Hi everybody. My name's Sorey; I'm First Mate on the Huntress, but uh...

[He pauses. Sighs and starts over.]

A lot of people are missing. People we love. People who we don't know if they'll be back; there's a chance, definitely, a good chance, but that doesn't mean the pain and fear and the grief will go away. Sometimes, it even gets worse. The uncertainty is almost as terrible as the loss itself.

I'll be conducting memorial services in the Interfaith Center for the next week, every day at noon. Anybody is welcome to attend. It won't be anything fancy; lighting candles and burning incense, tea, reading some things from texts I've picked up along the way. If you don't want to come but you'd like me to say something for you during the service, feel free to leave it here. I'll add it to everything.


Also, if you'd like to come by just to have some quiet, or for a listening ear, I'll be here most times. There's an area where you can pray or set up altars or anything that you'd find more comfortable; we just ask that you cover up any symbols you make when you finish. If you need any help building anything, please let me know, I've got a shop area back on my ship.


Religious ties aren't necessary, either, and there's a meditation room next door if you just need some space to think. Please come by if you need anything.


.action. - Iskaulit

[Sorey can be found puttering about the Interfaith Center on most days during the current drift. He's usually in the kitchen, sometimes with Mikleo, as well as praying at the small elemental altar in a corner of the prayer chamber, separated from the lounge area by a curtain.

Sometimes he's curled up on one of the couches in the lounge with a book or a set of hand-drawn maps, frowning as he scribbles notes and erases lines.]

Oh good. [ Maglor's shoulders sag with relief ]

Nelyo has been all but sitting on me in his relief that I am awake again - I haven't been able to go and check. I don't want him to wake on his own - he'd panic, up here. But if he's still on the crew roster, I'll just have to sneak past my family to see.

Could you? Maedhros will be thinking about him too, once he's satisfied that I'm fine - so I should be able to get out to him soon, but I worry that he might wake.

I did, aye - we were both going to try one of the kareoke bars! But then... well. I slept, and I assume he did as well.

Thank you, Sorey. And I imagine he might!

Will you be alright though?

[ Maglor hesitates briefly, remembering dragon flame and grief but nods - if Sorey says he's alright, then Maglor chooses to believe him ]

Alright. Is Mikleo with you?

[ Maglor shudders and laughs ]

Please no! Fingon is doing much the same, and Nelyo is all but forcefeeding me! I'm sure the others on our crew would enjoy them, though.

[ Keith is doomed ]

He rather is, isn't he? And you could make sure Mikleo eats properly too, although I don't know if Seraphim eat the way we do, but he could also certainly use a little weight on his bones.

[there's a sudden splash of water in Sorey's direction from off-screen.

"I'm not a twig!"]
bythewaves: (laugh)

HAHAHAHAHA

[personal profile] bythewaves 2017-10-10 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ Snort. Totally not giggling, noooo ]

Ah well - we have plenty of shipmates we can feed in his steed, I am sure!
bythewaves: (Arnold grin)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2017-10-10 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ straight face straiiiiiiiight face ]

No, no - nothing important. Just observing that we have several shipmates we could feed in lieu of Mikleo.

THat's true. [ Maglor sighs softly ]

Which, in honesty, is probably one of the reasons Fingon is so intent on cooking. There are no patrols here for him to go out and ride, no dragons for him to slay to soothe the restless guilt of not being able to do more. Cooking though, he can do that.

[ Poor Sorey has very bloodthirsty crew ]

That is a good quote! And a very wise sentiment to - from both a practical standpoint as well as an emotional one.

[ Armies need to be fed, after all ]
bythewaves: (Arnold grin)

[personal profile] bythewaves 2017-10-13 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe we should start having cooking competitions - it might make more people eager to take up the Cook enhancement.
