A Gentle Network

[ though this is a heavy thing for her to do in a number of ways, zita feels like this has to be done.

so she uses the physic link, her attempts to get the others' attentions gentle yet persistent nudges as her message begins to ripple out. ]

Hello, everyone... I'm Zita. I feel like I should introduce myself to you all, just in case.

After the events of last month and in light of recent events despite it being so early, I thought it wouldn't hurt to check on how you were all doing. Between the conflicts and the disturbances, it's certainly been a rough few months for all and-

[ uncertainty clouds zita's end of the connection for a second, but she pushes through it and some measure of determination shines through. ]

-and I want to do my best to help out more in the city as a result. There's much to do and we're here, after all, to fulfill that task

So... I'm planning some activities and would greatly appreciate company and help along the way. If you're interested in joining these tasks or are simply in need money or healing, please let me know so we can talk.

If you're in need of help with anything, please feel free to make your needs known too and I, and, hopefully, others, can aid you in someway in return.

Thank you.

[ ooc notes; feel free to interact with yourselves and hijack other threads! zita will have an month-long open log for activities up within the week and will be linked here accordingly for those who would like to participate in some influence jobs with zita. :> ]

[The gentle brush against the Strangers' minds comes in early evening. It is, as all mental touches are from Fayura, soft and unassuming, much like a polite knock at a door. Once as many minds are connected as she thinks will open the door to her, she speaks.]

I am curious, Strangers, what you would do with the young man who shot and killed Councilwoman Vera.

Many of you come from worlds where there are laws against murder. While we have no such laws here, when a Blood male in a Queen's Territory kills another without cause, she may demand a price from him. Sometimes, that is his own life if he was negligent enough with his temper and sometimes, it's something less.

My trouble is this: if I execute him according to the laws of the Blood, of which he is not one, the Guilds will rouse their people into a furor and attack not only me, but the people of Draega. If I turn him over to the Ebon Council, the Guilds will do much the same, and that will incite the Council to strike back. And if I return him to the Guilds for accolades instead of punishment for taking a life, the Ebon Council will have cause to rip apart the Guilds and anyone in their way to extract from him the price for murdering one of their own.

Were you me, what course would you take? And please try not to shout over each other; this is as many of you as I could reach.
