It is a beautiful day in Il Mheg and you are two Sharlayan dorks.

"Oh, don't you dare look back Just keep your eyes on me" I said, "You're holding back" He said, "Shut up and dance with me"

[escherstrange]

I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime

So smile for a while and let's be jolly Love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along and share the good times while we can

Adrian's oven broke so he came to borrow the crematorium furnace to bake the cake.

If you thought Adrian was the sane one in the relationship, you're sorely mistaken.

He scraped the unburnt bits from the destroyed cake tin, Escher grabbed flowers from the front desk, and they had a Valentione's lunch break.

Happy Valentione's, you godsdamned dorks.

<Adrian uses Valentione Bouquet! It's super effective!>

Anyway happy valentiones and all that.

Countdown to Dawntrail: Where Are They Now?

I was going to have a reflective post about the last two years but I'm bad at talking about myself so

7. Yersinia sees Thilivern struggling to pay for ship fare to Tural, so she loans him the remainder and they go together. They'll recoup the ticket cost by doing some adventures together. Two old people going on an adventure, they'll be fineee.

6. Finnegan washes up on the shores of Tural. Sick of retainerdom he declares he wants to be a pirate despite looking like a flooring inspector (couldn't help inserting a Monkey Island reference).

5. Escher signs Sirolimus up for the Studium's Summer Study program and promotes him to 'research assistant' which is academic speak for 'do my work until I come back with enough research data for the both of us'. Needless to say, the boy panics. Best summer ever!

4. "Ulfrid, Escher will certainly head to Tural! We must follow and make sure he doesn't nuke the place because that's what a HERO would do! Pack up, we leave at 5 PM!"

"Lady Ireul, I beg you to reconsider for your safety!"

(she did not, in fact, reconsider.)

3. Rossignol (and Crescens) are still faffing about on the First. They'll return. Eventually. Trust me, I'm an expert.

2. After getting their family home back, Isillud and Joshua navigate a different new world: Ishgardian high society.

"Why am I the only one paying a visit to Lord Angelique, Izzy?"

"Lord of the House, that's you."

"What ARE you reading anyway?"

"I thought it was a romance novel but it's actually a guide to Ishgardian taxation laws. It's more interesting than I expected."

"So that's where that book went."

Escher takes the search for the secret of the Premier Massage to Tural! And he's bringing Adrian and Crofte along for the ride! Is there no end to his madness?!

(No.)

Will they survive?!

(They had better.)

So I'm just going to attempt not looking at social media until I'm done with MSQ, which by my calculations is probably the end of July. I'm sure it will be absolutely fine.

Until then, I hope everyone enjoys Dawntrail the way they want to.

Thank you, and see you later.
