Celebrants.. of &#8230; Wonder?&#8221; he asks as he starts to see something out of the corner of his eye, glancing every so slightly. <\/p>\n<p>Jakem tips his head to Benjamin &#8220;Glad you could make it, you won&#8217;t regret it, don&#8217;t worry. Probably.&#8221; He looks to Helen and Teagan &#8220;Well? You gonna introduce yoruself?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It must be the new girl!&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Helen<\/span> says to Teagan as she claps her hands together and settles herself down onto the nearby seat. She scoots up to the table now and looks towards Benjamin, amused, &#8220;Benjamin&#8230; that doens&#8217;t sound like the new girl&#8230;&#8221; She shrugs her shoulders, &#8220;New guy, it is!&#8221; She gestures towards herself, &#8220;I&#8217;m Helen, I think we have actually met before over MyHaven.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem nods to Mercy &#8220;Welcome to the Celebrant&#8217;s 3rd annual meeting. You taking a seat or standing?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe,&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Teagan<\/span> says to Jakem. &#8220;Nice to meet you, Benjamin. I&#8217;m Teagan.&#8221; She settles back in her seat, glancing up toward the new arrival. There&#8217;s a slight lifting of brows. &#8220;Hey,&#8221; she says with a bit of an upnod to Mercy. <\/p>\n<p>Mercy strides in with a yawn, sleepy eyes taking stock of the place and some of the faces gathered within. She upnods Jakem and approaches the table, palms held up. &#8220;Jus&#8217; so we clear, ain&#8217; takin&#8217; my clothes off. This time.&#8221; A quip, surely, but her tone is so flat it&#8217;s always hard to tell. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Um&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Benjamin<\/span> says with a nod, &#8220;It would seem&#8230; ah, I prefer the name Boney&#8230; or Birdie. I don&#8217;t use my real name&#8221; he decides to go and take a seat. Afterall, curiosity got the best of him here. &#8220;Nice to meet you&#8230;&#8221; He still seems confused. &#8220;What IS the Celebrants of Wonder?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem nods to Mercy &#8220;Suit yourself, though honestly I feel you. Lola really needed to invest more in some decent fireplaces.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem clears his throat, then looks over everyone present &#8220;No Mercy huh? Eh, suppose she tends to flake. A&#8217;right, let&#8217;s get this started. So you&#8217;re all here either because you want to work to make this city as weird as possible, turning and twisting the mundane elevants in a grand celebration of the imagination&#8230; Or you heard there&#8217;d be donuts.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Helen waves towards Mercy, &#8220;This time?&#8221; She laughs softly and smiles, shaking her head, &#8220;I do not think clothing will be removed. The owl is very shy.&#8221; She gestures towards Cinder, <span style=\"color:#5f4d3d\">a one-eye<span style=\"color:#7f6950\">d barn owl<\/span> and then says softly, &#8220;But don&#8217;t mention it loud enough for them to hear, okay?&#8221; She settles into her seat, one leg crossing over another, &#8220;Boney, that&#8217;s right, we did meet.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem says &#8220;<span style=\"color:#00afff\">So let me make this clear. There are no good donut shops in this town, and I&#8217;ll eat no donuts before I eat substandard ones. So if that&#8217;s what you&#8217;re hear for; sorry to dissapoint.<\/span\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People will call it a sex cult, but I have yet to ever see, hear, or experience any sex.&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Teagan<\/span> does give a glance over to Benjamin and nods slowly, &#8220;Okay&#8230; Boney it is then. Maybe you&#8217;ll uh&#8230; help the sex cult image. Or uh, upholding it.&#8221; She snerks quietly to herself before looking over to Jakem again. &#8220;City&#8217;s already pretty weird.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mercy pulls a seat for herself and drops down into it, crossbow clattering, then sets her elbows on the table and props her chin in her hands like a properly giddy observer. Her half-lidded gaze drifts from one individual at the table to another, though it pauses on Helen in order to wink. &#8220;Secret&#8217;s safe with me.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mercy pipes up to Jakem to add in, with obvious distress regarding the issue, &#8220;Ain&#8217; no good pancakes neither! How&#8217;s a city not got an iHop? Shit&#8217;s criminal.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I refuse to regret my name&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Benjamin<\/span> mutters shaking his head. He still looks a bit confused, &#8220;So, is it just &#8230; being like, a free spirit? A hippy cult?&#8221; he wonders, glancing around. The Mountain Man looks like he seems in over his head. <\/p>\n<p>Jakem nods over to Benjamin &#8220;With a name like that, you&#8217;re in.