He was there!
We talked for a while. His family is very much into commerce, and he has a wonderful head for numbers. Quite impressive. Coarse, but there is something quite enchanting about him. Sweet, I think.
He was recruited fresh out of the Institute by all accounts. I am not sure by whom, but it seems to have taken him by surprise. I do not see why, he clearly has a raw talents there. He said he had not really thought overly much further towards joining PIE. So I must say I was rather spontaneous when I decided to try a little hand at recruiting him.
Perhaps not just to PIE...
Then it was his turn to be spontaneous. Out of nowhere, just there and then, he asked me if I wanted to go to New Eden and see the EVE Gate with him. Nobody has ever, ever asked me to do that before. Nobody; and here was this complete stranger asking me at the first time of meeting me.
I said yes.
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.
