Hello to our new neighbors. May I first extend a greeting to you all, and introduce myself. I am Ozma of Oz, a fellow prisoner to this town. I would like to help you. Should you need anything, anything at all, be it emotional advice or physical assistance, please do not hesitate to give me a call. I am available most all hours of the day, and I enjoy the company. In fact, I'm extending an invitation to tea this afternoon, at 835 Hastings.

To the rest of you, I was hoping you could assist me with something. See, the mass confusion when each new round of neighbors coming in seems extremely chaotic, and I was wondering if we could provide each newcomer with a welcome basket of some sorts. Information, warnings not to drink the milk, fresh baked cookies, a list of locations to find support- that sort of thing. However, I could not possibly take on such a project on my own. I have a few of Mr. Vantas' lists, though I'm a bit hesitant of handing those out to just anyone, and there aren't enough copies to go around for everyone. Unless I enchant them to multiply, which is of course, always an option. Thoughts, comments, and concerns should be left with me immediately, I would like to have preparations complete in time for the next round of.... neighbors.

Thank you for your time.

Oh that sounds like a wonderful idea! I'd love to help.

[fairymagic]

Would you? Do you think you could provide us with information for the newcomers?

[motheringnation]

I'm not sure if I know that much. But I can help with the food and things.

[answerer_sword]

I suppose I will help, with the information, that is.

[She is not sure how well her cooking attempts will turn out. While she finds her own cooking perfectly edible, she is not sure others will find it the same way.]

[fairymagic]

That would be extremely helpful.

[answerer_sword]

What form would you prefer the information to be in? Pamplets? Letters?

[And then there would be the challenge of making several legible copies of the information.]

[acuity]

A welcome basket?

I would certainly appreciate one.

[fairymagic]

I don't have any prepared right now, but I can provide you with some information and baked goods.

[acuity]

That would be very helpful!... The information moreso than the food...

[fairymagic]

The only thing I have in print right now is a list of safe-houses and healers should any danger arise, but I can provide any answers to your questions over the phoneline.

[acuity]

Then, whenever possible, I'd like a copy of that list. I'd be willing to help distribute them, too!

As for questions... perhaps I could research them myself. Is there a library nearby?

[littlechevalier]

Hello, Mr. Ozma. I'm new to the town, but I wouldn't mind helping out with putting together welcome baskets for you.

[fairymagic]

Oh, thank you, that would be greatly appreciated. What's your name?

[littlechevalier]

Its Riku, sir.

[fairymagic]

Riku. It's very nice to meet you.

Though, I should clarify, I'm a ma'am.

[littlechevalier]

[So embarrassed] Oh--I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to--

[At this point, the embarrassment has sunk in. What was wrong with him? That was such a rude thing for him to do to someone he'd just met.]

[charming_freckles]

Welcome baskets! What a nice idea! I'd like to help! I can make a mean batch of cookies, if you still need some help with those.

[fairymagic]

I think we could always use more cookies.

[charming_freckles]

Great! But what kind do you think would be best? Chocolate chip? Or snickerdoodles? I can make them with nuts in them too, but you never know who might arrive with a severe allergy...

[fairymagic]

A variety would be nice. Perhaps we could separate the ones with nuts, and label them accordingly?

[charming_freckles]

That seems doable! Hey, if you'd like, I can make up a few batches of the different types of cookies and bring them to you for taste testing! You can choose which ones you like best and I can make a variety pack of them for the baskets!

I would like to help with assisting newcomers in any way I can, I know it's really overwhelming to wake up somewhere so strange.

[fairymagic]

That's very kind of you. Could you help me think of something small to include for the children?

[kinship]

[He's not exactly a normal child himself, so he has to think about this for a moment.]

A toy, perhaps? Or a book?

[morningandeveningstar]

I may accept that invitation.

[fairymagic]

Please do. I seldom receive company.

[morningandeveningstar]

It would be a pleasure, Princess.

[sara_mudou]

What a great idea! If there's any way I can help, please let me know! I'd be happy to.

[fairymagic]

There will be plenty to help with. Do you, or anyone you know receive the knowledge of newcomers? I know a few do. If not, we could always use assistance for information packets, or even just putting the baskets together.

[sara_mudou]

I do receive knowledge of them! As a matter of fact. The town thinks I need to help them learn to fit in...

[imjustpicky]

I... I could probably help! I'd have liked to get cookies on my first day. Tell me what you want me to do, Ozma!

[fairymagic]

Perhaps you could assist me with delivering them, when the time comes next.

[imjustpicky]

Yeah! I could do that! I know my way all over town!

[fairymagic]

Perfect. I need assistance with that.

[imjustpicky]

...you don't know your way all over town?

[fatedmagica]

Oh, um...! I... I'd like to help with that sort of thing, if I could..!

Phone ☆

[fairymagic]

Of course you could.

[best_weapon_ever]

That's a really good idea. I wouldn't mind baking cookies to go in the baskets. And, If we get enough people to help we could split up the town into sections for delivery!

[fairymagic]

We could! There seem to be more and more people each time, hm?

[best_weapon_ever]

There really does, and it would be nice to give them something they can enjoy after the shock of waking up in a strange place.
