Subject: S'mores! And a Request

Hello, everyone!

Since there are so many new dreamwalkers who've just arrived, I thought it might be nice to encourage everyone to get together and meet! There is a communal firepit in a clearing just outside of the residential area where I've got a fire going, and I have plenty of supplies to make "s'mores," which I only just learned about recently. (Thank you, Miss Tifa!) If you haven't had this before, please come and try it, it's delicious!

Additionally, I have a request for everyone to please keep an eye out for a few individuals... I realize that this may be in vain since their names did not appear in the directory, but just in case...

Colin
He is a tall, half-elven man with long, dark hair. He is very charismatic and funny and likely to be found busking with his lute somewhere or telling stories!

Aerie
Also tall, but fully an elf, very pretty and intelligent, also with dark hair (but not related to Colin!). She usually has three wolves with her. Extremely competent hunter!

Mellon
Also tall, also fully an elf, he usually does not wear a shirt. He loves to drink and might try to clear out any supply of alcohol... Please do not get into a tavern brawl with him.

Dae
Also tall, and also fully an elf, with white hair and red eyes. He is very good at magic and possibly would want to spar with you! Would likely have an owl familiar with him.

Cibark
Even taller and very very strong! He is a half-orc with green skin and usually wears armor and wields large weapons. He has a very dashing and heroic aura about him!

Sian
Not tall! They usually wear a cloak and a mask. Usually quiet but very sassy. They might be flying around, but they also don't usually remember that they can do that.

[ Ori why are you always surrounded by tall people ]

If at any point in the future you come across anybody who seems to fit these descriptions, please let me know!

(( ooc: Naturally open to these moving into or starting as an action thread! Come get s'mores! Or not. I can't tell you what to do. ))

Oh...

[ This... Has given her a lot to think about, but ultimately she has to remember what Thoma told her. Even if my mind does forget you one day, my heart won’t. You’re a part of it now.

And that helps. The thought of Ori being forgotten to the nebulous void of these multiple worlds and realms and whatever else is unsettling, even despite the fact that she would have been happy to have been forgotten, not all that long ago. ]

I guess that would be all the more reason to enjoy the time we have with everyone here in the moment, right?

[It is a lot to think about, and a lot to take in. It's something that's been on Tifa's mind nonstop in Camelot, and then again here... Having been through that loss once before, it doesn't make it any easier, even if this one has a happier ending. So far.]

The experience is different for everyone, and even if people forget, that's all the more reason to try a little harder now, right?

[That's what she did. Is doing.]

That's why I think it's a good idea to have these sorts of gatherings. Little breaths of fresh air in between all the other stuff going on. Sit back and get to know all the people we're here with, learn about them and where they come from. That's been my favourite part so far.

[ It takes Ori a moment to respond, to really let what Tifa says sit in her head for a bit. She's right, and as are the others who have reminded her to live in the now - even before she became someone who was caught up in the whims of dream realms and whatnot, the friends that she'd spoken of in her posting would often tell her not to worry about the past or the future, or else she'll miss the present.

In the end, she comes away from that introspection believing one thing unquestionably: ]

You're a very strong person, Tifa.

I'll do my best to help make sure the next gathering is going to be just as memorable! I haven't forgotten about the potluck idea, after all. And karaoke.

[It's sweet of her to say, and Tifa would like to believe that one-hundred percent, and while she may not, hearing it come from someone else does mean a lot to her.]

And don't forget about that trek through the mountains either. I still wanna see if we can find fresh bananas for those fireside treats!

Of course! It feels like it's been so long since I went hiking in mountains, so I'm really looking forward to that, too.

I hope we find lots of yummy things to bring back, but I know it's going to be a wonderful time because I'll be with you, Tifa!
