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 visited Sasha as soon as I got to Arx Garum.  He was sleeping, still recovering from his injuries.  The doctors say he is likely to require a replacement eye and hand, but other than that he should fully recover, in time.  Ishta was there, of course, but she barely said two words to me.  She is worried and afraid, which is understandable but sooner or later she will lose Sasha regardless.  Such is the price for immortality.  Major Natashova spoke to me regarding Ishta, telling me she had been tired and stressed.  For all her flaws and doubts, Ishta is quite a gentle, soft soul, deep down.

The team are stood down on Arx Garum until further notice.  They need time to recover and rest.  I, however, have no such luxury.  After seeing Sasha I immediately clone-jumped home to Nakri, then took a shuttle to the State.  LUMEN anti-piracy operations are under way and I must do my part there as well.  I am rather looking forward to being back in a pod, in all truth. It has been some time.

The vodka and bath shall simply have to wait.
