I suspect there are those with [...] unusual plans for the Eve of Holy Saints this year?

Have you any plans for the upcoming festivities?

Does anyone else have the problem of missing the city when they're out on assignment, but then missing being out on assignment when you're back in the city????

[ CRESSIDA ]

How is your preparation going for your test? Do you need any help? I'm not scheduled on another mission until way after Holy Saints, so I'm at your disposal!

[Filter: Blades, Jareth Monaco, Siana Banes, Peony Min]
After some deliberation with my superiors, we have decided that the next course of action is to investigate the sewers. I have included all who have had a hand in this problem thus far in this filter. I think it best that we split into two groups and be as thorough as possible. The longer we linger, the more time they have to move or advance their plans, whatever they may be.

[Filter: Blades]
Any questions?

A moment of curiosity has struck. How do each of you keep warm during the winter months? Assuredly there are the standard remedies. Soup, blankets, a fire, body heat but what else does one subscribe to during particularly cool nights?

[Fighters Guild.]
Anyone who needs to spar, or is in need of additional defensive lessons, you are welcome to notify me so that we may arrange extra training.

[Mag.]
I fear I may never take a week off again with the stack of paperwork I am now responsible for.

[Seloria.]
[.....] Lunch sometime?

[Drake.]
Would you care [....] There is a stack of paperwork that shall require both of our signatures. [....] Would you care to tackle it together?

[FG Council.]
I suspect I shall be allowed to be reinstated to full duties this week, correct?

[Vivi.]
[..................] Would you care to How would this Saturday eve look for you in regards to catching up a bit?

[Li.]
Your sword.

[Jareth.] ((Added later - late afternoon))
Bring your axe to The Armory this eve.

Has anyone any suggestions for locations for a weekend trip? It has been far too long since I've last left the city.

[Guy]
I do hope you are well. It has been some time since we last spoke.

[Loch]
Good eve. I was wondering, should you be available, if you would be so kind as to agree to a meeting with me regarding some business that I have need of conducting.

[Aspel]
I have heard that you have become injured yet again. I apologize for the lateness of my inquiry; I only heard in passing this eve. Are you in need of anything?

[Audrey & Juliette]
I wished to inquire as to your plans for the weekend. As Bierfest shall be alive and well, I was wondering if either of you expect to return to the estate over the weekend. I shall be away, and certain precautions are taken that you shall need to be informed of.

If I have shit to donate, where the fuck do I take it?

[ARI CHIARO]
Thanks for the coffee. Best cup I've had in weeks.

[FATHER AMOS]
[...] There was a reward for grabbing the fucking bird. Where should I send your cut half?

Where can I buy a decent fucking hat?

Good morning! I thought I might check in; it has been some time. You are all faring well, I pray? Any plans for Holy Saints' Eve, perhaps? Do let me know how your ventures have been proceeding. And, of course, if I may be of assistance in any way.

Faram bless.

Well, well! Nothing like Eve of the Holy Saints decorations draping the Bazaar District to get us in the holiday spirit.

It seems I am once again seeking homes for a litter of kittens. I've three, all female, black and white, who should be ready to go to new homes by the end of next week. Please let me know if you may be interested in adopting one or more.

I highly recommend The Con Man! It's a new cast from the one that showed a few years ago, but this cast is absolutely phenomenal and the music is fun and the story is great! It's showing at the Sphere until Scorpio 25th, and believe me, it's worth seeing again and again!

[ Drake and Rene ]

Did we want to take that trip soon? We should really start planning it! Unless we're not going camping after all? Or if we want to go on a camping trip, we can start planning for Aries or Taurus?

[ Father Luscini ]

Protect is going really well now! I've been able to practice it every day that I can and it's getting to be more and more consistent. It's still a struggle sometimes but I'm getting closer! Thank you so much again!

[ Guy & Cy ]

I just thought I'd let you two know that Shell is getting a lot better! I'm still having a hard time with it, but practice makes perfect and I've been working on it every day even if it's just for a few minutes. I [...] wasn't sure if you were interested in my progress, but [...] just in case?.

