Hey folks,

Is anyone else seeing what I'm seeing? I can't find a trace of any NPC. I've been checking all over, and there's just nothing, like they vanished on the breeze. Even the routine that sometimes happens, where objects still move though there's no body to hold them, none of that's happening. None that I can tell.

The Hex Diner's completely barren. We've got to fix this. Lots of folks go to that diner. Either because they don't have the time or ability to cook for themselves, or just out of convenience, and everyone deserves to stay fed. It'd be an awful thing to just let that place stay that way.

I'm gonna turn it into a soup kitchen, or at least I'm gonna try; a place where anyone can come for a hot meal. Free to take. But I need you folks to lend your hands and volunteer, 'cause a community service needs the community to run it. Those who come to work can eat what's cooked too, and anything that can't be kept the next day will be free for anybody to take.

It's a lot of hands that this will take. Not just cooks, but those to serve as well, and those to clean and organize and everything else a place like this needs. Whatever tasks the Diner meted out is likely something we'll need too.

Come down to the diner and say hi. I've already gotten started.

that's very nice of you
i'm in the hospital, holding the fort
the NPCs aren't here either but just in case something happens at least someone's around

[ Though she might need to do the same and call for volunteers. ]

That’s wonderful work you’re doing. Just as you said, it’s good to know someone’s there if anything happens. Thank you.

If there is an accident that the hospital is understaffed for, I might send some of my volunteers, if we can spare.

i can't sleep so
might as well 🙃

but thank you, i appreciate it
i did also take a page from you and put up a call for volunteers
hopefully this city doesn't dissolve into chaos
especially since we're stuck here lol

I feel like we've made pretty good steps towards avoiding that so far. There's hope.

If I find a free moment, does coffee and donuts sound okay?

well svelte has an order of knights if you recall 🙃
they can help keep the peace if it comes to that

coffee and donuts sound wonderful, thank you
but i'll save you the trouble and just drop by after my shift

If that's what you'd prefer. Just let me know when you do; I'll have them waiting for you here.

I'm not the best waitress, but I can try to serve. And I was delivering for them before the NPCs disappeared.

We need all the hands we can get. Thank you.

you're welcome! i'll be right over

I have little experience in cooking or serving, but I am willing to learn, if you need help? The hospital is empty and I would like to occupy myself.

We would love to have you, Miss. Come on down to the Diner; we'll show you the ropes.

My name is Jeyne.

I am still learning my way around the city, so I may be a little late even with no npcs. I tend to get lost...

[Oh, this is--

Oh. Oh. He feels very strange and a little sad, all of a sudden.]

The city tends to shift, so it's not all your fault if you get lost, Miss Jeyne. Today we're a few blocks east from the Qubit House. If you end up there before you end up at the Diner, just find the front entrance and go left for a while.

[She had heard of Orpheus, but still wasn't aware that this was him. Robb had left her with the names of his friends, those she could trust and Orpheus was among them.]

Oh is that why? Much of this place is so strange, I didn't know it could move on its own as well. I thought I was simply slow on understanding this place.

I fear my upbringing did not prepare me for this world.

No, and it wouldn’t have had to, either. I don’t think there’s any number among us here that were prepared to be thrown into a place as... impermanent as this. I’m still not used to it.

We’ll see you soon. Thanks for joining us, Miss, it really means a lot.

Of course. Who should I ask for when I arrive?

You can ask for me, Orpheus. Or for Coda, or CT. They're two of the volunteers operating on the organization side of things. They can tell you where we need extra hands.

Oh! You are-

Robb told me of you.

I am he, yes. We were friends.

[More than friends, even if he hadn't gotten to know him for very long. Brothers-in-arms, maybe. Something like that.]

Robb told me of you as well, spoke of your graciousness and beauty. Though I hadn't known he gave you my name. One way or another, you have a friend in me, and if it's ever my company or my help that you need, I'll be there.

Edited 2021-05-17 17:51 (UTC)

Did he truly?

[Given her nerves regarding Robb's feelings and whether or not she was truly to blame for his downfall, it was gratifying to know that his love for her hadn't changed. It was something to hold, even if he was gone. She didn't have such closure in her world and no way to ever know.]

He did. He said specifically you were a man I could trust and go to if I needed to. This is a relief, truly. I want to work, to do something to keep my mind from sadness. Something like this would help a great deal. I fear I have a great deal to learn about working with my hands.

I would be honored to help you with this endeavor, Ser.

I have some experience with serving and-

Some with organizing charity projects, as well.

And we would be honored to have you, Miss. Whatever you can provide, we could always use more of--especially those who can organize. So far we've only got Coda, CT, and a little bit myself on that front.

Please, call me Margaery.

And I don't mind at all. It is very honorable, what you're doing.

Oh! I would like to help! I know a little bit about cooking, but I've also been a server before. I can also clean things, too! If you need food delivered to people I can also deliver things. I just ask for an address because there isn't really anyone else around to ask.

Perfect! Come on down. I'll see where we need extra hands and we can get to work from there.

Thank you! Should I bring the rubber gloves I have that are my size for the cleaning?

Sure; if you don't need them, we can always just hang onto them somewhere, but bringing your own supplies is definitely a help.

I'll be happy to lend them for now! I will probably need them again later, but this is more important!
