Well here was a face no one had seen in a while. It was anyone's guess as to where he went. Or even as to why he came back. Maybe he just liked torturing himself.

He sat on on a large rock near the lakefront, not seeming to care that it was cold and dark and generally wintery outside.

Finally! After months of work, my store is finally open!

[Does a small flourish with her parasol at her store, which is filled with mannequins dressed in finery of all sorts. For men and women, from subtle and traditional to modern and flashy, for every day wear and for balls, and for every instance in between]

I didn't travel all the way from New Armes to let an earthquake and a fire stand in the way of my destiny as a FASHION DIVA. Oh no!

In fact, to celebrate my rise from ashes, I'm even having a sale! It's a prefect time to get a new dress or suit for the New Year's ball! Yes now is the prefect time to come get a fitting so that it'll be ready by New Years!

[A small boat flying Falenan colors sails into the Budehuc port. Stepping off onto the dock are Lorelai and Shoon with a giant gaudy golden belt over his shoulder and a small amount of his gladiators who hadn't stayed behind to help with the cleanup behind them]

Well it's good to be back on land again. [she gives Shoon wave and makes her way towards the mansion]

[ After weeks of absence, Chris is once again wandering by the Budehuc scenery, only this time she is distinctly out of uniform. This is her first time back since that rainy night, and only now can she see the extent of the charred forest in the daylight. At the very least, compared to what she's had to answer for at the capital, this seems... peaceful. ]

What a strange feeling. [ She shakes her head and slowly starts walking again. ] Perhaps a stroll by the lakeside is just what I need.

Year 475 of the Solar Calendar:
X-Month, Y-Day.
Slightly chilly weather.

It's been almost two months since that terrible day. A lot has been repaired, but the remaining blemishes will always be a reminder of what almost came to be. The others still talk about it, and public unrest is quietly brewing. It's going to be difficult to win back their trust in Budehuc, but I am going to work hard to make everyone feel safe again.

I hear Hugo hasn't had any more incidents since then, which means whatever ritual Lady Zerase performed must have worked. I wish I could find her so I can personally thank her, but I hear that she doesn't even have a room! Where has she been sleeping all this time?

News of Lady Chris' trial echoed across the nation. Word is that she has been suspended until her next hearing. I suppose the Council is trying to wash their hands off everything that happened here, but we will always know that Lady Chris is a hero. In fact, I think the Council knows this, too, which only makes it harder for everyone.

Bishop Sasarai is officially back in Harmonia as well. I really wish he could have stayed longer, but it looks like all the True Rune bearers are forced to deal with their own political situation.

On a brighter note, I hear Caesar is due to come back soon! In the meantime, I'm going to make my rounds, there's still so much work to be done!

((OOC: The timeskip! This post is a little different in that it's his private journal entry, but post here as you would in any mingle post/rp log and Thomas will kindly approach them. :3 ))

[ In the dead of night, hours before the sunrise, what was once a blaring battlefield of flame and explosions is now replaced by a gentle cascade of rainfall. Peculiarly, the drops heal any superficial wounds if they make contact, but sadly the same can't be said for the buildings and the landscape. Although the flames have been put out, much of the forest has become charred and there is little left of Budehuc's architecture. Indeed, right now, the castle is in worse shape than ever. ]

(( OOC: This is the aftermath post of Hugo's event. It's a mingle event so characters can thread with each other, or if they want Chris specifically just reply to her comment in this post! ))

flamesandfeathers

[Night has fallen, it's a new moon and the stars are shining brightly. The ceremony to seal the True Wind left in the Sindar Ruins and the True Wind bore by the Luc from the past is starting. Hugo was sitting on the steps outside the manor, trying desperately to keep control of True Fire. Heat radiates off of him, making the air around him shimmer. Even he can feel it. He stands, knowing he has to get away before he catches something on fire. Leaping down the steps, head down, he sprints to the gates leading out to the plains. If he just make it in time...

It's starting to hurt. His heart is racing and his head throbs. He makes past the gates, gets another hand full of steps, and then collapses to his hands and knees. It's so hot that his tears of frustration evaporate before they have a chance to trail down his cheeks.

And then fire ignites. Just his rune hand at first. Hugo pushes himself to his feet, makes it another two meters from the gate when he stops. The Fire begins to swirl around him, becoming a swirling vortex that reaches high into the sky. It's not bright enough make night day, but it is bright enough to over shadow the stars. True Fire wants to burn, Hugo's doing everything in his power to hold it back, but Hugo's not in control anymore.]

((OOC: This is it! The Final Battle to the two many True Runes plot. Try to keep the True Fire Rune from going ballistic and burning everything!))

[ An organized cavalry of Zexen knights arrive at the Budehuc gates. The infantry men quickly clear the way for Chris on her white steed to enter the scene, followed by a peculiar carriage. With no time to waste, the Silver Maiden dismounts her horse to assesses the situation as some infantry men help Alma Kinan shamans out of the carriage. ]

Thank goodness -- we're not too late. Everything is still in one piece here.

judgementscythe

[Clothes still torn and a bit bloody from the fight in the ruins Lorelai rides through the gates of town slumped over her horse. A small box sealed with a blue gem clutched tightly to her chest. She slowly let's herself fall to the ground and stumbles a bit on her feet as she makes her way into the mansion to take the sealed True Wind to the war room hoping any of the others had succeeded with what they needed to get done.]

aloof_savant

Guess who's got two thumbs and doesn't have to babysit you lot anymore? That's right, this guy! From now on, if you got any questions or problems, I'd like to kindly point you to our true castle master.

