I just wandered into a really pretty placed called The Morning Star Cafe. I could smell coffee, and I really wanted one. I walked in and spoke to a nice gentleman at the door, and he asked me to check my weapon. I got too nervous to give it to him, so I found a secret place outside and hid it. I'm currently sitting on a couch upstairs by myself.
There's a nice boy on the couch now. It looks like he's about to talk to -
Okay, I'm back. I just grabbed my weapon, and I'm outside now. I met 2 people named Kati and Boony! They let me share the couch with them, even though they looked like they were discussing business. I think they might have been making a list of games for them to play later. They told me they were married. They were really nice.

I'm writing this as I'm sitting on the dock. So, after I left earlier, I went to the Azure Cafe. I met a nice waiter named Stabby and a man named Ra'shevrah Tia. He was kinda mysterious.. BUT SUPER NICE. He said he worked in Ishgard. I told him he was super strong, but he disagreed.
Stabby gave me really good advice. He said to do "a little each day" and I'll get to where I want to be..
I miss daddy so much..
BUT GET THIS: I TOUCHED A DRAGON SCALE TODAY. Shevvy gave me one and told me to give it to his friend. Her name was Ninifa Nifa. I think she was some kind of investigator. She was really cool, but kinda intimidating..
They talked about something called The Grindstone? Maybe it's something you use to sharpen weapons.. Idk.
Shevvy was also talking about some kind of gun or something. He seems to need a gun to complete some sort of challenge? Idk, but he said he had a lot to learn. But later, Shevvy and I went to the library. A nice person who worked at the cafe let me borrow a book. The book was called "Axes and You: For Beginners". I'm so excited to read this. (I hope I remember to bring it back.) Oh well, I'm going to sleep now. I'm really tired. I'll write more tomorrow!

OMG TONIGHT WAS SO FUN. I MET SILVEY! I was doodling by the fire downstairs at The Shroudrose Teahouse and Tavern.. It smelled SO GOOD and I overheard someone say that there was a show or something, so I decided to go inside.. There was a beautiful lady working there. I heard someone else talking about how they possibly needed more staff.. I don't know.. I probably should see if I would be of any help to them.. But I don't know what I could do for them.. I'm too clumsy and I might mess up someone's order..
I'll think about that later. ANYWAY-
I met Silvey and he seemed so nice. Someone else came in later and was talking to him, and then I got really sleepy, so I decided to leave early. I didn't want to interrupt them. Obviously he was meeting him there. I think his friend was going to perform. I wish I would have stayed, but it would have been rude if I fell asleep. Also, do you think Silvey got mad at me for calling him that? But I give people the cutest nicknames! Heheeeee. Oh well, I hope I see Silvey again someday..
---
I've been thinking.. I keep wandering around at night and finding different cafes to try, and different things to pass the time.. I'm never going to find a friend like that. So.. this is how loneliness really feels, huh? I want to feel needed so bad..
..
..
What should I do?
---
I JUST HAD THE BEST SANDWICH
---
I got a new axe today. I've been reading that book and learning a lot. I'm thinking of you, daddy.

Today I decided to go adventuring. I stumbled into an extremely snowy area that was so beautiful. I asked an adventurer what this area was called, and they informed me that we were in the Coerthas Central Highlands. I can’t believe how pretty this place is!
I met a man named Ludovoix at the entrance of a place called House Durendaire, and after finding his friend and saving him, they let me go inside to warm up. I think I’ll finish writing this and then head back to Gridania because I’m extremely cold.

I found my way to this beautiful place called The Shroudrose Teahouse. It’s so cute inside! There was a super pretty girl greeting at the door. I think she maybe owns this place? Hmm.. Well, I decided to order a fruit tea because it sounded good, and I’m really thirsty. Whatever music is playing in here is really nice and soothing. OH! They had a fish tank! It was SO CUTE! AND SO BIG! I couldn’t really see it, so I had to get on top of the stairs to look at it, but it was so cute. I named one of the fish Swimmy. I don’t remember which one it was though. Oh well.
There’s a person at the table next to me eating so many sweets and cakes. I wasn’t too hungry, so I didn’t get anything to eat.. I might later, though.
This tea is so so good! It’s really fruity. It tastes like pineapple with a hint of something else that I can’t put my finger on. My waitress was SO CUTE, TOO! I have always thought about trying to find work around here. I’m starting to run out of gil.. Am I too clumsy to be a waitress? Hmm..
That Lalafell sitting at the table next to me was causing some sort of commotion. I think they ordered more cakes. Hehe. – Actually, I think they might be in some kind of trouble.
I figured it out! The one I named Swimmy was a big fat white one with spots on his back!
I decided to buy a Rolanberry shortcake.
A Lalafell named Vinalo Mabunalo asked if he could sit next to me. He told me he was a botanist. He told me his friend liked hot cocoa with mint, and that’s all I can think about now. We split the shortcake!
Oh my gosh. I just ran out of the teahouse so fast.. The owner – I’m not sure what her name is, but she’s so beautiful and confident and radiant, and I want to work there! I really do! But I just couldn’t find the courage to ask if they were hiring. I’ll just come back sometime soon and see if I can gather the courage to talk to her.. But for now, it’s bedtime. I’m almost out of money.. I’m not going to be able to survive on this remaining gil for much longer..

