Although Inarah tided all of you over with a brief update, and a full event summarh, I think you all deserve a little more, as reward for your good behaviour.  What follows then, is a full summarisation of the past fortnights happenings!  Sans screenshots, as yours truly is currently on his laptop, a couple hundred miles away from his usual desktop.  If any Jackals want to chime in later with their own screenshots, that'd be most appreciated! So... that summary, eh? Well!  Firstly, our regular Missing Member Monday was cast aside for a fancy shindig at the Kindred's redecorated home.  We were all very impressed by the new layout, and a great, drunken, truth or dare-filled time was had be all.  None of us dressed all that fancy though, if I'm honest.  Aside from Bert.  Bert insisted on dressing up. Wednesday, we stuck to the tradition of haing our weekly PvE night.  Things that weren't ourselves died in great droves, gearing was on the up, HP levels were way down low, and the overall result was a net profit.  Good times, good times... Following that of course, was the Wine and Dine Festival on the Saturday, in which many many people turned up to inflict chatscroll upon us!  A whopping great thank you to everyone that turning up, and an equally humongous thank you to all the other Jackals, the Kindred, and Aeon for making the night happen as smoothly as it did!  Yours truly ended up with nearly a gigabyte of screenshots by the time the last of us left the Kindred home, and so I'll vouch for the evening having been a fantastic time. Following that, it was off to Bronze Lake on Sunday for the fashion contest.  Four Jackals entered the mens fashion entry, and three Jackals took home the first, second and third prize.  We're officially the best dressed rogues in Eorzea, folks! (The following feeling may occur should you happen to see Zee, Jino or Xiv walking past in the street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=debMmEGaUWE&t=3m11s It's a natural feeling, and we highly encourage you to follow through with it.) Monday.  Back to the Missing Member for the traditional open company get together!  Small, quiet, and fun.  Until a naked Roe burst in. And then it ended with the Company leaping from the railings to the waters below.  Oh, and following the drinking, we were harassed by a crazy Elezen Hells-bent on setting one of our FC friends aflame.  It wasn't a quiet night, actually.  Or small.  But it was fun! Wednesday:  PvE! Last night, Inarah and Stone ran a small salvage event off the southern coast of La Noscea.  Being a small salvage event designed to make the FC a tidy profit with minimal risk, four Jackals ended up in the company infirmary, with at least two still there.  Best laid plans, eh? Tonight:  We're going to be finishing up our current FC storyline!  Inarah's at the helm for this one, as it's her character orchestrating all the unnatural goings on of late.  Once tonight's concluded, we'll be clear to plan the next Costa bar event, and initiate the next overarching company plot. (We likes our storylines, here, if you couldn't tell already.  What's an RP FC witout plot, eh?) And that, folks... is that.  For now.  We'll be back, promise! Jackal & Hide [EU] - Crime pays.  We have a mansion.

Good day, RPC! Indeed like Kilid said, we'd have a very busy week behind us! Lots of action and socialising and more action! Jackals are busy folk! We did have our final showdown with FC's storyline and boy what a showdown it was! The jackals were prepared for much, and much did we get! The whole night started on a drek through a cavern filled with Darkness (Well duh, Caverns are usually dark, but this was special kind of dark!) And then there was sudden burst of Lights! surely, filled this cavern was with mind-numbing magics! But the Jackals pressed on, ever more determined. And thus, as they reached the cave's exit and moved on, with the air filled with silent laughters and whispers bent to tear the brave Jackals apart inside, there stood a blockage before them. A Voidsent Teratotaurs!, assembled and all ready to tear the Jackals apart this time more physically! It was a gruesome battle, with with many wounds and damages inflicted one and to another! but thanks to the fierce skills and outstanding teamwork of the Jackals, the Voidsend beasts fell one after another! Group pressed on, all ready to face of whatever there could be thrown at them! (But they couldn't be prepared for this...) Their next challenge was, something they weren't very much prepared. Before them stood not just a woman, but a Demon in Sheep's clothings! Before they could start to properly act, this Witch had befallen them with a charms! It was soon, chaos filled among the ranks of the Jackals! Men enthralled by this beautifull woman, fighting for her attention and Women trying to figure a way to release them from their charms! It was trickery battle, but admits the chaos, J'Kilid himself managed to deliver a strike into the Woman, revealing the truth. It indeed was not a woman, but a Succubi! What followed was another fierce battle to the death! But yet again, the skills and teamwork of Jackals put together payed dues, as the Demon was finally slayed. Battered and suffering wounds, the Jackals had no choice but to carry on, for a final challenge. A mastermind Lalafell Lady (Lalafells, who would have thought, they are the smartest of the races, afterall!) Stood there, surrounded by a army of Voidsends! But the taunts and the cursings of the lady fell on herself, as her army of voidsends turned to her! Tearing the poor girl apart and vanishing themselfs, The Jackals had finally defeated and sealed off one chapter in their Life. Alas, the future looks bright for the Jackals as they can finally get some rest. ...Until another trouble rises. But, that is a story for another night. Thank you for reading, and be seeing you all around Eorzea, RPC! (because i am horrible with linking the pictures to this, mayhaps everso glorious Leaders could provide us with some screenshots of this great event!)

