Dear Gregory Quigsby,

I am drunk sick but not so much so that I can't respond to correspondence.

In fact, the word respond is even wholly contained within correspondence, because it is precisely what I am doing right now. I am responding ( respondence ) with ( co- ) you.

I wish to gamble. A lot. But your trip is poorly timed, so I will not be in attendance. I am already preparing for a trip, and my trip's days will include the 15th of Iyar.

So you see despite my interest in gambling, I cannot attend.

Regards,
Estellise Azimi

I didn't mean like this

I didn't want this

This teaches me nothing it's too cruel

I thought you cared about me

Why take her away from me

She was nothing to you

She was helping you even

WHY?

Dear Aurora,

Do not join the battle today.

If you do not, then we shall speak tonight.

Otherwise, it matters little.

Regards,

If not for Alexandria's letter, I would have continued in my foul mood. I despaired somewhat because I briefly forgot that all my opponents are idiotic wretches.

Except YOU.

Are you familiar with the concept of accelerationism? Yes. Of course, you are.

If I wish to halt the inevitable, then I must employ extreme methods. Let us call this a Test of Courage between the two of us.

You see, I have far less to lose than you do. I am secure here within this Tower. I can walk away from the mob of wretches, who cry the moment they stub their toe or suffer even the most minor of setbacks.

However, you must endure their presence. Even your piece must endure their presence.

Behold, the future that I have Seen.

YOU will get to live through the Path of my choosing, and it is a decidedly unpleasant one.

YOU will be forced to split them up yourself.

How will you do so? I admittedly am intrigued to see what occurs.

Do not let me down, my mentor. I wish for a new lesson.

Dear Legate Alexandria,

As many before you, you have made the foolish error of assuming that the Sisters are my enemies.

You currently possess a useless Co-Legate who will agree to anything and rather than dismantle the Voiced system and benefit refugees forevermore, you have attempted to give the Banda Rossa free reign to police crimes in the Krak, South Gate, and the Almshouse.

For free, no less. You have sorely misjudged the priorities of La Capitana and her true Condottieros.

As a seer, I urge you not to squander this time available to you with such nonsense. It will be over sooner than you think.

Best,
Estellise Azimi

In a mere nine days, I will have spent 2 years in this cycle (plus or minus 5 days).

I truly must warn the next iteration about this war and how long it drags on. I had some presentiment of such, hence my attempts to speak up during the Kardesler of Year 0, but I was rebuffed by Princess Hasheema and thus did I fail to avert it.

Ugh, I shouldn't think in such a way. It would make it seem as if I have already given up.

I have not given up. I am merely in a difficult situation. The existence of an external threat has made it simpler than ever for my opponents to get the idiots of this place in lock step with their desires.

After all, who cares about the continued hellish existence of a crumbling ruin where none have any reprieve from orcs and war?

Even I struggle to find a way to explain what is beautiful about this place, this existence, and this world to others. Even I struggle to explain why they are worth saving.

If I cannot figure it out, I will lose. Again.

I mean, I guess it's really more like forcing a draw since I do not lose unless I give up for good.

Dear Legate Alexandria,

You are but half-way there. Keep going.

Regards,

I think that price made sense early chapter and was seen as a huge goal back then, but now we live under the yoke of...

~Economic Hyperinflation~

I think it makes sense that the price would have gone up accordingly, not sure what makes sense in the current economy, 20k? 50k?

Dear Legate Alexandria,

Abolish the Voiced system. Find out what Achaeus would require to see it done.

Dear Scribe,

It is so very strange how we keep just missing each other.

I will endeavor to find you as soon as I am able.

Although, if we still find it difficult, one rather unconventional method is available to you.

The Sisters of the Sibylline Vine have an organizational license, so were you to join them as an Acolyte, your divination would be sanctioned.

Estellise Azimi

IDK if we should end it, people seem to really enjoy it! it's basically like the Drill from v5, but now it's a moving Desert Camp!

Dear Sister Zoe,

Be sure to dress warm. I hear we're due for some cold weather soon.

Regards,
Estellise Azimi

Dear Scribe,

Seek me out whenever you are able. I am not difficult to find.

Regards,
Estellise Azimi

Dear Sister Zoe,

I do not desire a Qari doll nor would I ever desire such!

His return has been anticipated and accounted for. It did not blind side me in the slightest. In truth, it will be simpler than ever to see the Gold League undone with such an odious presence gracing the Well once more.

I am feeling charitable so I will reveal something. You were fooled to allow Qari to secure the room. Owing to an architectural flaw, it allows one to eavesdrop upon my own.

Any trick you wish to show I have already seen and am already aware of and have long since surpassed.

Regards,
Estellise Azimi
