Hello Journal! 

I’m currently writing this in Frostgorge Sound at a Vigil camp where I’m staying with Maaru. Isendil was with us as well, but he seemed.. Uncomfortable. I’m not sure if its something I had said or if Maaru said something. But, I know one thing for sure, Maaru’s up to something. We had a good talk about well.. A lot of things. She said she was going to do something ‘good for my heart’, and came back with Isendil. I’m not really sure what that means. 

Well, moving on! We’re collecting samples out here to see if they could help against the Rot in any way, but from what it seems so far, its not going to do much.. I’m not sure where else to look at this point, but I wont give up! Friends do the right thing and keep fighting.. Right? 

Well, today’s song is one that my friend Imogen showed me. She said I’d learn to understand it, when I understood myself. I think I’m starting to get it, but I’m not sure. 

Well, unless I want to spill my heart out onto the page, I think I’m done for now. Some things are just better left unsaid. 

With Love, 

The past few days have been hectic. I will continue to keep these journal entries going so that in the event I have some sort of memory loss, there will be an account to work off of. - Eithyne and her crew have been tasked to Griffonrook Run and The Offering Stone in the Shiverpeaks. -Isendel’s samples appear to be negative for both immunity to Rot or presence of it.

-Syddic is an odd man. I understand he is dying, but I wonder sometimes what he thinks of me. I remain cold to him because he has not much to offer if he refuses to collect samples. Luckily, he has come to his senses, though this change in demeanor has opened him up to providing insight on my own life.

-Research on Eithyne’s newest samples from the Artesian Waters in Orr, as well at the Oasis, Lightfoot Passage, has commenced. So far, neither of the two samples seem to exhibit extraordinary healing powers as the Dry Top vials did. I predict less applicability to the serum. -I will contact this Calico Harper soon. It seems we got off on the wrong foot initially, according to my journal. Perhaps as more Sylvari are infected and the prices of food rise, we will have more of a driving force to interact and find a common ground.

-On a more personal note, I have been questioning the reality I have entered. A year and a half has passed and though my hand has catalogued the passing events, I find it hard to believe I experienced them. Now my own memories are called into question. My own perceptions. Velthan has nearly denounced the notion that he ever loved me, calling it a ‘strong’ word. If that is the case, and I lived so long thinking he and I would be together, what else is fake? What else is superficial. This same question has led to a rift between me and Garr. Though I realize his feelings for me are genuine, it is hard to acclimate to the new-found affection. To be gentle is not to be Garr. I wonder if work is not the ultimate subject to siphon my time in to.

-Thermogan is heart broken, though on his own behalf, we will meet.

-Darius kindly watched Calliope on a play date with Kasia, his own daughter. Since we had not met more than once, it was easy to fit into my garnered knowledge of him without bothering about my recent predicament. I stopped drinking in time to pick her up without smelling like alcohol. 

Hello Journal! 

Well, there’s certainly a lot I could catch you up on. First, a friend of mine, Dezigrar seems to have lost her memories. I’m not sure how but.. She’s a different person now. She doesn’t seem to want to be her old self, either. But, what seems fishy to me is that she was the Researcher who was working to combat the Rot. It seems a bit... Odd to me. 

Next, I well.. I went to Orr. Even after all this time, it’s still a difficult place for me. But, I had good friends with me! They kept me safe, and I even got to learn I have a lot more in common with a friend than I originally thought. We all made it home safe and unharmed! 

Today’s song, well.. It’s one of my favorites! Maeve use to sing it to me all the time.. But, it wasn’t till recently when I understood its lyrics. Maybe, you really dont hear the meaning of a song, until something changes the way you hear it. 

Anyway, it’s been a good day so far, aside from paperwork! I hope to see some of my friends today and see some progress get done. Just, making people smile. The usual. 

With Love,

Hello! Well, this is my second entry! Today, I’d like to talk about a few things. First, I had a young man ‘sing’ and play ‘music’ for my friend Faith and I, but.. I didn’t hear anything. It was quite awkward! Next, I moved in with my friend Faith today! She lives out in Kessex Hills, so it’s a little ways away from the city, but its lovely for scenery! I think I’m really going to like living out there! 

Today’s music is Asura sounding! Lots of beeps and boops! 

But, I chose it for a reason. I’ve recently found myself quite attached to someone. I’ve.. I’ve known him for a while, but I never really realized it before! I wish I could say his name, but I’m afraid there’s still people that might be after him. Oh! Wait, this is a journal and I’m the only one reading what I write... Well! I still don’t wanna list it, just incase. I never realized before, how someone you barely know can make you worry so very much. But, I would hope one day, he’d listen to this song and hear the same things I do! 

But for now, I’ve gotta finish unpacking at Faiths. 

Talk to you soon!
