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.

I have yet to locate anything that can kill me.

[ not for lack of trying. >(

but hey as long as she's saddled with immortality (which she has to be, or she'd be granting her own deathwish) she may as well offer to let other people make use of it. when she feels like she can be bothered. ]

[gordianknots]

Well, I suppose that's more than enough for me. How quickly can you move across the map?

[liven]

Depends. I can fly, but it'd be faster still to just have Lumina pick me up if she's free.

[ lumina will recruit her for whatever save the thing plan she has, anyway, so that sort of works itself out. shijima is perfectly content to let the chaos-child drag her around the drabwurld map. ]

[gordianknots]

Lumina is already involved and coordinating with Grell. I believe you're on Lumina's team then, and leave further planning in her hands.

[liven]

Oh, I'll do whatever either of them wants. That works out fine.

[ since grell is a death god and agreed to attempt to kill her and lumina gave her a room at her ranch.

.................shijima's favor can, occasionally, be bought. ]

Good luck with whatever you're doing.

[gordianknots]

Please be safe as you move with them. I don't want people dying from this thing if it can be helped.

And thank you.

[liven]

I'll be certain to save the dying for after this is done with. Later.

[ she's.......being genuine.............putting off her death wish for the remainder of the battle since she actually likes some of you losers...but wow that sounds flippant doesn't it. ]

[gordianknots]

Thank you. And success to you.
