Hello! This is Lady Rudbeckia de Borgia. 😊 I wanted to speak to... the new Restless? Um. Those of us who have arrived recently. Actually, that was the first thing I wanted to discuss!

1) Should we have a name for ourselves??? Maybe that seems silly but everyone else here in the Netherworld is also part of the Restless, aren't they? So if I want to address "us" as a group then I can't just say the Restless... And I think we are a group! It would be nice if we all worked together.

2) What districts is everyone staying in? I was curious to know how spread out we are. I've been staying in Serene so the Oakwoods thing was really really scary for me. 😰 Does everyone have proper housing? Should we be making an effort to fix some of the empty houses??

3) Do we... have a plan????

Fixing up some empty houses is a good idea. I might lend myself out for that.

Is the place you're staying in Serene safe?

[appeale]

My place is run-down but I think it's safe?
There's a roof and a door, and I managed to get some help fixing the windows...
It's just a little scary since I've never lived on my own before. 😖

I'm not very useful for manual labour but if we get some people together to fix up houses I'll help however I can!!
I'd like to know that everyone has somewhere to stay.

[mercedis]

That's okay. Maybe you can be part of the planning department. I'm terrible at that kind of thing.

If you ever get anything unsavory near your place, let me know. I'll take care of monsters, animals, or whatever else exists here for a couple coins.

[appeale]

Oh, thank you very much! I'll keep that in mind in case anything ever happens. 😊

[ she really will. it's always good to have people on hand who will work for coin, rather than having to rely on a limited resource like pity or good will. ]

I could definitely help plan! Or I might be able to negotiate with the locals for any resources we need for the repairs... I'm no merchant, but as a princess, diplomacy should be something I can handle.

[mercedis]

A princess?

( that surprises him. he doesn't know how to act around royalty. )

Just make sure you don't put yourself into any dangerous situations. There are some things diplomacy can't fix.

[ literally the last thing she intends to do is put herself in a dangerous situation........ rudbeckia "don't ever put me in a situation" de borgia. ]

Don't worry, I won't! I know there isn't much I can do to protect myself, and I don't want to cause trouble for anyone, so I try my best to be careful.

[ it's not her fault that danger specifically seeks her out. ]

Thank you very much for your concern though!! ^^ You're really kind.

[mercedis]

Just looking out. Figured that's the best I can do in this place.

Anyway, you know my...handle, or whatever. If you need help, like I said, I'll make it cheap for you.
