Opening Day Operations Log

I have decided to continue documenting my progress. Furthermore, I will attempt to be less formal, as I don't plan on this being used in any official capacity, and there are some miscellaneous things I must ̶g̶e̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶c̶h̶e̶s̶t̶ document. It was an eventful opening day, but before I discuss business, I feel the need to recount the uninvited guests I received earlier. Wanda of all people showed up to my storefront (Had I been at the counter at the time I would have pulled the "security" lever), but alas we talked, for the first time in years, albeit only briefly. Neither of us were keen to talk to each other ̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶.̶.̶.̶.̶ ̶s̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶i̶d̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶e̶v̶e̶n̶ ̶t̶r̶y̶, just seemed like a “business trip” to her, with a side of her taunting me of course. She of course remarked that what I'm doing is just a foolish attempt to please mother and immediately dismissed all the ̶P̶A̶I̶N̶S̶T̶A̶K̶I̶N̶G̶ ̶effort I put into the place, but I digress: She was correct in this assumption, at least partially. I started this business in the hopes of being recognised by mother, but now, after hearing that, I just want to do well for myself. ̶,̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶r̶u̶b̶ ̶i̶t̶ ̶i̶n̶ ̶b̶o̶t̶h̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶i̶r̶ ̶f̶a̶c̶e̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶c̶o̶u̶r̶s̶e̶,̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶y̶’̶d̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶e̶.̶ By some strange twist of fate, it seems that she’s in league with Celrin’s superior from Trinum, I’m ̶w̶o̶r̶r̶i̶e̶d̶ ̶curious to find out more of what Wanda’s been up, or perhaps I’ll never see her again. Anyways, time to discuss business. It felt good to return to my craft again, its been quite a while since I’ve made jewellery like this. Despite my initial rust, I am very satisfied with my performance today. I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention the efforts of Xena. I hired her out of necessity for someone to work the forge to create moulds and such, but she has turned out to be quite the package, so to speak. ̶D̶e̶s̶p̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶u̶n̶u̶s̶u̶a̶l̶ ̶h̶a̶i̶r̶,̶ ̶her work is astounding thus far. She seems both skilled and shows great passion for what she does. Its quite admirable, but I was hesitant to show too much praise on her first day. Regardless, I think the two of us will make a great productive team. ̶ ̶H̶e̶r̶ ̶p̶i̶n̶k̶ ̶h̶a̶i̶r̶ ̶i̶s̶ ̶v̶e̶r̶y̶ ̶e̶y̶e̶-̶c̶a̶t̶c̶h̶i̶n̶g̶,̶ ̶r̶e̶m̶i̶n̶i̶s̶c̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶r̶o̶s̶e̶-̶q̶u̶a̶r̶t̶z̶.̶ Wren came around some time in the afternoon to commission ̶m̶e̶ us. I was very pleased to serve her as her request was quite intriguing: ̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶I̶ ̶k̶n̶e̶w̶ ̶s̶h̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶d̶ ̶a̶ ̶l̶o̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶g̶o̶l̶d̶ ̶l̶e̶f̶t̶ ̶o̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶B̶l̶o̶a̶t̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶j̶o̶b̶:̶ Using the crystals from underneath our premises, I was to fashion a “masculine” amulet with the crystal as the centrepiece. This was no easy task and it took me the better half of the day to successfully harvest the crystals alone, but I was able to do it successfully with my skill. Thankfully, Xena had the mould ready for me when I returned, and we finished the amulet together. It pleased me to see that Wren was satisfied with the results, but the matter of payment remained. This was perhaps my greatest work yet, ̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶I̶ ̶s̶t̶i̶l̶l̶ ̶g̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶W̶r̶e̶n̶ ̶a̶ ̶d̶i̶s̶c̶o̶u̶n̶t̶ ̶(̶S̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶u̶l̶l̶e̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶b̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶ ̶c̶a̶r̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶u̶p̶p̶y̶ ̶d̶o̶g̶ ̶e̶y̶e̶s̶)̶.̶ ̶ ̶I̶ ̶j̶u̶s̶t̶ ̶h̶o̶p̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶f̶e̶s̶s̶o̶r̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶a̶p̶p̶r̶e̶c̶i̶a̶t̶e̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶2̶0̶ ̶y̶e̶a̶r̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶t̶o̶o̶k̶ ̶o̶f̶f̶ ̶m̶y̶ ̶B̶A̶C̶K̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶h̶a̶r̶v̶e̶s̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶d̶a̶m̶n̶ ̶c̶r̶y̶s̶t̶a̶l̶!̶ I charged her 200 gold. ̶T̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶c̶o̶n̶c̶l̶u̶d̶e̶s̶ ̶w̶h̶a̶t̶e̶v̶e̶r̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶i̶s̶.̶ ̶I̶’̶m̶ ̶g̶o̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶g̶o̶ ̶e̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶r̶e̶s̶t̶.̶ End of log. Eleonora P.S: Stop wasting precious paper with all the scrawling, IT IS NOT LEGIBLE. Also stop talking about other people like that. P.P.S: Stop being lazy and come up with a name for the store, or ask someone for ideas...

