Rox's Tiny Leather Journal [OOC welcome!]

Sometimes it takes something terrible and drastic happening to show you your mistakes.  I had another journal before this, but it's at the bottom of the sea with all of my other worldly possessions, aside from what I could grab when I noticed my houseboat going down.  I managed to grab my dagger and shield, my purse, and my boots.  You ever try swimming in boots?  It's terrible.

 

I used my gil to get this book and a pen, a backpack, and a ticket for the airship.  I lost my only real friend here in Limsa Lominsa, and then I lost my home, so you know what's next?  Time to get off my ass and seek some adventure!  I'll check back in once I'm settled in.  Ul'dah!  The desert!  I can't wait!  There's no more room in this world for lazy do-nothings!

What a trip!  The airship ride was a great way to start my day.  I got into Ul'dah right around breakfast time, using my last gil to get some spiced bread and milk.  I wasn't expecting this place to be so big!  I got immediately lost, but a refugee pointed me towards a place to get work.  I started small, hunting down pests in Central Thanalan, and around lunchtime I stopped at the big ol' Sultantree to sit down and eat a meager lunch I'd purchased with my wages.  I met a man there, a man from my tribe no less!  He was hiding from someone and I thought he might be a bandit at first, but he has kind eyes and a great smile.  His name is B'rahz and we were fast friends.  I shared my meal and found out he and his boss were headed to my neck of the sea the very next day!  Can you imagine?

 

I met Boss, well, A'tirramei.  She's really pretty and seems sweet, I can see why she needs a bodyguard.  This town is rough, someone might haul her off if she's not careful.  I offered to guide them around Limsa Lominsa when they head out that way, so long as they're okay with delaying their trip while I finish the jobs that I took.  Can you believe that they agreed?  I'm even staying with A'tirramei tonight, I get a room and a ticket for free!  I feel more confident in my decision to take up adventuring now that I've made a couple of friends.  I just never expected to head home so soon, hah!
