[shadowthief]

Player Name: Kayla
Character Name: Inej Ghafa
Thread 1 Link + Summary: A call to all summoned in which Inej shares things she's learned in her research about this world and has several meaningful conversations with people about being stuck here, and what it might mean for trying to fix that, most notably an interesting, if aggressively emphatic conversation with a mystery responder who is incredibly against the idea of anyone touching the Singularity and another with someone who had some intriguing insights about the way stories and folktales are used, in general.

After a period of time has passed, Shuten subtly releases her Intoxicating Aroma of Fruits ability to test how much of her strength has returned. As a result, some servants and guards around Castle Thorne have mildly suffered drunken states though it's gone just as quickly.

Notable actions: Hythlodaeus has been really busy in his first month! So far, he's:

• Offered ideas to Solvunn's 1st settlement farming community regarding replishment of the land after harvests. As such, has found a place in their ongoing dominos/checkers/cards (it varies) nights at the drunken lamb.


• Moved in to Emet-Selch's house some way from the 1st settlement.


• Assisted with lambing.


• Participated in the drunken lamb's weekly drinking contest. Came last place.


• Done errands for the drunken lamb. Perhaps the barkeep knows him now.


• Attended Goro's arrival to Solvunn, accompanying Emet-Selch.


• Spoke with Goro afterward- and notably- saw him as an ememy to Solvunn.

Thread 2 Link + Summary: Was ordered to go with Goro to Solvunn.
Power or physical gain: No!
Notable actions: Cloud's been quite busy. He's:

• Attempted to interuppt Sephiroth's summoning, and failed. Earned his unit a month's extra drills. They. Hate. Him. Has also earned the undivided attention of his commanding officer. This is not good.


• Attempted to kill Sephiroth in the middle of Cadens. In public. Almost took out a civilian. Caused a panic, and got arrested alongside (an innocent) Sephiroth. Was held for a week and released back into the army for their punishment.


• Was ordered to escort Goro to Solvunn.


• Attended the summit. Was ordered to catch the creature alongside Sephiroth, who is now in his unit. Failed miserably due to arguing with him. Switched hair colours with Sephiroth as a punishment for a day.

He was briefly jailed after Cloud tried to kill him on the street, but afterward has settled into a routine of mostly patrol work — this has included throwing Wen Kexing in jail once.

[baltimores]

Player Name: Ari
Character Name: Amos Burton
Thread 1 Link + Summary: Sam and Geralt warn Amos about potential incoming trouble to Solvunn.
Thread 2 Link + Summary: Amos be vibing at the summit.
Notable actions: After being warned about the possibility of war coming to Solvunn, Amos spoke with council about putting contingencies in place to keep the community's vulnerable safe in case they do get attacked — and then was put in charge of seeing it happen, so that's a very different change of pace for him.
He also helped Tony with the whole electrical grid thing.

Notable actions: Was very active/loud/easily noticed/friendly/charming/etc during the Summit, and was talking quite a bit about what he likes about the Free Cities.
