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.

"Lake that eats people. Yeah," Daisy snorts. "That sounds about right."

At this point in her life a world without strange and incomprehensible horrors would be stranger to stumble into than one filled to the brim with them. A lake that might eat you feels almost normal. Like, sure. Why wouldn't the lake eat you. Cursed water's gotta eat too.

"I'll be careful. Gotta go out into the woods to Hunt either way. Food doesn't do anything for me these days." She's more Hunter than human, these days. It's a fact she's accepting, bit by bit. But it means it's Hunt animals, or Hunt people, and she'd rather like to avoid turning herself into the town's new boogeyman if at all possible. "Which—"

There's the subtle motion of her jaw rolling as she drags her tongue across her teeth and sighs. "If I get no nightmares after this. Maybe I can give you some old section 31 stories every now and then."

...sometimes when she hears herself speak she can almost see why Basira thought she'd gotten got by the Not-Them.

Jon's clearly surprised, and anything that he might've been expecting, preparing to say, fell short. This one statement was already a hell of a lot more than he could've ever anticipated from Daisy, much less the notion of additional ones. Avatar solidarity wasn't something he'd ever experienced--- Avatar hostility was more par for the course, if his last run-ins were anything to go off of--- but he sure isn't going to be caught complaining.

"Oh! I mean--- if you're sure?" He stumbles over his words, only just restraining an eagerness, though it was still just beneath the surface of his surprise. "Let me know about the nightmares or lack thereof, regardless of any old stories that come afterwards. It's something I really ought to be aware of."

It is a little funny, really, watching the surprise on his face. It's hardly the first time she's seen her change in behaviour catch him visibly off-guard, but... it's been a while. They'd sort of gotten used to the new normal, by the end.

"Yeah, I'm sure. Wouldn't offer if I wasn't." She pulls herself up from the ground, at last, and rolls her shoulders. "I'll let you know. Might not be enough to be 100% about it, mind you. I stopped getting them the first time after I stole an employment contract and signed it."

Have that tidbit that didn't make it into the statement. Didn't even get tricked into it, like Melanie, or forced into it, like Basira. She just did it. Just Daisy Things™.

"But we'll see."
