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.

The news is positive of late.  All Imperial systems in the warzone have been liberate from the clutches of the Tribals, and our forces shall now be pushing forwards to drive the enemy back into their holes.  I may even be able to fetch a shuttle that has been lingering in Huola for I do not know how long.

Ishta is to be freed soon, which means that her marriage to Sasha cannot be far away.  I am sure the celebrations shall be magnificent, and a welcome occasion of joy for the people of Nakri.  My sister to be is also close to securing her capsuleer's licence.  I shall be interested to see how her career in that field develops.  It rather encourages me to engage in more productive efforts myself.

I had the most unexpected communication today - a Colonel Sokolov of the Ministry of Internal Order.  Obviously their presence here makes perfect sense, given recent events, and I am reassured that they are here, I just did not expect to be contacted myself by the man now leading investigations; I would have presumed he would wish to speak with Papa.

Even less expected was just what sort of a man Colonel Sokolov is.  Aside from the odd coincidence of him sharing his family name with our Security Chief, though I do not believe them related, his manner was not exactly what I would associate with a MIO officer.  Perhaps the best way to describe his mannerisms and pattern of speech is as relaxed?  He certainly has a confidence about him, which comes as little surprise given the number of awards he had pinned to his chest.  A veteran of a number of engagements, including the Elder Invasion.  He is most certainly an interesting man.  Audacious, too - I can think of no-one who would, apropos of absolutely nothing, suddenly ask me to join him for dinner this very evening at one of Nakri's most exclusive and finest restaurants.  I said yes.

I suppose I had better chose something appropriate to wear.  It promises to be a most entertaining evening.  I am sure we have much to talk about.
