(25th of August 111YC) What?! I got it on discount!

Not long now. I can almost taste the cap the bonus will spare me.

That's right. I've just spent the majority of this month training a skill that I may not need much ever again: Logistics V for my "Power Struggle♥". Here's to fringe use ships...

As to the post title, I've used my lovely Loyalty Points with Sisters of Eve to garner me a useful little upgrade to improve on the training time of Armored Warfare Spec V. Pretty soon, the armor the Sleepers were quite happily plinking away at on Synenose ships will be veritbly indomitable! Mwah hah hah hah hah... ahem.

This girl's been having a good ol' lazy time of it. Getting fat in isk, lazily doing the odd mission to pass the time. But what I've been lacking of late is some good old fashioned piracy. I've recently got in touch with an old friend of mine and, having already checked if it was within Synenose policy to do this, asked her if she'd mind me tagging along with her and her corp for some good old fashioned piracy in wormhole space. Sadly, it turns out she hasn't yet been able to make it to their evil base deep in the shadows out there, but hopefully when she does, she'll ask if I can join in the fun.

A girl has needs - Some for chocolate; some for shoes, some for sex. Me? I need all of the above plus blood. In fact, my order probably goes blood, chocolate, sex, shoes. Don't quote me on that though - it's subject to change.

Oh great!

Now all the guys are gonna start calling me "high maintenance" or something...

(17th of August 111YC) Black shiney thing!

What?!? Us girls like our shiney things!

And I just picked up my new one today: Hollow Life♥, my second Damnation! Don't ask about the first one ¬_¬

I'm not going to go over the incidents that happened the last few days. Suffice to say that, while various members of our organisation couldn't keep neutral grounds - and that's coming from me, I might add - our operations haven't been affected. With my damnation coming into effective use, we will even be able to step up operations into tougher territories. Which makes me feel a damn sight more useful than being a medic.

It does mean, though, that I'm gonna have to seriously stick some effort into these leadership studies. I'm considering neural remapping, but that shit sounds crazier than jumpclones! Besides, if I was any cuter and more charismatic, I'd have to worry about more people falling down on their knees to me. Ok, maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Regardless, I have this damn logistics skill to finish first. Hopefully it'll be useful.

Anywho, I'm gonna keep this post short and sweet while I fly about in my other black shiney thing, Miss Murder♥, picking up stuffs. I think I'll get outta my pod when I get back to station and just admire the damnation for a bit.

(13th of August 111YC) All the peace and joy in your mind.

Those Jitapolitans go right to the head, I tell ya...

Three sisters to relieve, how exquisite the Bliss! Saturday evening was the event of the month, when Sakura Nihil and her sisters hosted a night of drink, dance and debauchery in the Three Sisters Bar and Lounge.

While the event was due to start around 1700 EVT, I was, of course, fashionably late. To be honest, I fell asleep about an hour before it was due to start. When I say I fell asleep, what I actually meant was that I passed out naked on my bed but covered in half my beachwear wardrobe, which, I might add, was extensively topped up the week before in preperation. About three hours later, I woke up, quite startled and in a mild sweat, as I'd set my room climate perameters to tropical and humid to aclimatise my senses to what I expected the party atmosphere would be like (Thank the spirits I did).

So, like, I realised the time and screamed for whichever slaves were available to attend and bring my bar supplies. Their punctuality and preperation of prompt precipitation perfiduous was suitably rewarded in their joining me in drinks. I do quite like my personaal slaves - they sometimes feel more like what I'd expect sorority sisters to be like... had I bothered with such people in my youth.

