Dear Diary,
what a week... I wish I'd be back home in
Sigil. I don't fit in here and I miss my dearest
brother more than words can say. People don't seem to get me here... or like me.
I really wanted to work in fashion my whole life but not like this. I'm an attraction. The clients don't take me seriously. Most of them don't even want to buy something, they only come by to stare at me and the ones that want to buy some of the exclusive clothes we sell aren't interested in my fashion advice. And if that wasn't enough, I have to remain friendly the whole time. THE WHOLE TIME! Cassia doesn't pay me if I talk back to the clients (even the fake ones). This week she only paid me once! Apparently telling someone to get the f* out, that they are too old for our clothes or that they are fat and ugly is not "the way" to talk to a client... I mean I kind of like Cassia and I want to contribute to my household with
Drake so I’ll keep going there and try to be nicer. People don't like the truth it seems...
Furthermore, Drake thought that I should meet his mother. He had told her that I'm a Genasi, which she did not appreciate. I told you that she lives in the slums, right. And OMG what a way to live. The neighborhood is messy and kind of stinks. Her house, although tidy, is tiny. She doesn't own anything of value. How can one live like that? Spoiler alert: looking around the apartment in disgust and asking "so, you live
here!?" is not the best way to start a relationship with your boyfriend's mother. I tried to keep my mouth shut for Drake, but I really don't like that woman and she feels the same about me. It is really hard to be nice to somebody you don't want to. I kind of miss
Gwenelle. I didn’t have to pretend to like her. Oh, I can't stop thinking about the fact that I agreed to live with that woman! The things you do for love...
I also had my first mission for the Raven Queen and at least that went quite well. Poe told me to follow him, he led me to the slums (of course... ) into a small flat. There was an old man. Both, man and flat, were in a disastrous condition, they were neglected and scruffy, he was only skin and bones, but he happily played with a little girl. The girl turned out to be the ghost of his daughter. She had put some kind of spell on him, it seemed so that he was not able to do anything other than play with her. She felt my presence and made it very clear that she didn't want me there, that I was disturbing their play. I tried to talk to her, to make her leave and let her father be, but she wouldn't listen. I shot an arrow at her, which made her very mad. Then it occurred to me, that even if the girl would leave and take the spell off of her father, he probably would die very soon of starvation. So I did the only reasonable thing and killed her father with an arrow. Mission accomplished :) The brief fight between the ghost and me had destroyed the building so that neighbors were able to look through the holes in the walls. I quickly polymorphed into a raven and flew away with Poe. Apparently, the Raven Queen was not impressed with my solution to the problem... I still think it was brilliant and she will see that one day, I'm sure of that.
My dear diary, I'll have to leave you now. I'm so very tired and tomorrow is another day of fake smiling all day long to get paid one lousy gp.
Love, BB <3
