Hey everyone. The Welcome Center is coming along pretty well, and we've got all the structural things put back to rights. I still need to talk to the Metalworkers and ask what it'll take to get a couple consoles put in there.

The people who have arrived since we all got out of the Dreaming seem like they're being dropped all over. If you were one of them, can you reply and let me know where in the city -- or outside of it? -- you showed up? Just in case there's a pattern.

Has anyone had luck getting the kedan to hire them?

I helped a young woman who appeared in a small forest a short walk from Keeliai. A friend of mine had to walk a few hours to reach the city. If there's a pattern, I'd love to know what it is.

Which direction from the city was the forest? I can see if I spot anything from the air.

And what's your friend's name, I can see if they have any more information.

I didn't ask, but there aren't very many areas near Keeliai with dense enough foliage to be considered a forest.

[Pity this is text, or you'd be able to see him backtrack. You know, aside from the lack of a face.]

Friend is too strong of a word. She's more of an acquaintance. Her name is China Sorrows.

That's true. I'll check that out later this afternoon.

Oh, she's from your world? Great, that'll help a lot. I'll let her know that you pointed me in her direction, so she doesn't think I'm stalking her or something.

[That's... really not what he meant at all. Thank you, Jack. Thank you ever so.]

Careful. You'll fall in love with her the first time you see her.

I'm actually taken on that front, but thanks.

[The spirit's in for a rude awakening, but maybe a prior attachment will help Jack fight China's influence. Who knows? In lieu of a second warning which will likely be just as disregarded, Skulduggery simply turns off the console.]

[sonjaofyellowcomet]

...is this interrupting?

I woke up in a glade outside the limits as well. I actually thought Skulduggery was talking about me at first. You met someone else out there too?

[skeletonenigma]

I did. I was talking about both of you.

[He didn't exactly meet China outside of the city, but making that distinction would just be splitting hairs.]

[This was kind of weird. Was she on chat-on-the-internet friendship terms with Skulduggery yet? She already regretted replying before those boundaries had been unambiguously set]

Ah, right, each of those sentences were referring to two different subjects. That makes sense.

[Stop babbling, Sonja]

I moved past a farm and we entered the Wood Sector when we got to the city...
