-In the dead of night, those living on the western end of town can hear a great comotion in the forest and a deep grumbling. Looking out in that direction, cast in moonlight, anyone can clearly see that a particularly tall tree has suddenly sprouted up in the middle of the forest. What on earth could have caused this?-

Bother... -comes the familiar voice.-

I don't suppose anyone is willing to help me down from here, hmm? I'm a terrible climber.

The Welcome Center can't really handle a crowd like this...

Oh bother.

Well... I really didn't even need to debate it.

Harmonia will prosper with or without me. My duties here, however...

I'm staying.

Well, it's that time again! New Feathers are going to be flowing in, and the winter shall be greeting them!

So let's plan an appropriate event at the Welcoming Center for all this cold, eh? Any ideas?

-There's a large bonfire going on in a clearing Sasarai has made near the New Feather Integration and Welcome Center. It's burning quite nicely and provides a lot of warmth from the growing chill in the air. There's all sorts of food set up, most notable things to make franks and smores (he did his research at the library).-

Alright everyone, who shall start, hmm?

Well, seeing as the New Feather Cycle is well at an end, it's time we at the New Feather Integration and Welcoming Center had ourselves another get together for our newest residents! Now, I already discussed this with Martel, and I think you may quite like this idea!

When the weather clears up, we're going to have ourselves a bonfire with food, drink, perhaps a bit of music, but more importantly.... Storytelling.

That's right. Storytelling.

Each and every new feather, and perhaps a few members of the Center Staff, are going to share a story from their respective worlds. There is no limit on these tales, though I do ask you exercise good judgment around those with more delicate sensibilities. How does that sound to everyone?

[[ Odds are this event will go up Thursday Evening according to the planning Martel-mun and I have done. Basically, it will run exactly as Sasarai said it would. In a post (either in Sasarai or Martel's journal), any new feather is welcome to comment with their character telling a story, and other characters are welcome to thread from there, and then another new feather will post a story in another comment and a thread will form from there and so on and so forth. If you have any questions, feel free to IM me at gonsai fong ]]

Hmm... their appears to be some sort of incident happening in the southern end of town. Does anyone have a report on that?

The New Feather cycle is almost over. I'd like, if I may, to get some feedback on the New Feather Integration Center. How do you feel you were treated? How were the accomidations? The food? This is all highly important to providing better service for all of you.

Ah, you can almost feel the tingle, can't you? Soon the New Feathers will start trickling... or flooding... in and it will be BUSY BUSY BUSY for us at the Center. But it's exciting, no? I can hardly wait.

By the way, Luc, I do believe there is a stain on my hat. I don't know how it got there, so I'm assuming you somehow are the cause of this. I took care of YOUR clothes during the event, I would have liked the same courtesy.

... and if it wasn't you, then could you be a help and clean it anyways? I am otherwise occupied, after all.

Now THAT nonsense is over with...

Attention New Feathers!!

The settlement's Welcome Center will be holding a potluck dinner and part this Sunday...ahem, MONDAY at four-thirty in the afternoon! There will be all sorts of food, mingling, drinks, and perhaps even a few other forms of merriment making! It's a wonderful means of getting to know your new friends and neighbors, so do please stop by! Those of us working at the center will be doing our utmost to ensure both entertainment AND comfort.

Hmm...

I should probably do something about those two... it looks rather dangerous.

Ah well, do mind the sky, everyone. There's a certain brand of hail in the works, it seems...

[[ Because only Sasarai could passively joke about wizard dueling 8\ ]]

Hmm... the rose garden by the house finally perished...

Anyways, I believe introductions are in order, as for many of you, I am as new as this world. It has been some time for me, after all.

I am Bishop General Sasarai of Holy Harmonia. While I hold no official position here in Luceti, I put forth efforts to ensure the betterment of our living situation here for all. So, New Feathers, do feel free to approach me should anything be needed. I live with my twin brother Luc in House 41, located on the road just before the homes of Sir Silverberg and Sir Strife, respectively. It's a rather LARGE home, so I doubt you could miss it. There also seems to be someone rather eccentric living next door... but that's no matter.

Well, I'd call that a grand final send off to True Earth's power...

Luceti, I have returned. Though really, I'd like to rest if that's quite alright with all of you.

It's time...


....and he's gone...

You know what I haven't had in some time?

Iced cream. And it happens to be on the list! Won't someone be a dear and fetch me some?

Hmm... Not much time left.

I should start making a list.

My... there certainly is a lot of comotion going on right now. Part of me wishes I was well enough to leave my bed to see it.

Hmm... there's a songbird just outside the window. I suppose my hearing hasn't quite gone yet. I wonder how long...

Ah, such a silly thing to think about.

Erm, not to be a bother or anything, but would anyone mind keeping me company? Besides Franz of course, ha ha... I just grow a bit listless, and haven't much to do in this bed.
