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.

Wayne, nonverbal as he normally would be, sort of wishes that talking about this didn't take as much time and energy as it does. He just wants to exist and be able to quietly sit and not have to relay all the details to put context to everything. It was easier at home where everyone knew about as much as everyone else...

He grimaces at the account, contemplating his food rather than looking back at her. He's too used to not having to make eye contact. "The Poolmen were doing that with our larvae. Stealing them and converting them into things that would fight us on sight. I'm sorry," he says earnestly, finally looking back at her again. "Same suffering."

Keziah reaches out and lightly touches his hand for a moment -- her expression sympathetic, eyes understanding even if she doesn't look directly at him.

And then she pulls back, lapsing into silence. She's perfectly fine with remaining quiet beside him, occupied with her own thoughts for the time being.

The touch is more comforting than she might realize. He was close with his crew, happy to sprawl with them, offer a bump or a lean or a hug. He has yet to meet a Wayne that wasn't like that.

The silence is also comforting. It lets him return to his food while he watches the crowd with unfocused eyes. Part of him wants to turn himself into something small and slink away... Maybe later.
