So. If I was in the market for a monocle, where would I go?

[Ari & Aspel, separately]

Can we talk?

[Merri]

I miss you. :(

I need to get really, really, really drunk. I'd rather not be the sad drunkard in the corner of the bar alone, so who's with me?

[......................]

I have something I [...] need to tell you both. It's about the attacks. I don't know how much help this information will be, but it's [...] something?

[ Ran ]

Would you like to come with me to the Festival of Lions on Friday? I understand if you would rather not, of course, and I can bring you food or whatever you want from the festival if you'd prefer to stay in, but it's a wonderful and romantic festival and [...] I was just wondering if you wanted to!

The arrangement is nearly finalized, but very shortly, my living accommodations will change and I will be residing at the clinic. I'm uncertain if visitors will be allowed upstairs, though I will inquire at a later point. Little else should change apart from that, as I will still be attending classes, and will continue to teach you Cure until you've a better hang of it, Pyr.

[ CORMAC. ]
Would you like to meet Dinah today?

[ PUBLIC. ]
If you could be very small or very big for a day, what sort of things would you do?

[ * council should icly be aware of this!! ]

[[ ooc: backdated to a day or so after this]]
I was wondering if
I saw that you
The Mages Guild Council would like to [.......]

Hi, Audrey! [...] Can I [...] ask you a question? It's about

[merrion]
it occurs to me that i still owe you a cup of coffee, i think.

[gillian]
how are

[...] how are you?

[toku & flynn]
aware our new sage is probably too busy to bother with us fledglings anymore --- but would you be able to clear your schedule for some practice soon, perhaps?

[FG Council + Riskbreaker]
Family emergency. Just found out late last night. On my way home. Not sure how long I'll be gone, but once I know, I'll let you know.

[Ari]
Family emergency. Going home.

[Friends]
Going to be out of town for a while. Not sure how long. Don't destroy anything, okay?

Thanks to everyone who came out to support the cast and crew of Romulus and Juliana over its run. I'm about to head out for our last performance, and I want to say that we've enjoyed entertaining you.

[Friends]

But Ajora, am I pleased that's almost over. It's a bit short notice, but I'll be out celebrating this evening, no doubt, and as my birthday is tomorrow, why not combine two occasions? Spoony Bard sometime around eleven, I'd think.

Fair warning, I expect everyone to buy me drinks; I've been sober since winter.

[Aspel]

[...] They've been warned to allow you backstage, if you'd like to stop in after the final act.

[Drake]

I know you object to cast parties but [...............] in honor of my birthday, I hope you'll come.

[Miles]

Speaking of birthdays, would you prefer a cane or a rocking chair, darling?

[Aud]

Considering you're not getting laid anytime soon, I bought you a belated wedding present through which you can live vicariously. You're welcome.

[..............] I also bought myself a ticket to Ordalia. Round-trip, though the one-way was tempting.

[ Council & Sage ]
Sorry this is a day late, I was still recovering from but we've returned from the monastery. We've successfully collected the scrolls, but [...] there's something else we found that was alarming. I can bring it to our next meeting.

[ Ran ]
I'm finally back! Sorry I didn't message you sooner, I was still [...] unwell. But I'm a lot better now, and it was nothing too serious! And [...] I missed you! When [......] can I see you next?

[ Cyrus ]
Thank you again for your help during the trip, and it was great to meet you! I'm feeling a lot better now!

[ Esther ]
Thank you for your help, and I'm so sorry to have bothered you!

[ Drake ]
Hi! It's been a while! How are you?

Trouble in the Outlands, approaching the city. Those who can fight are encouraged to do so. We must do what we can to aid the other guilds as well as the city's inhabitants.

[Toku]

I just had the news from Aspel Councilor Cassul. I am headed out.

The Mages' Guild in Emillion has received word from a secluded monastery in the Outlands. They are offering to donate a caché of White Magic spell scrolls; however, as the monastery is quite out of the way of regular merchant traffic, the Guild is looking to recruit three to six volunteers to make the trek there and retrieve these scrolls, then bring them back to the city, and the Tower.

A map of the area will be provided. Considering the monastery's location, we anticipate the journey there will take more than one day. Our Guild will cover the volunteers' lodging expenses at an inn along the road, and we shall also provide for other traveling expenses.

Ideally, we seek three to four mages as well as two escorts skilled in combat; we do not anticipate this job will pose particular danger, though we must be prepared all the same. At the successful completion of the task, all volunteers will be paid 900g as well as gifted an accessory known as a Leather Gorget, which raises magic attacks when the wearer's health has reached critical levels.

If you would be interested in volunteering your services, please do contact us.


[OOC: Please also respond here for mod tracking purposes; this is MG Quest #2.]

As a reminder, you are encouraged to walk in groups rather than alone, particularly after dark or in the neighborhoods less often patrolled by the Knights of the Peace. If you find yourself in trouble, please defend yourselves - but if possible, in a manner that will cause little harm to any assailants. I have a limited number of Sleep, Bind, and Hold scrolls available for those who wish to peruse them.

