Found an...interesting note in the training center.

There are plenty of weapons that can be used non-lethally, if you're careful and lucky.

There's no such thing as a non-lethal weapon. I've killed people with sticks, well cared for and not. Fuck, for a while, I used to kill people with a jawbone.

There is no doubt that boundaries should be respected. When someone denies your advances, that should clearly be the end of it.

Relationship Note on Calista

After a day of being maudlin over the war with Tor, I went to the Taste of Tor party. Even dressed up pretty for it (Which Petal remembered she's responsible for). I need to sit with Calista and talk about what happened; she deserves to know.

I have to laugh - Malvici camouflage is to dress like normal Lycene.

There are some people who have a great deal of difficulty fathoming a world in which their advances are unwelcome. I assume their world involves a good deal of random piles of silver and spontaneous cake being delivered to them as well.

Relationship Note on Larissa

It was very brave to write what you did, and a conversation that needed to apparently happen, but I do not think the phenomenon is specifically bound to gender.

A kiss or a grab to a man's private parts, without invite, is as equally unwanted.

I should hope the people of Arx would approach personal relationships with better judgement. There certainly needs to be more respect for each other and personal spaces in general.

Relationship Note on Aiden

It's as beautiful as the name suggests.

You most certainly deserve it, and with your expertise, I can only imagine how scary you'll be in combat.

Starfall, what a beautiful alaricite bow. I will honor our past and protect our future with it.
I thank my family for helping me acquire it, it is an honor.

To quote someone I know:

Relationship Note on Driskell

Such wise words so I ask in return of Master Driskell:

What if the person was so corrupt already they did not care for their own corruption?

I saw you in a dress at the reception the other night. I am sorry I did not get to linger to remark upon it.

A passage from the Proverbs of the Theologia Tehomatica: May I always be quick to forgive those who in a moment of weakness cause harm, for a soul grows when they are given the opportunity to learn from their mistakes. Blessed are they who choose not to act upon another's weakness for their own gain, for doing otherwise grows the corruption within themselves.

Relationship Note on Laric

Prince Laric Grayson has demanded that I not give him a present for his birthday this year. He has insisted that I not do this. He has _required_ that I not give him a present for his birthday.

Therefore, I have _not_.

I have instead obscured his present somewhere about the grounds of of the mansion and I am sure that he will be able to identify it immediately upon spotting it as belonging to him.

With thanks to the very fine assistants at Master Fortunato Grayhope's shop for making my dream a reality.

Relationship Note on Calaudrin

I have heard the banjo and can state it does not appear evil or in consort with the Abyss. As for First Officer Estardes' skill with it...he has many other fine talents!

Archscholar Bianca or any number of others could say it better, but the White Reflections are so we don't forget who we are.

And for better or worse, this is who we are.

Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find tales of adventure, bravery, heroism, and also sometimes defeat. I tend to feel proud to be part of the Compact with these people after reading them.

Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find anecdotes or tales meant to make one think, provide some moral to the story, thoughtful warning, or bit of education on a topic hidden in prose. I often reach out to these people after to speak with them in more detail on what they have written about.

Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find joy expressed, beauty described, loves triumph, and appreciation for a fellow person. This makes me stop in my busy schedule to think of those close to me, and appreciate the fact that they are indeed, close to me. It also encourages me to reach out to someone on occasion and just let them know that... hey... I appreciate you.

Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find.... well, things that make me roll my eyes and question the maturity level of some people. Not in the, oh, these people are silly and fun way but in the way that these people should come with a warning label that they do not play well with others.

Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find... there are a great many people who ARE silly and fun and even if sometimes in an immature way, they make me smile.

Some days, I browse through the recent white journal entries into the archives and find squabbles or just inane back and forth that could (and probably should) be kept to personal meetings or messengers.

Then, there are days like today, where I experience a myriad of feelings in regards to what I read. I have been amused, snorted and smirked, rolled my eyes, nodded in agreement. And, I have to say, I find the things written by someone named Nierzen refreshingly if brutally honest and entertaining. I likely will find them this way until the day one is written about me. This is a fault of my own I can admit.

All that said, I would like to note that a rumor (especially one made without naming an offender) is just a rumor until the anonymous offender speaks up about it and lays claim to the offending act by defending the doing of such an act. Well done, culprit.

Relationship Note on Joslyn

Rumors of cursed instruments are exaggerations. I was overly sharp with my friend Lieutenant Estardes one time and bought him a banjo as an apology. The only curse about it is that the man has zero talent.

Goodbye, thirty three.
