Page 001 - A New Journal
Mar. 18th, 2015 01:51 pmWell, that about does it for my last journal. I've been putting off getting a new one far too long. The former is so crammed with loose-leaf paper, and has been dropped in the tub a number of times, so breaking it out has become a bit of an embarrassment. It's seen its share of hardships and has been comfortably retired to a shelf with my other logs and datebooks. A fresh start, I do say!
The Little Lady's festival has wrapped up quite nicely. The dolls were creepy though- I am convinced they are not wax but, in fact, masterful works of taxidermy meant to cover murders most foul by hiding the evidence in plain sight! Brother thinks I'm being unnecessarily macabre, though mark my words they'll be dragging that Lalafel to prison some day with a laundry list of charges and a wake of tastefully posed bodies. One even looked like Miss Jancis, though thankfully we saw her alive and well at the Still Shore.
Regardless, I've gotten a cute necklace out of the holiday.
I've been spending a lot of time researching this curse and Voidsent. My considerable collection of grimoires has turned up nothing I could not already deduce for myself, however. The best I can do is write down what I do know for future reference.
-Voidsent is known as the 'Mistress'. Appears as a faceless woman in dreams. Stated that should I stumble next into her realm she would not so easily let me leave.
-Three known people in Coral marked by shadowy tendrils from a voidgate.
-Blood carries a strong floral scent, like perfume. Acts as a soporific, causing drowsiness and eventually an unconscious state.
-Unconscious state somehow links to the 'Mistress's' little plane of the Void.
-Attempted traditional reversal efforts with no success.
I am presently debating seeing how the channeling of energies is influenced by the use of cursed blood in the construction of runes. Hypothesis is that the results will likely weaken the veil between this world and the Void. There is the possibility, however, of gaining direct access to the source- this 'Mistress'- and if she is destroyed, so to is her hold on those she's marked.
I will need to discuss this theory with those involved. In fact, I have need to obtain as much information as possible from one called Ja'ren before further considering this approach, especially since the type of magic is widely viewed as taboo if not outright illegal.

Faezbhar has been most kind these past couple of weeks. His company has kept my mind off the gnawing dread this curse has instilled in me. Arandr has not taken my current choices well, and I can hardly blame him, nor have I much room to scold his behaviour considering my own past actions.
The best I can do is be as discrete as possible without having to outright lie. And, perhaps, warn Faezbhar about purchasing things from my brother since, as much as I love Ran, I do not think him above sabotage.
