Emillion Communications Network

We have all endured a great deal of difficulties, and worked very hard over the past week for that I thank each and every one of you.

At this time, I would like to take a moment to offer a bit of respite for those who may be in need of such, or the mind to partake in form of a simple game. It will not be much, for that I fully admit, and certainly we should work to give you all better reward but for now, I believe simple may be best.

The name of the game is: Would you rather?

The rules are simple, pose two questions to a person of your choice who chimes in upon this post. They then will respond with third preened out of the two options presented, in some way or another of their choice of course.

As an example, I will pose to the first person to respond: Would you rather sail upon the seas on a ship, or fly upon the skies in an airship?

Went to the orphanage to see if I could do anything but apparently the fucking orphanage was reduced to rubble too.

[RIVALEN]

I need a place to stay.

[ASPEL]

Why did you keep it a secret? The Dark.

This is likely common knowledge at this point, but if anyone is in need of healing or supplies, the Grande Cathedral has opened its doors to the public and will remain so for the foreseeable future. If someone you know is in need of a warm meal, clothing, or a safe space to sleep, please send them in the direction of the Cathedral.

Additionally, a small section of the Necrohol has been damaged by this weekend's events. Any available Holy Knights or users of holy magic are requested to do some patrol if at all possible.

[Silver Blades]
Personal matters first: I am very proud to have worked beside each of you during so difficult a time. This weekend you each proved yourselves to be unshakable and strong. Well done.

Business next: First, it is on the order of the Hauptmann that we all spend the next two days resting. I have been given specific instruction to ensure that the lot of you sleep, even if it means I must sit beside you and watch you do so. I will be very unhappy if I have to sit by any bedsides. As far as I can tell, the dormitories are still in order. If any of you have personal matters, see to them and then heal, sleep, and eat. We've plenty of work to pick up on once we've taken our time.

Second, no one is to publicly speak ill of the Mages Guild. I do not want to see any badmouthing from any of you on devices or hear about anything you've said.

Please address questions to the Korporal or the Hauptmann for the first half of the morning. I've something to see to. I will be back as quickly as I can.

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

This city is Faram fucking fucked.


On another note, my sword needs some polishing. That was not a euphemism.

If you see a holy knight stomping around the guildhalls, it's only my sister.

[ JULIETTE. ]
I look forward to you making class. How are you feeling now?

[ AUDREY. ]
How's the little one?

All this excitement about the Founders' Festival on the network! Nothing left to do but join in on the anticipation. My thanks, and condolences, to those who'll spend the Festival working. We'll make sure to celebrate for your sake, too and I sure could use a dis

[ Aspel ]
I've been thinking I'll sign myself up for the exhibition matches. [....] Gives me something to do with myself while [.....] I wait for closure, I suppose.

[ Kiernan & Lav ]
Hey. [....] It took me being away from the taverns for a little over a week to realise just how much of our time together is spent drinking. Not that I'm complaining. [....] How are you two doing?

[ Bram ]
[.....] If sometime next week I were to bring you coffee and cookies, would that be an inconvenience? [....] I haven't seen you since

Don't forget - exhibition match sign ups have already started. If you haven't signed up, you really should.

[ Aspel ]
Think we can convince Karras to let us go three on one again? I feel like we might have a chance this year.

[ Ric ]
You never told me how Namorados with Lex went.

[ Merri ]
Is it vacation, yet?

Hey, everybody! Just a heads up, for the Founders Festival, Morning Glory is offering a two-for-one special! Everyone who orders one of our breakfast plates before noon will get a second one free, so bring a friend, bring a date, bring your mother (she deserves it!), and most importantly, remember to tip your waitress ♥

The Roast is also offering half off on all single pound bags of freshly ground coffee for the week of the festival! Which is this week, so you know, come visit me at work and buy a bag on my shift. I make commission, in case you were wondering. ;)

Anyway, now that I'm done shilling out for gil, does anyone have really great plans for FF? Tell me so I can live vicariously through you!

[Backdated about a week.]

Been in the Necrohol lately?

Man, how is the new year and Founder's Festival right around the corner again?

[Fighter's Guild Male Friends - Apply liberally within reason? He's been drinking a bit...(and Cormac, for lulz)]

Heard everything in your guild costs twice as much for upkeep, and has to be made of Mithral because you bunch of assholes don't know how to be delicate with anything.

[Cormac.]
Fuck women. Not the good kinda fuck either man. Starting to understand your obsession with the gem houses. Also, you're on another filter for the laughs.

I got in!!! I'M A RANGER

edit shortly after.
If anyone wants to come drink with me tomorrow, the Duckling at 7?

Heard from Banes' sister today. Memorial service Sunday, 1900. Mass at the Cathedral.

They tore down my favorite tree. Today is a sad, sad day. Now where am I supposed to nap in the spring?

[ Cressida ]

Miss Cressida Karth,

We, the Council, are pleased to inform you that you have been formally recognized as a member of the Valendian Rangers. Congratulations on your significant achievement; it is a difficult process to be accepted, and you have succeeded where others have failed. Please report Monday, 27 Pisces, for assignment and instructions.

Again, congratulations and we look forward to your future service.

Best,
The Fighters' Guild Council on behalf of The Valendian Rangers

Congrats, Cress! Told you you'd be fine. ♥

[ Aspel ]
Hi.

[ Ari ]
Think it'd be a hassle if I got myself lost in the desert?

Spring in the fucking air already?

[Juliette.]

Congratulations to your sister.

[Evan.]

Seen that invitation, aye?

Earth here tastes dry. Kerwon was damp, easier to slide inside your mouth. Don't swallow this earth, easier to have a spoonful of cinnamon.

Don't fall in because you won't get out.

It looks like I missed an exciting Saint Namorados day. Does anyone want to come buy some cheap chocolate with me?

[ ZACHEUS. ]
Thank you for everything.

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!

Well then, now that we're moving toward the holiday of candy hearts and pink banners around the shops, it must be asked. Are there any interesting parties coming along soon as well, do you suppose?

[Zacheus.]

Strangely enough, I've taken to cleaning out the rubbish in my apartment! Any suggestions on how to be rid of all this extra [...] clutter?

[Elvira - UNSENT.]

Is this When you asked

PUBLIC.
The park looks particularly beautiful this time of year—at least in the early hours. There is something special about peaceful, untouched snow, isn't it? I've yet to tire of the sight!

FILTERED TO: fighters guild.
There's nothing like brothers and sisters in arms sharing a meal at the mess hall there? I would be delighted to provide desserts (for Shieldwyrm, Hellwyrm?) someday; we could try a potluck dinner.

FILTERED TO: fighters guild ladies.
If there is anything I could do to assist you lovely women, do let me know. Now, I don't have a squire myself but don't think that will stop me from playing aunt or sister to the young ladies of our guild. Healthy friendship—or a sense of sorority for us, do you think?—can overcome anything, I'd say!

FILTERED TO: guy lenard.
[...] Quick query, if I may!

FILTERED TO: church ladies. [BACKDATED TO EARLIER THIS WEEK. SO SORRY. this is a repost is the ladies who lunch invite to fit w/ edits to the ooc post here.]
Hello, hello, ladies!

Why, it has been some time since we've had a regular meeting and I quite miss your lovely company. I would be delighted to invite you all to Cafe du Ciel Rose after mass this Sunday. (My treat!) Afterwards, we could even visit the children at [tenements orphanage].

It would be a pleasure to have you!
