but your heart is made of steel It wasn’t the first time she’d called them all here. Nor would it be the last, she imagines. But there was much to discuss – Deepfrost quickly approaching and the decision of whether to try and evacuate most of the Grounds to Halo before the portal was closed. So she sends out a letter to those of her cabinet, especially after recent events. It’s smaller than it was before, and she wonders what her group would like to do about the healer section – if they should indeed reach out to Evie… Or what.

We're lost in the space between who we are and all that we're trying to be The pending season, one of potential devastation and ruin, brought forth ideas, ruminations, and calculations required by their government positions. Already his mind had schemes reeling from prior years, circumstances, and experiences in discussions with Safrin. There were a number of tangible threads, possibilities, and seams they needed to navigate, and it was likely better to apply them sooner rather than later; thoughts of how to prepare looming. DEIMOS

Jigano arrived with Isuma on his shoulder and a small bag under his arm, distracted and thoughtful as he ducked in the door and gave Rex and Deimos polite nods. Seeing the pair speaking quietly he gave them their space, putting over to pour himself a cup of tea and put together a plate of snacks for himself and the gryphon before taking a seat a little ways away, assuming Amalia would want to sit by Deimos and Sam might be more comfortable beside Rex. Until the siblings - that still was strange to think - arrived there wasn't much reason to begin laying out business, so he just fed Isuma tidbits and looked over to Rexanna, realizing just how long it had been since he'd seen his friend outside of official business in recent seasons. He was hesitant to interrupt whatever was passing between her and the General, though, and so for the moment he stayed quiet.

I want roses set on fire
And I, well I want what’s best for me Given that the last community meeting he'd attended had ended in a horrible feeling in the pit of his stomach, Sam was not thrilled to attend this council discussion; would he be attacked for daring to speak his mind again? Would he feel stupid again for hours after, repeating over and over to himself what he could have said better, who he should have approached different?
Maybe he would, but he couldn't shrug off his duty to the people of Sanctuary. With a brave face, he'd set out to meet the council. At least the Artist's Sanctuary was a pleasant enough place to meet and seeing Rexanna had set out tea and snacks for them all, he relaxed enough to smile at the members already there and sit, reaching to pour himself a cup, more for something to hold than anything else. And I, I think I know just what that means

but your heart is made of steel They all filter in, and she smiles brightly to all of them through her exhaustion. Deimos’ answer receives a nod and a smile that seems to suggest they’ll talk later about that particular bit of information, before she focuses on the rest of them as they arrive. Brows lift at the scones Amalia brings, pleased to have them even if Amalia sets them off to the side — she makes room to set them in the middle for everyone else. “Thanks for coming today.” She offers, gaze lifting to all of those around. “Phoebe has moved to Torchline and stepped down from her position. She’s suggested Evie as her replacement, from the voting that had occurred.” Her gaze immediately goes to Sam with this information, understanding that Sam is her brother. As for the rest of it? “Deepfrost is approaching and we need to work on what we plan on doing. I’ve met with Neron and he’s offered to take refuges from the Grounds in the condition they arrive before Deepfrost hits and as long as they bring the supplies they need. So we will need to make it aware and available for people to arrive.” Her gaze flickers to Amalia, Jigano, and Samuel with that. And then she leans back, picking up a glass of tea to sip from despite not tasting it. “As for Deepfrost prep, ideas on where we could stay for LongNight this year? What we should prep?” Her gaze flits to Deimos with that question specifically. REXANNA the Resurrected Sword

We're lost in the space between who we are and all that we're trying to be A nod in Rexanna’s direction at the silent insinuations there as everyone else filed in – a discussion for later. He gave bobs of his head in greeting to the others as well, a smile for Amalia, though noticing one is missing – and there comes the Penumbra’s announcement. Phoebe, gone to Torchline for whatever particular reason, the potential for Evie to step up into the role. “If Evie still wants the position, then I agree.” His eyes went to the Shield briefly, she’d likely know more than the rest.

She carried her prey back to Jigano who rewarded her with scritches and a few nibbles of the treat before he had a bite himself, enjoying Amalia's baking and the warmth it always seemed to bring. Rex's words weren't entirely a surprise after the Notice Board, but Jigano nodded with a faint frown as it became official. He was curious to find she had left for Torchline, his smile turning a tad crooked. "It seems many of the Northhaveners who arrived here first are migrating away from the Grounds," he noted quietly. Those that had survived this long, at least. Not unlike the Voice seemed to be pushing the Ascended to do, really... an interesting thought, but one for later. He tilted his head in acknoweldgement of Neron's generosity, but talk of Deepfrost bled the humor from his expression and turned him somber. "I agree with Deimos," he said with a nod to the General's suggestion. "They've a lecture hall for quiet gathering and classrooms for those that want more privacy. We should be able to make meals to feed everyone with almost as easily as we would in one of the bars... though on that note, there is also the VlamVloed if Sunjata is willing." Given the Flood now lived in Torchline, he wasn't sure who was in charge of the bar now. His brow went up to hear that Deimos had spoken with Safrin, but the bard nodded slow agreement. "That was Ludo's suggestion, as well," he added as a quiet afternote. "Prepare, dig in..." He hesitated, then gave the General a slight smile as he remembered their previous conversation. "We should build the SparkBird's perch again, but this year we should try and have more offerings. With the elemental storms still raging I don't think she's gone too far, and she might come back if we make her welcome. Her light would add a great deal of safety to the Sanctuary if we can coax her back."

