Emillion Communications Network

[...] I realize how utterly silly this will sound, but if anyone finds a black cat with two white paws in the city somewhere, will you send a message to me? He should answer to the name Tybal.

[FILTER: FRIENDS (ARI CHIARO, PEONY MIN, BRAM THORNTON, OTHERS [APPLY LIBERALLY])]
How have you faring? I am sorry for not contacting you sooner, I had to replace my old communicator. If you require any assistance, please let me know.

[FILTER: MAGE GUILD COUNCIL MEMBERS]
If you require any assistance in organizing the necessary tools and talent for repairing the Tower, please let me know. I am happy to aid the Guild in any way I can.

[FILTER: MAGE GUILD MEMBERS]
Has anyone had [...] problems with non-mages recently? I did not expect Was it stupid of me to believe that

If anyone is in need of assistance with something I can reasonably help, please do feel welcome to reach out to me.


[Mage's Guild Council.]
I will dispense with formalities in this instance as I am certain we have more than enough work with which to fill our days.

I recognize that the following days, weeks, and potentially months, will be trying upon your guild, and yourselves. I also recognize that after an event like what has transpired, people will be scared, and looking for others to blame. That there is potential for back lash, and with the precarious state of affairs, there is a high likelihood for it to occur to innocent, good, strong, kindhearted people who have done no wrong. Times like these are when scapegoats are created for crimes not their fault, and villains are made of people with beautiful souls.

With these things in mind, and my own personal, strong desire to assure that as little harm come from this event, as we have already lost so much, I would like to offer what spaces I am in command of - as my own personal choice, and not connected to my guild, or my position - as asylum for those of your guild who need to seek refuge from harm, of fear of the outside when required.

However, I will not do so without permission of your council. Thus, this message is to offer what I have, and seek your permission to offer your guild safe house within the Armory, my apartment, and potentially my office at Bahamut hall as needed for anyone who must escape the outside world temporarily whilst in the duration of such a trying time.

Thank you for your time.

[Fighter's Guild Council.]
I have drafted up a public address, but feel we may best be suited by calling an all guild public forum after such terrible events. Your thoughts?

ooc: though it is not being announced, the MG Council will be giving up a fraction of their salary until such a time as reconstruction efforts are complete, and said reconstruction efforts are taking part as specified in the mod post, and below.

To all citizens of Emillion,

This is a message from Emillion’s Mages’ Guild: a message of apology which we hope will at least be considered, if not accepted, by those reading it on this day. Our words can only convey so much, and there is a grief for which not even the most skilled Orator’s words could speak, which can only be mended by the respect for what was lost in every action; perhaps not even then. And yet, there are words that cannot go unsaid.

The tragedy that recently befell the city has torn the districts asunder, and though it will take time, buildings and property can be restored to their original conditions. Hume losses are far more difficult to recover from. Not even the most skilled of our healers could bring the deceased back, or mend their loved ones’ suffering. The Mages’ Guild would like to offer our most heartfelt apologies to every citizen reading this, and every victim that could not be saved, and our most sincere thanks to those who gave their lives to ensure others could live. Your sacrifice shall be honored, and remembered.

It is with a heavy heart that we are conveying this message, for the part played by our Guild in this tragedy cannot be ignored. At this time, we cannot be sure what led our former Guildmaster, the lady Vivian Xi, to embark on such a destructive rampage and not only forsake her duty, shared by us all, to keep the city safe, but furthermore turn against it and its citizens. However, an investigation of the events leading up to the tragedy, as well as the monster that accompanied her, is currently being carried out by our Guild, in order to ensure that this tragedy may never be repeated again.

Rebuilding efforts are currently underway, and will have the full support of our Guild. Furthermore, those who require healing may be treated by our white mages at clinics free of charge, and the cost of crystal transport between the districts for the general public will also be assumed by our Guild. These measures are nowhere near enough to compensate for the damage that was done, but we hope to atone for the recent tragedy by ensuring that Emillion can be rebuilt twice as strong as before. This is where our duty lies, and we will see to it that it is fulfilled, to the best of our ability.

