[ The Divine Defense Force has its own archives of god-related rumors and history, but that's not what Haruka is currently interested in. No, Articuno had alluded to her that there's more to the new enemy forces than they'd seen in Glacier, so that has her interested in any old travel diaries or rumors of other areas of the world.

This kind of hearsay isn't easy to research in the library, but myths and urban legends sometimes are based in truth, aren't they? Haruka isn't a very in-depth researcher, but there's nothing saying she can't scan these books and wait to see whether her intuition tells her anything about their contents.

She looks just about ready to call it a day, though. Her legs are stretched out beneath the table and one foot is wiggling from side to side as she reads. Still, Haruka Tenoh does like books. Control your surprise.

Outside the library, a small blue dinosaur is waiting patiently for her new human. She's wearing a sandwich board advertising "Tickets Now On Sale!" with a dramatic painting of Takuto and Rise dressed up as Darkrai and Cresselia on it. (They're back to back and pouting.) The city is full of new smells and sights, and humans come in so many different colors! But she feels very important in her sandwich board, so those who pass her may be quietly, hopefully solicited. ] Ama?

[ The city is warm when one is used to Glacier, though. She's a little short of breath. ]

[Martin is on the Band today, looking a bit tired but happy]

We are still working, but I am very pleased to announce that as of today, the Redwall Sanctuary and Charity, located in the Residential District, can finally start accepting residents, thanks in no small part to the wonderful donations of Lenna Tycoon and the citizens of Union. I've mentioned it a few times before, but for anyone who doesn't know, Redwall has been something I've wanted to start for some time now. Thanks to volunteers and the donations, Union now has a completely non-profit organization that houses new arrivals or others in need of secure living arrangements on a temporary or possible permanent basis, offers them assistance in finding jobs in the city, and otherwise covers what temples, churches, and private citizens alone can't cover. Come spring, I hope to have a community garden started [in the background, Laterose cheers because plants] and begin hosting fundraisers to keep Redwall open.

[He is clearly so proud of this, he can't stop smiling]

It's currently being funded entirely from the donations of Ms. Tycoon and my own...retirement from the Swords-- [His Spritzee chrips and Martin sighs] --and from Noonvale's Perfumery's profits, which is now located on the Redwall grounds in what will be the flower garden. All other donations would be greatly appreciated, and while I can't promise payment any and all volunteers are welcome...as is anyone in need of a hot meal. [Thank you, Matthias]

[There's posters around town announcing the opening of Redwall today, and anyone who stops by to visit will find Martin there, working with the builders and volunteers to finish cleaning up and placing orders for seedlings in the spring. Come stop by!
