Emillion Communications Network

It is likely that this battle will continue through the night. If you are tired or injured, please seek rest, food, and healing. No hume can fight exhausted, and darkness makes it doubly treacherous. There are others who are not yet spent who can keep the beasts at bay in your stead, and you can return to the field fresh and more capable with a few hours' rest.

The Tenements District clinic is serving food and providing healing to those who can get there. There may be other safe havens available. Please use caution when moving about the city. The high levels of Mist may make crystal transport unreliable.

[Guild Councils]

Assistance in arranging shifts would be welcome. I believe we may need to regroup in the morning if we are to quell the threat.

[MG Council]

We must find a better way to contain her.

[Jareth]

Thank you. You got him to safety?

[Pyr]

Stay where you are, please. [...] For me.

[Sky]

If you see this, please answer.

[CIAN]
Does etiquette decree that you owe me dinner or something now? Loser.

[MAG]
Congratulations; it was good flying.

[AUDREY]
So I accidentally won a stuffed Moogle in one of those shooting games at the festival. Care for it?

[RIYEKO]
A breakthrough. I'm pleased to announce that I've found your man.

I'd ask if we can all resolve to have fewer near-death experiences this year, but that'd be optimistic. Here's to surviving another year, I guess.

[High Stakes Group]

New year, new schedule. Next game's Aries 8th, Docks warehouse. Start at 11:30pm.

[Ash]

Marek won't be bothering you again, [...] Any more trouble since the last bit got cleared up?

Also, I've got something for you.

[Riyeko]

I need something made, but I'm not sure it's viable, since I've never seen one before. Essentially: some kind of door or window scanner that emits magic. Doesn't have to be much - just enough to clear Vanish. Think it's doable?

[Fee]

Got an assignment for you, if you're interested in something a little out of the norm.

[Siri]

You interested in another flight sometime soon? Might not be as exciting as our last one.

[Aud]

Looking forward to your engagement party, tiny. You going to put on a show for us?

( 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.

Something's come up, pretty suddenly. It's a family thing. I'll be leaving Emillion within the week, and I'm not sure when I'll be back. Just wanted to [...] say goodbye, I guess. I'm grateful for the way you've all supported me.

I was wondering! The spell Esuna, how does it work? Does it cause a quickened recovery of the persons own natural healing rate/immune system from alignments? Or does it just inject wellness into the person fixing everything that's wrong with them like a super disease cleaning system?

Does anyone know of any studies or research to harvest huge effects of esuna to make it into a preventative measure instead of a responsive?

Also! What about the float spell? Does that just raise the person off the ground, or can it cause inanimate objects to levitate as well?

Oh dear... I've run into a slight problem. My kitten Hypnos appears to have gotten stuck up a tree and much as I've tried I just can't reach him to get him down.

Sid, if you're not too busy, could you help me please?

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.

If there are any lingering concerns, issues, or shortages in the wake of our recent challenges, please remember that the Council's doors are always open and we are glad to assist you.

[Pyr & Sky]

I was able to procure one more ticket for the gala on short notice. I have given the four tickets to Father. I hope you will enjoy the show, and I will see you a few days later, at midnight mass.

[.....................................] I will, of course, host dinner on Faram's Mass, before your departure the next day.

[Riyeko]

Are you busy this evening?

[Merrion]

I hope you are feeling fully recovered? [...] Please make certain to take time to spend with your mother while she is here. I will be glad to cover any additional tasks if you need me.

[Toku]

I have

I hope that everyone is healthy and staying warm. I am very glad to see the city returning to peace and prosperity.

[Siana]

How fares your family?

[Riyeko]

Perhaps now, with the turmoil settling, we should consider rescheduling that dinner?

[Pyr & Sky]

If you have an interest, I have acquired three tickets for the upcoming holiday gala. I am told the show shall be quite eclectic and the dinner enjoyable. [...] Would you like to attend with me?

[Ridley]
I need you to make a few deliveries for me today. And then come back to the clinic with some coffee and ready to take notes.

[Darius]
Peony's asked me to send her my notes on the outland village plague. I'm sending you a copy of all these things, because this shit is magic based and we all know I'm fucked at that. Apparently, she wants us to prepare for an epidemic right here in the city. Come by the clinic at your convenience. By your convenience I mean as soon as possible.

[Sabina]
I hope you don't mind if I invite Darius to join us.

[Emily]
You should stay inside and away from people for a while.

[Riyeko]
How is your progress on the spell amplifier? We might need it sooner rather than later.

[Cid]
I need to borrow the thing in your lab.

Might anyone have recommendations for books on central Ordalian history during the Imperial occupation and subsequent revolution?

[Riyeko]

Thank you very much for lunch - it was such a pleasant surprise.

[Pyr & Sky]

I have not seen you in some time due to [....] difficulties at work, and I apologize. Are you well?

