It'll be a little while before I can get those. They're inaccessible from my current terminal.

I know we dropped the topic of patriotism a while ago, but I just wanted to tell this small story. When I was vacationing in Germany that one time, my mom was at a bar and met these three guys and started talking to them. At some point, one of them just randomly apologized for everything Germany did during WWII. Then a series of apologies came from the rest of the bar. She spent the rest of the night trying to convince them that most people don't give that much thought nowadays.

EDIT: Also @Lugubrious, what's going on with the interaction between RPGD and half of SASG in the infirmary now that we've time skipped? Robert asked Abel if he could show him Scoots and he never replied.

@Guess Who

I must have missed that. We can assume that Abel couldn't show Robert Scoot because he had no idea where he was at the moment.

Phoenix Wing (A Fairy Tail RP-Always Open, Open)

Sweet Dreams (Phoenix WIng) - After meeting a young woman with extreme mood swings during a training mishap, Fleo and Trinity were enlisted by Ariel to help return the memory of the woman, Annalise. After being attacked by Annalise during an unfortunate personality on the train, the quartet arrived in Onibus Town, where the alleged memory thief was hiding. During an inquisition into the local Bang Bang bar, Trinity unearthed a man whose son had been kidnapped, and Annalise vanished. The remaining wizards then searched the Onibus University, and after finding an anomaly in the men's locker room, solved a series of puzzling magical barriers to find an entire roomful of kidnapped people sound asleep. There they found Annalise in the corner, over a woman who seemed to be her mother. Before they could investigate, they were challenged by the project head Sagan and his partner Angel. Angel proved a tough nut to crack for Ariel and Trinity but was taken down after Fleo resorted to using Dust Devil to take down Sagan, whose shields were constantly being refreshed. Afterward, the ladies discovered the truth about Annalise: that her body had died while her mind was trapped in a dream, and that her dream had merged with the real world. They set her free by removing a lacrima shard embedded into her body, and then bound her spirit to a hat. Afterward, Annalise was revived in dream form, without the crippling mood swings, by the Spirit wizard Amelia.

More than a Feeling (Frenzy Plant) - Gabriel, Thor, and Eliza were launched via guild cannons to Clover Town, where they embarked on a southward boat to Akane Resort. Upon arrival, they traipsed through a seemingly haunted fairground, hounding by an invisible and sadistic cackling spirit at every turn who exhibited the ability of 'sea decay'. After tracing the source to a lighthouse, the group beheld a theme park filled with skeletons, and an eerie ghost ship on the resort's edge. The spirit revealed itself to be Proteus the Hanged Man, a rampant Mystic Beast in control of his own card, and after battling Thor and Gabriel's Spirits, Proteus was forced into a corner thanks to Eliza's quick thinking, and forced to retreat -and take his curses with him- to preserve his life.

I don't know what happened to the link I put in the document.

@lugubrious can you send me the job requests that you asked for approval, and the one that Gabriel thor and Eliza did? Please? I've looked everywhere, but can't find them

@Caits

Are these the summaries that I linked in the to-do list? The requests themselves are out of my reach at the moment, but I can get them in a day and a half.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

That was probably a typo. You guys can make your own shops and various establishments in the city as you visit. Please try to price reasonably.

Heroes of Beacon - the Next Chapter

Oh and I made a more comprehensive report for the mission, along with rewards.

I've updated the credits to Lucas, Cian and Mokuren too. You may go to the document and edit the new number, since I simply put a "(+3 Underground Casino)", so that you may confirm yourself the new number.

What do we do with the lien anyway?

@Sho Minazuki

Thank you. Buy stuff.

Can we put a pin in the discussion about police for now?

Fleo Plector - Phoenix Wing Hall

After nodding to Ariel, Fleo dug in to listen to Jamie. Though her speech did excite Fleo some, she honestly would have preferred the guild master to say something like 'because we have a secret weapon' or 'because I'm giving you all awesome power boosts', but she supposed 'because we're Phoenix WIng' would do. In the previous few months, she'd seen enough of her fellow guildmates to know that their guild stood a very good chance of reigning victorious. The members participating in the Games were nothing to shake sticks at; they were the real deal. It almost made her sad that she'd given up her position among them to Karn, but a wave of justifications assuaged her misgivings. She'd made the right choice. All that remained now was to send her friends her best wishes, and watch the magic unfold.

