By now I think everyone knows that the monarchs are asking us to run after the Jabberwock to try and return it back to them. We know that it responds to touch, that it likes puzzles, and that lavender will help soothe it.

But there are problems with what we’ve been told that need to be solved now.

1. It’s the middle of winter. We need sources of lavender, and I do not imagine that this will be easy. If anyone knows where to begin, and can say so on an open post here, you’d be doing everyone a great favour.
2. The Jabberwock isn’t small. Making puzzles that will be the right sie will be a struggle. Thoughts on how to go about that are welcome. I’m not imagining that it is going to be possible to walk up to this thing and ask it why did the chicken cross the road?
3. Touch. If this thing’s aura of rot is as true as old accounts have presented it, we need to find ways to deal with that. Quickly.

I’m encouraging brainstorming on this network post because anything that can be thought up together will have a greater chance of working.

Chime in if you can and for the love of whatever is dearest to you, stay safe.

It's my pleasure.

If Lady Grainne wakes up any time soon I'll head out and help evacuate areas. I was...left with some runes for protection and I've been saving them for an emergency.

No better emergency. And I'm sure the half that checked in will be grateful for what you're doing too

Tell him he better stay alive or she won't forgive him. No better motivation than an angry wife who's just woken up.

[gordianknots]

I'll pass it along.

...We're really in way over our heads here, aren't we?

[gordianknots]

Sadly yes

My mum in full bear mode would be easier to face than this beast.

[gordianknots]

Literally anything would be preferable.

It'll be managed. Somehow.

[notyetlegend]

The sooner the better.
