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.

"I know how he feels."

..... is the change of tone his fault?

"Uh, no, I uh- the last I remember I was in Korea. There was this nutty war on, everyone was crazy about it, the draft board assumed I was too and shipped me over. Uh- are you okay? We got kind of... morose, out of nowhere."

"I'm sorry. I'm not usually like this." Keziah shakes her head. "Sometimes months goes by where I don't see anyone in my family, but... but it's different now. I always had the option to see them when I wanted to, and now I don't.

"I think it's just dawning on me how much I will miss them. How much I already do." She takes a breath. "But you... you must know that feeling, too. Sent to a war on the other side of the world..."

"I get it," Hawk agrees, a hand going to the piece of paper still folded up in his breast pocket.

"Yeah, I uh... haven't seen my dad since I was shipped off. Sorry- this is uh, a lot," he doesn't exactly try to flirt with beautiful women to remember his problems.

"What can you do?" he asks rhetorically, but... yeah. What can they do?

"I am sorry. I should... probably go. I'd hate to bring the mood down any further, for you or the rest."

She pushes back from the table, makes to rise.
