Relationship Note on Mae

Let it be known that upon her death, a memorial shall be built in honour of my sister, where all of her artwork, especially the artwork, shall be exposed for the world to see.

The only way for Mae to avoid such is to change her will. Or not die.

Relationship Note on Roxana

I wear white. I wear red. I do not wear pink.

Not even once.

Roxana's dresses will be used for curtains in Iris' room when she's old enough for her own. Unless Idris likes pink then they're his. Who am I to set gender expectations for my kids?

I believe all the previous people writing wills, until this latest spurt, were those going on the maiden voyage of the Carlotta. I mean, it's smart. It's a boat. It /could/ sink, but I hope it doesn't. Because, for personal reasons, I really, really want to see the maiden voyage of the Carlotta to be successful. I mean, really, what explorer /wouldn't/ want an OCEAN VOYAGING VESSAL be successful?

I have the Eventide to sail to again, and the cogs just can't cut it. I know this from experience. I've tried. They don't hack the storms, and don't have enough storage for supplies. We lost a ship and barely made it home. There's a hidden continent to find people. HIDDEN CONTINENT!

So, I'm glad people are setting wills, but please be safe, and don't sink!

Fervently praying to Mangatta the boat and the people in it make it.

Is Arx set on doing the "last will and testament" thing again? Really?

Okay, here we go...

I wrote a very long letter, to my friends, to my loved ones, to my family. I listed out, item by item, everything I owned, and to whom it should go to. I submitted it to the blacks. But now as I see talk of wills reappearing in the whites, and as I asked the scholars to pull my own from the archives, I have to wonder what I was doing. What was the point of all that? To make myself cry? To make others cry? I don't know. I don't really understand.

So, I want to make things simple. Should I die, everything goes to Itzal. There's a safe place I put stuff - Magpie has a key. There's some letters in there, along with a lot of junk. Do as you wish with all of it, baby brother (though my recommendation is to burn it, especially the artwork).

Signed and made official,
<3 MAE CULLER <3

PS, Sorry, Itzal!

Relationship Note on Cullen

I read your latest journal entry and my heart skipped a beat -- but, not in a good way.

It seems like every few months the people of Arx get fatalistic and decide they need to write up wills.

So, once again, here is mine:

All my stuff in my rooms in Arx and Granato goes to Lucy. She can figure out where to throw it.

The Red Bargain goes to my quartermaster Serrano, so long as he isn't a dick about it and keeps on our new first mate, Presunto. I'd suggest he make sea artist Bayonne his new quartermaster, but that's up to him. Keep Culatello as a bos'n, because that's the best place to keep an eye on him.

Also, scrap all of that because if I die at sea I promise you Mangata will spit me back up eventually.

I dreamt I was in a vast garden with fagrant flowers all around; but when I tried to touch their petals they burst into flames. Every flower I touched burned to ash before my eyes.

This is to serve as my last Will and Testament unless amended in a later entry in the whites, should I happen upon an early demise.

All of my money, writs, personal effects - all are to go to the head of House Greenmarch, without exception.

My black journals are to be opened to Marquis Marius Greenmarch, Marquessa Simone Greenmarch, and Archscholar Bianca Wyrmguard.

Laric? Leaving his office for more than bank runs?

That is a dream I dare not pin my hopes to.

Relationship Note on Mirari

I had to move my bench. I couldn't keep it under the window. The best I could do was turn it, but at least I can sit down without-

I would be honored by the trust that Laric has placed in me by asking Gareth and I to serve as High Inquisitor in the absence of himself and Alistair, but I am personally certain that he did it specifically in vengeance for some undisclosed sin of mine.

His Majesty's Inquisition stands ready to serve. We will hunt down the enemies of the Crown no matter who stands at the helm.

Who knows? Perhaps if we manage to be efficient in his absence, Laric will, in future, leave his office for longer than 18 minute intervals (I've timed him, it's how long it takes him to go to the bank and return).

Relationship Note on Cassius

Three years and five months, I've had this blade, this lovely dagger you gave me with the expectation that I would learn how to use it. Three years and five months, I have kept this blade without once bothering with lessons despite the numerous times I carried it with me as we ventured off somewhere awful.

Today, I made some honest effort to learn how to hold it, how to swing and stab and not be utterly useless should I ever have cause to draw the thing. I still mean to never find reason, but I do feel some odd sort of ease at finally making good. I think you would have been pleased, to some small degree, with both myself and my instructor, though he tells me I ought to find another if I mean to be at all proficient with its use.

Still, it's a start. Long overdue.

You can just -ask- me for a hug you know. Or not. And just hug me in public like a normal person instead of in the middle of supply negotiations.

Relationship Note on Percephon

I think we both know the answer to that already, my friend. For both of us.But which is more useful, really, intelligence or wisdom?

I am afflicted with an addiction of curiosity. Whether because of a justifiable need to learn during those long days spend indoors or as an act of deliberate rebellion. No matter the motivation, I discovered that the addiction to pursue information - knowledge in all forms - relieved more than the just the physical pain of being ill. Soothed the emotional strain of being a constant disappointment. It provided purpose. Stimulated a mind that would have gone fallow and useless otherwise. Allowed me to felt free of the loneliness, discouragement, boredom. But because life is full of these conditions that prompt these kinds of feelings, I resort more and more often to my addiction. I wonder, when my limits present themselves -- will I be self-aware enough to resist or abstain on my own?

I love it. I really love it.

This bow is far lovelier than I could have imagined it might be. And she handles beautifully in my hand. I tried her out in his shop, and afterwards, I went out into the woods to test her out a little more.

I will have to make sure he gets business from anyone who wishes a new weapon from the family!
