As of 3 October 2008, Ian has crash-landed in Santuariel, right straight through the roof of the house where Leah and Riley live. He wasn't in the best of shape when he got there, but a small nap has set things right, and has also given him enough magical juice back that he could rebuild the house -- impressing, and disconcerting, his hosts. He's presently filling them in on all the stuff that he had been doing down south, and is coming to the realization that most of it is nothing to be very proud of.

Back in Praenubilus Astu, the session at the Elven Council has broken up, and Sarine has gone back to the Consulate to tell Meji and the Amraphels what's going on -- after first letting Rarune know that if anything bad happens to Meji, whether he's involved or not, his ass is grass and Sarine's the mower. Meji (and Ellis) and Jon hear the story, but Sara isn't there, having been invited out to a sparring session with 6'4" fangirl Misa. This didn't go well from Misa's standpoint, not just because Sara's time-ninja skills were far beyond what Misa could handle, but even more, because of the damage done to Misa's fragile, 1400-year-old psyche. Misa, it seems, went and hid when the dustup with Ian started -- quite a sensible thing to do, actually, but her sense of self-worth has been pulverized, and she's despondent about her chances of ever amounting to anything, Sara's clumsy attempts to console her notwithstanding.

Of the outside world (e.g. Tsuirakushiti and the Ensigerum village), no news, but patience.
