[Takeshi has been... very careful. Since the last time he replied to something on the linkshell. However, he can't help but have a feeling of dread as August rolled in. Maybe he's just paranoid. But in the middle of the night, there is a text appearing on the list from him.]

Out of curiosity, what does everyone think of this invitation to the Empire? (Also what does someone wear to those kinds of things?)

Found something interesting in the 'Width. Be visiting soon.

Said I'd message you when I had something. I finished the map, so I'm sending you that now. Expect the other thing before some of us accept that most gracious invitation.

[Attached is crystallismap.jpeg and wor.jpeg. It's far rougher than what the official images look like, more like outlines that have been erased and redrawn until it seemed right and then redrawn over with ink. He's no ultimate artist (or any artist, for that matter), but it's passable and isn't inaccurate.]

Hey dad. Found something of interest you should see. I'll be between Arito and Yun'Ashia for most of the month working on adding to it, but lmk when'd be good to visit.

Probably a smart move.

...The defaults for my asterisk uniforms? And a lot of black. [Bless him, he doesn't know how to explain it.]

It's served me well up until now.

Which ones do you have? And black is nice. Any other colors?

[And then it occurred to her that she had no idea what the male options were for most of the asterisks. Ahaha, oops.]

Eh, I tended to wing it. Lot easier with people you don't know likely to do something really, really dumb.

White mage, mostly. There's some pale yellow jacket in my closet, but that's about it?

[Who lets this boy dress himself. Seriously.]

That works too! You can't plan for what other people are going to do.

[Sometimes they did stupid things like trying to be a human shield.]

I... have no idea what the White Mage outfit looks like! :D

But! Black and pale yellow would work really well together. Or black and any other light color.

Maybe not all black though.

Eeexactly. And, hang on. [He sends a picture of another in the guild, because haha. That's taking a picture of himself at like, 2am. whm.jpg]

Like that.

And I'd say "Don't tell my girlfriend that" but she's not exactly here to hear it.

[Well that was helpful!]

That's actually really nice! I like that~ :D

Also, I don't know who your girlfriend is. Orrr whether or not she can pull off all black. :P

But I'm sorry she's not here with you.

Yeah, except it washes me out. White hair.

Her name's Lydia, and she's home with her family. That's all she or I could ask for.

Could you swap the white for black? Or maybe off-white?

[Maybe cream? That might work.]

Lydia's a pretty name. :) And I'm glad she's with her family at least.

Tried that and one of the others had a hissy fit and demanded I changed. I may have laughed at them for it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[He's a rebel.]

Same. She wasn't really cut out for extended adventures.

You should be able to wear what you want in whatever color you want! :| Why were they throwing a fit?

[Maybe he was exaggerating a little?]

Not everyone is, and that's okay.

Something about "white mages should stand out", but I don't think he realizes that can also be a bad thing in a combat scenario...

Yea, uh. That seems like a bad idea in general. Standing out is fine if that's what you're trying for. But I feel like having the white mage blend in a little more would be smarter. :3
