Sunday - 22th. April.

Today started out perfect and I honestly thought, we would get a grand evening.
So much to do, when you are suppose to hold a wedding reception.

Cala were so kind, giveing me a hand with the arrangements and I am thankful, that she took her time.
Like me - She wanted to give Abi and Conan a special day and hopefully something to remember.

We managed to get hold on Mic - the Craftie from Vesper.
I explained to him, what I had in mind and then we left him to alone, so he could work, while Cala and I splitted up in two.

Cala would go grab the cakes, we had ordered from the bakery and I went down to the butcher after the meat.
Returning to the Swaggers, we started to prepair the meat.
Bleh, I got so sore feet right now.

Abi were stopping by now and then - but Cala and I didn't tell her anything, apart from everything were under control and she could just look forward to the evening.

So the tables, chairs, plates, goblets.. the food were ready and I grabbed a fast bath and then got into the dress with the matching hat, that Abi had given me.
We left for Church and then.. then we started to wait..

Life can be so cruel. So terrible, that words can't even explain it.

So we were sitting there, people were arriveing and then..
Then he stood her up. I feel so terrible sorry for Abi and I wished there were something, I could say to make her feel better.

We went back to the Swaggers, after we gave Conan alot of time to get his lousy covian arse to the Church.
Cala went and spoke with the other Covians and then the sad news arrived.
The Covians had not seen Conan and they doubted, that he would show up.

Heartless, cruel fecker!
I hope, yer arse will itch forever and yer arms will be too short to reach!

We brought Abi back and then we left her with some of the other Barmaids. Cala and I rushed off to get all the tables away.
We didn't wanna hurt her more, than she already is.

All we can do now, is hope that Abi won't waste more time on that arse
and, that this episode haven't traumatised her forever.

With this turnout of what were suppose to be a memory, I now know - That I won't ever get married. I said it before - I know. But I am not sure, I could handle it the same way as Abi.

I admire her for keeping her head so high.
I would have been crying my eyes out, if I had been in her shoes.

I just hope, that she know, she got nothing to be ashamed of - that the huge mistake were not her fault.

*The ending ends*

Tuesday - 15th. May

Lately the conversations in Vesper have been about the election.
Politics aint my strong side and with the election moveing closer, I am still in doubt on where to place my vote.

There is a handful of Candidates and some of them are more fitted for the job, than others - thats for sure!

The campaigns laugh must be Rand and Draxie.
- Dear Gawd, have mercy on us!
I dont get along so well with Rand - and with Rand as a Baron, I would prolly find myself tied to a chair made of stone and then PLOP! Free fall from the bridge behind the Swaggers.

Draxie might have a chance, as I believe most people like him - I know, I do.
But mebbe his age is against him - His rather young, if you compair him to the other candidates.
And wouldn't all the paperwork bore Draxie to death?
According to rumours, Draxie and Rand have given up already.
Guess theire "Vote on us, or we will smack your skull in" backfired.

Olk is also a Candidate for the election.
He got some interresting ideas, but would they hold in reality?
He wants civil harmony in Vesper - Which sounds good enough.
More provincial titles - Mayor of Main and West Vesper and
Governorships of Vespenland, Vespenia, Vesparicia and Windemere.
Hmm wont all that just give arguements, when picking who gotta be in charge?

My own favorite is Ikus - Even though, he is from Trinsie.
But Gawd, the jewels we get from him are stunning!
I so far - resieved diamond earrings, diamond bracelet and two diamond necklaces. Yay! Lucky me!
I'm a little concered though - Is he gonna turn us all over to the Loyalists?

Baron Twothumb himself, is also running a campaign.
To be honest, I like things, they way they are - Well, I could do without the wars as they are bad for business. But I am sure the Baron have his reasons. Just wished others wouldn't punish the civvies from Vesper, because of it.

Ugh! Enough about politics!!!

Good news!
Abi stopped by Sunday, with some grand news.
Her and Conan are expecting theire first baby! I am so happy for them.
Furthermore, she asked me to be the Baby's Godmother. Aww, thats so sweet! Oh! It's gonna get so exciteing!
I just hope the baby aint crying, when I am holding it in the Church.
If the baby is crying, I fear - I'll burst into tears aswell.

And more good news!
Shar and Wayland are engaged and are planning theire wedding.
Bleh! Everyone is getting married or haveing Babies!
I guess, we can say, that Spring arrived to Vesper.

A bit of mixed news.

Lisa have stopped working at the Swaggers. I haven't heard it from herself, but from Jackal. Apparently there have been another episode, between Kiran and the Staff. Gawd dammit!
According to Jackal, Kiran should have slapped Lisa - And then she didn't wanna work at the Swaggers anymore. Jackal is going with her to Trinsie. Guess once a Loyalist - always a Loyalist.

I spoke with Kiran about it. And he explained that the Swaggers have had a visit from the Church in Cove. Apparently Lisa should have been cheeky to the great annoyance of the Templar - Bleh, I do wonder why, they come in the first place.. I thought the Churchies was staying away from the Swaggers - As drinking is a sin?
Oh well, I will end in the Abyss then - for lureing Lads to drink more. Atleast, I wont be alone - Bet Kiran and some of the others will be there too!

I am a little concered for both Lisa and Jackal.
Jackal is wanted by the Guards in Vesper - They claim he is a Traitor and that he had been giveing aid to the Trinsians and apparently wounded a Guard from Vesper.
Hmm, better tell Jackal to be careful. You never know, what the Guards will do to him, if they find him - So mebbe, its better he avoid Vesper for a while..

I found a replacement for Lisa. Her name is Angelica Wish. And She seems like a nice lass. I gave her the whole tour yesterday and ofcause there is alot to remember with the prices on the diffrent rooms, drinks, meals and such. But I am sure, she will be fine. Like I told her, she can just ask me or any of the Staff, if she got a question.

She apparently know Kiran - And Gerek.
When I told Gerek, that we got ourself a New Barmaid named Angelica Wish - He was in panic!
Apparently he thought, he had been in a relationship with her and cheated on her. Turns out, that he cheated on someone with her.

Right, more later...
Gotta pick up some crates with ale and stock up..

Friday - 18th. May

So it's the day after Olk's election party and I feel somewhat tired.
I believe some Vesperians, will have some nasty hangovers, but atleast there is a cure for that
- Deuce's life elixir. Yup, yup - That will cure it!

From what I heard, people consider the party a success, which is a relief.
I was a little stressed in the beginning, because it started out with rain.
God got a sick sense of humor - But apparently, he reconsidered, when I threathend to burn down every Church, I could find - if he didn't stop the rain.
Tadaaaa, that worked!!

I asked Dalla, if she would get the Packie and then start to pack the bottles in the bags, so it was ready.
The furnitures arrived and then it hit me.. We needed some decoration for the tables.
Ahh, Lyonya and a handful of Guards came to my rescue.
Instead of flowers - They went to get the mushrooms, Olk love so much.

Angie, our new - But hardworking barmaid helped painting and setting up the furnitures, while I went to get bedrolls and towels.
When I returned with it - I struggled with the colour of the towels.
I asked Olk, if he could help me and get the towels in the right Vesper-red.

Gnomy - That lil' Darling was running around and from what I could see, he was a little restless. So I asked, if he wanted to lend a hand.
This is what I love so much about Vesper - When there is a event, people can stand together and help eachother getting things ready.
Gnomy was laying mushrooms and placeing lanterns on the tables..
And then he helped with the bedrolls and towels, after I told him how I wanted things.

Gia arrived - Thank Gawd, before the Guests.
I asked her to go find the books, we had used for the "Twisted Swaggers".
So the whole thing was ready. We had the tables and chairs, decorations, bedrolls, towels and the drinks and torches leading people from the Swaggers down to the beach.

Then Sir Llandrell arrived and asked what we were doing.
Ahem! Another little error
- I forgot to ask Lord Desuri premession to use the beach for the party.
I was somewhat worried, when he lead me to the office. Thought he was gonna yell at me.
Bless him though, we got the premession and he saw nothing wrong with it aslong, as we didn't breake the Dragoni laws.

Outside again and then get changed into some bathing clothes.
There was hawt guys in shorts. And a topless Vesperian - Lyonya!
Oh speaking of her - Rumours are saying, that Rand boinked Ly on one of the bedrolls!

