From: Hades
Date: March 22nd

As some of you may be aware, a large group of bees have moved into an abandoned temple in the Western District. Some bee sting injuries of children have occured.

I intend to take these bees under my protection and move them to my temple. If there are no objections, it will be done by the 25th.

[ Ain will be converting the bees to void-touched versions of themselves, and this will let him influence them to become calmer once they take up residence in his temple. They will still go about their foraging rituals but avoid stinging people, only flying away if disturbed. However, the honey they produce will become poisonous. This has been cleared by the mods o/ ]

What will you do with the bees at your temple?

[abgrund]

Nothing. They will live there with my blessing and do what they wish.

[holygrailed]

Will you set up hives for them or will they settle where they wish?

[abgrund]

I will, though I will not force them to live there if it discomforts them.

[ He could probably copy the structure that they already made in the abandoned temple. It sounds wise to replicate down to as small a detail as he can. ]

Oh, you're going to keep bees now, Mister? Or are you already doing that and just are adding to the collection?

[abgrund]

I am going to keep them now, yes. It is a new thing that I have decided to try out.

Soooo does that mean that you've looked into what bees eat?

I don't think many would object if it stops them from harming people as much.

[abgrund]

I thought the same. However, if anyone else wishes to take care of them instead, I would not take away their choice.

[smilingbullet]

I'm not sure many would, so taking the initiative is good. And if there is someone else willing to help out then that's just good.

[phantomtrick]

You're keeping bees? That's fine with me.

Better hope the cats don't mess around with them too much.

[abgrund]

I'm sure they won't.

[ Orbis definitely won't, because Ain can influence him not to. ]

[phantomtrick]

It'll be fine then.


Cats and bees are an interesting combination.

That's concerning. [ The bees, or the fact that Ain's taking them in? ]
I suppose you have some means of containing them? [ They see each other a lot, after all…Jakob doesn't want to get stung… Also freaky voidcats are annoying enough ]

[abgrund]

They will have a hive as a home.

[ Congrats Jakob, there are now not only voidcats, but soon voidbees. Hope you enjoy them. ]

[gentilitea]

I don't recall your temple being a suitable place even for that.

[ Besides, don't bees need like…flowers and junk? What is he even doing trying to fight Ain about this ]

[The obvious thing Ain might notice is a few sting marks on Romeo's face, he is smiling though, it had taken him a little while to read the text but he thinks he got it all right!]

It's a really good idea sir! Be careful though, those bees are really really angry.

[abgrund]

Do not worry about me. I have a plan.

What about you? You should get your injuries seen to.

[myblueskies]

I already did sir. They don't hurt too much. I hope your plan goes well!

Bees? I've heard that bee keeping can be an interesting hobby. Is it possible to collect honey from them once they're settled?

[abgrund]

I do think so. However, I am not sure if they will be edible to most people.

[cloakedinruins]

I wouldn't be using it to eat. I have a theory to test out and something tainted with this void energy might prove useful.

I think it's great that you're giving them a safe place to live. If you need help with moving them or anything, I'd be happy to lend a hand.

[abgrund]

Thank you. I have a plan but if it falls through, I may have need for your help.

Have you had experience with bees prior?

[sing_for_me]

Just these ones..

[ She had stings to prove it. ]

Just let me know when, then.