Hello, resident crew member Zhyalyhe Loeshaksyn chiming in on this wonderful thread. I know what you were waiting for, screenshots. You will have to unfortunately wait further for those, for screenshot skills I do not have. Instead, I thought I'd show you a couple of interpretations of recent events. The Power of Jino'ya! Full Picture Zhyalyhe's hand painted recollection of the battle at the Salt Strand. Painted on cured whale skin, currently pinned up in the shop's lobby. --- Jino'ya Traore, healer extraordinaire saves the group from a volley of ranged attacks. The bandits were relentless down at the Salt Strand. Surely it would be the end of the Jackals without the protective barrier he summoned. Thankfully we all made it out alive, aside from a few cuts and bruises (read about the gory details!). Yukiki's Phantoms Full Picture Zhyalyhe's hand painted recollection of the floating bodies at the Burning Wall. Painted on cured whale skin, currently pinned up in the shop's basement. --- Is going to the Burning Wall ever a good idea? I'd have to answer with an enormous NO! You can read Stone Wall's report one post up. Here we have the moment Bert Brewforge would love to forget. The poor chap was shaking in his boots as the floating phantoms of Yukiki dashed towards him. He must'a thought his time was up. That's it for now. I'm sure the next post will be full of glorious screenshots. *nudges Kilid*

A brief announcement before I move on to the news: with our latest batch of recruits now settled in nicely, we're throwing open our doors again for new members! Check out our site and throw an application our way if you're interested in joining our merry band of misfits. Firstly, thank you to Stone for his summary of the spooky happenings on Saturday and Zee for his gorgeous paintings! Last week was full of rest, relaxation and socialising so, naturally, this week had to kick things up a notch. We started off with what was meant to be an ordinary evening at the Missing Member and escalated to something more nefarious. A mysterious elezen woman taunted us from a distance and followed us back to our home before setting some of our garden furniture on fire. She left but we've been watching our backs ever since. Friday night led us down to the Salt Strand in Lower La Noscea to salvage a shipwreck. However, it seemed someone else wanted to plunder that booty and we were soon fighting for our lives. The Jackals triumphed in the end and took home a hefty bounty. Last but certainly not least, our second company story arc came to an end on Saturday. The lalafell behind the haunted painting led us all into what we can only assume was a trap meant to end us once and for all. Disturbing illusions, voidsent and charms to turn the Jackals against each other were all thrown at us but we persevered, although it's fair to say we'll be sporting some scars from it. In the end, our seemingly insane foe met her end by her own hands when she meddled with magic far exceeding her ability. This week we hit up the Missing Member again yesterday and met the lovely Locke Rinannis, one of Romi's friends. Tonight, Big Zee will be taking us on a journey of body, heart and mind to better prepare ourselves for any challenges we may face in the future. Finally, on Saturday, we open up the Sunny Seaside Bar once more with a Triple Triad tournament. Hope to see folks there! My Characters || Metaphysick