Any persons in need of assistance at this time are welcome to come to our Guild; we will attempt to help in whichever way we can.

Sincerely,

Toku Matsudaira
Mages’ Guild Council

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?

may faram bless us all on this most solemn sunday,
and many well-wishes offered to all & sundry!

as our shared city seeks out reconstruction,
we in the bards guild work to aid in efforts.
should any find themselves within the theatre district,
i entreat thee to make note of nearest donation stalls.
whatever may be spared for those in need ofc,
we would certainly be glad to re-disperse.

[Councils.]

i will insist no hesitation on your parts,
should you seek to request further aid!
a difficult time this shall certainly prove.

[Thieves Guild.]

& in consideration of wealth/goods,
please do keep the council thus apprised,
of all damages incurred by the assault.
as busy as we are of late i would entreat also,
please relay messages to the spymaster to myself.

[Lena.]

[...] a word to you?

The city is being invaded across all districts. These monsters are powerful; please, do not engage unless prepared to face them, and flee if your life is at risk. Trust in yourselves. If we stand together, we can defeat this threat.

[ MG Council ]
[.............] I have been informed that this catastrophe may have been initiated by [........] our own Sage, the Lady Vivian Xi. I am heading to confront her as we speak. [......] She is of our guild. She is our responsibility.

Be safe.

after this

Everyone up and out. Somehow, monsters have gotten inside the city. Get the civilians to safety, and start taking out the enemies.

Squires -- Get to your nearest guildhall and stay there unless your mentor tells you otherwise.

[ Aspel, Bram ]
Knew it had been too quiet I'm on my out.

[ Peony, Merri, Toku ]
The Palings. Are they down?

[ Mathieu ]
If your guild can help, it would be appreciated.

Countess,

I hope this message finds you well. I apologize if this is short-notice; however, if it is not too much trouble, I was hoping you might be able to help me locate an accessory to guard against Silence. My fellow Councilor, Peony Min, informed me that you recently reached out to your contacts to aid her in obtaining a pair of Winged Boots; I was hoping you may extend me the same courtesy. I will, of course, pay the price that you require.

Thank you. I pray you are enjoying the festivities, and look forward to hearing from you.

Toku Matsudaira
Mages' Guild Council

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!! ]

how lovely is the return of spring, and hope!
& most of all ofc the founders festival,
gem of my generous heart.

please come and view this year's opening parade!
promised already have i not to become (the most outrageous!) spectacle yet.

and have you all plans set yet for the technology expo?
to see the marvelous machinations of our machinists?

or have you bought your tickets for the founders play?
no compliments left ungiven toward my dear thespian brothers/sisters,
& trust well that the rozenkatz box will not go unfilled.

my dance card at the ball is filling quickly,
but worry not those aspiring numbers who seek me out,
for my appearance at the sackheim is guaranteed—
and shall endure well & long into the final eve.

good blessings to you all, my friends!

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.

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.

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?

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.

( A present, with a handwritten note tucked inside the package )

[ Peony ]

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful gift, Peony! I truly appreciate it, and the lunch was beyond delicious!

[ Toku ]

Thank you for the book! I can't wait to read it; it looks like a wonderful read!

Is everyone okay?

[ MG Council ]

I don't know how to best express it but [...] I have a bad feeling about what happened the other day. I'll be back at the Tower on Monday to discuss it if you want to though if there are. Weynn was able to promise me Monday. I'll be in her clinic until then.

[ Taskforce ]
Currently on my way to render assistance against the monsters attacking outside city walls. I expect you will all fulfill your duty and help however you can, whether it be by fighting or assisting others. This is why you were chosen.

Be safe out there. I shall look forward to reading your reports.

[ MG Council ]
Heading out, as I am certain you are. Please, take care.
