A Master of Many Pets
EM Seppo

The pet shivered as he realized he had forgotten once again to wear his cloak. Looking back, he cursed at himself for ever taking a shelter in this cold, damp cave. But, he had made his pact with the demon and there was no turning back now. If only that fool Casca has lived up to his potential. Enough of that now, the pet muttered to himself. Worry about your skin when you deliver this news. Bloody council!

Approaching the faint glow, he knew what was waiting around the corner. For a moment, he considered making a run for it. Alas, he knew very well that it would be in vain for his very soul was now bound to the demon. But, that knowledge only made him shiver more.

Turning the corner, he was surprised to find the great room filled with a strange mist. The light emitting from the rift that he knew was somewhere in the mist gave it an unnatural glow.

What ill-news does my pet bring for me now? the now familiar hoarse voice said to him.

Master, I-I-I… Well, it is not all bad news, you see we can still…

SILENCE! Do you think you can butter up your rotten stench of failure? Tell me, has the council declared war on New Magincia?

Looking down, wishing he could be anywhere else but here, the pet spoke again.

Nay! The council is resisting the use of force. They have…

Pause. Then, again with great trepidation.

…started negotiating the proposal put forth by the New Magincian rebels. I do not believe that they will succeed thoug…

Remind me again? Were you not convinced of a declaration of a war this very night?

I-I-I-I… Forgive me, Master! I did not think…

The voice roared in anger as the pet struggled to think of a way to mollify him.

Fool, do not make the mistake of thinking that you are my only option. I have many other pets like you!

In fact, one of them is quite capable of derailing these negotiations. Consider yourself fortunate that you might still be of some use to me. Now, leave and do not return till you are summoned!

Bowing his head, the pet grovelled his way out. Glad to still have his skin (literally), he was surprised to feel a tinge of jealousy at the mention of others like him.

[IC News] Intrigue in the Time of Cholera – Vespasian Physician Discovers Panacea.

An anonymous tip led Britannian mercenaries on a wild goose chase this last evening at the behest of the Physician of Vesper.

Apparently believing us to be her students, the doctor led us through a short monologue about the plague that had begun to ravage the City of Industry. Quite mad, she elaborated on those who had been stricken with the disease, and those children who had died as a result. In exchange for our cooperation, she promised the creation of a panacea.

10 Savage Berries. 20 Unicorn Ribs. 100 Cups of Fresh Ginger. 100 Vials of Silver Serpent Venom.

The last ingredient on the list, and the most elusive, was the source itself. Apparently the plague wasn’t a contagion, as originally believed, but an illness brought on by contamination to the water supply. Find the source. Stop the sickness.

The source itself was discovered at the end of the Vespasian delta, near the Docking and Customs District. Appreciating our brevity, the doctor awarded her so called students with an alchemical mortar and pestle.

Ultimately, the task offered little insight into the increasing turmoil in the north. Instead, it raised more questions. Such as, what caused the very land of Vesper to begin boiling with filth and plague? Or who… And how did this relate to other problems in the region, such as the Blackrock Trade or the Siege of Mt. Kendall.

Only time will tell, I suppose.

[RP News] Scheduled Protest in Britain – Tonight at 6:30 PM PST / 9:30 PM EST.

Scheduled Protest in Britain
Aldagar Morr

… They were all in agreement. It was time to rise up and let their voices be heard in the streets of the Capital city tomorrow evening.

No longer would they be ignored.
No longer would they remain silent.
No longer would they settle for broken promises.

They would assemble together publicly, where liked-minded and repressed citizens can join together, bonded together in cause and purpose, to openly voice their concerns and demands in combined unison and strength. Undoubtedly, others will eagerly join the movement and their numbers will swell. Soon the ears of their intended targets will be forced to listen to their demands!

Where: West Britain Bank
When: Thursday, 6:30PM PST

[RP News] Blood and Sand: Violence Threatens the Isle of Pride.

Blood and Sand: Violence Threatens the Isle of Pride
WarderDragon

Blood again threatens to engulf the Isle of Pride.

Sources close to the Isle claim that Magincian antagonists have begun to harass and assault innocent Britannians housed on the Isle. A series of scuffles and minor riots have erupted as a result. Zhevorrin – a visitor – was seen attempting to pacify one such confrontation with minimal success.

It is unclear what instigated these riots. Or whom. But those close to the Republic and the New Magincian Trading Co. do not claim these antagonists as their own.

Not all is as it would seem.

[EM Fiction] Origins: Can’t Fight This Feeling. (Charlotte Christianson.)

Can’t Fight This Feeling

“Michael?” ten-year-old Charlotte Christianson called out, her voice barely above a whisper.

Michael seemed to appear from nowhere, looking concerned.

“Yes, Miss Charlotte?” he asked quietly, staring down at her.

“I do not care!” she blurted out, holding back tears.

The young boy knew she was referring to their conversation from earlier that day. He exhaled slowly and leaned forward, bringing his face close to hers.

“You do not know what this would lead to, Miss Charlotte.” Michael said, much wiser than his mere twelve years would suggest.

“I do not care.” she repeated. “And stop calling me that!” Charlotte added, clenching her jaw.

Michael smiled down at Charlotte fondly as he brushed one of her long, dark tresses away from her pale skin.

“As you wish.” he murmured before pressing his lips against hers.

[EM News] Diplomatic Negotiations

Diplomatic Negotiations
EM Seppo 

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

The High Council of Britannia will hold their weekly meeting this Thursday night at 9:00 PM PST. The agenda of the meet is to hold discussions with the representative of the New Magincian rebellion. The honorable representative has been summoned to clarify his side’s position. The High Council has been getting increasingly frustrated with the slow pace of negotiations despite it’s many attempts towards reaching a peaceful agreement thus far. The recent outbreak of tensions between the loyalists and rebels on the island has only increased the pressure on the council to take action.

The meeting will be open for all, but kindly keep your peace while the meeting is in progress. The Town Guard of Britain has been asked to attend the meeting to provide assistance to the High Council.