Apparently that preparation involves drinking lots of booze, as we do seem to find ourselves in taverns quite regularly! We've had two visits to the Missing Member since my last update, getting up to no good as usual and meeting some new faces. We also welcomed Lanielle Lanelle and Locke Rinannis to our crazy crew! Zee's battle meditation exercises last Tuesday were met with some scepticism at first but everyone soon got into it, dabbing war paint on faces and contorting in awkward poses in the name of serenity. At the end of the night, he gave us each a pirate name in the Sea Wolf language. Thanks, Zee, for helping us find our battle hearts! Saturday was another night of boozing at the Sunny Seaside Bar. Jino hosted a Triple Triad Tournament and did a fantastic job! Our first place winner was Rosie Bubblegum who got the prize of a Wind-up Dullahan. Our own Ludivine came in second place and Xivrez'to tied for third with Chokho Viqqoh. Whilst the card tournament was going on, Fheyla Haken and Nebula Stardancer provided the rest of the patrons with some entertainment. Thanks to everyone for showing up! Tonight we have some work to do but it's going to be a little out of the ordinary. I don't want to give too much away but suffice to say we might want to use our brains rather than our weapons on this job! Finally, on Saturday, Romi is going to lead us into the ruins of an old gaol deep in the Shroud. Although it's rumoured to be abandoned, who knows what we'll find within its depths. That's it for now. You stay classy, Jackals! My Characters || Metaphysick

By the Twelve, it's been so long since this was bumped it might have looked like we were... not doing anything! (I wish.  Maybe that means we could get some sleep rather than RPing until some interesting times in the morning >_> Alas... we've just been focussed a little more on our own little community to ensure that everyone is settled, and fitting in well. And... it's my absolute joy to announce that everyone now seems to be settled and fitting in well! A big welcome to Kheja, Lani and Locke who have joined the ranks of minions members that the Jackals can bring to bear on jobs, complementing our arsenal of offensive Aether users, stinky sneaky Hobbitses, and engineers respectively. We now have an engineer in a salvage company.  I'm looking forward to seeing what creeps forth from this dastardly combination. *Cackle* May Locke be successful in engineering... your doom! *Strokes Ming the Merciless beard* So what -has- been happening, event-wise?  Well!  As Continuing from Inarah's last post, we had another Missing Member (Obviously.  That's what we do.  It's our thing.) Show Content MissingAlas, no screenshots from me for this one, I sadly had to miss much of it. There *was* this weeks Missing Member however!  Screenshots were taken at this one!  We're getting a great FC turnout at these, but we'd love to see more folks from outside the FC make an appearance!  Chatscroll isn't *that* bad, either! Show Content Not Missing! Album can be found here: https://imgur.com/a/Q1AX3 And of course, there was the last Sunny Seaside Bar, that Inarah discussed.  I'm mentioning it here 'cause i want to post more screenshots. Show Content Sunny Seaside Bar Se7en Album link: https://imgur.com/a/81mer There have been a couple PvE nights! (Last night we attempted turns 1- 5 with a lot of freshfaces!) Of course, there are screenshots for this, too. Show Content PVEverywhere But that's all well and good, I hear you cry, but where are the -events-?!?  Well... great question, have an answer! We've had two major FC story events, both one-off adventures, with the next likely to occur in/around Ishgard given that our next big plot night happens in HW early access! The first was following on from an earlier shipwreck salvage event, where we found a battered old stone tablet.  Having had one of our resident scholarly sorts decipher the tablet, it turned out to be instructions, in the form of a riddle, leading to a hunt for an unnamed treasure. Puzzles were solved, ruins were explored, and at the end of the day, having formed a Jackal pyramid, the ultimate treasure was recovered. None other than... the Jade Chocobo!  Half the size of the average Lalafell, we're currently having it valued and look forward to turning a tidy profit on this baby!  If your character is the sort to be interested in purchasing a giant jeweled bird, give us a yell.  We'll offer a... competive rate on it, promise! Afterwards, as we were in the region, we hit the Hermit's Hovel for a bit of R&R, of course. Show Content Tomb Raider Full album: https://imgur.com/a/ugS0I And this Saturday just gone, our very own Romi called together the FC for a bit of a personal... errand.  I use the term errand loosely, as we were essentialy breaking and entering an old gaol that we're fairly sure we weren't meant to actually be in, but... oh well!  Since when has that ever stopped us, eh? End result, Romi found the book she was after, belonging to one of the old prisoners.  We... really should speak with her about what was in the that book, come to think of it...

