Emillion Communications Network

[ Ari ]
Will you please talk to me? We don't have to talk about [....] what happened, but I'm worried, and I need to make sure you're okay.

Please?

[ Aspel ]
You can't ignore me forever, Aspel.

[ Ric ]
[...............] Have you heard? About Cress and [....] Zacheus?

[ Flynn ]
I was wondering if I could pick your brain about [....] Asura.

My mom is at the clinic, still unconscious. If anyone comes near the store while it's blocked off, you're going to answer to me, and I am not fucking joking.

[ FRIENDS & TASK FORCE (+ TOKU). ]
[...] How's everyone?

[ SIRI. ]
Better?

Our thoughts go out to everyone that has been affected by this tragedy. For the displaced, there is some room at the standing guild halls, but we won't be able to accommodate everyone, unfortunately. If you know of anywhere with spare rooms or beds, please let us know so that we can make sure everyone has a place to sleep.

If there is anything that I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask.

[ FG. ]
I am more thankful than words can say about how quickly everyone rallied together. To everyone, thank you.

That being said, this wasn't without casualty. Known losses?

[ FG Council. ]
Thoughts on how to respond to all of this? We need to do something.

Also, the Mages' Guild. There's going to be backlash. What do we do about it?

[ Aspel. ]
Tell me you're okay. Please.

[ Ari. ]
How're you holding up, darling? Do you need anything?

[ Rictor, Merri. ] separately
You alive?

[ Squires + Juliette. ]
Locations? I want to make sure you're all

[ Lex. ]
I heard you were out there. Are you okay?

This city is Faram fucking fucked.


On another note, my sword needs some polishing. That was not a euphemism.

Citizens of Emillion,

With the new Founders Festival upon us, I expect that many of you are excited for what this new year our fine city's birth. While the Ivalician New Year has come, and gone, let us not forget that without this city we ourselves, would likely not be here as well. The joy with which we celebrate our city's founding, will hopefully be shared for its very creation as well.

I will look forward to seeing many of your smiling faces throughout the course of the festival, if it be for a simple greeting, or assistance with the scavenger hunt to obtain prizes of your own. I also hope that the fireworks display will be amply enjoyed, and openly offer my thanks for those involved with its continued tradition year after year.

Kind Regards,
Vivian Xi
Sage


[Mage's Guild.]

Good eve,

As mentioned above the fireworks display will continue on this year. If you are able to assist, and have not signed up for it at this time, please assure that you do so post haste. Additionally, as the White Mage's are likely to be strung rather thin due to the high volume of accidents the idiots our comrades of the Fighter's Guild are likely to incur, along with the excitement of the mass populace causing extra injury, please assure to give them as much support as you can muster over the next week as they assuredly will be in need of it.


[Councilor Matsudaira.]

I hope this night finds you well. At this time I wished to inquire with you regarding your assessment of the Task Force's current abilities and standing. While considering their composition I have become troubled by their lack of supportive and healing abilities now available to them.


[MG Task Force & Councilor Matsudaira.]

Good eve,

Considering your recent activity, and newly established status within the city, and guild, if available, I would encourage you all to take place during the parade to march beside myself and the councilors. Additionally, it may be of benefit to attempt to assemble an exhibition, or demonstration to showcase the skill, and power with which our newest members are capable of.

My sincere apologies for the short notice with which this message comes. Please notify me as quickly as you are capable if you are able to participate or not regarding the above activities.

( Delivered to Hippolyta Flynn at some point during the day. )

I turn 26 tomorrow. If I feel old, Wolfe, you must feel like over a hundred. I'm probably doing a drinking thing if anyone wants to come by. Spoony Bard at 7 or something.

Now for my deed as a good daughter: flower orders, individual cut flowers and bouquets at Dahlia's will be priced down for the Founders' Festival if you're in, you know, a flowery mood.

[ FRIENDS. ]
Anjou after the Founders Festival sounds more reasonable, right? I haven't been to the markets in fucking ages. Not for long, like a couple days.*

[ ooc: *to return before the game plot!! ]

Once more the city finds itself under attack by monsters; the threat lies outside city walls, and some of you may indeed be already on your way to help deal with it. Those of you who have not yet deployed, report to the North Gate post-haste. We shall be splitting into teams and heading into the battlefield as a team for the first time since the creation of the taskforce.

