Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh.

It's perfect!! EEeeeeeeee ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥!!!!!!!!! I just got it on, thanks to my maids, and -- oh, it's amazing. It's amazing! Oh my gosh. How long until the party again? I can't wait! I need everyone to see this! I can't believe it came out of my head!

Reiz! Reiz, come in and see it!! So you can taunt everyone with hints of how amazing it is~!

I'm not getting out of it! No way! I'll just get started on hair and stuff right now and yes! Yayy! ♥!!!

Ethne! Oh my gosh! You're a genius! These sketches came out so perfect! This lady is a miracle! It's like she reached right into my head and plucked out exactly what I was thinking! Eeee ♥~!!!

We're rushing the sketches to the seamstress who does cuts and stuff for her, but, hmmmm, without giving too much away, this won't need much stitching! So it should be ready on time, so long as they work through the night!

Oh my gosh, it's perfect. You're all going to die!!

Soooo... I've been trying a whole lot of different designs, but nothing reeeally seems to be what I want. And designers are falling all over themselves trying to get me to go for one of their ideas, since I'll be the guest of honour! I've looked at five designs just this morning!

But none of it has really captured me...

Buuut... I have kind of a crazy idea about something I could wear! Like, something I came up with myself! That's silly, right? I'm not a designer! But I just keep thinking about it!

Can anyone in Razen draw?? Or know anyone who draws...? Maybe I could describe it to somebody and get some concepts?? This is probably a terrible idea when the ball is a week away~

It's Saturday! Hurray, day off! I've been working double triple super hard since everything happened because I want to be sure that everyone knows I deserve to be there! And so I double triple super need a day off!

What is everyone doing? Anything exciting? There are any parties? Ooh! Who's speaking tonight at sunset for the service??

Ohhh, come on, Aes! Put your chin up!

This isn't like me. Everyone is happy that I'm alive! And I'm just -- Urian doesn't even deserve it. He doesn't. All the things that I keep thinking about, they were never real. He was fake and cruel and terrible right from the start and missing him just lets him win!

I won't just... just curl up. I need to go on! Zaniel is going to be here in a week and I want him to see me strong and in control and not weeping over Urian!

He doesn't deserve it.

He doesn't.

So...

So... what is it they say? Fake it til you make it? Yeah. That's what I'm going to do. Fake it until I make it! And I'm going to start by going to the church and sitting down and listening to a sermon for real! No more wishywashy! I owe it to Karlesta, at least!

And maybe...

Maybe it'll give me some answers.

Oh -- but one thing first. Urian took the Night of Floating Fire away from me? Well -- well, I'll make a bigger scene than he could have imagined!

[Filter: Public, in Atsirian]

Queen Edalene! I've decided what I want for my boon!

Everyone knows that you keep close council with your cousin, Reiz! Well... I'd like your blessing, then! To marry him! So when he comes in here and I propose, we'll do it with all Atsiria behind our backs!
closetothesun: (and in the midst of sailing ships)
[Atsirian]

... ugh.

I check these every single morning, every morning! Thinking that this time, they'll be back! And here they are, the day that I'm going to...

Well, at least I'll get to tell my side. For everyone.

I don't intend to just -- just let this happen!

[Filter: ... I don't know. People I trust.]

[this filter includes Karlesta, Reiz, Ethne, Rhoswen, Vaelda, and Raezi]

... um. So.

I --

I had a meeting with Edalene today. After -- after Council. That's where I disappeared to. I vanished because we really -- she said we needed to talk, and...

She says I need to be judged by the end of the month. If not earlier. She can't put it off anymore. She says... well, it doesn't matter what she says. It's all true.

Maybe I should...

No, I can't.

I just want to crawl under the covers. But nowhere is even -- I just can't get away from it all! It's everywhere I go! I don't know what to do! Whenever I try and defend myself I just stick my foot in it and, and --

Edalene says that she won't -- she'd never. But at the least I'll lose my Council Seat. And at the worst...

I just...

How could he do this?! He's my brother, he --

How could he do this?
closetothesun: (takes some good)
[Filter: Reiz, in Atsirian]

I don't think I want to go to the stupid party. It probably won't be very good, anyway! Edalene's balls aren't the same anymore now that she has to spend time on other things, too. And I never did manage to come up with a good costume idea!

... can we just stay here, instead?
closetothesun: (takes some good)
[Atsirian]

Grr...

Reiz, is that you? Something -- augh! Something smells terrrible. What is this?

I don't want to get up...

Karlesta, I'm in so much trouble, aren't I?
closetothesun: (takes some good)

It...

It's not true!
closetothesun: (and in the midst of sailing ships)
[Atsirian]

I didn't do it! I didn't do it I didn't do it I swear I didn't do it!!

I can't -- I can't believe -- I am not going back in there, I'm not! I won't go back into that room and have her -- and have you, have everyone say these things about me that are just not true!

