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.

Wendy


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

Even then... such abilities might be even beyond Death.

[She's sure Castorice would love to be able to bring back all those that withered away at her touch. But alas...]

Mmm... that sort of threat is usually a last resort. I worry that his threats might soon quickly turn to stronger attempts to attack, rather than appeal. Even if others were willing to take him up on any future offers, he might get impatient. He might try to take a more active role in this game of his.

[She doesn't have much faith in Typhon's power, she's sure he's still far weaker than Athena, possibly even them with their new powers. But she's also fully prepared to be wrong.]

Precisely. It's a threat to keep people under check. To keep them from trying to escape.

[That wasn't how it went with Astarion. He'd had no family. But one of his vampiric siblings did have a daughter.]

I'm afraid of what comes next.

[A nod of agreement.]

... It's the children, that concern me the most.

...There are far too many of them among our numbers. What was Athena thinking?