The guest arrived and so did more of the Staff.
Lyim - That git picked me up and litterly throw me into the sea! And all I did was sting some water at him with my fingertips!
Men overreact! Seriously just a few drops of water!

Then we began to play Twisted - The books were sold for 20 doubloons
and I believe, the guests had a great laugh. I know - I had.
I think, some of it was way too much for the Lads, I mean Van had to walk off and Gnomy had to run to the sea to cool down.

So late in the evening, the Guests started to head - or stagger home.
I had given my word to Llandrell, that the Dragonis wouldn't notice we had been there - apart from the footprints.
So when the last guest left, I began to tidy up after the party.

I returned to the Swaggers afterwards and picked up the shopping list Gerek had made for me earlier.
I enjoyed a goblet of wine, while I waited for dawn. Then I grabbed the Packhorse and went out to fetch supplies.
When I returned, I had everything on the list.
Gerek emptied the bags on the horse and I went home and collapsed on my bed..

Right, I need to check the papers so I can see how much Olk owes the Swaggers..Hope he won't get a heartattack, over the bill...

Thursday 14th. June

Bleh, some weeks it have been recently.

Since the explotion, that blow a wall of the Citadel in Stonekeep - the Yewians have been visiting Vesper the last few days.

Tuesday they arrived with more than a handful of Guards.
The Vesperians were a bit outnumbered, but I had faith in them - It takes more than a little outnumbering to get Vesperians.

The Yewians wanted to ask questions to both the Veeties and the Guardsmen of Vesper, but Draxie wasn't really in the mood for haveing a chit-chat with them and in the end, it did show.
I doubt, there will ever be peace between Vesper and Yew - Our believes and goals are so diffrent..

I didn't agree with the tactic Draxie had in up his sleeve.
Gawd did we pay for it yesterday - Yeeeeeeeeees Sir!

The Vesperians were going inside the Swaggers - Leaveing the Yewians outside and then they started to disguss how to deal with the Yewians.

I tried to protest, as I really felt, they were bringing the Staff and the Swaggers in danger, useing the Inn as theire battlefield - But the time was really, really bad... and Draxie was about to fight the Yewians and my guess is - he just thought I was beeing hysterric.

Well, In a way - Draxie's tactic worked. The Vesperian Militia didn't suffer any losses and the Yewians had to limp home without any answers to theire questions.

I had a bad feeling about it and I tried to explain my frustrations and my worries to Olk. Things just got very misunderstood and yesterday my fears became a reality.

We were at the Swaggers and chatting with the few Vesperians who were inside and then the Kaldorians who stopped by for a pint and a chat.
They are great, I like them.
Anyways - The Yewians arrived and a Yewian Footman came inside and ordered all Staff at the Swaggers outside, as the was a message for the Veeties.

They wanted to line us up outside, but a Yewian must have grabbed for Cala - Because all the sudden the Kaldorians was attacking!
I were like "What the feck?!" When Draxie ordered the Vesperians to step down and not take part. Thank Gawd Esca were there, he ignored Draxens orders and the Vesperian Guards started to chase the Yewians.

- Bleeding hell! I got a shock! I just stood pressed up against the wall, hopeing that someone wouldn't fire a bolt, swinging an axe or a hally at me!

Gorn resived a nasty cut on his thigh and Cala asked me to help her stitch the wound together. When I were done tending the wound, Gorn were ordered to follow - the battle wasn't over, as I first thought.

Then Van or Jackal came running, claiming that the Yewians had kidnapped Kiran. Mmm this might sound cold but to be honest, I had my doubts.
Kiran just aint the type, that gets caught..

The Yewians came back, but no sign of Kiran and then the Heir Caden D'Gar delivered the message.
With the episode the day before, the Yewians told me, that if the Vesperian Militia was found fighting the Yewians from the Swaggers. They would burn it down and we would be considered to have sympathy for the 'Rebels'.

I tried to explain to that stubborn and ignorant Halfbreed, that I actually had tried to ask the Vesperian Militia, not to use the Swaggers. But the Heir didn't listen - it was like speaking to a door. ´
The Kaldorians and some of the Vesperian Guards attacked again. And this time, it was worse... and I guess, the Yewians won this round.

Commander Soulshadow returned limping and Gawd she was furious. According to her and some of the other Kaldorians, Kiran had attacked them! The minute they said that, it just felt like time was standing still and I was standing outside myself.. Just watching the madness.

Deep inside, I knew the Kaldorians wasn't lying and I wished, Kiran never had told me about his past, cause then I would have been able to doubt the Kaldorians words..

And when Kiran got back, I didn't raise a finger to try stop the Commander from beating Kiran. I just watched and the thought that harrashed my mind was just - "Finish him of! Grab a mace, smack his skull in... Just finish it!"

Kirans explanation didn't impress me at all.
He claimed that, the Yewians had used his daugthers final resting place against him and forced him to attack.

Lies. IT'S ALL A LIE! Can't they see it??!
The Man killed his own child, because she was born diffrent!!

But who am I to judge anyone?
I am no better than Kiran. I don't tell them, nor do I warn anyone against him and that makes me, just as bad as him...

*Some spilled ink covers the rest of the page*

Rebecca · 26th June 2007, 04:15 AM

Tuesday 26th. June.

I were contacted by Gorn yesterday, because he had an idea.
He wanted to arrange something for the other Kaldorians and that was were the Veeties got into the picture.

He wanted to arrange a tavern night in the Strongholt after the Kaldorians were done with theire training.
I got fond of the idea, because - It was a opertunity to see another tavern and blow some life into it.

With the tensions between Trinsie and Kaldor - The Kaldorians have visited the Swaggers alot and made alot of Barmaids smile, because they are grand tippers and one favor is worth another, so I accepted.

Apparently we needed everything.

I returned to the Swaggers and wrote Susanna a letter. We needed some Kaldorian looking uniforms. Gawd, I luv' that mute Tailorlass!
She arrived and I took her downstairs and I showed her the notes. After a while, the Susanna had produced the uniforms.

When Susanna left, I released another pigeon and send it to a Tinker I know.
I needed some goblets and plates in the Kaldorian colours and I asked her to deliver it at the Swaggers.

I found Angie upstairs and told her about the upcomming job.
I handed her some notes and asked her to make some menu-cards for the tavern-night. Bless her, she didn't mind, writeing the menu-cards.

I wrote Cala a letter and the reply was as I hoped - She would take care of the food and drinks.

I rushed of to the Strongholt and returned back with Gorns aproval of the uniforms. Phew!
Then I just needed another Barmaid and a Lass, that would be willing to strip.
So the Staff were: Angie, Cala, Misty and myself.
The stripper were Lucy a lass, that had done this several of times. Gawd that lass was popular! Mebbe it was her innocent look?

We also brought the books for some Twisted, if they wanted to play games.

With everything beeing ready, we began to make our way towards the Strongholt. Afterall there was alot to set up and get ready.

So we arrived at the Strongholt and the lasses took a peek around. We had a good laugh at the pole, they have upstairs.. but hey! Now I can brag about, that I actually danced by the pole. Not infront of the Kaldorians though - It was for a handpicked Audience. My Veeties.

So with everything ready, we started to wait for the Kaldorians.
After an hour - They arrived and then things started to kick off.
Lucy took her audience with storm. Never have I seen guys, give away coins that fast! It was hillarious.

I do agree with Maam Soulshadow though.. Next time, we need some male Strippers! Hmm.. I wonder, if I can talk Gerek into it. I mean, he stormed around in Cove with nothing but a apron!

We did well concerning, that the Tavern wasn't crowded with people.
We managed to pull home - small 10.000. Which aint bad at all.
Think of the coins, we can pull home - If the place could get crowded..

We didn't play Twisted. But that don't scare me. Mebbe the Twisted are just too.. Vesperian for the Kaldorians.
Mebbe the Kaldorians prefer something, where they can show the audience, that they are strong?

Oh! I just got an idea! I need to get back to the Strongholt though and do a little research... Mmm and talk Gerald into it too.
Gonna hear Gorn, what he thinks about the idea... It will be such a laugh.

Hmm I better get going. Got some thing to take care of.

Rebecca · 20th August 2007, 07:39 PM

Monday, 20th.

So much have happend over the last few weeks and I haven't been able to find the time to scribble.
Either I have been busy or too exhausted, when I finally managed to get to bed.

