[ On pops the feed, showing one smiling and somewhat eager, Ariadne. And as always, she has been thinking (a lot) and has a few things she would like to talk about with everyone.

So… please enjoy? ]

I know that some of you are already aware of this fact – but, back home in Paris, I'm an Architect. [ a damn good one in her opinion, which, yes, only seems to cause a smug smile to start to tug at the corner of her mouth. ] And, well… given the apparent state of the Turtle as of late. I’m willing to have a look at any structural elements you might be concerned with.

[ a shrug of her shoulder and she is adding: ] There is nothing of major concern right now that I'm seeing. But… there have been a few things that have caught my attention. So just let me know if you would like to have me or even my friend from home look at anything for you.

[ a long beat and she is moving on to her next topic. ]

Also, Stephanie mentioned something to me, about a few of us trying to start a Foreigner ran Committee a while back. [ and this is where her expression turns a bit more eager (she really likes this idea, okay?) ] I really like this idea, and I'm hoping that we can maybe get the ball rolling on it?

After all, it might be a good way for us all to work together, and perhaps hopefully ensure that our voices are heard.

[ because lets face it, half of the "foreigners" aren't exactly use to living under a ruler and want to make sure their voices are heard. ]

I think that might be it for now. [ which only has her furrowing her brow in thought (gotta make sure after all) before she is sighing and smiling faintly. ] I know this whole ration thing is going to be interesting, but if you do need help with something, don't hesitate to ask.

There have been a few cracks appearing in my building also, but nothing to the effect that you seem to be experiencing.

[ and at that, her brow furrows in thought at for a moment, silently working out her next few words. jack frost had also mentioned something like that, so the idea that the dream could slowly be collapsing was suddenly very real to her. ]

Though, I haven't heard anyone mentioning any issues in the other sectors, I can only assume that they might be experiencing something as well.

Your tree isn't dying is it?

I hope it's not. [A worried look.] The leaves have been falling everywhere in the sector, and some of the upper branches seem to be drying out. And it might be my imagination, but there's a sort of forest-floor smell about—not entirely unpleasant, but definitely new.

[ she shakes her head faintly, sighing in thought. ]

Do you think it's worth mentioning to the Emperor?

Can't hurt. Even if word is coming up through the kedan, there's no reason why we shouldn't say something too.

Maybe with whatever seems to be going on, we might actually get a bit more information too.

Surely there'll be a point where keeping us in the dark is no longer beneficial.

Though of course there's also the possibility that this is mystifying to everyone. I can't decide if that's more worrisome or less.

[ there's a long pause at that, before her brow is furrowing in thought and she sighs. ]

For some reason, I really think that there is a lot they know - all of them - which they just don't want to tell us. And I think they plan on keeping us as clueless as possible [ a beat and she is adding with a shrug ] Easier to control that way, you know?

[Dryly:] Misinformation and fear. Very popular tools for control, yes.

[ well, she can't argue with that. ]

Well... hopefully we can get something going to we have a better understanding of this place.

[ because that really might be the only way for her and the others to wake up. ]

And if I do hear anything, I will be sure to share it with you.

Likewise. A pleasure meeting you, Ariadne—I'm sure we'll meet properly in person before long.