Heavensward early access launches in less than 24 hours and we're all rolling around on the floor helplessly spending the maintenance downtime being productive! In the meantime, let's recap what we've been up to this week. Sunday was spent searching for Ludivine, who had been mysteriously absent of late. It turns out she was kidnapped so it was down to us to rescue her and make the person responsible for it pay. Our evening at the Missing Member on Monday was rather subdued as the events from the previous night still weighed heavily on us. Luckily, Lani's housewarming party on Tuesday put us in a better mood. Last but not least, we downed Twintania in T5 on Wednesday! Most of our informal raid group had never attempted it before so we're quite proud of all of you. It was a fantastic note to end A Realm Reborn on and we look forward to tackling more current content when Alexander launches. We expect people will be eager to start levelling and try out the new jobs so our RP schedule will be a bit light for the first couple weeks of Heavensward. However, we'll continue our Missing Member meet ups as usual and the Sunny Seaside Bar will be open on the 27th of June. See you all in Ishgard! My Characters || Metaphysick

Heavensward arrived and the Jackals swiftly raced to Ishgard to discover a whole new world. We're devouring the lovely lore tidbits found throughout the quests and coming up with ideas for future events as well as contemplating how the company as a whole will evolve and grow. Of course, with server stability issues and the natural focus on levelling at present, roleplay has become less of a priority but we still managed to find time for each other. Monday we were at the Missing Member and got to meet some mysterious people who have recently begun appearing all over Eorzea, known as the Au Ra. Last night, Kilid arranged another game of dodgeball. There were a few injuries but it was all in good fun, right? Nothing personal at all about that projectile bashing you in the face, right? We also have some important news! After much discussion and debate between Kilid and myself, we've decided to take on two officers to help us out with leading our pack of Jackals. Platinum Mountain and Romimo Romi have run their own events in the past and been assisting us behind the scenes for awhile now so it was merely the next logical step to make it official. Our new Agents will continue running events, pick up a share of the administration duties and be a point of contact when our members need to speak to a leader. Congratulations you two and thank you so much! Which brings us to another important announcement: our pack has grown rather quickly lately and we've had to make the hard decision to close recruitment for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, we can't give an accurate estimate as to when we plan on opening our doors again, but if you've been thinking about joining and don't want to wait, please check out the Linkshell Hall here at the RPC for an alternative. We've got a lot planned for the rest of this week and next week, with many of our crew running some events of their own, the Sunny Seaside Bar tomorrow and the return of our company plotline, so hang onto your ears, or horns, or tails, or whatever you have, and get ready for some fun!

The past week or so has been quite busy as usual for a perfectly legitimate salvaging business. Many of our members have hit 60 and started infiltrating Alexander already, whilst our glorious leaders may or may not still be suffering through the Churning Mists. We're hoping to start up company runs of the new raid next week when we have more people levelled and geared. As far as roleplay goes, Sayuri took us out into the wilderness to search for paint ingredients last Wednesday so she can start redecorating for us. I hear there were only minor complications so well done. We're looking forward to seeing what she does with the shop! Friday night, however, didn't go so well. The Jackals headed to Coerthas on what was meant to be a simple caravan escort but were ambushed by a horde of heavily armed bandits and a magitek colossus! Most of the pack sustained heavy injuries and, if it weren't for the chirurgeon who happened to pass through at the time, it's most likely we'd have had casualties as well. We spent Saturday recovering in nearby Fallgourd Float and then got the shipment back to Limsa via airship from Gridania on Sunday. Needless to say, we've all been scratching our heads, wondering just what in the seven hells went wrong. Something fishy is afoot and it's now down to the Jackals to find out more! This coming Saturday we host the Sunny Seaside Bar again and will have Kilid's dodgeball as our entertainment. We've played quite a few games within the company and it seems to be enjoyed by everyone so we hope to see folks there for a bit of fun! My Characters || Metaphysick

