"Um. Yes."

"I've heard of you, an honor" He says

"Um. Thanks. It was a team effort really. All of this is. Do you want to come in?"

"Yes yes I guess I..."

"INCOMING DEBUKES" Phobos yells

"Come on." Then her head snaps around. "Come now." She heads for Phobos and the DeBukes.

And they head in... DeBukes, a whole train of them, at least a dozen trolls come in with wheelbarrows, with carts, and some with packs. Food food and food.

Pumpkins, Bags of flour, other grains, apples

Jessica greets them all with warm words and friendly hands. "Good to see you. Thank you. Come on in. Thanks for making the trip...."

"Oh heck" One says "This is just the first round"

"Maria, can we get refreshment for these folks?"

Arter looks about "Can I help or?"

Refreshments are brought out...

"Happy to have them here, and the others to come."

Clem comes in with jugs of milk "All right folks, you know the system... get in, drop it off, get more..."

The boggans of the hold are scrambling to make room for the food rush. And Diego grunts "My wine cellar is about to get filled with non wines isn't it?"

"If needed Diego. Trust me, it'll get empty again pretty soon. And you'll feel good about it."

"That's what you told me about this, and I still don't have a revolution" He grumbles and opens the winery.

One DeBuke says "I think I like the satyr fellow there"

"Sometimes revolutions take time, Diego. Tell me there haven't been changes?" She gives HIM the Eyebrow as she pitches in to move and store food.

"Maria, anyone who likes food prep, cooking, serving, delivering.... let's get things going. Best way to get more food in here is to get food out of here."

CLem almost bumps into Arter "Hey"/"Sorry, I was hoping to help..." //"Well you're not going to help by being in the way I..." Clem says/"Apologies. They just found me" Arter epxlains/CLem blinks "Damn, Jessica, you deliver"

"He found us." She helps throw the groceries.

Then clem pulls her eyes away "I did not just blurt that out loud"//"I am very confused" /Arter says and grabs some to help//Then Clem sees his back, "Is anyone else aware this man has second degree burns on his back?"

"Oh, yeah. Um. Clem, quick? Could you show him where the springs are? Arter, use the springs to get well and then come give us a hand."

"I can manage" he says "I'll be fine" /"Move your blue butt to the springs, this way" Clem directs "Jessica's in charge here. and if she wasn't, I'd still make you go." //"I have to find my motley" He says stubbornly//"Well, being less cooked than a side of bacon might be helpful for that too. MOVE."//The man mutters 'Sic Semper Tyranus' but moves on with Clem directing him

Coy Debuke, thane her, looks amused at them going "Oh, CLem got to bullying him right away. Means she likes him."/ A few of the other DeBukes snicker at that

Jessica keeps things moving, into the kitchen for a preference. "Coy. Want to come move some of this stuff?"

"Right away" He says

"Good. I'm going to check on arrangements, see if we can get food moving."

Over the next hour...Jessica mobilizes the locals. It seems every boggan around here has mortal family who may not understand the fae world but surely understand about charity. ANd others have their own ways of transporting large bulks of food! The nockers try out new transportation devices! Trucks, but better! This one has a drill!

"What does a truck need a drill for?" Mystified.

"It has a drill, it's BETTER" The Nocker says stubbornly

Meanwhile, drill or not, the truck is loaded up

"Ok, ok.... " Jessica marshals the resources. "I need a runner to find Father V and Sir Jack. They're point with the mortals, they can help distribute the food once it's made. Make sure any mortal kithain who are helping get a share too, no one goes hungry if we have anything to give...."

And Clem is back on the scene, "Arter is healing up, and second wave arrived..."

"Fantastic, I want to get this stuff into kitchens as quick as we can but if there's stuff that's ready to go we can get it straight out to Father and Sir Jack. Can you help divy it up?"

"ALreayd on it..."

"Thanks!" Jessica pauses to think, then looks around for Dame Mitra.

Mitra is on the phone "yes yes, appreciated. " She looks up at Jessica "In a nutshell summerstrike demands only Seelie fae enter his domain even to help. "

Jessica wipes her hand down her face. "Right. Well. Buce, to start? Think he'll accept food for those there?"

"Yes, but he's ..saying he'll distribute it to the worthy first" The woman sighs "Honestly, I know some Gwydion are fine, but Summerstrike moves me to ire"

"He's a pain in the ass." Jessica mutters. "Fine. Yes, let's send some, what we can, but we have to manage it so we have enough to feed anyone he sends our way as Unseelie. To his, um, lights."

"I'll pass it on. Did you need me for something ? Right now I' mcoordinating like you asked. Aljeandro is having a much easier time. "

"No, no, you're doing great. Thanks."

"Am I forgetting anything?" She asks Diego.

"Beyond the fact I suspect one of the DeBukes has slipped in Corn whiskey into my winnery? No I suppose not. But we must go among the people to see if any ARE fae yes?"

She nods. "Yes. We have folks out there now but... do you want to go on patrol? Together?"

"Sure, we can follow Arter" He gestures to the troll who left his healing bath and has been working

"Is Arter going on patrol?" She seems surprised. "I mean... he just got here."
