— CAPTAIN’S LOG #001
Not actually a captain. It just felt cooler than ‘dear diary.’ I can feel the air getting tenz tense, like we’re all ignoring a problem we don’t want to confront. Something big is coming... so I’ve decided to start documenting my life on the chance I become famous one day, hah. Let’s see if I can commit to this.
Let’s see... my name is Craig Cuttlefish, I’m nineteen about to be twenty with no direction in my life other than manning Ammo Knights with my buddy.. I love crabby cakes, tinkering with tech and talking with my friend, Ammoses. Single, will probably stay that way. I’m a reserved fellow with a good shot and a few bad habits. Who doesn’t have them, though?
Today I narrowly avoided being arrested in Octarian territory. Specifically in the Takowasa clan. I picked a gamble with someone who just so happened to be the son of their shogunate. My luck, right? He wasn’t wearing anything that even hinted to his status. I probably would’ve thought twice about trying to fight him for cheating me.
His demeanor sure changed when those guards showed up to collect him (and me.) He became a lot less snarky and snot-nosed and more delicate and fragile. Weird but at least he defended me and got me off the hook. Goodness knows I’m not fluent enough in Octarian to defend myself in court.
I don’t think that scene helped the fact that I was already getting a few nasty stares just for being there. Weird. I hope I can see him again sometime. I need to win back the money he stole from me. Ammoses will chew me out if he finds out I bet away our rent money.