As we kicked off our next company plotline last week, it was time again for me to write a summary. Enjoy! Show Content Spoiler Act 3: The Silk Road Chapter 1 It was meant to be an easy job. Escort the silks and other Ishgardian fineries from Camp Dragonhead to Limsa Lominsa. The Jackals would take the long road, through the Shroud to Thanalan, and use the caravan as a cover for the real work. Their sights were set on a small Garlean convoy; magitek parts and other riches awaited them. The true nature of the mission was kept a secret, even to the pack, for the time being due to the risk involved should they be found out prior to making the hit. Yet all their safety measures and careful planning fell spectacularly apart as they ventured through the icy landscape of Coerthas. The ambush was swift and brutal. Men armed to the teeth assaulted those guarding the caravan itself, whilst the scouting group further ahead were met by a magitek colossus. Almost all of the Jackals suffered terrible injuries and, in some cases, would not have lived to tell the tale had it not been for the Au Ra chirurgeon passing by at the time. Their foes eventually perished or fled but the price paid for their success was heavy indeed. The pack gathered up the wounded and spent the next day recovering in Fallgourd Float. The question on everyone's minds was the same: how did this happen? Some began blaming each other whilst others blamed themselves. Theories and suspicions were raised but no answer could be found at the time. Moving on to Gridania and taking airship flight to Limsa the following day, the Jackals arrived home safely and the arguments began in earnest. Inarah finally explained that the job was a cover, and perhaps their plan had, after all, been discovered by their prey. The fact she kept this secret enraged some of the pack and the threads tying them all together began to fray. Requiring answers of her own, Inarah took Aeron with her to search for answers in Limsa's underbelly whilst Kilid headed north to Coerthas. Although Kilid's efforts were futile, Inarah's bore fruit; an enigmatic woman known only as The Ruby promised to give her the information she desired, but only if the Jackals succeeded in their planned attack on the Garlean convoy. With little else to go on, and a promise of appraisers and buyers for the goods they would recover, it seemed an offer she could scarcely refuse. Was this too convenient, too good to be true? Were the Jackals in over their heads? Only time, and the outcome of the next job, would tell. My Characters || Metaphysick

If you're interested in joining a ragtag bunch of lunatics perfectly normal people for fun, adventure and of course some sweet, sweet gil, fill out an application and we'll be in touch. But enough about that! What have we been up to, you undoubtedly ask, with bated breath? Last Friday, Fejika had a job for the Jackals that ended in goblin murder and explosions which nearly took out Fejika herself and two of our crew. Luckily for the injured three, their recovery has come along nicely, but we doubt this is the last we've heard from the mysterious villains who caused all the trouble. Last Saturday we opened the Sunny Seaside Bar again and had the first inter-FC dodgeball match! Nailah's Kindred put up a good fight but the rolls were with the Jackals for once and we stood triumphant. Monday was another night at the Missing Member, with 100% more cake than last time. Aeron will attest to how amazing it was, seeing as he ate nearly half of it all to himself. Finally, just yesterday we travelled to some ruins in the North Shroud to decipher more riddles and discover the secrets of the Jade Chocobo. This week, we hit up the Missing Member again tonight and then on Saturday the bar is once more ready for customers, with rumours of a cooking contest in the works for entertainment. Look forward to seeing you all there! My Characters || Metaphysick

