It would seem that very honorable guests have arrived to our city. I wonder what the rumor mongers are hearing about now.

At least they won't complain about the chill.

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

Ladies and gentleman, I have before you an apple crisp that I baked without burning the kitchen down. Please, hold the applause. I know, it's a marvel.

[ FG. ]
In all seriousness, I've got baked goods if anyone wants them left in the kitchens. I've become a crazy baker.

[ FRIENDS. ]
I know I've been scarce between training and freaking out about my exam, but since it's been postponed, we should do something. [....] Not all together at once, I mean.

[ JULIETTE. ]
How has your training been going?

[ PYR. ]
I never thanked you for getting Hypnos for my sister, so thanks. [....] I also met your brother. He looks exactly like you, but messier.

Lately it seems I spend at least one weekend a month fighting some kind of monster. What's happening to the good old weekend traditions, like drinking other people under the table?

[ Lavitz ]
Puppy update?

[ Aspel ]
I bought a bottle of plum liquor from a merchant at the Bazaar. Imported directly from Sako Island. The guy said it's strong enough to get us both drunk off our asses, no matter how good we are at holding our drink. He said if it doesn't work, he'll give me my money back.

Free tomorrow evening?

They happened earlier. The puppies. [......] If you'd like to come see them.

[ FRIENDS. ]
How in the name of Faram am I supposed to take care of five newborn puppies? Fuck

Next person who tosses snow at me is getting tossed in a river.

[ Peony Min ]
[...] I'll be mentoring your brother.

[ Pyr Min ]
[....] I assume Thornton informed you. I'm Monaco. I'll be your [...] mentor.

[ Aspel Cassul & Xiaoli Fa ]
Have either of you ever had a mentee?

[ Divina Marcos ]
You've got a mentee. What the fuck do you do with it?

[ Siana Banes ]
I got assigned a mentee. Did I piss Thornton off?

Seeing as how I no longer feel utterly miserable, I do believe this calls for celebration. Quiet, nice, alcohol free celebration, at least for me.

So this is out for all of you who had a terrible couple of weeks as well; tomorrow night, Lan's Lounge will be offering a variety of virgin beverages, all free of charge until midnight.

Please come, or I'll probably drink them all myself.

[Mages Council + Bards Council.]

hail kindly fellows!
after digging around the archives— & please do thank the archivist,
we have (what they tell me),
are the late great p. fitzwilliam's personal manuscripts:
songs of the sages
a red mage's journey through valendia
assorted things and sundry.

friendly exchange betwixt us m'hap?

[Bram.]

papers for you to sign!
volunteers for me, good sir?

[Azalea.]

meeting soon,
and by that i mean you + me + sackheim,
wine and paperwork.

I got nothing against the stink of fish, and I like living by the sea. So fuck you all.

[ Damia ]
Looks like we set some tongues wagging, darling. I'd be heartbroken you're using me to get you a ship, but since I'm apparently using you to move up in the world, I gotta say, sounds like this works out all right for both of us.

[ Ash ]
Nobles sure know how to use their imagination. Flirted a tad with Damia at a ball and apparently that means we're having wild sex all over the place. Leave her in a heartbeat for you, though. Lacks excitement. She probably couldn't kick my ass like you did last week.

[ Lan ]
Got your delivery. You'll hear from me in a few days.

[ KIERNAN. ]
How do I [...] My thoughts are with you, Kiernan. I'm sorry I couldn't come, but my brothers and I are thinking of you.

[ LAN, RIN & ARI. ]
I really did mean to say thanks for Friday, but I got distracted. I had a good time, even if I snorted water up my nose a couple times. I feel bad that I could relax while Kiernan's

[ LAN. ]
How's the kitty cat?

[ AMOS. ]
Father, might I be able to take you up on that monastery trip sometime?

[ FOXE. ]
Would it be alright if I sent my brothers to you for Dragon Rider inquiries? I [...] don't want them to bother Kiernan when he's back, or Lavitz, who probably went with him.

[ PEONY. ]
Can I [.....] ask a favor?

[ PUBLIC. ]
Twenty-three years in this house, and I still can't avoid catching colds from sick family members. There must be some magical trick that doesn't involve not touching anything or avoiding brothers like they're dying from a plague.

And as of this morning, my mother has officially put up the Faram's Mass decorations weeks too early. You will see my house from a mile away, now.

[Damia Ravin]

So about that ship you were looking for...

[Loch Lemach]

I think I might need some special knives soon.

[Miles Baines]

Hello there. How are you doing?

[Ofelia Zhou]

I wonder if you could help me find someone. Not a specific person, but a specific kind of person, you might say.

So typing one-handed is awful.

I'm sure I'll break - ha - this promise to myself eventually, but no more walking home in a state of inebriation. This is the dumbest injury of my life thus far. If I forget, remind me.

Today's only redeeming quality is the fact that I have a rather nice job for Faram's Mass. I saw a few familiar names on the cast list for the gala, actually.

[Friends]

This pain medication is horrible and I can't concentrate to read anything like an actual book. Please amuse me, I am begging you.

[Aud]

You were right. I should have just stayed the night.

[Miles]

Needless to say, now that we are finally working together on a stage again, I will be missing the first few days of rehearsal. I'm still coming to Godot later this week though, assuming I'm not this woozy after a couple days.

Believe it or not, I just saw a store in the Bazaar putting up Faram's Mass decorations. Hell's hungry kittens, Holy Saints was only two days ago!

[ Bram ]

On Eve of the H Are you all ri Hope your weekend's going well so far. [....] If not, I'm sure I could get my hands on a bottle of something or other for us to destroy.

[ Ofelia ]

Plans for your birthday? Hope you're not working too hard today.

[ Storm ]

How is your training progressing? Getting used to the sword?

[ Vivi ]

When you mentioned some time ago your mother may be scheming, I
I think we all underestimated your mother
That offer I made you to go intimidate Orsinio still stands. [...] Do you need anything else?

[ Aspel ]

Have you had a chance to talk to Vivi since the ball? [....] I'm not sure it's a good thing we managed to master the urge to punch Count Orsinio in the face.

[ Aspel & Azalea ]

Do either of you lovely ladies have a compelling reason why I should not go find Count Orsinio right this instant and punch him in the face?

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!

I do hope everyone intends to have an enchanting time tomorrow evening. Such a festive occasion happens but once a year.

[ACQUAINTANCES -- apply liberally]
In keeping with tradition, I shall be hosting a ball at my parents' estate for the holiday and my birthday this Friday. Do feel free to come however you wish.

[OLQ]
I do hope to see you all there, of course.

Monthly check-in—your Libras have had more spoils than just Bierfest pickings, I expect? Filter as appropriate, everything's encrypted.

m. baines & red.
How's Scorpio looking for you gentlemen?

e. finch.
Got anything for me, honey?

sasaki.
Your routes have been fantastic, thank you. Made any progress?

Oh, look, another year gone by. I'm terribly insulted no one has thrown me a parade, but I could settle for doves bursting out of a large pie. I'll even feign surprise.

[ MILES. ]
My life is regrettably lonely and empty without you, whatever would I do without your financial support, etc etc. When is that next job you mentioned?

I find cleaning up oddly cathartic. Clears the mind, and it's a good way to kill time, not to mention everything looks better afterwards. Besides, the bigger the cleaning, the better the party.

Does anyone else share the sentiment?

[Alcuin]

I haven't heard of you in a few days. Having fun dear?
