Often sad and dejected and often happy? Guess I've got a bipolar pony, lol.
Not much striking me for a name for the foal, so I'm just going with Jeneca for her (name of a spell from Everquest, not sure why that came to me). I considered a blade name but figured she wasn't in the military (yet?), so it wasn't appropriate. After consideration, I like Khenal and Dsarker's idea anyway. Flipped a coin and Kris is the name, heh.
Alrighty, Falcata isn't involved in the current scene, so just a journal entry to get me started. For what it's worth, I doubt I'll be able to keep up with the roleplaying Khenal, The Master and Dsarker usually get involved in, considering my schedule, so I'll probably be just dumping out these mini essays with each fort update. I'll get involved with any RPs that would logically involve Falcata though, as time permits.
Falcata's Diary - 6th Moonstone, 98
I heard today that Captain Khenal has resigned from his position as captain of the gaurd. To say that I'm shocked and disappointed would be an understatement.
If I had known what awaited Kris and myself when we were exiled to this place, I would have deserted on the spot and taken my chances elsewhere. I can only thank all that is still good in this world that I did not personally witness many of the foul things that have taken place in this outpost, but I cannot deny that I believe many of the rumors of daemonic possession. I have more respect for Khenal than to ask him to his face if they are true, but I believe them all the same.
The treachery, attempted murders and other worldly corruption filling this place are more than I can willingly stand, and have been for some time. Through all of this, Khenal was the only reason I had any hope for peace. I found him a bit of a curiosity at first, and couldn't believe that an alicorn would lower himself to fighting alongside the common guard. In my time working with him, I've grown to respect him more than anypony else. His dependability, honesty and humility are second to none, and I would prefer to serve under no other.
I once respected Countess Charity for her efforts in turning this place into a functional society instead of the penal camp it was intended for, but after the smuggling incident I don't believe I can say that any longer. I watch my mouth and actions around her more than ever.
To hear that Khenal will be leaving his position is heartwrenching. I have no doubt that his recommendation to promote Isos was well deserved, but my resolve to continue on has all but vanished. I cannot fathom why he would do such a thing, but from what else I know of him, it must have been for a good reason. To see him associating so freely with the murderous Dr. Friesden only worries more. I would never say such a thing publicly, but I hope he has not been taken by one of the evil spirits plaguing this place. We are all doomed if even he could not prevail against them.
I fear I will get little sleep tonight. Perhaps I'll take some time practicing with my hammer some more instead. Best to do something productive at least.
