So what do people do for New Year's in Emillion?

[ Friends ]
We're I'm not leaving! I'm staying in Emillion! We I managed to convince Mom and Dad though I still don't know how we did it so I'm staying!

[ Sky ]
High five! We need to stuff our faces to celebrate! Think Baker's Dozen might have some sort of holiday sale going on?

If there are any lingering concerns, issues, or shortages in the wake of our recent challenges, please remember that the Council's doors are always open and we are glad to assist you.

[Pyr & Sky]

I was able to procure one more ticket for the gala on short notice. I have given the four tickets to Father. I hope you will enjoy the show, and I will see you a few days later, at midnight mass.

[.....................................] I will, of course, host dinner on Faram's Mass, before your departure the next day.

[Riyeko]

Are you busy this evening?

[Merrion]

I hope you are feeling fully recovered? [...] Please make certain to take time to spend with your mother while she is here. I will be glad to cover any additional tasks if you need me.

[Toku]

I have

I hope that everyone is healthy and staying warm. I am very glad to see the city returning to peace and prosperity.

[Siana]

How fares your family?

[Riyeko]

Perhaps now, with the turmoil settling, we should consider rescheduling that dinner?

[Pyr & Sky]

If you have an interest, I have acquired three tickets for the upcoming holiday gala. I am told the show shall be quite eclectic and the dinner enjoyable. [...] Would you like to attend with me?

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?

[ Sky ]

i know i said i really wanted sweets but if you bring them by leave them outside the door. don't come in. i don't want you to catch this. you have to be okay.

i miss you.


[ Peony ]

i know you're working really hard and i know you're going to pull us all through. you're great. i'm sorry i've been so awkward all this time. i really wanted to be close and not be awkward but i wasn't sure how. i still don't know why you left but i'm so glad we're here now. [.....] i love you.


[ Juliette ]

i'm sorry i didn't show up for our spar last week. i'm not going this week either, i think. [....] i'm sick. it's some strange thing from the outlands, i have no idea, but i can't really move from my bed and i think i'm hall.

go to rené's and buy lots of sweets and stuff your face and don't worry about anything and have fun. you're too worried about propriety and that kind of thing. you shouldn't be so hard on yourself.


[ Storm ]

we're going to get better.

If you are feeling unwell, please ensure that you are seen by a white mage. It is the season for illness.

[Pyr & Sky]

[.............................................................] I have not heard from you in several days and I am concerned. It has been quite cold recently. Are you [...] feeling doing well?

[Amos]

Five more possible cases in the city clinics, though none fully confirmed. Any further developments at the cathedral?

[Cormac, Sabina, Darius]

Any news?

Might anyone have recommendations for books on central Ordalian history during the Imperial occupation and subsequent revolution?

[Riyeko]

Thank you very much for lunch - it was such a pleasant surprise.

[Pyr & Sky]

I have not seen you in some time due to [....] difficulties at work, and I apologize. Are you well?

[Penelope]

I have a favor to ask, if you are amenable.

[Kiernan & Lavitz]

Might one of you be available for a small job on Thursday morning of this week?

[Ade]
[after this]

It has been suggested that I contact you regarding a small escort job for this coming Thursday. It has been some time since we last worked together, but I would be glad to have your company, if you are available.

Does anyone have any reasonable suggestions for holiday shopping? It's the time of year to buy presents I mean it's not that I didn't think about this sooner, because I did I just didn't know how to go about it or where to go, and I've been so busy with my inventions and things that it's totally forgivable, right?

[Cian.]
I know I've asked a lot of you already but I think it might be a good period to start considering when the sSecond test run could be for the project soon?

[Peony.]
We haven't done dinner in a while, have we? How are your brothers? Has the council work been easier? I know I just saw you last week but I was so caught up in the invention testing that I was totally completely rude and didn't really ask you these questions although I totally should have and I was a really terrible friend and I'm sorry and can you forgive me?

[Lea.]
I think the projector is up for another test run. I'm on to the third model at this point and think I've squared away enough of the structural and functional features at this time to make it a much more reasonable device to carry assuming I can shrink it down at least once more before the final model is released to any group as a whole, but I think it shouldn't be too hard, but I've been changing the design to store specific imagery instead of projecting alternative scenes across an area so that it can be more contained. [...........] Part of the problems is deciding precisely what images we want preloaded into the device and how easily functional we want to allow the uploading of new images. There's also potential profit to be made if we pre-load a specific set of images and then have them have to come back to pay us to change them out. It won't last forever as someone will crack it eventually, but it could be good for a little while. Also, I don't know if there's any sort of reward we can give him or anything but Mr. Cian Wilde has been a really big help with the test runs and info on the sewers throughout the project so far.

