As of 5 December 2008, [[Sarine Elle|Sarine]] and the Amraphels are in [[Tsuirakushiti]], having just [[warp gate|gated]] in (after some badinage in [[Taberna]]) to take [[Meji Hinadori|Meji]] home.  Meji's probably around there somewhere, but not seen yet, which is causing her [[Meji's Grandfather|grandfather]] a certain amount of distress as he meets them at the gate.  (Presumably he's forgotten what a pain in the ass Meji can be.) They've reached this destination following a rather testy exchange with [[ranger]] [[Sarna]] outside [[Praenubilus Astu]], during which Sarna took every opportunity to set barbs in Sarine regarding her preference for hanging around with smelly humans rather than helping defend the elven city or going to look for [[Senilis]].  Sarine uncharacteristically held her tongue and didn't tell Sarna that she ''was'' following orders and doing something the elves needed done, and didn't even rip her a new one on general principles, even though Sarna really had it coming. A contrite [[Misa]] was part of this exchange, but quietly returned to the subterranean city to do her part in shoring up the defenses.

As of 2 January 2009, the action is in [[Tsuirakushiti]], where [[Sarine Elle|Sarine]] is desperately trying to get the city fathers (meaning [[Meji's Grandfather]] and the recently-introduced [[General Izayoi]]) to help deal with the [[Ian Samael|I-bomb]] that's out there somewhere.  This follows an exchange of hostages ([[Meji Hinadori|Meji]] for [[Barin]], whose attitude toward Sarine is not exactly one of appreciation), the usual sarcastic wit by [[Jon Amraphel|Jon]] and [[Ellis]], and a surprisingly warm welcome home for Meji rendered by her [[Miyo Hinadori|mother]] and surprise visitor [[Bani Igaaru]] (and [[Rape-kun]]).  Alas, not all is sweetness and light.  Bani has informed Meji that contrary to her hopes, [[Professor Yukiri]] is cutting her not the slightest bit of slack as regards her term project at [[Sashi Mu Academy of Thaumaturgy and Conjuration]].  Furthermore, she and Miyo have come to the realization that Meji was somehow connected with the carnage in [[Emerylon]], which is probably not a good thing, although Bani opines that it may mean that Meji and Ian might be a decent match after all.  Finally, Sarine's attempts at negotiation are not going all that well; the Tsuirakuans are having a hard time buying the notion that an elven [[Anilis|goddess]] might have possessed an [[Errant]] and be running around causing death and destruction.  They're also questioning the [[elves]]' motivation and moral posture in the whole thing -- which Sarine admits isn't unreasonable.

Of Emerylon, [[Santuariel]], the [[Ensigerum village]], etc., no recent news, but this is most definitely ''not'' one of those no-news-is-good-news things.

Meanwhile, [[Ian Samael|Ian]], who'd launched into the stratosphere last month following a disconcerting visit to [[Santuariel]], has re-entered at the [[Ensigerum village]], to be scolded by [[Paul]] and [[Anita]] for pre-empting against the elves and squandering the element of surprise.  ''Big'' mistake, as he'd already figured out that Anita was manipulating him, and was dropping by to announce that the shoe is now on the other foot.  He put the kibosh on their attempts to bring him under their thumbs, showed them who has the ''real'' power, and in a surprising turn, now seems to be taking seriously a sarcastic remark by Paul that he might do better looking for allies among the [[troll]]s.  However, the scene shifted before we could see where that little twist is going to lead.

No news of [[Emerylon]], except that it's still a mess, and that the [[Veracian Church]] is trying to cover up what really happened -- sensibly enough.

As of 2 January 2009, the action is in Tsuirakushiti, where Sarine is desperately trying to get the city fathers (meaning Meji's Grandfather and the recently-introduced General Izayoi) to help deal with the I-bomb that's out there somewhere. This follows an exchange of hostages (Meji for Barin, whose attitude toward Sarine is not exactly one of appreciation), the usual sarcastic wit by Jon and Ellis, and a surprisingly warm welcome home for Meji rendered by her mother and surprise visitor Bani Igaaru (and Rape-kun). Alas, not all is sweetness and light. Bani has informed Meji that contrary to her hopes, Professor Yukiri is cutting her not the slightest bit of slack as regards her term project at Sashi Mu Academy of Thaumaturgy and Conjuration. Furthermore, she and Miyo have come to the realization that Meji was somehow connected with the carnage in Emerylon, which is probably not a good thing, although Bani opines that it may mean that Meji and Ian might be a decent match after all. Finally, Sarine's attempts at negotiation are not going all that well; the Tsuirakuans are having a hard time buying the notion that an elven goddess might have possessed an Errant and be running around causing death and destruction. They're also questioning the elves' motivation and moral posture in the whole thing -- which Sarine admits isn't unreasonable.

Of Emerylon, Santuariel, the Ensigerum village, etc., no recent news, but this is most definitely not one of those no-news-is-good-news things.
