[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?

Fortunate friends! Awe-inspiring Associates! Superior Supporters!

[Genevieve.]

My most marvelous matriarch. Your precious plans this Founders Fest?

Ah, Founders. Cheap alcohol, rides and food. I'm down.

[ Loch ]
Same as every year, yeah? This year I want pistachio.

[ Cian ]
You going to the ball?

[ Miles ]
Break a leg tomorrow.

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!

With Founders' coming up, was wondering if anyone knew whether there'd be any good sales. I've got some gil to burn.

[ Loch ]
Why the hell do people seem to think I want to be in charge?

[ Miles ]
Anything coming up for the merry women? Think we could

[ Cian ]
Meeting was last night. Nothing worth your time.

[ Ofelia ]
Got a request for you if you ain't swamped.

Hap
Happy bi
Why the fu

Happy birthday, Ci. Here's to another year. [......] Look on your roof.

[ 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

[ Cian ]

Take it easy today, yeah?

[after this, before this]

Think I might need to get out of town again.

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.

Sorry I haven't gotten in touch with you since [.........] Howaito De, but I was wondering if you wanted to go out with me [......] tonight! To a dinner and a show! I know it's kind of last minute but my friend who gave me these tickets got sick but I'm not sick! And, well, if you want to, let me know!

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.

I'd ask if we can all resolve to have fewer near-death experiences this year, but that'd be optimistic. Here's to surviving another year, I guess.

[High Stakes Group]

New year, new schedule. Next game's Aries 8th, Docks warehouse. Start at 11:30pm.

[Ash]

Marek won't be bothering you again, [...] Any more trouble since the last bit got cleared up?

Also, I've got something for you.

[Riyeko]

I need something made, but I'm not sure it's viable, since I've never seen one before. Essentially: some kind of door or window scanner that emits magic. Doesn't have to be much - just enough to clear Vanish. Think it's doable?

[Fee]

Got an assignment for you, if you're interested in something a little out of the norm.

[Siri]

You interested in another flight sometime soon? Might not be as exciting as our last one.

[Aud]

Looking forward to your engagement party, tiny. You going to put on a show for us?

[late afternoon][Ash]

The stars will be bright tonight but not yours. There is a long way you can still fall.

[added later; mid-evening]

[Cian]

There are rats under the floorboards, gnawing.

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 ]
Hear about
You planning on
Fuck th

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.

anjou corsair ships smell like shit. 0/10 would not recommend

FILTERED TO GILLIAN.

i'm here

FILTERED TO BLACK LIONS.

i got you assholes souvenirs

knuckle bones mostly

What is in the big hole? Maybe people live in it. Maybe there's an entire underground city beneath Emillion. They have an entire market and lifestyle there where they bump around in the darkness with melted candles and lit torches. They live in the caves they carve out. When they come out topside, they shrink back from the unfamiliar sun. Like a children's tale!

Also, I do not recommend taking a spoonful of cinnamon or eating dirt. But especially the first, it was truly awful.

[ Ari ]
I'm going to take a wild guess here and say your conversation this morning didn't go so well.

[ Aspel ]
Leaving the guildhall now, I'll be home in about ten minutes. I hope you haven't been moving around too much I'll make you tea when I get there in case you were thinking about getting up to do that yourself. [...] How are you feeling?

[ Peony, Ash ] separately
Hope your injuries are mending well.

[ Kiernan, Lavitz ]
You two didn't get too roughed up in the fight yesterday, did you?

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.