[...] Let us go out and give those monsters what for.

I need dress help for the engagement party. Yes, I'm going to wear a fucking dress, don't you say anything. What the fuck kind of dress do you wear to an engagement party? I know Audrey won't care, but there're gonna be nobles there, right? I'm gonna look dumb anyway. Fucking dresses.

SHIT DO I NEED TO BE IN HEELS

I'VE NEVER BEEN TO A FANCY ENGAGEMENT PARTY

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.

Another wonderful day in Emillion, how is everyone doing today?

[Men]

Right then, now that that delightful holiday is done I'll be glad never to see flowers until next year. Nothing wrong with flowers, mind you, just all the women expecting something. Pain in the ass.

My birthday is exactly a month from now, fucking hooray. 26 isn't a magical age or anything, but I was thinking about going back to Anjou for a bit around then. Couple days at most, and like fuck I'm taking my family with me or I'll poke my eyes out. Since I don't plan on going alone, anyone want to book a couple days off and skip town with me? It's in a month so I'm early, but you never fucking know when shit going to go down in this city and I'm just being cautious.

RSVP if interested, et cetera et cetera.

[ TOKU. ]
So uh I've been [.....] practicing how you told me to.

[ TLISA. ]
Busy tomorrow?

{after this}

I hate to bother you, but there is another mage in the Tower who has [...] a summon. Like Asura, but [...] different, potentially more dangerous. I don't know how to help her or where to even begin, so I thought if you were willing, you could reach out to her or let me know and I can send her to you?

Also, do you know if Ari [...]

I just think it'll help her out a lot more if someone who is in the same position as she is helped her control the summon or [...] just helped. I also have a lot of questions I want to ask but I gave her a few books but I know literature can only take someone so far but if you're busy then maybe you could point her to someone else who might be able to?

Pretty sure our city gets attacked more fucking often than any city in any region anywhere. Did I miss the sign? The giant arrows in the sky? Did someone send out invitations to giant uglies to come sack our city? Faram fuck, take a break sometime. I'm gonna walk out of the Tower one day and step on a Coeurl, or throw off my sheets and find a cockatrice there.

[ DRAKE. ]
You been okay, Councilor?

[ FRIENDS. ]
IF YOU'RE BROKEN SAY AYE

Something's come up, pretty suddenly. It's a family thing. I'll be leaving Emillion within the week, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. Just wanted to [...] say goodbye, I guess. I'm grateful for the way you've all supported me.

Casting Fire repeatedly in an environment that's both wet and cold will undoubtedly end up with a complete set of damp, freezing clothes. In hindsight, that was fairly obvious. We're almost out of winter, right? Please do not answer that question.

In other news, this is a bad time for a scholar to try and look for work, let that be noted. I also slipped on a frozen patch, unsurprisingly enough.

This is turning up into one of those days where everything turns for the worst.

[Cece]

Would you like to meet later today for some study? Preferably inside the Tower, where it's warm and dry.

We're doing something for your birthday this week. You don't get to say no.

[ MAGE TASK FORCE. ]
So we should celebrate or something. Grumps, you have to come too.

[ ARI. ]
Hey, you been talking to Nate at all?

i've left some bowls of mint pastilles & chocolate (beware, the allergic; they contain hazelnuts) in the ground floor of the mages tower, for any interested parties in need of some sweets on this already sweet-endowed day. for any fighters & bards: apologies, you've evidently chosen the wrong guild.


and i realise, too late, that it's been quite a while since i even used this communicator properly. wilham wolfe here -- i've relatively recently returned to emillion, for those who know me. knew m  i believe i've done most of the rounds but i'm sure there's more of you i haven't run into yet.

[mage task force]
congratulations, all! it was a pleasure working alongside you, and i look forward to more in future.

[toku]
are there any particular strengths or weaknesses you have within geomancy itself?

[flynn]
your mother's business must be making an absolute killing this week.

[merrion]
i'm free for that talk anytime. ideally, with caffeine.

[araceli]
happy birthday, araceli. dinner tonight with the disciples, as last year? our amenities are a bit better this time around, granted.
