Sunny winter day, let’s see how the spring unfolds.

"Why are you still up, shouldn't you be resting?" I got Kills to pay.

Uldah has always been so pretty this time of night.

My wardrobe is filled with fashion from across the world. From Hingan's Ruby Market street Lolita to Eorzean classic, to Shrine Maiden sheik.

I am not in the Business of Fashion, but I wear what I know will fashion Business.

It's Showtime

The rain outside seemed to chill to the bone, but once you hear just inside a massive tent, with a large, round entrance hole, the rabble and conversation seemed to die down. A singular voice rang out, hushing the crowd inside.

"Welcome ladies and gentlefolk. Today, I'd like to make your acquaintance and share with you the wonderful world of magic and mysticism."

The woman smiled, widely, and beamed to the small crowd, it was comforting and yet at the same time almost a little unnerving to the senses, as if the hackles on your neck rose and fell with the throng of the crowd.

Stepping closer together she beconed the crowd to turn and follow her deeper inside. The dark green rugs, and the lighting inside seemed to harness the wilderness and yet, it's rustic and charming feel, the soft smell of rosewood and pine, cherry, cedar, and a hint of sandlewood all floated from place to place as her hands moved and she spoke again.

"Once inside the tent, you will be amazed and be wondered by the sheer awesomeness inside. I promise you won't be disappointed."

"Even though for now, I ask you keep silent, for just a moment before the show starts. "

She moved as she spoke, closer and closer to the door behind her, all the while keeping her eyes fixed on everyone and no one at the same moment. Why did the music you heard when you first came in seem to muffle, or was it always like that. Senses dulled slightly, but sharpen as her voice cracked the air once again.

"Behave now, things are just about to get into full swing. Watch, as I share the biggest secret of all." Her hand, her whole stance changed, the soft tingle of scents hit the crowd once more... or was there ever a crowd? Could this have been the trick all along, was there ever a reason to truly believe her? No, of course there was, she just wanted to share a magic trick...

Her smile, her gaze, it truly WAS magical. The wilder side of the circus had come at last!

"The wonders of it all, the powerful magic and mystical wonders. The lights will flash before your eyes, only to be left wondering how it all became so real! Worry not and gather round. The show, is about to start!"

The snap of her finger drew you in closer, the smile, oh the smile, and the laughter. Yes, the laughter was the best part of it all...

The End

With the End feeling so close, and the dreams of what had come to pass. It felt fitting, that the Scions and I were finally able to see what could be, come true.

The bite is much worse than you think here...

Happy New Year

Spring

”The cherry blossoms are quite lovely this year.  Perhaps I will have to tend to things a bit more at the house, now that the weather has started to get warmer again.”

[ffxivhimiko]

The beauty was plenty.  Even from the command post it was plain that this world was not so damaged that it couldn’t recover.  The colors were bright and the air was clean.  This is what it means to protect the earth and those around it.  

Glory to Mankind!

Days

Sometimes it pays to have your own business.  The finery is always fashionable, and the less you worry about the middle man, the better.  

Sometimes, It’s just better.  Now, relaxing... Of course I relax.  How dare you even ask such trivial things, I think you forget who you are speaking with.  It’s fine, just speak with Sakura, she will give you want you need for the Mens side bath.  Go on then...

Moonfire

Summer, winding to a close, but there is still time for one last hurrah.  A time to reflect, and forget on the beach, and enjoy the Summer Sun

Sakura Blooms

 The trees, blooming quite lovely.  The day, warm, but not too much so.  Everything seemed to simply make sense.  

Another peaceful day at home, for the family.
