Mood/Title: Sisterhood & Clarity

What started as a lazy, laughter-filled morning turned into a day of hard emotional lessons. I spent the early hours with Caroline and Catherine. Caroline had us in stitches with her "exercise" routine—running around the room and crouching like a larl—before we moved to the Bath House. We had a deep, necessary conversation about companionship. I advised them to only sign a one-month contract initially to ensure they retain their power of choice and aren't trapped with a man who abuses his authority.

We met a new builder named Van, and I clarified my future role as mother to Asher, Tyrian, and Magnus. It turns out Tyrian and Asher are full brothers, while Magnus is their half-brother, but I intend to claim all three as my sons.

The day took a sharp turn when Aurik arrived. After all his sweet words yesterday about wanting to be with me, he essentially brushed me aside to go bathe with the slave girl, Nava. It hurt deeply, but Caroline and Catherine were right there to support me, reminding me that I am a free woman who deserves to be a priority, not an afterthought. I have decided to step back; if he doesn't see my worth now, he never will. To take my mind off things, we traveled to Lara to meet Lady Andromeda regarding a friendship agreement for Besnit. It was a long day, but at least I ended it with a hug from my son, Asher.

To Do:

• Focus my energy on my sons (Asher, Tyrian, Magnus) rather than a suitor who doesn't value my time.

• Follow up on the friendship agreement between Besnit and Lara/Teletus.

• Keep an eye out for a music box that Tyrian mentioned was missing.

• Continue mentoring Caroline and Catherine; they are becoming like family.

Mood/Title: Courtship & New Beginnings

It was a very quiet start to the morning, sitting and having blackwine with Caroline and catching up, but the day turned into something wonderful. Masujiro returned with a completely new look—a tall, handsome warrior shape that I definitely rate a 10. We spoke for hours, and he asked to court me for the next six hands. I told him he must ask my Father, Wind, but I am so happy to say yes. He has even changed his name to Aurik Stormvald to mark this new chapter.

We discussed our future family; he is supportive of my desire to be a mother to Asher, Tyrian, and Magnus, so we will have a full house. We also took in a slave girl named Nava (who Nor calls "Flower"). She is a "barbarian" and seems sweet; Aurik put his temporary collar on her so she can help us with errands. Later at the tavern, Aurik publicly announced our courtship to the room. We ended the night with him carrying me inside. It is so nice to finally feel safe and not be alone.

To Do:

• Arrange a meeting between Aurik and Father Wind so Aurik can ask for permission to companion.

• Get Asher to trim the bush that is rubbing against the swing.

• Find a small table and a few stools for the outdoor sitting area.

• Spend time getting to know Nava and see how she fits into the household.

• Make sure Aurik gets more sleep!

Mood/Title: A Sleen for Christmas & Canon Controversies

It was a surprisingly active Christmas in the city. I met a lovely new scribe named Kathani Mondrich; Masujiro and I helped her find the Inn, and I truly hope she decides to stay, as we could use more scribes. I also finally met the physicians, Samuel and Luciana. They seem like a wonderful couple, though Luciana shared a rather shocking story about a warrior behaving dishonorably with a slave right in the open. It reminds me why we need good leadership here.

The wildest part of the day was meeting "Deft," a massive tamed sleen that came sniffing around while Masujiro was showing me the jail cells. The beast was huge—Masujiro says he’s still growing! He slobbered all over my festive red dress, which was a disaster, but Masujiro taught me some hand signals to make him sit and lie down. We even took him hunting in the woods. The beast caught a tarsk and actually shared the kill with me. I had to eat a piece of meat to be accepted as "pack." It was messy, but I think I made a new friend.

Later, Masujiro took me on a trip to "Edo," a Japanese-themed retreat. We met Gyre there, and the place was beautiful—especially the theater with the fish and the hot springs.

However, the night ended on a bit of a tense note. Masujiro and Gyre got into a heated debate about whether "Tarn Tunnels" under Ar are canon in the books. Gyre used a search engine to prove they aren't, while Masujiro insisted they are in Book 1. He even sent me the book chapters to prove his point before going to sleep frustrated.

To Do:

• Get my blue dress cleaned immediately (sleen slobber is hard to get out).

• Read the chapters Masujiro sent me to see who is right about the Tarn Tunnels.

• Check on Kathani at the Inn to see if she needs anything else.

