The market at Hunter's Green is quiet today - there are still people there, of course, but it's not quite as busy as usual. (It's probably a holy day. Goodness knows Liciae has more than enough of them.)

Some days, when he feels more like watching people go about their business, the quite would bother Yusuke, but this isn't one of those days. He came to the market to get some better pencils, as the few he could scrounge up around the Rose's headquarters finally got to be too inferior to work with; he's staying to sort through some of what's been going on in his head lately.

There's one drawing of that bedroom scene, with four teenagers, a cat, and a demolished hot pot; two of the humes are labeled in a script that has absolutely nothing in common with the local alphabet. (One is clearly Yusuke himself, and he doesn't have names for the other hume or the cat yet.) He's been picking out colors in that one on and off all day, between several attempts to pin down a figure from a recurring dream - but all he's managed to capture of that, so far, is a snowy mountainside and the outline of a frankly ridiculous pompadour.

He doesn't understand the dream and the memory is more than a little vexing, considering he learned more about everyone else in it than he did himself. Still, it's more to go on than he'd had. Maybe they can start piecing together these puzzles soon, if he can make some sense of it.

Word of the defeat of the Archons and the salvation of Muenier and Tranmere spread quickly across the two nations. The black rumors and fear gave way to jubilation - the mysterious enemies could be beaten! And it was upon this backdrop that the citizenry flocked to the Rose Garden to celebrate the heroes who had saved the towns. For the moment, both nations were unified, and there was truly a cause to celebrate.

Although there was much jubilation, that was not the only purpose of this. Lord Commander Sinbad worked hard to bring the two rulers together so they could discuss and determine their next moves. But for the others, revelry was to be had. And, ideally, not of the violent international warfare variety.

The Rose Garden is a good place to think, when one has a little free time to do so. It's not so unusual to find Yusuke there, either lost in his own thoughts or with a book, as appears to be the case today.

What is unusual, for those who have known him for a while, is that he's... drawing?

It's not a hobby he's mentioned or displayed before, but for all that, if one gets a glimpse at his work, it's quite good. From the looks of things, he's filled several pages of the blank book he picked up on his last pass through Hunter's Green already, with pictures of all sorts of things - the Garden itself and the mechanical beings that attacked the town in Dalvarus stand out.

Perhaps, for those who were present for one battle or the other, a sudden new hobby won't be all that surprising. Or perhaps it will, since most things there seemed focused on battle.

Lord Commander Sinbad had a mighty headache. Roused from a deep slumber beset by strange dreams and at an ungodly-hour-in-the-morning would do that. Nursing a moderate hangover, he wearily stumped down to his desk as his aide rattled off a frantic report about the recent proceedings. The news was astonishing. Unbelievable. And reports were also filtering in that some Rose members had been seen in Dalvarus taking part in this madness. Well.

Private to all members of the Crimson Rose (but specifically Yusuke, Snake and Angua)

I hear there was some excitement this morning. Pray, stop by the office at your earliest convenience. I wish to debrief all members involved personally.

With the message sent, Sinbad leaned back in his chair. Today was going to be a long day, he could feel it. Leaving strict instructions to his aide to admit all members who were claiming participation in the day's festivities, he sat back to wait.

Early in the morning two towns found themselves under siege without warning by powerful magics from a new enemy. Muenier in Liciae found their vineyards and orchards catching fire, while the people of Tranmere in Dalvarus were forced to flee into the mines to avoid the blaze, though smoke followed them in.

They were however not without hope, as when the assault started - certain individuals who had strange dreams as of late would feel a sense of foreboding from those two towns and a sense that they should head over immediately. Thankfully the attacks had not destroyed the crystal networks, allowing for any would be heroes to teleport in from across the two nations. Will they arrive in time to beat back the attacks?

[OOC: This is the first major event for Refracted Light. Normally sign-ups will be held but in this case players are free to jump into a log for whichever town they choose, but choose wisely! Once made, a decision cannot be unmade. Depending on the amount of PCs who come to assist a town, the following results will occur:

0 PCs: The town is wiped off the map, and there are no survivors.
1-2 PCs: The town is demolished, but a few survivors manage to escape
3-4 PCs: A few buildings are left standing, and a moderate amount of survivors manage to escape.
5+ PCs: A moderate amount of buildings are left standing, and most of the town inhabitants escape alive, albeit some with injury.

The logs will be active until the 17th, although if more time is needed they may run a bit longer. All PCs who have at least 3 replies in the log will gain 3 EP immediately. Logs will be advanced every 24 hours at minimum.

Upon arriving at the scene and seeing the Archons, the PCs will be flooded with power and will begin to receive their Echoes. From your first tag, you may use any items and abilities you have requested for your Echoes. If you have not yet requested Echoes, you may do so here.

This log will remain open throughout the event and new players are free to jump in at any time. If enough players are present, we may split the players into groups for ease of management.]

[Daisho is an avid Blitzball fan. He's played a bit in the amateur circuit, especially in school, and one of his biggest high points of the peace treaty is the ability to play against and converse with Blitzball fans on the Dalvarus side. Sports bring everyone together and all that. And so it is that he is once again on the Blitzball boards on the Crimson Rose's open network trying to have polite and engaged conversation. This pretty much never works but hope springs eternal]

User Punchball says: So who's getting excited for the next season? I'm hearing there will be special promotions this year to get people to visit away games and I'm definitely going to pick up a few of those when I'm in Dalvarus on business. Our boys and girls won't lose this year!
