As of 4 February 2011, the Senilisized Meji has regained enough control of herself for some magic use: first, to keep her touchingly loving grandfather from staying up worrying about her, then to fly off (for once, in a literal sense, without "the handle" appended) to visit her friend Bani Igaaru. Bani, not totally coincidentally, has been dragooned into helping arm the airship fleet (under the watchful eyes of General Izayoi and a military captain -- maybe the previously seen Captain Aphel, maybe not) for their imminent expedition to Praenubilus Astu. Meanwhile, Gramps is sleeping off the spell, which Meji also used on an unnamed guard, and which indeed the old man himself tried on her. Is insomnia a persistent problem in Tsuirakushiti? One wonders.
It certainly isn't a problem in Praenubilus Astu, where chaos, death and destruction seem to reign, although not necessarily in that order. Sarine, Jon, Sara, Ellis and an assortment of battlemages are coming to the conclusion that they are, as Jon puts it, "boned." This depressing conclusion follows from the fact that their expedition has been joined by an unnamed elf who's fleeing from a similarly unnamed monk -- a monk who looks like he's just stalking them (maybe for purposes of surveillance) rather than time-ninja-ing into an attack. This doesn't make the group very happy, although it's not clear that they're worse off this way than if the guy was attacking. In any event, it's now clear that the Ensigerum has linked up with Ian, which doesn't make anybody very happy.
In news of the wiki itself, almost all the pages seem to be displaying archived episodes properly now, although there might be some stragglers. And of course, Errant Road is still chock full of adventures and curious characters. Finally, note the successful launch of a new Poe daily, Does Not Play Well With Others; check here for what's going on in that world.
