You're where the Wild Things are...

An in-character blog set in the universe of EVE Online. These are the private diary entries of Lady Ekaterina Mariya deSilvestris, a minor Amarrian Noble and Capsuleer. Other existing characters within EVE will be referred to throughout, though any opinions and views expressed are those of this character. These entries may touch on or directly address mature themes such as violence, sexuality, race and ethnicity, and mental health. As noted, any views are those of the character.

Before we begin, I feel it important to say a few words on the subject of mental health. Ekaterina, or Ekat as many call her, is something of a troubled soul. This aspect of her character is a personal choice I have made, for very personal reasons. Although EVE is a game in which the players can immerse themselves to a greater or lesser degree as they wish, mental health is a very real issue for many people. Those two simple words cover a myriad different issues and concerns that affect people directly or indirectly every day all, over the world.

If you find yourself affected by any issues touched upon in these posts, or if you face your own troubles, please know that there are people out there you can turn to; doctors, friends, family - there is ALWAYS someone. If you are an EVE player, then Broadcast 4 Reps chat is available, staffed by wonderfully kind and good-hearted volunteers. If you know of someone who has mental health issues, then please just let them know you are there. It doesn't have to be anything big, just a smile, a cup of tea, a quick phone call about last night's game - just a little thing to show they aren't forgotten.

They took the fight to the Traitor's rat-hole.  Wonderful.  I can picture her there, cowering terrified, knowing the Wrath of God was coming for her.

I had to be the shining knight today.  Edward almost got into a fight with Lord Kithrus.  I do not know exactly what they were arguing about, but it became quite heated and would surely have come to blows had I not dragged him away.  Edward is far more of a lover, albeit self-styled, than a fighter.  He is lucky I was there (but then, little Katya, how many other places would you have been?)

He did not say much, but it was obvious he is not happy that certain parties seem to be ignoring,or even aiding, the Cartel.  He hates them.  I do not think he has had quite the same experiences with them  have.  He is lucky.  Still, I could not allow him to assault a Holder.  Not even Edward could charm his way out of the consequences of that.

Lord Kithrus asked me about it later.  I told him Edward is a man of strong principles, but that these sometimes get in the way of his better judgement.  Lord Kithrus seemed satisfied enough.  He spoke quite highly of Edward.  He is a Holder, he will understand.

Vea responded to my summons.  She appears to have recovered well since that incident with the Cartel.  I offered her employment in the household.  She accepted for now, but she intends to make her way to the Federation sooner or later.  Hopefully some guidance from Father Mikhail will dissuade her from that misguided notion.

I should not have stirred up thoughts of my Time Away.  Between that and Nation still at the door, I shall have the most horrid nightmares, asleep or awake.  I cannot disturb Father Mikhail at hour.

Is my Old Friend still in the drawer?