&#8221; He turns to Mercy &#8220;So you might be wondering how we&#8217;re gonna do all that we set out to do. Here&#8217;s the dig; we got our magical doll project well underway. Teagan and Helen are on that. We&#8217;ve got three sacred artifacts for the museum to be opening soon. But that&#8217;s not really outreach. How do we do more to fundamentally change this city to suit the needs of the imagination?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mercy clicks her tongue, musing aloud, &#8220;More parties. With all the trimmins, people come in an&#8217; they ain&#8217; sure what&#8217;s real an&#8217; what&#8217;s an added somethin&#8217; in the punch. Maybe some crazy art displays &#8217;round the city that warp an&#8217; change dependin&#8217; on who&#8217;s lookin&#8217; at &#8217;em, fun pranks, uhh..&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;On second thought, you can call me Birdie&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Benjamin<\/span> chuckles some, &#8220;Nah, Boney Graves is a reference to tossing the bones&#8221; he breathes out as he&#8217;s listening, catching the doll easily. He looks over the doll as Jakem explains the fae spirit thing. &#8220;Ok so .. is it like a sort of magic cult then, in honor of a fae spirit&#8230;? Like&#8230; the Morrighan?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mercy looks down at her phone, then up to Jakem, then down to her phone again. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wouldn&#8217;t say anyone of us fits a certain vibe. We&#8217;re all quite different in our own ways,&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Helen<\/span> says to Benjamin as she looks towards him now, &#8220;It is more about how you can produce some imagination and wonder in the lives of others. We all have our talents, vastly different from the others. I also like the group of people, one of the major reasons I joined. Everyone is interesting so far, at least. And with name like Boney Birdie, you&#8217;ve got to have something going on for sure.&#8221; She looks over towards Mercy, &#8220;Pretty good ideas.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem nods to Benjamin &#8220;Yeah, that&#8217;s basically the gist of it. Though I don&#8217;t know what a Mirro-ghan is.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;WHAT?!&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Mercy<\/span> exclaims after her phone goes bzz one more time, a playfully scathing look angled up at Jakem. &#8220;Man you rude as hell, I&#8217;ma remember that.&#8221; Helen however is afforded a grateful uptick of her chin. <\/p>\n<p>Jakem shrugs to Mercy &#8220;Psh, like you don&#8217;t give off her vibe.&#8221; he snorts. &#8220;But I do apologize. So, in addition to all that we&#8217;re also kinda working on cutting out a slice of the Haven pie for ourselves.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Celtic Sidh goddess of magic. My uh, patron deity&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Benjamin<\/span> explains over to Jakem, in response to Helen he comments, &#8220;Boney Graves&#8221; he chuckles, &#8220;Or Birdie Graves, but the uh name I go by often is Boney Graves&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wonder is&#8230;&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Teagan<\/span> tilts her head as she considers, thinking on it. &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to describe her, I kinda think of her like if you took a child&#8217;s&#8230; playfulness and curiosity and just sort of bundle them up into&#8230; color?&#8221; There&#8217;s a shrug finally as she sits upright again. &#8220;I don&#8217;t do enough drugs to get it right.&#8221; She jumps slightly, looking over at Mercy. &#8220;Uhm&#8230; I&#8217;ve had my concerns a few times, but&#8230; yeah, I mostly like the group and so far, we&#8217;ve&#8230; kinda done more against the 63rd than a lot of other groups in the city, so.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;M&#8217;way more fun than her..&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Mercy<\/span> grumbles under her breath, otherwise quiet now to listen as others give their input. <\/p>\n<p>Jakem nods to Benjamin &#8220;Yeah, kinda like that, except&#8230; Well I&#8217;m gonna agree with Teagan. It&#8217;s a spirit with the power of a god and the mind of a child.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know who you&#8217;re talking about, but prove it! At least, in a way the owl won&#8217;t feel offended,&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Helen<\/span> says to Mercy as she grins in her direction before adding onto what Teagan is saying, &#8220;That&#8217;s right. A lot of people have plenty of goals and aspirations, conflicts, and I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll have our own, but really the conflict is making the people explore themselves and wonder more, imagine more, be surprised and mystified&#8230;&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I &#8230; didn&#8217;t realize this was going on, and I came looking here because I thought it was an occult bookstore&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Benjamin<\/span> mentions as he still studies the doll but is trying to keep up with the main conversation and anyone talking to him. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Already have jus&#8217; by comin&#8217; here.