[Cyrus]

Are you around? Are you well? Do you miss me a little?

[Mathieu]

Now. Let's use this. Otherwise I may lack courage to go through with it.

[Filter: Mathieu]

I believe I'm making a mistake — or perhaps thinking this way is the mistake. Forgive me, dearheart, to lean on you like this but my conscience and thoughts cannot be trusted.

[Filter: Cyrus]

How are you feeling?

I heard there was some trouble on Betsham Pass the other day?

[Fighters' Guild]

If anyone feels like a spar, I could use one or two to get my edge back after a few days in the saddle.

[FG Council]

It doesn't look like I'll be sent out again awhile, so I'm at your service if you need anything - just say the word.

[Cas]

So are you about ready to train, or still lying around like an indisposed young lady?

[Esther]

So I hope you're having a good feeling all doing [...] well?!

[Filter: Mathieu]

May I call on you this evening?

[Filter: Aspel]

I have not had time to check up on you but Lady Cassul, I hope this message finds you well.

[Filter: Pyr]

PILLOW FORT BUDDY!

[Filter: Public]

Chocobo riding is difficult to get used to.

In your everyday lives, which magicks, aside from Cure, have you found to be most useful to know? I ask not only of career mages but of anyone in any occupation who has studied magic in any capacity - I hope to continue my studies, but I am uncertain where best to begin.

[Audrey & Vivi]

I have been offered an amazing training opportunity. If I am willing to travel several days into the mountains, there is a sizable population of very skilled monks manning a Ranger outpost there. I am told that a week spent there will help to hone my skills and potentially aid in improving my mastery of my own chi. Councilor Liu has trained there in the past and ensures me that I will learn a great deal.

I simply could not wait until dinner to ask We can certainly discuss it this evening as well but [.............] may I please go? With escort, of course.

[Audrey]

I had thought you and Lord Norwood might appreciate some time to settle into the estate without hindrance, as well. I understand that it should be livable soon.

[Drake]

Thank you again for taking the time to counsel me, councilor.

[Theo]

If all goes well, I may be leaving the city briefly for a training opportunity. I will miss [................] Have you any helpful suggestions for traveling long distances by chocobo? I am certain you are more experienced than I.

[Esther]

Are you recovered from your journey? I attempted to call last week but was told you were gone.

[Pyr]

[.................] How late were you?

[ Council & Sage ]
Sorry this is a day late, I was still recovering from but we've returned from the monastery. We've successfully collected the scrolls, but [...] there's something else we found that was alarming. I can bring it to our next meeting.

[ Ran ]
I'm finally back! Sorry I didn't message you sooner, I was still [...] unwell. But I'm a lot better now, and it was nothing too serious! And [...] I missed you! When [......] can I see you next?

[ Cyrus ]
Thank you again for your help during the trip, and it was great to meet you! I'm feeling a lot better now!

[ Esther ]
Thank you for your help, and I'm so sorry to have bothered you!

[ Drake ]
Hi! It's been a while! How are you?

The Mages' Guild in Emillion has received word from a secluded monastery in the Outlands. They are offering to donate a caché of White Magic spell scrolls; however, as the monastery is quite out of the way of regular merchant traffic, the Guild is looking to recruit three to six volunteers to make the trek there and retrieve these scrolls, then bring them back to the city, and the Tower.

A map of the area will be provided. Considering the monastery's location, we anticipate the journey there will take more than one day. Our Guild will cover the volunteers' lodging expenses at an inn along the road, and we shall also provide for other traveling expenses.

Ideally, we seek three to four mages as well as two escorts skilled in combat; we do not anticipate this job will pose particular danger, though we must be prepared all the same. At the successful completion of the task, all volunteers will be paid 900g as well as gifted an accessory known as a Leather Gorget, which raises magic attacks when the wearer's health has reached critical levels.

If you would be interested in volunteering your services, please do contact us.


[OOC: Please also respond here for mod tracking purposes; this is MG Quest #2.]

Apparently, I've got some bastard kid in the Tenements. News to me.

[ Aspel ]
People've got too much fucking time on their hands.

[ Peony ]
Got something I need your input on. You got time today or tomorrow?

[ Theo ]
Tedious fucking patrol details.

This city is too big. Doesn't everyone get lost here? [...] Does anyone know where I can find a map of the city? Maybe one marked with all the guildhalls [.............] and places to eat and drink.

[FG Council]

I haven't had a chance to stop in yet because I couldn't find Bahamut Hall but Captain Yurgen sends his regards and says you can call on him if need be.

Please let me know how I can be of service.

[Rangers]

Who else is stationed here now? I haven't seen a familiar face in

[Cas]

You said you were coming here, but this place is too big to find a person easily. If you're reading this, answer. You'd better not be dead.

[Mathieu]

Things are not going well for the Guild. How can anyone expect otherwise. And how does yours fare?

