How many goodly creatures are there here! :: GAME OPENER

Welcome to Baedal.

These are the first words newcomers hear when the door opens and they are invited into their new world. Some fuss, some fight, some need time before they have the courage to step outside. Others, shell-shocked or jaded, go quietly along with the proceedings.

They are given brief instructions; a repeat of what's described in the pamphlet and a door key.

Please stay in your room. There will be dinner soon.

It's been almost a day for some. For others, only an hour's wait. The latest newcomer is lead straight from the arrival room to the dining hall where candles and lanterns have been set out to compensate for failing electricity. (Those who have been here longer explain about rolling blackouts.) The food, however, is warm, varied and plentiful. Seating is open, and less conventional chair are available to those who need them.

There are many strange faces around the table, the majority of these recent arrivals. The proprietor of the Valhalla Inn is here, as is some of her staff. The Sheriff of Mog Hill is introduced, his function detailed. The reason for the dinner is explained:

It's a celebration. A new cohort has finally been officiated; CeidaryBlue523. Your cohort. Please. Introduce yourself. Mingle. Get to know your fellows, they will be your brothers and sisters for as long as you live in this city.

"Oh good, I'd hate to see you deprived of your better half." He loves Martel, really. (Almost enough to offer the man a place to stay, too, but – well, he's not that generous.)

"Speaking of rounds, I ought to be making mine. Civic duty, you know." He rolls his eyes, but it's half-hearted; despite the disaffected default, he's enjoying his politicking more that he'll say. "Meet me out front after, I'll find you a better place to sleep."

If Jack is enjoying his politicking, then Balthier would prefer to break company with him for a while anyway. (He's an odd creature. He'll help, being stunningly adept, but he'll always begrudge the existence of it.)

Then again, neither of them are much for the dreaded concept of PDA.

"Abandoning me already? See if I sleep anywhere but your sofa." But he smirks at him a little, good-natured, as he slips away back into the mess of people.
