Grim is a fan of both the original and Fate versions of Gilgamesh, I see!
Dreigonix again forgets that Ayers is shooting at Dex.

@Romanian: Here's a proofread version of the news broadcast.
VNN: Morning News
"An attempted robbery of a Dust Vault by a gang of mobsters, belonging to an unknown gang, has been foiled by the recently-recovered firstborn princess of Vale."
The screen showed Alice in her gold armor stepping into the vault, then bursts of gunfire, and then the Princess exited, telekinetically lifting the robbers by their collars.
"Princess Goldflame, as the masses have taken to call her, has been foiling similar crimes all throughout this weekend. VNN caught up with the Princess after the robbery and asked for a comment."
Alice's fierce face filled the screen. "I am simply doing my part in protecting my kingdom, and that extends to this Vormund vigilante as well. If you are watching this, vigilante, know that you are a danger to my people. I will find you. And I will bring you to justice."
"And so the Princess issues a challenge to the legendary outlaw. In other news, a swath of destruction had been carved into southern Vale recently. Though it is currently unknown what caused these attacks, as the villages and towns caught in the onslaught were all but annihilated, a survivor has been on record stating that the destruction was "the wrath of the gods", and that the one responsible was "Hell's Dragon, sent to purge the sinners from this rotten world." Stay tuned for more information on this story."
The screen then showed Maximillian Alexandros, CEO of the Mistrali Megacorp Olympos Corporation.
The man smirked at the screen, red eyes flashing from his expensive shades, his dyed golden hair glinting in the sunlight. He wore snakeskin pants, boots and jacket.
"In other news, Maximillian Alexandros has announced the grand opening of the first Vale Branch of Olympos Corp. Olympos Tower is located in the business district of Vale, and will open on Umbra 13."
Max Alexandros speaks to the camera in perfect Common. "Well, it's about time Olympos showed those mongrels in Vale that there's only one world leader, and that Max Alexandros will always be the King of Business!"
"And for our final story, Schnee Dust quarries have been attacked, and workers have been executed by unknown terrorists in the Third Court of Atlas. The ruler of the Court, Lord Ujasiri Ukungu, has denied all connections to the crimes. That said, Royal Knight Jude Von Ormann will be flying to Atlas later this week to investigate, a decision that Lord Ukungu is not pleased with."
"When asked to comment, Sir Ormann only said that Ukungu should be uncomfortable and that he liked "seeing old Nyoka squirm." That is all for Today's VNN broadcast."

Allurand and surrounding world loading, 28%...Is that news broadcast plot-relevant because it foreshadows something? Does our next mission involve going to Atlas? Cause that place is super depressing, and really kills the mood and tone. And it's really hard to be moe. Considering how Grim being grounded means that we're moving like ten times slower, and that at our breakneck pace the last mission still took a week, I don't wanna be stuck in Darkest Africa for two months.
I think that as long as Grim is grounded, we should just take the IC day by day so that we can still develop our characters while he's gone, as well as get some more interaction out of these people.
I think Pius might just show a little CloudCuckoolander and engage in some Seinfeldian Conversation with as many people as he can...
"Hey, those are legitimate points to consider, writer!"
Rriiight...

I vote mobsters. I want to write Tranquil Fury Barry sooo much!
Or we could have a week or two IC where nothing overly shitty happens for the characters and they have to deal with the much greater stress of existing without a lot of adventure aside from the wacky hijinks, friendship moments, grades good and bad, and conversations both meaningful and meaningless that they create on their own. That's an option, right?

What about that Vormund thing? Is that going to be relevant?
Also, voting for the dragon.
On another note, Grim: Have you checked out the Beacon-2 Chat Room? There's something there requiring your attention. Also, any chance you can peek into your mailbox at all?

But no seriously, nothing much happened. Duels are going on right now, because dick measuring. And that's about it, since all the parents went home.
