GhostlyMaiden

I'm going to guess the beginning of June. If we're lucky, then maybe April.

In general, I liked the Heavensward stuff, it had a nice story about the Dragonsong War, but I have to agree with you that the pacing is shitty. One minute we're about to go fight Nidhogg and then suddenly "QUICK GO TO UL'DAH" >_> I also wish they went into more detail about certain aspects of the story. Can we just hang out with Aymeric for now on? Because I don't like the idea of staying with Seventh Dawn peeps forever and ever. It's getting old, like you mentioned, it's the same stuff over and over again except new people and new places. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind that they're alive and well, but let them do their own thing. I'm probably wrong in saying this since I hardly ever do sidequests unless it unlocks something, but wasn't more of the conflict found within side quests and talking to NPCs? I agree that the two house thing happened way too smoothly and realistically, that shit never happens. Can we think of one time in History where the breaking down of a government that has been around for years has ever worked out smoothly? I can't think of anything on the top of my head. The issues of the two houses was just disregarded, it was likely there if you really wanted to believe it, but the quests never went into detail and it is fairly disappointing. I would've loved to see what conflicts would arise from it and who knows maybe we will in future patches. Back in the 2.x MSQ, we did try to take charge and not wait for the Ascians and that was when Moenbryda was around. Maybe if she wasn't dead, we would get more shit done instead of waiting for trouble.

After obtaining the eyes in the last patch, I was like "Awww yeah, now go chop it up into little pieces, step on it a bunch of times, do whatever you have to do to destroy them." But instead, what do we do? WE THROW OFF THE DAMN BRIDGE! RIGHT THEN AND THERE, EVERYONE KNEW THEY WOULD SHOW UP AGAIN! You'd think after the two times with dealing with Nidhogg, WE WOULD BE SMART ABOUT THIS. I'm also ready to get out of Ishgard, but I'm not too excited about Ala Mihgo either.

Lost and confused. She's spiraling down. All the way down. Into the endless abyss. No one will find you there and no one will chase after you. Alone. Marigold spoke in almost a murmur, sitting on a small bed in the inn room. "What if I ran away from it all?" Another voice spoke, a woman's voice whose words spat out like venom. "You tried it once, it failed. If you try it again, what makes you think you'll get any better results? One way or another, you'll crawl right back into trouble. You're drawn to it, you like the thrill." Marigold's hands reached for her head, her fingers combing in to her short, orange hair as she held the strands between her fingers tight. Her eyes were closed, head throbbing. The blue pendant that was always around her neck was glowing brightly as the conversation continued. "No, no I don't! I want to escape it, I don't want to worry about it anymore! I don't want to hurt anyone, I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me, I don't want to make things worst!" The other woman laughed and her laugh sent a chill down Marigold's spine. The woman's voice sounded closer now, almost as if she was right behind her speaking into her ear. "If you hated it so much, you would've left long ago. You would've dealt with the problem directly, kill Tray, then run away. Yet you stay. You don't want to admit it to yourself but you're drawn to him and the trouble that you know will come your way. You refuse to embrace it and it's leaving you in this sorry state." The crying Raen shook her head, now yelling. "JUST SHUT UP!" The voice now drew quieter, as if she had now stepped away. "It all started with that pendant, little do you know it but it serves more purposes than just that pesky aether of yours. Think about it, long and hard, Marigold. When you finally give in and accept your true fate, seek me out again." Marigold finally opened her eyes and jolted up, her breathing was heavy and her eyes red with tear stained cheeks. Quickly looking around the room, the door was closed and no one was there.

Guilty pleasures? Marigold has a few. Drinking: She always had a taste for alcohol but it's only recently picked up and gotten worst for her. She's a heavy drinker and although it helps her at the time, she soon regrets it and hates for anyone to see her that way. However, just like any addiction, she finds herself going right back to it. Trashy romance novels: Because she sure as hells can't keep a relationship, so why not read about other ones? Somnus: Thanks to Tray'ju, she finds herself enjoying the feeling Somnus gets her but does her best to cover it up. If anyone in her free company were to catch her with that stuff, they would no doubt scold her and that is something she would like to avoid.

Marigold's motivations are fairly complicated. Her journey started with her gypsy caravan when all she wanted to be was a 'merchant queen'. Her simple motives turned into rather complicated ones as she slowly lost sight of what she was originally striving for and now, she isn't entirely sure what keeps her motivated. It was magic and power that lead Aulbiene on her current path and still keeps her motivated. Compared to Marigold, despite her personality, had a more simplistic start and it still remains that way.

Kupobot is amazing. Whenever I'm not able to be in-game, I can just use the !company command to figure out what rank our FC is currently at and give me a gauge on what I need to work on when I get home. A nifty lil bot and I love it. For me, I could never use skype because it would run really slowly and actually crash my computer depending on how much I had running (I also have a pretty shitty laptop right now). Discord as a lot of options of how to access it. Very mobile-friendly and just in general, I like it much better.

10/10 Update: -Added a note in the "OOC information" -Our FC name has changed -We don't have a house -Recruitment is now open If you are still interested or have any questions, don't hesitate to send me a PM.

