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.

My name is Mercia, of house Tabrea. I hope this evening finds you well.

I'm sure the news about what happened in Muenier has reached most of Liciae by now, but I want to talk about a different phenomenon. I was present during the fighting, and something happened to me that's hard to describe.

I'll divide it into two experiences. First experience: I remembered something that has never happened to me. The memory remains in my mind - an unfamiliar face in an unfamiliar city. Someone who introduced herself as 'Yuki Yuna,' if that name means anything to anyone; it doesn't sound Liciaen to me. There was nothing relevant to the battle or its surrounding circumstances in this memory.

Second experience: I gained some kind of unfamiliar ability. I now have a small device, similar in design to a Linkshell, but it can't connect to mog.net. Most of its functionality is broken or useless, but there's one button on it that triggers some kind of slight transformation in my body. The changes all seem to be cosmetic - it changed my clothes and hair, but doesn't seem to make me any stronger or faster physically. However, after using this transformation, I was able to fight the monsters that attacked Muenier, which were previously impervious to all of my attacks.

I am of course glad that I received a gift that allowed me to survive the battle, but I'm also troubled by the fact that I don't know where it came from. The memory in particular is strange; it doesn't line up with anything that happened in my past. If it was a vision of the future, then that's troubling for a different reason... in this memory, I had no use of my legs. If something made me remember my future encounter with Yuna Yuki, then that may imply that some tragedy is waiting for me in the near future.

If anyone else has had similar experiences in the last few days, I'd like to exchange notes. I know I'm not the only one who had something like this happen to them.

Thank you for your time.

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!
