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...

Recovering
Begin personal log, Sunday April 19th, 111.
Kimochi flops down into a large and very comfortable sofa in her quarters. She looks worn out, but appears to be taking care of her appearance again.
These last few days have been... eventful.
I went to The Skyhook on Thursday to try and get back into the swing of things after the drama with Vincent. There I was, chatting to a Star Fraction pilot when Kelsy comes out of nowhere and tries to start a fight with me. I just told her to leave me alone, but some of the things she said really hurt... I needed to be alone for a while so I went into the board room to cool off.
After a while, Vincent came in... I didn't hear him initially, until he let out this horrible wracking cough, as if one of his lungs was dislodging itself. Inevitably, we argued and I cried. It got very heated... He bore his soul to me, and I did the same. All of a sudden, he collapsed and hit his head on the table. Kelsy ran in and started screaming at me... I didn't even touch him...
She sits up in the sofa and pours herself a glass of wine from a bottle on the low table infront of her while she speaks.
I called the emergency team up... His heart actually stopped for a good minute or so, but they eventually stabilized him. He's in the infirmary now, in a coma apparently. I spoke to Myrhial and told her what happened... She seems to believe me. She also thinks that the coma may have something to do with the drugs Vincent has been taking... He never did tell me what they where for, just that he needed them... What a mess.
She takes a sip of the wine and relaxes back into the sofa, crossing her legs.
...Despite everything, I hope he pulls through. I'm worried that if the medical staff figure out what it is that's keeping him in the coma, they'll hand him over to the DED and we'll never see him again. We have to move him to a more secure facility somehow...
I had some business to attend to in Ishomilken, so I decided to say hi to Rathera and Nausea... We had a huge heart-to-heart and I learned a few things I'd never known about Rathera... The poor girl is so naive and innocent in a way. She's also wound up so tight, I'm worried that she might break! I've decided to take it upon myself to teach her a few things that might help her relax a little more. As for Nausea, well... She's still Nausea. She seemed very concerned about me though, and among other things was more than happy to give me a hug and let me cry out the frustrations of the last month on her shoulder.
I also went to go meet Celes Tenebrae... Such an interesting woman. We ended up talking about how the Blood Raiders came to be what they are, and the motivations behind their violent nature. Despite everything, there are more than a few tenets of the Sani Sabik faith that I can't help but agree with... If I where at all religeous minded, I would have probably converted there and then. Celes seemed to take a shine to me... Perhaps because of my Khanid ancestry, or maybe just because I actually kind of sympethize with her situation... She gave me these.
Kimochi reaches into the neck of her dress and pulls out a Dark Blood Crystal Tag on a chain. The tag glitters in the light and makes a soft jangling noise.
I felt it would be rude to refuse such a beautiful gift, but I'll have to keep it hidden. I don't think the other directors would approve.
She unclasps the chain and removes it from her neck, placing it on the table.
I also spoke to Mortis last night about how exactly he came to join us. I suppose in retrospect it makes sense... The reasons might be different, but his problem is by no means a rare one. I know of at least one other person in Ghost Festival with a very similar... issue. Despite that though, he is a nice man and a good friend. I will do everything I can to help him with this, even if i'm unsure what exactly I could do about it.
Oh! And this morning, Mortis and I went for a little roam around Tzvi. My new Curse-class Combat Recon Cruiser - Raging Sin - has been refit and I decided to take her out to see what we can do. Mortis was flying a Vagabond. We managed to catch a Myrmidon on the acceleration gate to an installation in Tzvi and engaged... I managed to drain his capacitor very quickly and kept his drones busy with my own Warriors while Mortis tore into him with his autocannons. Overall I was very impressed with the abilities of the Curse... It's armour is surprisingly resilient, and I held out quite nicely while he had his drones attacking me.
She relaxes back into the sofa, with a genuine smile on her face.
It was a very satisfying kill... I think I'm feeling a bit better about everything too. It's nice to know that there are people out there who care enough about my feelings to talk to me about them. I think I'm going to be okay...
She smiles.

A New Friend
Begin personal log, 15th of April 111. Audio only.
I shouldn't have gone into The Skyhook last night... I caused a bit of a scene and upset a few people. I don't really remember much of it... Crash screwing with my memory again.
Myrhial confiscated my sidearm. I probably said a few things to her I shouldn't have... But what did annoy me was that Vince and Kelsy have basically told everyone that I threatened to kill them. I mean what the hell?? What is with these people, do they think that airing my dirty laundry infront of the entire fucking corp is funny or something?
I shouldn't have yelled at Myrhial though... She's only looking out for the safety of her pilots. I'll contact her today and apologize. Jude caught up with me a while later on the Garden Deck and basically explained how stupid I'd been. He tried to comfort me... Whenever I see them it feels like someone is reaching into my chest and squeezing my heart... Jude seemed to understand and told me a story about a girl he used to know and the rather messy situation he got into with her that ended painfully. I guess it helped a little...
Oh, I almost forgot. I recieved a letter today. An actual physical letter, written on paper and delivered by hand. I've never had one of those before, and I admit I was a little excited when I saw it. What can I say, it's the little things that please me the most...
It was from Celes Tenebrae, a Blood Raider from Molden Heath. Apparently she has a desire to connect more with people of Khanid blood and has invited me to meet with her. I know she's a Blood Raider, but I might take her up on the offer... Who knows, it might help take my mind off of things.
