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.

You Never Fly Alone.

Sasha has written. He shall be returning home soon.  Now that we have Victory in Thebeka, the planetside operations are winding down.  Mama will be so pleased to have him back safe.  I must let Kolya and Felix know.

Captain Elkin has also announced Victory Dinner in celebration at her Family Estate.  Formal dress, of course.  I am sure it will be absolutely delightful.  Captain Elkin is quite the sophisticated lady, and there is no doubt it will be absolutely the subject of discussion in polite society for a long time.

I have asked Captain Elkin if I may be permitted to ask Amadin to accompany me.  I understand he is a little rough around the edges for her, but she agreed.  I informed him earlier tonight, and he seemed quite pleased (apparently, he had been moping about beforehand, quite keen to see me, but one cannot read too much into such things. Or can one?).  We also spoke a little of PIE, and I must admit I rather encouraged him.  I must not be overly enthusiastic about that, I know that Directrix Aspenstar would not dislike Amadin joining SFRIM.

Speaking of the Directrix, she has offered Amadin and I a safe haven should we travel to the Gate.  So kind and thoughtful.  She had spoken to Amadin about it.  Amusingly, he could not remember her name, so he described her as the "very blonde lady who runs the Citadel by the Gate."  Oh, Amadin, you do make me laugh.
