Down to Brass Tacks

[Tofflesby]

Suppose it's only proper to start keeping one of these, as is apparently the fashion about the Well. It's all going a bit to shit, isn't it? As I pen this, I think of Faith's funeral, and I wonder. Would anybody care enough to give me something like this? I have coworkers, comrades, associates.. but do I have even a single, truly dear friend?

Did I ever?

Torment. Torment. Torment.

Finally got that consult done with Rumei. Not sure I believe him about it improving energy flow and whatnot, but it gives me a plan going forwards, at least.

The going-to-shit continues - seems The Beast got its hooks in Garen and compelled him down, ignoring all of Zelpha and I's perfectly logical reasons he should turn around. I suppose a warrior would have simply challenged him to a bout keep him from going deeper, but I truly don't think there was an outcome that would have worked out.

But should I have tried anyways?

Plaza was thankfully quiet - not a single Tormented aboveground, reportedly.

Finances remain dismal as ever.

The Foundations rumble.
