This place has become increasingly frustrating. To have immortality so close I can feel it within my grasp, yet to be denied... I wonder how much longer it will take for Papillion to determine my worth.
The alchemist Kimblee has a stone, I'm sure of it. I could feel something abnormal about him in the arena. To have a back up plan is certainly worth the risk and while he's hardly a threat in hand-to-hand, he has the advantage of that alchemy of his. Getting too close could prove to be deadly. I suppose I'll have to be careful, and try to consult with an alchemist.

It seems we have another roommate! I don't think he speaks, however, but it appears he hasn't left since the night before. Livio, did you make a new friend and forget to tell me?
Ah, I had been meaning to ask... How many of you have some variation of something called the Philosopher's Stone in your world? I ran across it in a story at the library, and thought it looked interesting!

Another question. What sort of creatures feed on souls in this city?
