Emillion Communications Network

Long time no convene, ladies! Good news for those who are bored: I've spoken to a couple of you about this already, but for those of you who are in town and not gallivanting around Ordalia, say, you should clear your schedules for next weekend. Friday, Cancer 27th. There's a fascinating event going on at the EmMA and I'd like all hands on deck. Generous payouts will be provided upon sale.

Miss du Gard, I'll be setting up those cameras you provided, and I'll be in need of another pair of eyes on the day itself. Care to lend a hand?


[RHYS]
Borrowing your girl for a bit. Don't mind me.

[LIONEL]
I'm assuming you also received this invitation to dinner at the parents', if you weren't outright responsible for it.

Thought you'd be back by now. Unless you and Cian killed each other at some point in your romantic vacation.

[ Lionel ]
[......] What do you like to drink? I'll find you a bottle, as thanks.

[Silver Blades]
The Hauptmann has contacted me in regards to a mission. Settle your affairs and prepare to move within the next seven days. We are headed to the mountains for an Artifact. Details to follow. Questions are welcome.

[Privated separately to: Almalexia Lliryn, Lionel Baines, and Siri D'Albis]
Hello. I am contacting you on the direction of Hauptmann Athos Hauville of the Order of the Silver Blades. It has come to the Church's attention that there is the possibility of a Holy Artifact being hidden away in a distant mountain range. You are being contacted because your skills may be useful in its retrieval. The mission to find this Artifact is likely to be a dangerous one, and so your joining the Blades on this task is entirely up to you. If you have questions, feel free to ask here.

Thank you for your time. Faram be with you.

Does anyone know where to get airship fuel to guzzle for energy? Do I hit up the Aerodrome for a fix? Coffee makes me crash, tea's too [....] soothing. If I have to look at another geoma textbook, my eyes are gonna fall out of my fucking skull.

[ DRAKE. ]
My mother is still in disbelief that you came by to help. She's going to offer you free things, but you can refuse her if you want. Councilor Matsudaira does. He thinks it's weird.

[ RYUL & ARI. ]
Is it possible to have a hangover for three fucking days? Fuck.

[ LIONEL. ]
Hey bud, I have a favor question.

[ WOLFE. ]
So my mom invited you to dinner this Friday. And by invited you I mean she told me to tell you you're invited. Nothing fancy, just food.

[ MAG. ]
I feel like it's our duty as Ordalian redheads to have drinks sometime. Ladies gotta stick together.

( An official letter. )

I wonder if there are any recommendations for [...] Ordalian food in Emillion?

[Lionel.]

I have been in consideration of late. Perhaps you can offer your insight?

[Merrion & Peony - separately.]

[...] Would you mind if I asked a peculiar question?

[Evander.]

I have attempted to follow your previous recommendation. Might we

[Heron.]

Have your training classes progressed well of late?

[Shortly after this. SORRY FOR THE BACKDATING, I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL WE LOGGED THIS]

I'm taking any and all recommendations for the best plumbers, contractors, and window installation in Emillion. References, please.

I hate women.

[DAMIA]
So I have a bit of a tale for you, involving all the disasters that beset me upon leaving your apartment.

[RHYS & TOM]
I don't care if you're still hungover from New Year's Eve -- we're going drinking this week, and you have no choice in the matter.

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.

I wonder if there are not available opportunities for one to gain [...] supplementary field training beyond that which?

Also, I believe it might perhaps be of interest to others to know that a keen understanding of calculable trajectory and wind speed may benefit those attempting to deter certain seasonal activities.

Notice to interested parties,

The Black Lion Company will be holding another open recruitment mission this month. Departure's on the 26th of Capricorn, leaving for the southernmost reaches of Valendia and estimated to return to civilization on the 28th. The expedition will be lead through remarkably wild territories, and for those who have joined us before, please make your usual arrangements. Those new to our operations - filter me directly for further details.

We're being funded by the Ivalician Historical Society this round, and though you'll be among the regulars of the Company, escorting these men and women will take some priority. Among other things. As always and for the sake of my second-in-command, please be prompt with your notice that so we may make the necessary arrangements.

