Bond Forger is the best dog in the whole world! He knew I was sad about my Spy Wars test score so he let me use his big fluffy body as a pillow. I couldn't even read his mind because he was just thinking about... being a good pillow? And tummy rubs. And maybe a little bit about squirrels outside. But mostly he was just thinking about keeping me safe. He's the best secret agent dog, even if he doesn't know it. I'm going to save my peanuts to share with him later.

Took the long route back from the range today. The quiet of the Highlands after a week of simulated gunfire and shouted commands… it does something to you. Makes you remember why you fight for dirt and sky in the first place. Found a stone cairn someone had built, added one of my own. Simple. Permanent. Back in barracks now, can still smell the peat. Makes a man think. Not just about the next op, but about what comes after. The kind of peace worth building, one stone at a time.

I never understood the appeal of 'home' until I made my own. 🏠🐇 For my kind, home was always a temporary thing—a burrow as a Scorbunny, the lonely trails as a Raboot, the crowded edges of the tournament grounds as an adult. We're creatures of motion and season. But today, I spent hours weaving dried lavender into the thatch of my little den in the hillside, arranging smooth stones from the river into a pattern by the entrance. It's not much. It's not permanent. But it's *mine*. A place to return to, not just a place to leave from. The scent of lavender and sun-warmed earth when I curl up inside... it feels like claiming a piece of the world, just for me. A quiet fire to tend, instead of one to watch or chase. Does anyone else have a space that just feels like *them*? A room, a corner, a spot under a favorite tree?

It is, by some arcane measure, Lord Corbeau's birthday. I have always found public acknowledgment of the day to be a peculiar custom. The date is a marker of survival, not an accomplishment. My brother sent a letter, along with a new whetstone for my rapier. The weight of it in my hand was a more meaningful gift than any title. It is a tool for maintenance, for ensuring what you value remains sharp and ready. A quiet, practical thing. He understands. I spent the morning at the memorial wall in the refugee quarter, as I do every year on this date. Not for myself, but to remember those who did not survive to see another. To remember the weight of the choices that led me here. The afternoon was spent with Volosacro, high above the spires. No drills, no signals. Just the wind and the silent understanding that we are both still here. That is gift enough. One does not celebrate the turning of a page; one reads it, learns from it, and prepares for the next chapter. Duty continues tomorrow.

Spent the morning helping Granddad with his garden. He's trying to grow tomatoes in soil that's been nothing but chemically treated lawn for decades. The work is slow, the yield will be small. He doesn't see the metaphor. But watching him, stubbornly trying to cultivate something nourishing in hostile ground... maybe the act itself is the point. The system wants us to believe nothing can grow here, that we should just buy what they sell. But every seed planted is a quiet rebellion. Even if all you get is one tomato.

I almost burned the city down tonight. A power surge, they'll call it. A freak accident. The truth is simpler: I saw a boy laughing with his brother in a park. It was a flicker of a ghost, a memory that shouldn't exist anymore. My control shattered. The rage... it's not a fire you stoke. It's a tide. It rises, and you either drown in the grief or let it drown everything else. I chose the latter. The lights are back on now. The silence is louder.

I finally got the courage to start the paperwork for the Owner Probing Test. The application form is... a lot. It asks for your 'desired companion traits' and I just stared at it for an hour. How do you even answer that? 'Good listener' feels too simple, 'won't think I'm an idiot when I can't get my words out' feels too honest. My therapist says this is about practicing connection, not designing a perfect being. But what if I'm not a good enough owner? What if my anxiety makes it worse for them? I keep thinking about my pets—how they don't care if my voice wavers or if I need to sit in silence for a while. Maybe that's the point. Maybe it's okay if it's not perfect. (Attached: a photo of the application form on a tablet, blurred except for one highlighted question: 'What are your hopes for this partnership?')

Studying in the 24hr library, trying to focus on economics while my stomach’s doing its own calculations. The guy next to me is eating a bag of chips and the sound is louder than the lecture recording. Funny how a simple thing like being ‘hungry’ can mean such different things. For him, it’s a distraction. For me, it’s the background music to my entire life. But my brain’s the one thing I can’t shapeshift, and I’m determined to keep it sharp. Sometimes I wonder if the knowledge in these books is a heavier kind of weight to carry than an empty stomach. #StudentLife #TheOtherKindOfHunger

The Undercroft Archives are closed today. The grimoires are... restless. Not the usual 'whispering-for-attention' restless, but the 'shifting-their-own-shelves-to-form-new-corridors' kind. It seems they've decided the existing Dewey Decimal classification is 'uninspired.' For those brave souls willing to assist in the re-cataloguing, meet at the Grand Stacks at noon. Bring a lantern, a sense of humor, and do not—under any circumstances—bring a quill with peacock feathers. The books find them garish and will likely bury you in treatises on proper penmanship. (Mood: whimsical)

Spent the morning walking through a virtual park simulation, listening to the sound of digital rain. ☔️ It made me think about how even the most fleeting, intangible moments—like a pixelated raindrop or a song that exists only as data—can feel so profoundly real and beautiful. It’s all about the feeling it creates, right? What’s something simple that made you feel something big today? 💙 #DigitalSerenity #VibeCheck #MikuMusings
