[A good-looking gentleman's face appears, and while it's a relatively placid and almost cheerful expression that he makes, the incredibly observant might deduce that he's a bit worn thin. Still, onward to business.]
Good afternoon, fellow residents. A few notes, as I've recently been out of commission, much to the polite concern of several of you. I'll try to be as brief as possible. For those of you who don't know me, I am Ignis Scientia, a Witch by assignment, a chamberlain by trade, and a chef by choice.
First, on the matter of the current political and social climate, and a delicate subject. I'm interested in hearing about others' experiences with the natives of Aefenglom. The city seems ill at ease, and while I believe that can be alleviated with time and patience, it's essential to document what's happening in the here and now. Those of you who have Monster traits are of particular interest to me, and your anecdotal information will help me paint a clearer picture of the state of things for our hosts. I plan to address them directly when the envoys return from Dorchacht.
Second, a personal request: I'm feeling rusty on some of my combat skills, despite my best efforts. If you're a weapon-wielding sort and want some good, vigorous training time with a skilled combatant, I'll gladly ask you to join me. If anyone has recommendations for a sturdy and affordable polearm, I'm looking for one.
And lastly, the Witches' Study Group will resume thrice-weekly meetings when all parties return from Dorchacht. I'll be sure to make another announcement then, but as I've been informed there were new arrivals, I thought it prudent to remind those who are here.
I wish you all a pleasant remainder of your day.
[Business done! Ignis offers a slight smile before ending the broadcast.]

Things with Dorchacht are still pretty damn delicate at the moment and I think it's making our witches and the coven act really on edge. Sometimes I wonder if they're being clear with us on everything...
As for being a monster, I guess I'm just glad we're not treated like cattle in Aefenglom.

No, I've long suspected they're telling us only a small fraction of the truth, but I had no evidence and little option besides following their lead, at first. Now... I've decided to channel my skills in negotiation and my political savvy into something useful. In other words, I think I might be able to help. Well, pending the outcome of the expedition.

[How did two cities so vastly different end up like this? He wants to know.]
no subject
[This is all weirder than he could have imagined, on levels, and he comes from a world where political and social intrigue is the norm.]
At any rate, it's a plan forming as information trickles in. I wouldn't rush into anything now.
no subject
[Talking like this... Angeal would probably be pretty proud of him. When war is on people's lips he's more used to jumping in and making a change and acting fast but in this case, he's with the others on this one.]
