So much has happened in the last few days and I've been a little busy. Is there anything I can do for anyone? I can travel fast, heal, brew potions for sleeping and nursing. Please, let me know. I want to do what I can to make sure we're all safe an taken care of.

My name is Hermione Granger, for those that don't know. I don't care where you are. Please let me help. 

( PRIVATE TO HERMIONE'S CLOSE CR )

I'm awake. I'm tired and I feel like something is tugging on my heart no matter what I'm doing but I'm awake and the thing is done. What have I missed? Let me know.

As well as can be expected with those damned mutts running around and causing problems. I've been asked to help with the rebuilding of the city here, specifically the gates.

I'd try and offer some help but I'm not sure I could get over there to be of any use. Are they dangerous? No one's hurt too badly, are they?

voice ; private

[gloinul]

They're...upsetting most of the population, if nothing else. Haven't heard of anyone getting hurt, though.

[brainiest]

Upsetting how? I can't imagine they're telling sad stories.

voice ; private

[gloinul]

You see what you fear the most, in gory detail, when they are around.

[brainiest]

Oh.

[ oh. oh... ]

Like a boggart - a creature from my world. That's exactly what they do.

voice ; private

[gloinul]

Does a boggart cause nightmares and visions?

voice ; private

[brainiest]

Not that I'm aware of. It generally just... Stands in front of you presenting you with whatever you fear the most.

voice ; private

[gloinul]

Then these are nothing like those boggarts.

voice ; private

[brainiest]

I'm glad I was asleep for the most part. I don't think I could face my boggart, not right now.

voice ; private

[gloinul]

Aye, you have been a lucky one lass.

[brainiest]

I'm sure I'll make up for it next month, though.

voice ; private

[gloinul]

Perhaps, perhaps not. Solstice is soon, isn't it? The world might be kind for once.

voice ; private

[brainiest]

Oh, that would be lovely. I think we've all earned a break, haven't we?

voice ; private

[gloinul]

Indeed. This month has not been particularly enjoyable for anyone.

I hope that the things we're doing are going to be enough to make sure that we actually have a means to keep each other safe. We're all trying so hard - it has to be worth something.
