Couple of things!

I just want to let everyone know that the Welcome Center will be officially reopening next week. I really appreciate everyone who's pitched in to get it back in order. I'd like to run it with volunteers like we did before, so if you're interested in a few hours a week, let me know. It's not hard to do, but it makes a big difference for someone when they have no idea where they are and how they got here.

Can anyone fix these weird symbols on the consoles? I feel like I've broken something, but I can't get them to go away.

Last, has anyone had a chance to talk to those ambassadors yet?

PS. This weather is not my fault, I swear!

[ Jack merely assumes this is someone who's more comfortable communicating in text rather than a belief hold up. Truthfully, he's been getting pretty spoiled for the last several months, with so few new people arriving, and so not going through this as often. ]

Yeah, we've just finished the rebuild. You're new? My name's Jack, I can try and help with any questions you have. What's your name?

Also because last time the city was dumped on with snow, it was me.

[He's actually almost spot on as to the reason behind text communication, at least. And the response in text means she isn't going to ask about it anytime soon - there's not really any particular need to.]

Wow, that's a lot of snow to just... make.

[She's trying to imagine all of The World that Never Was covered in snow. She doesn't think she could make that much ice herself.]

Oh and... my name's Xion. I guess I'm still confused about some things. Like why are we here? And... why can't we leave?

[She's worried about what's going on back home. She's used to being able to come and go... anywhere really, as she pleases. Now she's trapped.]

Snow is kind of my thing, so it wasn't that big of a deal. But this stuff is 100% natural!

Nice to meet you, Xion. I'll try to answer them as best I can, okay? As for being here, it's a little complicated. Just over a year ago, there was kind of a Big Bad here called Malicant, and the Emperor who used to rule here brought people from other worlds with magic, to help fight Malicant. After he was defeated, something happened that caused the Life and Dreaming planes to stick together, and people are still arriving.

With me so far?

[There's a bit of a pause as she tries to digest all that. So.. a little like the memories she had? At least it reminded her of them a bit. Not the Emperor part or anything, but fighting someone, who wanted to hurt people that she (he?) cared about...

I don't

I'm not sure. I mean, what do those planes have to do with us? The people who are coming now?

Re: text;

[wintershepherd]

As best as we can figure, people are arriving on leftover instructions because of what happened to the planes. Since there's no NEED to bring new people here, but it happens anyway.

[needmetoo]

Oh...

And I guess there's no instructions on how to let us go back, is there?

[It would explains why they're stuck here.]

Re: text;

[wintershepherd]

If only it were that easy.

But some of us chose to stay here.

[needmetoo]

[Huh... So... that meant there had been a way, once. But not anymore.]

Did you?

Re: text;

[wintershepherd]

Yeah I did.

I've met some people here who I wasn't ready to leave.
