DEAR EVERYONE

STOP

[ MG, minus council. ]
Curiosity calls-- who's signing up for the taskforce?

I've also got more baked goods than I can stomach. I'm leaving them in the Tower foyer, and you're welcome.

[ ARI. ]
You + me = coffee. I'll pay.

I must say that I am quite relieved to see the effects that virulent disease leave Emillion! Too many good people were debilitated by it, and it gives me great comfort to know that the cure is being distributed. There is still much work to be done, of course! I hope that people find the remainder of the sealksdfjsladfj

[Perdita's message is cut off when, wiped out from the past two weeks of errand running, she falls asleep face first at a table in the Mage Library. She's woken up an half an hour later by [MAGE GUILD MEMBER]. Afterwards:]

[MERRI]
I'm glad to hear that you've made a full recovery, sir! Your presence was sorely missed in the Tower.

[COUNCILOR MIN]
I am dreadfully sorry for the delay, Ms. Min! You will find the documents you requested on your desk in the magenta folder. The papers have been arranged chronologically.

[SCHOLARS, MAGE FRIENDS]


True or False: will I be able to live the incident in the library down? Answer: PATENTLY FALSE

Are you well now, Mr. Wilde? This is Ridley, if you remember me. You aided me with a mugger some time ago?

[ BOOK CLUB. ]
This Saturday I shall be revealing secret gift exchange partners, if you would like to be in attendance, but I shall filter the results in the evening should you miss the meeting.

[ PEONY. ]
I apologize if this is a strange question, but you are better acquainted with Cormac than I: do you have any idea what he might like for Faram's Mass?

[ PYR & SKY. ]
Perhaps we may do that lunch someday?

Please be careful if you choose to go running in the Commoners' District park. Some of the paths are quite icy.

[Ridley]

Thank you again for inviting me yesterday. I had a very good time.

[Seloria]

I apologize for my long silence. There was [............] an urgent family matter. [...] Have you settled well into your new home?

[Morgayne]

I believe I may have found a dress for you. Would you like to come and try it on? I am told Alys is not infectious.

[Perdita]

I have finished The Duchess of Montblanc at last. You were correct; it was very good. Thank you for the recommendation.

[Storm]

Have you made a return to training?

[Pyr]

[.......................] Are you [...] doing all right?

[Theo]

[..................................] I have made a very large pot of vegetable soup. Ms. Han says While you are convalescing, perhaps [...] Might I bring some by?

[Divina]

Do you celebrate

Back to work a couple weeks ago with no fanfare. First hiccough is the stack of complaints over cockatrice-induced damages in the districts this week. Reminder that animal vandalism does not fall under our remit. We concern ourselves with humes first and foremost.


[SQUIRES]
For those of you who are still deciding on class or wanting to try some new weapons, I'll be doing training sessions with polearms next week.

[DRAGOONS]
Anyone want to accompany in training/sparring the squires next week? PR for our class.

[GRUMPY OLD MEN: FOXE, HERON]
Bierfest is a holiday for the young, but I'll admit it has its appeal.

[VERA]
[...] First month so far?

[FILTER: PEONY MIN]
Dear Peony Min

Dear Miss Min,

Dear Councilor

Dear Councilor Min,

Hello! This is Perdita Arkady, Mage Guild scholar. Would it be possible to meet with you regarding the practical application of how to cast the finer points of spell-casting? I'm having some difficulty regularly casting Fire. I realize that as a council member, you are very busy and I should just delete this entry, but I would greatly appreciate any time you have regarding this matter. If you're available for a meeting, please let me know.

Sincerely,
Perdita Arkady

Did I miss anything particularly exciting this past weekend? Other than rain, apparently. There is a leak in my roof, it seems. My kitchen floor resembles a shallow pond.

[Audrey]

Can I just sigh at you a little? How does a supposedly enjoyable weekend out of town turn into taking Aspel to the hospital? I think I was more relaxed before I went.

