... Someone was in here again last night. Nothing is missing, at least, I don't think anything is. I don't know if it was just the people who worked here or what. This whole stupid clip thing just has me thinking too much about it that normal things aren't really normal.

Maybe I just need to clear my head for a while.

[Filter: Sawyer]

Hey... do you want to go out and do something for a bit? Maybe a walk, or a ride?

[Filter: Private]

Ugh.

Well.

Pros

It's the best thing I've come up with.
It's the only thing I've come up with.
If I don't try, that idiot is seriously going to drink himself to death.

Cons

I really don't want to do it.
[a long pause]
I bet he gets so clingy, after.

Not exactly a balanced list. Well, then.

Fine. Dragons forbid I let you kill yourself alone. If we have two coppers left to rub together, I suppose I'll join you for your nightly attempt to drown yourself in your mug.

All right, we finally got moving again and we should be back in Lucre tomorrow or maybe the next day. It's going to be really nice to finally stop travelling. I wish places could be closer together so you didn't have to take so much time getting to them and back.

Not that I'll probably be travelling again for a long time anyway.

Hello, everyone ...!

I'm still really tired. The birthing took a lot out of me. But I have such wonderful news that I just wanted to share it with everyone I can!

I had twins!

They're identical, just like Isllyn and I. And they're both boys! We named them Earnest and Roderick ...

Bertie doesn't really know what to think of them, yet. I've been trying to make sure he know that they're his little brothers and they need him to take care of them, so he doesn't get jealous ...!

They're so beautiful. I'm so happy right now I feel like I could just smile forever and ever ... haha, when I'm not sleeping, that is, because I feel as if I could do that, forever, too.

You know, it's true.

You can't believe every story that you hear. Fuck knows, I did that for too long, and look at what good it did me. Listen to the Dragons, they say, when the Dragons will let a girl who only ever served them die for a stupid cosmic game. Always show mercy, they say, when mercy involves letting the person who did it walk away. Stay away from sex, they say, when sex the only thing that lets me keep my fucking head.

And sometimes it isn't enough.

A guy has problems big enough, maybe it doesn't hurt to turn somewhere a little ugly for solutions.

So, hi! I'm actually not writing for permission to come sleep with you, which I'm sure is a pleasant surprise.

Actually, I ... sort of need some money. I don't really feel right asking Lawrence. It isn't as though I'm the most valued contributor to the group, after all, and it isn't for something all that practical. Plus, I know that you're more likely to ... not as awkward questions about what I'm going to do with it.

I'll pay you back, once I finally figure out this poker business. I swear, I suck slightly less, now.

Firstly, I am fully aware that it is technically the 2nd of the month, now. That said, I have been travelling all day through entirely unsavoury weather and we have only now reached a town to stop for the night in. I am wet, and cold, and tired, and I am most certainly not in the mood to have the validity of my fulfillment of my word challenged.

I want to make that perfectly clear. I have done my duty.

... Happy Birthday.