[Penelope]

I have a favor to ask, if you are amenable.

[Kiernan & Lavitz]

Might one of you be available for a small job on Thursday morning of this week?

[Ade]
[after this]

It has been suggested that I contact you regarding a small escort job for this coming Thursday. It has been some time since we last worked together, but I would be glad to have your company, if you are available.

Does anyone have any reasonable suggestions for holiday shopping? It's the time of year to buy presents I mean it's not that I didn't think about this sooner, because I did I just didn't know how to go about it or where to go, and I've been so busy with my inventions and things that it's totally forgivable, right?

[Cian.]
I know I've asked a lot of you already but I think it might be a good period to start considering when the sSecond test run could be for the project soon?

[Peony.]
We haven't done dinner in a while, have we? How are your brothers? Has the council work been easier? I know I just saw you last week but I was so caught up in the invention testing that I was totally completely rude and didn't really ask you these questions although I totally should have and I was a really terrible friend and I'm sorry and can you forgive me?

[Lea.]
I think the projector is up for another test run. I'm on to the third model at this point and think I've squared away enough of the structural and functional features at this time to make it a much more reasonable device to carry assuming I can shrink it down at least once more before the final model is released to any group as a whole, but I think it shouldn't be too hard, but I've been changing the design to store specific imagery instead of projecting alternative scenes across an area so that it can be more contained. [...........] Part of the problems is deciding precisely what images we want preloaded into the device and how easily functional we want to allow the uploading of new images. There's also potential profit to be made if we pre-load a specific set of images and then have them have to come back to pay us to change them out. It won't last forever as someone will crack it eventually, but it could be good for a little while. Also, I don't know if there's any sort of reward we can give him or anything but Mr. Cian Wilde has been a really big help with the test runs and info on the sewers throughout the project so far.

[Cormac.]
I had Peony test the spell expander and it was really impressive, I have a lot of data that I'm still converting over into properly functional statistics in order to make it a reasonable large scale device but it's still going to take a lot of work at this time and I'm not sure if it's going to make sense to roll this out to a lot of people for quite a while still but I think it could work, and we integrated the rocket boots too!!!! to get a better feel for how distancing might come into play with some of the spell aiming and it was awesome.

[Toku.]
I heard you're back. Are you okay? Should I bring something over to cheer you up? Would you like Mochi? Hi.

[Pyr & Sky.]
Want to help me test something? You have to promise that you won't break it though, ok?

[Nate.]
Are you ok? How are you? There's some wires and things I have that you can use [..........] I tested the rocket boots last week!

Hello everyone!

So I've decided today that I think I will be taking up music. Who can help me with this? I'm rather brilliant and will be a fantastic student. I'll trade you knowledge on Time Magic!

Word to the wise: don't play footsie in a lab. It may be tempting, romantic/corrosive substances & all—

Don't.

[Fee.]
You've been quiet. How do I live without you, &c?

[Riyeko.]
Got something for you to look at.

Game Virgo 28th, basement of the Opal House, starting 10pm.

[Ash]

Isn't your knockout match coming up soon?

[Fee]

Last of the rats are dealt with. Shouldn't be any more trouble from our end.

[Aud]

Sorry for moving the meeting time out on you, I've been dealing with some [..........] issues. Tomorrow or Saturday work for you? I need those papers.

[Riyeko]

Any luck fixing your projector?

[Rin]

I've been thinking about you. Come out with me again.

[Ridley]

[............................................................................] Thanks. The soup was good. Why the hell did you even

( Delivered to Riyeko's workshop )

[Quenten]

Best of luck on your exam today, Quenten.

[Riyeko]

A very happy birthday to you. Will you be home this afternoon?

[Siana]

Alas, I am once again unable to join you at the reported crime scene, but I hope you might indulge me with another memstone, should you find anything of note. My apologies for my unfortunate schedule these last months; I believe I should be more available come next week.

[Ophion]

I would like to speak to you regarding a matter of mentorship. Might you be willing to consider a student in the near future?

[Kiernan]

Thank you again for your assistance the other day. Would you be interested in hiring on to future outings of this nature?

[Riyeko]

I believe Quiz may miss you and Ratchet. He has been meowing most insistently at the bowl you left in my quarters the last time you were here a few weeks ago. Perhaps I can tempt you two into a visit with ohagi? It is nearly the season for them.

[Ladies Who Lunch]

My apologies for being so absent these last months. This week is likely to be more of the same, but perhaps next Sunday, Virgo 17, we might meet after mass? I have missed your company.

[Pyr & Sky]

[…] You will both find packed lunches in your respective rooms when you return there today. I was told upon my visit early this morning that you were already at training. It appears you are working quite hard.

[Penelope]
[[OOC: after this.]]

I believe I may owe you an apology.