[Mathieu & Bram]

I saw your names on the invite list for dinner at Lord Delacroix's home. If you happen to attend, it would make me very happy to see you.

[Toku]

I feel that I am overstepping my bounds but-

[Public]

I am hungoverrr

[edited later to add;][Cyrus]

I hope you're as hungover as I am. Hi by the way, we met last night. ♥

Would anyone be interested in sparring?

[ friends (if you think you're one then by all means) ]
My apologies for being somewhat distant. Had a few things to deal with.

[Filter: Mathieu]

My esteemed Lord Rozenkatz,

I am happy to inform you that the more experienced white mages have declared that I am no longer required to stay mostly in bed. Your music and flowers will be missed! Is it a little greedy if I ask for them now with how things in the city are?

How is everything on your side?

So excited, so excited, so excited!!

Make sure to be sensible during this time, everyone. I don't want us to spend most of our time trying to heal you all...

Citizens of Emillion,

With the new Founders Festival upon us, I expect that many of you are excited for what this new year our fine city's birth. While the Ivalician New Year has come, and gone, let us not forget that without this city we ourselves, would likely not be here as well. The joy with which we celebrate our city's founding, will hopefully be shared for its very creation as well.

I will look forward to seeing many of your smiling faces throughout the course of the festival, if it be for a simple greeting, or assistance with the scavenger hunt to obtain prizes of your own. I also hope that the fireworks display will be amply enjoyed, and openly offer my thanks for those involved with its continued tradition year after year.

Kind Regards,
Vivian Xi
Sage


[Mage's Guild.]

Good eve,

As mentioned above the fireworks display will continue on this year. If you are able to assist, and have not signed up for it at this time, please assure that you do so post haste. Additionally, as the White Mage's are likely to be strung rather thin due to the high volume of accidents the idiots our comrades of the Fighter's Guild are likely to incur, along with the excitement of the mass populace causing extra injury, please assure to give them as much support as you can muster over the next week as they assuredly will be in need of it.


[Councilor Matsudaira.]

I hope this night finds you well. At this time I wished to inquire with you regarding your assessment of the Task Force's current abilities and standing. While considering their composition I have become troubled by their lack of supportive and healing abilities now available to them.


[MG Task Force & Councilor Matsudaira.]

Good eve,

Considering your recent activity, and newly established status within the city, and guild, if available, I would encourage you all to take place during the parade to march beside myself and the councilors. Additionally, it may be of benefit to attempt to assemble an exhibition, or demonstration to showcase the skill, and power with which our newest members are capable of.

My sincere apologies for the short notice with which this message comes. Please notify me as quickly as you are capable if you are able to participate or not regarding the above activities.

Ah, Founder's Festival... guess I should make sure to pull out my fanciest pants and hope I don't spill anything on them.

Speaking of spilling things, is there anyone out there who might like helping me work on my ranged skills? I've been told they're abysmal.

how lovely is the return of spring, and hope!
& most of all ofc the founders festival,
gem of my generous heart.

please come and view this year's opening parade!
promised already have i not to become (the most outrageous!) spectacle yet.

and have you all plans set yet for the technology expo?
to see the marvelous machinations of our machinists?

or have you bought your tickets for the founders play?
no compliments left ungiven toward my dear thespian brothers/sisters,
& trust well that the rozenkatz box will not go unfilled.

my dance card at the ball is filling quickly,
but worry not those aspiring numbers who seek me out,
for my appearance at the sackheim is guaranteed—
and shall endure well & long into the final eve.

good blessings to you all, my friends!

Does the guild have any traditions for this Founders' Festival?

[ALMALEXIA]
do you have plans for the festival? perhaps we can get some time away from the monastery and explore. fresh air, new sights.

and there might be someone i have for you to meet.

[WOLFE]
this is your first founders festival in a while, yes? is there anything special you want to do?

[...] i have a question for you.

Already we hear so much excitement for this festival, and I shall, undoubtedly, anticipate my own appearance as well. Most humbly so, and yet.

What think we of the anniversary of our fair city's founding?

Reconsidering the wisdom of your forefathers, or will you thank them for their boldness and courage, perhaps by administering yourselves with such virtues?

Well, that was an inauspicious start to the new year. I am quite glad to be out of bed!

[FILTER: CECELIA FENNES]
The healer gave me your name before I left the clinic. Thank you for rescuing me, Miss Fennes, I am in your debt.

[...] It has also occurred to me that we haven't been properly introduced. My name is Perdita Arkady, I'm a Scholar in the Mage Guild. I do wish we had met under better circumstances.

[FILTER: JULIETTE COULOMBE]
Oh, Juliette, I am so sorry for missing your sister's engagement party! The healer insisted that I stay in bed after I was released from the clinic. I sent a message about the situation, but I'm not sure if you received it.

[FILTER: PEONY MIN]
The papers haven't piled up too high while I've been resting, have they? I had the strangest dream about a sea of papers on the seventh floor and an origami contest.
