I shall certainly sleep a little easier now that the hardest project is done.

I need a couple of quality gemstones. Does anyone know where I could possibly find a duskstone? Or a dawnstone? Hmm. ( Oh wait, Scholar. No, just stop writing. I'm being flip, yes. No, I certainly don't expect anyone to simply give any to me. Good grief --)

I'm real proud of Cora. I'm proud to have fought by her side. She deserves it.

Gotta hand it to the High Lord Victus too. Those lights were something worth seeing!

You should make broadsheets of all that, individually. People can post whichever one they like on their wall as a motivational saying. Perhaps have it be accompanied by dramatic scenery, or soaring birds, or winning a competition, all framed in black.

A good birthday. I can't complain.

Definitely better than last year's.

Oh my goodness, I need to stop getting my Bs and Ps mixed up. I thought you wrote 'nipples'! Ha!

I made that pun months ago regarding Mistress Petal. Work on it.

Relationship Note on Coraline

You are one of the strongest people I know.
You are one of the bravest people I know.
I am really glad we met and I tell everyone how amazing you are.
Your outlook on life is exceptional.
You make a bigger impact than you realize.
I appreciate our friendship.
Your inside is even more beautiful than your outside.
You inspire me.
I am a better person because of you.
Nothing can stop you.
I hope you are proud of yourself, because I am!

Sometimes we have to revel in the pointless and the pedantic.

I'm starting to think I'm somehow the only woman in Arx who grew up wearing pockets.

It's a garment that you wear around your waist, under your clothes, with big, quilted pockets. It's designed to distribute weight properly, so you can put some really heavy stuff in there. Then you access them through small openings in the seams of skirts.

I thought everyone wore them. How on earth do you ladies get by without pockets?

Relationship Note on Oliver

Well. We agree on you being a stupid fucking stubborn idiot, which I suppose is a start. You make it hard to dislike you, which is difficult for me to admit. I will have to collect my thoughts on the rest to record later.

Just remember that I like my gift baskets in the form of handsome, somewhat older widowers.

Relationship Note on Joscelin

Date: Feb 1009

Dearest Scholars,

Rather than my adoptive grandparents I am writing this letter for the libraries directly, as it should be well known.

Guildmaster Joscelin is a very kind woman. She sent me some silver as a gift. When I said I could pay it back she insisted that it is a gift not to be paid back. That is quite hard to deal with for me. I will have to work on a lovely gift for her once I have saved enough silver. I would like to make her something very nice.

She also arranged a loan of resources for me to obtain a shop. She assured me it was not a tribulation upon her time and that was part of what the Crafters Guild is for. I hope to pay it back as soon as I can.

With love,
Sheena

Beloved Adoptive Grandparents,

When I set sail to Arx at your bidding, as I would have simply preferred to stay with you guys where it is safe and comfortable, I did not think I would find it easy to be in Arx. I was not proven wrong on this. There are so many people! Some have this weird thing of wanting to be spoken to informally. I don't know how to handle this. Some are so friendly it is scary.

It is not all bad. I met the Guildmaster of the Crafters Guild. She is a kind person. I also met my patron, Baron Edward. You guys already knew I had planned on asking him to take me into his household, he did. I am pleased to say. I am his protege now. I also talked to My Lord Marquis Fairen about potentially doing some work for him. He seems inclined to help me, if possible.

Guildmaster Joscelin is a very generous person! She sent me some silver as a gift. It was far too much but I was able to get far more supplies than I would have otherwise. She also agreed to give me a loan. I was able to buy a building that just needs a little fixing up to be suitable. IT has space for me to work in and a space to live, if I need it.

I better finish this letter off now. I still need to write a second copy for the libraries.

With love,
Sheena

Today could not POSSIBLY get any better. It just couldn't. Accomplishment, triumph, and above all that, winning a very special boon from someone who likely regrets deeply granting it! I'm floating on air and I'm not coming down!

I put the posters up around the city, but I should put one in my journals, too, because people love reading these things.

Buy tickets for the Lowers Lottery!

* * *

YOU WANT TO BE RICH?

Great! Me, too! But lucky for you, you have a surefire way to luck into the big winnings! That's right! All the silver you can imagine (or at least eighty percent of what we collect, whichever is less) can be yours if Gild favors you in the LOWERS LOTTERY!

Here is how it works! You pick four numbers between one and four! You pay us 200 silver! (Or 200 silver times how many tickets you buy.) And if YOUR FOUR NUMBERS come up in a row in our GRAND DRAWING, then you hit it big! There's nothing to it! Just a few numbers and a lot of luck!

LOWERS LOTTERY: Big money for you, no refunds from us!

The monthly skirt and gown night is tonight. I hope to see a bunch of gossipy women in Of Works Obscura. There will be booze, nibbles and a warm fire to help keep us all cozy.

I'm taking harp lessons.

Its an incredibly long story. If anyone knows of a music teacher who likes harp lessons and long stories though, I'll need one soon enough. I've only secured a month or so of lessons so far.

Relationship Note on Christine

I was reading some journals, just to check a bit what was going on... And you can't believe what I found out...
There is barely any mention of me in the journals lately!
I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing, but I think I should organize something, or make something, or do something big enough to change it.

Please note that the scholars may take some time preparing your journal for others to read.

Leave blank if this journal is not a relationship