• Locate the olive tree near where Samuel and Luciana live to pay them a visit.

Mood/Title: A Quiet Eve & The Guardian Tarn

It was a peaceful start to Christmas Eve in the city. The morning was quiet, likely because everyone is busy preparing for the holiday tomorrow. I spent some time chatting with Asher, Caroline, and Masujiro. Masujiro had his Tarn with him—a massive creature. He shared that he had recently returned a slave named Tza to her owner at Lame Kaiila and spoke highly of "The Greens" (Samuel and Luciana) who had helped treat her previously.

The calm was briefly interrupted when a stranger ran past us without an introduction, rudely keeping their ranged weapons attached within the city walls. Masujiro scolded them for the breach of protocol. When he had to step away to assist someone else, he gallantly left his Tarn to guard Caroline and me, which was a nice touch. I mentioned my plans to see the new Avatar movie tomorrow and spotted a "Merry The Musician" bot on the marketplace that caught my eye. I eventually nodded off at the keyboard and had to say my goodbyes to get some rest.

To Do:

• Go to the movies to see the new Avatar.

• Check out/test the "Merry The Musician" item from the Marketplace.

• Get some rest before the Christmas festivities.

Mood/Title: A Tour of Hidden Places, Birthday Confidences, and a Magistrate's Sign

It was a very full morning, both in terms of exploring the city and deepening my connection with the people here. Asher found me early on and took me on a personal tour of some of the city's more hidden areas. He showed me a large event room above the city that is perfect for dancing, and then the Tarn Tower, which has living quarters and an office. He also clarified the defense situation that Izzy had worried me about; it turns out the Fort itself is secure from lockpicking and raids, even if the outer city is not. That puts my mind at ease.

Asher also surprised me by replacing my sign. It now properly reads "Magistrate Kati Evans." It is a small gesture, but it makes me feel truly established here.

Caroline joined us, and we ended up near the water wheel and lumber area. I nearly walked right into the "Pleasure Gardens"—which turns out to be a polite name for the brothel/slave gardens—before Asher stopped me. It is actually quite a beautiful spot with fountains and blue curtains, hidden away below my house, though I suspect I won't be visiting it often!

The most meaningful part of the day, however, was my conversation with Caroline. It is her birthday today. We spoke about our ages—I shared my birth year—and she mentioned her mother is close in age to me. I also opened up about my real-life children and the difficulties I’ve faced. She was incredibly kind and supportive. We seem to share a vision for a community built on connection rather than just population numbers.

We also discussed work, specifically regarding the Physicians, Dr. Massey and his companion. We need to establish a system where blank forms are kept in a file box owned by Asher, so that if the current Physicians leave (as castes often move), the station retains the records and the format.

I am cutting the day short to travel for a nice dinner in the world.

To Do:

• Create a "Master List" of topics to discuss with Asher, starting with the file box for blank caste forms.

• Introduce myself to Dr. Massey and Lady Massey when they are online.

• Locate the perfume shop Asher mentioned (he challenged me to find it on my own).

• Check back on the Google Calendar situation in Lara to see if it has been repaired.

New Arrivals & Roster Updates

 Asher (and Charoa) welcomed several new residents and groups to the station:

• Physicians: Samuel Theodore Massey (samvimesofank) and Luciana Rowan-Massey (wildone.battitude) – both respected Physicians of Gor.

• Commerce (Mining): Nephtides na Neidos (nephtides) and his girl Ganima. He runs the White Tarn Mining Company, supplying silver and iron.

• Warrior/Elder: Masujiro Seo (pastelgrizzly). He is recognized as an Elder to the Pani and a Veteran of the Red Caste. (Note: This confirms the arrival of the friend you spoke to on Dec 6).

• Assassins (Hidden): A notice from Charoa announced that Master Assassin Conrad and his killers (D'Arrius, Janus, Drifter, and Charoa) have started RP, hiding in the "old abandoned chambers" used as a hidden council room during wartime.

Announcements & Events

January 2026 Event: Asher announced a role-play event titled "The road from Ar's Station to Ar" to kick off the new year. It will be open to the wider Gorean community.

• Holiday Slowdown: On Dec 10, Asher sent a message acknowledging that things may move slower due to real-life holiday and work commitments, asking for patience among the community.

• Christmas Room: A holiday-themed room has been opened on the first floor of the fort (marked by a red mat) for residents to gather and relax.
