A pair of worker mice scurried through the portal to the corkboard on the Magic Isle, dragging a most important looking parchment with them. After much climbing, the mice tacked the parchment to the corkboard.
Once their mission was complete, the worker mice scurried back through the portal. Upon their return home, they would receive an extra ration of cheese for a task well done.

Mystery Box contents: 5k silver, candy, and a Mage Gem. New item that allows user to cast a one time use Immolation or Nether Ray spell. Acts just like an EF gem but with one of the mage spells. Also good until end of next cycle.
It had been a strange day at work for Bailey. The after effects of two hard fought duels at the All Ranks Tournament stuck with him even after a good night’s sleep, although thankfully it had shifted from him speaking only in Fae, to him speaking only in Portuguese. Because of that, though, Bailey had been forced to utilize Andressa as his translator as he discussed the latest trends in women’s wear for the winter season.
Sometime between his lunch break and the end of the work day, Bailey made it over to the corkboards where dueling news was posted. He couldn’t help but smile when he saw the All Ranks Tournament results, even as a pang of regret struck him. He had been forced to leave early; it was hard to interact with the public when you were speaking a language none of them understood. There would be time later to celebrate, and to thank those who had helped him make it home safely that night. For now, a brief message would suffice.
Unfortunately, he had brought no paper with him, just a small stack of business cards to hand out in case he ran into folks interested in what he did for a living. He flipped one over, hiding the L.D. 50 logo and his personal details from view, and began writing on the back. When he first caught himself writing in Portuguese, he stopped, and started to scratch it out, but he soon realized the Common words he wanted still wouldn’t come to him. With an exasperated sigh, he finished his message and pinned it to the board. Hopefully he got his sentiment across, even if the precise words weren’t immediately understandable.

Eden,
Parabéns por vencer o torneio!
B.R.
((apologies if I've butchered the Portuguese!))
It's the disease of the age
It's the disease that we crave
Alone at the end of the rave
We catch the last bus home
