Hello, everyone.

My name is Alisaie Leveilleur. It seems a greeting may have preceded me given my brother's usual timely introduction.

I'll not waste your time with superfluous details of my arrival. I'm certain you've had your fill of tales from newcomers of faraway lands. However, I would particularly like to speak with whoever is in charge guard in Havenwell. Perhaps I could offer some manner of assistance with what skills I have to offer.

Even so, if you're a civilian or otherwise I would be interested in meeting you. I hear there is quite an eclectic assortment of people here.

Uhh. [Oh geez.] A group from off-world just robbed the research towers. Everybody's kind of on edge, so someone showing up asking a lot of questions about security is probably gonna look suspect as hell, or at the very least tactless.

[thefatedpath]

I have a 'fortunately' timed arrival, it seems.

[ She huffs. ]

All right. I'll treat the situation with some due discretion. Mayhaps give it some time before asking questions.

[carbungle]

You could ask around in the temples first, or bring Era along. They're usually pretty chill, and being with someone who's on good terms with them could help. Just a thought, though.

[thefatedpath]

Not a horrible thought to have.

Are there any more current events that I should be aware of?

[carbungle]

Nothing right now comes to mind. But this place has kind of a schedule- you showed up in the quiet hour. Wait until mid-way through the month and things start to get weird.

[thefatedpath]

"Weird"?

[carbungle]

[Oh boy.]

There's really no better word for it. Last month we were coughing up flowers, a few months back we had a bird invasion, before that we had sentient food...

[thefatedpath]

You mean occurrences like that happen every month. On a predictable basis.

[carbungle]

Fairly predictable, yeah. You almost get used to it, over time.

[Gotta love being the bearer of bad news.]

[thefatedpath]

I Don't know if I'll ever become used to coughing flowers.

[carbungle]

Hah, okay, fair. I meant the weird stuff happening in general, not the specifics, but yeah.

[thefatedpath]

If that's anything to go on, I don't think I'll become used to what's to come either.

[carbungle]

Can't blame you for that. I guess it makes us sound less crazy if we don't shrug off the really weird stuff. Like, I dunno if I want to reach a point where my hands turn into cookies and I think, "damn, not again".

[thefatedpath]

I'm...

Do I dare ask?

[carbungle]

Look, I'm not saying it happened. But I wouldn't be surprised if it did.

[thefatedpath]

At least I'll never be wanting for surprises.

[ SIIIIGH. ]

[carbungle]

Yeah... welcome to Havenwell.

[His tone is more apologetic than welcoming, admittedly.]
