The Network: May, An Inauspicious Arrival

The Watches Everyone who arrives in an unorthodox way and eventually shows up at the Coven for 'orientation', will receive a strange, watch-like device compliments of the Coven and Parliament. Miss Nessie or one of the welcome wagon crew will give characters a run-down of how to use the various functions and they are encouraged to test them out for themselves. It would be good for them to get in touch with their fellow Mirrorbound, of course! Fourth wall characters will not be able to make their own posts in the communities, so they may use this post to make "network posts" of their own by top-leveling. The log post is right over here.

[He's trying to figure out how to activate voice chat, wait a second.]

-nah? Yonah? Yonah, can you hear me?!

[bookofyonah]

[ Is that a really long weird word? You never taught her to read that... ]

Dad! Yaaaay, it's Dad!

[ YOU ARE MY DAD BOOGIE WOOGIE But yes, this confirms that she can hear him loud and clear. ]

Uh-huh, I can hear you. Where are you?

[okayestdad]

Yonah.

[Please ignore the fact Dad sounds like he's close to tears. It's been years since he heard her voice, and now this strange device is letting him talk to her? Oh, right. Where is he. They said some crap in the orientation thing. But honestly, he figures this is another quest to get another word and so on.]

Where I am doesn't matter right now. Where are you, Yonah? Are you safe? Is the Shadowlord there? It's gonna be okay, Yonah. I'll be there soon.

[bookofyonah]

Shadowlord?

[ Wow, she's doing a better job keeping it together more than he is. Guess what, Dad. She's from before she gets kidnapped. It hasn't been years for her yet. She sounds cheerful as ever, despite her sickness. Nonetheless, she still wants to see him. ]

I'm fine. I want to see you real soon! I'm not sure where I am... but there's some shops over here selling a whole bunch of stuff! I thought this was just one of my weird dreams again...

[okayestdad]

[Maybe he wiped her memory or something like that?]

Never mind that. I'll be there as soon as I can. Can you describe the shops, Yonah?

[bookofyonah]

Uh... a bunch of the shops here are selling these potions for all sorts of things. Hey, Dad? Maybe they have something for my sickness here.

[ Then you can stop working so hard and stay with her longer. ]

[okayestdad]

[He smiles, his voice lighter.]

We can look together once I'm there. Just wait, okay? And stay safe. Can you do that for me, Yonah?

[bookofyonah]

Yes, Dad. I'll be waiting right here.

[ Wherever that is, in the markets. She'll be a good girl and stay in one spot for him. ]
