Emillion Communications Network

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.

With Founders' Festival just around the corner, I wonder what delightful surprises the city's guilds have in store for us? I have to say, I cannot wait to find out.

[ Merrion ]
I do hope you are fully recovered from your injuries. I am flattered that you came out to meet me for dinner, last time, despite the pain, but please, do take good care of yourself. I would not like to be responsible for your suffering.

[ SiDA ]
Have you fixed the mirror?

[Cian]

I know how she speaks and how she-

Who would have known?

[Backdated to two nights ago]

Does the sight of a squire trying to take on men and women a decade older in a drinking competition ever stop being fucking hysterical?

Were we all that stupid at 15? I'm pretty sure I knew better than to challenge a Kerwonian at ale drinking, at least.

The lengths we go to to ensure the public is entertained! Today is the first day in weeks that I haven't needed healing on the job. I think I ought to celebrate. Suggestions?

[Aspel]

Busy tonight~?

[Drake]

Lunch tomorrow? Or are you too buried in paperwork to take an hour off for me? Romulus and Juliana rehearsal will start late, thank Faram, so I'll have the opportunity to eat properly.

[Aud]

Did you know Scarlet's back in town?

[Scarlet]

How are you settling in?

With the new year upon us, it appears all around town are filled with resolutions for self-improvement. No matter their occupation or calling in life, we all seek to attain that perfect version of ourselves. A worthy goal, in my opinion—to carry out one's role to the best of one's ability, to give the best one can give, to inch closer to perfection.

Another year, another number.

Time goes on.

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?

[Caspar & Rictor]

May we spend New Years Eve together?

Is anyone aware of where I might acquire an item that grants the Float effect on a fixed as opposed to temporary basis?

[Pyr & Sky]

Will you be busy on the first day of the new year?

Additionally, I know your birthday is coming up soon. In addition to the cake I promised you, Sky, I would like to offer the following to both of you: a visit to an armor, weapon, or accessory vendor of your choice, and any one item of your choosing - each - in place of something chosen by me. Within reason, of course.

[Toku]

I would like to take you up on your open offer. Have you any Air-elemental spells in your arsenal that you feel I may reasonably be able to master?

[Ridley]

Have you considered engaging a housekeeper for Cormac? You may wish to suggest it and see if he can find the budget to spare. I believe it may improve his well-being considerably to have someone helping with household tasks at his residence.

[Cecilia, Siri, Tlisa - separately]

How are your studies progressing?

[Friends and Colleagues - apply as makes sense!]

If I do not find the opportunity to see you over the course of the next two days, I would like to thank you for your continued support as this year draws to a close. I appreciate your presence in my life and the positive effects you have had upon it.

[Aspel] [[added after this]]

It has been some time since I have visited your forge, but I am wondering if you still take commissions.

[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.

The path is ash, the vines are thick. the woods are lovely, dark and deep. Kerwon is far, so far but calls.

[Evander]

Spare me a moment?

Spring in the fucking air already?

[Juliette.]

Congratulations to your sister.

[Evan.]

Seen that invitation, aye?

PSfuckingA

If you're going to take a piss outside on a cat, don't fucking bring it to me and demand I arrest it for scratching your Faram-damned dick. You're fucking lucky I didn't punch you for good fucking measure.

Use a fucking lavatory.


EDIT after this
Can cats get syphilis?

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

I will be unavailable this afternoon; please drop any documents needing review in the slot in my office door and see another member of the council with urgent requests. My apologies for the inconvenience.

[MG Council]

I am afraid that yesterday's cough has worsened and I am quite ill. If I am needed for anything urgent, the network may be best through the weekend.

[Perdita]

Please take the day off, unless you prefer to speak with Councilors Matsudaira and Priddy about tasks you might perform.

[Siri]

My apologies, but I must reschedule this afternoon's session. Will you be available next week?

[Riyeko]

I apologize for the suddenness of the request, but might you be available to come by this afternoon? I am unfortunately feeling rather ill, but I assure I will not keep you long.

[Twins]

[.................................................] If by some chance you had thought to come visit this weekend, please do not. I would not wish my cold upon you.

Thanks to a certain someone, all I seem to want to do is compose fantastical stories; I wrote half a song chorus about the gem eaters before I had noticed what I was doing, and yet the act three blocking remains imperfect, alas.

So, to one of my favorite not-bard storytellers, thanks ever so (no, but actually, really thank you; it has kept me entertained this afternoon at the very least).

[Friends]

Someone remind me why I thought double-booking myself a grand idea?

[Miles]

I swear, the next time I am told to wave my arms with more intensity, I will use that clever and beastly uncomfortable contraption they've put me in to set our beloved director's hair on fire.

[Aud]

I bought you a wedding present~ No really, don't thank me.

[Aspel]

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.

[A few hours after the Earthquake]

You know, I always wanted a hole in my back yard. You can't deny it adds a little something to the view.