An Audit of the Last 11 Months

I don't normally have the time keep a journal, nor do I see the need, but lately I feel like I need to put my thoughts down on paper f̶o̶r̶ ̶s̶a̶n̶i̶t̶y̶'̶s̶ ̶s̶a̶k̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ to keep tabs on current events. In fact, I consider this more of an audit of what I've accomplished over the last few months rather than a journal, I don't want to be sentimental. The voice in my head has grown louder and louder since the battle with Jan, and I feel myself giving into his whims more and more whenever I find myself in combat. I still don't know what he is, but I am sure he is responsible for my situation. When he aids me, I can feel a dé̵͘e̵͏̡p̡ ̡͠ha͢t̡͜r̵ę͝d͏ b͝o̶̶ìl͏̴íng̛̛ ͟i͘͘ns҉͞͞i̶d̛e ͟͜m̴̢̛e̕͝, perhaps that's the source of this power. During the siege on Northal Castle, I think I scared a few people with my power,̶i̶n̶c̶l̶u̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶m̶y̶s̶e̶l̶f̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶h̶o̶n̶e̶s̶t̶. Wren and Celrin were impressed, but I only felt shame. I̶'̶m̶ ̶a̶ ̶m̶e̶r̶c̶h̶a̶n̶t̶ ̶f̶o̶r̶ ̶g̶o̶d̶ ̶s̶a̶k̶e̶,̶ ̶n̶o̶t̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶k̶i̶n̶d̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶m̶a̶g̶i̶c̶ ̶a̶s̶s̶a̶s̶s̶i̶n̶!̶ I won't lose myself like that again. With that in mind, I'd like to avoid unnecessary fighting in future, I̶ ̶a̶m̶ ̶N̶O̶T̶ ̶g̶o̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶d̶e̶v̶o̶l̶v̶e̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶o̶ ̶s̶o̶m̶e̶ ̶b̶l̶o̶o̶d̶-̶d̶r̶u̶n̶k̶ ̶l̶u̶n̶a̶t̶i̶c̶. Ideally, I'd like to never kill again, but with the situation I'm in now, that seems rather unlikely. I am living away from mother, we didn't necessarily leave on good speaking terms and I'm sure this is reminding her of W̶a̶n̶d̶a̶'̶s̶ "her" departure. I do not intend to runaway from mother, I will instead confront her and prove I can make some coin, and so far my plan has been going well. The entrepreneur inside me compelled me to open a new business to directly compete with mother's, albeit with a slightly different target market. I aim to supply the Institute with suitable conduits and other baubles requiring gem-cutting. For bigger commissions, I can also target the upper class living near the castle. Renovations have been going very well in the manor to fit the storefront and workshop. I have also hired someone to assist me with forging in the workshop, she seems eager to work and was fresh off the boat from Secrix no less, I could tell she was speaking Eriosan. I've also been getting some help from Wren with the marketing aspect and she has agreed to help me advertise to the Institute. I̶'̶m̶ ̶q̶u̶i̶t̶e̶ ̶f̶o̶n̶d̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶h̶e̶r̶,̶ ̶s̶h̶e̶'̶s̶ ̶a̶ ̶g̶o̶o̶d̶ ̶f̶r̶i̶e̶n̶d̶,̶ ̶b̶u̶t̶ ̶s̶h̶e̶'̶s̶ ̶b̶e̶e̶n̶ ̶s̶p̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶ ̶l̶o̶t̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶ ̶a̶w̶a̶y̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶I̶n̶s̶t̶i̶t̶u̶t̶e̶ ̶l̶a̶t̶e̶l̶y̶.̶.̶.̶ She seems to be making progress in her studies. I hope this will be a fruitful venture. I have also begun learning how to play the piano, with the help of Lord Jhin no less. Mother always loathed musical instruments, perhaps this can be seen as some form of petty rebellion, but my reason for learning it merely stems from the fact that the piano looked quite l̶o̶n̶e̶l̶y̶ useless in the main room with no one playing it. I̶r̶o̶n̶i̶c̶a̶l̶l̶y̶ ̶e̶n̶o̶u̶g̶h̶,̶ ̶W̶a̶n̶d̶a̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶a̶l̶s̶o̶ ̶p̶r̶e̶t̶t̶y̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶f̶i̶c̶i̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶p̶l̶a̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶p̶i̶a̶n̶o̶.̶ I hope this won't be a waste of my time, I have enough distractions in my life right now. This Concludes the Audit, Eleonora Addleman P.S: This was absolutely pointless. This is completely illegible. I must improve my handwriting and think before I write.
