ǣfenglōm (main comm)

[This isn't something that you can hear on the Watches; this can be heard on the radio too, in the early morning, far too cheerful. (If you're wondering if she had gotten coffee, the answer is yes.]

Good morning Aefenglom!

This is your new host Undertown, coming at you live with an advice show, An Undertaking with Undertown! Who knows, the name may change, but we will see!

Anyway, let's go to the important part: what this is all about. Depending on the day and the popularity, we will be taking in questions via letters and Watches, and anonymous is always allowed.

Just try not to send too many hate mails, because I might cry!

Oh- before we get onto the subject for the day, I've been reminded that I will be taking co hosts on a monthly basis, maybe more, so we can talk about all sorts of things.

And what we're talking about today is...recovery. Which is a rather serious subject matter. I'm not going to say that I understand completely what everyone is going through. Because I don't. Everyone has their own process.

I will say that it is all right to feel angry - and it's all right to feel sad - and it's all right to cry. People were hurt, homes have been damaged, and businesses too.

Now, if anyone wants to send in a letter by post, by the Watches via text or by voice, I'll be taking in calls for the next hour.

I hope I'll be hearing from you soon.

[OOC: she will be responding via voice and text! Or if you want it delayed, she can respond to letters sent in to the studio proper]

Name: Sokie Undertown
Date: Septeril 1st
Format: Video


[The video starts off with a woman sitting on the couch-or rather sprawled over it, holding up the Watch to her face level. Her expression, while it's usually amused and laid back, is a little grim. It seems she's seen the message that the Coven leaders have posted, and she's following through with her own response as to not clog up the feed.]

My name is Sokie, and I happen to be one of the new witches around here. And while I could go on and on, I'm just going to get into the heart of the matter. It's about the diplomatic and not so diplomatic mission.

Some of us should stay behind.

[Briefly, she holds up a hand.]

Hear me out. This isn't because of anything lacking, it's not to make it easier on the Dorries. It's more...we're going to be on their territory, far away from our own base. Whatever way we go in, they're going to have the advantage of the place, even with the resistance in their midst.

It may be possible that we'll somehow have our Watches not work in the city, for some, utterly mysterious reason.

[Her eyes widen, exaggerated, about the "mysterious" thing. Mystery her eye.]

It may not be a terrible idea for those of us to bond, and have one half stay behind. I know this is a crappy choice, and I know that it's terrible to be the one to be left behind. I'm planning on going myself, mostly to play the voice of compromise.

But if we're captured, if we're cut off from all communication, those remaining in the city need to know. We need each other, and I for one want to make sure that if they plan to screw us over, we can screw them right back.

[She brings up a hand in a salute]

Anyway. Sokie, out.
