Emillion Communications Network

Hey, here's a thought. How about everyone keeps their fucking hands to themselves and doesn't touch me, because I'm going to hurt you if you try, how about that? HOW ABOUT I SHOVE YOU INTO WALLS AND CALL YOU A MENACE TO SOCIETY AND THEN I'LL EVEN SPIT ON YOU TO BOOT

AND THEN I'LL LAUGH IN YOUR FACE

HOW'S THAT

SOUND FAIR TO EVERYOPNE

GOOD

[...] 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

Sorry for worrying you.

[Aud]

I'm sober. And I'm going back to work. And I'm capitalizing. Aren't you proud?

[...............................] How's marriage?

[Scarlet]

Thank you. Are you doing okay?

[Drake]

So I've been thinking

Hi. Are you doing all right? [...] There's no more glass on my floor. I thought you should know.

[Aspel]

Can we just pretend

Hi.

Let us not forget, in these troubled times, that while it is true the Mages' Guild saw their Guildmaster at the center of the recent attack on the city, one person's evil cannot erase the good done by hundreds. The value of the Mages Guild's past efforts to defend us from harm, efforts which they replicated during this past tragedy, is not diminished by their late Sage's rampage. It may well be that words and apologies will not bring back what was lost, but neither will hostility. We must have faith.

[ Merri ]
How are you holding up?

I couldn't find the time to inform you about what happened at lunch, but [....] two men approached me and were very hostile toward me. They spoke unkindly about my position at the clinic, and were rather disdainful toward you. I'm unsure if this will remain an isolated event, but please be wary nonetheless of anyone approaching you with any hostility.

[....] I have also scheduled both meetings with the prospective housekeepers for Sunday morning, if this suits.

[ JULIETTE. ]
Thank you again, for earlier.

[ PYR, SKY, PERDITA. ]
Are you all well?

Well, that was an inauspicious start to the new year. I am quite glad to be out of bed!

[FILTER: CECELIA FENNES]
The healer gave me your name before I left the clinic. Thank you for rescuing me, Miss Fennes, I am in your debt.

[...] It has also occurred to me that we haven't been properly introduced. My name is Perdita Arkady, I'm a Scholar in the Mage Guild. I do wish we had met under better circumstances.

[FILTER: JULIETTE COULOMBE]
Oh, Juliette, I am so sorry for missing your sister's engagement party! The healer insisted that I stay in bed after I was released from the clinic. I sent a message about the situation, but I'm not sure if you received it.

[FILTER: PEONY MIN]
The papers haven't piled up too high while I've been resting, have they? I had the strangest dream about a sea of papers on the seventh floor and an origami contest.

Do you know what's a fantastic start to the new year? A gross old berserker old enough to be your father's father slapping your backside when you bend over to pick up the fork he dropped, probably on purpose. Good morning and happy new year, everybody. >:(

FILTERED TO SECRET CUCUMBERS.

Disguises, guys? Really?

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.

( You've got mail! )

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.

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.

[after this and this]

If you saw a very large, very deep hole in the ground, the bottom of which was invisible, would you jump into it?

[..............] I am beginning to suspect this irrational impulse to be restricted to boys.

[Pyr]

[.........................................] If you happen across the very large hole in the Nobles' District, I would appreciate it if you did not choose to explore it by falling in.

Moogles, Bangaas, Seeqs, and Vieras. I think trips on the larger air cabs would be much more interesting if history had taken a different course.

[FILTER: PEONY MIN]
Councilor Min, are you still in your office? A letter was just dropped off in the Tower lobby, and it's addressed to you. If you're still in, I can bring it by your office.

[FILTER: ARI CHIARO]
Ari actrice, how are you? I'm so very sorry for my silence, I've been studying for what feels like an eon. Hopefully it hasn't actually been an eon, otherwise I'm going to be very disappointed when I step outside of the Tower and discover that Lux & Livre is covered under more than several strata of rock.

[FILTER: SCHOLARS]
Would anyone be interested in forming a study group focusing on spellcasting? Not that I'm suggesting some sort of dueling club--how absurd! Something more along the lines of group target practice where we compare notes afterwards.

[ THE TWINS, JULIETTE & PERDITA. ]
How are you all?

[ PEONY. ]
Dinah has developed a small sneeze. Does this mean she's ill or perhaps allergic to something?

[ SAFFRON. ]
It's mother's birthday tomorrow. Would you like to do something?

Sleep with a snake, see how far that gets you.

[[ooc: per the ooc sign-ups, the quest itself is open only to: perdita, pyr, ridley, sky]]

[.........................] Do any of you have the ability to assist me with a [...] job I have been tasked to do for Countess Albrecht?

She asks that I and a few friends assist in minding a shop in the Bazaar next week. There is compensation for the matter, as I understand it.

If there are several of us perhaps we can split the work so that no one need miss training.

[Ridley]

I know it is no doubt terribly inconvenient and you have work of your own as well, but [..................] you are the only person I know with any skill in such matters.

I would be very grateful if you would be willing to assist, even a little.

To the person who threw the rock through my mother's store window, you're not going to fucking like it when I find you.

[ FRIENDS, no councilors. ]
GONNA FUCKING HURT SOMEONE

THERE ARE THREE VOICES IN MY HEAD SAYING I SHOULDN'T BUT I DON'T GIVE A SHIT

I suppose attempting to test my skills against the bomb was not among the smartest decisions I've made of late, but I am pleased to note we all survived.

As a Valendian girl born and bred, having just celebrated the new year, I feel compelled to ask if anyone else has made any horribly optimistic new year's resolutions. Just for curiosity's sake, mind, and the inevitable self-comparison(!)

[RiLi]
A question. Is this Riyeko Lionward, the machinist?

[Cian]
Gl

Catching up on work after that plague is atrocious. It's been a month, and yet.

Someone please tell me there weren't really giant bugs rampaging through the Aerodrome yesterday?
