Mind if someone technically homeless crashes your benefit for the homeless (and other things) tonight?[Mark Collins]
Okay, let's say for the sake of argument I'm willing to hear you out on working up there and trying to be a functional human again. Fill me in?
I don't suppose your couch is available for the night? I don't mean to be a bother, I'm just working a double shift and another tomorrow, seems a waste of funds to book a room for about six hours.
Is everyone okay? All limbs accounted for?

So who loves me best, exactly?
I'm reaching out to you because we've either been in this discussion since the beginning, or you are friends with Marie D'Ancanto. Myself, I feel the weight of responsibility because the woman we seek is Jadis, the White Witch of Narnia.
So, I'm reaching out to Steve Rogers and Snow White. Not because I do not think we're incapable of figuring up a way to save Marie and the others who came to this fate, but because we can't do anything without a plan - we found Marie because she wanted us to. We don't know where she is, what kind of associates she keeps, we do not have any intelligence. Therefore, we must wait for her to come to us.
Aslan's right out. There is no hope in him. We must look to our own strength. That's why I think the best idea is to include our Councilors and Command to set up some rules. But in the meantime, if we all watch one another's back and if we don't go off alone ... we'll be in a better position to fight her when she finally shows herself.
I'm sure you've seen by now that Marie D'Ancanto has been found turned to stone. And while we've all been guessing at the activities of this White Witch, the one our people called Jadis, I'm now confident that it's her. In Narnia, she could travel between worlds. She'd even been to our London once, before going back and obtaining immortality.
But when Rogue found her - when she spoke of sleigh bells, when the snow began to fall again - I've got it all sealed quite up in my mind. It's her. And here are a couple more ways to know it:Track the patterns of people who live around the mountain. See where they're going and how they flow. She'll start to gather power around her.
Watch for snow. It's begun again, and it's a herald of her power. I have hope that the snow is wet, heavy and hard to stay, well. Snow. Perhaps she is not full-powered. But if she can sledge about in it, that's her sign. She wants us to know she's come.
Watch our people, please. Many of them are very powerful in their own world and I think could be tempted to Jadis' way of thinking if she positions herself in the right of their thinking. It wouldn't shock me if she'd already had spies among us.
At the edge of this, I truly don't believe we'll find her until she is quite ready. Her power will shield her from our view, unless you have technology I'm not familiar with. But I think we can be well-prepared to defend against her, whilst we find a way to determine exactly how to fix those people turned to stone.