As an additional reminder, please continue to show kindness and hospitality to those who have chosen to audit our courses, even if their learning speed is not equal to that of someone trained here from childhood. Your efforts in this regard are greatly appreciated.

[Octavia]

I hope you are feeling better?

[Toku & Merri]

I have been able to sort through some of the papers I found when Perdita assisted me with cleanup on the tenth floor. I have some serious concerns, and still far more questions than answers.

It also seems from my meeting with my contact in the EKP that some individuals are choosing not to report cases of assault or harassment to the guild. I am uncertain what, if anything, should be done.

[Toku]

How is

I found another item of interest when assisting in the library - a black magic scroll that seems quite advanced. It is not a spell I am familiar with, but I though perhaps you might know it, or of it.

[Pyr & Sky]

It may be some time yet before the council floor is livable, and it occurs to me that you may wish not to remain in a barracks indefinitely, Pyr. I am considering renting a house - which I will leave for the two of you to use once I can return to my quarters. What are your thoughts on this? I would prefer not to continue imposing upon the nuns' hospitality.

[Pyr]

[........................................] I have chosen to leave the decision of whether or not to write to Father about your mentor in your hands. Please consider before you decide.

This city is too big. Doesn't everyone get lost here? [...] Does anyone know where I can find a map of the city? Maybe one marked with all the guildhalls [.............] and places to eat and drink.

[FG Council]

I haven't had a chance to stop in yet because I couldn't find Bahamut Hall but Captain Yurgen sends his regards and says you can call on him if need be.

Please let me know how I can be of service.

[Rangers]

Who else is stationed here now? I haven't seen a familiar face in

[Cas]

You said you were coming here, but this place is too big to find a person easily. If you're reading this, answer. You'd better not be dead.

On behalf of the Mages' Guild, I would like to thank those who have so far contributed to the reconstruction efforts around Emillion as well as in the environs of the Mages' Tower, including of course those who have given their support to those who needed it. There is much left to accomplish yet, but I am proud to announce that repairs are coming along nicely.

The Fighters' and Bards' Guild have our heartfelt appreciation as well, for their invaluable support and their continuing efforts to cooperate with our guild to make Emillion a better and safer place to live in.

The offer of assistance that I announced weeks ago as Councilor still stands, and I would like to renew it as Sage. Any who find themselves in need of help may come to us, if they so wish, and we will do our best to provide.

Additionally, as the lower floors of the Tower are completely rebuilt and classes have resumed, I would like to invite those still concerned with the way our guild operates to come observe one or several of the basic classes being taught to scholars, over the next month and starting this upcoming Monday. A list of classes available for free audit will be made public this evening. Members of the other guilds and citizens alike are welcome to attend, with the understanding that the Tower is a place of learning and that atmosphere should not be disturbed. We also cannot promise that those who attend will emerge accomplished casters, as such is a matter of magical affinity and discipline, though our instructors will be happy to answer lesson-related questions as they would for any other student.

[ MG ]

First of all, thank you to everyone who took the time to vote during the recent election, as well as those who have assisted, and continue to assist, with reconstruction efforts. It is thanks to those efforts that we can make use of the Tower in semi-normal conditions again.

Further information will follow soon. For the moment, know that assistance will of course be given to those who ask and, should you have any concerns, you are encouraged to bring them up with either myself or the Council.

Be safe.

So, I'm starting to think that I'm never going to get to sleep in again. That is just depressing. How is everyone else doing?

[ Ari ]
I'll see you tomorrow night. ♥

[ Aspel ]
[..................] Thanks for the basket. Are we [.......] still on for R+J sometime during its run?

[ Ric ]
Haven't heard or seen you. You better be alive, Cassul.

[ Caspar ]
I heard you healed up pretty.

[ Riv ]
So, your chocobo doesn't run around the guild halls, right?

You'd hardly know the area around the Sphere fell prey to giant turtles anymore.

I'm looking for a new favorite restaurant, however, as the owners of Le Petit Café appear to have [...] left town. Suggestions?

[Friends]

A dreadful dress rehearsal does portend a good show, right?

[Aspel]

[.............................................] Thank you.

[ Flynn ]
Thank you for the flowers but [...]. I know things are really difficult right now, especially for you and I know you're doing the best you can. Please, let me know if you ever need anything at all.

[ Peony, Toku ]
I [......] have a thought [......] and a worry. Is it possible we might [...] see that monster again?

[ Ran ]
Do you want to come with me to see Romulus and Juliana sometime soon? It's one of my favorites even if it doesn't have a happy ending.

[ Drake ]
Sorry I haven't been in touch! I've just been [.....] busy. How are you?

( delivered to each of the MG councilors )

With the departure of Vivian Xi, our guild is left without a Sage, and because of the many troubles the Guild and the city face, it is a seat we cannot allow to remain vacant for much longer.

Therefore, on Taurus 18, we will be holding elections for a new Sage. Any guild member with experience is eligible, and all guild members and associates, to include scholars, may participate in the vote. Candidates may self-nominate or be nominated by their peers.

Over the course of the next week, we will be holding a forum over the network so that the candidates may be presented with and provide answers to your questions.

Thank you, and Faram be with you all.
