Relationship Note on Rukhnis

SOMEONE stole all me left shoes, apart from the ones I was wearing. No names mentioned. It was not Rukhnis. She won them fair and square.

It may be that I am willing to pay to get them back.

The trouble with making so much food, like for the party, is the fear that there will be too much left over. Fortunately, some tall scary fucker gave me the great idea of cooking even more food, passing it around the Murder and the soup kitchens when the party was done. Seemed to be well received, and I don't feel like anything was wasted. Hand-pies keep well, and so does bread, and if you have cups or mugs or buckets, stew is easy enough to carry off.

I have cakes on order, now, and my business plans are going right along. Nothing is perfect however, and I'm very well aware that the world we live in? Far from that. I'll keep working hard and keep the Murder in semi-decent order, do my best to be the bringer of booze and joy (and cookies, that's a new one). With the turn out the other night, I gotta say: it was humbling in the extreme to have so many take the time to wish us well. And gifts! Holy tits, I have no idea what to do with it all.

The past few days have been such a horrid mess and I feel a lot of sympathy for those who feel like they need to turn to drugs and alcohol in order to manage their emotions.

But, honestly? As cheesy as this may sound.. friends are the best cure of all, Scholar.

Friends can come from all walks of life. Sometimes, you'll be pleasantly surprised how far some of them will go just to put a smile back onto your face, especially those you least expect it from.

And unlike my real parents, these friends did not abandon me the moment I showed weakness. The moment I no longer had use, the moment I became difficult.

In fact, in some cases.. I feel closer than ever to them in a way I don't think I ever have before.

Trust. I think that's the word for it.

Trust.

Corrigan, you suck at words but thank you for what you -did-. Thank you for the smoke, it helped the the edge off. Yardstick is the best dog, by the by.

Dycard, would I be overstepping if I called you my best friend? Thank you for the hug, I needed it more than I realised. Ladies of the Peerage, /please/ snatch this one up. You'll want for nothing, and he deserves that happiness.

Sirius, it still baffles me that you even want to spend time with me since I seem to use most of it wiping my snot off with some expensive cloth or another you hand me, but thank you for making me laugh when I needed it. Thank you for the kind words you shared.

Rinel, I don't think you needed to apologise for anything, but you still did. That was very big of you. Thank you, and I am sorry too for getting so mad back then.

Scholar. Does this mean I no longer have to be alone?

I won something at Tanith's and Raymesin's reception. It was pure luck, as I only did as well as I did by following in Corrigan's wake - it's amazing how willing people are to talk when they want somebody else to lose.

Speaking of the Confessor, I should probably return his badge.

So, there I was, yeah? I know, I know. I know - you know - that I was there, okay? But, THERE I WAS:

In the den of snakes, surrounded by so much gold and wealth, that many in the Lowers would fall down and CRY! Yet I, yes, I, Ravna, that is I. Me. I, did only find the greatest, most glorious treasure in all of the pit! Yes. I did, even, and I even - yes, I, Ravna - did defeat those snakes.

...What do you mean 'getting them drunk' does not count? It absolutely counts. Do you know how many guards have lost their jobs to falling asleep after drinking too much? Well, yes, I know - you know, I know you wouldn't know about that but, come now.

Just wandered into Cufre Harrow's shop in the Lowers, on a whim, and she has these amazing beads for sale, made of glass, skulls and flames and really lovely leather bracelets that you can then attach these beads too for a collection! I love it, you should go check them out to, you who reads my white. Furthermore, some VERY nice jewelry in the other part of the shop, in semiprecious metals.

From Tanith and Raymesin's very fine party I have learned that it is, evidently, a thing horrifying beyond all human endurance to put one's hand through a hole in a box full of what are almost certainly earthworms and keep it there for any measurable length of time. This being the case, however, I have obtained a nice sum of money which can be put towards good causes which I have in mind.

.. I am not at all sure about these shoes, though.

Please don't ask me anything about the party. After the earthworms came out, I forgot most everything.

Dammit, -where- is my basket?

Relationship Note on Delilah

I actually wrote about this some time ago.

Language is the first magic.

The magic that everyone can have. The magic that is accessible to all who will learn it.

And it is tremendously powerful.

Had a teacher leave on me suddenly, traveled home to help the family. Don't blame them in the least, but I had to make up their classes and I'm not the best at what they do.

Still, we run the school for a reason, and it' snot to let the orphans go without learning when it ain't convenient for us.

Though we did not win, it was quite the exercise and very enjoyable. I look forward to the Ball.

You honestly have the best towers in the entire Oathlands. They deserve to be in a book somewhere. Has anyone put them in a book yet?

I believe I will hunt down this mysterious horned horse painter...

And ask them some very pointed questions! What was their name again...?

There is a woman that lived up in the north just in the borders of Stormwall. I had to arrest her and I think that weighs a little heavy on my shoulders but I had to do it and so I did. She was responsible for knowingly fueling a curse that was killing men, women, and children in village near a bog. She attempted to murder Lady Mikani in front of us and attempted to get me to help strengthen the curse. She then threatened the lives of anyone who stumbles on the bog after the Spirits have been placated. As such, I had to arrest her and handed her over to the Inquisition to be tried and punished. I somehow doubt she will be found innocent but I hope Death takes her into her embrace if that is her fate. After the towns people makes amends with the Spirit of the Bog it will be forbidden for any non-shaman to go there, the people will be relocated to Stormwall where they will hopefully live in peace, and just as hopefully will learn a lesson in not accusing people of blood magic. For now the place will be known as Clearwater Swamp but that name may slightly alter as the Spirit said it wanted it to be a sacred space. This may very well be a newly discovered Grove.

There was an orphanage that I visited... the children had killed their caretakers, murdered one in ritual sacrifice, and now they have all run off somewhere into the cold winter. I did a ritual of placation with Merek's help and now I think the lands that were poisoned might get back to normal.

Met a famous sailor today, Marquis Dio Seranceni, I think this guy's my idol, he's got his own boat, tough crew, hot first mate. He offered me some work, and I think I'll probably take him up on it. Later I met up with that new friend and her dog at a bar and she bought me a drink and read me this suggestive book about cooking. It was really funny, she thinks I could write stuff like that. I'm better at speaking my flirty words than writing them down though.

So good to get back to my family, saw my sister Acacia at the Culler family dinner. Torian's the man in charge now, which I think is good for us, he's got a good head on him. Met this beautiful woman with a great pet dog, obsessed with food, I met a fellow sailor named Drifa, mostly been hanging out on the docks and getting familiar with the familys ships and their crews, hopefully I'll captain one some day.

Relationship Note on Magpie

I never realized that we have so much in common. It's interesting what you learn from someone when you just sit down, shut up, and listen. I feel a connection with him now. It's nice knowing someone I can truly relate to.

Relationship Note on Kaia

From the Journal of Brenlin, Aide-de-Camp to Lady Miranda Mazetti...

(In a block and precise script)

For a minute there, I thought I might have to sneak out of Arx and come up with a new identity...

Boy, I was lucky this time!
