The day dawns bright and just a little cool, soft mist rolling over the distant mountains as the forest stretches and yawns in the breeze. It's another beautiful morning in this new-old village, just waiting for its inhabitants to begin filling it with the work of the day.

But this day, there is a surprise. A gift, if you will, not unfamiliar to the old timers, although they know too that sometimes these gifts come with strings.

On the lawn in front of the 6I inn, all of the tables, chairs and even the bar has been moved out into the breaking sunshine. A breakfast feast has been arranged, tables piled high with every imaginable delicacy and comfort food of a certain era: Muffins, toast, coffee, fruit, pop-overs, crumpets, lamb chops, porridge, hot chocolate, biscuits, and every kind of egg, just to start. Even the bar is stocked for those itching for mimosas, mint juleps or irish coffee.

Of course, anyone who has spent time in the wilderness can tell you: In a place gone wild, it's only a matter of time before the scent of food draws in unwanted visitors. Eat up while you can, villagers; you may be sharing your plate soon.

"Steve and I talked about that. Once everyone has eaten we want to bring stuff back to the house to at least have for dinner or breakfast tomorrow. But without freezers, I think it is going to be hard to store this. Maybe some of the cheeses will keep, and bread should last a few days." He glances down the table. "I'd love to keep the milk and the coffee, but the milk we really need to be able to keep cool"

"Does the fridge not work," he asks, tilting his chin toward the inn. There had been a few basic appliances in the kitchen, dated as they were. He won't turn his nose up at the amenities on offer, just because they're from a time he can't recall any connection to.

Turn of the last century didn't get a lot of curriculum, in the FEDRA schools.

"Maybe we can figure something out with the weather; might be cool enough in the store room for a few days." The cellar under his house, if he's going to call it that, certainly got cold enough if he didn't light the furnace.

"Who knows after being without use for who knows how long. Cooked food doesn't tend to last that long anyway." He shurgs. "It is worth a try. As long we make sure everyone in the village has enough to eat today."
