The thrill I get out of this job is ridiculous. People aren't supposed to -like- doing paperwork and chasing down loose ends till all hours of the night.

I only hope that I am effective as well.

Relationship Note on Ann

I met this Princess at the Shrine of Vellichor. She is kind and also with the Scholars. I think we should get along well enough.

Just in case anyone else is inspired by Magpie's creative genius:

We want to keep the Bringers as FAR AWAY from the FUCKING PIT as possible.

Please do not try to put Bringer dust in the Pit.

I'm sure someone already thought of this, but I was sitting outside the graveyard enjoying a nice bit of stale bread and a free bowl of soup from the clinic (I'll return the bowl later) and I got to thinking about the Pit. If a Bringer is stabbed, they seem to turn into dust or something, right? Poof. It's really creepy. But what happens to a Bringer that falls into the Pit? What if we set up a lure... A Bringer-Lure, if you will... and turned the Pit into a Pit TRAP?

We could lay some fake ground over it, lure them on and wheeeeee, down they go! Maybe throw some shav on top to make sure they're good and buried?

How does one lure a Bringer though? Maybe find a princess and put her up on a stick all tied up and calling for help?

Might work.

I am hearing advertisements that there are free swords out there for people that are commoners. I am, in fact, a commoner. Who knew?!.. (Don't answer that.) I also don't have a sword (cough cough *Hana* cough). So. My quandry is this... do I go see Hana about a free sword? Do you think the sword she's making for me will end up being free? (I'm guessing not.) What do I do?!

Tomorrow, I shall seek out a weapon so that I too can look like one tough Bringer-slaying bad-ass.

(Also, Hana, if you're reading this I totally <3 you and please don't cancel my order because I still very much want my dagger/cutlass super combo)

Document the first:

1 twisted ankle
2 books
3 fine people to greet me upon my return to Redrain
4 shots of whisky
5 days to recover

No doubt, I will make use of them.

Shavs came out of the water. They're not human anymore.

What have they given themselves to?

Why?

Dear Me,

Today, I have decided to be especially pretty.

I need to believe he lost something, too, and it's making his heart hurt so it's difficult to breathe.

Logic dictates, if I truly cared for him, I would wish him nothing but joy.

Perhaps that comes in time.

For now, I am a terrible person.

Always,

Me

Relationship Note on Malena

My sister has been around, and said she is worried about me, after I had been hurt during the hunt for Bringers. However, she does understand that it is my duty, although she wants me to be up to my best before I become involved more. I've decided I will help with Scholarly investigations, and some Mercantile needs, for the time being. She has been focused on healing others as a Physician. I am happy for her, and that she is serving well the Compact and Velenosa. It's a difficult time to have family and siblings though, or any other people that are close. War does not make it easy at all.

Relationship Note on Brier

Finally! A woman taller than me. Within the first five minutes of meeting her we were killing corrupted Shavs together - she took them out with her fists. No weapons, her FIST. Over the swing of my own axes I swear I heard her break one of their jaws. I love Redrain's vassals.

I'll have to find her and buy her a whiskey or twenty when this impending doom business is all over and done with.

Relationship Note on Calypso

When I first met Calypso, it was in the Southport training center. She'd offered a spar, and I decided to take her on. I didn't realize she was a general. It was a tough fight, and I'm still convinced my victory was dumb luck. Which is why I'm probably the only victor that ever wanted a rematch when they've trained all the harder.

Today, I had asked to meet with her, and it was far more productive than I had expected. She asked me for details on the attack in the Lower Boroughs, and I obliged her. She asked me the questions, and appreciated my intel. I felt rather important for a few moments.

Eventually the real reason that I wanted to speak with her came up, and I asked how I could better serve the defense of the compact. After a lengthy conversation, I became an agent in the Ministry of Defense. I'm looking forward to serving with her.

Relationship Note on Valkieri

When the history of this fight against the Silence is someday written, Gemecitta's name should damned well be /celebrated/; Rubino and Zaffria have carried more than their fair portion of the burden, and now... now one more.

I didn't know Duke Valkieri Rubino that well; we tended to orbit the same people, but interacted ourselves only rarely. A sparring match, a dinner or two, occasional messengers. I kept telling myself that, sometime soon, I'd have more time and would sit down with him.

There isn't enough time in the world for everything we'd do, I suppose.

In the end, I knew him best through the opinions of those we both cared about: Cara, Vincere, Pietro. And all of them thought well of him. Even when they were at odds with him, even when they were cross with him, they loved him. Even though by all accounts he wasn't an easy man to get along with.

And he loved them in turn.

Whatever else I might say about Duke Valkieri, in the end, he loved and was loved by so many of those I care about.

I can't help but feel the world is poorer for his loss.
