Invitation by the Weavers of Twighlight

I slept wonderfully today. Alizée really has the best beds I’ve ever slept in! I wonder if she can also make them fireproof. But it doesn’t matter… She has given away her guest room to one of her employees. Apparently her big house has only one guest room; I really wonder what is in the rest of her rooms.
 
Even more important – everyone remembers me! Even Te’sarim came back! I am so happy!
After my shift at the Ta’alaq I went to Frederick to bring him his clothes back, and Te’sarim immediately jumped at me!
 
Frederick invited me to play a game: “Builders & Bureaucrats” (“B&B” for short). It’s really interesting. I think it’s similar to Analysis and Accountants (A&A), which Keshi plays at the Clockwork Rose. Frederick told me about his character in his primary group. His name is Richard Roma and he buys and sells real estate. But he said that real estate is a pretty hard class for beginners. So I played a female primary school teacher named Lea Carinshkof, who is married to Elena Carinshkof. The two of them are totally in love and want to adopt a child. My quest was to dig through bureaucracy while also trying to make up with my father, Klaus Kinsky. I rolled very poorly, which is why my career suffered under the stress my character had. But Te’sarim’s character saved me, and in the end it was a success! Frederick translated Te’sarim for me. He played a professional “poetry slammer.” I don’t know what that is, but Te’sarim said it’s like a modern philosopher paired with a writer. He called himself Thorsten – that’s a funny name. The game was really fun! Now I want to dive deeper into such fantasies. There were a lot of contracts and forms I had to learn – it was so much fun!
 
Later, Frederick and I went to the Dahira because Orothion asked us to. He wanted to talk about our invitation and whether we had similar experiences. I also remember it now. To be honest, I don’t want to talk about it, but each of us had a very… intimidating experience. As we remembered our invitation, our cards transformed into parts of a map. Only Aura still can’t remember how she got the invitation. That’s so her! But we need more parts of the map… the Sixfold Shadow must have the other parts. I wonder if they can remember their invitations or if they are at least blessed with the same ability to recall forgotten things.
 
Oro told us a lot about his past this time! He said he used to be a bodiless spirit created by Titania – the Lady of the Summer Court – to serve her as a mere messenger. And then, when he died, his soul was forged into a body by the Raven Queen! Who is the forged child now?! As a child of two goddesses, he truly is born to serve. I kind of pity him. Maybe we can escape our pasts together.
 
Later we went to the library to find out more about the Weavers and the crowns mentioned in the stories of the Seven Princes. First – I am really confused by the sheer number of legends and myths we’ve heard in the last week. Second – I’m not sure whether there are two crowns or two parts of one crown, nor what power this/these crown(s) might have. But Alizée told us that the Shadow’s Crown from the story of the blind storyteller has a sister crown – the Crown of Light. She knows that from a lullaby her mother sang for her. My mother never bothered. Anyway… in the library we only found a version without any mention of the crowns.
I used the time to look up Ayn Almara and its connection with him. But it seems my intuition was wrong. The oasis is older than the calamity and even older than Orothion! So either it’s a different dragon or this library is wrong again. If it’s the latter, I’m really worried for the elite in this town.
 
Steam has a new job at the Lucky Coin! Maybe I can get some friendship prices—um, prices—when I play there after my work at the Clockwork Rose. He got a tattoo of a snake on his first day. I’m not sure if that’s a good sign. Alizée doesn’t like it either. Now that we’re a group, we need to take care of each other! Later in the evening I saw him running across the roofs delivering a brown bag with a golden seagull on it. Alizée told us that her drake is called Nevis now.
 
I’m really glad that I have such a good and friendly group! I’m looking forward to tomorrow when I see them again!
I just remembered they can’t tomorrow… but I’m sure we’ll meet in a few days for another adventure!
 
PS: I forgot – the city has a new mayor. I have no idea who she is, but Alizée’s mother lost.
