Where: All over the city!
When: April 15th-April 19th

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!

I hope not. [she hands it over with a smile]

You're welcome. [Margaery swirls her wine in her glass a little before breathing it in, then taking a sip]

No, not really. I saved it for special occasions in King's Landing. I didn't drink that much there as it was. I had to keep my wits sharp.

[Jo doesn't swirl the wine, but she does take a slow sip. She knows that much about wine.]

You never got to relax, did you?

[she takes another sip as she ponders how best to answer that question]

...in truth? No.

That had to suck. [Jo can't imagine living like that.]

It wasn't easy. [she'd thought that it would all be worth it in the end, but in the end all she did was die horribly]

[Jo understands that.]

Are you relaxing here?

[Margaery used to be able to say "yes" to that question, but after first losing Matt and then being murdered, she can't anymore]

I used to be able to.

[Jo watches the other woman for a moment, thinking back over some of their conversations.]

I'm sorry.

[immediately, Margaery feels that she's revealed too much and tries to retreat into her pleasant, pleasing persona]

What's there to be sorry for?

[She shrugs.]

None of us get what we really want, I think. Especially here. You're used to better.

...yes. And no. If it were better back home, I'd never have died.

...Yeah. [God, Jo could practically hear herself say that too.]

Unfortunately, shit does happen.

[deaths while still young with your lives still ahead of you are the worst deaths]

I suppose it does. [forces herself back into good cheer] But I'm alive here and I'll be going to another world when all of this is done.

[Ah, a change of subject. Oh well. Jo looks up curiously.]

Matt's world?

Yes, Matt Murdock. He was here for a while and helped a great deal in the lead-up to the Null attack.

Yeah, I remember him. [She smiles.]

Sometimes people come back. Maybe he will.

I'm so glad to hear that.

Perhaps? I--try to not get my hopes up.

It's more power for the god taking care of us. [Whether or not it happens.]

I suppose so. Although, I don't think much of Hope as a person.

Yeah? Why's that?

He was terribly rude to me and I'd only asked a few simple questions.

They're not the best at that.

People in a position of power don't have the luxury of letting their tempers show in public. They should know better.

I think it's important to remember that even those in power have feelings.

Feelings, yes. Which are best expressed alone or with a trusted friend. Not to complete strangers.
