Abala is an AMAZING dm, she's been responsible for some of my favorite moments of v6 and I'm honestly floored by all the amazing stuff she's made for us! (astrologians, politics, sisters, wow it's all of my favorite things what a coincidence) Her dming and building is such a huge part of what makes EFU special for me. Thanks so much abala!!

yay for halfbrood!
it's hard to tell playerwise who built what area, but i have been so thoroughly impressed by the toolset design ive seen, as well as the worldbuilding, lore, and atmosphere of v6. you can really tell that it was a labor of love. i like it a lot, and i also really enjoy halfbroods dming when i get to see him do his thing!
and it is true. giants ARE really cool

It's interesting to consider how I feel about this.
How 'should' I feel? The answer is not obvious. Perhaps I should be vindicated. She did not listen to the advice of her sisters, now here she is paying a price. And it is such a mild price, such a minor rebuke. And she will never make that mistake again.
Acolyte Hypatia, surely, would feel such a satisfaction, and perhaps even might gloat to the poor, whimpering thing.
I know now that would be cruel. She is my sister. She has made a mistake, but it is so that she corrected her error. To err is not a sin, but persisting in error is. What is more righteous than to welcome her now with grace and love?
This, it seems to me, is how I should behave, but I haven't arrived at the answer of how I 'actually feel,' whatever that means.
The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that the question is immaterial. What matters is how I act.
Gloating isn't necessary, unless it has an effect. Welcoming her is necessary, for it has an effect. So how I feel is of no consequence at all if I do not let it affect my actions.
And isn't the answer obvious? When she smiled at me, when she shared how it felt...
Yes, that gave me permission to feel it with her.

Correspondence / [A poem for Estellise.]
October 01, 2023, 02:27:40 PM
Estie,
I wrote a poem for you after our earlier talk about poetry. It's been some time since I've made an attempt like this, but I'm very happy with the result.
It always makes me smile to see the little foxes trotting across the sand. With their little footsteps! I hope it makes you happy too. Please send me your thoughts, and any other works of yours that you might like me to read.
Your friend,
Hypatia

QuoteThe little desert fox, he goes
Galumphing o'er the plains!
He sneaks along to find his prey
The little bird and her eggs!
The desert fox hides in the brush
His foeman passes him by!
No melek, kobold, goblin-band
Shall make a fennec pie!
A little fox must be so deft
If he shall earn his keep!
He has so many miles to go
Before it's safe to sleep.
But when the night is dark and still
The fox, he is alone.
"Where can I find me a friend,
That I might share my home?"

Dear Alejandro,
Thank you so much for your words of advice. I thought further about the restriction, and realized that I only wanted to write a poem that would make my friend happy. Following from that, here have I written a poem which makes me happy. I am not used to sharing these things, but I thought you might like to see what your advice has helped to create.

Dear Alejandro,
Something terribly unfortunate has happened, which I hope you may be able to rectify.
I want to write a poem for a friend after we discussed her own (rarely-seen) poetry. To my great chagrin, all that I have been able to produce so far is a blank page. It disheartens. Have I really so little to say?
You are of course the first poet I thought of to write for help. Please, how do you decide what to write about? Is there a process that you follow?

I am not afraid, afraid, afraid, as I become myself, myself, myself.
This is the grace of graces. This is the peace of peaces.
All of me is given up. Now I am not afraid. Now I am only myself.
I have never been more free.

Estellise,
I'm trying my best. I'm going to do everything that I can.
Mercy is a virtue. I hope that they will be able to see it.

Janissary Thud,
It is in the interests of justice that we meet as quickly as possible. I suspect that certain parties are trying to indemnify themselves. I am hoping to meet with Legate Marcellus as soon as possible; we might both speak to him then, or else I can meet with you for an interview at your convenience. I regret that I cannot provide you with a detailed written account at present; I am pressed for time and must write in haste while I may.
Know that I do not have the full picture of events. I was only a party to the voyage on Qdim 19, yet I believe it holds relevance to the events of Qdim 20th, which we now find ourselves most concerned with.
Let Izdu's lantern guide your steps.