&#8221; is the response Helen receives, accompanied by a brief, sly grin that&#8217;s gone just as quickly as it appears. From there <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Mercy<\/span> regards Jakem once again, head tipped to one side, &#8220;What kinda things&#8217;ve y&#8217;all done before to get your presence out there? Jus&#8217; so I got a better startin&#8217; point on what to suggest.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Boney, you don&#8217;t want to walk around this town without friends, and we can be friends. I think you&#8217;ll fit right in, plus, I can take a look at your truck and get it runnin&#8217; again. Knockin&#8217; won&#8217;t do,&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Helen<\/span> says to Benjamin as she gestures around herself, &#8220;Can&#8217;t just walk into a meeting like this and think it isn&#8217;t a little fate.&#8221; She chuckles at Mercy and says, &#8220;You know what, you&#8217;re right. I don&#8217;t know who you&#8217;re being compared to, but they&#8217;re definitely not as cool.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem clears his throat as he dozes for a moment before looking about, then focuses on Mercy &#8220;The gladiatorial monster fights, the magical dolls&#8230;&#8221; he gestures to the one Benjamin holds &#8220;Which have also participated in the gladiatorial events. We&#8217;ve got two orgies, but that wasn&#8217;t really open to the public.&#8221; he scratches his cheek &#8220;I think we Benny Hilled some magical artifacts from somewhere.&#8221; he looks to Teagan &#8220;Remember when we assaulted that place, got the safe, and then we all hid behind our a tree until our ride came?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem gives a little gesture of his hand &#8220;If you want a good rundown that&#8217;s not based on my memory, most of the stuff we&#8217;ve done is in the paper.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem slaps a newspaper down on the table which can be seen at https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/chronicle\/ <\/p>\n<p>Mercy steeples her fingers and bobs her head attentively while Jakem gives her the gist, not even batting an eye at &#8216;orgies&#8217;, then cranes her neck a bit to peek down at the paper Jakem slides her way for more of the nitty gritty. <\/p>\n<p>The messenger doll begins to move a bit on its own, struggling to be free. <\/p>\n<p>Helen lifts her hand up and makes a soft shushing noise at part of what Jakem says, &#8220;Keep the stuff in front of the owl tame!&#8221; She continues the running joke now, &#8220;Plus, we pushed off the Legion from this place when two other boroughs fell recently.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I &#8230; noticed that, it&#8217;s been an interesting first day&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Benjamin<\/span> agrees with Helen, he does sigh a bit, and mutters &#8220;Fate. Fate always find me.&#8221; He seems to relax a little bit, though finding something about this a bit funny with a light underbreath chuckle. He looks down at the doll a moment, &#8220;Um, so &#8230; the doll is wiggling&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem nods to Helen &#8220;Oh right, yeah this place used to be run by Demons. The boss helped us push &#8217;em out.&#8221; he explains to Mercy and Benjamin. <\/p>\n<p>The messenger doll starts to do more than wiggle, struggling to get free of its captor. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never been to any of the orgies,&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Teagan<\/span> says lightly. &#8220;But yes, I remember the tree. He was a very good tree. Kept us safe from Avalon, even.&#8221; She glances to the paper, but doesn&#8217;t reach for it. She knows what&#8217;s in it! Every so often she glances off this way or that, but reaches down into her bag and rifles around, surfacing with a bag of jerky that she opens to start munching on. <\/p>\n<p>Mercy glances up from skimming the newspaper to peer to her left, briefly bewildered, then goes back to her reading. <\/p>\n<p>Jakem coughs as he looks at the paper &#8220;Oh, that one doesn&#8217;t have much in it. Try this one&#8230;&#8221; https:\/\/havenrpg.net\/newsite\/chronicle-archive-24\/ <\/p>\n<p>Mercy eagerly reaches for the extra reading material. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I also have not been to any of the&#8230;&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Helen<\/span> says softly as she whispers the word, &#8220;Orgies&#8230;&#8221; She chuckles softly and shrugs, &#8220;Some of the other things, though, I read about or heard about.&#8221; She looks amused towards Benjamin and the doll. <\/p>\n<p>Jakem looks to Benjamin &#8220;So as a provisional member, you&#8217;ll have the honor of holding back demons and spreading the fruits of imagination and magic to the citizenry. Furthermore, you&#8217;ll get paid an almost living wage, and some slight hazard pay when your duties become life threatening.