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 thought I wouldn't miss anyone. Back in my first year my section lieutenant, Savitskaya, she used to say she'd make me write if it were up to her. I understand that better now.' Leah Savitskaya, who saw her own children twice a year and knew what Tayrey was doing to her poor father.

'It's easy to be too excited. Too busy. But... he is proud. After I passed for lieutenant he sent a message. He'd known where I was the whole time, just-' she smiles softly, '-let me stay, let me find my own excellence.' Made her feel exceptionally guilty for all the uncharitable thoughts she'd had about the family having her dragged back if they found out.

'So did you decide to become a doctor because of your father? Following after him? I'm sure he'd have valued that.'

"Well hey, glad to hear it. Your dad sounds like a stand-up guy."

Letting his kid go off and make a name for theirself... yeah, he knows what that's like.

"More or less. I didn't really have a choice- I mean, not like how I got drafted, but y'know. Always wanted to help people, couldn't help but stick my nose into situations, steady hands, perfect doctor material. You should've seen his face when I told him I got into med school. I don't know if he was prouder that I was becoming a doctor, or that I wasn't taking after my Grandpa Sparky and trying to scam the government for a living."

Good ol' Grandpa Sparky.

"I don't know how any of the magic junk here works, but... a letter from him washed up in a bottle last month. I don't know if this place does encores for this sort of thing, but. I hope you get word from yours too, eh?"
