WELCOME POTLUCK

Greetings, residents! Those more observant sorts among you may have noticed a large influx of very crowded ferries. In order to welcome our new residents en masse, Town Hall is holding a potluck in Town Square. Please bring a dish if you are able and make a new friend!

All of our newest arrivals need only bring themselves. We look forward to welcoming you all into our community, and may your lanterns always be lit.

This event is open to all! In light of our new influx of prospective players following the Great Sail Migration, we've decided to offer a small public event to tide everyone over until the TDM this weekend.

Nimona doesn't resist. She buries herself against Erin, hiding her face in her shirt, and voices a small whine.

It takes a minute for the canine vocalizations to shift back to words, during which Nimona just keeps herself pressed close, trembling. "I don't ever wanna be human again," she whimpers. "It was awful. But -- " a heave of breath, " -- but I'm glad you didn't get stuck too. I wish you hadn't died but at least you weren't there."

"You're gonna miss thumbs -" Beat. "Apes, nevermind, you're covered. And even if you weren't you know I've got you."

Erin almost says that monsters gotta stick together.

Almost.

"I can hear birds," she murmurs instead. "And waves, in the distance. Wind through the trees. We made it, youngblood."

Nimona lets out another gasp, watery and tinged with laughter. "Yeah," she says; her voice wobbles. "There's so much stuff. Real stuff. Grass, and trees, and, and dirt -- there's bugs, Erin, like, not just Victor bugs either."

She swallows.

"A lotta humans, but. A lotta people like us, too. I think."

She hopes. Oh, she hopes.

Hrmmm...wrap?

"If nothing else, we brought a lot with us," Erin agrees. "And when I find people in charge I ain't gonna be shy about it. You know how I feel about it."

Deep breath...

"Think I can get you to steal me some food?"

Wrap! <3

"Heh. Hell yeah. Back in a sec," says Nimona, and sneaks a quick lick on Erin's cheek before bounding toward the tables.

Hope nobody minds if half a turkey and a whole bowl of potato salad go missing.
