It's finally time to reap the rewards you've earned from all that hard work collecting and returning the Hope orbs! Be careful walking the streets during the small earthquakes, but feel free to admire the scenery as your beautiful city reassembles its way back into its former glory.

There are new houses where the destroyed buildings once were, and they're perfect for a single person or pair of lovebirds. In addition, you'll find that the electricity to these new houses, and all other homes and shops in the city is restored. The food is better, the monsters are gone- hey, this city might be livable again!

To cap it all off, we've got a feast waiting for you on the 19th! Come one, come all, and enjoy all of your favorite foods, drinks, and party games. It's been awhile since we've all gotten together to celebrate something good, so get your party on and toss all your troubles away!

Noooo, my hair! 「He looks suddenly terrified! And about to fall because he tries to get away from her, or fight her, who knows.」

You wouldn't! That's just cruel! Reeeeey!

[roseofthetyrells]

[Margaery doesn't feel bad about it at all. no one should feel bad about the death of Joffrey Baratheon]

Yes, I think I will. Thank you.

[knifecollecting]

[Jo doesn't know anything about Joffrey...

She scoots over and pulls out another chair, smiling at Margaery.]

Have a seat. I'll share my olés with you.

[circumitus]

For fuck's sake...

[Regardless of what he tries to do, Rey's got him pretty effortlessly in a death grip now, one arm over his back and the other trying to keep him from reeling forward to escape or... whatever the hell he's trying to do now.]

Calm down. Unless you want me to carry you. Because trust me, you weigh just about nothing to me.

...

And having your head shaved isn't that bad. Better than it getting burned off.

[roseofthetyrells]

[Marg could enlighten her!

she sits in the chair and smiles back]

That's very kind of you.

[knifecollecting]

[Sooner or later.

Jo carefully scoops a few of the spiced tater tots onto Margaery's plate.]

What do you have from home? Looks like game meat.

[wantsnudes]

Yes, well... I'd be more suspicious if everything had gone smoothly. But for the time being, things are finally improving for everyone in the city.

[and he's not about to look a gift horse in the mouth by fretting over the dangers, when this is at least a small triumph they've earned.]

[circumitus]

[It helps that there's definitely more to a wild life than sex, drugs, and rock and roll.]

Several areas became targeted by synthetic assholes who were trying to send a message -- not much different from the Null, really, except I'd take the Null any day. These fuckers hit with biological warfare first. It was messy shit that doesn't make for wholesome dinner conversations.

[proselytise]

[ He takes it, and tries to figure out where he can dump it. Who knows what's touched the glass, after all. ]

Ah, if it does, I sure don't know about it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.

Re: 16th

[soldier_blade]

So these are a regular event? Monthly? [She would feel a little better if that was the case. With how she was feeling a majority of the time in this place, she couldn't afford to jump suspicion at every strange occurrence.]

She motioned to the platter of enchiladas.] Please, take some. Can't eat all of this myself.

[abyssalarcana]

[There seems to be no further elaboration. Just the one word. Great. Good talk.]

Never heard of it.

[roseofthetyrells]

[everyone needs to know what a monster Joffrey was.

she nods her head in gratitude]

It's venison. I haven't had any since I came here. I'd let myself forget how much I missed it.

Re: 16th

[knifecollecting]

No, not really. [Jo settles into a seat and checks out the offered food.]

There's one every few months.

[outofthefire]

[she had the sex and drugs covered. not so much the rock and roll]

...yeah. I'd imagine it wouldn't.

[she has no idea what biological warfare is, but it sounds unpleasant.

[proselytise]

Compliments to the chef, uh...whoever they are.

[ It is a mystery. ]

If this Boss of yours ever shows up, I promise not to tell him about this.

[knifecollecting]

[Give it time, Caedra.]

They're from home. It's ground meat and some lettuce and cheese. In a shell.

[circumitus]

[That's too bad. Rock and roll is Rey's favorite part. Or, well, it's the only part she's got covered.]

Mm. So if the place isn't smashed, no one's going to be serving lunch there anytime soon in its current state.

[She snorts as she finishes her drink.]

[knifecollecting]

Oh, it's been a while since I had venison. [She laughs quietly.]

It's hard to get good food here.

[soldier_blade]

Raise a good point. [Somehow, the notion of the gods creating food, when they could bring back the dead, seemed just more disturbing then the former.] Ham and cheese omelets, and the eggs are real, not powdered.

[She wasn't so picky as to refuse any food if that was all she had to deal with, but it only meant she appreciated real food when it came by There's also hashbrowns, and the carafe has coffee-though if you want to try that, you may want to add milk or sugar in it.

[Her preference was more black, but she had no real idea if Daenerys ever tried it before or not, and black coffee took getting used to.

[abyssalarcana]

[Patience is extremely overrated.]

In a shell? Tell me that didn't translate right. Like a clam?

[Can't humans not eat things like that? Their teeth aren't strong enough and neither are the weak acids in their mouth or stomach.]

[bythewaves]

That can be hard, when there is a gap. [ Maglor agrees ] Although it is a little different for us, for the Eldar do tend to prefer to wait until their children are almost grown before having the next, for the bearing and rearing of a child is quite wearying on the parents. My family is a little unusual in that respect, but even so, between Maedhros, the eldest, and the Ambarussa, the youngest, lie almost five hundred years.

[swiftlet]

That...is quite the gap, I'd say. There are only 5 or 6 years between Tyson and me, but I suppose to a harling that's an eternity.

[bythewaves]

It's the strain on the fea, the soul, that is the main reason. [ Maglor explains ]

Quite a bit of both parents go into the bearing of the child. Father was very worried about Mother, so there's almost eighty between Maedhros and I - they waited until he was almost to his full maturity and was no longer drawing on the bond between them. After that, the gap shrinks somewhat, to around fifty years, sometimes more, sometimes less. But many parents will wait for the first child to reach their full century before the next, and many never have more than one. Seven is unheard of, although even my cousins come from large families of four and five, respectively.

I know the differences for mortals are less acute, though.

[outofthefire]

[she'd offer to set Rey up with the sex and drugs part if she thought Rey would be receptive]

That's too bad. War is hell. At least that's what they say on TV.

[swiftlet]

I'm not sure I know any better, either. I've never known any human families and Tyson is...complicated.
