Emillion Communications Network

If anyone is in need of assistance with something I can reasonably help, please do feel welcome to reach out to me.


[Mage's Guild Council.]
I will dispense with formalities in this instance as I am certain we have more than enough work with which to fill our days.

I recognize that the following days, weeks, and potentially months, will be trying upon your guild, and yourselves. I also recognize that after an event like what has transpired, people will be scared, and looking for others to blame. That there is potential for back lash, and with the precarious state of affairs, there is a high likelihood for it to occur to innocent, good, strong, kindhearted people who have done no wrong. Times like these are when scapegoats are created for crimes not their fault, and villains are made of people with beautiful souls.

With these things in mind, and my own personal, strong desire to assure that as little harm come from this event, as we have already lost so much, I would like to offer what spaces I am in command of - as my own personal choice, and not connected to my guild, or my position - as asylum for those of your guild who need to seek refuge from harm, of fear of the outside when required.

However, I will not do so without permission of your council. Thus, this message is to offer what I have, and seek your permission to offer your guild safe house within the Armory, my apartment, and potentially my office at Bahamut hall as needed for anyone who must escape the outside world temporarily whilst in the duration of such a trying time.

Thank you for your time.

I have drafted up a public address, but feel we may best be suited by calling an all guild public forum after such terrible events. Your thoughts?

( Delivered to Ari this afternoon: The boy who drops it off has little to say, but he tries to smile regardless. )

( Delivered to Drake this afternoon: A hesitant squire approaches with a handkerchief wrapped plate. )

I am looking to take on 2 new hires for the clinic.

[Ridley]
Are those housekeepers still available?

[Emily]
Did your parents survive?

[Damia]
Are your services still available?

[Darius]
Are you alive?

ooc: though it is not being announced, the MG Council will be giving up a fraction of their salary until such a time as reconstruction efforts are complete, and said reconstruction efforts are taking part as specified in the mod post, and below.

To all citizens of Emillion,

This is a message from Emillion’s Mages’ Guild: a message of apology which we hope will at least be considered, if not accepted, by those reading it on this day. Our words can only convey so much, and there is a grief for which not even the most skilled Orator’s words could speak, which can only be mended by the respect for what was lost in every action; perhaps not even then. And yet, there are words that cannot go unsaid.

The tragedy that recently befell the city has torn the districts asunder, and though it will take time, buildings and property can be restored to their original conditions. Hume losses are far more difficult to recover from. Not even the most skilled of our healers could bring the deceased back, or mend their loved ones’ suffering. The Mages’ Guild would like to offer our most heartfelt apologies to every citizen reading this, and every victim that could not be saved, and our most sincere thanks to those who gave their lives to ensure others could live. Your sacrifice shall be honored, and remembered.

It is with a heavy heart that we are conveying this message, for the part played by our Guild in this tragedy cannot be ignored. At this time, we cannot be sure what led our former Guildmaster, the lady Vivian Xi, to embark on such a destructive rampage and not only forsake her duty, shared by us all, to keep the city safe, but furthermore turn against it and its citizens. However, an investigation of the events leading up to the tragedy, as well as the monster that accompanied her, is currently being carried out by our Guild, in order to ensure that this tragedy may never be repeated again.

Rebuilding efforts are currently underway, and will have the full support of our Guild. Furthermore, those who require healing may be treated by our white mages at clinics free of charge, and the cost of crystal transport between the districts for the general public will also be assumed by our Guild. These measures are nowhere near enough to compensate for the damage that was done, but we hope to atone for the recent tragedy by ensuring that Emillion can be rebuilt twice as strong as before. This is where our duty lies, and we will see to it that it is fulfilled, to the best of our ability.

Any persons in need of assistance at this time are welcome to come to our Guild; we will attempt to help in whichever way we can.

Sincerely,

Toku Matsudaira
Mages’ Guild Council

[.........] Please tell me you're okay.

This is likely common knowledge at this point, but if anyone is in need of healing or supplies, the Grande Cathedral has opened its doors to the public and will remain so for the foreseeable future. If someone you know is in need of a warm meal, clothing, or a safe space to sleep, please send them in the direction of the Cathedral.

Additionally, a small section of the Necrohol has been damaged by this weekend's events. Any available Holy Knights or users of holy magic are requested to do some patrol if at all possible.

Personal matters first: I am very proud to have worked beside each of you during so difficult a time. This weekend you each proved yourselves to be unshakable and strong. Well done.

Business next: First, it is on the order of the Hauptmann that we all spend the next two days resting. I have been given specific instruction to ensure that the lot of you sleep, even if it means I must sit beside you and watch you do so. I will be very unhappy if I have to sit by any bedsides. As far as I can tell, the dormitories are still in order. If any of you have personal matters, see to them and then heal, sleep, and eat. We've plenty of work to pick up on once we've taken our time.

Second, no one is to publicly speak ill of the Mages Guild. I do not want to see any badmouthing from any of you on devices or hear about anything you've said.

Please address questions to the Korporal or the Hauptmann for the first half of the morning. I've something to see to. I will be back as quickly as I can.
