Emillion Communications Network

Considering we successfully kept our city from a Fire elemental invasion, we should all go out and get drunk. First round is on me, for those cheap bastards out there (Hey, Ryul).

[Mathieu]

Hey Flower-bard-dude Mathieu, you okay bro? No one set you on fire, right?

I'm gettin' real sick and tired of people trying to pull the same bullshit on me. You'd think they'd come up with a few new tricks. Next person tries to use crowded areas as an excuse to grab my ass for free is gonna find themselves in a clinic somewhere.

[ Cian ]
Heard a rumor about someone thinking of trying to make a grab at one of the warehouses. Sounded like he had an insider. Civ named Caius.

[ TG Council minus Reinholdt ]
Got some info about that debacle a few months back with Conti. Not sure if you're still looking into it or not.

[ Miles ]
I swear to fucking Faram if one more person tries to off me, I'm gonna find a black mage and mimic the fuck out their high leveled spells.

[ Loch ]
Fucker was offed before I could get to him.

One can't imagine anyone needs reminding, but all parties considering travel before the thaw--reconsider.

[THIEVES GUILD]

One hears things have been eventful in my absence. One also hears 'eventful' might be a charitable description.

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.

Boxes of chocolates, roses and carnations and lilies, perfumed paper, vanilla cakes with pink and red frosting, paper doilies, little cherub statues with real wings, glass bottles of perfume that smells like meadows and candy, lace underthings, delicate music boxes, shining jewelry of silver and gold. So many things on sale, the market is so exciting to watch right now! So many people darting about, like little minnows in a stream!

There is even a tavern offering discounted drinks for unmarried citizens. How very nice of them!

Hello to the girl I met in the castle gardens and at the spice shop, I hope you have a lovely St. Namorados Day!

Noble scuttlebutt is about some rich beauty of a Duchess come down from the north. Think she's open to any dalliances while she's here? Those deep coffers would certainly be a bit of a prize.

[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.

Belated thanks to the amazing performers at the Faram's Mass Gala and to all those who attended.

[A. CERELIA, M. BAINES, & F. SASAKI], [C. WILDE], and [L. LEMACH] separately.
No especial news from my end. Any activity I ought know of in the Courts this Capricorn?

[FUMI & MILES.]
Could do with a break from the fam work.

No more front lawns that look like Faram's Mass hurled all over them, what a disappointment. I will be crying into my pillow for the days to come.

[ MILES. ]
Are you

Does anyone know of a good game to play this eve?

[Mag.]
I have not seen much of you.

[Rictor & Seloria.]
Are you to attend the ball?

[Drake.]
I have not seen
Would you care
It would seem

I believe I shall be taking lunch out this Saturday after our meeting. Our sessions are always so exhausting.

[Ari.]

[.......]

And your eve?

[Councils.]
I believe it has been some time since we have compiled for a proper meeting, no?

[FG Council.]
Whereas the other guilds have been of significant assistance in these past trying months, I believe it may be in our favor to make attempts towards a show of appreciation towards them. Your thoughts?

First of all, thank you all for volunteering for this mission. The safety of Emillion and its citizens hinges on its success, as no doubt you understand. We have been able to pinpoint the location where the herb may be found, and believe it would be best to launch this mission as soon as possible. The details are as follows:

Volunteers will leave from the Aerodrome at 6:00AM on Saturday, Sagittarius 8. Dress warmly; the journey will lead you to the Emillion mountains, so please remember to take the weather into account. Volunteers will fly partway there, but as the site cannot be directly accessed by airship, volunteers will need to be prepared to walk and camp at least one night. Camping supplies (bedrolls, tents, etc.) will be provided free of charge, as will healing potions.

Thank you again. We pray for your success, and wish you the best of luck. Should you have any further questions regarding mission parameters, please direct them to Councilors Min or Matsudaira of the Mages' Guild.

[ Councils ]
ooc: posted at the same time as the above, just slipped my mind

In order to be fully prepared for the ordeal ahead, Councilor Min and I believe it would help matters to settle on a team leader, or several (depending on whether more volunteers come forward yet). You have seen the list of volunteers as it stands. Do you have any members of your respective guilds you would like to recommend for the task?

greetings,
my bardic brethren!

those of you who've so sadly declined
the most recent call to heroism,
(& luckily have skipped infirmity also)
your council most humbly requests the
service of your (musical) talents.

those especially skilled in
info-gathering,
i do hope you can
shake a mean tambourine!

after this

In the course of her investigation, our guild mage Sabina Domicetti has obtained information which could potentially lead to a cure. Her research has come across a reference to an illness not dissimilar to the one now plaguing our city, and a herb that could help combat the illness is described in the text.

We are led to believe obtaining it will present several obstacles which would necessitate the collaboration of a party of combatants willing to help clear the path to the remedy. We do not yet know the exact location, and are working on coordinates at this time; it should take no more than a day or two. However, we believe it would be beneficial to start recruiting volunteers preemptively. Any assistance you could render with regards to this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Said, "Keep your distance. Your older brother's ill." And aye, he took that to heart!

Jesting aside, has anyone seen one (1) Theodore Finch? Hoped to speak to see

This wretched flu! Cannot include you in my will w/o arousing suspicion but when death takes me, know you can raid my room, body, &c for whatever you wish—barring anything of sentimental value to my family.

Only half-kidding. Too hoarse to laugh 100%. Hope you haven't been laid up with this?

holiday music!
opinions? too early?

[Mages Council + Bards Council.]

hail kindly fellows!
after digging around the archives— & please do thank the archivist,
we have (what they tell me),
are the late great p. fitzwilliam's personal manuscripts:
songs of the sages
a red mage's journey through valendia
assorted things and sundry.

friendly exchange betwixt us m'hap?

[Bram.]

papers for you to sign!
volunteers for me, good sir?

[Azalea.]

meeting soon,
and by that i mean you + me + sackheim,
wine and paperwork.

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.

unsent to LORD REDWALD VANNES
Well,

Apparently, I'm husband hunting. Any takers?

[CIAN, posted late afternoon]
Not gonna make it tonight.

[LOCH]
Remind me offing nobles is a fucking bad idea.

[MILES]
Gonna be out of commission for a few days. Not sure if you had anything coming up or not.