Weeks ago, I was contacted by Elliot Heath.
He was sick and tired of Kiran and wanted to sell his part of the Swaggers Inn to me, for a mere 1000 golden ingots - if I fired Kiran from the Manager job.

What could possible be better?
Me - Full Owner of the Swaggers Inn. Gawd, I loved the thought of it.
But still, Kiran have always done alot of things for the Swaggers
- And for me.

When Heath left me to think about the offer. I did think, not so much about fireing Kiran. But more on how to pull the scheme of. I went downstairs and found Reywal and Kiran there. I trust both of them to some sort of limit and I was quiet sure, Kiran would help me with the scheme - All, I had to do was just trying to convince him.

Now that was sure as hell easier said than done!
Kiran ain't the Guy who does such things for free. And I was too greedy to give him some part of the Swaggers. What started as a jest soon turned into reality.

I told Kiran, that I would do anything - If he just would help me out. Still he replied no. Not even the pouting or the begging helped! !!!!!!!!

I thought about it for a while and then I looked at him and said, that I would bed him for a whole month, if he would just help with my scheme.
To my surprise, he accepted.. However he takeing it somewhat more seriously, than I did myself and shortly after, Reywal had made the gawd darn contract!

The plan was rather simple.
Kiran would be 'Fired' from the Swaggers Inn, untill I resived the documents from Heath. Afterwards, I would re-hire Kiran and Heath wouldn't be able to do shite about it, as he already had resived his golden ingots.

The trade went without any problems and Heath didn't suspect anything.
My largest problem was Kiran though - Had to make up all sort of excuses to avoid him. From buying dresses in Brittain, to - I had a meeting here and there. But with time, I guess Kiran just shrugged and decided to give up.

I did tell Hanse about the whole thing. The scheme, the contract and everything. Hanse - That Sweetheart, didn't seem to mind it though.
He just told me to find him, if Kiran decided to claim anything.

The week after, I got the largest surprise of them all.
Anna Maria is back and hopefully for good this time. I missed her so much!

But apparently, she wasn't so happy with spotting Kiran behind the bar.
She did attack him several of times, claimed that Kiran had tried to kill her and truth be told - The Swaggers were a total war-zone, when Anna and Kiran were in the same room.
Thank Gawd, they sorted it out. The tensions between them are gone.

I resived a letter, that made me both happy and then very sad.
My poor, poor Wesley...

I scribbled a reply back to him and send him my green lucky bandana. Hopefully that will cheer him up a little, until his back home at the Swaggers.
Need some Mercenaries, who are willing to risk theire arses to get Wesley out.
If the price is right, Everything can be bought..

Ahh two more days, and I am going to Angies and Demos' wedding.
It's gonna be excited and I am really happy for her. However, I hate the fact, that she left us for helping out Demos' Family with theire Tavern. Bugger it!
Angie still stops by now and then and it will prolly be easier to get some wine from the Tremere's now Angie is in the picture.

I hate to admit it - But I was deadly jealouse today.
Adelle was at the Swaggers with her 8 week old son.. He looked so cute.. But instead of congratulateing her - I had a outburst of jealousy.

It's like they don't see how much it hurts me!
They come walking in, show of theire gawd darn cute babies!
And then I sit there, knowing I aint able to get any of my own!
Bloodi hurts..It actually feels like salt in a wound..
The Staff have turned into Baby-popping Wenches!!
First Abi, then it was Amanda, Cala - after she left and now Adelle..

Ugh! I hate to apologise. However - I am going to.

More later..

Rebecca · 11th October 2007, 10:51 AM

Thursday 11. October.

Since things have been very quiet in Vesper, I talked with the Veeties and we decided to try out a Vesper Fair.
The Fair went on last Saturday and even though, not as many as we hoped showed up - It was a pleasant evening.

I had a bit of back problem so I asked Heddy for help to arrange some sort of Tournament
and since he was in charge of that - He decided the rules.
Now the tournament was interresting - Everyone had theire favorite.

In the end - Thaur Macil was the winner and the lovely title of "Swaggers Champion".
I hope the Staff and the guests enjoyed themself, as much as I did.

Hedlyn was released some weeks ago from the jails and God -
- It's great to have him back with us.
Now we just need Wesley back - Then things are back to normal.
I still haven't heard anything from Wesley, not since the last letter.
I hope he is alright and still cope'ing.

Sunday, Hedlyn resieved a note from one of his friends in Skara Brae.
His friend had apparently seen a little girl looking like Hedlyns daugther
wander around on her own by the moongate.
The friend had spoken with her, found out it was Sioned
and then he had brought her to the Inn
and started to wait for Hedlyn's arrival.

Hedlyn told me about the note and then we went to the moongate in a hurry.
We went down to the Inn and then asked the Innkeeper about were Sioned was
- Unfortunally, there was no Sioned and Hedlyn got worried. After a few moments,
Hedlyn thought, that his friend had mistaken the tavern for the Inn
so off we went..

And outside the Inn, there she was...
She is so adorable! A little Angel and I felt the sting of pain again,
not beeing able to have my very own little Angel..
We brought her back to the Swaggers were I gave her some cookies and some cold milk.

She told about Molly's new Husband - Apparently the lil' one missed her Dad so much, that she decided to run of and try find him.
I'm just reliefed, that she managed to step through the moongate to Skara Brae and not ending up in Skara Brae in Felucca.

We decided to bring her to my House and my guestroom will now serve as Sioned's room.
I managed to find some of my old toys for her. We watched her play with them for a little and then she was tired
- Afterall, it had been a hard day for a five year old.

Hedlyn tugged her in and we said good night to her and went downstairs.
I told Hedlyn, that he should try track down Molly, to let her know Sioned was alright and was in Vesper with him.
He didn't wanna see her, but I managed to get him to scribble her a letter.

All there is, to do now - Is hope that Molly will accept Sioned wanna be with her Dad..

Mmm more later, Gotta catch the Tailor about some clothes for Sioned.

Rebecca · 1st November 2007, 12:37 PM

Thursday 1. October

Things have been incredible quiet in Vesper.
No Vesperian Guards, no Orcs and no visits from the Covians..

Things are going well with Sioned and I have'nt really been messing around lately.
Then I walked up to the Swaggers and find Andrea and Hedlyn - Naked.
Normally I would'nt have reacted to strongly, but the thing that made me suspicious and angry were that Andrea was trying to hide.
She failed however and I got so angry at Hedlyn, that I told him he could sleep in the stable, as I didn't want his sorry arse inside the house.

I must admit I got hurt and the only thing I wanted was revenge.
Oh Gawd, I wanted revenge!

So the best oppertunity walked in the Swaggers - Locke.
Hedlyn can't stand Locke, so without Hedlyn in the House, I decided to bring Locke home. Suits Hedlyn.

So still - No reaction from Hedlyn, what so ever!
He were just sitting there with his smile and his giggle and claimed, that he didn't do anything.

I then decided, after realizeing that it didn't hurt Hedlyn as much as I were hurt.
So when Hedlyn went home to tug in Sioned, I decided to bring home Reywal, Gia, Andrea and Faust.

We went to the bathroom and while Faust were in the tub with us three lasses, Reywal was makeing drawings. If I aint all wrong, I think Reywal would sell the drawings - Even though he said he would'nt do that. But everything can be bought for the right price, right?

Yesterday Angie, Kyte and myself went to the Haloween party in Yew.
I were dressed up as a Devil in red with small red horns and a fork.
Angie came as a Witch and she quickly changed her name to Angelice Witch instead of Angelica Wish.
I ain't sure, what Kyte was dressed up as - But I think, he were a Ghost.

Angie and I had each our stall. I were selling candy and Angie were selling potions. I managed to pull home 2986 doubloons, which I placed in the shelfs.
I don't know, how much Angie made.

There were a also a prize for the best Custome. And if I do remember correct, it was Gwen from the Elvern Quarter, who ran of with the prize.
She were dressed up as a Savage woman. Very convinceing she was.

When I went back to the stall after we found out who won.
There were a note left for me.

I should'nt have been so naive.
The note were just a trap to lure me out and I was beaten rather bad.
Someone dislikes me and apparently thought, I deserved a beating.
Mmm, I can't think of anyone who really hates me so much, that they were willing to spends doubloons on makeing sure, I got a beating.

And I swear it, I have'nt been messing around with married men for - Well long!

More later. I got something to take care of.