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mercy frowns a touch at something she reads, but keeps going while listening to those around her still. <\/p>\n<p>With a <span style=\"color:#ff0000\">start<\/span> the messenger doll escapes someone&#8217; grasp and moves to the table! <\/p>\n<p>With a <span style=\"color:#ff0000\">start<\/span> the messenger doll escapes Benjamin&#8217;s grasp and moves to the table! <\/p>\n<p>Benjamin nods as he listens to Jakem, considering him but then the doll escapes and the man is staring at it baffled. <\/p>\n<p>Mercy blurts out a weird snort-laugh that she quickly smothers with a hand, hoping somehow, no one heard that. She&#8217;s really enjoying these articles apparently. <\/p>\n<p>Wonder uses a <span style=\"color:#0087ff\">mes<span style=\"color:#00afff\">sen<span style=\"color:#00d7ff\">ger <span style=\"color:#00ffff\">doll\/span><\/span\/span: <span style=\"color:#0000ff\">Kai<\/span> [<span style=\"color:#00ff00\">C<\/span>]Chide[<span style=\"color:#ff0000\">Beats <span style=\"color:#00ff00\">E, D, J, I, N<\/span\/span>] Leaving no button unpushed, the doll launches a campaign of irritation.<\/p>\n<p>Mercy looks up again but this time in slight alarm, whisking the papers into her arms protectively and watching the doll with slightly widened eyes. <\/p>\n<p>Mercy says &#8220;<span style=\"color:#00afff\">What&#8217;s it doin&#8217;?!<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Helen looks up from her phone with some surprise at the doll now and she widens her eyes, leaning back from the table, &#8220;See, now, there is a reason we don&#8217;t invite some people to meetings!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem gestures vaguely to the doll &#8220;Someone infused it with&#8230; uh, whatever they get infused by. It&#8217;s just gonna act like Kai for a little while.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Benjamin jumps up from his spot, staring at the doll with his eyes wide. Then he seems to have another reaction to something he hears and he&#8217;s stepping back. &#8220;A&#8230; journey?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem blinks a bit, looking at Benjamin &#8220;Huh? Oh yeah. Sure, joining the Celebrants is like a journey.&#8221; he says recovering from his confusion. <\/p>\n<p>Jakem nods to Mercy &#8220;Probably.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mercy scoots her chair a little farther away from the part of the table the doll presently occupies. <\/p>\n<p>Jakem clears his throat, trying to brush the doll to one side of the table, the far side specifically &#8220;All right, let&#8217;s focus people. So we need to keep the Legion out of Aurora Heights, and we need to spread Wonder through the land. For that we need ideas. And&#8230;&#8221; he looks to Mercy and Benjamin &#8220;Manpower. So what say you two? Either of you in for our little game?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Benjamin is frozen for a few moments, face paled. But then he slowly begins to visibly relax, before he returns to his seat. He clears his throat, then nods at Jakem. &#8220;I am willing to listen, and see what I can do. I am &#8230; &#8221; he licks his lips a moment, &#8220;new, still to some stuff.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mercy tears her sights away from the articles, holding a finger up in the air as one does when about to declare something all official-like. &#8220;Tell you what, while I ain&#8217; sure &#8217;bout signin&#8217; my soul away even more jus&#8217; yet, m&#8217;still interested in helpin&#8217; with the Legion an&#8217; gettin&#8217; into some mischief if yer willin&#8217; to outsource a little. No strings attached, I jus&#8217; like doin&#8217; stuff.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem shrugs to Benjamin &#8220;I don&#8217;t care if you&#8217;re new. We&#8217;ll teach you what you need to know.&#8221; He nods to Mercy &#8220;We can take you on as a provisional member if yah like. Contract workers aren&#8217;t quite useful to us since Wonder won&#8217;t eat from their hand, so to speak.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t have to sign yourself up in blood. Just come on as a provisional and see how you like it. I don&#8217;t think I know too many people who have left because they&#8217;re worried about doing things, most just fade off like people often do,&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Helen<\/span> says to Mercy and Benjamin, shrugging her shoulders and gesturing towards them, &#8220;More community in general than a lot of places, I&#8217;d say.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was provisional,&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Teagan<\/span> says to Mercy, brow furrowing. &#8220;I&#8217;d say I still am but somehow, I&#8217;m&#8230; next to take over if someone finally gets sick of Jakem and offs him?&#8221; She gives a little shrug. &#8220;I will tell you this much-&#8221; she leans over toward her fellow student and stage whispers: &#8220;Jakem is totally open to a coup so long as you make it funny.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem smirks to Teagan &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t be my first time couped. Actually, I think the next will be my 3rd since I came to this city.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>A second finger joins the first in the air and <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Mercy<\/span> waves them at Jakem in acknowledgement. &#8220;We&#8217;ll work out the deets when m&#8217;less tired.