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 allFinally, 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.

As of 6 February 2009, Sarine, who's showing a bit of wear and tear, is the center of action, as she desperately searches for some way to not only keep the I-bomb from going off again, but also keep the elves from making a bad situation worse by weaponizing Senilis. Her attempts to get the Tsuirakuan government to quietly put the kibosh on the elven plans didn't come off, to put it mildly, as Meji's Grandfather and General Izayoi have reached the conclusion that the only way to meet the threats is to use force. This didn't sit well with Sarine, and there's a hole punched in a wall somewhere in Tsuirakushiti to prove it.

Predictably, Sarine is berating herself for possibly starting a war rather than defusing a threat -- she does this a lot -- and is hatching a plan to get herself, Meji, Jon, Sara, and maybe even Bani Igaaru into a position to keep things from blowing up -- she does this a lot too. After Meji revealed that Ian had fenced the book on the Lorenzel Excavations at a Tsuirakushiti bookstore ("Arcana Unearthed"), Sarine swapped the proprietor an elven knowledge crystal to get it, and the gang is now trying to get clandestine access to a warp gate, via a ruse involving Sara posing as Bani's country-bumpkin cousin from Farrel. This probably will not end well.

Still no news from Emerylon, the Ensigerum village, etc., but life probably isn't the greatest there either.

Incidentally, in the parallel universe of Errant Road, both currently active threads are also careening toward encounters of some ill-defined but probably violent kind. It's just a violent world.
