Relationship Note on Victus

I'm hoping the Grayhopes will adopt me some day. It's lonely being the only Arterius in the city, I miss being a part of a family.

It drains a High Lord to be cooped up all day, scouring over plans and reading documents, and signing his name. It drains a High Lord of the Northlands even more. I think half my cousins made a concerted effort to get me out of the house today, and I really appreciate them for it. In even the darkest times, family is everything.

Relationship Note on Mayir

In case this was unclear, Mayir was _not_ volunteering himself to be fed to a kraken. He is _not_ kraken food and should be kept away from hungry krakens at all costs.

Hey! What am I? Kraken food?

As Assistant (to the) Deputy Minister for Refugee and Prodigal Affairs and as the Director of Marketing for the Murder of Crows and Highway Ribbery, I have a very important role to play in the Grayhopes!

We're often surprised by it ourselves.

That said, I _do_ agree that Magpie is a category all his own.

I don't have much to add seeing all these archives pile up on each other. Exciting day I can tell. But one thing I did notice that I think needs to be brought up: The Grayhopes are all over the fucking place. I was coming here to ask them to tone it down, but it's already such a fucking tangled web that I'm getting sticky just sitting here talking about it.

One that's Death's chosen
One that's acting Commander of the Knights of Solace
One that's a revered artist
One that keeps slammed his head into white journals (and often getting slammed back)
One that runs a bar in the Lower Boroughs
One that can smith alaricite
And one that's Magpie.


If you lot ever get tired of the lucrative erotica business, one could probably make a fortune just chronicling every little branching path that you've all taken over the years.

I put a severed head in my sister and her beloved's bed because I slept in the next room and they never stopped played 'vixens and serpents' at all hours of the night.

Relationship Note on Harlan

If you’re interested in procuring a bottle of...whatever this weird pink shit is, I’m sure Mae Grayhope has the hookup. As for me, while I will NOT be drinking mine, I’m not inclined to let it go just yet.

I do believe that I must make the acquaintance of Princess Serafine! Just in case my most darling cousin, Prince Kieran, gets any ideas about frogs and my bedroom. She seems to have fascinating insight on acts of retribution.

I woke up from a nap this afternoon with a head that felt like it was stuffed with bees made of iron; buzzing and heavy. I've left my shop in the capable hands of my assistant while I drown in tea and broth.

A cold always has the worst time but this is pretty awful. I feel completely undignified and very much non-pleasant both in mood, manner, and appearance. Beware and stay away, my dears.

I try my hardest to always be a positive force in things, life...the room, my bestest friends life. Sometimes the reality of it is....I am. I'm utterly perfect. The very best bestest friend of all.

You know who you are.

You are welcome.

Though I understand the gravity of the situation that surrounds the Compact, the bloodshed to come, lost lives to mourn, rebuilding to plan for; it bemuses me that some are very much intent on incessantly dredging up the war and disallowing others from living in the present. Yes, I am perfectly aware of the implications of three war fronts, the return of legends, and the work as well as vigilance that the looming war will demand of those waging it.

These may be the last few weeks of my life. Let me bloody enjoy them, let me laugh; let me enjoy good company. I have not forgotten what lies ahead - how could I?

Relationship Note on Nierzen

I notice you haven't addressed a damned thing I've said. You're just saying I'm wrong, without saying how, or why. I mean, am I supposed to be upset that the man who thinks the Nox'alfar worked for Brand thinks I can't understand the intensely stupid things he writes?

A prayer to Limerance:

I am a woman of duty.
I am daughter to a mother, broke an oath;
I am child to a father, remote and strange;
I am bastard, born of broken promises to an uncertain future;
I am ward of a man, who held me up;
I am sister to a dreamer with healing hands;
I am sister to a brother with a bold spear;
These are love, these are family, these were duty.
Then I become wife to a husband, who swore an oath
to Serve the Compact, to Serve the Twainfort;
A Prodigal who gave up his people to serve his family,
Whose people recognize the laws of men and god;
I am mother to a child, fierce and furious,
and my duties to him surpass my heart's duties all.
I am widow of a House and serve it loyally;
Protection to my liegemen, duty to my liege;
I am woman alone, but never alone,
wound around by friends and fealty, ties and loyalty.
I am wife again, written in contract,
Love and duty intertwined, a warder for my son
and a lover for my heart; new duties, new strengths,
I choose them all, but they are bindings -- of:
Loyalty
Family
Love
In faith, in contract.
I am Voice of my House, Princess of Bastion;
The trust of those, None Greater be, upon my heart.
Duty to my King, and Compact;
Protection to my liegemen, gathered in my hands,
and Honor to the House that claimed me, family all:
with legacy found in the new children I will bear,
the new heirs for my husband,
the new brothers and sisters for my boy.
Protection to my friends, sweet brothers and sisters,
cousins in strength, kin in honor;
Service to the Crown, the Compact, and the Future in every task,
Every scrap of knowledge I must hunt and protect.
Limerance has blessed me in love
In duty
and in burden chosen freely.
I love you, Lord of Oaths. May I always serve with all the trust of my heart, all the will of my soul, and all the strength of my words.
I pray that the darkness shall not touch me for my love is pure and my duty is clear.
These are my words.
My prayer.
My thanks.
Thank you.

Relationship Note on Nierzen

You said you were disappointed the Compact hadn't conquered them by arms. Which of course, means you were at least partly disappointed the Compact hadn't killed more Abandoned before forcing them to join (if any were still alive after they were done). The second half of that was some nonsense about how clearly the Compact was so incredibly clever it had tricked the Abandoned into being conquered without realizing it, but I've already been over that bullshit.

Was Nierzen the one who write the "Boy and His Spider" story? I'll admit I liked that one.
