[Journal]

> Sender: Yujin Mikotoba
> To: Everyone

[This message comes in some very distinct handwriting. He's actually writing in Japanese but, y'know, magical mechanics. Though it might be recognizable to those who've conversed with Yujin over the journal before, it's also perfectly legible. (C'mon, not all doctors have terrible handwriting.)]

Good afternoon. If I may have a moment of everyone's time, please.

Should we not be acquainted yet, my name is Yujin Mikotoba. Currently, I am working with Dr. Mathis to get a medical clinic up and running. Back home, I am a university professor of forensic science and on rare occasion, I serve as a diplomatic advisor to my government.

I am writing to you today with the intention of discussing the ever increasing criminal activities within Reverein and its neighboring areas. It has come to my attention that there are no true written laws to be found, nor official law enforcement. There is no ruler of any sort here, and as a result, no one who has the final say in conflicts. I fear that before long, we may be opening ourselves up not only to vigilantes, but to those who may take advantage of the lack of structure and authority in order to get away with more nefarious deeds.

However, I am aware this is not a simple discussion by any means. As our community continues to grow, so does the diversity within it. We all hail from different worlds, with different cultures and values. What may be common courtesy to some may be an entirely foreign concept to others. For that reason, I propose that there may be merit in assembling a council of sorts. Not to rule, but rather, to offer perspective from different angles. It may be too early to construct true laws, though that needn't stop us from coming together and building a bit of moral structure. The more feedback and experiences we gather in this council, the easier it will be to construct regulatory guidelines. Then, in due time, perhaps we may gather some volunteers to be certain these guidelines are adhered to for the sake of keeping the peace.

This is only a humble proposal, of course. If you have any thoughts on the matter, or an interest in this hypothetical council, please feel free to respond. I would very much like to hear more opinions. Thank you for your time.



[Greenhouse | OTA]

[It's a brisk day out, a light drizzle of rain pestering anyone who dares to venture outside. Luckily, Yujin Mikotoba is working inside. Inside the greenhouse, that is! The Glowing Dawn flowers, an impressive collection in all, are glowing with a discreet blue light and the rain is tapping against the glass roof in a relaxing manner. All in all, it's not a bad place to be! Yujin is crouching by some of the flowers, checking the leaves for any infestations and taking notes on their growth.

While the greenhouse is just behind the Mikotoba treehouse, it's not exactly private property. Anyone is free to stop by and investigate!]



[Clinic | Closed to Jude]

[Another location where Yujin spends his time is the soon-to-be-clinic! It's still being prepared together with Jude, but they're getting very close now. The place ought to be operational soon enough.

At the moment, Yujin is preparing a bed in one of the patient rooms. After what happened with 76, it's become extra clear to him that the clinic needs to be ready to accept patients as soon as possible, so they can recover in a controlled environment with all the necessities within reach. The room has to be clean and it has to be comfortable.]



[Wildcard]

[Want to do something else with him? Go wild, or hit me up on Plurk or Discord for plotting!]

Of course.

[Nuff said, he'll proceed to do just that, and start the fire itself with dreamotion. Integrating everyday chores into your practice routine does help, and it's good to stay in form. Then it's getting the leaves, a plain but functional teapot, and two cups; Jude's no expert, but Rowen's taught him a thing or two back home. The proportions and length of time depends on the tea, and...

...

He's going quiet to focus. Not that he's trying to impress anyone, but doing anything in front of someone you respect and look up to DOES tend to make one try harder, completely normal right? Give him a few minutes...]

[Honestly, Jude isn't too sure himself if it's not just a habit for him at this point, or simply part of who he is. Of course he wants to do well at whatever he sets out to try, but at the same time, those honor student habits ARE quite deeply ingrained...

He doesn't take too long at least, having made tea plenty of times on various occasions before. Heating the kettle via dreamotion probably took the most concentration and effort, as he's seizing the opportunity to practice and is fairly confident to have it down well enough for everyday use. He'll be joining Yujin at the table with a tray once he's finished, holding just the teapot and two cups with nothing else.]


Thanks for waiting. Do you take your tea with extras, Dr. Mikotoba?