Show Content Spoiler Chapter 2 It was time to take out the Garlean convoy. The patrol routes had been studied, Locke had been busy making explosives and the pack was running like a well oiled machine. They all met in Northern Thanalan and split up into groups. Inarah led the charge northwest to set explosives along the convoy's route, Kilid's party headed northeast to the rendezvous point and Platinum brought up the rear with the rest of the healers. Each group ran into minor scuffles with Garlean patrols or local wildlife but the assault largely started off smoothly. The convoy hit the line of explosives and the accompanying soldiers were initially too busy with the ensuing fire to take much note of the Jackals. Their magitek reapers and vanguards suffered enough damage from the blasts that it didn't take long for the pack to make short work of them. Everything went off without a hitch until the soldiers noticed the company and attacked. The Jackals fought fiercely at first; as time went on, however, it became clear that most of their enemies were actually conscripts and wanted no part of the bloodshed. They were given a chance to surrender but those who did were swiftly turned on by their fellow soldiers and shot dead where they stood, with hands held up in appeasement. When the smoke cleared, there was plenty of magitek scrap and others valuables to be salvaged from the wreckage, but the deaths seemed to weigh heavily on the hearts of the victors. To complicate matters further, upon one of the fallen soldiers was a bundle of parchment; it appeared to be a contract between the Empire and a mercenary company called the Bloody Axes. The date and location for the contracted hit was precisely the same as the Jackals' ill-fated Coerthas job. More curious still, there was a hastily written addendum upon the contract which read, "Kill them. The Crowe will not tolerate delays." Who was this Crowe and why did she or he want to eliminate the Jackals? Chapter 3 With the Thanalan job now complete, Inarah and Aeron were due to again meet with The Ruby about both payment and answers. She explained the true nature of her interest in the company; she worked for the Maelstrom itself, particularly in keeping tabs on the Garlean Empire. She proposed that the Jackals continue working for her, and in turn the Maelstrom, by continuing to put down threats from the Garleans. In return, she would encourage the Maelstrom to turn a blind eye to the company's less legal operations and provide easy avenues for selling the spoils of victory. Should they refuse, however, the threat of the law bearing down upon them was very real indeed. The Ruby also revealed that one of the pack was in actuality a former Garlean soldier: Thya Kazhuun. Whether Thya still held any loyalty to the Empire, she wouldn't say, but it was clear that the Jackals were entangled in this far more than they probably could ever have dreamed, and perhaps did not have much of a choice in accepting The Ruby's proposal. Inarah and Aeron decided that, for the time being, they would keep this bombshell of information from the rest of the pack. The last thing they needed now was another round of distrust and controversy. Putting on happy faces, they merely delivered the good news that the items were sold off for a tidy profit and everyone would receive a bonus for their efforts. My Characters || Metaphysick

Where does the time go?), another successful salvage operation, the loss of a loved character, the appointment of a new officer, the beginning of the Jackalendar shots, a trip to the Golden Saucer, and still yet more! Although before we get started on this, first let me give a huge congratulations to Aeron, who has the dubious honour of being given the grand title of Agent!  May his reign of terror be sweetened by the collective tears of our foes! (But in all seriousness, congratulations on becoming an officer!  We'll try not to dump too much work on you.  Semi-promise!) (See more of this gallery here) The Missing Member continues to be our weekly FC gathering point, for regular catch-ups, socialisation, and the occasional drunken dare to dive off the tower into the frigid waters below.  Naturally, we keep the event open to just about anyone who'd want to come and join in!  Don't be afraid to leap into the RP, or even to whisper if you're looking for an 'in' to the proceedings somehow, folks!  We don't bite unless you pay a special fee. (See more of the first gallery here, and the second here!) The Sunny Seaside Bar celebrated a whopping twelfth event for its sixth month anniversary by hosting a tasteful cook-off event!  It was a great night, and a great milestone, and it's only great because of the people that continue to turn up and make it what it is, so a great big thank you to everyone that made it that night, and any other night!  We love you all.  This was followed a fortnight later by the (un?)lucky 13th, which garnered one of our largest crowds yet and saw the Jackals lose their first ever external Dodgeball tournament!  We regained some honour by winning the final match of the three, but still, our congratulations for the night go to the Kindred for winning those first two rounds. (See more of this gallery here) Jackal & Hide struck again!  Or, to be precise, our salvage operation did.  A risky excursion to the Umbral Isles paid dividends, as the wreck of half of a Garlean cruiser was plundered of salvageable materials, and a small amount of surviving technology that should fetch a tidy little sum once fenced off into the correct hands!  With, of course, a small amount set aside for our eager engineers to play with down in the depths of the workshop... (See more of this gallery here) After all the excitement of late, a break was definitely on the cards, and being Jackals, we did it with style!  An all-expenses-paid trip to the Saucer, filled with games, gambling, and gluttony helped to ease the stress we've been feeling of late, although some things still weigh heavily on the collective FC's mind...</p> (See more of this gallery here) ... such as the passing of Romimo Romi.  The news was broken to the company as a whole not long after Locke brought the terrible news to Inarah and Kilid.  While no body was found, an excursion to the site of her fateful last moments was made by Inarah, Kilid, Kheja, and Locke in the hopes of finding... something.  The head of her staff was successfully recovered, which is... something, right?  A proper send-off is in the works.  It'll be grand.  Romi would have loved it. (See more of this gallery here) And, of course, not to mention the myriad other smaller and personal events that take place inbetween!  Several personal plots are currently in the works (And as I type this, one is happening right now!), and, naturally, we encourage of more you to start stories too!  More stories, more RP.  More RP, more fun!  More fun... hells... MOAR E'RYTHING! Hope to see you all in Emoarzea soon! Jackal & Hide [EU] - Crime pays.  We have a mansion.

