Emillion Communications Network

I will be unavailable this afternoon; please drop any documents needing review in the slot in my office door and see another member of the council with urgent requests. My apologies for the inconvenience.

[MG Council]

I am afraid that yesterday's cough has worsened and I am quite ill. If I am needed for anything urgent, the network may be best through the weekend.

[Perdita]

Please take the day off, unless you prefer to speak with Councilors Matsudaira and Priddy about tasks you might perform.

[Siri]

My apologies, but I must reschedule this afternoon's session. Will you be available next week?

[Riyeko]

I apologize for the suddenness of the request, but might you be available to come by this afternoon? I am unfortunately feeling rather ill, but I assure I will not keep you long.

[Twins]

[.................................................] If by some chance you had thought to come visit this weekend, please do not. I would not wish my cold upon you.

We're doing something for your birthday this week. You don't get to say no.

[ MAGE TASK FORCE. ]
So we should celebrate or something. Grumps, you have to come too.

[ ARI. ]
Hey, you been talking to Nate at all?

It seems that Flynn has found a litter of puppies abandoned by their mother that are huddled in the alley, and as I cannot house them all at the tavern, I will be needing someone who wishes to give one or all of them a good home. There are three in total.

Please do let me know if you are interested.

[ Aspel, Arielle, Magnolia ]
Thank you all for your assistance this past weekend. I apologize for the inconvenience that my [...] indisposed state might have caused. I shall endeavor to not have it happen again.

[ Heron ]
Have you been well? You have been far more quiet lately than even I have anticipated.

[ Reinholdt ]
I apologize for my absence this past weekend. I went to retrieve an item and some bandits had sought my company for a time. Shall I make it up to you?

[ Audrey & Juliette ]
I shall need the both of you to come to the main house some eve. There is the matter of inheritance, and as you are both my beneficiaries, I should like to go over the terms.

[ Ophion ]
I believe I shall be needing some additional lessons. Recent events have caused me to evaluate my usefulness.

To my very thoughtful admirer - or should I perhaps call you my number one fan instead? - my thanks for a very thoughtful gift.

And as for the rest of you, does anyone know of any parties that require crashing by a bored bard who was allowed to leave rehearsal two blessed hours earlier than anticipated?

i've left some bowls of mint pastilles & chocolate (beware, the allergic; they contain hazelnuts) in the ground floor of the mages tower, for any interested parties in need of some sweets on this already sweet-endowed day. for any fighters & bards: apologies, you've evidently chosen the wrong guild.


and i realise, too late, that it's been quite a while since i even used this communicator properly. wilham wolfe here -- i've relatively recently returned to emillion, for those who know me. knew m  i believe i've done most of the rounds but i'm sure there's more of you i haven't run into yet.

[mage task force]
congratulations, all! it was a pleasure working alongside you, and i look forward to more in future.

[toku]
are there any particular strengths or weaknesses you have within geomancy itself?

[flynn]
your mother's business must be making an absolute killing this week.

[merrion]
i'm free for that talk anytime. ideally, with caffeine.

[araceli]
happy birthday, araceli. dinner tonight with the disciples, as last year? our amenities are a bit better this time around, granted.

YEAH LETTER!!! who got a LTTER

[ FRIENDS. ]
'ml an officnl member of a taksbforce!!

taskforce

Delivered to Guy Lenard, Hippolyta Flynn, Lionel Baines, Ophion Barnard, Sabina Domicetti, Siri D’Albis and Wilham Wolfe

( An official letter. )

Well then, now that we're moving toward the holiday of candy hearts and pink banners around the shops, it must be asked. Are there any interesting parties coming along soon as well, do you suppose?

[Zacheus.]

Strangely enough, I've taken to cleaning out the rubbish in my apartment! Any suggestions on how to be rid of all this extra [...] clutter?

[Elvira - UNSENT.]

Is this When you asked

PUBLIC.
The park looks particularly beautiful this time of year—at least in the early hours. There is something special about peaceful, untouched snow, isn't it? I've yet to tire of the sight!

FILTERED TO: fighters guild.
There's nothing like brothers and sisters in arms sharing a meal at the mess hall there? I would be delighted to provide desserts (for Shieldwyrm, Hellwyrm?) someday; we could try a potluck dinner.

FILTERED TO: fighters guild ladies.
If there is anything I could do to assist you lovely women, do let me know. Now, I don't have a squire myself but don't think that will stop me from playing aunt or sister to the young ladies of our guild. Healthy friendship—or a sense of sorority for us, do you think?—can overcome anything, I'd say!

FILTERED TO: guy lenard.
[...] Quick query, if I may!

FILTERED TO: church ladies. [BACKDATED TO EARLIER THIS WEEK. SO SORRY. this is a repost is the ladies who lunch invite to fit w/ edits to the ooc post here.]
Hello, hello, ladies!

