Part 3:
4858- Akypor, road to Akypor Forest North, road to Akypor Forest South, Akypor Forest south,
We saw a golden firework in the sky for the first time. Our lavish parties will have fire works. Akypor has a neat lighthouse with artwork inside. Tycha will sell me a motorcycle with tuned engine and full tank for 60 days. Tycha held back some rubies for Serana. In the lighthouse, I stole some dried dung. I thought it would be good to have if I got stuck hungry again. I could hunt and then cook the meat. Why would I take a risk like that? Getting caught would surely mean getting fired and I just started working! Plus, it feels like I betrayed Serana and Tycha. I wanted to put it back almost as soon as I took it, but couldn’t think how to do that without looking odd and it was time to leave. I should have just asked. Probably I would have been given some, but I didn’t want to have to tell Serana that I had failed to manage something so basic as food rations.
On the road again, Serana taught me some tips and tricks, and I told her how our code could work. She told me about different cities with coins, and how old rates sheets can be before they’re not trustworthy anymore. She explained stock numbers and changing rates. We discussed a gambling parlor and raffles and lotteries. I suggested we come up with a random piece of literature to get a prize at the festival. We talked about dues as a percentage of profits rather than a flat 5 IK per year.
We briefly spoke with Bushido in Akypor Forest South
4859- road to Klojt Mountains West, road to Klojt Mountains,
We talked about our Spawn days (hers is 4670), candies, tea, automation, receptionist bonus, rural trading strategies, etc.
4860- Pok Desert West
I did my first trade with Philis James. I forgot to hand my proposal to her in my nervousness, and wondered why she took so long to agree. Quite a bit of back and forth on the rates occurred, and Philis might have been offended thinking we were trying to sell her own goods back to her. Serana explained that I gathered the resin and copper myself. Some guy named Ramin kept trying to flirt with Philis and Serana.
4861- Pok Desert West, Road to Pok
The people of Pok Desert West decided to brawl in the street. I think half of them had arms thicker than my whole body. Serana tried to recruit one for a bodyguard.
On the road, Serana worried about going through bandit territory to pick up her carpenter, Aesop. I convinced her we could make the trip without a body guard. She told me what happens to a person when they are nearly dead. She said I need to get a weapon and shield. We talked about tensions in PDW.
4862- Pok, road to Pok Southern Mountains West, Road to Pok Southern Mountains, Pok Southern Mountains
Nathor is the self proclaimed Booze Baron. He gave me some clove.
Pok Southern Mountains is abandoned.
4863-road to Baaak Hills South
The maps for this area can’t be trusted. Serana wonders if there are any cartographers left. We discussed the effects of Klojt coins being more widely accepted.
4864-Baaak Hills South
We picked up Aesop, the carpenter. He seems nice and eager to begin work.
4865-Pok Mountains
We met Cyrus, a trader from Pak aka Freedomland who trades from camel back.
4866-Klojt
Braeden’s fight turned into some dramatic running off that seems to have upset several people.
4867-Klojt
We dropped off Aesop in Klojt to begin renovations in the guild hall. I requested my dues date be my spawn day, which coincidentally was the day I signed on with Serana anyway.
We overheard trade negations on the radio between Horace Borgby of Doryiskom and Nimue Goldeneye of Xanth Commune, and decided to move on that.
4868-Doryiskom
We met Horace Borgby, resource manager of Doryiskom. Serana was excited at the direction the town was taking.
Coventina announce by radio that there exist fake coins stamped Klojt Treasury.
We talked about what sorts of things artsy people would buy.
4869-Akypor
Serana wants custom gowns from Seatown. I told her I don’t have fashion sense so she would have to help me dress up for our future parties. She said she would dress me up and down. I don’t think I would like to wear a dress, but I liked her saying that anyway. Dresses are 20 days: 15 for labor and 5 for materials.
4870-Akypor
Serena’s Spawnday.
Bushido was here, too, again advertising for workers in Dragonloft. Still nobody showed interest. I think the title of his ad is the problem.
4871- on the road
My profit from Akypor was 14 days. Serena’s was 89 days. That seems like so much! When will I get there?
4872- Akypor Forest South and New Xanth
We met Nimue Goldeneye. She gave us a sweet called lokum. She has a pet hawk but forgot its name and decided to call it Cora. *a tiny smiley face is drawn here* I really really really want a hawk now! She also let us have some clothes. I got a leather jacket and boots. I asked if I would look cool in them on a motorcycle. Serana said I could pull off anything with my pretty red hair. It made me all fluttery again. She chose some copper bracelets. They match her eyes. Nimue and her husband, Sigad, wanted to keep us because we were lovely saplings. That place felt very special. It’s as if the people are literally built out of love and it seeps into the trees and the buildings and the ground and everything. Most towns have people AT the place. Here, the people and the place are joined.
4873- Klojt
We checked on Aesop and shuffled some things around. I realize something about Serana now. She is really sweet and polite, but she’s also a dominant personality, I think. It’s like she is always going around on a mission, and everyone she talks to just falls into place around her without realizing it is happening. I am fairly clever, but I think Serana is smart on a whole level above that.
4874- Klojt, the road, Pok Desert West
Someone on the radio wants help assassinating a high profile target.
Amanita Dutta from Sring-Sri had her leg removed for some reason and wants to become a jeweler. We helped her find a radio and she will go to Dragonloft.
We discussed some guild logistics, including automation for supplementary income. Serana finished building the radio and advertised for builders and a body guard.
I was sleepy when we got to the desert. Serana patted my head. It was sweet.
4875- Pok Desert West
Braeden is here and has some sort of trauma sickness. She faints quite often.
4876- Pok Desert West
Philis doesn’t have pizza.
The oldest man ever, Jonas Quill who spawned 1871, said the desert used to be called Black Sands. I asked him all sorts of questions about the old days, and he just gave some sad answer with no information. How lame. When I’m that old, I’ll make up the best stories about the past for the young ones. Like how we made our houses out of strawberries and bears could talk.
I had my first bath. Well, my feet did. Now I can wear my new boots.
I got to try my new boots by running down the road after Serana when she forgot me.
Luc called about tea time with Serana.
