addressed to Thorne, but open to all.

To the Summoned of Thorne,

I have a proposition, a humble request, or perhaps an opportunity -- depending on how you choose to view it.

As you likely know by now, Kell and I have taken up residence in the city of Nott, which (as you also likely know) continues to be short on resources not as freely available there as they have been in the castle town. Recently, a plan was put in place to renovate the old hospital in Nott, which has been in disrepair and requires various physical upkeep, as well as staff.

If any of you should find yourselves with extra time you wish to donate, it would be well appreciated. If you have experience with architecture or building, that's great -- if not, that's not a problem. We need people to carry supplies, help make and bring meals for those doing the manual labor, or really just anyone who can hold a hammer and follow basic instructions. If you want to volunteer, work will be found for you; there are always never-ending lists of tasks, and never enough hands to take them up.

The weather is cold and wet now, but we're getting started on the interior. If you're willing to cast warming enchantments, that's also an option.

I can list more ideas if needed, but feel free to offer your talents. Surely, uses will be found for them. And I know you're all a talented enough bunch.

One more thing -- thank you to all who volunteered their time, coin, or gifts to the orphanage last month. The matrons have asked me to pass along their gratitude, and the note that they would continue to appreciate volunteers there too, as they don't have enough adults to mind the children at this time.

I know this has been a long-winded note. Thank you for your time.

Our door is always open to friends. Please don't be shy.

Yours,



(( ooc: feel free to handwave your character helping out at any of these things, incorporate it into your own logs icly, etc! this will be an ongoing project spanning at least a few months, so also definitely hit me up ooc if you want your character to take a more hands-on or leadership approach, or if you have any other ideas!!

the location is an old infirmary in Nott. NPC locals will be working on it, as part of the project is to provide jobs for people who need them. ))

I would be happy to assist however I can. Physical labor may not be my forte, but I would gladly lend my developing cooking skills to the cause. And I'm certain we could easily get Clive involved, as well.

I knew I could count on you, Jill. Thank you.

Clive does seem the type to be able to carry all sorts of things...

[glaciare]

Of course. And please let me know if there is anything else you need.

That he is. He's no stranger to rebuilding, either -- he's helped patch things up around the place we called home on our world often enough. And for what he doesn't know, he takes direction quite well indeed.

[ Jill, please... ]

Sounds like a useful fellow to have around. Thanks for volunteering both your time.

And you're both welcome to visit if you like. No need to only be in touch for business. Why don't you stop by for a cup of tea next time you're in Nott? (Or use the tea as an excuse to portal over; that's fine too.)

[glaciare]

You're far too kind -- I'm not certain how to begin to repay it. But I think that would be lovely, and I am certain Clive would agree. If I may -- Dion and Joshua could both use the change of scenery and company far more than myself. Might I extend the invitation to them, as well?

[londonbound]

But of course! Please bring more people as you wish. I'm dreadfully bored and need to catch up on all the castle gossip. No one visits me!

[ This is a lie. But he wants more company anyway. ]
