[ Judging by the fairly spooky looking trees in the background, Ariadne is in the thick of La Llorona. With her is an imp who appears to be wearing a neckerchief, perching on the side of a cart and fussing over the sacks in the back of it. Ariadne herself has a steak of dirt on her forehead and a bit more on her nose, as well as her clothing.

Yup, she's been digging up bones. ]

If anyone needs to get any remains to Caer Scima, I may be able to meet you somewhere and get them there. I know we're all sort of spread out.

[ She rubs the back of the hand that's not holding her locket across her forehead, smearing the dirt across it. Despite the drop in temperature, this is still hard, sweaty work. ]

And if anyone else is in or around La Llorona, or will be traveling through the forest to get to or from Caer Scima -- I have a manor in the forest. While I wouldn't say it's one hundred percent safe, knowing the way things go around here, it's definitely safer than camping within the forest. As long as you aren't looking to hurt the forest or Caer Scima -- or haven't just come from doing those things -- you can stay there, if you'd like.

[ She grins at the camera, tired but obviously pleased. ]

I even have rooms picked out for a few of you.

[He'll try not to hog the covers.]

Then I'll head your way, and bring the Unseelie remains from any graves that I come across. They deserve a proper resting place.

[And maybe some...flowers? No. No, the tulips probably wouldn't be a good idea.]

[ She will steal them back and she will not play fair to do it. ]

They do. It's a shame they were left for so long.

[ Flowers are nice, but yeah, please not those tulips. ]

But, well. Things happen.

That doesn't mean that they should.

[Never gonna be happy with the 'this is just how the world is' excuse.]

It's been awhile since I've been in that forest. Believe it or not, it might bring back some good memories.

No. But that's why we're doing something now.

[ You sure you shouldn't be Unseelie, Steve? Sounds like you're into change. ]

You'll even have shoes this time.

[A little out of place in every world, tbh.]

I could still show up in my pajamas. For old time's sake.

[His favorite kind of time.]

[ Ariadne laughs, shaking her head. ]

I'll just run into you in the hallway while you're wearing them.
