I ran into my cousin today, but only for a moment. I'm going to make him laugh one day. No one should be that grim and resolved all the time. It can't be healthy. Maybe there's a law about that?
No, I'm not talking about you, cousin. I'm talking about the other one!

Relationship Note on Astraea
As I have been thusly banned from publishing my poem on Renta by my beloved twin, I am tempted to challenge her to another duel.
I should have challenged her for not attending the debate on twins with me. And for forcing me to buy Renta another birthday peasant. She's what fifty now? How many presents does one woman need to hoard?
Because I am petty, I will offer a snippet of my now discarded poem.
My hands ache, longing as I do to carve
her story into stone!--for she is beauty
and horror, at ease in this imperfect form:
a face divine; a body lost to damnation.

Relationship Note on Astraea
Since everyone's writing wills,
If I die all my clothes, jewelry, and Tragedy--don't you dare call him creepy--go to you Astraea.
Everything actually. Just take it all. We're the same person so it makes sense.

That night was my becoming.
I drank from the depths of truth.
"What comes, what goes--
it's seldom known. If silent,
girl, you're good as bones!"
All I'd ever been was silence,
yet never, never had my heart
so longed to down as then--
suspended in sleep. Breathless
in the dark waters! Infinite,
eternal in my ignorance of days!
I--a child, anchored by origin;
a footstep on the sands of time.
The ocean's scribe.

Relationship Note on Cadenza
My dearest friend Cadenza. With war on the horizon, I admit I worry for her safety. I have come to see her as family and I tend to be protective of my family. I hope she sticks to her mission and doesn't try to perform unnecessary heroics. It would be a large blow to the world if she gets herself killed.

What a dizzying whirl the past couple of days have been since returning to Arx! Amazing how much of a difference time can make...some, I recognized. Most I did not. While having an eye to renewing old friendships, I have mainly worked on cultivating ones, and have been quite fortunate in meeting so many worth knowing. Some, naturally, have made a stronger impression than others, but it is good to see our Redrain kin as they should be - hearty, healthy, and fun to be around.

Flames and Steel (Week 5)
Each time I write here, I note that it is one week closer to the time where I shall be fighting in a war. I work on preparing my mind and body for this war to come but I worry about my friends that shall be in combat. We all have our duties we must perform and I can not be at their sides to protect them. The best I can do is make sure they are as prepared as they can be.
All the troops are ready. I am ready. I just await the call for war. I have been working on discovering what I can about myself. The next step in it all requires me to meet with a Shaman. I am not sure I know how I feel about this, but hopefully it will be enlightening.

Relationship Note on Joscelin
I...fifth? Sixth? What others have said about our gifted artist and Guildmaster. I treasure my silver disk earrings like none of my other possessions. I will not be traveling anywhere for this upcoming war, that I am aware of, but I expect to be wearing those very earrings when I go to the wheel. They come with me, dammit. I'd throw more silver at her, but she'd throw it back and she's got better aim that one might expect.

Add me to the chorus. You work is brilliant and your leadership of the Crafter's Guild has been excellent.
There is a reason that I have been asking to be your patron every month for the past couple of years.

When I die, Princess Serafine Velenosa can do what she likes with my belongings.
If she can't have them, then they should go back to my folks.

Is it praise Josie day?
I hear she makes the best scones. I do not really know how true this might be, as every time we talk about sitting together for tea and scones something happens and we do not. So, I have to take the word of others on that.
However, I do know her talent with jewels, and often wear at least one example if not many of such. One of my current absolute favorite pieces is by her and I cherish it, not only because of how insanely beautiful it is..... but also because of who gifted it to me.
Thank you, Josie, for sharing your artistic talent with us.
I still want a scone, dammit.

All I want is a good night's sleep and to stop being paranoid.
Is it really too much to ask?
I sustain myself on alcohol and spite and reluctance lately.
I'm looking forward to going home to Southport and spending time with my lads and ladies. Even if the city's crawling with fleas right now. Stupid things get everywhere and make me twitch. Even when there's none you still have that sensation they're with you.