[Cormac.]
I had Peony test the spell expander and it was really impressive, I have a lot of data that I'm still converting over into properly functional statistics in order to make it a reasonable large scale device but it's still going to take a lot of work at this time and I'm not sure if it's going to make sense to roll this out to a lot of people for quite a while still but I think it could work, and we integrated the rocket boots too!!!! to get a better feel for how distancing might come into play with some of the spell aiming and it was awesome.

[Toku.]
I heard you're back. Are you okay? Should I bring something over to cheer you up? Would you like Mochi? Hi.

[Pyr & Sky.]
Want to help me test something? You have to promise that you won't break it though, ok?

[Nate.]
Are you ok? How are you? There's some wires and things I have that you can use [..........] I tested the rocket boots last week!

Has anyone been to the Natural History Museum of late? They are hosting a travelling exhibit on the history of martial arts and combat practices. I was wondering if it was worth a visit.

RICTOR CASSUL
Brother Ignatius has given me the tomes you requested, Sir. I do not mean to overstep, but I did not realise y

RIDLEY IRVING
Thank you for hosting the book club session. I truly enjoyed myself.

MORGAYNE FALK & CONAN HELMM-DEIRGARD
It is beginning to be quite chilly. I am not certain if I prefer the cold to the sun.

PYR & SKY MIN
Have relations improved? With Juliette and Sky's mentor, I mean to say.

Who else was around for the cockatrices? That was fun!

If I have any upcoming engagements or plans with you, my apologies, but they are on indefinite hold.

[Friends]

Aud's been hurt.

[Sky]

You're on your own for a bit, Herbert. Stay out of trouble, all right?

[Aspel/Cress/Mag/René]

Sorry, but I think our turnover contest is canceled.

Juliette knows about you. She's probably pissed off. I'm hiding at the Cathedral with Storm and hoping it'll blow over.

Next time you come to the guildhalls for training, go straight home. If you see her, avoid her. Do not engage. I repeat: do not engage.

[ Delivery to the Sapphire House ]

[Once again addressed to Audrey, a box of melonpan from the Baker's Dozen and another box full of cookies and a badly scribbled note: "sorry again your awesum"]


[ Bella ]

hey Im rilly sorry for sneeking on your ship I wont do it again and thanks for not turning me in or kilin throwing me out the airlok

( TO QUEN, SENT TODAY. )

( TO CY, SENT AROUND NOON THURSDAY. )

[ QUEN. ]
Please do not be alarmed by the sudden appearance of flowers at your door and I hope you've not kicked them over. I didn't want to distract you from your studying. It's a vase of bluebells, which are meant to symbolize good luck and also love. There is an old tale of fairies casting spells on those who picked them. They're purple-blue in color, and when growing in the wild, droop like bells. They are also poisonous if ingested, so please do not eat them?

This is to say, good luck on your exam, Quen. You will do great, and I believe in you.

[ PYR & SKY. ]
Hello, it has been some time. How are you both?

[ MERRI. ]
I've finished the second book, and I am working on the third. It is becoming difficult to put them down.

[ CY, edited in later on thurs. ]
I was not sure which flavors you prefer, but the cake is vanilla, with buttercream frosting.

[Ari]
awwwww yeeeeeeeeeeeeah.

[Aspel]
so uh, we need to talk.

[Miles]
i saw chocobo shit on the street and i thought of you.

[Fumi]
i have a question for you.

[Sky]
let it be known i'm still disappointed with what you did late last month. however, i do have a very important job for you if you think you can do it. otherwise i don't want to waste my time

[Siana]

Alas, I am once again unable to join you at the reported crime scene, but I hope you might indulge me with another memstone, should you find anything of note. My apologies for my unfortunate schedule these last months; I believe I should be more available come next week.

[Ophion]

I would like to speak to you regarding a matter of mentorship. Might you be willing to consider a student in the near future?

[Kiernan]

Thank you again for your assistance the other day. Would you be interested in hiring on to future outings of this nature?

[Riyeko]

I believe Quiz may miss you and Ratchet. He has been meowing most insistently at the bowl you left in my quarters the last time you were here a few weeks ago. Perhaps I can tempt you two into a visit with ohagi? It is nearly the season for them.

[Ladies Who Lunch]

My apologies for being so absent these last months. This week is likely to be more of the same, but perhaps next Sunday, Virgo 17, we might meet after mass? I have missed your company.

[Pyr & Sky]

[…] You will both find packed lunches in your respective rooms when you return there today. I was told upon my visit early this morning that you were already at training. It appears you are working quite hard.

[Penelope]
[[OOC: after this.]]

I believe I may owe you an apology.
