Happy 1st of November, everyone! We made it through another October--which in my experience tends to be the roughest month of year of us stuck in bubble cities. What with all the monsters and other fearful things that slip in through the barriers....
But anyways, now that we're in November, I've got the bandwidth to share some happenings that will be coming up before the next mission.
First off, Book Club! We hold a community book club meeting sometime between the day of Aurora's mission announcement and the mission start date. So that will be coming up; we usually hold it in the library in Alcyone's Wake. Anyone is welcome to hang out and talk books when the date is settled on.
Another event in the works is a community harvest/Thanksgiving feast, also to be held before the mission, just in case we get sent offworld again. Sophie has generously offered the NYX Community Center, located in the Charronway island, to be the venue. A key thing for a potluck-style feast is that people bring food for the group--you don't have to make a dish for 100 people, just make enough servings for 5-10. I know that NYX provides community meals with its kitchen, so it might be best to bring the ingredients and cook on the premise if your selected dish is served hot/warm. Around Etraya, there are stores with ingredients and stores that have premade goods.
If you would like to contribute, please let us know what you would like to bring so that I and the folks at NYX know how much WE need to cook up to make a well-rounded feast! Or if you can help cook, let us know as well!
Lastly, not attached to any particular event coming up. Now that Etraya's been around for some time, the library is interested in creating a public assistance directory. We do individually have a directory of usernames on our devices, true. But we want to build up a service directory--the equivalent of the telephone Yellow Pages for businesses, to go along with the White Pages of individual's listings.
"Business" is being used loosely, here--Culinary skills, medical skills, monster hunting, mediation, chocobo wrangling, science questions, the list can go on and on. Basically, if you don't mind helping out your fellow Etrayans with a skill you have, please let us know!

This is still a work in progress on the admin side as well, but I will do my best to answer questions.
Now to fix my inbox message and feed some chocobos! Thanks for your attention to this, catch you later!

I'm afraid I only know insomnia as a sleep condition. These names are foreign to me.
I hail from the Holy Empire of Sanbreque, located in Storm, which is part of Valisthea.

» Or. Was.
» Never heard of any of those. But I've heard of Bahamut.
no subject
A young mage named Vivi had also heard of Bahamut. In his world, Bahamut is a being called an Eidolon, which answers a summoner's call for aid.
no subject
It's not a here conversation? And telling you to slide into my DMs is too weird. I get that you're trying to say you're not THAT Bahamut, but my human brain is still choking on that one
no subject
I'd never imagined other worlds were real, nor that my Eikon would bear any resemblance to summoned helpers or what sounded like a most callous god. But I'd the mercy of hearing about these over time.
You needn't force yourself.
no subject
I'm still not going to touch the callous comment with a ten-foot polearm. For reasons.
But leave a message if you wanna get into it. It's just not a good topic and I don't want to bring down the room. Or the network.
no subject
I'd be willing to listen, though I believe you're right to be cautious. Though conversations can be rendered private on the Network, I've my doubts any such exchange would be inaccessible to Aurora herself.
