Heard the meet and greet was a bust. Guess the citizens decided to share their gloomy mood with the newbies, typical of humans. When you're in a bad mood you always feel the need to spread it around.

Even Chef has got a dose of it. Usually the candy shop makes a whole spread of goodies for those banquets. This time he didn't even bother suggesting it. I finally tempted him into at least making a few gift baskets...

The first tickle of breeze on a hot day, or the first few bites of a favorite meal. As she had told Crowley, it wasn't enough to completely replenish, but maybe Merlan would start to come back to herself a little ...
