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

I could take you out, even. :)

I have a notion to help with our finances, but it is a thing some may not approve of. I think you would understand, though. It might be a little easier from Bonnie's place.

What's your idea, darling?

More importantly, they insist on the same traditions: they bury their dead with finery, instead of leaving that to those who would come after and cherish such old things as something new.
I would like to give those old things a life that isn't just sullying the soil with things it cannot take so easily as a body.

I actually watched a YouTube documentary about how a lot of the businesses behind funerary practices in this world are a scam designed to prey on grieving families to get them to pay as much money as possible as a sort of proof that they loved them in the first place.
[She's trying to think of how she can extract fear from such a scenario, if they're to go ahead with this, she might as well keep herself fed.]
I can help you with that. How early would you like to start?

That is a perversion of the arts my people have studied for generations. I have a mind to take what we can from the coffers of these thieves, as well.
I would start as soon as it might be feasible. Where I was planning to have my spring festival may be the best spot. It is a graveyard beside a park. It would be easy to slip in and out if I can find a place in there to hide some equipment.