Thank you both so much!

[ Lex ]

Hi! I don't know if you remember me, but we met at the Lux & Livre about a month ago and you recommended some white magic books for me? They've helped me out a lot with Protect and Shell. I still don't think I'm anywhere close to being able to do Wall yet though since I'm still not as consistent as I'd like to be with those two spells but I haven't been able to look at the Esuna book yet, but I know it'll be just as useful!

Anyway, you had offered that if I needed more help to ask you and [...] well, if you aren't too busy, maybe whenever you're free, you can help me with Esuna more? I'm hoping to be able to crack open the book sometime this week so I won't go into it unprepared, so don't worry, I won't waste your time! But I don't want to impose so if you're terribly busy, then I understand!

I received a most [...] troubling correspondence after service today. The contents were as follows:

[transcript.]

Given the circumstances of late, I do believe the Hauptmann would be keen on an immediate inquiry.

( A letter delivered to Siana Banes and Jareth Monaco at the guildhall. )

( A note given to Father Amos Luscini after service. )

[SELORIA]
Forgot to mention this, but I'm headed out of town. Not a long excursion this time, just a vacation. Back before you fucking know it. Want me to bring you anything back from Ordalia, like usual?

[LEX]
Got the confirmation from the inn. See you Wednesday morning?

[FRIENDS: DRAKE, ZACHEUS, DARIUS, THEO, KIERNAN, EDEN]
Gonna be out of the country pretty much until Monday. Don't fucking burn down Emillion in my absence.

[SILVER BLADES: AMOS, RAOL]
Back from your trip with Dire yet, Luscini? We're gonna have to celebrate your birthday next week, I think. I've got some vacation time coming up so I'm leaving on Wednesday, and I'll be back by the Harvest Festival. VKpl, you're in command.

[STORM]
You're on leave until Monday. Enjoy your freedom, kid. [...] And thanks for the recommendation, I'll let you know how the town turns out.

Good evening! It appears I will be away for the coming week. All has been arranged so that (worry not!) Cathedral services shall go on uninterrupted. However, I sincerely apologise for any missed appointments. I am happy to schedule make-up sessions for magical and spiritual instruction as needed.

Many thanks for your kind understanding, and Faram bless.

RiCa.
I am certain you saw Sir Dire's announcement! The hauptmann has recommended I take along Filip.

Can someone come down to village of Grenoble in the Outlands and perform a service for the dead? They were buried a week ago, but I feel it would at least give the villagers some piece of mind. They don't have a church or holy person out here.

I'm sorry for resorting to a network message but I swear, you have to be the hardest man to track down in all of Valendia.

[ FRIENDS: LEX; MERRI; PEONY; RENÉ; AMOS; OTHERS? ]
And I want to see all of you, of course. I thought about surprising you, but I figured you might be busy with [...] whatever you may have going on. I hear things have been really crazy around here recently.

[ Public ]

Good morning, Merrion. I've sorted out the scroll—very tricky toward the end, I must say! Please apprise me of when you would like to retrieve it and begin practice.

If you are genuinely curious about

I don't know what prompted it, but earlier today I had this long conversation with my eldest brother about why he decided to be a dragoon, and why me, an archer. He'd never told me until today that when he was young, he wanted to be a knight first, but changed his mind later. It was pretty eye-opening, I won't lie. And strange, because he never likes to be serious with me.

For me, I always wanted to be an archer. It's why I picked up the bow and arrow even before I could enlist into the Guild. All these years later, I've never thought of doing anything else, even when I respect other classes for what they do, and I've never regretted my decision for a second.

So I thought I'd pose these questions, for serious conversation's sake: If you're in a Guild, why did you choose your present class? Was it what you wanted when you first started, or did you have different dreams? And if you're not a Guild member, why did you choose your way of life now, provided you'd had the choice?

[ DRAKE. ]
Are you doing anything for your birthday, sir?

a little after this -- [ LILLE & ZACHEUS. ]
If I wanted to try out for the Rangers, what would I have to do? Assume I know nothing if it helps.
