Hello, my name is Cordelia Chevalier, for those who may not know me. I am here on behalf of the Rangers and Swords of the Savior to make a small announcement. Due to the colder-than-normal winter that we experienced last year, we will be providing warm weather gear for those travelers wishing to go outside of Union, as well as those in Union who are ill-equipped for the upcoming winter. Our hope is to also be able to branch out efforts to bring warm weather gear to those in Citadel as well.

However, we will need a few donations to make this possible, as well as volunteers to help hand out supplies both in Union as well as Citadel.

[There's something in her voice when she mentions Citadel. There are more than a few Rangers that are a bit... hesitant to go back there a second time. Something about being tared and feathered does that to you.]

In any case, our headquarters will be open to any and all who need assistance, as well as those willing and able to help. Please feel free to stop by.


[ACTION 1; open log style]

[Snow is falling, and sure enough, the Rangers HQ is abuzz with activity, people flitting about either trying to get supplies or providing supplies to other people. There is a pavilion outside providing warm drinks available to those who need them.]


[ACTION 2 (closed to Rangers & Swords); open log style]

[It's the end of a long day of volunteering and, because so many people are together, someone--either a Ranger or a Sword, it's hard to say--has decided to plan a party to celebrate the Savior, or snow, or getting inebriated (it's not clear which).

Regardless of who planned it, there are drinks and food, as well as music. Families are encouraged to attend.]

I heard about that... I saw some of it.

[It was a pain in the ass, up north. He shakes his head; he can't argue with working hard too much.]

Are you concerned we might have another incident with Citadel? I didn't hear, but it seems like first contacts can go badly. They could get snowed in, come to think.

[aerial_ace]

A bit, yes. Our initial contact was a bit difficult for both parties involved, and since we have sent a group of Rangers to follow up. Unfortunately, that ended badly.

[mistakesofyouth]

A failure in diplomacy? Or something else?

[aerial_ace]

Hard to say, but some of our men did return tarred and feathered. They refuse to talk about what happened.

[mistakesofyouth]

Gh. Then we'll have to be especially cautious in future encounters.

[aerial_ace]

You could always try asking around, to see if you can get the story of what happened. I imagine enough time has gone by that it isn't such a tender subject.

[Maybe.]

[mistakesofyouth]

Hmm. Can't hurt, and I'm curious. It doesn't hurt to know what could be a problem, in our line of work.

[He nods.]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[aerial_ace]

Of course.

[mistakesofyouth]

[He smiles, raising his hand in a short wave.]

I'll let you get back to work, then. See you tomorrow, most likely.
