Begin personal log, Thursday May 14th 111.
The video entry begins, showing Kimochi standing in a different quarters to before. It is a huge open-plan apartment, with doors leading to different rooms, suggesting that the quarters are much bigger than just this one huge room. It is much larger than her previous one, and is very stylishly decorated. The room itself is an interesting mix of Gallente and Caldari styling, with soft spot-lighting giving a homely yet stylish feel. Most of Kimochi's personal effects appear to have been unpacked, and she seems to have bought a large amount of new (and very expensive looking) furniture. There are a few small boxes still dotted around however. On one side is a huge armourglass window looking outside the station, and on the other side is a glass screen-door leading to a spacious wood-decked balcony that overlooks the entertainment and shopping concourse with a bubbling 7-seater hot tub.
The camera follows Kimochi as she places bottles of liquor in a large illuminated glass drinks cabinet situated behind a black granite-topped bar in the main living area.
So the move is finally over with... I had a little 'chat' with the station administrator - Uma Tyrell - and managed to ensure our members where given the nicest apartments on the station. A few of them where already occupied, but a few credits here and a careful explaination there, and they soon saw our point of view. I still can't believe we are actually setting up shop in a CONCORD station of all places! I must say, find the irony quite delicious...
The move itself went off almost flawlessly... Tasaka did have his Sigil blown up by a Veto gang as he was bringing in a few bits and pieces to refit my Harbinger... Fortunately a there was not a large amount of monetary loss, and I have promised to replace Tasaka's ship with a Blockade Runner as soon as he is able to pilot one effectively. I've also applied for him to join PRELI so that this doesn't happen again. The families of his crew have all been paid off as usual, and the Veto pilots have made it clear that they are very sorry... Not their fault really. Despite that little hiccup everyone seems to be settling in nicely, and we're even had a few joint operations with Veto which have been met with reasonable success considering our unfamiliarity with the region.
I've yet to have a proper look around Sinq Laison myself yet. The administration that comes with moving an entire corp from one side of the cluster to the other, combined with having to pack up everything I own, then unpack it again - coupled with buying an entire apartment's worth of new furniture has left me with little time to do any actual pirating... A fact I am hoping to put right at some point this week. Oh, and I've been thinking recently about buying a Zealot Heavy Assault Cruiser... I've heard very good things about them, and I'm finally able to use one to it's full potential. I'll use that while I'm training my missile support skills up to a point where I can use that Sacrilege the corp bought me for my anniversary.
She dusts off a bottle of luminous blue liquor and places it in the drinks cabinet, closing the glass doors. She heads over to a set of very stylish and expensive looking leather sofas in a circular depressed section of the floor, in the middle of which is a fire pit with a stainless steel smoke extractor over the top and sits down, kicking off her shoes.
Fire on.
The fire pit switches on automatically, bathing the room in a warm glow. Kimochi visibly relaxes against the sofa and closes her eyes for a moment.
I think I'm going to like it here.
She opens on eye and grins at the camera.

Burnout
Begin personal log, Friday May 1st 111.
I've been feeling really burnt-out recently. Just the thought of jacking into my pod is giving me a headache, so I decided to take the last few days off. I spent some time planetside, got some actual fresh air for a change... It's weird how much you appreciate the simplest of things, like being able to stand on actual soil and take a deep breath of unprocessed air, or even feel the wind on your face. Things that people like me don't get to experience every day... Sometimes I envy the ground-pounders and their naive simplicity. Sometimes.
I caught up with Rathera again and took her out to the promenade on the Ishomilken station. Anyone would have thought she'd never been in a shop before, judging by the look on her face as we browsed through a few different stores... I gave my advice on a few outfits, and we bought a few things. I probably shouldn't spend money in places non-capsuleers frequent, but what the hell... There where some good items there, and Rathera looks beautiful when she takes the time dress up. I hope she enjoyed herself, and I gave her a few ideas for the future in any case.
I also spent some time with Nausea, and we had a kind of 'girls' night in'... It turns out we have very similar interests, and I had such a good time with her. I think she had fun too... Apart from anything else, it was nice to just be able to relax and do what I want... It's nice to know that she still considers me a friend, even after almost a year. We have a lot to catch up on, and I made her promise to come visit me someday.
Oh, which reminds me I must speak to Kyoko, preferably in-person. I'll see if Tasaka can pick up a bottle of Soju from Rens for her... It's remarkably hard to get hold of in Devoid, and I'm still not exactly sure what Kyoko's opinion of me is. She's a hard one to read, but I figure it's probably best to take a peace offering with me anyway.
As for Vince... Well, he's up and about again. The raid to rescue him from the station's infirmary went off without a hitch. It even made the local news. I don't think either he or Kelsy trust me still... I can't really say I blame them. I suppose it's better for all involved if I stay away for a while...
