This morning, our intrepid villagers awoke to a surprise of the nicer kind: A bundle of clothing left at the foot of their bed, tied with a bow. There is also a note: Put on your new outfit and join the festivities in the corn field next to the inn.
You may be thinking, what corn field next to the inn? The one that sprung up fully-mature overnight, of course.
In the middle of the field, villagers will find an autumn feast: Tables piled with harvest time food and drink, warm and rustic decorations, the day's sunshine fending off any chill in the air.
Tuck in and enjoy, villagers, but take note: Things often look different in the dark, and you might be one of them.

"I'm Beverly, by the way. I don't think we've met."
no subject
"Niska," she introduces herself in turn. "I'm new. Mark rescued me from the tubes a month ago," she explains, and given her unwillingness to be very social, it's taken her some time to get around to meet others. "Gift boxes? Are those frequent?"
no subject
"It's very nice to meet you, Niska, despite the less than pleasant circumstance of being here." She might be one to try to make life here easier on everyone, but she isn't going to lie about how pleasant it really is. "I think it depends on how nice the Observers are feeling. Some people seem to find a lot of them, but I really haven't. The last one I found had a kitten in it and I'm still not sure how I feel about that." She loves the kitten. It's the idea of animals being trapped in boxes that has her concerned.
no subject
"Do you not like animals and they forced you to take care of one? I think that would be far worse than being trapped in a costume," she opines.
no subject
She'll worry about him when things get rough and given last year, she isn't sure she wants to think of how bad this winter will be. All of the animals in their care will have to be looked after. If it were just weather to worry about, that would be one thing, but with the Observers in the mix, there's no telling what will happen.
no subject
Then again, she also can't ask a complete stranger if she had dissected her cat to look for robot parts as that might seem more than a touch odd. "What other gifts are you given?" she wonders. "Treats in boxes to get you to behave, one assumes."
no subject
no subject
"And what is it you want in one of them?" It seems the natural next question, because what you get and what you want can often differ.

Niska knows exactly what she wants. She wants brothers, sister, Astrid. Maybe not in that order, but she wants that. She wants an answer to who the Synth Who Sleeps is. She wants to know if she really saw Odie in the woods. None of that is going to work, so she eyes the other woman.
"Books," she says, because that's also true. "I like to read, and there doesn't seem to be much in the way here of books."
no subject
"You might try the schoolhouse," she suggests next. "I think there might be some books there and floating around. We didn't have many until recently. Paper itself wasn't exactly easy to come by. So the schoolhouse might be your best bet."
no subject
How very interesting and curious.
"What sort of books?" she asks, because while she has her particular interests, beggars can't be choosers and to continue learning anything would be a welcome thing at this point. "My preference is non-fiction, particularly philosophy."
no subject
no subject
"In that case, I don't think I'll delay," she says, but she does offer Beverly a small smile, perhaps warmer than Niska might have anticipated giving, but she's enjoyed their talk and the direction to books. "Thank you," she says, and means it.
