Do not drink to excess, and spin yourself on a stool in competition with others to see who could outlast the other participants. It ends poorly for all involved, drinkers and observers.

I recently put out a request for writing partners. It was to meet new people in which I might not have reason to meet. You can only run into people by chance when they wish to be met by chance and put themselves in a position to do so. So it was those who lock themselves away in their offices or the archives that I wished to hear from, and I was not disappointed! I look forward to the missives, to read the opinions and experiences of another on the pages. I must say it is one of the better ideas I have had in a long time, and I can not wait to read the next.

I became a stranger's good luck charm the other day, it was one of my firsts since returning to the city and I found it a very entertaining position to be placed within. He even won, so there is something to be said about my abilities. And his, I suppose, since it was a sparring match. We can equally take credit for it.

I am still searching for a patron that would embrace my skills and strengthen those that I do not possess with their own. It can be very difficult in picking an appropriate patron, and there are many things to consider in the selection process. Do you get along? Do your values and virtues align? Do they have your best interest at heart? Will they be able to give you the time you may require or are they spread out with their own projects? Will they invite you into those projects so you might make a difference, and will they show an interest in your own? It takes time.

I ventured somewhere I would never usually go and was not disappointed in the person I met while I was there. We spoke about traditional weapons, the expectations placed upon them, and why the axe is superior. I don't wield any weapons, so I can not say for certain if the axe is better than the sword or if the dagger is better than the spear, but I can say that a weapon in the hands of someone untrained is as dangerous as if they held no weapon at all and one should always use the weapon they are comfortable with rather than the weapon that is expected of them.

I met a woman the other day who was a traveler of sorts. Not for enjoyment but for work. I suspect few travel for the sole enjoyment of it anymore, with the waters being what they are. One must have reasons for every action, a purpose more than "I wanted to", or even better to answer "because I could". I have decided to say yes to every new experience this week, no matter what. Because I could.

I am reliving my firsts. If I was not in Arx long enough to experience and enjoy them, I will simply have to do them all again. I am taking suggestions and companion requests to join me.

I met a man the other day who wishes to give back to those he meets. Not in the traditional sense. Not in favors owed or presents given, but insight. To see yourself as he sees you. What an inspirational gift, if one takes it to view inward as well.

I have come up with a tale on where my missing chests and trunks have gone off. Each time I speak of it, the tale grows larger. In reality, the story is rather boring and not worth speaking of at all. At least now when everything is replaced I shall have exciting things to share with the tailors and carpenters.

I have returned to Arx after what seems like a lifetime away. So many things have changed, and yet many things have stayed the same and for that I am grateful. I had the pleasure of meeting many people since my return, and have been asking each the same question. What is your favorite place in the capital? What would you suggest someone new to the city see or do? Each place means something different to those who suggest it, and it is fascinating to hear why a place is special to them. I have many places on my list to visit, though I will always accept more.
