Howdy folks!
Busy busy busy times indeed for the Jackals of late, what with two Missing Member events, two Sunny Seaside Bar events (including the six month anniversary! 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!)

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. Â Naturally, we keep the event open to just about anyone who'd want to come and join in! Â 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! Â We don't bite unless you pay a special fee.

The Sunny Seaside Bar celebrated a whopping twelfth event for its sixth month anniversary by hosting a tasteful cook-off event! Â 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! Â We love you all. Â 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! Â 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.

Jackal & Hide struck again! Â Or, to be precise, our salvage operation did. Â 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! Â With, of course, a small amount set aside for our eager engineers to play with down in the depths of the workshop...

After all the excitement of late, a break was definitely on the cards, and being Jackals, we did it with style! Â 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>

... such as the passing of Romimo Romi. Â The news was broken to the company as a whole not long after Locke brought the terrible news to Inarah and Kilid. Â 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. Â The head of her staff was successfully recovered, which is... something, right? Â A proper send-off is in the works. Â It'll be grand. Â Romi would have loved it.

And, of course, not to mention the myriad other smaller and personal events that take place inbetween! Â 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! Â More stories, more RP. Â More RP, more fun! Â More fun... hells...
MOAR E'RYTHING!
Hope to see you all in Emoarzea soon!
