Network - 05 (Player Plot - Let's Fix Up Bonnie's Place)

Who: Mercy Graves
Username: mercyme
Warnings: potential discussion of fantasy racism
What: Starting up a Player Plot to fix up Bonnie's Flophouse. Let's give everyone nicer housing!

To the Gentlefolk of Other Worlds,

We have proved our mettle in Wolf Pen and returned home in both triumph to overcome a great evil, and grief for what was lost, despite our best efforts otherwise. For Sradans, my people, this is a feeling we know well. We name it the Living Haunt, for the memories will be with us until we are laid beneath the quiet soil and know our final rest. I pray that those who were lost in those distant mountains may find their ways to their gods, and know what peace and joy the Endless Sleep may bring. And that their bodies may bring life to the soil to feed those they loved.

But as they rest, we move on with our Living Haunt. Mine rests heavy, but that is not without its merits, for it is a motivating force. In Wolf Pen, we made a home for one family. Here in Gloucester, there is a home for many that is in equally poor repair, one that some of our own people set their boots aside in.

I speak of Bonnie's flophouse. I have spoken with her, and she has agreed to allow repair efforts at her property if I organize these efforts and attend to the costs. I am one woman. I can do what it is in me to, but no more. I would beg assistance from the rest of our number. There is much good to be done with ADI in defending this world against threats beyond our imagining. But cold and rain and hunger are great dangers to the common folk. We could help with this.

As a Sister of the Spring Tide, it is my duty to do so. I will be assembling equipment to begin repairs first on the roof and on the exterior of the building. For nothing can be accomplished fully until we know our efforts will not be washed away with the next storm.

Who would join me? I ask for your expertise, your time, and whatever funds you can contribute.

May the spring bring life to you and yours,
Mercy Graves

It must have been a pretty big adjustment for you, then, coming here. Especially if you haven't been able to celebrate the days you're used to.

I'd like to think we can all make it home someday. Maybe you could bring some of the good knowledge back with you.

I wouldn't say 'villains.' But there are such things that no human thought would exist until they saw them for the first time.

I don't know what he's like, but hopefully he's friendly.

Really? How interesting.

He must be made of very well tempered glass with very few imperfections. Glass can be quite strong if used correctly, but it would take quite the craftsman. I wonder who made him.
abrightboy: (pretty pleased)

Sounds educational. I hope I meet him some time.

It wasn't your fault, though. I hope they'll understand that when you get back.

More than glad to offer my help Sister.

Looking forward to it.

I'm made of stronger stuff than I look. Don't underestimate me.

I don't know anything about the Spring Tide, but - I hope so, too. Or that they'll know it when you go back, even if they don't know it now.

And if you need any help putting together information to bring back, I'd be happy to help.

[Beau can't remember if Aelwyn has used that exact word, but she knows her well enough to know Aelwyn doesn't mess around with people who don't impress her in some way. The fact she's stuck by Mercy like this says more than any other words she could've provided.]

don't sell yourself short on that, either. you've done a lot of good. and looks like you're gonna keep doing it, so there will be more.

not her. i was too busy with jimmy at the top. he gave me some shit during the tour beforehand so it was personal. glad someone else was able to go take care of the rest of them because there's only so many wax guys i can punch at one time.

Regrettably, I would like to try it because curiosity demands I do. I have no doubt it will be too much for my tastes when even the bread here is too sweet.
