What's the point in waiting? I'm ready now. [The urge to cut through all of those who separate him from Padmé and his galaxy has grown too strong.] Stop toying with me and face me. I'm not frightened of you even if you call yourself a "god".

The Force is with me.

[His eyes are a deep gold instead of their usual blue, yet Anakin is forcing himself to stay still. He is sitting in a meditative position, making himself breathe deeply and evenly.]

It's a shame to not use this power.

[There is no one in the populace currently that has earned his ire, so Anakin has to swallow his anger, tucking it away along with many, many other jumbled emotions.]

Give me something I can use or send me back.

[So he can continue making horrible mistakes. Really, his future is stunning.]

We are stronger than our anger...than our fear... [Says the man who gives into both.] Strike it down.

prophesiedone

Is anyone else experiencing a sense of foreboding?

[Is he late to the discussion? Good job, Anakin.]

I won't complain about my lightsaber attacking me anymore if we can just...

Go back to normal?

Hmm...

[ It's not often that your resident Witcher comes asking for help on the network. Well, he's not exactly asking for help so to speak but he's definitely in a quandary.

Standing outside one of the spires, Roach behind him trying to graze from the earth below her feet. ]

Now, how do you get a horse up a flight of stairs?

[ Now that things seemed to have settled down and peoples belongings were no longer trying to kill everyone, Geralt thought it was high time he actually took up abode inside one of the buildings... Y'know, instead of roughing it as he had been. ]

Now that our possessions have ceased any conscious attempts to slaughter us, I'd like to take a moment to discuss the fate of the Fire Brigade with the city.

For those of you who are new or have never encountered it, we do indeed have one- however, its founder vanished some weeks ago. Add in a few other disappearances, and we find ourselves severely understaffed should another fire break out.

I’ve taken command of the unit for now and Oscar has maintenance of the fire engines well in hand, but either of us or any of our volunteers could vanish at any time- so I’m looking for volunteers. Anyone who would want to help in case of an emergency, anyone with an interest in machines, please consider joining up with the Fire Brigade. Anyone with a gift for controlling fire or water would be particularly welcome.

Varda willing, we will never need the extra hands- but we all know what Hadriel is like well enough by now. Better to be prepared than caught off-guard.

[For anyone interested, the sign-up page for the Fire Brigade is located here]

Locked to the Fire Brigade:

Good day.

Mr. Curufin, the Fire Brigade's head and founder, is no longer here.

Who will be assuming command?

[He is like a caged beast, moving restlessly indoors while the wind howls at his doors and windows. Anakin has never done well alone, but he's afraid to live with anyone.]

How can anyone stand this planet? [Gripping his mechno-hand into a tight fist, he breathes deeply, trying to calm the anger he feels almost constantly.] What needs to be done? I'm strong; I'm powerful - I can help.

[Anything is better than being stuck with his memories.]

I'm Anakin Skywalker, by the way, and I think I've been here before.

Sooooo, guys, girls, others. What's the grossest thing you've ever eaten?

[Don't mistake this for her not being concerned about Caedra, and not being concerned about generally everything, but a recent conversation and a recent find has piqued her curiosity enough to ask the question.

For her own answer, she holds up a small, white, chalky-looking cube.]

This one's mine. It's called 'carbtien', and it's basically what we live on back home, because we can't grow enough food for everyone. It's military rations, and I don't know what they put in it, but it doesn't taste of anything and when you try to swallow it, it's like your brain forgets how swallowing works.

[Julie snorts softly and drops the cube down out of sight.]

I found a big bag of them just lying around a couple of weeks ago. Weird, right? I guess I'll keep it safe for if we ever end up starving or something. You might not thank me, though.

[while Margaery may be in her usual place in the Sewing Shop, that's not what she's choosing to address. not this time.

sure, she's dressed up as usual, she has her sword laid across her lap and visible in the frame of the video.

she's also not wearing her usual bright smile. instead, her expression is deadly serious]

As I'm sure we're all aware, the demon has been temporarily been . . . put out of commission. Now, this is not the place to debate the wisdom of vigilante justice. Dr. Sweets appears to have that well in hand. No, what this is is the place to discuss what measures may be taken to prevent the demon from taking its rage out on the entirety of Hadriel.

The gods will do nothing. Tranquility told me himself that they will only take action if they themselves are threatened. So we're left to fend for ourselves. We must make our plans ourselves and it would be far better to have those plans coordinated well in advance of its release.

So I am directing this to anyone who has ideas for what to do when the demon is inevitably released back into the populace. Surely there are those with powers or skills which could prevent it from going on a murderous rampage. Now is the time for those people to step forward and offer their ideas.

Thank you for your time and attention.

[Jon has been in Hadriel for a few months now, and because he's a member of the Guard, and Sansa Stark's brother, most other residents have probably seen him around. Still, he's a quiet man, however affable, and using the network is not second nature to him. It's likely that most people don't know much about him, except that they might be able to accurately recognize him as coming from a world where the technology is still set at "medieval." If they've heard him speak, they might also assume he's from Northern England, but the truth is that he's not from England at all.

He's dressed as he usually is, today, in a dark brown brigandine and a gorget with two facing wolf heads at the front center. His expression is curious and interested, while his tone is serious.]

I have a question for everyone -- for anyone who's willing to speak to me on the matter.

To some extent, I know what we face here. I'm always learning, but I'm beginning to have a better understanding of it.

What I want to know is: what do you face at home?

