Slowly but surely the Festival of Death plans move forward. House Malvici has made a very generous donation towards it, to ensure its success. There will be games and performances of various kinds spread out over the summer or early autumn.
I'm a Harlequin but I am also a bard; so why not combine it all and spread Death's word to as many corners of the Compact as we can? We'll start in Arx, because where would be more appropriate?
I am thankful to have so many talented generous people stepping up to take charge of things, as well. I know what I want, but getting there - well, I can't do it myself.

A few months back, there was a Fernman killing people in the Lowers. I haven't heard of a Strawman but I'm pretty sure they too would be very dangerous.
In general, people that are also plants, probably bad business.

Today, Legate Aureth and I discussed a matter of great importance. For a long time now, a mystery has haunted us. It has made us tear our hair, made worshippers leave hastily, mocked us endlessly, kept us up at night, made us awake screaming...'WHY!'
But no more. We shall stop this. We WILL solve this mystery and put an end to the suffering.
That foul smelling pew in the Shrine of the Queen of Endings and Beginnings - we WILL find out why it smells.

Spring! The weather today was marvellous. Snow melting, river running fast. Had a picnic outside of Arx on a beach with amazing company. A good, mostly lazy day.
The whole crew are getting more cheerful, knowing we'll be sailing a lot more. In between, my time will be dedicated much to the Queen.

I joined the Harlequins today. It was time, it really was.
I've already had a chance to help someone, even if in truth, I mostly just listened and offered some encouraging words. It doesn't have to be more than that, does it?

Lady Jennyva called me 'wise' today. That was a first!
Glad to see her back in Arx - we met at the Shrine of the Queen of Endings, like that first time we met. So much to talk about.

I will miss that miserable, angry, evil bird. I really will. One could never know what he would be doing and that was a thrill and entertainment.

Though there's been a few slow weeks - or is it months? - I've found that sometimes it's nice to just hang around the city and meet people in taverns and inns, or do the more small things. Maybe it's just winter getting to me. But I've had a lot to think about and it's not like I've been doing NOTHING. I've learned some amazing things. I've had adventures of another kind that involved a lot less stabbings.
I've certainly made some memories that will last my entire life. Some experiences that are mind blowing. Some meetings that are more etched into my mind than others.
I might be getting used to Arx and the winters. Though I am definitely looking forward to sailing south soon.

And there's a plan for a Festival of Death.

Planning a trip to the south. Got some trading to do and an island with a beach to visit. Will be nice to get away from the cold for a spell! And with good friends, to boot.
Anyone reading this, if you want something shipped to the southern islands or the Lyceum, let me know!

Someone did the best con ever on me. Though I'm not that surprised, the one who did it is brilliant.
I can't even return the favor. That SOMEONE is dead.

I see great potential in Joss! I take full credit for the ice down your shirt, though I admit he was very clever using ice instead of waiting for the snow. He will go so far, this one.

Relationship Note on Gianna
I'm not prone to feeling proud. It's not that I don't have any pride per se, it's just not... a big part of my life.
But today, I feel proud. I feel proud that I know Nightingale Gianna Whisper. I'm even more proud that she's trained me herself. I'm proud that I am the Mockingbird of the Bard's college, working for her and with her.
I like to bask in her glory, entirely selfishly - but I think she might forgive me.

I took it very seriously when someone stole my pants. They're reinforced leather pants of good quality and they were brand new. I was upset for several hours.

I'm told I'm in serious trouble.
And I don't even know how, why, where or what.
It's probably nothing. I mean, how bad can it be? Besides, I'm sure it'll work itself out. It always does, sometimes without me even having to do anything about it. Like that time when I woke up in a gutter and had no pants, but right THEN a really sweet lady walked right on by on her way to visit a sick friend, so she hurried me into her cart and I came along and she got me a pair of linen pants at her friends, and it proved she was looking for a ship to carry some goods into some dangerous waters and paid really well for it, so I lost my pants but made a really good earning on that trade run, I mean, sure, there were dangerous waters and all but all we ran into was a ship of pirates that were all poisoned by some turtle soup they'd eaten a day before, so we ended up helping THEM out and they were so thankful they gave us some of their loot, the loot proved to have been stolen off another vessel off of some down far south and we ran into THEM in the harbor we went to, and they got their items back - for free - but they were so thankful they gave us first dibs on a really good other trade deal BACK to Darkwater Watch.
Also, I did get my pants back when returning to Darkwater Watch, apparently the one that stole them had ended up stumbling as the pants were too long on him, he hit his head on the cobblestones and just died on the spot. My pants still had a letter in them adressed to me, so they found me and gave them back.
So, maybe it's a bit like that.

Pierced buttocks?! How did that happen! I sense some hilarious stories.
I'll make a donation to the Physicians in thanks for your good work. I've had reason to benefit from it myself a time or two.
Also, you people that jump off roofs, try to outrun angry bulls or stand up on your horse to see if you can balance while it moves ahead?
Why aren't you inviting me to come watch?!

Our song really took off, I'm pleased to say. I've heard it sung late at nights in many a tavern and even joined in a few times - it's funny when I do that and they don't know they're singing with one of the authors.
I've seen some hilarious stunts happening too, with only a few minor incidents. The Iron Guard DID step in and helped down an overjoyous young woman from a roof as she was going to jump into a cart of hay below - I thought that was a bit overzealous, I'm sure she would've been fine. I mean, the cart was over six feet wide and like nearly twelve feet long and there must've been oh, I don't know, at least a couple of feet of hay on there. Or manure. It was a bit hard to tell, it was quite dark.
I paid her fines, I mean, felt only right. I'm not sure what the fines were /for/ - I think it was something akin of 'unlawful use of roofs'. But I wasn't entirely sober myself, and the fines weren't that high, wasn't much to argue about. I did try to talk the Iron Guards into doing a race WITH that horse and cart around the block, to which they said they'd be happy to escort me to the Iron Jail to spend the night, to which I said I already had a place to stay for the night, thank you very much, and they said that they would let me stay there for free, to which I replied that I almost never pay for anywhere I sleep.
I believe I won the argument as they left us to wander onwards.
