Emillion Communications Network

You know, the way shit seems to go on here? I'd be surprised if the damn city was still standing by the new year.

[ Cian ]
We need to talk. You got some time tonight?

[ Merry Women ]
So, that exhibit I was talking about? In town in two weeks. Building is still mapped, and it's a traveling exhibit, so nothing like that fucking vault bullshit. We find someone who can create quality dupes, and we can take it easy.

[ Sky ]
Hey kid. You got some free time, or is Loch keeping you busy?

Okay, seriously? This weather is making my hair completely unmanageable. Anyone know where I can get a nice hair serum? Or is there, like, some kind of spell I can use?

[Lame Boy]
So, I'm just being nice, but I hope you're not dead somewhere. So there.

[Ari]
I was just wondering how you made that giant crater. Is there a song or something that does that?

I've been thinking. Miles might have been our glorious ringleader, but that doesn't mean we're not independent, free-thinking people who can't do shit by or for themselves. So do we keep heisting on our own terms, or is that it? I can't say I won't be sorry for it to end, if it does.

[ SKY. ]
Consider those acting lessons yet?

[ CIAN. ]
How's business going?

Has anyone ever finished the library's edition of A History of White Magic? I've not yet reached the halfway point, but I feel as though I've been reading forever.

[ PYR. ]
I may be a little late to our session tomorrow, I apologize.

[ TOKU. ]
How are you acclimating to your position as Sage? If [...] that is not too forward of me to ask.

[ THE BBS, aka juliette & the twins. ]
It's been some time since we were all together, hasn't it?

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.

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?

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?

Are you safe? Jareth said he'd find you. Are you with him? I'm at Lindwyrm Hall!

[ Juliette ]
You're okay, right? You stayed away from the huge monster? Please, if you see this answer! I'm holed up at Lindwyrm Hall with a lot of other squires. It's really dangerous out there, you should come!

[ Peony ]
[......] Whatever happens, please stay safe.

Lavi Lord fon Amell, my name is Pyr Min and I am writing to offer you a wonderful deal.

As it happens, my brother and I know something about the mysterious ninja admirer that has been giving your dog presents over the past months. We're willing to share that information with you in exchange for a scale your dragon doesn't need, for the scavenger hunt. It's an offer you can't refuse! And we really need that sc

[ Sky ]
This is possibly the best idea we've ever had.

( given to the twins at some point in the day )

I've never celebrated the end of Pisces before but since everyone's making resolutions I guess my goal for this year is to, uh, find the ultimate napping spot? Suggestions welcome.

[ Sky ]
So since we got some otoshidama money I was trying to find out if anyone in the Bazaar sells baby dragons but I haven't found any sellers yet. I'm still looking, though. Maybe Arwel knows something?

[ Juliette ]
How are you doing? [.....] And uh should Sky and I bring anything to your sister's party? And has your sister told you anything about

[ Conan ]
Your birthday party was awesome! The cake was really good, your mom's great at baking!

Is anyone aware of where I might acquire an item that grants the Float effect on a fixed as opposed to temporary basis?

[Pyr & Sky]

Will you be busy on the first day of the new year?

Additionally, I know your birthday is coming up soon. In addition to the cake I promised you, Sky, I would like to offer the following to both of you: a visit to an armor, weapon, or accessory vendor of your choice, and any one item of your choosing - each - in place of something chosen by me. Within reason, of course.

[Toku]

I would like to take you up on your open offer. Have you any Air-elemental spells in your arsenal that you feel I may reasonably be able to master?

[Ridley]

Have you considered engaging a housekeeper for Cormac? You may wish to suggest it and see if he can find the budget to spare. I believe it may improve his well-being considerably to have someone helping with household tasks at his residence.

[Cecilia, Siri, Tlisa - separately]

How are your studies progressing?

[Friends and Colleagues - apply as makes sense!]

If I do not find the opportunity to see you over the course of the next two days, I would like to thank you for your continued support as this year draws to a close. I appreciate your presence in my life and the positive effects you have had upon it.

[Aspel] [[added after this]]

It has been some time since I have visited your forge, but I am wondering if you still take commissions.

[Before the invitations arrive.]

[EVANDER, RHYS, TOM]
Mayday. Your services are required. Lord Norwood is in need of a respectable, recognisable best man -- Lord Finch, would you be available? -- and some genteel best men. Some cousins from abroad or similar nonsense. Rhys, Thomas, get your disguises ready, it'll be a hoot.

Oh, and he's getting married. So there's that.

[COLIN, EVANDER, MATHIEU, RHYS, TOM] handwave that he mentioned this before, just so it's less ~out of the blue~
A followup to my aforementioned proposition. The preparations are now complete: the town of Wildebarrow, Aries 1st and 2nd, we'll ride up and perform the New Years' Day concert and then get the hell out of the podunk mountain town once our hands are full. Are we all in, gentlemen?

Additionally, if anyone knows a discreet carriage rental...? I grew spoiled with having an airship at my beck and call. Alas, those days are no more!

[SKY & AUDREY]
So I hear we're to put you through your paces, Min.

[PUBLIC]
Rehearsal, rehearsal, rehearsal. I suppose this is the life now.

( 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.

If any assistance is required that can be rendered by the guild at large or myself personally, please do not hesitate to reach out.

My condolences to those who suffered property damage or injury. If you are hurt, please make certain to visit a clinic.

[Friends]

I hope your lives have not been too disrupted by last night's unfortunate circumstance. If I can help in any way, please let me know.

[Twins]

As I understand it, the Docks suffered little in the way of impact. Can you please confirm that you are well?

[ 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?

Hey, you remember my friend Juliette? She needs to play shopkeeper for a week for some friend of hers and she needs a hand. Want to help out? I'll be there too.

[ Jareth ]
So, uh, I won't be running with Councilor Cassul in the mornings anymore, so could we maybe have our training session a little later than eight so I can sleep in? [...] Please?

[[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.

With the holidays at last behind us and both of us recovered, I would like to speak to you regarding the [...] man you and Merrion fought outside the Tower before Faram's Mass. I am not content to let this occurrence lie; I have too many questions remaining, even with the beast vanquished. Have you the time to meet with me?

[Siana & Jareth]

Have you any insight you may be able to share regarding the troubling occurrences prior to the holiday? I must admit I am still searching for clarity. Would you, perhaps, be available to meet with me so that we may discuss pooling our resources once more?

[Twins]

It is colder here than you are likely accustomed to. Please let me know if you require warmer outerwear and I will gladly accompany you to the Bazaar.

[....] Perhaps hot cocoa after may help with the chill.

[Ridley]

I trust your small friend is adjusting well to her new home?
