December FamMeet

Who: The Grove
What: Town Hall
When: Mid-Late December
Where: Inn Lobby
Warnings: Child death mentions, torture, body horror all probably will be brought up.

[ In the morning, Irene will trek around the Grove to knock on doors and let everyone know she's setting up a information sharing meeting in the Inn's lobby. She figures there would be best, considering the new fireplace (thread pending on my behalf) set up and the fact it's about as safe as they're going to get.

Irene also lets everyone know that any fights and any blatant drama starters will be met with punishment. She doesn't elaborate on this further. Zahliya is invited. Irene tells Moder if she wants to sit by the door to listen, she can. She does not invite the merchant siblings, however - though she'll make no objections if someone else does.

She seems to be writing things down in their shared journals this meeting so people can reference this later.

Is that so...? It cannot be too terribly frightening, yes? Gnosis told me there are so many people upon Terra, and the number he gave to me. Was something I have never heard of in my life - countless! I was so happy to hear, that countless amounts of people live upon your realm. I am so glad!

[ Cause you know, having that large populace compared to her knowledge of like a few million people is bonkers to her. ]

Haha, it isn't so bad once you get used to things. Admittedly, our world is in a bit of a tumultuous time at the moment...but that is what people like us are working hard to fix.

[People like Rhodes Island. Without them, the world would be a much darker place, he feels.]

It is a feat to behold for sure...you don't often think about just how many people there are in the world. From Sargon, to Lungmen, to all lands in between. I take it your world was much smaller?

Ah... Well I do not know anything beyond Grandall... Our coasts have an endless storm swarming them. With mountains that border the entirety of the continent. It would be impossible to go through them, and no one has ever said to have seen anything.... [ Caoimhe thinks of her homelands, fondly. Missing them. ] Though legends do tell, of lands that exist far away.... The idea that maybe, there are so many more people... Well, it is delightful and more believable the more people that I meet here within the Grove.

If the rumors say as much, then there must be some merit to them.

[But Sesa also likes to err on the side of being optimistic in cases such as these.]

Though the borders of your lands may seem impassable now, nothing is forever. That may change in the future!

[ She smiles gently, ] Do you really think that?

[ Almost looking to him, with a hope that he has an answer to her question. ]

Of course I do. In my mind, hardly anything is impossible. There are just some things that require more sophisticated, complicated solutions.

[ That thing people do, when they are registering what is said looking away as if its clicking together and there is relief coming upon them in full - ]

[ And with said relief, and in second part. She looks up, with a warm smile. ]

Thank you.
