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.

"Different, but warm, so I'm not complaining too much. Purse could be bigger, though," she responds, digging in to the bag for another sausage roll.

It takes her a few seconds to fully register the young woman's timidity, and lets her demeanor soften more than she normally would. Wynonna did most of her growing up in group homes for troubled teens and the occasional "inpatient mental health facility." There had been girls there who had some similar affectations, and honestly, some of the time, she'd preferred their company to the other delinquents.

"Warm is good."

She curiously watches the other woman pull a sausage roll out of the purse.

"I didn't bring a purse ..." She's used to having access to a personal pocket at all times. "Should I have brought something for the food?

She really wouldn't have described herself as timid, but she was certainly more comfortable fighting physical threats than navigating social situations like this.

"I didn't either, I think they added it because no one would understand my costume without a label," she says. "Don't worry about it, you're good. Have you had enough to eat tonight? Everything at the table's pretty good. Um. Don't go for the punch, but that cider there should be fine."

Let's not get the new kid drunk. Wow, Wynonna Earp, semi-responsible adult.

Smart, Wynonna, very smart.

"I think so. I've eaten a bit." How do you know when you're done? She just knows the pangs in her stomach have subsided. She'll continue to nibble on things throughout theknight, but she doesn't feel the urges she did coming in.

"What's wrong with the punch?"
