We have all endured a great deal of difficulties, and worked very hard over the past week for that I thank each and every one of you.

At this time, I would like to take a moment to offer a bit of respite for those who may be in need of such, or the mind to partake in form of a simple game. It will not be much, for that I fully admit, and certainly we should work to give you all better reward but for now, I believe simple may be best.

The name of the game is: Would you rather?

The rules are simple, pose two questions to a person of your choice who chimes in upon this post. They then will respond with third preened out of the two options presented, in some way or another of their choice of course.

As an example, I will pose to the first person to respond: Would you rather sail upon the seas on a ship, or fly upon the skies in an airship?

I know lots of people have lost their homes and their shops and their livelihoods but there is something much more sinister about the orphanage being smashed to dust. Loads of these kids haven't ever had homes and only have known the orphanage, and now that's gone. I plan on donating personal funds and manpower to the cause of rebuilding the orphanage. In the meantime my mum has opened her inn's vacant rooms for orphans, either ones who were so before the [...] events or ones made orphans by it. If you see any children, or mothers with babes that need a place, just ask around for Magrat Miller.

And obviously there's ale there, too, if you need a different kind of balm for your hurts.

may faram bless us all on this most solemn sunday,
and many well-wishes offered to all & sundry!

as our shared city seeks out reconstruction,
we in the bards guild work to aid in efforts.
should any find themselves within the theatre district,
i entreat thee to make note of nearest donation stalls.
whatever may be spared for those in need ofc,
we would certainly be glad to re-disperse.

[Councils.]

i will insist no hesitation on your parts,
should you seek to request further aid!
a difficult time this shall certainly prove.

[Thieves Guild.]

& in consideration of wealth/goods,
please do keep the council thus apprised,
of all damages incurred by the assault.
as busy as we are of late i would entreat also,
please relay messages to the spymaster to myself.

[...] a word to you?

Anyone seen the princess Aisling?

[Ash]

Fuck's sake, princess, answer already.

[Fee]

Going to hope your luck was better than mine.

[Siri]

[....................................................] You alive, prophetess?

[Friends - apply liberally, but judiciously.]

The Ruby can provide shelter tonight, if you need healing, sleep, or sustenance. The immediate area has been cleared, for the time being.

[Mathieu]

Alive, dear?

[Redwald]

Hope you haven't dashed off playing hero.

[Ash]

Report, if you would.

[...][Miles]

Report, if you would.

[Gillian]

Hope I haven't need of a new head of security.

[Ari]

Report, if you would, darling?

Another festival, I'm so excited.

[ CIAN. ]
We should meet again before I bag myself a mangy cat. No complications on your end?

[ MILES, unsent. ]
Enjoy your fucking fake wedding

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!

[ Loch & Miles ]
You guys got time to swing by? I need to ask you something.

[ Lena ]
Sorry about last night. Something came up and I didn't have time to give you a heads up. Everything's fine; should be in tonight. At least, I think everything is

Take it easy today, yeah?

Got your safeguard at the office. You can come pick it up whenever, just let me know.

[ Riv ]
You get invited to the engagement party this weekend?

[ Miles ]
What would milord like as an engagement gift?

[ Lena ]
Heard some rumblings about illegal cargo coming in through the Aerodrome before the end of the month. The hume kind of illegal cargo.

What have you resolved, Ivalicians? I'm always interested by the fact most New Year's determinations seem to be about deprivation and restraint. One never sees more than a handful of people resolving to 'try new things.' For example.

Congrats to the happy couple. Gonna be a hell of a party.

[ Miles ]
Seriously? Audrey? How much she paying you?

[ Audrey ]
Want me to make sure you have prettier hair at your wedding than the groom? He's fightin' in the Ring.

[ Cian ]

Ran into your new friend at Church last weekend.

[ Loch ]
I think I might need you to knock me upside the fucking head.

( You've got mail! )

I'm going dancing this weekend. Which of you are gonna come keep little old me company?

[ Lena ]
Been meaning to talk to you. I've got tails for the foreseeable future. Some shit seems to be going down, so Ci wanted me to give you a heads up, keep a look out for trouble. Neil and Kirill'll stay outside, per usual.

[ TG ]
Tell me something is going down soon. I feel the need to get the fuck out of town.

[ RING PARTICIPANTS ]
Fights'll be 29 PISCES. Team tournament. You want to partner with someone who ain't one of us, talk to me.

[ Hier ]
You got some free time 29 Pisces or is the fiancee forbidding you from playing with the big girls?

[ Cian ] after this
Sorry 'bout earlier. Should've sent a message ahead.

[ Aspel Cassul ]
I hear you're the one to talk to about weapons.

Considering we successfully kept our city from a Fire elemental invasion, we should all go out and get drunk. First round is on me, for those cheap bastards out there (Hey, Ryul).

[Mathieu]

Hey Flower-bard-dude Mathieu, you okay bro? No one set you on fire, right?

I take my hat off to you, ladies and gentlemen who fought yesterday to ward off disaster yet again. Thanks for your efforts, as always.

[ Thieves' Guild ]
Glad I ain't caught the heroism bug yet. Must be something in the water. Spotted even a few of our own bards sporting bandages galore. Hear it was cold as fuck out there, too.

[ Miles & Tom ]
And a little birdie tells me you two became accidental heroes. Hope your completely legal cargo didn't catch fire, and you didn't freeze your balls off, etc.

[ Damia ]
This birthday tradition of yours, the one where you punch people. Think I could borrow it for an evening? I'll return it intact, pinky promise.

[ Ash ]
For my thirty-first birthday I get to suffer through a dull-as-fuck family lunch. Come save me, I'll even swoon for you.

Some days aren't worth the oxygen.

[ Pyr ]
Training update. Go.

[ Peony ]
Your brother. He got interests aside from eating?

[ Cian ]
Got a question for you. You know my partner, Banes?

[ FKT ]

Tell me neither of you are planning a short walk off the pier.

One can't imagine anyone needs reminding, but all parties considering travel before the thaw--reconsider.

[THIEVES GUILD]

One hears things have been eventful in my absence. One also hears 'eventful' might be a charitable description.

And what is the gossip for today? Has anything interesting and unusual occurred that we might make note of, the articles in the morning's newspaper regretfully lacking in insight as they were?

I understand, or have been told, that the day of Saint Namorados has preoccupied most minds. Forgiveness then, for the pursuit of other, gentler affairs—if we may so call love a gentle thing.

Heads-up to those feeling less than festive on this day: down at the docks we have managed to repel the invasion of pink paper hearts and love ballads and are continuing to hold the line. Should anybody feel the need to take refuge.

[ Ofelia ]
Thanks for the info again. Expect I'll be otherwise engaged this evening, but you'll have your payment in the morning.

[ Ash ]
All better now, I hope. Need anything, let me know.