First and foremost, bear with me as this is the first news post you'll be seeing that is written by me and not the legendary Kilid nor Inarah. I'm sure this will become an easier task in due time but with the strength of a thousand Amal'jaa I will succeed! Though it's been a while since we've had one of these I believe the last time you read one of these glorious information, news posts of ours you were left in sadness at the fact Romi had died yet still we searched on. So lets pick this up there shall we? So we're there all quite saddened by the loss of a good friend yet as always the world doesn't stop spinning just because of a few tears here and there, business has to keep flowing it's usual way to keep that gil coming in and we don't lose the roof over our heads. Somewhere during the searches for our beloved Romi that had passed away which you were informed about in the 'Romimber' post, a form of trade agreement was set up with the Vath. Those bug boys down in the forelands, yeah you know.. The clickers whenever they spoke or walked. But in the aftermath of the amazing plot that was Romi's personal story her wounded body had been found by them and she was safely returned to us! Great news! -------- ... but we can't take a break just yet as other plots designed by our various members keep throwing themselves at us. Be they a story of intrigue or simple cracking skulls. The story and plot developed by one of our own at how her past was finally catching up to her and she asked the rest of the Jackals help to make sure nobody would find themselves becoming the target of this devil-ish person from her past. From the shop to the beaches of Costa Del Sol and in a small boat to a bigger boat filled with pirates we went to battle the main villain of the story! With success even. -------- ... Not a few suns later we find ourselves in a place where water is but a distant memory, surrounded by the endless sand of the Sagollii we had ventured alongside a guide in search of an airship that had crashed down somewhere on it's way to the Golden Saucer. Easy, right? Not if it was up to the sand worm lurking deep within the sands awaiting it's prey. Eventually we found the airship and collected some of the goods before we all became the breakfast to a gigantic sand worm, unfortunately not all is good news as we discovered the fact that some passengers had survived the crash and were captured by the Amal'jaa! A rescue... For another time. -------- ... But after all that danger, despair and adventure it's about that time again. Isn't it? Another seaside bar where everyone gets a moment to simply relax. Well between the last news post we had more then one seaside bar! One seaside bar event saw us hold a cooking contest and the more recent one was filled with fashion in our contest as people joined in to be crowned the winner of the fashion contest. That place ended up going to Redera Rykker with her gorgeous outfit yet with a close second of Rosie and a third position held by Aldyet with her alley-brawler outfit. -------- As usual we still have long roads ahead of us with various plots created by our members, the agents and FC leaders who brought us all together J'inarah and J'kilid. It's truely an amazing thing to look forward to and ofcourse to inform the rest of you of what has been going on within this FC and perhaps lure you to us with promises of tears of joy, sadness and some cake in the mix. And to notify the world and deliver good news, we would also like to welcome Cassandra Lachance to the Jackals and Hide as one of the newly appointed Agents to aid with the on-coming work of more glorious things for us all to do! The next update of our on-goings will 'possibly' arrive towards the end of September to start it off fresh in October. http://aeron-volkova.tumblr.com/
