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????

Yep, yep!
That was why I thought maybe we should have a way to refer to ourselves, and organise things like places to live...
But that's about as far as my ideas go. 😅

That's what I heard some people say!
I was surprised because I hadn't really considered that at all? I had pretty much already accepted that I must have died.

[declass]

I've just been staying at a hotel...
But I should probably try to find an actual place.

I feel like there's probably as much of a chance of us being dead as there is one of us not be.
Either way, finding out as much information on our current situation is for the best.
It's just that depending on what exactly is the truth, the way we should proceed further may be different.

[appeale]

See? That's why we should fix up some of the empty houses, so everyone has somewhere to stay!
The one I'm in isn't anything special, but you're welcome there so that you don't have to spend your coin, signorina.

It would be nice if the Hierarchy would speak to us. :/

[declass]

Oh, that's nice of you to offer.
I wouldn't want to get in the way.

It's really rude of them to ignore us, isn't it?

[appeale]

You wouldn't be in the way! It's really just a place to sleep.
But it's your choice, of course.

I know!! 😤 Of course I understand that a monarchy must be busy, but they ought to at least make an appearance to their citizens...

[declass]

I will consider it.
You really are too kind.

A monarchy's duty is to its citizens. It would not exist without them.
But that is not how things are usually seen from the yes of those in power.

[appeale]

[ ... ugh, this is awkward. how should she present herself here... it's not like she can pretend to be opposed or even indifferent to a monarchy; it wouldn't make sense for "Rudbeckia de Borgia." but she doesn't want to make herself a passionate defender of them, either... ]

Ah
Is that what people think of us? :(
I understand why, though... And those in charge here definitely aren't doing their duty to the people.

[ playing the naive idiot is best as always, right?? ]

[declass]

I am sure it is what many do.
But it also depends on where you are from, I believe.
There was no monarchy in my country, but it was primarily ruled by a rich elite that was universally hated by those not in.
Although if you are kind and treat citizens fairly, this is probably not an issue.
It's just that not everyone does.

[appeale]

[ >kind and treat citizens fairly... hahaha... yeah right ]

That sounds like things must have been really hard in your country...
I've always heard that the aristocracy has a responsibility to the people.
But, it's also true that I don't know much about how the lower classes feel. 😔 I guess it's too late to change that now...

[ she really couldn't care less about any of this!!! she's just saying whatever seems appropriate for a princess who is both kind-hearted and stupid. ]

Oh!! Also, signorina!
I'm terribly sorry to change the situation so suddenly, but I've been invited to stay with some very kind people.
So, if you'd like, you're welcome to the house I've been staying in so far!
I apologise for not being able to offer you company as well :(

[declass]

I wouldn't say it's too late to change it.
You are currently lower class.

[ you're poor now!!!!! ]

Oh, thank you for the offer.
I'm glad that people reached out to you!

[appeale]

Ahaha that's true! I suppose I am now.
But I won't ever know what the people in my time and country felt, which is a little sad.

Yes, I'm very grateful! Signora Sooyoung and Signori Joonghyuk and Dokja are always so nice to me.

[declass]

I suppose not.
Well, fretting over it now won't help you.

Are they?
They're all very interesting! I get along with them as well.
Joonghyuk doesn't seem the type to agree if you called him nice to his face though.
