Things seem to have settled down again, despite the influx of new arrivals. ...I'm sure it's already been said somewhere, but perhaps the intruders and the lack of 'New Feathers' in the recent past are related? Either way, it feels like the same...things that were going on before are cropping up again in this village. The same routines and schedules, with very few changes. With the exception of trying to keep His Majesty out of the kitchen.

I'm not sure if -

[voiced]

Ah! What was that? [hastily shuts the book and goes outside to find out what's going on. In the book it is now possible to read a few things she's written on other paper that got caught in the closed pages]

[[ooc: Yes, I am nerding out over the picture. Bask in my nerdiness. This is a reaction to the witchy battle going on over the village, too]]

You know, that is an interesting theory, about the lack of New Feathers and the intruders that is. I wonder if they are indeed related.

After reading...so much on all of these journals...it just makes me wonder.

Well, it would imply that the Malnosso knew of the intruders in advance since the cycle was longer in July, correct? I arrived during that, so I only can go from what others say.

...You're right. It was longer then. I hadn't thought of that.

I remembered that a few days after I arrived it was commented upon that people were still arriving. And then after the experiment everything happened.

So if the lack in August was due to that, then the Malnosso must have known about it and wanted to ensure we had enough people to deal with them.

I'd go back indoors if I were you.

What's going on?

From the looks of it... a mage duel.

It sounds like it's covering the entire village.

That does seem to be the case.

[Paranoid Peony is paranoid and rushes into Nephry's room the moment her writing gets cuts off. He's still not quick enough to see her leave the house, though, and is now currently sitting on her bed dejectedly.]

[came back in after figuring out being outside was a bad idea. ...There is an Emperor on her bed now]

Your Majesty?

[You like that, don't you?]

[Have a vastly relieved Peony. He walks to her, thinks about hugging her, then decides against it.]

Nephry! Thank goodness. I thought the Malnosso took you.

No. I just went out to take a look around.

You shouldn't leave the house right now. I heard there was some kind of battle going on.

There is. I saw it. You shouldn't leave the house either.

[no one gets away with babying her, Peony]

Don't worry, I won't.

[Why must all the women he knows be this way?D: He's just being concerned!]

Where are Jade and Anise?

I'm not sure, but I'm confident they can protect themselves from whatever is going on.

As am I. [she doesn't look like she lacks confidence in them]

Are your burns fully healed?

Days ago. Are yours?

[Well, there are still a few marks, but...] Good as new.

[are you lying?]

[Don't look at us like that.]

...What?

Nothing, Your Majesty.

If you say so.

It seems there is quite a commotion outside.

I'm not responsible for this one.

You wouldn't be so messy.

[was peppered with a few of those magic bullets. Those two may be inventing paintball]