I don't -- I don't understand why -- I can't explain it and what does it matter what does it matter because I didn't do it!! It can't I mean reality can't be wrong and I would never ever ever ever ever ever do that I wouldn't
closetothesun: (keep us safe)
[Atsirian]

Wellll... ummm...

I think it's working!

Somebody came up to me in the market today -- I was, um, picking up some, uhh... okay, well, no, I was looking for gossip about just what is going on with Firuz!! That's not so bad, is it? Nobody knows exactly what's happening!

... so, yes.

I was there! And someone came up to me, an older lady, such a dignified sort of matriarch! And she told me that she's awfully glad that I'm not a wild and crazy water waster after all and she felt bad for ever thinking that it was true!
closetothesun: (and dry)
[Atsirian]

Oh my gosssssh has anyone else managed to see Firuz's wound? It's soooo gross!! It's all ragged and sliced up all along the back of his wrist. He's lucky that cretin didn't get him along the other side or he'd be awfully dead about now!!

He's trying to keep it from sight because he says it's upsetting to people but pffft~ I bet you can catch a glimpse if you bother him hard enough! (That's now I did it~ ♥~)

And --

Oh, boo, I have to meet you today for more of that water awareness today, don't I, Ethne?

Booooo.
closetothesun: (and in the midst of sailing ships)
[Atsirian]

Oh.

Ooooh.

Bleh!

Now I just want to go home.
closetothesun: (keep us safe)
[Atsirian]

Ethneeee this is sooo booorrrring.

This isn't even going to accomplish anything! Notices about easy ways to conserve water in the summer, who caaares, everyone knows this stuff already! What's the pooooint? People are going to see me working on this and think that I need to be re-educated!

I know never to pour water on my head without a surface underneath to catch and reuse it!

Booooo.
closetothesun: (and dry)
[Atsirian]

Ooh, you'd never believe it, but I actually miss the archives! I know! Isn't that crraaazy? I don't miss how bored I was, or how much I sneezed, or all the weird people down there, or never being able to show off my dress, but... it was so quiet for a few hours! And cooooool.

Siiigh.

Maybe I should become an old maid and live down there and never brush my hair or bathe. What do you think, Reiz~?

Mmm, bathe. I'd love to pour a hole cold bucket over my head right now!

[Filter: Karlesta and Raezi]

Sooo....

What do you think? I have a few dates in mind for when I could do it, maybe you could help me pick one? I've barely seen you since I told you all my plans!

There's Karlesta's party, buuut that's really more for Karlesta~ Then there's Joseph and Edalene's wedding coming up! That one will be a big deal, and I don't think Edalene would mind! But I could also wait for Festival, orrrr the Day of Floating Fire! Or the New Year.

Hmmmm.

It needs to be big! Come on! Help meeee!
closetothesun: (and dry)
[Atsirian]

Ooookay, everybody~!

Does everyone knows what huge important super exciting event is happening tweny days from now? Tick tock tick tock... it's Karlesta's birthday! She's going to be twenty-three this year and that's amazing, right~? I'm sooo excited and really, everybody should be! Sooooo, we are going to make it the best birthday ever!

You might be wondering, Aes Eshene, whyyy are you writing this where Karlesta can clearly see it? Well, because Karlesta is so great, she deserves to know just how much everybody thinks she's great and why keep it all quiet? It's not like we weren't going to do anything, right~?

I think we should have the party at Reiz's house! It's nicer than most of the official House residences, and it's sooo big, and he lives there all alone, so it doesn't even matter if we make a mess of it! I officially volunteer him for this~

Hmmmm, what else. What do you want, Karlesta? Ooh! I just figured out what I'm going to get you as a gift!

[Filtered from Karlesta, in Atsirian]

Ummm, also, I think that Shadda is angry at Karlesta and I really want to cheer her up! I don't know what's wrong, but we can make it better, right?

-- I'm not heartless! I know what all just happened in Megam, but that's so far from here and we spent alllll daaaaay in Council talking about it and is it so bad to just want to talk about something nice instead? Especially for Karlesta! She's so gloomy. She always needs nice things!

Oh my gosssssh it's so hottt~ I know it's just part of how things are here in this lovely country we're all so lucky to live in but booooooo. My hair is all limp and I'm sweating all over my nice new dress and it's awwwwful. Can't we all just agree that it's awful??

I'm thinking I might have to go down to the ocean tonight after Council but then my hair will be all salty and scraggly and my skin will be all sticky...

I really miss Dalphora sometimes!! This time of year all the coldmelt coming off the river up in the mountains and pouring down, mmmm. I miss that soooo much.

Wouldn't it be so nice to just go sit in cool, clean water and relax for a few days?

Sigh. Back to work, I guess! Sooo hottt.
