It's been a very busy past view days. Starting with the plague monks. Sadly, I was not around to really witness their destruction. From what I heard it took most of the leaders to deal with the problem. Ah well! Maybe I will be around the next time? Well, I honestly hope their won't be a next time.
I guess everyone was tired after such an event. So the next major event was the weekend of no combat. Yes, it was a very quiet two days indeed, not that I was upset about that. Such a nice break from hearing about so and so complaining about someone's "surprise" attack. Or having to hear about leaders attacking other leaders through the walls or other acts of cowardice.
After, the peaceful event ended with a lovely masked ball. I attended with the cute office kitty Moon! Ah, we were the best looking pair at the dance.
Aside from that, I want to plan a few things with the mer, I want to hold a story telling, with a few dances. Mmhmm... But it has been a while. That last time I performed dance was in the harem. Hehehe, then there was that dance contest I snuck out to. Think I got third place in that?
I also want to try to work on a few nice mer stories. Mmmhm... maybe a creative story about Oceanus?
Ah well! I'll finish working on dance later... time or a little... fun time!
After so many weeks I have finally returned to the waters. I find myself going back each night... long after the raids have died down and the last idiot has tried to rob the office's empty till. Another nice time... late in the afternoon. Ah, something about the feel of the sun on one's skin.... just amazing.
Aside from that, it seems my scales will remain an icy shade. I wonder if they will ever darken and turn blue? Perhaps it's the sun... so odd, the same thing that gives my skin a rich shade is turning my scales a soft white. I could try to spend even more time in deeper waters. I am sure my hair would darken an my hair would lose the odd shades and return to black. My figure seems to be... well... I've notice myself become curvier. Wonder if this means another season... but I suppose it will continue to happen till I have offspring... which won't be any time soon!
I've also started to refill my healing spells. Another goal of mine... to learn how to fight. I think I've waited long enough. Why? Mainly to help with the raids. I have no plans on trying to go out and pick silly fights. I still don't see the point in that. Only bit of bad news seems to be a very bad food shortage. Makes me wonder... what's behind it.
It's been a busy day... and I actually wrote up an article for the paper... but...
But Thadeus came across a rather nasty little rumor. Something that could spell trouble for the city of Ireem. I really don't want to point fingers... or cause any real trouble, so I came up with a way to warn the city. I've got a news article set for print soon. It is somewhat of a tall tale. There is no ship... but the plague is very real. I do hope the people of Ireem can seek out a good priced antidote or a good who alchemist will make them one.
As for the truth about who is planning to spread the real plague... I dare not even write about. Really don't want anyone to know. I can't go against that alliance -- but I can try to warn enough people in an off handed manner.
I've returned... but I don't really plan to do much. It's odd, in a way it feels like my first day in the city. When I first came to Ireem I really made no attempt to talk to anyone. I was dead set on just... being by myself. Just feels like I've gone back to those days... Because I have no plans on getting close to anyone new... What's the point?
Maybe once I resettled I'll go back to writing or painting. Yes, just something fun to help me relax. One this is clear, I have no plans what soever to return to the palace. Not after what I heard shouted across the sands by one of the royals. I've long sense lost my healing spells... so working in or during the raids is a no. Going to focus on alchemy a bit. I'll stop by when the room is empty... so I won't be bothered by idle chatter.
I can't say it feels that good to be back. The trip away was just that... amazing. Oh well, it doesn't feel bad being back either. Lets hope that part doesn't change. Might have to make a better effort to avoid the village idiots of Ireem.
It's fall... and once again my tresses are starting to darken. The rich tan, soft teals and lavender has faded, replaced by darker brown, berry pink, rich aqua, and slight purple tips. They have grown long again. So, until I can find another spell to change my hair back, I suppose I will let it stay this way.
Ah, fall in Ireem doesn't seem all that different. I don't even know why I am calling it "fall" in the first place. Ah well... back on the far Island of Nippon, I would have dressed in my finest kimono. A lot of fall festivals occur to celebrate the changing of the leaves. Ah, I kinda mess them... as there is no chance of such events here. Can't celebrate the changing of the leaves when there are barely trees around...
I almost feel like taking another short trip away from Ireem... maybe longer. Maybe I should return to Nippon. See what has become of everyone I used to know. I would love to find a kimono with a falling leaf print. Then, when I wear it I can be reminded of the falling leaves... and not the burning sun above.
Zombies arose from the sands earlier... their rotting flesh filled the air... They carried with them nasty virus, far worse then the one that orientates from the Dark Knights. That axe... the one I used to raid that one time, I ended up using it. I broke my promise... I swore I would never fight again. I managed to kill just three zombies... I "killed two others", well, the died soon after biting me. So yeah, I ended up getting that nasty zombie virus. Thank heavens it didn't turn me into one! Blah... not only that, but I swear I saw an actual ghost... uhh, really don't want to write about that...
Not only that... I was accidentally released from Kito's protection when I took a sharp hit from someone's blade....I collapsed once... but covered thanks to Daisy's help. Sometime later I returned to the battle field... but didn't stay to see the end.
Once I had my fill of zombie slaying that eve, I took refuge to heal and rest. It's a good thing I had a spare herbal potion. Someone tried to pass on that nasty bug, and I got bitten by a rat who was chasing some dumb palace bimbo. But it seemed taking the potion has given me some type of immunity.
Just so... tired. I barely managed to write that news paper article about the attack. Blah... I just hope I will be able to spend the rest of this week recovering. Even though I am cured of the Virus, I still feel ill... and I should probably return to Kito's protection.
Ugh... think I have had enough of zombies and ghosts...
_____________________________
It had been yet another quiet day... well at least for me. The raids have heated up once again. There have been a few events and such. I think there was one held by the new arena holder... meh, I was not able to attend. Would have been a great time for me to work on capturing moving images with my drawings... ah well, there should be more events in the future. Hopefully I will able able to make one...
I took the time to get some cleaning in. Burned the rest of a few old keepsakes and such. There's no use in hanging on to things to remind me of a confused time in my life... of those people I shouldn't have let into my lift to begin with. With those things gone, the room feels lighter. I can't really explain why... but it's as if another weight has been lifted form my shoulders. Mmmm... wonder if I should keep that odd stand in the corner. Hah -- or tease Kito into using it.
Aside from dull chores... there was nothing that really warranted my attention... once the office cats were feed I decided to work on a few dance moves. I even pulled out a lovely hand made corset I got from a recent trip away from Ireem. Lovely detail... ah, and maidens from the north do know how to make a lovely pair of silk stockings. Hah, the odd things I do when no one else is watching. Well, I didn't see anyone around. It's a really small office -- not many places to hide.
Today is another day. Maybe I should make myself useful by venturing outside of the office for a bit? I need to find more mer stuff to write about. Mmhmm... maybe a feature of our mer Kingy Queeny Daisy! Yeah... Might as well work on more dance moves to.