Rebecca · 15th November 2007, 03:44 AM

Thursday 15. November.

Even though Vesper is so quiet - That the silence, almost drives me insane
the Veeties do theire best to keep themself entertained, while they wait for Customers to arrive.

Last week, I were tidying up in the attic.
I found some of Dad's old chests, holding old armor, kilts, skullscaps cutlass's, some black old flags, tattered old maps with huge X's on them.
I opended another chest and there I fell over alot of fishing-nets. Truth be told - I can't imagin my Dad to sit on his ship and fish..
I mean, the old !!!!!!!, prefer Grog, Rum and Wenches.

Anyways - With the lack of Customers, I decided to bring the fishingnets with me to the Swaggers, were I found the - Always loyal Veeties
Angie, Declan and one of our new faces - Tony.

I told them about my cunning plan! We were gonna go out fishing! Personally, I hoped for a mother fecker huge chest loaded with doubloons!
But.. A handful of doubloons, would also be accepted!

Now I have this lil' boat, Dad gave me, before he dissapeared, so all we had to do was choose a Captain for a day!
Dad would be so ashamed. Beeing a daugther of a Pirate and without the slightest clue, how to control a fecking boat!
- But thank Gawd, I aint the only one lacking knowledge about boats!

Tony was rather quiet. And I have - according to Locke, a tendensy to sink them, by just looking at them!
I swear, it was a accident! Must have been some crappy boat, I borrowed from the shores in Vesper! CLEARLY!
Now Angie, well she got a thing with bridges and since we were outside the Swaggers and there is loads of bridges,
Angie didn't get many votes either! So Declan finally volenteered to be our Captain and of we went - Or... Is it out?

We sailed out and I handed out a green fishingnet for each one of us.
And then we tossed them in, one at the time. We didn't catch any huge chests, filled with gems and doubloons, but only some Sea Serpents,
Water Elementals and a nasty orange one with long whipping arms!

When the pesky creatures were slayed, we picked up the doubloons, they had been eating from other unlucky Sailors.
I suggested, we took theire hides aswell - Because Susanna, the Swaggers Seamstress could make some armor for the Veeties in need.

We pushed our luck a bit too far. There were some coloured fishingnets aswell, and Tony hurled a net out!
Ow! Ow! Ow!
If the Orange fecker, that hit us before were tough, the ones we pulled in now were far worse.
First Declan got knocked of his feet, then my mind went black, and I aint sure which ones of the Crew who then fell.

When we finally got back to our senses, the wind had moved us so far away from Vesper and closer to Trinsie.
We decided - Prolly because of the bruises, lumps and wounds, that we had done enough fishing. So we sailed to the docks in Trinsie, gave the Tillerman orders to sail my boat back
to Vesper and then we went towards the moongate.

- - - - - - - - - -
Wesley finally got managed to escape the British Port Authority.
He dressed up as a woman and somehow managed to fool the feckers! Har!
Thats what you get for keeping a Veetie behind bars.

However - Heddy did ask me some days, before Wesley escaped, if Wesley knew about him and me.
Blergh! No! I ain't sure what Heddy exspected, but I could'nt tell Wesley, while he was behind bars.That would just be too mean.
But the question didn't stop there... Heddy wanted to know, what I would do when Wesley got out and he asked me to be honest about it.
For once, I actually were. I told him, like it was - I didn't know.

The day, Wesley ented the door to the Swaggers... I spotted him, rushed up to him and hugged and kissed him.
Telling him how great it was to see him. Gawd, I had missed him, so much - My charming Captain, were back in Vesper.

Wesley were tired after the trip home and I followed him upstairs and Wesley fell asleep, while I were laying next to him.
I couldn't keep my hands from him. I keept running my fingers over his hair, so reliefed that he was back hom and safe.
Sitting here now and thinking back at that day - I hate to admit it, but Hedlyn weren't even in my thoughts.

- - - - - - - - - -

I were in Yew the other day. I went to check on Heddy's house in what they call Nihon. I will never learn the way through the forest,
I always get lost! - However, there is one thing I learned though! The fecking Yewians are a bunch of dogs! All of them! Bloodi backstabbers!
When I left Heddy's house, it was almost eve and I got changed into the Veetie clothes, cause it was my turn to stay in the bar.

I decided, that since I am total helpless in the yewish forest and didn't have time to waste beeing lost, I follow the road through Stonekeep.
I checked, I had the 50 doubloons for the tax and then of I went.
When I reached the Crossroads outside Stonekeep, there was this huuuuuge shrine!

And then the first lesson came - The Yewish Guardsmen, don't have any humour - What so ever!

I walked up to them - Said hello and then added "Wauw! I didn't know the Yewish preferred a mess this big" - Followed by a chuckle.
Then the D'Gar Guard just frownded and then he was sure, he had seen me before. Now here, I made my second mistake.
But, I honestly thought we were on neutral terms with the Yewians. They mind theire business and we mind ours.

I told him, that I was from Vesper. And Helloooooooo!!!
- We have been at theire Tavern Nights, Some of them visited the Vesper Fair, Theire Baron - Caden had hired us as dancers for his
Gentleman Night... But no!

They hate Vesper, as much as I hate Macil!

A Guard raised his mace, maul - Whatever and aimed a wack for me! I bloodi didn't do anything!
I lifted my arm up to parry his blow... With that quencequense that my arm broke! Fecking hell, that did hurt!
I bursted out, while hugging my broken arm, what the feck they were doing and then ofcause I called them arseholes or something like that.

Then I just heared the click and the next thing I saw, was the Rookie aiming for me... The bolt came through the air, as fast as a Vesperian Mage can cast a lightning strike and
the bolt pierced it's way through my shirt and into my side! Oh Gawd... I can't think of anything else, that hurts that much!
Well, mebbe the 17 lashes I had under the wars with them in Minoc.

I was told to leave and trust me - There was nothing more I wanted to!
If I have had, any scrolls - I would have opend the books and get the feck out before they could have said "OI LASS!"
A Besieger keept following me, aiming pointless hits for me..

I nay get it.
Why do the yewish Guards, see Civvies as threats.

Only good thing about it - THEY DIDN'T GET ANY FECKING TAX!
Suits the Bastards and I swear, they will get what they deserve!

More later..

Monday 10. December

Even though, I knew the risk - I continued to ignore it.
And now I pay the price. I lost Hedlyn, because I cheated on him.

In the past, when I came clean - Heddy didn't make a fuss about it.
That my first mistake - Thinking, that he didn't get hurt as it was just 'sex'.

I can't look at him, without my eyes begins to burn and I really struggle not to burst into tears. Gawd, I hate myself so much - That the hate I have against the Yewians, are like water compaired to how much I hate myself.

There are so many things, I wanna say to him.. But I don't know how to start.
How come the words easily goes down on my papers?
But they are so hard to say?

I’m sorry

I'm sorry for all the times, I made you cry
I’m sorry for every single lie

Sorry I couldn’t make you smile
Sorry I didn’t make you stay a while

Sorry it was nothing more than sex
I’m sorry I have to call you my ex

I’m sorry, I broke your heart
I’m sorry, that I tore you apart

I’m sorry we can’t get along
I’m sorry, I cry to every song

I’m sorry I hide when you come around
I hang my head, eyes always on the ground

Sorry I never meant it so much
Sorry you are my Man, I love to touch

I’m sorry for all the pain I've caused
I’m sorry for all the broken trust

I’m sorry I pushed you away
I’m sorry I don’t deserve you in any way

I’m sorry cause I belive, we are meant to be
And I’m sorry if you hurt just like me.

... So easy on paper.

We opend the doors to the Tavern in Yew.
Things went alright, considering we didn't advertise for it.
Van, Jake and Tom stopped by and a hanfull of Covians.

I spoke with the Covian tonight - But I'm in doubt.
She claimed, the Covians wanted to keep neutral terms, if the Guards from Yew decide to attack the Swaggers, for suporting the Yewish Rebellion.
Apparently in some way the Covians sympatise with the Rebels..

But Cove earlier had some Alliance with Vesper and then they turned
theire backs on us when we needed them the most..
I'm gonna speak with Esca, hear what he thinks about it and so on.

Heddy and Declan left early and I just finished up cleaning Declans wounds.
Apparently he jumped the Lord Protector - and his mount.

Maaaan, not the wisest move - But He'll survive the bruises and cuts..
Thank Gawd, Heddy returned without any injuries..

