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.

She has not checked in.

Let me know.

I will attend to these woods so long as I can. Whoever set these fires to begin with knew it was a good time of year to cause such wanton destruction.

Will do.

And please, be safe as you do so. Servant or not, I don't want anyone or anything else on fire.

Nonsense. Were I not capable, I would not have deserved to be a hero in the first place.

We'll need you in the future too, you idiot.

Hm. I had been hoping that my time would have passed, already. I no longer need concern myself with finding a final battlefield.
