[The feed opens to Irene sitting in her office - there's a bit of sun coming in the window behind her and spreading across the desk, making the whole room seem warm and cheery.]

Hello! For those of you that I didn't meet on the first day, my name is Irene, and I'm the city's liaison to the arrivals from other worlds. It's a pleasure to meet you!

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for their hard work. It hasn't even been a month, and the city's energy levels are already picking up. Because of that, we expect to be able to re-energize and open the Third District to visitors soon.

But before we can do that, there's a few things that need to be done. I'm posting today to ask for volunteers to help power a number of generators throughout the district, which will then activate and negate the draining effect that is presently still active. There's three large generators and a number of smaller ones. If you are in good health and would like to participate, please gather at the bridges between Districts 2 and 3 early Sunday afternoon.

I'll also answer any questions you have about the operation at this time. Thank you again for all your help.

Oh.

[He crawls up on his chair again.]

So that's how you make energy. Do we have to hug the generator then?

[He cocks his head.]

And how did you get inside this box?]

[rekindlenpcs]

You just have to touch one of the panels on the top.

[At his other question, she smiles and tries not to laugh.]

I'm not inside the box. It's just showing you where I am now.

[beforetights]

Wow, so you mean this is like some sort of...moving picture? Like a movie?

[He puts his hand on the screen.]

Where are the generators? I'll help!

Help one child, get the second one free! :-D (AKA: Joining the thread w/Lotus' permission!)

[smallspot]

G-generator? What is a generator?

[A small dark-haired head pops into view next to Cu Chulainn and peers at the screen.]

Oh! Hello Lady Irene!

[He waves at her, before turning to face his friend.]

Did Lord Devin show you how to use the magic boxes too?

[rekindlenpcs]

[Oh, goodness, too much cute.]

A generator is a machine that makes energy. They're located in the Third District, but it's not safe to go over there yet.

[He looks over to Diarmuid.]

Nope, I just poked it and it showed this woman.

[He looks up at the screen.]

Then when are we going?

[smallspot]

[Diarmuid frowns slightly at the other boy.]

That is Lady Irene, not 'this woman.' Be nice to her! She is helping us!

[He turns back to the screen and smiles at Irene.]

Lady Irene, I want to help too! Is there something we can do even though we are little?

[rekindlenpcs]

Of course! The district is opening in a few days - you can go over there and help out as much as you like.

[She smiles brightly.]

You two should probably stick close together, though. It's good that you've become friends.

[beforetights]

Of course!

[He puts an arm around Diarmuid's shoulders.]

We'll stick close, Lady Irene!

[smallspot]

[Diarmuid giggles when his friend puts his arm around him.]

I will stay close to him, Lady Irene! Someone has to keep him out of trouble! He likes throwing swords.

[He reaches up lightly pulls his friend's ponytail to show he's teasing.]