More later, really not in the mood to scribble..

Rebecca Join Date: Oct 2006 Shard/Server: Europa Posts: 698 My Mood: Thanks: 3 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Sunday - 22th. April. Today started out perfect and I honestly thought, we would get a grand evening. So much to do, when you are suppose to hold a wedding reception. Cala were so kind, giveing me a hand with the arrangements and I am thankful, that she took her time. Like me - She wanted to give Abi and Conan a special day and hopefully something to remember. We managed to get hold on Mic - the Craftie from Vesper. I explained to him, what I had in mind and then we left him to alone, so he could work, while Cala and I splitted up in two. Cala would go grab the cakes, we had ordered from the bakery and I went down to the butcher after the meat. Returning to the Swaggers, we started to prepair the meat. Bleh, I got so sore feet right now. Abi were stopping by now and then - but Cala and I didn't tell her anything, apart from everything were under control and she could just look forward to the evening. So the tables, chairs, plates, goblets.. the food were ready and I grabbed a fast bath and then got into the dress with the matching hat, that Abi had given me. We left for Church and then.. then we started to wait.. Life can be so cruel. So terrible, that words can't even explain it. So we were sitting there, people were arriveing and then.. Then he stood her up. I feel so terrible sorry for Abi and I wished there were something, I could say to make her feel better. We went back to the Swaggers, after we gave Conan alot of time to get his lousy covian arse to the Church. Cala went and spoke with the other Covians and then the sad news arrived. The Covians had not seen Conan and they doubted, that he would show up. Heartless, cruel fecker! I hope, yer arse will itch forever and yer arms will be too short to reach! We brought Abi back and then we left her with some of the other Barmaids. Cala and I rushed off to get all the tables away. We didn't wanna hurt her more, than she already is. All we can do now, is hope that Abi won't waste more time on that arse and, that this episode haven't traumatised her forever. With this turnout of what were suppose to be a memory, I now know - That I won't ever get married. I said it before - I know. But I am not sure, I could handle it the same way as Abi. I admire her for keeping her head so high. I would have been crying my eyes out, if I had been in her shoes. I just hope, that she know, she got nothing to be ashamed of - that the huge mistake were not her fault. The ending ends __________________

Rebecca Join Date: Oct 2006 Shard/Server: Europa Posts: 698 My Mood: Thanks: 3 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Tuesday - 15th. May Lately the conversations in Vesper have been about the election. Politics aint my strong side and with the election moveing closer, I am still in doubt on where to place my vote. There is a handful of Candidates and some of them are more fitted for the job, than others - thats for sure! The campaigns laugh must be Rand and Draxie. - Dear Gawd, have mercy on us! I dont get along so well with Rand - and with Rand as a Baron, I would prolly find myself tied to a chair made of stone and then PLOP! Free fall from the bridge behind the Swaggers. Draxie might have a chance, as I believe most people like him - I know, I do. But mebbe his age is against him - His rather young, if you compair him to the other candidates. And wouldn't all the paperwork bore Draxie to death? According to rumours, Draxie and Rand have given up already. Guess theire "Vote on us, or we will smack your skull in" backfired. Olk is also a Candidate for the election. He got some interresting ideas, but would they hold in reality? He wants civil harmony in Vesper - Which sounds good enough. More provincial titles - Mayor of Main and West Vesper and Governorships of Vespenland, Vespenia, Vesparicia and Windemere. Hmm wont all that just give arguements, when picking who gotta be in charge? My own favorite is Ikus - Even though, he is from Trinsie. But Gawd, the jewels we get from him are stunning! I so far - resieved diamond earrings, diamond bracelet and two diamond necklaces. Yay! Lucky me! I'm a little concered though - Is he gonna turn us all over to the Loyalists? Baron Twothumb himself, is also running a campaign. To be honest, I like things, they way they are - Well, I could do without the wars as they are bad for business. But I am sure the Baron have his reasons. Just wished others wouldn't punish the civvies from Vesper, because of it. Ugh! Enough about politics!!! Good news! Abi stopped by Sunday, with some grand news. Her and Conan are expecting theire first baby! I am so happy for them. Furthermore, she asked me to be the Baby's Godmother. Aww, thats so sweet! Oh! It's gonna get so exciteing! I just hope the baby aint crying, when I am holding it in the Church. If the baby is crying, I fear - I'll burst into tears aswell. And more good news! Shar and Wayland are engaged and are planning theire wedding. Bleh! Everyone is getting married or haveing Babies! I guess, we can say, that Spring arrived to Vesper. A bit of mixed news. Lisa have stopped working at the Swaggers. I haven't heard it from herself, but from Jackal. Apparently there have been another episode, between Kiran and the Staff. Gawd dammit! According to Jackal, Kiran should have slapped Lisa - And then she didn't wanna work at the Swaggers anymore. Jackal is going with her to Trinsie. Guess once a Loyalist - always a Loyalist. I spoke with Kiran about it. And he explained that the Swaggers have had a visit from the Church in Cove. Apparently Lisa should have been cheeky to the great annoyance of the Templar - Bleh, I do wonder why, they come in the first place.. I thought the Churchies was staying away from the Swaggers - As drinking is a sin? Oh well, I will end in the Abyss then - for lureing Lads to drink more. Atleast, I wont be alone - Bet Kiran and some of the others will be there too! I am a little concered for both Lisa and Jackal. Jackal is wanted by the Guards in Vesper - They claim he is a Traitor and that he had been giveing aid to the Trinsians and apparently wounded a Guard from Vesper. Hmm, better tell Jackal to be careful. You never know, what the Guards will do to him, if they find him - So mebbe, its better he avoid Vesper for a while.. I found a replacement for Lisa. Her name is Angelica Wish. And She seems like a nice lass. I gave her the whole tour yesterday and ofcause there is alot to remember with the prices on the diffrent rooms, drinks, meals and such. But I am sure, she will be fine. Like I told her, she can just ask me or any of the Staff, if she got a question. She apparently know Kiran - And Gerek. When I told Gerek, that we got ourself a New Barmaid named Angelica Wish - He was in panic! Apparently he thought, he had been in a relationship with her and cheated on her. Turns out, that he cheated on someone with her. Right, more later... Gotta pick up some crates with ale and stock up.. __________________

Rebecca Join Date: Oct 2006 Shard/Server: Europa Posts: 698 My Mood: Thanks: 3 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Friday - 18th. May So it's the day after Olk's election party and I feel somewhat tired. I believe some Vesperians, will have some nasty hangovers, but atleast there is a cure for that - Deuce's life elixir. Yup, yup - That will cure it! From what I heard, people consider the party a success, which is a relief. I was a little stressed in the beginning, because it started out with rain. God got a sick sense of humor - But apparently, he reconsidered, when I threathend to burn down every Church, I could find - if he didn't stop the rain. Tadaaaa, that worked!! I asked Dalla, if she would get the Packie and then start to pack the bottles in the bags, so it was ready. The furnitures arrived and then it hit me.. We needed some decoration for the tables. Ahh, Lyonya and a handful of Guards came to my rescue. Instead of flowers - They went to get the mushrooms, Olk love so much. Angie, our new - But hardworking barmaid helped painting and setting up the furnitures, while I went to get bedrolls and towels. When I returned with it - I struggled with the colour of the towels. I asked Olk, if he could help me and get the towels in the right Vesper-red. Gnomy - That lil' Darling was running around and from what I could see, he was a little restless. So I asked, if he wanted to lend a hand. This is what I love so much about Vesper - When there is a event, people can stand together and help eachother getting things ready. Gnomy was laying mushrooms and placeing lanterns on the tables.. And then he helped with the bedrolls and towels, after I told him how I wanted things. Gia arrived - Thank Gawd, before the Guests. I asked her to go find the books, we had used for the "Twisted Swaggers". So the whole thing was ready. We had the tables and chairs, decorations, bedrolls, towels and the drinks and torches leading people from the Swaggers down to the beach. Then Sir Llandrell arrived and asked what we were doing. Ahem! Another little error - I forgot to ask Lord Desuri premession to use the beach for the party. I was somewhat worried, when he lead me to the office. Thought he was gonna yell at me. Bless him though, we got the premession and he saw nothing wrong with it aslong, as we didn't breake the Dragoni laws. Outside again and then get changed into some bathing clothes. There was hawt guys in shorts. And a topless Vesperian - Lyonya! Oh speaking of her - Rumours are saying, that Rand boinked Ly on one of the bedrolls! The guest arrived and so did more of the Staff. Lyim - That git picked me up and litterly throw me into the sea! And all I did was sting some water at him with my fingertips! Men overreact! Seriously just a few drops of water! Then we began to play Twisted - The books were sold for 20 doubloons and I believe, the guests had a great laugh. I know - I had. I think, some of it was way too much for the Lads, I mean Van had to walk off and Gnomy had to run to the sea to cool down. So late in the evening, the Guests started to head - or stagger home. I had given my word to Llandrell, that the Dragonis wouldn't notice we had been there - apart from the footprints. So when the last guest left, I began to tidy up after the party. I returned to the Swaggers afterwards and picked up the shopping list Gerek had made for me earlier. I enjoyed a goblet of wine, while I waited for dawn. Then I grabbed the Packhorse and went out to fetch supplies. When I returned, I had everything on the list. Gerek emptied the bags on the horse and I went home and collapsed on my bed.. Right, I need to check the papers so I can see how much Olk owes the Swaggers..Hope he won't get a heartattack, over the bill... __________________