Why, it has been some time since we've had a regular meeting and I quite miss your lovely company. I would be delighted to invite you all to Cafe du Ciel Rose after mass this Sunday. (My treat!) Afterwards, we could even visit the children at [tenements orphanage].

It would be a pleasure to have you!

Good day,

I am posting to bring you an update on the arrangements for the second half of the taskforce exam. As you are aware, the interview and magical skills test (which you may have already taken, or be about to) was only one part of the screening process. A practical skills test will take place this upcoming Wednesday, outside city walls. You will be expected to demonstrate your spellwork is reliable outside controlled situations such as the first test, and show that you can work in a team.

We shall leave at 6AM on Wednesday morning from the North Gates. You are encouraged to prepare potions or any other items you would normally bring into battle with you. There will be no more details provided about the nature of the exam until our group arrives at the site. If you have any other questions, however, please do let me know.

[ MG ]
It appears there was some minor trouble in one of the Black Magic casting rooms on the third floor. The matter is being dealt with as of this moment, so the room in question and the two adjacent will be usable again before the evening. Apologies for the inconvenience.

[ Siri, Saffron ] separately
I hope you are settling in well in your new surroundings. If there is anything you need, or you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Council.

[ Cecilia ]
Thank you for agreeing to meet with me on such short notice the other day. [....] I hope you succeeded in finding a hairbrush to your liking. If you have any other concerns, the Council is always open to questions.

[ Hippolyta ]
I believe I promised I would help you with your meditation. I've some time on Monday evening, if you are free then. [....] There is also a matter I wish to discuss with you, so if it is no trouble, perhaps we shall kill two birds with one stone.

[ Peony ]
Have you gleaned any new information about the man who led the beast into the city? [....] I was also hoping we might speak regarding one of the new mages, Cecilia Fennes. Her transfer letter was [...] quite vague.

This is such a big city! Wow. And everything is so pretty. I think I will enjoy living and learning here in Emillion very, very much. Even the apples are more delicious here. City apples! I wonder what other foods are good here? City bread? City bananas?

filter: mages

Hello! My name is Cecilia Fennes and I have just come to your city to study with all of you from Viura in Ordalia. I am currently studying to be a black mage and have previously studied blue magic extensively, so I hope to also help others learn as well.

Is there anything else I need to do now that I've settled in? I bought everyone soap.

[Toku.]

Pardon me if I'm mistaken, Councilor, but I've been hearing rumors about a taskforce? I'll admit to being a little out of the loop!

As a Valendian girl born and bred, having just celebrated the new year, I feel compelled to ask if anyone else has made any horribly optimistic new year's resolutions. Just for curiosity's sake, mind, and the inevitable self-comparison(!)

[RiLi]
A question. Is this Riyeko Lionward, the machinist?

[Cian]
Gl

Catching up on work after that plague is atrocious. It's been a month, and yet.

Someone please tell me there weren't really giant bugs rampaging through the Aerodrome yesterday?

Well now, since all holiday excitement seems to have finally died down, I don't imagine there are any interesting anecdotes to be shared? This time of year, I'd say we'd all do well with a story or two while trying to keep warm.

If anyone would like a [...] kitten, my sister found a few playing in the trash near our house a couple days ago. They don't appear to belong anyone, so five four five four are available to anyone who's interested. Unclaimed kittens will be going to the animal shelter this weekend.

[...] We're also taking suggestions for names. Lille has already rejected "Sir Pounce II."

On behalf of the Mages Guild, I would like to thank all of the white mages and volunteers who have assisted with the sick over the past couple of weeks. Without your help and know-how, many more would have been lost before the cure was found.

A special thanks to the volunteers who went and obtained the herb that was needed for the cure. We can only imagine the dangers that you faced and the risk you put yourselves in order to come to Emillion's aide, and we have nothing but the utmost gratitude and respect for the sacrifices you made for the city and more importantly, its citizens.

And, finally, thank you to those who made the cure from the herb. The time and effort you have put into the research and development of the cure has saved hundreds of lives.

[ Flynn ]
I know you said you didn't want to be publicly acknowledged, but truly, thank you, too. I know it must have been exhausting what you did, but I we can't thank you enough. Please, enjoy your week off!

keep away fr

After several valiant attempts to reorganize my schedule and clean my office, a number of important matters have been brought to my attention! Foremost, if there are those currently interested in the synergist arts, new and eager scholars of support magic, I have now found myself with an unfortunate amount of free time to do away with.

If you are interested in learning new spells, well then, please do let me know, won't you?

[Peony.]

That in mind, Councilor, are there any pertinent duties around the Tower that could use my expertise?

[Zacheus.]

Heavy frost kicking in yet?