As for me... I guess that officially makes me a guest here, too. Now, who wants to suggest what I can do with all my free time? I promise I'll pretend to listen!

[ It's mid-afternoon, and Ted can be seen tending to the gardens in their sorry state following the earthquake, gently coaxing broken stems and leaves to recover. He props plants that have fallen over up against sticks to steady them, his expression intent as he currently rights a very bruised tomato plant. He's clearly got a knack for this, but it's going to take him a few days to fix up all the crops at this rate. ]

Looks like the castle will have to live without tomato juice for a while yet...

grassnorcrystal

[Franz and Ruby lands outside the gates of the Budehuc, and Franz dismounts. He’s not dressed in his uniform, instead wearing civilian clothes that wouldn’t be out of place in the HSFDF] What in the world happened? Looks like a golem came through here.

Anyways, I’m Franz, from Le Buque reporting here as… a member of the Harmonian Southern Frontier Defense Force as extra security for his Grace, the Bishop Sasarai.

This is Ruby, he’s my mantor. Don’t be afraid of him, he’s harmless so long as you’re not baiting him.

sansfrontieres

[ An eager Thomas enters the courtyard after a long journey, followed by Cecile, Sebastian and Muto. As the group disperses to inspect Budehuc's new scenery, Thomas is left awestruck. New people, new shops, new buildings... and a lot of cracks in the ground. ]

Wha... What happened here...?

cooking_squire

[Louis is standing outside the infirmary, leaning against the wall, taking a drink of water. He has bags under his eyes. He's been working in the infirmary since the earthquake, only leaving to eat, sleep, or his official duties for Lady Chris]

Almost done. Only a few people still in the infirmary. And hopefully they'll be able to go home soon.

We were very lucky that things weren't worse. No fatalities.

[Sighs] Just a lot of concussions and broken bones.

gladiatorfist

[Shoon struts into the center of town with a few of his gladiators and a new stack of posters to replace the old ones that were up before. No longer would this be his show. He would start with a real impact here in the grasslands. He jumps to the lip of the fountain and takes a deep breath]

[Carnival barker Voice]PEOPLE OF BUDEHUC! I know we could all use something positive after the recent Earthquake and so with that no longer is the show here going to be about the talents of the Gladiators of Falena. Our first big event will be [Raises his arms in a flourish and shouts] AN INTERNATIONAL FIGHTING TOURNAMENT!

[Back to his carnival barker voice] That's right! Everyone is invited to join in this tournament of champions! Your heroes from the Grasslands and the Zexen Federation, Falena, Dunan, Gregminster and more! Let the heroes of the world battle for supremacy and to bring cheer to the people of Budehuc! Sign up sheet is on the table next to the newspaper So let the greatest fighters in the world put on the most competitive fighting tournament you will ever witness!

[Jumps down from the fountain and makes his way into the manor]

[ A few days after the earthquake, Minen can be seen standing around the currently dilapidated construction site of the new town. She had been healing the wounded with some Kindness Drop rune scrolls the past few days, and now that the dust has finally settled she's back to surveying the area... not for anyone who's injured this time, but for whoever looks suspicious. ]

Now, who to interview first...

aloof_savant

[ Thankfully, both the doors leading into the war room managed to get through the earthquake undamaged and are now shut tight. Behind the doors is a room that's mostly still in shambles, but it's now occupied by a big table borrowed from the tavern next door, as well as enough chairs for everyone in the room to be seated on, if they wish. ]

[It's a perfect day in Budehuc - the sun is shining, the birds are singing, there's a strange shape falling from the sky....??

That's right, anyone lucky enough to be walking around outside today (or sitting, or standing, or bathing) will get a wonderful surprise: a teenage girl, landing right on top of you! Watch out, it might be kind of a rough landing.]

...Huh? Wha? Where'd all the food go?

[If you'd prefer not to be so lucky, she'll later be found wandering around the castle grounds, cheerfully looking around, sometimes sticking her head in places it doesn't belong--like in that barrel, or that cupboard, or oh, is there anyone behind door number three?]

ladyofstars

[Zerase is in the library, ignoring all the fallen bookshelves unless it has a book on it she wants. She has removed her cloak and has it hanging off a corner of a still hanging shelf. The books she has stacked on a table are The History of the Scarlet Moon, The Formation of the Highland Kingdom, The Fire Bringer War and various other texts about Harmonia's history. By the books is a piece of parchment written in glyphs. In her hands she has open another history book as she paces back and forth, every once in awhile she pauses and writes something on the parchment]

That's what I thought.

[She sets the book down and goes for another]

A little before noon, there's a sudden, violent shaking of the earth, soon resonating with a series of loud cracks as the ground opens up in front of the manor, down the center of the courtyard, and elsewhere on the castle grounds. Although the tremors shake the builds, loosening roof tiles and disturbing the areas of new construction, nothing managed to completely fall.

And just like that, after only a few minutes, the worst of the quake ends and soon subsides to weaker tremors until, finally, it simply stops altogether.

((OOC: Thank you Lila for writing this up! Feel free to RP either during the big quake or the small tremors. If you want to RP your characters reaction after the quakes, it might be better to write up a new post so the order of events don't get mangled up in this post. ))
