[Loch & Ari]

Bastard bit off more than he can chew.

[Filter: Wolfe]

Old man.

[Filter: Gillian]

If monsters keep appearing we should raise our fees. I mean, my life is on the line here, bosslady.

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!! ]

[Filter: Gillian]

If furniture picking in your resume?

[Filter: Scarlet]

Got a new place. Just getting some furniture then you can have a set of keys.

It's good to be home.

[Friends]

So tell me, what exciting things did I miss?

[Miles]

You've been too quiet. Has marriage actually made you dull? I was only joking!

[Flynn]

Darling, tell me you've resolved your dog problem? And by the way, I missed you too~ ♥

[Scarlet]

You're a treasure, but you didn't have to clean my flat, you know!

[Aud]

So, I forgot to mention when you were over yesterday, but I tried talking to Aspel. It was sort of not a disaster.

[Chloë]

Exciting birthday plans?

[Aspel]

[.....................................] We should go dancing this weekend~ ♥ To celebrate the fact that you're still in one piece, of course.

Thirty-four. Is that close enough to forty to start pitching fits and temper tantrums?


[AUDREY]
Or can my birthday present be moving out of this damned house yet?

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.

[Miles]

For the record, I didn't touch your wife. Or whatever.

[Loch]

Apparently there is an alcohol shortage. Or maybe it is just my sister pulling my leg. Either way, I'm going to beat up people and steal their alcohol.

[Mathieu]

Fuzzy little man peach, need to ask something.

In case you were wondering, comas are fucking terrible. What did I miss?

[Rangers]

What... happened? Someone please just tell me what the fuck happened.

The whole docks area's still a work in progress, but the market's back to normalcy. [...] Not as many vendors as there used to be, but the quality of the products hasn't dropped. Still the best place in town to find fresh fish and seafood, and import goods.

[ Cian ]
And speaking of import goods. You found a replacement for Sevrin yet?

[ Clients filter ] (ooc: for people who've purchased poisons/traps from her in the past, shady types)
Back in business. Taking on commissions again. Appointment only, as usual.

[ Sky ]
Arwel's store's a heap of rubble, but we found his books. You're the one used to be in charge of that, no?

If only Emillion could be rebuilt on the sheer amount of gossiping, then I wouldn't have to sit around and hear this shit over breakfast at some prissy brunch establishment.

[FILTER: RIVALEN]

Homewrecker. That's a new one.

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.

what's wrong with this city?

[chloë]
don't even start.

[darius]
hehehehhehe.

[kiernan]
hehehehhehe.

[miles]
what the fuck. you're "gone" for a bit and now all i hear is about how im in the market for a samurai. i genuinely don't even like samurai. ninjas are infinitely better.

[rivalen]
what the fuck did you do?

[scarlet]
did your mother drop your brother as a baby, is that it?

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?

Okay, I need a fucking drink. Are there any bars left which are not in pieces?

[Scarlet]

Kwee needs a bath.

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.

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

Our thoughts go out to everyone that has been affected by this tragedy. For the displaced, there is some room at the standing guild halls, but we won't be able to accommodate everyone, unfortunately. If you know of anywhere with spare rooms or beds, please let us know so that we can make sure everyone has a place to sleep.

If there is anything that I can do to help, please don't hesitate to ask.

[ FG. ]
I am more thankful than words can say about how quickly everyone rallied together. To everyone, thank you.

That being said, this wasn't without casualty. Known losses?

[ FG Council. ]
Thoughts on how to respond to all of this? We need to do something.

Also, the Mages' Guild. There's going to be backlash. What do we do about it?

[ Aspel. ]
Tell me you're okay. Please.

[ Ari. ]
How're you holding up, darling? Do you need anything?

[ Rictor, Merri. ] separately
You alive?

[ Squires + Juliette. ]
Locations? I want to make sure you're all

[ Lex. ]
I heard you were out there. Are you okay?

This city is Faram fucking fucked.


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

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.
