----------
You referred to your ship as a "pink ship". Specifically. A pink ship.
I hope you can see my confusion, Princess.
----------
Sidenote to others: As a matter of fact, I will have the scholars write whatever I damn well please in this journal. It's my journal. You're the one specifically going to the depository and asking to read the White Pages of a common commoner. This is my place to vent after a long day in the laboratory, working away at solutions to problems that would confound the minds of lesser beings, quite possibly to the point of complete mental shutdown and failure. Good Gods, don't they know that? Don't they?
Sidenote sidenote: Prepare tests to test mental stress relative to mental shutdown. No, don't write that! Wait - no, write it - it's important. Write all of it. Every syllable preserved in time for Vellichor!

Let me run through some questions here.
Does the ship outmaneuver it's peers? Yes or no.
Does the ship blow other ships up in a quick fashion? Yes or no.
Does the ship handle well in rough conditions? Yes or no.
Does the ship have a well-maintained quality? Yes or no.
Answer half of these with yes and it doesn't matter how stupid of a color you painted it.

I have a pink flag that can be taken down. Ping shag rugs and a pink hammock.
I have not painted the boat pink.
The issue between me and Prince Fergus goes much deeper than pink, as he well knows.

As a self-proclaimed "man of fucking science" and studious scholar of societal norms, I have come to a consensus.
Pink is a stupid color for a ship. Not because it is a lesser color; no color is lesser than another, and it would take decades of very streamlined one-sided advertisement, marketing, and convincing by a large group of people with the single-minded idea of oppressing a group to make money to make a color be seen as lesser. I myself own a wonderful pair of spotted pink underwear and feel no shame in sharing that fact.
Pink is a stupid color because it makes you stand out on the water from across an entire Gods damned ocean, putting your entire crew at risk, and the Compact itself if the mission you're on is actually important to the world-ending crises that await us. Not to mention the inconclusive results concerning long-term tests of paint solubility in open ocean salt water. Your ship very well could rot away.
Good luck helping, Princess. Gods speed.

**Pink**
I looked away, no I blinked, and then there was this stick over the color pink.
Why is there such a stink over the color pink?
I dare say that I cannot think of why there is a stink over the color pink.
Is it a sort of pink kink that has made such a stink?
Oh why, oh why is there a pink stink kink?
Is there really to be a chink in armor over this pink stink?
Dar I think more about this pink stink kink?

It is a bit diffuclt to be a scholar when you have to read all the White Journals at times. Remember what you write is part of your legacy and memories that will carry through generations. This isn't to tell people what to write, but to be a bit mindful, otherwise we'll have some very confused descendants. Or amused! I like how many different people we have from so many different backgrounds.

Tides come and go, and yet we survive. Thrax has been busy with our ever powerful Highlord taking the reins and binding alliances to work together against the forces of the Gyre, the Abyss and others. It is heartening to see the power of Maelstrom rising using cooperation and unity versus division and mistrust, and I hope my fellow Thraxans see this too. But I've been thinking heavily on activities have been happening here in Arx and what that might pose beyond the illuminated boundaries of the Compact and its allies.
There are two laws which nature follows, always. The first is for every action, there is an equally powerful reaction. The second is you cannot create out of nothing, creation requires sacrifice.
What if for every prayer the Faith gives, for every gathering of the people for devotion and worship, there is an equal one given to which we of the Compact fight against? The other worry is that for all the focus we give currently to Thraxan ships and navies of the allies, what exactly are we taking power or blessings away from? Power is not without end, there is alway a cost.

I was going to argue that there is nothing stupid about sailing off to Maelstrom to protect the innocents there, regardless of the color of one's boat. Then I realized that is not true. There is plenty foolish about doing such and if one values their life above all things, it is downright foolish. It is still the right and the honorable thing to do.
The color of my boat, my gear and my weapons doesn't make me less of a warrior or less of a protector. If, I return alive, we can duel over whether putting up a pink flag and etc into my boat was dumb or not. I would love to duel in defense of the color pink and stand up against such a fine warrior as Prince Fergus or his chosen champion would be an honor.

Jokes? Who said anything about "jokes"?
I'm fairly certain everything that was written, was the voice of truth.
Ask Prince Darren.
Likewise, when Vellichor begins eating the most inane of entries? You'll fade with history. Don't climb on a high horse you have no place on.
