These queries are not returning information of practical value. Are there alternate sources you may access on my behalf? No, I am not particular as to their provenance. Yes, all of the questions. Thank you, Calliope.

Why do you believe that the why matters to you more than it 'should'?
She does not have the capacity to aid me now in this, but if I understand your meaning more broadly: I have told her directly that I am at her disposal, and committed to her aid in all things.
She was less than pleased. It was an understandable reaction.
How did you overcome the protests of the one you sought to help?
no subject
and sometimes i give too many chances or just wanna know why when i shouldnt care why
well if youve said that then id hope shed know it
thats pretty clear wording
ugh yeah well
i just barrel on through and start helping anyway
not sure i recommend it but if i give my word i give my word
its kinda touch and go tho
sometimes u have to read the room
a trenchie i dont know? i wouldnt push like that
but someone i do know
some things are worth the push
no subject
I cannot say what that balance is. I imagine it varies from person to person, and circumstance to circumstance. There are those I would suffer nearly any insult from, any indignity, if I were only able to offer them the slightest aid in an hour of want…and those who I would do nothing for, regardless of their need.
[Or so he believes.]
It is as you say. A matter of knowing. Those most familiar and dear to us may expect more.
Perhaps I should do as you say, and continue to insist. I have never been particularly adroit at insistence on any subject, but I shall hope it is not as it is said, that an old construct cannot be caught new tricks.
no subject

Thank you for your patience with me. I know at times I am verbose.
Consider yourself owed a favour by Ortus Nigenad.
no subject
ortus from the boat ortus???
i didnt know ur username. hi. hey. all my answers still stand.
no subject
Ortus, from the boat. I did not know it was you either, Vi. I ask your forgiveness for my lapse.
I had changed my name on this network of late, which seems to have caused no end of confusion.
But I am glad to speak with you again. Have you fared well since we met?
no subject
yeah thatll do it but its ur username so pick what u want
good to "hear" u
its been an interesting ride
not as rough as it could be aside from the nerves
but ive managed to get a handle on it so im like a 70 out of a hundred
have u
besides skeleton i mean
[that being said: skeleton is not the worst fate one could suffer right now. skeleton (and horse, and cat): much better than weird cult version of trench.]
no subject
Becoming a skeleton has truthfully been less distressing than the other matter we were speaking of.
I would rate being a skeleton as a 53 out of 100 experience.
The interpersonal matter a 16 out of 100.
no subject
im getting real tired of everything around here making us its bitch. to borrow a friends term.
that boat ride was awful for a lot of reasons. good chance all of us in agreement there. except maybe never mind.
53 doesnt sound so bad
looks like ppl are trying to help so thats good
no subject
53 is a higher rating than I would have given being composed of flesh at several points in my life. I do not seek to complain overmuch. I am grateful, for example, for the ready aid so many have offered.
I wish I could understand the ways of the local deities, but they remain obscure to me, Nevertheless, we persist.
no subject
feels like
i feel u
i was hung over real bad once
id rate that way below 53
sometimes u just have to vent
its not even complaining
if shit sucks and u have no way to complain
just ends up being bad news for everyone
plus trench invents a few new things a month to complain about
to shake it up a little
"nevertheless we persist"
sounds like it would make a good house motto
no subject
The first time I was hung over, I was a little less than your age, and thought that God was punishing me for my sins, and soon I would die and be condemned to the darkest depths of the River. I commiserate.
The aptness of that phrase as a House motto is one I ought to present to my lady. I think she would find it amusing.
And I appreciate your graciousness in accomodating my gripes. It does alleviate the spirit to share in certain sufferings.
no subject
thats how it felt
luckily palamedic came thru w/the painkillers
but well i coulda done w/out most of that afternoon
night
next morning
painkillers dont fix bad decisions
or the problems u drink to escape
theyre right there when u remember them
only worse bc ur sick
youve got a lady?
or is it more like a Lady
(My Lord My Lady etc etc Sir, Ur Grace etc)
ive got three so far but i only really use one
(that my sworn sister approves of)
Starting The Right Trouble
sometimes it does
ud think once we learned that lesson wed stop getting shoved together in weird ass sitches
bc its like YEAH [INSERT PTHUM HERE] WE KNOW
we got it last time
but hey we got thru boat
so skys the limit ig
if u ever need an ear
or some vileblood
just putting that out there
no subject
I imagine his painkillers were efficacious, but the problem of all distraction from one's problem being a temporary one 'til they are resolved is one that springs eternal in the annals of history.
I speak of my liege Lady, the Reverend Daughter Harrowhark Nonagesimus. I do not have a lady in the other sense.
