29th April 2010: A catastrophe the likes of which none could have predicted has swept the Order. In less than an hour all that the Priestess worked for seems to have been undone.
Cressa, in a magical battle with Panda, engulfed half of the Temple in a fiery explosion. The only thing that saved from even more damage was the heavy use of enchantments in the building's construction. Now, Panda is dead, and Cressa has dragged her good old friend Jessie down into the hole she has dug. In her rage, Lorika accidentally-on-purpose reveals the secrets of their Captain's origins to a shocked and bewildered crowd of onlookers.
And then the Overseer turns up. His secret, undetected (but not unsuspected) for weeks, is laid bare in a second by Cressa's keen senses.
Fleeing from imprisonment, the drow have hatched a plan to redeem themselves by fetching the True Overseer from wherever he may be.
Meanwhile, several casualties have already been counted. Evelyn and Xeiashi have seen better days. Fel, barely recovered from her magical brush with Gwarn the day before, manages to escape from the infirmary. Gwarn is free to roam again. Storm finds it hard to contain his anger at the drow's apparent treachery, but Lorika attempts to rein him in. Coline, suspecting foul play from rather the wrong source, follows Harata to the source of the explosion... but what will the newcomers to the scene make of what they see?
Now, as Jessie and Cressa set off on their journey, Lorika and the Priestess initiate Lacine struggle to contain the damage of words spoken in haste and anger. As camera crews roll in, can they tone down the catastrophe so that it remains what it is - an explosion - and doesn't become what, with Lorika's revelations, it could be - a national incident? [FILE NOTES:The date is December 9th 2009. The weather is wet and cold after yesterday's rain, but otherwise clear. Grey clouds linger overhead.]

May 28th: For today's report, simply read Lorika's post here. It ties up the major loose ends from the day, but I would ask that anyone who feels it necessary (such as Meta dealing with the infirmary) to make their own tie-up post for the day. The date of the explosion was December 9th. From now until December 20th~ish you have free time to do whatever you like. THEN there will be planning for the Christmas Ball happening in the rp. I will be making several posts during this time to advance things (a transcript of Gwarn's trial, the events around Lacine's inauguration), and also roleplaying Zain with Shinichi and subsequently chronicling the rebuilding of the Temple and such. We'll see how this more flexible time frame goes. [ FILE NOTES:Timeframe has become flexible. Weather is generally dreary and slightly bitter throughout.]

July 15th:
December 10th - The day after the explosion:
All gas and water supplies to the Temple are turned off. A tank of water is filled to keep everyone going, but Oswald manages to decimate the supply in the evening. Baka...
In the morning, Coline has a nasty run-in with the other combatants at the Training Grounds... she just seems to get on Gloria, the combat Queen Bee's wick, doesn't she?
Many other acolytes spend the day searching for Panda's body - none to be found.
December 11th - Two days after the explosion:
A memorial service is held for Panda. In the end, it is interrupted by the arrival of two mermen, Shinichi and Zain, who profess to be ambassadors of the nearby mer city of Antium. ORLY, BOYS?
Meanwhile, three of the Order's youngsters - Evelyn, Bapp and Xeiashi - have a conversation. Evelyn and Xeiashi seem guilt-ridden about their involvement in Panda's demise, and Bapp suggests going on a quest to seek out the already-questing drow. Power-ranger style.
Lorika and Lacine ponder the fate of the guild's finances if they are to accomodate the mer ambassadors' needs. However, at that moment a wealthy "dancer" turns up on-site. Yokuan professes to be a good friend of the other catpeople, and suggests hosting a Christmas Ball both to raise funds and morale. Huh, well, it's worth a try...
December 13th - Four days after the explosion:
Lorika finally alerts the relevant authorities about Panda's demise. No reply is received this month.
December 14th - Five days after the explosion:
Five long, dirty, smelly days come to a close with the reinstallation of plumbing services to the Order. Hurray!
It is also decided that, after leaving the combatants such a long time without any guidance, Storm will take over as instructor in absence of any other option.
December 15th - Six days after the explosion:
After almost a week of going over plans and waiting for money transactions to go through, the restoration of the back of the Temple begins, along with some new additions funded by the philanthropist Yokuan.
Now maybe we can concentrate on other things...
December 17th - Eight days after the explosion:
An issue which no one had really wanted to deal with - the fate of the dangerous Gwarn comes to trial. Up until now, he has been confined to aiding the felids in their work... and it seems this is how things will continue...?
However, the commitment of Storm to caring for Gwarn and the need to keep this dangerous beast away from combat situations conflict. Therefore, Storm is subsequently discharged from his new duty as combat instructor, and the honour is instead transferred as a stop-gap to Jessie's star student - prior to Coline, anyway - Gloria. (Much to the horror of some, I'm sure.)
December 18th - Nine days after the explosion:
Lacine is finally inaugurated as a priestess - the first since the end of the war. It was unsure as to whether or not her eye colour would change, but to the surprise of all, it has! Congratulations, Lacine! This event is a symbol of hope for the future, and for the return of the Overseer's powers.
December 19th - Ten days after the explosion:
Lacine leads her first Overservice entirely solo. It is hoped that she will take strain off the High Priestess by conducting the majority of services from now on, aside from morning prayers and the Overservice. Leading this important service, however, was the final part of her inauguration.
Afterwards, Steff approaches her with some concerns about the conduct of her fellow combatants and the new instructors since Jessie has been gone...
December 19th - 23rd:
Lorika occupies herself with planning the Christmas Ball alongside Yokuan and Lacine. It promises to be a festival the likes of which the world has never seen, and Lorika even manages to contact the camera crews again about their efforts...
December 24th - The day of the ball:
In the morning, Gaia Action News arrives to cover the restoration efforts of the Order. Before the evening of the fundraiser has arrived, donations and pledges of support have flooded in from all over Gaia, leaving the Order with more money than it knows what to do with! We can be sure to have a fantastic turnout for the Ball! It's open to everyone!
[FILE NOTES:
This update covers everything that happens over a time span of around fifteen days.]