I want roses set on fire
And I, well I want what’s best for me Sam gave Isuma a brief stroke before he settled in to listen to Rexanna, holding the tea close to his face for the comfort of feeling the warm steam on his skin: something he'd greatly missed when he hadn't been able to sense things as well. Listening to their Queen speak he was surprised to hear Evie's name, but nodded at the idea when Rexanna looked over: maybe it would do his sister good, to be in an important position. He'd been troubled by her self-hate around her Abandoned nature.
The plan to migrate to Halo was a good one, would save lives (something he was relieved with, given current Ascended discourse): though he knew some would be too stubborn to go. "As Natural adviser I will be sure to let as many people know as I can they have the choice, but some, especially those that live on the Outskirts, are set in their ways and won't want to leave their homes. I think..." He swallowed, anxious to say this, but knowing he needed to. "...I should stay here, for the Naturals that will refuse to go." As for all preparations he just nodded along, agreeing that they were all good measures. And I, I think I know just what that means

but your heart is made of steel Samuel’s nod to the mention of Evie has a softer smile crossing over her face, and when she turns to look at Amalia again, it still remains soft even despite the mention of Zariah – even if her hand clutches the cup of tea a bit tighter. “Please do.” She agrees quietly, until the conversation shifts on and she focuses on the task of where they could find refuge for the upcoming LongNight. “It won’t be easy, and many will stay behind. Unfortunately… I have to remain here as well. Is there anyone that might be willing to go to Halo and Torchline in our steads?” She asks, glancing around the group – wondering if Jigano also had a reason to stay or if they all must remain. She takes a deep inhale that she doesn’t need, fingers relaxing around the cup as she looks around to her council once more. “I’ll make a notice on the Notice Board with the dates to have gathered and left by – and we can find someone suitable to go with each group?” She asks, cocking her head slightly. “As for the College, it is close enough to the Temple? Should have enough space for a large herd of Luxere… I think perhaps we should all remain in one space unlike last year.” Her gaze flickers to the rest of them with that. She opens her mouth to begin to speak about the collecting of snowmoss and the ability to start working on fortifications when the door opens, a young boy darts in with a letter in hand. Her brows lift, but she stands to take the letter from him, offering him a soft smile and a nod, a quick thank you before she settles and opens it, scanning the letter briefly as her brows furrow together. “This is from Wessex.” She begins, unfolding it a bit more. “Addressed to us. She found a man in the Settlement that seems to be from elsewhere – not an Outlander, not Halo, not Torchline. Mentioned… Snows would be coming soon?” She cocks an eyebrow to that and hands the letter around. “I suppose this means we should get started as soon as possible, yes?” Better to be overprepared than underprepared. Either the man would be correct… Or he wouldn’t. To the Council - link to the letter from Wessex. REXANNA the Sage

A flicker of a look towards Rexanna to see how she was taking it - of those gathered, only Sam had been left largely untouched by Zariah's grab for power - but seeing their Queen composed he simply nodded at the decision to have Amalia approach the apothecary. He was far more surprised to hear Amalia suggesting he go elsewhere, a pulse of confused questioning slipping through the Attuned bond. "I can't leave," he reminded her quietly. "My oath to Ludo and my duty to the souls of our fallen Grounders remains unchanged." A promise she knew about, that had been made long before her words to Ronin. He looked back to Rex with a solemn expression. "I will not ask any door to be opened for me, however, wherever you chose to stay. I will not risk others for my task... but neither will I abandon it. I gave my word on this before travel between the regions was open and I would not forswear myself to a god any less than I would to you." He hoped Rex would understand, and that Amalia would as well. The interruption of the messenger brought a flicker of exasperation from the bard, somehow unsurprised to hear Wessex's name attached. "There are other regions," he said thoughtfully. "I suppose others could have items or magic that allow them to teleport between places, as we've seen in those here." Wessex being the primary example. "The Climb, or the Capitol City to the south. I had brought some information to share on those today," he added, patting the bag he'd brought with its burden of books and notes. "It seems unlikely that a human would be from the dragon mountains or that wasteland Sam once mentioned," he finished with a nod to the bookmaker.

And I, well I want what’s best for me It seemed they were all stuck with reasons to keep them in the Grounds. Sam sighed, tried to consider if he could rescind his: it had been self-imposed, even if it were important. With enough of the council here to care for the Naturals, he supposed... "If we must find people to go to the other regions with our citizens, I will accompany the Naturals going to Halo or Torchline instead: whichever is easiest."
The matter of the mystery man was interesting and Sam listened though didn't have much to say: he had no idea where the fellow could be from nor how credible his claim about the snow was. Waiting to find out where he might be positioned for Longnight, he only drank his tea and paid attention to the ongoing discussion. And I, I think I know just what that means

Years of experience for Naturals meant they stayed behind because they knew how to do handle themselves, the two other seasons of Outlanders stomping within meant they wanted to try and alter something so it went off better than the years prior, less death, less destruction. Deimos had once again immersed himself right into the same quandary, and as they went back and forth over who would stay, who would go, he sighed, miring and mulling over a series of possibilities. Samuel volunteered himself for Torchline, but Halo remained up in the air. “If we can discuss things with Evie, she would likely be the most capable for Halo.” She’d already been there after all, was more familiar, more acclimated. If they could get ahold of her via letter, or at an upcoming event, they might be better off. Otherwise, they’d have to find some other candidate. “I know Kiada is intending to go to Halo,” and his stare went straight to Rexanna, “She is not a council member, but she would be another set of eyes and strength.” The youth would likely yearn to take on such a role, prove herself, a representation of the Grounders. If the idea was dismissed, that was fine too, but it was an alternative to nothing at all. DEIMOS
