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.

Constanin is celebrating with his comrades from LUMEN.  I am far too tired too join them, so I shall wait for him to return, although it was quite the task to persuade him to go.  They are celebrating a task well done on Anath, and quite rightly so.  I caught the very end of the ceremony, just as Constantin, who looked to proud and handsome, was giving an acceptance speech for a reward he has more than earned for the kindness he has shown and his devotion to duty.  Apparently, I missed some drama when Aldrith gave his own, somewhat controversial speech.  I worry for Aldrith, he seems much changed from when I knew him so long ago.  I think the sheer number of trials we must endure wear on him terribly.

Ishta also received an award, though for what I am not sure, and she sustained some form of injury.  Of more serious concern to me, however, is the fact that she appears to be "dating" a Naval Intelligence Officer, and I have very strong suspicions that Officer is Alexandr.  Scandalous!  I shall have to speak with Alexandr as soon as I seem him next, and do my very best to dissuade him from a foolish fancy that whilst no doubt passing, could very well damage our family's reputation.  With Constantin's family being of such high standing, I cannot possibly allow that.

Constantin says he has a surprise for me, but I have no idea what it may be.  I am awfully curious about it.  No doubt all shall be revealed in the morning, and the sooner I sleep, the sooner I will find out.  I must write a very quick but important letter to Admiral Newelle, however.  I need her permission to be able to do what Liana has asked of me.  I pray that she will consider it positively and grant my request.  The possibilities that may follow could be advantageous indeed for a number of people.