Rebecca Join Date: Oct 2006 Shard/Server: Europa Posts: 698 My Mood: Thanks: 3 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Thursday 14th. June Bleh, some weeks it have been recently. Since the explotion, that blow a wall of the Citadel in Stonekeep - the Yewians have been visiting Vesper the last few days. Tuesday they arrived with more than a handful of Guards. The Vesperians were a bit outnumbered, but I had faith in them - It takes more than a little outnumbering to get Vesperians. The Yewians wanted to ask questions to both the Veeties and the Guardsmen of Vesper, but Draxie wasn't really in the mood for haveing a chit-chat with them and in the end, it did show. I doubt, there will ever be peace between Vesper and Yew - Our believes and goals are so diffrent.. I didn't agree with the tactic Draxie had in up his sleeve. Gawd did we pay for it yesterday - Yeeeeeeeeees Sir! The Vesperians were going inside the Swaggers - Leaveing the Yewians outside and then they started to disguss how to deal with the Yewians. I tried to protest, as I really felt, they were bringing the Staff and the Swaggers in danger, useing the Inn as theire battlefield - But the time was really, really bad... and Draxie was about to fight the Yewians and my guess is - he just thought I was beeing hysterric. Well, In a way - Draxie's tactic worked. The Vesperian Militia didn't suffer any losses and the Yewians had to limp home without any answers to theire questions. I had a bad feeling about it and I tried to explain my frustrations and my worries to Olk. Things just got very misunderstood and yesterday my fears became a reality. We were at the Swaggers and chatting with the few Vesperians who were inside and then the Kaldorians who stopped by for a pint and a chat. They are great, I like them. Anyways - The Yewians arrived and a Yewian Footman came inside and ordered all Staff at the Swaggers outside, as the was a message for the Veeties. They wanted to line us up outside, but a Yewian must have grabbed for Cala - Because all the sudden the Kaldorians was attacking! I were like "What the feck?!" When Draxie ordered the Vesperians to step down and not take part. Thank Gawd Esca were there, he ignored Draxens orders and the Vesperian Guards started to chase the Yewians. - Bleeding hell! I got a shock! I just stood pressed up against the wall, hopeing that someone wouldn't fire a bolt, swinging an axe or a hally at me! Gorn resived a nasty cut on his thigh and Cala asked me to help her stitch the wound together. When I were done tending the wound, Gorn were ordered to follow - the battle wasn't over, as I first thought. Then Van or Jackal came running, claiming that the Yewians had kidnapped Kiran. Mmm this might sound cold but to be honest, I had my doubts. Kiran just aint the type, that gets caught.. The Yewians came back, but no sign of Kiran and then the Heir Caden D'Gar delivered the message. With the episode the day before, the Yewians told me, that if the Vesperian Militia was found fighting the Yewians from the Swaggers. They would burn it down and we would be considered to have sympathy for the 'Rebels'. I tried to explain to that stubborn and ignorant Halfbreed, that I actually had tried to ask the Vesperian Militia, not to use the Swaggers. But the Heir didn't listen - it was like speaking to a door. ´ The Kaldorians and some of the Vesperian Guards attacked again. And this time, it was worse... and I guess, the Yewians won this round. Commander Soulshadow returned limping and Gawd she was furious. According to her and some of the other Kaldorians, Kiran had attacked them! The minute they said that, it just felt like time was standing still and I was standing outside myself.. Just watching the madness. Deep inside, I knew the Kaldorians wasn't lying and I wished, Kiran never had told me about his past, cause then I would have been able to doubt the Kaldorians words.. And when Kiran got back, I didn't raise a finger to try stop the Commander from beating Kiran. I just watched and the thought that harrashed my mind was just - "Finish him of! Grab a mace, smack his skull in... Just finish it!" Kirans explanation didn't impress me at all. He claimed that, the Yewians had used his daugthers final resting place against him and forced him to attack. Lies. IT'S ALL A LIE! Can't they see it??! The Man killed his own child, because she was born diffrent!! But who am I to judge anyone? I am no better than Kiran. I don't tell them, nor do I warn anyone against him and that makes me, just as bad as him... *Some spilled ink covers the rest of the page* __________________

Rebecca Join Date: Oct 2006 Shard/Server: Europa Posts: 698 My Mood: Thanks: 3 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Tuesday 26th. June. I were contacted by Gorn yesterday, because he had an idea. He wanted to arrange something for the other Kaldorians and that was were the Veeties got into the picture. He wanted to arrange a tavern night in the Strongholt after the Kaldorians were done with theire training. I got fond of the idea, because - It was a opertunity to see another tavern and blow some life into it. With the tensions between Trinsie and Kaldor - The Kaldorians have visited the Swaggers alot and made alot of Barmaids smile, because they are grand tippers and one favor is worth another, so I accepted. Apparently we needed everything. I returned to the Swaggers and wrote Susanna a letter. We needed some Kaldorian looking uniforms. Gawd, I luv' that mute Tailorlass! She arrived and I took her downstairs and I showed her the notes. After a while, the Susanna had produced the uniforms. When Susanna left, I released another pigeon and send it to a Tinker I know. I needed some goblets and plates in the Kaldorian colours and I asked her to deliver it at the Swaggers. I found Angie upstairs and told her about the upcomming job. I handed her some notes and asked her to make some menu-cards for the tavern-night. Bless her, she didn't mind, writeing the menu-cards. I wrote Cala a letter and the reply was as I hoped - She would take care of the food and drinks. I rushed of to the Strongholt and returned back with Gorns aproval of the uniforms. Phew! Then I just needed another Barmaid and a Lass, that would be willing to strip. So the Staff were: Angie, Cala, Misty and myself. The stripper were Lucy a lass, that had done this several of times. Gawd that lass was popular! Mebbe it was her innocent look? We also brought the books for some Twisted, if they wanted to play games. With everything beeing ready, we began to make our way towards the Strongholt. Afterall there was alot to set up and get ready. So we arrived at the Strongholt and the lasses took a peek around. We had a good laugh at the pole, they have upstairs.. but hey! Now I can brag about, that I actually danced by the pole. Not infront of the Kaldorians though - It was for a handpicked Audience. My Veeties. So with everything ready, we started to wait for the Kaldorians. After an hour - They arrived and then things started to kick off. Lucy took her audience with storm. Never have I seen guys, give away coins that fast! It was hillarious. I do agree with Maam Soulshadow though.. Next time, we need some male Strippers! Hmm.. I wonder, if I can talk Gerek into it. I mean, he stormed around in Cove with nothing but a apron! We did well concerning, that the Tavern wasn't crowded with people. We managed to pull home - small 10.000. Which aint bad at all. Think of the coins, we can pull home - If the place could get crowded.. We didn't play Twisted. But that don't scare me. Mebbe the Twisted are just too.. Vesperian for the Kaldorians. Mebbe the Kaldorians prefer something, where they can show the audience, that they are strong? Oh! I just got an idea! I need to get back to the Strongholt though and do a little research... Mmm and talk Gerald into it too. Gonna hear Gorn, what he thinks about the idea... It will be such a laugh. Hmm I better get going. Got some thing to take care of. __________________

