12GIL updates

Ralul - He's long finished converting the beachfront property in Madain Sari into a secret base of operations for 12GIL. Not something typically done in their practice, but given the current state of the organization, somewhat necessary. After all, meeting in the normal fashion's no longer quite possible. There's still the crystal balls, but for now, he believes giving some sort of centralization to their efforts is necessary. On his actual job front, he's not had much to do, but he'll gladly check over Terrato's aether realm once contacted.

Noah - Between adventures, he's been bringing on-board a number of materials to eventually convert the Athenaeum Stray into the traveling diner/library thing you two wanted for ages. Though he's not begun work on that front yet. He's also considering de-armoring the Stray and restoring it to its original state. Apart from that, he's been taking care of Stiltzkin, whose health has been up and down in recent days, and meeting with a few eidolons. In particular he's trying to figure out what the fuck Ultros is and how he came to be an Eidolon. He is still puzzled as shit.

Gretel - Taken on the duties of helping hunt down uncooperative Returners members, though wherever she can, she's also making connections, spreading tales, and adding rumors to the mill as she's abroad.

Eiko - You find out she's actually been visiting the Ark quite a bit on the sly - not even you've seen her much, but you suppose it explains why Nat's been around so much. Noah has been helping her figure out duties as an Eidolon Tamer and all that. She currently has plans to touch base with as many eidolons as she can to get an idea of their personalities and where they fit in to everything. All without letting her dad find out, of course.

Elvis - Finished setting up a communication network for 12GIL members and many of the important eidolons. Also conducting reports to help keep a positive slant on Eidolons and combat bias.

Ariel - Traveling, currently, to get an idea of the gate locations. Jokingly asked Ricard if he knew of a way to reach the moons, without providing context. Became alarmed when he took her to an observatory in Upper Burmecia to show her the faint speck of a spear with the Burmecian flag in it on the blue moon's surface. She's still trying to figure that one out.

Keymaster - Ralul has decided to approach the Renegade and attempt to coax him back into the organization in this new role.

Walt - Busy with preparations for the twice-delayed Festival of the Hunt. The public hype is dying down because it's missed schedule twice already, but in return Walt is pulling out absolutely all of the stops to make sure this is the most exciting Hunt in the history of Lindblum. The advertisement campaign is kind of ridiculous, actually - he's actually claiming to unveil a new type of monster that no one on Gaia has seen before. It's set to happen on April 18th.

Mist Dragon - Is busy setting up her new home. She's taking her sweet time about it, constructing things both in and out of her realm, the latter with some help. She's still scouting some locations for the possible misty valley entrances, as well as libraries. She predicts a solid road ahead!

Lady ???? Geraldine - More active as of late due to all of the eidolon activity going on. Still pregnant as well. Did I mention Bahamut was the father? Gotta keep the line going somehow when you have a single family living in the Underworld. She's currently speaking with Yojimbo about various grievances he has and those certain parties have against him.

Kross - He's expressed interest in coming to visit you sometime, both as a social call and to learn some of the techniques he'll need for Shrouding. Other than that, he's been actually latched on to by a number of the community as an elder, despite not really being that old, in the sort of mistaken belief that since he was from an older time he may know ancient wisdom. He's doing what he can, though.