Anywho, we're getting drunk and trying on various swimwear and beachwear. After about half an hour of trying styles ranging from this seasons exquisite Serpati Styling to Luminaire Boutiques' retro '90YC styles, I went for some good old-fashioned Patorus for my swimming costume, in the form of an all in one piece harkening back to the '50 YC designs with those cute brief-bottoms and kneck tied tops and complemented it with a crimson sarong with ancient Sani Sabik markings printed on it. Some slender Sarpati Styling heels later (which I knew I'd be taking off by the time I got poolside), I was ready to head to the party... somewhat already tipsy. I left the girls to drink as much as they wanted so long as they didn't vomit in my rooms.

~~~

Upon arriving at the Three Sisters, I knew I still had plenty of catching up to do. The upper room was beautifully bedecked, with tropical plants and deckchairs. I kicked off my heels and felt the sand on my feet. I was also glad I had cranked the temp and humidity up in my room as it was even warmer in the bar. I was greeted by a naked Ms Dougans and a sleepy Ms Graves. The delightful Amarrians attire informed me that downstairs could be interesting, so I went on down the elevator to the Laguna. After a peek at the hijinx going on down there, I decided I'd start the night easy back in the upper bar and relax.

Upon coming up to the bar, I encountered the delightful Jonny Damordred. He was as cute as ever, but he was sadly fully dressed in what looked like a Sarpati suit. He was soon accompanied by his lovely Ms Rain and we all adjourned to the bar for drinks and banter.

Now, I'm not one to hold a grudge, but while I was in the lift, I sent a message to a certain Mr. Soter, asking him to come out and enjoy the night with me. The guy is cute and I love the feeling of predation I get around him. Suffice to say, he replied in a manner that wasn't to my liking. I'd be furious at him still were it not that he did offer a later date sometime at the Last Gate. Besides, I can't stay mad at someone that hot.

Anywho, the rest of the night was a delightfully pleasant night, despite no hijinx from yours truly. I actually spent the rest of the night chatting with Jonny and his entourage and later I got to catch up with Ethan, once I got the courage up to navigate the writhing bodies of the tempest that had once been a pool. He cheered me up wonderfully with a little peptalk and sound advice.

The rest of the night was a lot of fun with lots of naked bodies running about the place looking for misplaced or hidden garments, plenty of gossip and banter and lots of alcohol and boob grabbing. After Ethan retired though, I left for a wonder to find some food before coming back later and having a great chat with Vlad Cetes and this Khanid chick... Hitome or something. But I was pretty tired and retired to head home soon after. I'll definately need to chat with Vlad again - such a gentleman.

Thankfully, the amount of fruitjuice in my drinks saved me from a colossal headache the next morning, but I did exhaust myself physically and emotionally and ended up sleeping in.

I think I'll have to take Julianus up on his Gate offer now and make sure Ethan's around to rescue me if I'm stood up again.

I do hope the next social is soon.

(8th of August 111YC) Like a moth to Wolf-Rayets...

Ok so, like, the corporation I'm in are a bunch of ex-killers turned gallente boy-band singers... the money is hot but I feel like we've sold out or something.

Seriously though, I'm beginning to think I need to go back to piracy, but the money here is way too alluring. I've been a lazy bitch all my life. Hell! Even before I became a pod-pilot I was lazy. I used to spend summer wind-surfing on lake Cahnthajisa on Leurtmar IX under a rose coloured sky and every evening was spent partying with the antifrat-boy crowd. I even put my hair in dreads like those of Brutor descent often did, as my hair became too annoyingly tangled from the salt and the wind for me to be bothered with.

But for all my laziness since becoming a pod-pilot, I made very little effort in making isk and was lucky enough not to lose ships enough to really need to worry about it. I ran a few missions for different groups like the Blood Raiders or Thukker Mix just to keep up appearances and to give me something to do in between combat ops. Getting rich doing that seemed more like a bi-product than a goal. And believe me, my goals were few and far-between...

So coming back on topic, I feel I've let my laziness become a major part of me lately. I've not got a target of ships I must destroy. I'm not even risking much when we go deep into wormhole space. In fact, I've been flying one ship in particular and it's helped me become even lazier than I've ever been before. Guardian teams are by far the laziest ship class when it comes to wormhole space. We do the job of armor repairing for other ships in our fleet and spend the rest of the time waiting for the sleepers to get bored of trying to break our 'tanking' and switch to another target. In fact, most of the time we are the targets! And this just makes our job easier as we nearly always keep one remote rep on each other and a horde of light maintenance bots. With these setups, Class 3 wormhole systems become so easy for two guardians and Class 4's become a walk in the park for 3 guardians.

