Dear Diary,

[adrianna_rta]

I am still back in Paloma for a trip that has become longer than what I intended. Who knew that such a small thing like a brewing war could take so long? At least I have had the chance to do some shopping, reading, and get some... work completed

I miss you both terribly. But of course, you know that.

[adrianna_rta]

You are missed too, of course, Addy darling. You're at the top of my list of people to see when I return to Amber.

[addison_rta]

I am moderately wimpy. But I will survive, and a rampaging Old God and all of Amber and Rebma yelling at me (an increase in yelling by 100%!) is keeping me occupied.

[adrianna_rta]

A rampaging Old God, you say? I'm clearly missing all the fun.

[addison_rta]

I'm not sure. Dealing with a rampaging Old God seems to involve lots of meetings, hordes of people telling you that you are doing it wrong (is there a right way?), people generally being people, and you sitting about wondering if perhaps the best way to deal with Leviathan is just to serve him an injunction and several very strongly worded letters.

However, down in the Market today I discovered a seller pushing new plushy Leviathans so it is not all bad, really.

[adrianna_rta]

Addison, darling.

You're dealing with an Old God.

...have you considered consulting a Karm? I promise that if the house eats you it will spit you back out in a few days.

[addison_rta]

No? And do you know why not? Because I am living proof that you can be the smartest person in the world and have absolutely no idea what is going on.

Which means that now, yes, I really should consult a Karm.

[jibril_rta]

Did I not just say that the Star will bring hope?

The Star, in this case, is Karm.

[gil_karm]

I need more help than you do. And Lilith is off with Jibril rescuing a different Karm. Maybe Felix is available?

I am likely to be called Phoenix for other reasons, shortly.

You could always feed the people in the meeting to the beast, and give it indigestion.