If you're looking for a more antagonistic character, Aulbiene Daiviere is a Duskwight from Ishgard who hasn't been in Eorzea for very long. She grew up poor in the Brume and was taken in by the Astrologians during her teen years. The lifestyle she lives now is the complete opposite from her upbringing as she now looks more like a noble. However, she has a hatred towards the nobles because of the treatment she was given growing up, so she actually finds it rather amusing when people think her to be a noble.

Entry 9 - Delusions of Failure: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - When you find yourself alone for long periods of time, your mind will wander and think of things you wish were left alone. The thought that has dawned on me the most, and always will, is the thought and fear of failure. All my life Within two lifetimes, I have always lived for other. I just wanted them to be happy and be able to live their lives without a worry in the world. For some, I have lived up to those expectations. Waylon is a happy man, Mamiko is safe and making a name for herself, and Danny, that pirate kid, has a stable job on the Docks and is under full protection of the Maelstrom. Alas, they are only the minority. I once chased a man of the void itself and what do I have to show for it? Nothing. I left him behind, I failed him and that is something that will never leave me. With Tray'ju now in my life, I begin to question what exactly he is getting himself into. How far will he go until I'm sent chasing again? I don't wish to find out, I don't wish to fail him. I've cared about a lot of people and failed almost all of them, I don't want him to be one of them. Thus, I shall follow him because I believe in him, I am loyal, and because I don't want him to become lost with the burdens of his problems. I just want this to go right, no matter what bumpy roads may lie ahead. Even as the fear of failure claws at the back of my mind, I will continue forth and make sure I don't make the same mistakes I did before. I've learned to care about this man and will protect him in any way I can. That is what a friend does and should do. - - - - - As I come back to this paper, another thought has dawned on me. What of Nahare and now Hojo? The two people I left behind have somehow manage to spring themselves back in, and I haven't even seen Hojo! I should've known it would've been only a matter of time, for Tray is a criminal and Hojo the hunter. If there is anything I remember about that man, it's that he won't stop until the job is done and no other payments can change his mind. Before I went.....missing....there was a point in time where I didn't see him, I always wondered what happened to him. Perhaps, if there is any chance at all, I can figure that out. However, the chances are slim, for I am now no better than Tray and will only be seen as a target. Even if I still was the woman i once was, I don't think Hojo would show any mercy. Then there is Nahare. It didn't take the woman long to find that scent and ever since I've made damn sure not a single miqo'te will pick up that scent. I left her confused and angered and now, she points the barrel at me. Because of my decisions, I never see us forming any sort of friendship or even alliance for that matter. Does that mean I failed her too? Are some of her pains because of me? I don't have any answers and every time I think of the worse, I take on swig from the glass and hope I can just forget the thought entirely. Unfortunately, it is only a temporary fix. If the mind so desperately wants you to remember something, then not even alcohol will make it go away. All I wanted to do was to keep Kanako from being a burden to them, to put an end to the sorrow she would inevitably bring them. But isn't that what I am doing now? I'm making Nahare unhappy and confused. She points a gun at me and I can see it in her eyes, once I give her that one reason, she won't hesitate to pull the trigger and send me down to my knees. I am left to face the realities of my choices and just like before, I don't like it. I'll make it through, I'll learn to accept the facts, for there is no turning back now. I must accept it.

Recruitment temporarily closed!

Tray'ju and Marigold were just picking up a shipment when someone else caught their attention. Just hanging around. Was super excited to start some of the quests in patch 3.4 when I noticed something wasn't quite right.

I get it! Also, Aaron, I want to duel you just so I can see how quickly I can get my ass kicked. Do I have to put forth 50k?

"Our lord and savi-" *squish* They got what they deserved. The things that primal worshipping does.....tsk tsk.

I basically forgot about Nero and thought we left him behind and World of Darkness raid. It was nice to see Nero......about an entire year later. Still crazy looking as ever.

Please chill, I can barely make 500k off the stuff my retainers sell (depending on the week). Wanna give me 50k for all the PvP duels I lose?

Listening to this while working on some major wiki edits. 4MCjU-Du3eI

The first thing I did when I logged in was duel as a BLM. Out of probably 12 fights, I won 5. >_> I never liked PvP as a BLM since we have basically no defensive abilities, so I just need to figure out an actual strategy because what I have now isn't working, apparently. Once I get Marigold to a good ilvl (so give it 4 months ), then I'll try dueling since I like PvP as a DRG much better.

Hello and Welcome!

I don't think so? I remember back in 3.0/3.1, there weren't that many NPCs hanging around Idyllshire (I could be wrong though), so it's possible he was just added in when they started the gradual construction there.

YES! I was very concerned and just thinking, "Hey now, stop that!" We drank wine. We dead. At least it was a nice dinner.

I imagine that with this patch, you have a lot more to work with given those Ala Mihgo events you run.

Someone just help that poor an already! He was hanging there for what, 3 months?! Is it really going to take another 3 months to actually get him up? In all seriousness, I really like the changes we're seeing in Idyllshire, it all feels very lively now.
