Happy New Year, loves!
I hope the year brings warmth and inspiration to you all, and not just IC.
Our little Drykas community is a tight knit one, more so OOC than IC, but I wanted to take a moment and welcome all the people who are new to the city.
If you're new to Mizahar, I want to assuage a fear I faced when I was new. Know that just because we're a jolly bunch here already, we happily welcome new people and even if IC meetings are chilly, we're happy to have you.
If you're just a new face in the city, I wanna find ways to come across one another! We should be as familiar IC as we tend to be OOC, so let's thread. Let's come across one another while we bathe, or while we do laundry. Let's butt heads as we haggle for an item in the market, or giggle over a gaggle of children at play. We can be long lost friends or childhood rivals, let's make connections.
If you've been around a while already we should thread anyway. We have so many skills that we should all share, like the weaving of satalu (a pavilion marking woven pattern that is used to mark animals that belong to you), or cosmetology as we sit about and braid each other's hair. We can have a social thread that builds up those skills or trades knowledge, they don't just have to be idle chat.
Let's community build this year. We can do it!