&#8221; Then, she peers over to Helen and Teagan with a thoughtful hum, and a brief grin to the latter for her scheming. &#8220;Jus&#8217; wanna make sure I ain&#8217; spread myself too thin, or you know, get into somethin&#8217; I ain&#8217; able to get out of easily after. That sorta thing.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Benjamin nods at Jakem, &#8220;then I suppose I am in, as a provisional member&#8221; he agrees with a smile. He&#8217;s far more relax now than he was in the beginning. &#8220;Community is important but also can be hard to find.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem nods a bit to Mercy &#8220;Oh thank god I&#8217;m not the only one that&#8217;s up past their bedtime.&#8221; he smirks &#8220;Well now that you all are provisional, we can issue yah comms so we can talk more later. I think this meeting&#8217;s done about all it&#8217;s gonna do for tonight.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Welcome, welcome,&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Helen<\/span> says to Mercy and Benjamin as she smiles and looks around the table at the others, &#8220;I don&#8217;t think it is a lifetime pledge like some places. You only have to suffer through Jakem&#8217;s sense of humor.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mercy blinks a few times with a vaguely stunned expression, like a deer caught in someone&#8217;s headlights. &#8220;Uh, but.. wh-&#8221; she starts, but the deal was seemingly already sealed. YOLO. &#8220;Ayeah, cool, thanks.&#8221; She finally blurts out after a beat. <\/p>\n<p>Benjamin chuckles, with a light grin at Helen, &#8220;My granddad would tell stories, ones that you&#8217;d have to take with a giant grain of salt. Even for places like these, just a lie. If I can deal with a bullshitter, I think a bad joke is fine&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem snorts &#8220;They won&#8217;t just suffer through it, they&#8217;ll participate.&#8221; he says with a smirk. To Mercy and Benjamin &#8220;Everyone has a specialty they contribute to Wonder. Teagan&#8217;s a violinest and a programmer. Helens a builder of wonderous things. I&#8217;m a prankster. You&#8217;ll each find your own path to her favor.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If he keeps insisting I try to coup him,&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Teagan<\/span> says as she starts getting to her feet, yawning (also past bedtime, perhaps), &#8220;I might start threatening to leave.&#8221; She gives a slow stretch and wiggles her fingers toward Benjamin and Mercy as she heads for the door. <\/p>\n<p>Mercy still has that &#8216;Where am I and how did I get here&#8217; look on her face but she follows the others in getting up from her seat, still greedily clutching the newspaper articles. With full intent to keep them. <\/p>\n<p>Helen begins to rise upwards as well, stretching as she says to Benjamin, &#8220;I think you&#8217;ll do just fine here, same with you, Mercy.&#8221; She indicates a nod in Mercy&#8217;s direction, &#8220;I&#8217;m glad you&#8217;re giving it a shot. We&#8217;ll all spend some time together, figure out what makes everyone tick and how we can all contribute.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Mercy says &#8220;<span style=\"color:#00afff\">Ayeah, we- sure, course.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Jakem nods, moving to stand &#8220;I know this is a little shell shocking, but I&#8217;ll be on comms if you want to ask questions. I&#8217;m trying to keep our meetings shorter so we can have more of &#8217;em.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Benjamin chuckles at the conversation around him before Helen&#8217;s words get his attention, &#8220;Go to find a book and end up joining a cult. That sounds like my life&#8221; he groans slightly as he stands, his knee popping. &#8220;I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll learn soon what that might be&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Jakem says &#8220;<span style=\"color:#00afff\">And this is how you use comms.<\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin says &#8220;<span style=\"color:#00afff\">Checkin&#8217; <\/span>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin pauses then says over to Mercy &#8220;I don&#8217;t believe I caught your name, though ma&#8217;am? <\/p>\n<p>Jakem nods a bit to Benjamin and Mercy &#8220;I&#8217;ll getcha both some colors to wear tomorrow.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Better off than roaming around randomly. Now you&#8217;ve got a place,&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Helen<\/span> says to Benjamin as she nods and flutters a wave towards Jakem and Mercy, &#8220;Goodnight, going to head back and maybe nap, not sure yet.&#8221; She also walks towards Cinder, <span style=\"color:#5f4d3d\">a one-eye<span style=\"color:#7f6950\">d barn owl<\/span> and waves to them as well before stepping out, sparks trailing after each step of hers, smoldering flame, followed by the darkening grey of steel. <\/p>\n<p>Mercy turns her attention more pointedly on Benjamin, sizing him up. &#8220;Ain&#8217; no &#8216;ma&#8217;am&#8217; here, s&#8217;Mercy.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Apologies, ma- Miss Mercy&#8221; <span style=\"color:#ffffff\">Benjamin<\/span\/span> offers to Mercy, apologetically.
