Relationship Note on Austen

too late for all of us who have been here and seen a bit of the reality of this city, I think!


I checked.

I have just met Guildmaster Joscelin Arterius - who is one of the kindest people I have met since coming to Arx. I -may- have had a slight misunderstanding. Ida will never let me live this down, and I know she is going to hear about it. Damnit.

Is it too late to return to the Oathlands and become a farmer?

Relationship Note on Eirene

Uh.

“I hereby issue challenge to Princess Saorise Velenosa for hosting an impromptu salon in a quiet bar where people are just trying to enjoy the damn atmosphere and not listen to a lot of yapping.”

Perhaps the meaning is in code? If so, maybe share the right cypher.

I met Sir Austen Ferron officially today. Manly, stalwart, respectful, completely composed. Good taste in jewelry. As stiff as old bark but not as brittle. Not at all flustered and completely adaptable to changing situations. Also, very funny.

Considering that Lady Eirene has spent _literal_ years shitting on other people's duels as much as possible, in every possible venue where the discussion might come up, the Salon must really be congratulated at being so masterfully obnoxious.

Truly, I doff my cap.

I don't stoop to petty squabbling in my white journals. If you missed the actual point behind the challenge I'll explain it to you at the duel itself.

Relationship Note on Jordan

You can't. It's possible no one can.

If that bothers you, consider this; every man, woman, and child in that village, every life, has no legal worth to begin with. Technically they're all trespassing on the king's land, so if they all die it just makes room for Compact citizens to move into their homes and take over their fields and sleep in their beds when the danger has passed. Compact children can even play with their abandoned toys.

I think I'm doing this right?

As I read the journals, I am assured, once again, that the world of Arx is just as fussy and full of itself as always. I could offer a five-page essay on why so much of what is said is just complicating pretty simple issues, but it would just get lost in the sea of prissy and self-important babble. Suffice to say, you all need to find hobbies. Well, not all. Some are pretty amusing.

Here's the last of this:

Minutes are available. You can read them on your own time. Or show up to the event. The end.

No, you issued a challenge over having a public bar utilized for a public event.

I'd comment more on this Salon issue but it annoyed me enough to issue a Challenge over it so I won't. I guess we'll see after Bliss and Jeffeth meet.

Relationship Note on Mae

A marvelous addition to Arx's literature, and very illuminating to boot. All should know of this time period and the great changes that it brought under such admirable leaders.

To be fair there are probably only so many ways to write 'we patted ourselves on the back and drank a lot"

Relationship Note on Jonathan

Worry not, Squire Jonathan, the whiskey shall flow this evening. Cider and milk as well (This is a proper Oathlands fete afterall!)

I have been working feverishly (Actually it has been Marie, she kicked me out of the kitchen after only a few hours) to ensure this party is as festive as it should be. I have hired musicians, the Wyrmguard chocolate cake is *stunning* and I really hope this gathering will do you both the honor you deserve. I have decided against a goat-themed game for the evening, because the wedded pair should be the focus rather than some barnyard shenanigans. (Shenanigans, Nanny, Nanny goat, get it? I AM funny!)

That being said I should have a few games up my sleeve to keep the guest entertained.

Certainly, I wasn't saying anybody was out of favor with the Faith. I was merely expounding upon my expertise in manners, which is obviously considerable.

Relationship Note on Orazio

That was the general tenor of the debate -- that teaching is not REQUIRED, but making public a need for coin was a gaffe.

The Gilded Page has added more copies of Mistress Mae Grayhope's excellent tome, 'A HARLEQUIN'S TALE: QUEEN TRISCALI THE BOLD'!

These will hopefully last longer, as a drawing of Princess Alarissa's likeness has been posted next to them, and instructions not to sell her any more of them have been given to the store assistants. Four copies are enough, one might think!
