I was taking a nap... Apparently, during that, Bras tried to kill Argent at the Synod meeting? I don't know what they call their meetings... Anyhow, folk have plenty of reasons to try that, but I'm not sure about his exact motive. Again, because there's a ton of reasons why someone would want to off him! So many reasons, that it's hard to count, and there's probably even more people that hold those reasons. Now, Bras is exiled, and Selwyn's real sad, and mad.

They were like that to begin with. They're just more so, now. It's one of those relationships...? You can't really choose whom you fall for, but... Anyhow, I do feel sad for Selwyn, even if, well. Again, it's like that.

Also, the latest fad among the animals of the Well is tiny little hats! Birds, badgers, rats... They're all donning hats, to look stylish! I approve. However, even in such fashionable attire, they're not welcome to many places. A badger just wanted to do some shopping, and Zizi threw them out! The Rat in the Hat was curious about the Krak's crates, and Caddick chased them out... Life's hard for animals, out here in the Well!

If it's a longer lasting fad, I might try as well pay some bills through it... I already have a commission from an animal, though. Massoud needs a scarf! I'm not sure about the measurements... That pup seems to be getting fatter and fatter. Richo should be a more responsible dog dad!

Kedra runs everywhere! While singing of thunder...? Well, her voice is electric, anyhow. I don't get it. I only run to places when I'm in an awful hurry, or when I want some exercise. Those happen to be the case most of the time, but at least I don't run everywhere while singing. And I sing of much cuter things, like fruit, or peas, while doing so! She's so odd!

Speaking of odd things... Selwyn's so livid, that they tried blowing up the Pilgrim with magick missiles! Which, of course, didn't work, because that spell's not very explosive... Still, it really scared me, because those missiles flew right past my head! If they're going to do stuff like that, I'm not sure if I should be anywhere near them...? I haven't done anything to deserve such from Selwyn, in fact, I've just tried helping them at every turn, when I could do so. I understand that they're having a hard time, but still...

Also, Margarine said that I'm not open-minded, because I only date guys...? That's such a stupid thing to say. She's closed-minded for not accepting me for who I am! I hope that her ice cream melts before she can have any, and that her dolls come to life and run away!

Richo and Massoud visited us! Tonka and Massoud played a game of tag for a while... Though Massoud is very shy, so, it really was just a while. Tonka seemed a bit confused... and a little offended... about Massoud's sudden departure. And well, I don't approve of attempts to burrow away in my home! What a peculiar pup... Still, quite loveable, even if he could learn some manners! Really should go on a diet, too.

The spirit of his mommy came for a visit, too...? Massoud's mom, not Richo's. It was mighty peculiar! Thankfully, it was a friendly ghost. But it's a memory spirit, so, because Massoud remembers her being like that, it only makes sense... I suppose.

After that, I washed my hair! Richo certainly gave me a lot to think about, like usual. Especially about geomancy. I wish someone'd taught me how to do that. I'd raise a few homes for the good peoples! Seems like an awful lot of labor, though. And you need to be in touch with memories, and such, I think? Need to know what folk remember being there. It's weird. The memories become the bricks, in a way. I guess you could summon a giant boulder, carve it up, and then you have a boulder bungalow?

Magick sure is mighty peculiar!

It's horrible! I think my diary might be haunted... It certainly isn't Inky, because despite all their posturing, they're not really a threat to anyone. I'm not sure what to do? If I give it to the Astronomers or the Sisters to be exorcised, they'll just read it, in secret... There's not really anyone else I trust to do that, either, since Eclair left.

I might have to burn this... But there's so many memories in here. Yet I guess I'd have them with me, and Inky... Just more fragmented. I told Inky to stay away from the diary... They were real spooked about all this, too. I don't like this at all.

Don't even know why I'm still writing here... Force of habit.

[Upon a quiet eve, the timeworn tome is doused with discount oil purchased from an ashfolk incapable of refusing. It is unceremoniously thrown into the blaze of a brazier, one of many along the desert's ruined roads.

A diminutive form watches over the flames, their eyes tearful. A solemn gaze follows the trail of the embers, as the cold evening breeze carries them over to places known only by the Wanderer.

Nothing but ash remains.]
