[Okay, so, spending a week as an owl in her favorite tree watching the castle scramble over an upsetting incident she couldn't help in was pretty much the worst. Once she's caught herself up by reading the journals and asking around, she gets out her own journal and begins to write something she was going to do before last week.

Fucking timing. Remind her to inscribe yet another failing grade into the castle's walls later.]

My apologies for the poor timing of the castle, everyone. It deemed it a great idea to have me changed into an owl for the past week, entirely unable to help. How is everyone faring now?

[Filtered AWAY from Veteran Mercenary Echidna]

Though there remains one problem. A few weeks ago, the castle saw it fit to bring another from my world here. Quite possibly the worst choice it could have made. Her name is Echidna, a fellow elf, and you'll know her by the snake around her waist and her inability to behave herself. It would behoove you to ignore her, or if you are forced to interact with her, make it minimal and stand your ground. Do not provoke her; she is an incredibly capable opponent and unafraid of cheating to win.

I will be keeping as much of an eye on her as I can, no matter how long the castle intends to keep her here.

[Addressed only to the women minus Veteran mercenary Echidna]

I especially advise you all to watch yourselves around Echidna. She has a fondness for the ladies, and is not picky about whom she targets. You will find yourself on the end of her amorous affections, whether you want to or not. She is invasive, perverse, and has no sense of personal space, caring not if you consort with women or otherwise.

If she does anything to you, please inform me right away. I'll deal with it. For those that do not know me, my name is Alleyne. Get in contact with me however you can when you can if needed.

I can only pray she's behaved herself in my absence, though I doubt it.

[Addressed only to the men]

Echidna cares not for men on any level. Please watch yourselves and do not take it personally if she attacks you, nor think that she is in nay way representative of my world. Try to keep contact with her minimal, no matter how unjust her words and actions may be.

If she attacks you, let me know and I'll sort her out. If you've no idea who I am, I'm Alleyne, and you can get into contact with me any time if Echidna's involved. It's the least I can do.

[With that, though, she'll be in the courtyard, stretching out and swinging her weapon around, getting some basic exercise in. A week as a bird is a week too much. Open over the journal or in person.]

What is there to twist? Either you're involved with her or you aren't, and you certainly seem involved.

[disciplines]

You're going to have to trust me when I say I'd rather not, but I'm the only one who knows how....invasive she can get.

[themistress]

Oh, she's invaded you? I thought you were a virgin.

[disciplines]

She never went that far! And I never asked for it! Just like I didn't with you! I'm still quite chaste and have no intentions of being otherwise, thank you very much!

[themistress]

Such a waste.

[disciplines]

I don't see how so, but you'll just have to learn to live with it. You've done well enough so far, I'm sure you can continue to survive without knowing certain things about me.

[themistress]

And one can survive just fine while eating nothing but stale bread, but why would anyone want to? Try a little cake, sweetling.

[disciplines]

Take your own advice. There does exist too much of a good thing. I've made it this far as I am, there's no need to fix what isn't broken.

[Two proverbs in one!]

[themistress]

There's no such thing as too much of a good thing. That's a crock of shit coined by those who never had any of the good thing in the first place.
