I trust much of the panic has settled by now.

There has been a Shift that displaced some of us from our homes this past evening. We should be prepared for the possibility that it will happen again tonight, but in light of the lack of serious injuries it seems the preparations for the festival, and our lives in general, may proceed.

Unless there are other complications from this Shift?

[HI MOM.]

[Ion's been rather mopey, what with Ranka still gone, but yesterday cheered him up a bit and he's finally done sulking in his room like a teenage boy... which he technically is now, but that's besides the point. Nephry might here a slight echo as Ion answers her while walking into the room.]

I certainly hope there aren't anymore complications. Waking up in the home of someone you don't know already sounds rather unpleasant...

[silversnowfall]

[HELLO SON.]

[Nephry looks up and smiles as Ion comes into the room. She heard, from Tear, that he'd been particularly tired the night before, but it's good to see him looking happier again]

I hope so, too. I'm actually quite surprised that we were all here, where we belonged, except for your sister. [meaning his other sister]

[distressedude]

[He returns the smile and sits next to her because he's a momma's boy and needs to spend some quality time with his mommy okay.]

We must have gotten lucky this time around. Hopefully last night will be all we see of this. I'd hate for it to interrupt the festival...

[silversnowfall]

[That's right, Ion has a serious interest in the festival, being as involved with the Church as he is. Nephry just smiles]

The Festival will go on as it always does, no matter how many Shifts try to get in the way.

You sound as busy as ever.

[Voice]

[silversnowfall]

[given that their given name is Balfour (Jade + Nephry > Hakkai), does she call him Hakkai or Cho?]

Good morning. ...You know I prefer to avoid overreactions, if we can.

[Voice]

[eternallysinned.livejournal.com]

With such an active crowd, that would be the desired motion.

[Voice]

[silversnowfall]

Did you wake up somewhere strange this morning?

[subethical.livejournal.com]

I haven't witnessed any other alterations as of yet. [Big bro has been keeping his eyes peeled, as usual.]

Although, if our homes are going to continue to be involved in an extensional game of musical chairs, it would perhaps be wise to move some preparations outdoors. [Because this festival is so important to you, sister, for some reason.]

[silversnowfall]

[It's important to her because it is important to her children, and because Saphir is designing several pieces of machinery for it. Because it is important to the village. ...You know she's like that.]

If you would like to inform everyone of that, please feel free.

...And if you happen to see Liz, I would appreciate it if you asked her to come home, just to check in.

[subethical.livejournal.com]

[He knows very well how you are sister, understanding it on the other hand...]

It might be wise to wait it out until this evening. No need to waste our energy if this has been the extent of the shift.

...Lizzy is still unaccounted for? Have you checked in with Hakkai?

[silversnowfall]

Not yet, but I will.

...Try not to cause any extra chaos, Jade.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Aside from people being in strange places, that seems to be the most of it.

Not so bad all things considered.

[voice]

[silversnowfall]

Yes, that's what I'd hoped - essentially a harmless Shift.

[voice]

[justicereigns]

Yeah, looks like the case. Did you find all your family yet?

[Voice]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[Despite still being in the house, working on a few things - mostly paperwork this time around - Dist answers over the journals. It was so much easier that way, after all. His work, however, had become progressively slower as he continued to fret over his missing child. Adopted or not, that was still his daughter now, and he'd take every moment or two to page through his journal for her voice.]

...Has she been found?

[Dist's concerned. It's been too long, and he's itching to go check the forest or anywhere she could be.]

[Voice]

[silversnowfall]

Not yet.

[but listen, Nephry doesn't sound too worried. Waking up in a strange place is disorienting but rarely more troublesome than that]

I'm sure she will contact us when she can.

[Voice]

[its-rose-damnit.livejournal.com]

[He wouldn't be too worried, either, if Luceti Valley didn't randomly take away people. Sometimes for a few days, sometimes forever. Dist's hoping the latter is not the case. He's not willing to lose any member of his family just because of some natural phenomenon.]

I see... I should hope that she does, but I'll be on the lookout for any word from her. [He pauses, then adds, just to be sure.] Ion and Tear are doing well?

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

I hope this is the extent of the problems we'll have this week...

[Voice]

[silversnowfall]

As do I, Asbel. I trust your family is accounted for?

[Voice]

[drawnbythesword]

Yes, thankfully. Is Ion doing well?

[endthem.livejournal.com]

Mm. I would advise carrying a compass.

[hey, just a random one-armed creeper from town, here]

[silversnowfall]

...Even if you did, it would be easy to be stranded without it by the shift. Still, the advice is appreciated.

[Voice]

[lezareno_prez]

The only complications I have heard of are peoples' belongings being Shifted along with them.

[And no, he is not elaborating on that. Finding a drawer full of women's underwear was traumatizing enough.]

[Voice]

[silversnowfall]

I had heard that, as well. Thank you, though.
