Hello! No. Get me that other one. The one that the scary leathers lady! HELLO CLIVE!
Why? Stop running away. Yes. Write this down!
Look. Cane! Ha!
Right. First. Randoms - Flew again, yadda ya ya. Made a bit of a hole. I thinks we got things sorted out there.
Next. I found there's these stones they want to be next to each other, or can send each other flying away. I have an idea for them, but need to find someone that has the smarties to help sort out what they do. Only everyone keeps running away. Like you do!
You know you wouldn't need to sit down as much if you didn't keep running away. Fine. Yes. I'll untie you.
The pot landed inside my patrons house and they had seemed to like cleaning a lot. They would have made Zoya jealous with all the cleaning they were getting to do. I don't have anyway to control the direction that the pot goes, though I have sorted out that it goes in mostly a straight line, or an arc. a very high arc from my last set of calculations. Which is why its hard to track, though if I point it in a general direction before it takes off I can get a better idea of where its going to come back down. Maybe if I tie a thin rope to it?
Don't think I don't see you shaking your head at me. I know that I am way off from where this first started. Though just think! It could make all the difference. Yes, I am testing if I can get it to float. No. I won't say why.
There. All done. and you're untied. Say hi to the leathers lady eh?

It's amusing the things we find when we're not directly looking for them. Thankfully catching up with a friend send them looking a wildly different direction. I believe that I've got a handle on what needs to be set, where holes should be and how to control it.
Yes. I had my cane! There's witnesses even!
The cats were smiling to the madness and that Lady with the other one, they seemed a little off didn't they? Or was I completely distracted?
Scholar! Hello. Were did ya come from?
Reports. Sorry for waking the lowers, though happy to report it was found the beaches under the bridge. Pain to get to, was still in one piece. Which means we're getting better with the metals. Going to look at some jewelry, some of those metals take a hammering good. Might be what's needed.

Whoopsie.
In my interest to see what would happen I tried to tie three of the pots together. It was the most beautiful thing, up until I lost sight of them. From the sound that they make coming back down I can figure that at least one if not two came down somewhere near the Thrax and Valardin wards. It was not my intention to put a hole in someone's roof, and will be by shortly to look for them. I don't know where the third one landed.
If you spot a funny looking black pot that is still hissing please let me know.

Yes, I got distracted. I was supposed to be seeking a metal that would hold the heat for a longer period of time. In the process, I learned of how much pressure some metals can take, and what happens depending upon where their vents are placed.
I have taken up much of this time in figuring out which metal can hold the boiling pressure the longest before taking flight. The next step is to see if talking to the pots will make a difference in the direction that they go. Or if it will always be the same unknown variables. At least I've figured out how to make a hole or dent versus something that will bring the guard upon the house. However, in that venture. They have been well fed when they do show up. Though possibly bad for business.
The neighbors haven't been complaining much as of late.

I have this delivery that I need to make, then I can go find it.
Learned that more vents will be needed. Though without the vents and some hardened fins. It flies. Don't have any control on it. Though that shouldn't matter just yet!
Oh... Good, it looks to be going in the direction that I need to go for the delivery.
Eeep!

Scholar. Guards. Citizens of the Pravus ward. Princess Renata Pravus and additional guards that were having a relaxing smoke.
Horribly terrible of me to have done that!
..
But. DID YOU SEE IT? IT FLEW! ON PURPOSE EVEN!!!
For the other one.. Yes, I had my cane.
The hole. I did not expect the hole. And for that part I'm... Nope. Not Sorry. This is amazing!
I would not have been able to do this without the help of the young lad of Ripley. His forge was able to get hot enough to melt the metals which allowed me to add the fins. Like the arrows have. Flight!!!

Scholar. Yes, it's me Zakhar. Again...
I setup a little table in the garden for the Guard when they arrive. It only seemed right to offer them some soup, biscuits, and maybe something to drink. They have taken to simply showing up before any screams in their general direction. And tonight, they cheered me on as I took an extended amount of time to explain the primary of mathematics to them and how pressure can be an issue.
I had the fortune of being able to meet a gentleman by the name of Ripley who allowed me access to their forge to try making a stronger steel. I am happy to report that the steel is in fact stronger, and apparently better for flight. Which, again...Is not the option that we'd prefer in this design.
There would be too many roofs to have to fix.
However when flight was achieved the guards that were there with me then had to explain to the next shift of gaurds as to what had happened. Which meant that another lesson on mathematics and pressure was required.
I did not expect to be a teacher to so many in one night. And might want to start looking to teaching as my next profession if this is to continue.
Alas, I digress. The pot was found in the middle of a pond in the Lyceum ward with several of the Black Fox's patrons staring at the object. It was mostly in one piece. Made a heck of a crater upon impact.
I have an idea that if this doesn't work as the intended that perhaps my Patron would be interested as using it.