As for the repetition of lessons, I believe that at times, we must learn the most difficult things more than once. For all the terror of this world, I know myself better than I ever have before by it, and there is worth to that.
You are most gracious. I should hope not to ask your blood of you, but I have been grateful for your ear.
un: fathands
the guy
palamedes!
yeah he p much said the same thing and gave me real good advice
the problem
it was a person
and he said just to cut them out of my orbit
and vice versa
not totally possible if they show up again
but at the time it was some good council
counsel
thats a hell of a name
and i thought sansa had a long one
its a good one
and no worries i dont have a lady like that either
yeah well i do have a thick head
so theres a couple i prob have to repeat
cool cool
gracious not usually a word ppl use for me but ill take it
thanks for that
no subject
[He is, in truth, grateful the young man has so neatly slipped the bonds of history and empire to attend to his own affairs in his own fashion. Ortus knows that he could seek to do the same, if he had the courage and trust for it.]
The name is nearly taller than my lady herself, but she carries it well.
And I speak only what I believe when I speak of the traits of others. Your manner may be, at times, impetuous and brash, but it is the meaning behind one's words that determines their value and matters most.
I did not always understand this, due to the thickness of my own head. But you are gracious, in that you allow for grace, and it is a trait you ought to know you possess.
no subject
hey who u calling impetuous and brash
(its me haha)
im not gonna argue that either
hey hey thick heads club
so many clubs
now i need 3 badges
ur kind for pointing things out
some ppl only say the bad stuff
u say both
but u say it better than a lot of ppl
no subject
[There is no cause for his words to skip, delivered as they are directly from his thoughts - so it must be his thoughts which stammer.]
I would like to be kind, where I may be.
I have not been in a club for some time. Perhaps I shall seek out badges, after my predicament passes, and set small skulls upon them.
no subject
so where u may is a good way to look at it
means if u have a choice: always
we can have meetings where we just
idk watch movies
eat stuff
think thoughts with our thick heads
no subject
Imagine the sort of world we might have if all followed that principle.
I believe those are the best type of club. Much comes of discussion carried on in such an environment, and perhaps we would agree to rotate the choosing of films, so that not all of them would be those depicting contests of sporting prowess or warfare.
no subject
more than id like to admit
i was a little late to the game
and im still workin on it
oh yeah we can change it up
u pick one
i pick one
we let a stranger pick bc why not
same with food
u pick the food
its ttly a challenge
[she has yet to find a food she does not like. or cannot deal with. (besides corpses. and that's a nightmare steed problem, not a vi problem.)]
sometimes i like the ones with lots of talking
and ladies with manners
and manors
and the kind where it takes a long time to find out who did the murder
sometimes its not even a murder bc the death was faked!
no subject
[Optimism is still foreign to him. But he may strive for it, as he does for forthrightness, and for courage.]
I would be intrigued to know what a stranger might suggest. For film, and even for food.
I have little knowledge of either. Have you ever tried a snow leek? I cannot recommend them in good conscience.
Once, I was in a manor with mannered ladies who had much to say, and a murderer on the loose. I did not know there were films that depicted such situations.
Do they have ghosts? There are not enough ghosts in the sporting films, or the ones about war, where one would think there would be an abundance of ghosts.
no subject
me too
lets do it
just pick someone walking on by
[she has now searched for photos of leeks, and recipes containing leeks. she's not sure if a snow leek would be different, but it's not offputting.]
i havent
didnt get too much green in the undercity
got lots in prison but that was mold
ill track one down and report back
"manor with mannered ladies"
see u say it better
ur life sounds like a movie then
thats prob why u write like book
im sure they have to
and yeah why is that
ud think ppl would start fighting and by the middle
itd be full of ghosts
im surprised this place doesnt have more ghosts tbh
thats what we can do
find a movie abut ghosts
watch it and u can watch me eat a snow leek
no subject
[Is this...what light hearted distraction is meant to feel like?]
I do not even know if they have them in the city, but you might replicate the experience by finding a green leek and blanching it of colour, adding a quantity of additional black grit to the stem, submerging it in ice water, and then shredding it into a bowl you fill with as much black, salty sauce as you can stand to attempt to disguise the flavour and rubbery texture.
It will not work, but the effort is traditional.
I write like a book because I have read many of them. You flatter me.
[He means that, is the terrible part.]
The paucity of local ghosts relative to the population and frequency of violent death is surprising. At times, I wish we had a spirit-talker of the Fifth House here who might investigate this, but then I fear the answer might be unpleasant, or unknowable.
But it is agreed. We consult a stranger for their opinions on a film about ghosts, and I will try your prison mould if you are committed to sampling a snow leek.