So, I’m currently sitting on a rock on the beach in Mist. I had this super vivid dream last night about me working as a waitress, and I literally spilled hot coffee all over a customer. I’m not sure I’m cut out for serving..
Sitting here, I can hear someone shouting about lemonade and snow cones. I am a bit thirsty, being out here in the hot sun. I think I might go get a lemonade! I’ll write more later! x
-
I found a bench, and I decided to sit here and observe the other people for a while. I feel like there are so many people.. I’ll probably get lost in the crowd.
-
Well, that was easy. Sitting on the bench, a cute girl came and brought me some water. She didn’t want me to pay her anything, but I paid her anyway. I think I’m going to go down to the beach.. I overheard a bunch of people were going down there. Maybe I’ll find someone to talk to, hehe.
-
Ugh, my journal got wet from the rain. Literally as I wrote I was going down to the beach, it started to rain. I found a big umbrella thingie to sit under, though. Hehe. I don’t think I’m going to find anyone to talk to, so I might just doodle for a bit.
-
A really nice lady in a hat let me sit under a different umbrella thingie with her and her friends. She said she didn’t work there, but she was a regular. Her name was Nova. She was so pretty!! Anyway, I'm getting sleepy, so I'll write more later!
goodnight x

6th Sun of the 4th Astral Moon
I decided to stop by the Shroudrose Teahouse again. I ordered a lavender macaron! I can’t wait to try it! I saw Vinalo again~ They were with their friend Papari tonight. They said they weren’t done with the book yet, but they promised I’d still get an autographed copy of it! I’m so excited for it.
//// VINALO OWES ME A SIGNED COPY OF THEIR BOOK ////
I literally just ran out of the teahouse. They probably think I'm crazy.. Idk if they saw me crying or not, but ugh. Papari said she has devices that could help protect me when leaving cities. I ran as fast as I could and found my stash of gil where I hid it. I don’t know how much she charges for these devices, but I could use anything I can get my hands on..
I needed a second to stop crying and to calm down, so I decided to sit outside the teahouse and write this before I went back in.
Can I possibly avenge my father? I wonder if any of the devices will make me strong enough to kill that sea dragon..

6th Sun of the 4th Astral Moon (Contd.)
Okay, tonight definitely didn’t go how I thought it would go. First of all, I’m pretty sure I made Vinalo super uncomfortable. I tried to hug them, and they got upset. I feel so stupid. Secondly, Papari said that she didn’t know if any of her devices will help me with hunting that monster if I’m not already fully prepared to slay it. I guess I got too excited.. I promised them both that I would take my training seriously and not go after the monster if I wasn’t ready.. which I’m definitely not. I see that now.
In order for me to be able to train, I HAVE to find somewhere to live. I’m really running out of gil, now. I have to find a place to stay. That’s where the weirdest part of the night comes in. I randomly got the courage to ask Faye Covington, the owner of the Shroudrose Teahouse, if she was hiring any more help, and she said she was! I’m so relieved.. I need to get some gil together in order to find a more permanent place to live. After that, I’ll do my best to train in order to avenge my father.. But for now.. I’ll do my best to train as a waitress! Wish me luck! .. Who am I talking to, myself? Anyway, I’ll write more later!

OKAY. I know what you're thinking. I haven't written in here in, like, forever. BUT I HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE!
I was reading. Like, a lot. I remembered that I still have a book that I never returned. Oops. So, I read the whole thing. And now I feel like I have a better grip on how to use an axe.
Also, I have my first shift as a waitress tonight. Um, I don't have any cute clothes or anything.. So I wonder if I'll get in trouble if I just wear what I have on now.. Wish me luck!
So I just got done with work! It was my first shift.. and it went so good!! I'm so happy~ Pretty much everyone was so nice! There were a couple strange interactions, though.. Like one lady asked about us cooking her own raw shrimp.. And the cute girl who was taking orders with me got sick. I think she might have been pregnant.. BUT, then that same person asked about a buch of people and I didn't know what to say because I hardly know anyone yet.. Idk, it was a bit strange. Then two guys came up to me winking and asking about alcohol.. and they kept saying everything in quotes.. like "cake" and "tea" meant secret things.. Hehe, it was so strange. But I had a great first day!!

Oh my goodnessssss. I'm sitting in the teahouse on my break. HA. Speaking of breaks.. I broke a plate. I'm pretty sure the entire teahouse heard me in the kitchen. I cut my ankle, so I had to run out of there and change my outfit. I soaked my tights in cold water, and that's where they are right now. I have to get back to work soon, but I figured I would write in here before I forget everything that happened. I met a new employee today, I think her name was C'leyla, but I don't know if I heard that right. There was also a man named Greyson and he was very nice when I broke the dish. Everyone has been so friendly to me, and for that, I'm eternally grateful.

I helped out today at the Fiesta Cove beach party in Costa del Sol by handing out desserts to the guests! This event was a collaboration with Wonderfaire, and they were very nice! There were lots of other yummy foods, but I handed out Bubble Chocolate, Pearl Chocolate, Coffee Biscuits, and Rolanberry Shaved Ice at the event! It was so fun. I was with Charlotte, Faye, and Mibs. Mibs was saying hilarious things, and they all made me laugh. The person in charge of Wonderfaire’s name was Grei, and he was very nice! I love working with Shroudrose Teahouse so much. I also got to watch Charlotte dance a bunch! She’s so good at dancing.

I heard about a pool party being hosted by a person named Atlas. It was happening in the front yard of our Teahouse, so I decided to check it out, even though I don’t know too many people, other than the people from work. The pool was super cute. I decided to sit nearby on a long chair shaded by an umbrella. A really nice guy named Mr. Boba invited me to sit with him. He said he just came back from a leave from somewhere. Atlas gave us a slice of melon, but he only had one. Mr. Boba told me I could have it. He’s so nice. He also made me a bracelet. It’s made of flowers. I’m so grateful to have met a new friend! I’ll treasure this bracelet forever and never take it off!