(Sansa's Tully blood has surfaced enthusiastically thanks to their new environment, taking her somewhat by surprise. She is dressed in a white shift and she is barefoot, standing on a rock near the sea. Her auburn hair is plaited neatly down her back and she is smiling at the rolling waves below.)

I don't believe I have ever learned how to properly swim. I need lessons; can anyone provide?

(Or there's just the "jump in the water and figure it out" method. She would rather not go about it so crudely.)

The water looks refreshing. Is it cold? The sun must warm the uppermost layer, but the depths have to be freezing.

[ Curufin is standing at the eastern edge of the Orchard, whose branches are green-leaved and some heavy with fruit. One of the firetrucks is parked behind him. Nearby are tables stacked with baskets and boxes, for the collection of fruit, plus vegetables, herbs and other edible plants that are growing in gardens amongst the trees. Another table is covered with dishes of food and glasses of wine and other beverages, refreshments for the workers. (This post is backdated to May 21.) ]

A few days ago Dr. Sweets was talking to the community about organizing supplies for the upcoming relocation to another planet. Various efforts are now underway.

At the moment, we are harvesting the Orchard for anything that can be stored or cached, in case the trees are damaged in the move or the new planet's climate is cold or hot enough to kill off the trees and plants.

The Fire Brigade is volunteering a fire engine to be a transport vehicle for whatever we collect today and in the next few days. We need to get the produce to locations where it can be stored safely.

And for that, we need some locations! Would anybody like to volunteer or suggest some?

We could use some more help with the picking, too! Everybody welcome! We have food and drink for you -- harvesting is thirsty work, and hungry work.

I understand that some of you have gardens here in the Orchard. We won't touch your plants without your permission. Just let us know. If you are donating your produce, we'll help pick it, if you like.

[It feels like forever since he's made a network post, even though it's really only been about a month. But a lot has happened, and he's going to talk about absolutely none of it.

Instead, there are some pressing issues affecting everyone, and those are more important right now.]

Although this event is distracting, to put it mildly, it might help to focus on something else if possible. We know that we'll soon change locations, and since we have warning we can try to prepare; even if we don't know exactly where we're going to end up, making sure we have enough supplies, clothing, and that sort of thing will help, especially if things go unexpectedly.

[Like there's something wrong when they move, or the gods forgot to warn them about something, or the planet is different from how they remember, or any number of other reasons that might interrupt those in Hadriel's usual abilities to just go scavenge for what they might need.]

So those who are able to do so might consider preparing a little, as well as helping friends and acquaintances who might not be able to do because of the event. Even if you're not interested in looking for or stockpiling anything, those who haven't already should check in on those they know and make sure they're doing alright.

[Considering the range in severity this event.]

I have a thing to ask; a thing that is not acceptable in my world, but it is part of my story and I think I must acknowledge it. I have noticed that other residents of Hadriel share half of my inclination, at least, and I must ask:

Is it possible for one man or woman to be attracted to both genders? I mean no offense. I admit that my first love - unrequited - was female. My wife was surely female! But there was a male...briefly...though he was naught but a monster seeking to ravage the world.

bythewaves

There's a creature here who killed my friend, and injured my brother. I don't know what it calls itself, but my friend describes a woman with eyes as black as pitch.

[ His eyes are far too bright to be human, a feral fire lit behind them ]

Have a care for yourselves, for it has, apparently, killed at least once and tried to do so more than that.

[ And then almost absently ]

Findekano, my king, I ask your blessing on my hunt.

[ And you know, permission to torture and play with his prey but he won't say that aloud ]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Are you the people? The new hosts? Hello!!!!!!!! I am 864578 sub 5. If you like you may refer to me as [Name].

Oh

We hurt you so much

I'm so.... I'm so angry! With myself! With my people! Why did we do that? You are just trying to survive!

Oh

I am alone. In your city.

I am afraid.

Will you kill me if you find me? I hope you don't. I will continue to hide.

I won't hurt you.

We can be friends?

mightypen

Okay. So. Maybe this is an obvious question and I missed the memo on it, but...

We have a lot of competent adults around, yeah? Fighters, planners, all that.

Why hasn't there been a plan to go on the offensive against the evil robots?

Having good defenses is important, don't get me wrong. We're doing pretty damn good on that front all things considered.

[There's a sigh.]

Maybe I'm just not used to being the one doing the waiting at camp.

So... second question. How do you guys deal with the waiting?

There isn't exactly a climbing wall with Real Lava Action here to kill time on, let alone SAT's and homework to battle with.

(Private to Curufin & Yukari.)

(He chooses to keep this as audio as the topics might be a little sensitive. ~~Yes, Celebrimbor thinks of things like that.~~)

Do you need help? I know you haven't asked me, but I'm offering.

(As kind as he might seem - as gentle - he is an Elf who knows battle well.)

(/)

I think I need to change my routine. I find it far too easy to fall into a rut. (And a change will stop him from worrying too much about his uncle.) How far has anyone explored? Is there any point to it?

utulien_aure

Private to Elfhouse residents + Anakin

Check in, all of you. And Curvo, Kano, you should come home.

[A pause, then] There's something wrong with Maitimo.

stonebird

(The change in weather has been difficult on everyone and everything. Sansa has her abundant hair tied back and she is wearing a much lighter dress than usual.)

I have food for you. Don't be frightened. (She rattles a bowl - gently, not obnoxiously - hoping to entice a rather emaciated dog.) If you need water, we have enough to spare for you.

(The poor thing isn't big enough to need much of anything to eat or drink.)

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might get him inside for a good meal and a bath?
