*Sigh*

  I really don't understand Calindrava sometimes. He sold the tuxedo. Sold it. Gloated about it, quite rudely I might add. And then... with the money he made from selling the tuxedo...
  ...he bought me all the patterns so that once I can sew well enough, I can make tuxedos. He can be such a brat one moment, and then so sweet!*

  I've begun working in Tranquillien now, and my goodness the Blood Elves do need help down here. They're working terribly hard themselves to try to clear the Scourge out of their lands - I'm pleased to note that everyone here is well aware of what needs to be done. It's one thing to refuse to be depressed by circumstances, and another to willfully ignore the true state of affairs the way some Blood Elves further north do. I met one young girl, living alone, who simply refused to believe that anything truly bad could have happened, and then there was that lord presiding over his never-ending party... In any case, everyone here in the Ghostlands is doing their part and refusing to despair.
  And oh, the Ghostlands! Oh my! The atmosphere! I get happy tingles up my spine whenever I look around at the clouded sky, the darkened scenery, the little scuttling spiders underfoot... it's beautiful! Once, in Stormwind - ah, back when I was alive, that is - I heard a gnome talking about "ideal environments" and "personal niches". I still don't understand everything she was talking about (what's "fung shway"?), but I think I've found my ideal environment!


* I'm still going to paddle his rear for selling the tuxedo. I don't care if he's a big scary warlock now, he's still my bratty little brother!

Funny how Ghostlands, which really is quite moody and beautiful, is right next to the BloodElf capital. The sun is so harsh and bright and frankly the place is a little creepy. Very Stepford Wives. Try waving your hands in front of some of those bloodelves...I don't think they are quite *present* Anyway a long comment to say, glad you found your personal niche.

Glad to hear that you're still around. Was beginning to wonder if something had finished you off.

Funny how siblings can make you want to choke them one minute, then the next hug them to death.

@ Rabbit dear - Yes, some of the elves in Silvermoon are... well... detached from reality, shall we say? And they can be quite rude if you talk to them about some of the less 'elegant' professions, but oh well. Try blowing a kiss to one of the guards some day, they seem to appreciate it!

@ Andy C. - Thank you for your concern! I'm quite well and still here - I did have to run away from an extremely large Scourge once (he looked just like the Undercity guards! I had no idea it wasn't safe to ask him for directions) but he didn't catch me. ^_^ And sometimes I think Calindrava does things just because they fit in with the stereotypes about what little brothers do to annoy their big sisters, honestly...
