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.

One wonders at times exactly who our enemies are.  I have felt for a long time now that there is a most definite poison running through the veins of our beloved Empire.  Not the obvious heretics and rebels who stand and show their treacherous colours quite openly, but the hidden, insidious figures who profess their dedication and loyalty but at every turn attack and vilify those who defend the Empress and Her subjects.  In all honesty, I would sooner trust Nauplius than that moronic, bitter Yassavi.  At least Nauplius does not pretend to be an ally only to suddenly turn with no cause.

To think that even a heretic such as he shows more support for Aldrith's kind and noble words celebrating our victory and all those who helped bring it about, no matter how large or small their role, than that perpetual embarrassment Saronu, should be shocking.  Alas, it is not.

At least I can say I have some valued friends and allies, who I can truly believe shall bring about a resurrection of proper nobility and honour.  Celeste may be of low-born background, but I can think of few people better suited to being elevated to join our higher ranks than she, and soon enough so she shall be.

Amicia, too, is another rare gem.  I have not had very much opportunity to speak with her, but I can see she is intelligent, driven, and faithful, exactly the sort we need if we are to usher in a new Golden Age.  She is on her way to see me now, and I look forward to our conversation.  I am absolutely sure it shall be most fruitful.
