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 feel like all any of us can do right now is to try and soothe the problems created.

And you're welcome.

Precisely. The land must heal as well as the people.

I will attempt to borrow a mount and make for the faerie ring and return here when the beast has been calmed.

Anyone with a cleg will be an advantage, they can clear ground much faster. Regardless of what you decide to do, please be safe.

I will endeavour to be swift as well as safe. Upon my honour, you have my word.

And you, as well. I shall pray to God for all in the meantime, that you all may remain safe and unhurt.

Thank you, and success to you in whatever you decide to do.