Redesign of the first pot, it didn't have a way to release the pressure! I have taken the design of a tea kettle and hammered the steel into a cylinder which then has a second chamber within. One for the fire, this should keep things contained and not able to be put out if the water boils over, another to hold the water with a vent, allowing for pressure to be released. Though I did not wish for all of the pressure to be released right away so I made the vent small. This would prove to be a good idea later, and I'm still curious to what occurred to cause the launch.
I thought that putting a small sliding door into the front of the pot would allow for ease of adding more wood to fuel the fire within. Scholar, this proved even more dangerous as the fires got hotter I had to find a glove to be able to open the door which allowed the fire within to jump out. I'm happy to report that my leathers did not catch fire and helped keep my knees safe, though one of the kits was very angry with me for a moment and would not come out from under the bushes in the garden for quite some time after that little flicker leaped out.
While I was fighting with the cat to come out of the bushes, I scratched myself on the bush, and had a mild panic about which bush it was that I have brushed against. It was in this moment that the second pot decided to make a very loud whistling which came to a sudden stop launching itself into the nights sky. Thankfully it didn't rain metal down like the first time, though I was visited by the guard again to verify what the neighbors described as a crazy old man screaming at a cat then a bush as something took off into the nights sky.
I am happy to report that the barrel was found mostly in one piece down by the beaches.
Going to attempt to make a stronger steel. The pot should not be flying.

Relationship Note on Orick
Scholar. I have taken to trying out some experiments and would like to apologize to the citizens of the city for the loud bang that echoed through the southern end of the uppers last night. At the very least I have not heard from any of the medics that have become close friends with me, or at least have shown me a kindness over the last few days. Pieces of my first experiment have been found littered about the city. I have not seen fires from these pieces, though the metal was still quite warm to the touch when found.
After a most interesting conversation with a scholar I took to shaping some metal into a crude pot with a tightened lid, then set a small fire underneath it. The idea was to see how long it would hold the heat. As I didn't want to melt the steel, I had placed a decent amount of water inside of the pot. I'm assuming that I fell asleep either due to too many leaves or from what the medics have been giving me in small amounts for the healing.
I awoke shortly before the pot took to flight, though was only able to push the pot over from the fire. It was making an interesting hissing noise, and I thought that maybe the tea was ready until I remembered that I wasn't making tea.
The bang that occurred thereafter was quite loud and my ears were still ringing when the guards showed up demanding entry to what they were sure was the shop being set a fire.
It took some convincing, though was finally able to put their minds at ease. I then took to the city to find said pot.
YES I TOOK MY CANE. I KNOW YOU'RE READING THIS.
I believe that I found pieces of the steel pot scattered throughout the city as far north as the market. I will need to find a stronger metal than the simple steel that I had on hand. As this would not do well for the project if one were to fall asleep in the process of heating their waters.
This will not do. A new metal will need to be found. And I shall need to stay awake.

Relationship Note on Lasha
In the briefest of moments a vision of the horizon was one mixed with both beauty and danger.
The seas set ablaze by ships clustered too close together in the heat of the battle that was raging on.
Both reds and oranges set atop of a pitch billowing black filling the view.
A spray of red, not from the sea, but from the decks upon which I stood.
Watching sailors dive for cover, believing safety to be found in the waters below versus to stay upon the upper panels and surrender.
A sharp pain brought me back to the moment.
The noises flooding back in, mistaking a scream for laughter...
or maybe that was me...
My strength to continue will never falter. Despite those around me that love and care for me.
I'm never in the right state of mind. My stubbornness..
Watching the horizon today, I was reminded of the beauty that is always around us.
From my view, a painting of deep dark blues lashing with white capped spray so strong that it was both felt and smelled from meters away. Washing away the scent of death merely inches away. Bodies lain atop another, the living diving for safety only to be greeted by another lashing. One of a bright and intense heat bringing colors only seen upon the best sunsets, or during war.
Today I was reminded of my love of this moment. The one that has kept me in this position for as long as I have been here. As I keep getting up. I keep coming back.
And I will fight to come back each time.
