I Have My Little Pleasures

These last few weeks have proven difficult and trying for many of us in Asgard. It is no astonishment to find that the recent attacks upon our individuals have only tightened our bonds. With these recent arrivals, I feel the compassion strike in ways it never could before. Henry and Eileen, for example, have bonded immediately due to their relationship in their past life. There is a new man who was walking around today. I have heard his name is Glitch, but I have not had the pleasure of meeting him personally.

On a sour note, those attacks are becoming more frequent. It was Ryuzaki who took the first staggering blow and now Kain seems to be following closely in his footsteps. There has been tension mounting in Dorian and Will. I see it. As for Alessa…I worry. I do not know how to approach her. There are some things that I wish to ask and some ways I wish to comfort her, but she has been fairly distant to me. We spoke once in near depth, but I was left in confusion.

No matter. It appears Will and Henry have made more success with her than I. Should I be so concerned? I never know anymore.

The party is tomorrow. At first I thought it was a mindless move on the part of Asgard to celebrate in a time of crisis. And yet I have found myself mistaken – swayed, even – to the point of nearly looking forward to it. I am not such a social person; therefore I do not intend to stay long. But if it helps in our morale, I support it. There is the matter of Jazz and Shinji at the party. I was at first upset with Mitch and Dorian for their selection, but after some studying of Shinji and some communication with Jazz, I am inclided to say I look forward to meeting them.