[...] I need a distraction. When would you like to go [....] shopping?

[Mag]

You may wish to check in with Aspel tonight, if she hasn't contacted you.

[Aspel]

[..............] Settled in well, I hope? I should have made you tea, at least, before I

[PRIVATE]
Nothing.

After THREE WHOLE DAYS

Not one, single, solitary crumb of trivia outside of what you can find in a Rickard Sieves TRAVEL GUIDE


[PUBLIC]

Emillion, I have a query. If you were doing research on the Outlands, particularly on the region's history, where would you look? If the libraries of St. Iocus is your recommendation, please provide the title of the book, the wing of the library it can be found in, and the call number.

Thank you!

This is becoming maddening.

Public service announcement: the jardin des étoiles in the nobles' district really does not encourage outside visitors.

SQUIRES.
Does anybody know the best way to get blood out of leather?

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.

So, network, share your hangover remedies. I'd say my interest is rhetorical, but I'd be lying.

[Drake]

If I called upon your basic hume decency and asked you to bring me food and a painkilling potion, would you?

[Aspel]

I vaguely recall you leaving -- did I imagine it, or did you say you were going to mass? Weren't you too

And on an entirely unrelated topic, just how busy will your first week back at work be? Think you can squeeze in a lunch break~? I'm sure once this headache passes, I'll want nothing more than to make up for falling asleep on you again.

[Aud, Bella, Rin]

You would not believe who I convinced to do body shots last night~ ♥

Good day,

The Council has received a request from the village of Cammon in the Outlands for two white mages to be dispatched urgently to evaluate a mysterious illness which has besieged the populace. Financial remuneration will, of course, be provided to those who volunteer to make the journey.

There is a great need to identify and stop this unknown sickness before it spreads further. Please contact myself or Merrion Priddy at your earliest convenience if you are willing to undertake this assignment. We would like to meet personally with volunteers before their departure.

Regards,
Councilor Min

[Guy]

It appears that Grenoble was not the end of this sad tale. Have you heard anything else in your travels?

[Fighters' Guild Council]

I am writing to inquire whether any Ranger patrols are scheduled in the next day or two to travel in the direction of Cammon in the Outlands. If yes, would it be possible to send two mages along with them? I believe they can more than make up for the inconvenience with their utility against any obstacles encountered.

If not, could you recommend a seasoned individual with a good knowledge of that area whom the Mages' Guild might hire as escort? Our two representatives must leave as quickly as possible, and I am not yet certain of the duration of their stay.

Favorite dish of the season?

If only we were all fortunate enough to have family rise from the dead.

I woke up this morning to a man juggling squashes in the street under my window to the delight of the gathered crowd. It must be harvest.

[Aspel & Drake]

What are you doing this afternoon?

By which I mean, there is pie in the park with our names on it.

[Aspel]

I
Actually
Those squashes are not quite as impressive as pineapples, but they reminded me of
Is Mag doing all right?

[Audrey]

How are you doing after yesterday? Planning on braving the crowd? And more importantly, I have to know: just how many marriage proposals had you had by the end of the night?

These three days have been an ABSOLUTE DREAM. I have learned so many useful things through the convention--I made so many notes, I will have to purchase a new mage lecture notebook this weekend! And the breakfasts were DIVINE! What bakery made those delightful little raspberry cookies? I didn't think it was possible for cookies to be an appropriate breakfast food, but the convention proved me wrong! Perhaps we could extend the convention for just one more day? Pretty please?

Also, I require some advice! What book store would you recommend visiting, if you were on the hunt for an Ordalian play in the author's mother tongue? The translated copy of Poquelin's Terpsichore I found in the St. Iolus library was, well, lacking. I'm not exaggerating when I use that word, either--I strongly suspect that the translator for that particular edition was either drunk or lied shamelessly about his knowledge of Ordalian subregional languages.

Darlings, I hate to be alarmist (or a gossip!), but I'm hearing all kinds of things about the events at the Mages Convention today.