But I'll tell you something. Although the risks are variable and uncertain at times, the rewards are phenomenal. At the rate I'm going, I'll have my Thanatos class carrier by next week and a tech 3 ship within a week or so after that. Hells! I don't think t2 production comes close to the isk generation wormhole space can get, although, I'm sure it's a hella lot safer.

Now, I've never been one to desire much. I collected enough ships in my time to take my fancy on what I fly. And even capital ships have never been high on my list - tho I'd love an Erebus, like what Jade has! But for the first time in ages, I so want a tech 3 ship. Jules, Julianus, Synenose's CEO has already got one, a proteus, and it looks gorgeous... if a little confusing. And Cristina Rawr, who I flew with in Exalted. got a Tengu not long after tech 3 production started. She's even given me her favourite fit for it and it looks weird but exotic.

So like, I'm getting my Thanatos next week. I haven't looked around on where to buy one, but I do know a few contacts of builders. I think my first option should be to speak with Eva. She's been good about building ships for friends and corpmates of mine in the past. I think we get on still, especially as she has so many of my friends and ex-corpmates in her ranks.

Oh. My. God. Speaking of Eva, she's obviously been cheering Davlos up! He's been happy and cheerful like I've never seen him since leaving Omerta Syndicate. He's been such a moody git over the last year or so, but now he grins excessively all the time. He has that "I'm in a secure relationship" vibe. It would piss me off were it not that I'm soft for Dav. He gets it in the neck for his moody Caldari angst by a lot of pilots from various alignments and dayjobs. But now he doesn't need to care as he's in a stable relationship with the CEO of his ex-corp and/or alliance. Goddess! Wonder who's more dominant in the bedroom? I should go chat with them and find out the goss sometime. I hear they hang around the Skyhook sometimes.

Anywho, just as a conclusion to this post-of-way-too-much-effort, I'll have you know that I'm currently in a Class 3 wormhole, Wolf-Rayet I might add, flying my guardian, "Power Struggle♥" and this goes to show how easy and lazy my job is at the moment.

If anyone reads this, drop in the comments on which tech 3 ship I should fly. I'm tempted by the Proteus, but Cristina has me intrigued by the Tengu...

(3rd of August 111YC) Starters...

I blame Ciarente and Silver for this.

It's been a long time since I bothered informing peons, I mean, other people about my lifestyle. Hells, i don't think I've done it since I left Omerta Syndicate. The Neocom is now a fond memory of a corporate experiment - whatever Yuki Li was using it for. I'm not even sure Yuki knew what she was using it for.

Anywho, let's start with the basics.

Heyla! I'm Mebrithiel. Most pilots call me Meb. My minions call me Mistress. My slaves call me Goddess. I'm a pod-pilot, in case you've not seen me on the world news. To those who are wondering, yes, I was responsible for Mabnen I, alongside the lovely Myadra and our escort. I take the blame and the glory. Thank you, thank you.

Ever since I became a pod-pilot, I've opened my eyes and heart to embrace challenges and new experiences. I've created alliances, become a pirate, been a glamour model and even an assassin. I've enslaved, pillaged, plundered and murdered across the New Eden cluster. It was fun!

I've flown with some of the greatest pilots in the known universe: Ethan Verone and his wonderful crue in Veto; Cyshade, Kehmor and Hira'razhir as well as other Blood Inquisition and Cruoris Seraphim pilots; Yuki Li and Kale Ryoko of the exquisite Omerta Syndicate and many others who've followed me along my path, like Leon 026 and Kyoko Sakoda, whom I love dearly.

Even Slackers Industries were a good corp, despite being more fragrantly flamboyant than a male-only Gallente pleasure cruise.

But enough about my past, let's talk about my present.

I've been flying space ships now since June 106YC. I was only 17 when I graduated... a little young to be put through that gruelling affair, but that's my dads fault - whoever he is. I know fly almost every single tech 1 and tech 2 ship currently in production and I've just learnt to fly a carrier too, which should be excelent!

I currently fly with this unique corporation called Synenose Accord. They're a bunch of people from all walks of life and supporters of various factions. They're specialising in wormhole exploration and, more specifically, guaging the Sleepers threat and their advanced technology. I don't really know the exact reasons for joining, other than Hikari, or Deadrow, as she's called, has been with them a while, and I've known her for many years. Oh and the CEO, Julianus Soter - he's quite tasty!

To my suprise, it's become quite a lucrative and eye-opening affair! The isk is rolling in and we're making great headways into understanding the Sleepers and their connection with the Talocan structures they seem to orientate around at times. We've built up a huge database on findings and artifacts, which appeals greatly to my childhood love of archaeology. We've even begun testing new ship designs built with the materials we've discovered. I hope to fly a tech 3 ship soon, once I've made up my bloody mind on which racial designs I like.

The only thing that mildy bothers me is the "no pirating" rule. I think I'll be able to keep myself under control for the time being...

...it's my other self I worry about.

Eugh! I've typed enough today. Go find something to blow up and I'll post more later!
