Uhhh roll call? I know I'm not the only one who suddenly found herself elsewhere. Thorne's ... real interesting.

If someone in Solvunn could check on the orchardists, I would appreciate it, they're a really nice family and they'll be worried.

[suplexer]

Yeah, I'm glad that I can help hold down the fort! Hopefully there are others who have remained in Thorne and the Free Cities too.

You said something about orchardists?

[divinityfrompain]

Yeah the people I live with. Just let them know I'm alright. I feel bad because usually I help keep crops and flowers alive in the winter and I can't now, but hopefully we'll swap back eventually. I'll fix it then.

[suplexer]

I really hope this isn't a permanent thing. That wouldn't be fair to anyone who's gotten used to where they live.

But I can check in on them. I'm pretty sure Wanda is still here, so maybe she can help with the crops and flowers in the meantime.

[divinityfrompain]

Maybe. I'm sure they'll be more worried about me than what I do for them, they're those types.

A lot of accidental teleports happened in Thorne.

[suplexer]

I can let them know you're okay, too.

It sounds like a lot of Solvunn Summoned ended up in Thorne. What's it like there?

[divinityfrompain]

It's a big drafty castle! It's very fancy. There's flooding here because of the earthquake so at least we'll have something to do/help out.

[suplexer]

That sure is a positive way of looking at it.

It sounds like a lot of animals got out in the chaos here. Thankfully the damage to buildings isn't too bad, and there's no flooding. Still plenty to do, though.

[divinityfrompain]

I'm trying to be on the bright side here because I've heard this place kind of SUCKS.

[suplexer]

I hope it's not as bad as what you've heard. I don't know all that much about Thorne, except that we had to protect ourselves from them with that water wall...

[divinityfrompain]

I've heard they're really controlling and oppressive sort of. There is definitely a vibe around here like 'watch yourself.'

Then again it's like SOOOO much magic and that is making my witch heart happy.

[suplexer]

That sounds so different from Solvunn... Please be careful.

You being so good with magic might work in your favor, though, yeah. I bet they're going to be impressed!

[divinityfrompain]

Maybe! It is really cool to be surrounded by mages and all the books I can possibly read on it. Plus I always wanted to live in a castle I'm not going to lie. I just hope it's temporary.

[suplexer]

I have no idea what living in a castle would even be like. I assume it's pretty fancy?

I also hope they can send you back eventually. It feels wrong to have everyone jumbled up like this. Not that we picked where we got summoned to, but...

[divinityfrompain]

It's super fancy! I'm wearing a fancy gown and everything. Listen I like the comfortable stuff in Solvunn, it is easier, but every once and awhile it's fun to get dolled up.

No, I agree, and I can't imagine them letting people STAY elsewhere. They kidnapped each of us fair and square.

[suplexer]

I'm not going to disagree! I don't dress up all that often, but it is fun for a special occasion. I don't know about doing it every day...

[ Dresses are usually a little too difficult to move in, for her. ]

That's one way to put it. But yeah, if you're not allowed to come back, I could see that causing issues and making the tension between the different territories even worse. So hopefully something gets figured out, sooner rather than later.

[divinityfrompain]

Hopefully eventually what WE want will factor in too. They'd be keeping us as hostages if they didn't do it, and pretty sure we're still considered a big deal around here.

[suplexer]

That's a good point. It might not be a bad idea for you to try and throw your weight around a little.

[carmesi]

Tifa and I will work on it, I promise.
It seems that many have ended up there. You'll be careful, won't you?

[divinityfrompain]

Definitely! I feel like I'm in some kind of period piece film in this castle, they have gowns and everything.

[carmesi]

A life of luxury, it seems.
What about Endrborrin? Do you still have a connection?

( wanda knows what it's like having a pact, and she wouldn't want to find out what happened if she could do her daily duties to her own god. )

[divinityfrompain]

I can still feel her, yes, but I'm going to see if I can make a little shrine here to contact her and let her know I haven't bailed.

[carmesi]

Sounds good.
If you need something to be done with the shrine here, let us know. I won't be able to touch it, but I'm sure someone else will.

[divinityfrompain]

Michael's offered to look out for it while I'm gone. He's a mensch. Luckily I recently redid all the flowers so they should be okay for a few weeks at least. I'm sure once she hears she'll understand though. Plus who knows, maybe I'll get some points for building a shrine in a not very religious spot so she's worshipped elsewhere for a time.

[carmesi]

I'm sure she'll appreciate that. If there's a territory that would be religious in a way similar to Solvunn, it might be Thorne.

[divinityfrompain]

Yeah Free Cities seems like it would be the most atheist. Hopefully this will be short. It's cool to play Guinevere for a short time and wear fancy gowns but I'd much rather be in pants in the dirt.