The Frenzy Fort

It was an important morning. This wasn't just a fact drilled into every soldier in Frenzy Plant. It could be felt in the very air. Very few occassions called for the unification of the entire soldier guild. Warring nations, a city on the brink of disaster, a looming battle, a rampaging demon. And the Games.

For this guild, the Grand Magic Games were games only in principle. Frenzy Plant took it seriously. A few weeks ago, they'd stopped allowing A-rank wizards and above to go on jobs, and instead began the final phase of their training. Those participating in the games were obliged to battle their allied soldiers, sometimes up to five against one at a time, rehearsing versatility and sharpening wits as well as talents. They even brought in outside help, mages from lesser guilds and mercenary groups, and physical fighters as well, to test the ace team's prowess. Over the course of a few weeks, the entire guild had worked itself into a Frenzy, fighting and drilling until its soldiers could stand no more, sleeping, and then beginning again. Though only five of them would be participating, everyone was called upon to improve his or her self, and on the eve of the Games the entire guild took a day-long party, feasting and singing and dancing, wrestling and sparring and storytelling. Today, however, all stood still.

The soldiers stood at attention in the huge training hall. Its floor was still scarred by indentations and burns from the last mock battles, but those who stood atop it were immaculate. Everyone had put aside or modified their typical clothes and garbed themselves in sleek, official green. In ranks they stood, and in front of them paced Zander, splendid in a uniform of verdant hue beneath ruby armor that shined glamorously. "Today is the day we march, not to war, but to a challenge even more dire. The other guilds have convinced themselves that the warrior guild in the north is no threat...a mere weed on the path to victory. We will prove that discipline and talent are the glue that holds an army together, and the oil that shines a triumphant crown. When we take the field, we will fight not as men and women, or boys and girls...but soldiers. War is what we are bred for. And from this moment on, we are at war." Zander raised his gleaming sword into the air to a chorus of applause and cheering, and the Frenzy Plant members broke ranks to rush upstairs to the cannon room. All the cannons today had been pointed in one direction: Crocus, and victory.

Nero - With Dragon Fang

Nero treated the girl on his arm to his own silly grin, doing his best to match hers. "Hey, Eve! Gosh, what an exciting day. I can't believe everyone's so hyped up about me being a guest announcer!" He chuckled, and squeezed her forearm. "Heh, kidding, of course. It's going to be a fascinating day. After my reconnaissance of every team participating in the games, I think Phoenix Wing's got a clear advantage. They're fielding two teams, not one. Almost cheating if ya ask me, but who'm I to judge? I expect Frenzy Plant and Dragon Fang to put up a fight, though. The soldiers are hardasses, but they sure can fight. And these guys," he gestured to the various Dragon Fang members around, "Aren't exactly pushovers. If they come out swinging, the Phoenixes will have to Wing it." He snickered at his own joke, wondering what Eve's take on all this was.

At that moment, however, an uninvited guest appeared. Did the Time Lord make it his business to put his nose in Nero's at every turn? Still, the genie grudgingly admitted to himself, for better or worse this clock-obsessed individual was responsible for Eve's admittance to Dragon Fang in place of a sanitarium. And if that hadn't happened, Nero would very well have been rotting in the ground. In a weird, round-about way, the Time Lord had saved the dark mage's life. So instead of gushing forth a stream of invective, Nero simply said, "Hi, Grime Lord. Wouldn't be a party withoutcha."

DON'T FUCK WITH THIS SENATOR

@HereComesTheSnow

I PLAYED COLLEGE BALL YA KNOW

I liked Armstrong's memes more than his rhetoric. Allowing everyone to choose their own fate is, on paper, good. But Armstrong went a little nuts in the 'how to accomplish that' department. Plus, social darwinism doesn't work for democracy. Or at all. In conclusion, I rate his campaign NANOMACHINES, SON / 10
