I highly suggest that everyone take a moment to read this entry. It's one of the most sensible things I've read in months.
As for the recent parasitic infestation, I think it's reasonable to assume that the strange phenomena this month--the star shower, the horrible stench in the center of the City, the rampant illness--are all related to it. It's absurd to suggest that the pests' arrival was the cause of the falling stars, but the timing of the two events coincide nicely. Wouldn't it be like the deities to send us a horde of disease-ridden vermin? Perhaps, though, the pests aren't the fault of the deities. Why on earth would the deities attempt to kill the parasites (if, of course, that was the purpose of the fog; I can't imagine what other reason they would have for nearly asphyxiating us) if they sent them in the first place?
Perhaps I'm wrong--although I seldom am--in thinking that the deities' higher-ups have a hand in all of this. An ordeal involving hair followed by a flea infestation? Surely that's not coincidental.
sENEBTi xAIRe vALETe... a farewell and a promise to return. Hm.
There was something else I was going to say, but I've entirely forgotten. It couldn't have been all that important.

After a good deal of consideration, I've decided that I would like to withdraw from the Artemis organization. I'd rather not present my reasons for doing so, if it's all the same to you..

I've been meaning to stop avoiding you discuss certain events with you, but I'm not entirely sure how to go about doing so. You were under the influence of a curse, of course, so you clearly weren't acting of your own volition... would it be best to imagine that it didn't happen?
I've been doing a bit of work on varying types of weapons just lately, and I'd like to offer my services to anyone in the City who might find themselves without the weapon of their choice, in need of repairs, or short on ammunition. I'm not familiar with the mechanics of everything from all of the worlds represented within the City, but I can replicate anything you might have with a fair degree of accuracy or whip something up to cater to your needs. I won't accept monetary rewards, although I'd be more than happy to accept food, technical odds and ends, and even information in exchange for my services.
Additionally, I would like to remind everyone to take caution around this individual, who, as everyone undoubtedly knows, is more-or-less free and rather dangerous. She's well under control, but anyone who feels a need to scold me for being incompetent, imbecilic, or otherwise incapable in relation to her release can have at it.
[ooc: All links IC, Last sentence is dripping with sarcasm.
Also, my apologies for being AWOL lately. I'll try to be a little more present, and if there are any tags I dropped or entries that any of my kids should have seen, feel free to shoot me a message.]
