My apologies for not being readily available as of late. I am still unaccustomed to recording my thoughts in such a public manner. I pay more mind to my private journal, really.This past month has been incredibly mild in comparison to the last, but nothing is ever truly at peace here. To be expected from such a varied population in such a large

Yeah... I just hope they don't come up with any clever ideas for curses based off the holidays next month.

[cooperating]

Holidays?

[lyra_of_dust]

Christmas and new years.

[cooperating]

New Years seems self-explanatory enough... But what sort of holiday is Christmas?

[e_meritus]

I see little harm in assistance, though even less profit.

[cooperating]

Of course, still a Sky Pirate. If it is profit you seek, then that is still possible. People are often very grateful when their lives are saved, after all.

[e_meritus]

I grow weary of this place, with that in mind. There was a time when payment had little to do with lives and goodwill.

Yet I would do this without the intention of any profit to be had. You remember it is not the first time I have acted in the absence of reward.

[ooc; WOW. I'M *AWESOME* at typing. Give me an A.... now I'll be paranoid the whole time.]

[cooperating]

I remember it well, Fran. Though I do believe the warmth that comes with assisting others is it's own reward.

[ OOC: F - -!!! ...And me too for forgetting the bracket. ]

Ha ha, that's the spirit, young man. It's nice to see young people with such initiative.

[cooperating]

Are young people not known for their initiative in your world?

[a_roving_eye]

Very few are as motivated as yourself. Most are content to just lag about and do just enough to get by in the world. No drive.

Or perhaps it's just the fate of all old men to say that about the younger generation.

[cooperating]

If that is the case, I find it most unfortunate. Still, I do not find age relevant when it comes to assisting those in need.

[mostloyalknight]

I say that is a very good and noble idea, my lord.

[cooperating]

I should have acted on it sooner. It was foolish of me to think that somebody else might take care of the matter.

[mostloyalknight]

I am certain that your efforts are appreciated, my lord.

[cooperating]

Moreso than I deserve. Thank you, Basch. We should move quickly.

[steadfastedly]

I was hoping you'd say something like that.

[cooperating]

I should have acted as soon as I witnessed the fire.

[steadfastedly]

We should have acted. It isn't your fault, Larsa.

[cooperating]

Well, we will act now. And quickly.
