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.

I met with Commander Adams today.

I will confess, he has a refined taste I did not expect.  A delightful little tea-house, very beautiful and incredibly peaceful.  It would be a welcome oasis in these most troubled times.

I also confess that I may have been a little mistaken about Commander Adams, Edward, himself.  He seems to be quite a sensitive soul, at least when he is on his own.  Perhaps all that bravado and swagger is just an act.  I am not so sure that the reputation he has is entirely deserved.  Of course, there is no smoke without fire, they do say.

His real, unguarded charm is so much more appealing and attractive than his churlish swagger and ridiculous attempts at "animal magnetism".  I am sure Captain Elkin would agree.