Rebecca Join Date: Oct 2006 Shard/Server: Europa Posts: 698 My Mood: Thanks: 3 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Monday, 20th. So much have happend over the last few weeks and I haven't been able to find the time to scribble. Either I have been busy or too exhausted, when I finally managed to get to bed. Weeks ago, I was contacted by Elliot Heath. He was sick and tired of Kiran and wanted to sell his part of the Swaggers Inn to me, for a mere 1000 golden ingots - if I fired Kiran from the Manager job. What could possible be better? Me - Full Owner of the Swaggers Inn. Gawd, I loved the thought of it. But still, Kiran have always done alot of things for the Swaggers - And for me. When Heath left me to think about the offer. I did think, not so much about fireing Kiran. But more on how to pull the scheme of. I went downstairs and found Reywal and Kiran there. I trust both of them to some sort of limit and I was quiet sure, Kiran would help me with the scheme - All, I had to do was just trying to convince him. Now that was sure as hell easier said than done! Kiran ain't the Guy who does such things for free. And I was too greedy to give him some part of the Swaggers. What started as a jest soon turned into reality. I told Kiran, that I would do anything - If he just would help me out. Still he replied no. Not even the pouting or the begging helped! !!!!!!!! I thought about it for a while and then I looked at him and said, that I would bed him for a whole month, if he would just help with my scheme. To my surprise, he accepted.. However he takeing it somewhat more seriously, than I did myself and shortly after, Reywal had made the gawd darn contract! The plan was rather simple. Kiran would be 'Fired' from the Swaggers Inn, untill I resived the documents from Heath. Afterwards, I would re-hire Kiran and Heath wouldn't be able to do shite about it, as he already had resived his golden ingots. The trade went without any problems and Heath didn't suspect anything. My largest problem was Kiran though - Had to make up all sort of excuses to avoid him. From buying dresses in Brittain, to - I had a meeting here and there. But with time, I guess Kiran just shrugged and decided to give up. I did tell Hanse about the whole thing. The scheme, the contract and everything. Hanse - That Sweetheart, didn't seem to mind it though. He just told me to find him, if Kiran decided to claim anything. The week after, I got the largest surprise of them all. Anna Maria is back and hopefully for good this time. I missed her so much! But apparently, she wasn't so happy with spotting Kiran behind the bar. She did attack him several of times, claimed that Kiran had tried to kill her and truth be told - The Swaggers were a total war-zone, when Anna and Kiran were in the same room. Thank Gawd, they sorted it out. The tensions between them are gone. I resived a letter, that made me both happy and then very sad. My poor, poor Wesley... I scribbled a reply back to him and send him my green lucky bandana. Hopefully that will cheer him up a little, until his back home at the Swaggers. Need some Mercenaries, who are willing to risk theire arses to get Wesley out. If the price is right, Everything can be bought.. Ahh two more days, and I am going to Angies and Demos' wedding. It's gonna be excited and I am really happy for her. However, I hate the fact, that she left us for helping out Demos' Family with theire Tavern. Bugger it! Angie still stops by now and then and it will prolly be easier to get some wine from the Tremere's now Angie is in the picture. I hate to admit it - But I was deadly jealouse today. Adelle was at the Swaggers with her 8 week old son.. He looked so cute.. But instead of congratulateing her - I had a outburst of jealousy. It's like they don't see how much it hurts me! They come walking in, show of theire gawd darn cute babies! And then I sit there, knowing I aint able to get any of my own! Bloodi hurts..It actually feels like salt in a wound.. The Staff have turned into Baby-popping Wenches!! First Abi, then it was Amanda, Cala - after she left and now Adelle.. Ugh! I hate to apologise. However - I am going to. More later.. __________________

Rebecca Join Date: Oct 2006 Shard/Server: Europa Posts: 698 My Mood: Thanks: 3 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Thursday 11. October. Since things have been very quiet in Vesper, I talked with the Veeties and we decided to try out a Vesper Fair. The Fair went on last Saturday and even though, not as many as we hoped showed up - It was a pleasant evening. I had a bit of back problem so I asked Heddy for help to arrange some sort of Tournament and since he was in charge of that - He decided the rules. Now the tournament was interresting - Everyone had theire favorite. In the end - Thaur Macil was the winner and the lovely title of "Swaggers Champion". I hope the Staff and the guests enjoyed themself, as much as I did. Hedlyn was released some weeks ago from the jails and God - - It's great to have him back with us. Now we just need Wesley back - Then things are back to normal. I still haven't heard anything from Wesley, not since the last letter. I hope he is alright and still cope'ing. Sunday, Hedlyn resieved a note from one of his friends in Skara Brae. His friend had apparently seen a little girl looking like Hedlyns daugther wander around on her own by the moongate. The friend had spoken with her, found out it was Sioned and then he had brought her to the Inn and started to wait for Hedlyn's arrival. Hedlyn told me about the note and then we went to the moongate in a hurry. We went down to the Inn and then asked the Innkeeper about were Sioned was - Unfortunally, there was no Sioned and Hedlyn got worried. After a few moments, Hedlyn thought, that his friend had mistaken the tavern for the Inn so off we went.. And outside the Inn, there she was... She is so adorable! A little Angel and I felt the sting of pain again, not beeing able to have my very own little Angel.. We brought her back to the Swaggers were I gave her some cookies and some cold milk. She told about Molly's new Husband - Apparently the lil' one missed her Dad so much, that she decided to run of and try find him. I'm just reliefed, that she managed to step through the moongate to Skara Brae and not ending up in Skara Brae in Felucca. We decided to bring her to my House and my guestroom will now serve as Sioned's room. I managed to find some of my old toys for her. We watched her play with them for a little and then she was tired - Afterall, it had been a hard day for a five year old. Hedlyn tugged her in and we said good night to her and went downstairs. I told Hedlyn, that he should try track down Molly, to let her know Sioned was alright and was in Vesper with him. He didn't wanna see her, but I managed to get him to scribble her a letter. All there is, to do now - Is hope that Molly will accept Sioned wanna be with her Dad.. Mmm more later, Gotta catch the Tailor about some clothes for Sioned. __________________

No Vesperian Guards, no Orcs and no visits from the Covians.. Things are going well with Sioned and I have'nt really been messing around lately. Then I walked up to the Swaggers and find Andrea and Hedlyn - Naked. Normally I would'nt have reacted to strongly, but the thing that made me suspicious and angry were that Andrea was trying to hide. She failed however and I got so angry at Hedlyn, that I told him he could sleep in the stable, as I didn't want his sorry arse inside the house. I must admit I got hurt and the only thing I wanted was revenge. Oh Gawd, I wanted revenge! So the best oppertunity walked in the Swaggers - Locke. Hedlyn can't stand Locke, so without Hedlyn in the House, I decided to bring Locke home. Suits Hedlyn. So still - No reaction from Hedlyn, what so ever! He were just sitting there with his smile and his giggle and claimed, that he didn't do anything. I then decided, after realizeing that it didn't hurt Hedlyn as much as I were hurt. So when Hedlyn went home to tug in Sioned, I decided to bring home Reywal, Gia, Andrea and Faust. We went to the bathroom and while Faust were in the tub with us three lasses, Reywal was makeing drawings. If I aint all wrong, I think Reywal would sell the drawings - Even though he said he would'nt do that. But everything can be bought for the right price, right? Yesterday Angie, Kyte and myself went to the Haloween party in Yew. I were dressed up as a Devil in red with small red horns and a fork. Angie came as a Witch and she quickly changed her name to Angelice Witch instead of Angelica Wish. I ain't sure, what Kyte was dressed up as - But I think, he were a Ghost. Angie and I had each our stall. I were selling candy and Angie were selling potions. I managed to pull home 2986 doubloons, which I placed in the shelfs. I don't know, how much Angie made. There were a also a prize for the best Custome. And if I do remember correct, it was Gwen from the Elvern Quarter, who ran of with the prize. She were dressed up as a Savage woman. Very convinceing she was. When I went back to the stall after we found out who won. There were a note left for me. I should'nt have been so naive. The note were just a trap to lure me out and I was beaten rather bad. Someone dislikes me and apparently thought, I deserved a beating. Mmm, I can't think of anyone who really hates me so much, that they were willing to spends doubloons on makeing sure, I got a beating. And I swear it, I have'nt been messing around with married men for - Well long! More later. I got something to take care of. __________________