Now's your chance.

[Lionel]

I have been reading the book you are recommending. It is very good! But, I must be saying I am still confused by Ajora. How is this person like a god but also not?

lionel, lex, rictor.
We have begun to implement the procedure. You are both well, I pray?

peony.
14 confirmed cases, 5 in critical condition, around a dozen more suspected. I suppose it is too much to hope that the clinics have fared any better.

loch.
It would seem your suspicions have come to pass.

vera.
Your condition, Vera?

cian, later.
You as well then?

[MILES' MERRY WOMEN + LOCH]
One month on, one month off, and now we're back in the game. I've our next target: the Valendian Museum of Natural History. Having bribed a few caterers, I know that they'll be closing early on Sagittarius 3rd due to a private engagement wrapping up. So we'll strike then, Faram and schedules permitting. Be sure to clear yours, if you're in. I'll need all of you to go after the Coeurl.

I'll be scoping it out some more this week if anyone wishes to join (I hear they've a rather lovely exhibit on butterflies!). On the night, bring what you can to safely disable guards, alarms, and traps alike. Blueprints will be couriered over: your homework, ladies and gentlewomen.

[DAMIA]
Your bed is uncomfortable and your apartment needs better decoration than empty bottles of alcohol.

[LIONEL]
[...] Don't worry. I'll invite them to the Faram's Mass show myself.

[Lionel.]

Have you any thoughts on the meeting with Father Luscini?

[Merrion.]

Are your studies with Esuna progressing well?

[Rictor.]

If anything should [...] I have spent much time of late tending to those with the flu. I expect you shall not be amongst them?

Oh, the weekend is here at last! A birthday gone by and I think I might treat myself to something. Are there any seasonal specials in the bakeries? The Bazaar District is already sparkling with decorations, but I've not yet browsed the stores myself this week.

Well,

As there has been much talk of sickness, I would like to remind everyone that the Cathedral mages are at all times equipped to offer their healing services free of charge. They would only be happy to assist you in any way possible, so please don't hesitate to see them if you are feeling under the weather. Better to be safe than sorry, I find!

almalexia lliryn & lionel baines.
Have you a few moments to spare today, mayhaps? I am in need of your assistance for a matter that requires some discretion.

rangers.
Might you be willing to entertain a few inquiries?

peony min.
I've finalised the Cathedral's emergency response procedure and shall be educating our mages shortly. Has there been any progress, as yet?

I got nothing against the stink of fish, and I like living by the sea. So fuck you all.

[ Damia ]
Looks like we set some tongues wagging, darling. I'd be heartbroken you're using me to get you a ship, but since I'm apparently using you to move up in the world, I gotta say, sounds like this works out all right for both of us.

[ Ash ]
Nobles sure know how to use their imagination. Flirted a tad with Damia at a ball and apparently that means we're having wild sex all over the place. Leave her in a heartbeat for you, though. Lacks excitement. She probably couldn't kick my ass like you did last week.

[ Lan ]
Got your delivery. You'll hear from me in a few days.

As a matter of personal curiosity, might there be reccomendations on ways one can improve their knowledge on current city laws and regulations?

[Storm.]

Are you well? Have you progressed well with the reading?

[Amos.]

Perhaps, if you feel the timing appropriate, we may attempt to advance to a demonstration of the research material soon?

[Heron.]

If a suitable opportunity presents itself, I would like to offer my assistance to you once again. Perhaps we could meet and discuss the topic further?

[Vivi.]

[...] May I ask a peculiar question?

I seem to have found myself with an inordinate amount of treats from guising last Thursday, if anyone would like to relieve me of some.

[ TOKU. ]
Would you perhaps be amenable to tea sometime?

[ PEONY. ]
May I ask for your assistance with a task?

[ PENNY & CID. ]
I apologize for being somewhat scant as of the last several weeks. Are both of you well? How are your experiments going, Cid?

[ RENE, MERRI & LIONEL, seperately. ]
Has Scorpio been treating you well?
