I guess I always knew that underneath this flesh we are all just bags of meat and blood. The major difference between taxidermy and healing is I have never seen pain in any of my subjects' eyes before. It is easier here at the hospital, but I nearly froze up in Pieros. Honestly when the jungle came to life I was already so distracted with the rivers of blood leaving the tent that I just thought I imagined it.

It seems the war is upon us. I may not be able to fight but I will help those that fall outside the walls get to the hospital. If I don't make it back, let my patron, Princess Graziella, decide where my things go.

I was startled in my hammock outside the shop by a loud noise- and something fell from the sky! It put a big hole in the ground- but once I saw the scrap of leather in the inside- I had Dergus fill the dirt back in. I came back to the showroom to confirm my suspicion and sure enough, they heard it much louder than I did. What is Zakhar up to over there? I'll have to pay him a visit at his emporium to find out..

I'm glad we didn't go down that hole after all. There are more dangers than the walls falling in on us if that leads where I now think it does. It only brings up more questions about however- like how was something like not discovered before? Could it be something sinister? I for one am weary to go back in the same casual manner as before. I'm going to get some tools ready for our next excursion, some books at the Great Archive should tend me what climbers might need.
I need to tell Raja that Sina Plaza just got a lot more complicated.

The opening of the lounge went fantastic. It is amazing to think of how far I have come in such a short time. Without the medicine and the tutors, I'd be dying in the graveyard right now. I owe everything to my patron, Princess Graziella deserves her own statue in the Hall of Heroes.

The Mercies have helped me clear my lungs out enough to do some work- Hopefully soon I can begin to entertain guests again! Dergus has been a huge help getting things into the shop, I'll have to remember to buy him some extra rounds next time we breeze into Traders.

I never thought seeing a peacock in the Garden of Silken Delights would be the second strangest thing I'd see this morning. Seems he has assembled his own little bannermen from the misfit animals that live over in the Lowers. People had better watch out- If they see a one eyed cat, a three legged dog, and a proud peacock they better run the other way! (Those ducks aren't usually far behind, they almost shit RIGHT on me!) I collected a few of the pretty feathers after I snuck back, maybe I'll put a few out for the next few customers that wander in.

It is truly amazing how quickly one's luck can turn. As if our fates are balanced on the edge of some immaterial blade, a simple meeting can change life so utterly it feels as if a doppelganger has taken our place. Although my life is filled with luxury, I can't help but wonder how permanent this situation is. Has this balance always been in my control or is there something unseen pulling our strings? It could perhaps might an interesting painting..

It is sometimes truly amazing how quickly fortune can turn. One day a bum in the graveyard, the next an affluent business owner. The tutors, the food, the access to medicine. I even hired the Ironguard that gave me this scar to be my bodyguard. I suppose his violent nature got him into trouble at that last tourney. The wine from Tor and the teas from Silk Row have allowed me to control, to some degree, the shifts in my moods as well. Now that I feel truly comfortable, I feel my creativity can truly come unhinged. Arx, prepare yourself for- Animals: in Human Lives!

I have made my rounds through the other local businesses. The Lair is looking quite homey and the orders are starting to pour in. Life is looking up for us.

The shop is nearly opened. We even made our first sale already. The Mistress must put her finishing touches on things but soon. Son my family will find new loving homes across Arx. I even found a way to quiet the noises in my head. Just a little liquor or haze seems to help me stay focused. Now if only I could find something to do the same thing to Mortyx. He has been insufferable.
