This morning, the Adventurers may notice the food altar is already empty. Hm. Food seems to disappear quickly as of late. Hope you don't mind waiting a bit longer for breakfast.

At midday, the food altar magically fills up with the usual abundance. Berries and nuts appear in the stone bowl, neither quantity nor quality affected by the weather.

Bright eyes watch from nearby. Furry faces move closer. Wingbeats sound overhead.

It seems that with the winter food shortage, the forest’s other inhabitants have forgotten the events of the summer and are turning bold in their thieving.

Question is: what are the Adventurers going to do about it?

Today, the mist turns clear rather than hazy as something beautiful and pure moves through the forest. A horse-like white creature with cloven hooves and a lion's tail walk to the clearing by the tree, shyly peeking out from the dense foliage before coming out into the open.

Her blue eyes radiate kindness and innocence as her white fur glow in the sunlight, and she leans her head down by the stream to drink.

[Agitha had been feeling a tad under the weather lately, and she had noticed that she wasn't the only one. Fortunately, if there was one thing she was sure of, it was that a nice cup of tea would do wonders to cure one's ills. Being such a good neighbor, she, with the help of a firefly, prepared a large pot of hot tea with some honey and ginger. Taking every cup she could scrounge in her house, she started going door to door, being as cheerful as possible, of course!]

Good morning! I made some tea for everyone! Would you like some?

| characters | Open to all!

| date/time | Friday, July 31

[Arno has had an eventful few weeks. When others ventured out, Arno stayed put. Why? Well, for one, he wanted to see how the tree faired and keep a close eye on home base. Someone had to.

Other reason? Well, let's just say someone went under and Arno just couldn't bring himself to leave.

Call it reflex, or not. Arno couldn't find it in himself to abandon anyone he cared about. This made communication with him not "rare" per say, but he wasn't around much.

It was especially harder when Steven suddenly vanished. But he had a feeling on that one, that he was fine. But as a former roommate and...yeah, a friend, he felt like he had another duty to uphold.]

In case anyone hadn't noticed, Steven's gone. I think like others in the past, though, I'm certain the boy is fine.

Just wanted to say, I know he left quite a mark on a few people.

Hello, everyone! You'll never guess what I've found!

[She doesn't give anyone time to guess, as the view from the amber immediately wheels around to face the mist. Or, more specifically, the ground near the mist, where some gnarled roots have broken through.]

It's ginger! I'm sure of it! It smells so nice... I was thinking that perhaps we could make tea! It's been so long since I've had proper ginger tea. And I think I saw some honeycomb on the branch where the food is, so we can add some of that, too! I'm sure the lil' bugs will help us heat up water. Oh, it will be so lovely!

Would anyone be so kind as to help me gather some ginger? There's more than enough for everyone!

| characters | Saber and everyone who wishes to stop by the Gathering.

| date/time | April 28th; early-afternoon.

| location | Outside the tree, somewhere on the left side of the entrance.

| rating | G? PG? If anything happens that will warrant a higher rating, please send a pm so I can change this.

| summary/notes | Some of the tree dwellers congregated to take the first step toward a better organization of resources. Read these (the food portion/storeroom log will be posted later for backdating purposes). The log starter is just short and generic; I will be making threads to make this more organized, your characters can start a new topic in each the thread categories, please don't forget the subject if you do such as: "DISCUSSION TOPIC - HEALTH", for example. This way, anyone with characters interested in it can join in and share their views.
