souls have been lost and the panic grows

[That... that was hell, actually. Wendy didn't like that at all. After the trial she... has to head to the kitchen and hopefully not find clay shit everywhere. She needs to do something to keep things under control. To keep things going.

She's not a great cook but she knows the basics. Meat. Bread. Cheese. Something warm for the belly to drink. She's nervous when she works but she's relentless. There's no asking for help from her as she makes a spread for everyone. Then... she's moving all of it not to the eatery but the bonfire.

Making makeshift tables around it and placing trays of food and drink. Even setting up a chair for Alex a good distance away from the fire but close enough that he can be part of things if he wants to.

Wendy, with her careful writing, writes up some notes and hands them out to everyone if she can find them or if not under their door.

Food at the bonfire and the area around it. Attendance not mandatory but it's probably better for all of us if we stick together. Bring more food and drink if you want.

...She can't control other people but she can try to suggest.]

That is what you would hope, is it not? Hopefully nothing has gone pear-shaped that has nothing to do with any of this.

She can handle enough of my duties to get by.

[ Casually enough. Luna clearly has no doubts there. ]

What do you think of yours?

Oh, I am certain he is doing just fine. We are in different departments, so my disappearance would not necessarily cause any problems to him, outside of not having someone outside his discipline to bounce ideas off of. But I am sure he can find someone.

[raisethemoon]

I suppose that is all well enough.

[ Is his hostage really just a colleague? She doesn't have any room to talk, though. ]

...At the very least, I am glad nothing actually happened to him. He is quite the visionary, so I think the world would be worse without him.
