What about that story you were going to write? That had better be left to me -- in either sense of the phrase.

I am not going to write a will.

Do not mistake me. This is not a statement meant to inspire confidence or to speak of my own boldness should battle come to Arx.

I'm not going to write a will because if the invaders get to me, there probably won't be anyone left to take ownership of my things.

Oof, that got dark. Can we include a drawing of a dog or something to cheer readers up?

(included here is a bad drawing of what is probably meant to be a dog)

I know that this is a thing that is very much the fashion, but it does seem a waste to write my thoughts down like this when I would prefer to write them down... LIKE THIS!

ACT ONE

SCENE ONE

EVIL WIZARD: Aha! I shall kidnap yon princess and the king shall give the kingdom to me!

HEROIC KNIGHT: There are lots of princesses. This plan needs work.

Just then a DRAGON atttacks!

---

Did you duck? Do not lie, for I cannot hear you and as such your lies are for yourself! We both know that for a moment you were swept away into a world of true adventure, caught in a tapestry of imagination I wove on the loom of my boundless creativity! Such is the power of my one true passion, the theater!

Looms are for weaving, right? Don't publish this until I double check that.

Too many people are writing wills. I can understand it to be upsetting for people, so I thought I would share my own even though the only thing I am in danger of dying from is boredom or lack of breath when talking too much:

I leave my pink dress to my sister Reese on the condition that she pass them down to her daughter someday because she ought to have one that carries on her dimples and lovely soul.
I leave that one backpack I own to my sister Lou who probably gave it to me anyway and would use it more than I do. Not that I don't love it, I do! It has ribbons in it right now, I suppose Lou can fight Reese for them.
My love of the arts I leave to my darling niece who should come to love the theater as much as I do.
I leave my cheerful disposition to my cousin Gareth who will know how to make use of it.
My books ought to go to Leary House for there is someone there that will treasure them, even if most are about Princesses in peril.
Valor ought to be given to Michael Bisland so that he may never lose his edge, although he may lose a boot.
The solitary pink slipper I own should go to the Elbow of Kennex so he can have a matching set.
I leave the Black Rose Theater to the people of Arx even though I don't own it and someone will point out I can't give it away.
My laughter I leave to House Grayson so that they might not be so serious all the time.
And the rest of my things ought to be dispersed through the poorer populations, especially young girls who can make use of all of my frilly things.

I've probably forgotten something, so it is a good thing it will be years and years and years before this might be needed!

With so many leaving the city it feels a bit as if my family is losing important parts of itself.

May all you pieces of my heart stay safe, and return so that our family is reunited.

Arx will be waiting for you.

So many people making their wills...
It's almost scary.

If you need to talk, you know where to find me. Well, two options for it, at least.

Thank you for letting me know. I will let /you/ know, as I might.

Relationship Note on Apollis

I've already written my will in the blacks, but I'm happy to share what you'd get from me. All my plushies, candies, blankets, and pillows. In death, I will shower you with ALL THE SWEET THINGS. All of them.

It's even further into Spring, which means that it is going to likely rain a little bit more, but also be more cool than cold. I am thinking about working on some flower planting for the season.

I see a lot of food at various events. I should start with asking people about how to cook some of these things. I like to make a nice meal, but I also would like to learn to make even more.

So I get nothing. You all get fuck all too. If I die, burn all my shit and spread the ashes among my sisters.

I attended the Scholar's dinner, but I feel like I was barely there. I am distracted, of late, and it is not like me. I must pay more attention, regardless of what is going on in my personal life. Perhaps it is good that the Princess has given me a few days off to rest. It is sorely needed.

Relationship Note on Amarantha

You can't die! If you die then I die. However...since my kinsmen insist on leaving wills I will do my best to make this painless.

-My armor shall be returned to House Redrain to serve another fierce warrior of the North.
-Sentinel's Justice is willed to Ser Ectorion, so that it may continually be used as it was meant to.
-All of my clothes, jewelry, wealth, and incomes go to my sweet reflection, Amarantha, because I love her so.
-Princess Sparta, I leave to Echo because I know she will cherish her as much as I and they get along so well.
-To my dearest brother Apollis, I leave to you a warning. Even death will not keep me from watching over you.
-To Avaline, I leave Topaz. My favorite sword and longest, most adored ally. Use him well.

I've been more in touch with the Lycene part of my heritage in the past few months than I have in the past decade. It's breathtaking, wonderful, exhausting, delightful, a source of great joy, and, most of all, a lot like coming home.

I can't remember the last time I was so inspired and yet completely content to just -be-.

Renovations have begun on the building I purchased not far from the Academy. It hardly looks like anything yet, like it could become any number of things from here. I wonder how long it will take to look like what it's meant to be.

My painting "Making Advances" - featuring a rather spectacular duel between Caspian Wild and Prince Luca Grayson - has finally been delivered to it's new owner. I've passed a sizable amount of the silver from the sale to the Champion Caspian Wild, to pass on to the Champion's Guild (and to keep a bit for himself). It is my hope that all the Champions are well paid, even if they do not get selected for such high profile duels.

Relationship Note on Amarantha

So seldom am I left speechless but the power of your words rends my soul in two. The scholar has allowed me time to collect my thoughts. Your poem has drawn from me the very idea of 'good poem'. Your will leaves me with the feeling of 'don't die' and 'gimme your dog if you do die' and 'come on, I gave her to you'. Your poem on our mother leaves me with the thought 'that's almost nice'.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin

My will is in my black reflections. All of which, including that, I give Calaudrin Estardes and also Greenblood leave to read if I fall.

But not before then. It's better that way.

Back in Arx again. It feels like I've never been here before, and at the same time, almost like I've never left. It's as topsy turvy as I could imagine, but the people are very kind.