Rebecca Join Date: Oct 2006 Shard/Server: Europa Posts: 698 My Mood: Thanks: 3 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Thursday 15. November. Even though Vesper is so quiet - That the silence, almost drives me insane the Veeties do theire best to keep themself entertained, while they wait for Customers to arrive. Last week, I were tidying up in the attic. I found some of Dad's old chests, holding old armor, kilts, skullscaps cutlass's, some black old flags, tattered old maps with huge X's on them. I opended another chest and there I fell over alot of fishing-nets. Truth be told - I can't imagin my Dad to sit on his ship and fish.. I mean, the old !!!!!!!, prefer Grog, Rum and Wenches. Anyways - With the lack of Customers, I decided to bring the fishingnets with me to the Swaggers, were I found the - Always loyal Veeties Angie, Declan and one of our new faces - Tony. I told them about my cunning plan! We were gonna go out fishing! Personally, I hoped for a mother fecker huge chest loaded with doubloons! But.. A handful of doubloons, would also be accepted! Now I have this lil' boat, Dad gave me, before he dissapeared, so all we had to do was choose a Captain for a day! Dad would be so ashamed. Beeing a daugther of a Pirate and without the slightest clue, how to control a fecking boat! - But thank Gawd, I aint the only one lacking knowledge about boats! Tony was rather quiet. And I have - according to Locke, a tendensy to sink them, by just looking at them! I swear, it was a accident! Must have been some crappy boat, I borrowed from the shores in Vesper! CLEARLY! Now Angie, well she got a thing with bridges and since we were outside the Swaggers and there is loads of bridges, Angie didn't get many votes either! So Declan finally volenteered to be our Captain and of we went - Or... Is it out? We sailed out and I handed out a green fishingnet for each one of us. And then we tossed them in, one at the time. We didn't catch any huge chests, filled with gems and doubloons, but only some Sea Serpents, Water Elementals and a nasty orange one with long whipping arms! When the pesky creatures were slayed, we picked up the doubloons, they had been eating from other unlucky Sailors. I suggested, we took theire hides aswell - Because Susanna, the Swaggers Seamstress could make some armor for the Veeties in need. We pushed our luck a bit too far. There were some coloured fishingnets aswell, and Tony hurled a net out! Ow! Ow! Ow! If the Orange fecker, that hit us before were tough, the ones we pulled in now were far worse. First Declan got knocked of his feet, then my mind went black, and I aint sure which ones of the Crew who then fell. When we finally got back to our senses, the wind had moved us so far away from Vesper and closer to Trinsie. We decided - Prolly because of the bruises, lumps and wounds, that we had done enough fishing. So we sailed to the docks in Trinsie, gave the Tillerman orders to sail my boat back to Vesper and then we went towards the moongate. - - - - - - - - - - Wesley finally got managed to escape the British Port Authority. He dressed up as a woman and somehow managed to fool the feckers! Har! Thats what you get for keeping a Veetie behind bars. However - Heddy did ask me some days, before Wesley escaped, if Wesley knew about him and me. Blergh! No! I ain't sure what Heddy exspected, but I could'nt tell Wesley, while he was behind bars.That would just be too mean. But the question didn't stop there... Heddy wanted to know, what I would do when Wesley got out and he asked me to be honest about it. For once, I actually were. I told him, like it was - I didn't know. The day, Wesley ented the door to the Swaggers... I spotted him, rushed up to him and hugged and kissed him. Telling him how great it was to see him. Gawd, I had missed him, so much - My charming Captain, were back in Vesper. Wesley were tired after the trip home and I followed him upstairs and Wesley fell asleep, while I were laying next to him. I couldn't keep my hands from him. I keept running my fingers over his hair, so reliefed that he was back hom and safe. Sitting here now and thinking back at that day - I hate to admit it, but Hedlyn weren't even in my thoughts. - - - - - - - - - - I were in Yew the other day. I went to check on Heddy's house in what they call Nihon. I will never learn the way through the forest, I always get lost! - However, there is one thing I learned though! The fecking Yewians are a bunch of dogs! All of them! Bloodi backstabbers! When I left Heddy's house, it was almost eve and I got changed into the Veetie clothes, cause it was my turn to stay in the bar. I decided, that since I am total helpless in the yewish forest and didn't have time to waste beeing lost, I follow the road through Stonekeep. I checked, I had the 50 doubloons for the tax and then of I went. When I reached the Crossroads outside Stonekeep, there was this huuuuuge shrine! And then the first lesson came - The Yewish Guardsmen, don't have any humour - What so ever! I walked up to them - Said hello and then added "Wauw! I didn't know the Yewish preferred a mess this big" - Followed by a chuckle. Then the D'Gar Guard just frownded and then he was sure, he had seen me before. Now here, I made my second mistake. But, I honestly thought we were on neutral terms with the Yewians. They mind theire business and we mind ours. I told him, that I was from Vesper. And Helloooooooo!!! - We have been at theire Tavern Nights, Some of them visited the Vesper Fair, Theire Baron - Caden had hired us as dancers for his Gentleman Night... But no! They hate Vesper, as much as I hate Macil! A Guard raised his mace, maul - Whatever and aimed a wack for me! I bloodi didn't do anything! I lifted my arm up to parry his blow... With that quencequense that my arm broke! Fecking hell, that did hurt! I bursted out, while hugging my broken arm, what the feck they were doing and then ofcause I called them arseholes or something like that. Then I just heared the click and the next thing I saw, was the Rookie aiming for me... The bolt came through the air, as fast as a Vesperian Mage can cast a lightning strike and the bolt pierced it's way through my shirt and into my side! Oh Gawd... I can't think of anything else, that hurts that much! Well, mebbe the 17 lashes I had under the wars with them in Minoc. I was told to leave and trust me - There was nothing more I wanted to! If I have had, any scrolls - I would have opend the books and get the feck out before they could have said "OI LASS!" A Besieger keept following me, aiming pointless hits for me.. I nay get it. Why do the yewish Guards, see Civvies as threats. Only good thing about it - THEY DIDN'T GET ANY FECKING TAX! Suits the Bastards and I swear, they will get what they deserve! More later.. __________________

Rebecca Join Date: Oct 2006 Shard/Server: Europa Posts: 698 My Mood: Thanks: 3 Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post	Monday 10. December Even though, I knew the risk - I continued to ignore it. And now I pay the price. I lost Hedlyn, because I cheated on him. In the past, when I came clean - Heddy didn't make a fuss about it. That my first mistake - Thinking, that he didn't get hurt as it was just 'sex'. I can't look at him, without my eyes begins to burn and I really struggle not to burst into tears. Gawd, I hate myself so much - That the hate I have against the Yewians, are like water compaired to how much I hate myself. There are so many things, I wanna say to him.. But I don't know how to start. How come the words easily goes down on my papers? But they are so hard to say? I’m sorry I'm sorry for all the times, I made you cry I’m sorry for every single lie Sorry I couldn’t make you smile Sorry I didn’t make you stay a while Sorry it was nothing more than sex I’m sorry I have to call you my ex I’m sorry, I broke your heart I’m sorry, that I tore you apart I’m sorry we can’t get along I’m sorry, I cry to every song I’m sorry I hide when you come around I hang my head, eyes always on the ground Sorry I never meant it so much Sorry you are my Man, I love to touch I’m sorry for all the pain I've caused I’m sorry for all the broken trust I’m sorry I pushed you away I’m sorry I don’t deserve you in any way I’m sorry cause I belive, we are meant to be And I’m sorry if you hurt just like me. ... So easy on paper. We opend the doors to the Tavern in Yew. Things went alright, considering we didn't advertise for it. Van, Jake and Tom stopped by and a hanfull of Covians. I spoke with the Covian tonight - But I'm in doubt. She claimed, the Covians wanted to keep neutral terms, if the Guards from Yew decide to attack the Swaggers, for suporting the Yewish Rebellion. Apparently in some way the Covians sympatise with the Rebels.. But Cove earlier had some Alliance with Vesper and then they turned theire backs on us when we needed them the most.. I'm gonna speak with Esca, hear what he thinks about it and so on. Heddy and Declan left early and I just finished up cleaning Declans wounds. Apparently he jumped the Lord Protector - and his mount. Maaaan, not the wisest move - But He'll survive the bruises and cuts.. Thank Gawd, Heddy returned without any injuries.. More later, really not in the mood to scribble.. __________________
