I for one advocate stabbing your order members, making them walk round with the dagger through their heart on the brink of death, and then collecting their blood for personal use.Terentia said:To be honest, I do think about doing that every time.Parhelion said:

A rave for @Czixi, and for this:
Congratulations! You have formed a Divine Cult under the auspices of Czixi, the Welkin.
You use 10,000,000 of your divine essence.
I wasn't expecting that when I logged in part way through wildnodes last night, and I certainly didn't expect what happened IC. Thank you for all of the work that you have clearly put into it all.

Will you come visit?
I swear these most wholesome encounters with NPCs always happen right when I'm needing them the most. I stepped out of my manse only to immediately receive a dove... it was from Duethielle. My leggies could not carry me to her fast enough. (Also near the very end the strange lag spikes started to occur, so I was suffering a little trying to get emotes out and left hurriedly)
You can read the full log here. Thank you to @Lief as always for escorting, and everyone else who showed up in Serenwilde...!

With a high-pitched hoot, a great horned owl wings in and deposits an elegant white letter into your hands, then flaps off again.
You blink.
READ LETTER
You read what is written on an elegant white letter:
Dear Gurashi,
We haven't talked in a long time.
I miss your music and dancing. It does not matter to me what you look like. I can you see in there.
Will you come visit?
Duethielle Ladrennbenn
P.S. Olikai would love to meet you.

Re: General Dissatisfaction
It's pretty minor in the scope of things, especially given a lot of the stuff posted here recently and everything else that everyone else has had to deal with due to #covidthings. I got a new job, one I didn't expect to even get an interview for, in July and got to move back to my home state. I've been living in various Airbnbs since the end of May, since they were a bit cheaper than an extended stay hotel thing, and they don't run credit like a short-term apartment would. My wife and two kids have been living with her parents since the same time, since my youngest is special needs and needs to have a house him-proofed a bit to keep him safe. No landlord would let us do said proofing, and understandably so. I wouldn't want a renter doing it to my house if I had one.
So, picked out a house, put in the offer, accepted, etc. Was told that our closing date would be the 19th. Well, it's past the 19th, still no closing. Been told probably going to be the 26th. Plan -was- to drive back, get my kids and wife over the course of the coming up weekend and the two days after. I have to take one furlough day a month, and hot dog, the 31st and the 1st are a Monday Tuesday that would give me a four day weekend to get it done. Well, after a long talk with my wife, that's not going to happen. It will be about another three weeks until I get to see my family again. The fam just can't move into a house that I wouldn't have time to prepare. Wouldn't be too bad if I could go out, meet people, do things, etc., but #covidthings. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I don't like doing things like this, but I feel like it needs to be done? You know yourself and your situation and your friend and their situation better than I do, and feeling like you don't want to burden someone else is valid, as is acknowledging that someone is in a worse place than you are.
This isn't really aimed at you specifically, by the way, but at anyone who feels like this. Someone else being worse off than you does not mean that your position or situation or emotions are not bad, and someone else doing better than you does not mean you are not doing well. It is okay to be upset when you are in a bad situation or place or emotional state. It's okay to be happy when you are in a good situation or place or emotional state. The relative goodness or badness of your situation does not make its goodness or badness invalid, and if you don't feel guilty about being better off than someone else, that is okay too.
When you run out of emotional spoons or have too many forks, it is fully okay to not go looking for more just because you know that someone else has a few more forks than you do and a few fewer spoons. There is nothing at all wrong with acknowledging that your cup is empty just because your neighbor's cup has dried out.
If you feel like you need to reach out to somebody to share your grief, that does not make you a burden, that makes you a friend in need. As long as you're relatively confident that your confidant is able to shoulder the load with you, and willing to, sharing it with them will probably leave you both better off. And who knows? Your friend may be struggling with something they didn't realize that you were dealing with as well.

Re: That Is My Truth
As Lief listens, her gaze falls to the fruit held in your hands. She smiles another quiet smile, one as unassuming as the delicate curve of a bluebell's stem. "Love is a scary thing," she says, and her musical voice rings strangely in the quiet of the realm, absent the choirs of before. She alights upon the edge of the altar of the Unbroken, perching there and gazing up at your face. "...My Lady teaches that our innermost Truths are ever-changing as we touch the world, and as we are touched by it. Our Truths change because we grow. I don't think this Truth you've told me is the same as the Truth you told me when we first met in your manse."
You think to yourself: * a swirling recollection of the tae'dae priest, spoken to by the Courtesan - "you are who you choose to become" *.
Softly, Unbroken Lief Myeras-Silvermoon says to you, "That is a good thing, I think."
