Homesick

[Action]

There's a huge amount of work to be done before the liberation force can just up and leave Sanctuary. Diplomatic agreements have to be made between the ruling bodies of all the cities involved in this mess. Warp Band facilities need to be set up in Sanctuary to link it to the other free cities. Gigas' occupation force needs to be watched to make sure they're actually leaving and not starting any trouble. Citizens of Sanctuary need to be reassured during all this chaos.

If YOU happen to be in Sanctuary, you're probably an expert who needs grunt labor that this squad of Calderan soldiers and their pretty lieutenant can fulfill nicely since they don't have anything better to be doing at the moment.

"Command sent us over. Said you needed manpower. What needs doing? I will drag things around with my teeth if it helps me get out of here sooner."

[The feed flips on. It's slightly static-y, but clear enough to make out a young, dark skinned woman looking into the lense.]

Aaaaaand we're live! That's right folks, the eggheads just set up the warp band receiver in Sanctuary so we are back on the grid and I can finally share just how much of a dump this town is. Land of magic and knowledge? More like land of fog and bad cooking.

Cheer me up with tales of excitement and fun from Caldera! Or from Union. That's a pretty fun town too.

A (very unexpected) birthday party

[future_sight]

[Action; Hikawa Shrine (backdated to 6/9)]

[ Eli had been cooking up something for quite some time now. It was hard not to notice, with much of her time outside of work taken up by "other important things," as the blond put it. Nozomi was smart, she had an idea of what it could be, but somehow in her own mind she came up with reason for that to not be the case.

Her birthday wasn't really that important. It was just another day, after all. She would probably work the shop, maybe pick up a cake for everyone to share with dinner. It would be somewhat business as normal.

But that morning, she was woken up with a kiss and directions to get dressed. They were going somewhere. The shop would be taken care of. Confused, she put on a new dress and went along with Eli's grand plan.

It became clear that she was being led to the Hikawa Shrine, but still somewhere in her mind she came up with reasons other than the obvious. Rei needed her for something, and called on Elichi instead. Was there some sort of event going on? Was Rei out maybe? That was the most common reason for her to help out. Rei's grandfather was getting up there in years, and while he would never admit it himself, there were times when he needed help as his granddaughter went traveling with Ami and Makoto.

Needless to say, she was none the wiser.

The shrine seemed relatively the same as it always did on the outside. The surprise was waiting inside. ]

Right. Isabela here.

[Wearing a jaunty hat she probably stole, Isabela greets Union from the Port, specifically the deck of Pathfinder.]

That was a bit of a messed-up little campaign, but we all made it back alive and with some new friends, eh? Something told me a place named Sanctuary was suspicious...least I didn't get stabbed.

Anyway, in celebration of our success there, I'm offering steamship trips to the Tropical Island half off for the rest of the week, departing from the port at 9am and returning at 11pm sharp-like. Get your beach gear and shirtless Calderan men together and get ready for a party.

[Video; private to Banzu]

By the way, I'll be helming Pathfinder for the rest of the week, so don't worry your head about that price reduction.

hi everyone. so, i've never used this network thing before, but i hope nobody minds if i use it now to ask a probably kinda dumb question.

ninetails vale is where all the ghost-types hang out, right? does anyone know if they offer lessons or, i dunno, advice? to enlightened who can't control their powers properly, i mean. i've never been down that way before, so i have no idea.

thanks in advance, and all.
