Jerrath: April 10

     Standing outside Newbie Tower talking to my good friend Skitz. At this moment in my Jerrath history he is my only friend other than Ciara and Ruthie. Ciara of course is my sister, so I grew up with her. But in this strange new land we've come across it's hard to make lasting friendships. It's odd that the first person to befriend me is someone who scared the crap out of me the first time I saw him. But how is a sweet innocent girl supposed to react when she sees a large red lizard with a huge sword? When he followed me out of the trivia house, I thought he wanted to eat me.

     I had spent a lot of time held up in a strange place called Newbie Land. I'm not sure why it was called that, I think some great person named Newbie must have done great things there. Maybe he or she used to live in that old tower, which is why it's called Newbie Tower? Perhaps I'll ask one day for the history of these locations.

     Though by the time I started this journal I had made a friend I met in Newbie Land. His name is Delenok. Next to the big red lizard, he's my only friend here, as of this time. I might make more later.

     This is a truly strange place, this world called Jerrath. My big red lizard friend said he was jumped by a white dragon that forced him to dress like a stripper. It's amazing how well a red male lizard can look like a human female playboy bunny. I heard a rumor that other lizard men had faced the same strange fate. This legendary, magical white dragon must really be something to fear. I'll remember to run when I see him. Skitz seemed tired after his ordeal with the white dragon, so he went back to his clan house for some rest.

     I then decided to hang out with my other friend Delenok. He took me to a place I've never been before. To Nende. But then this is the first time I've been away from Newbie Land. I've grown comfortable with Newbie Land and my occasional trip to Wayreth to sell things. I sleep at the campfire and don't venture out. There are murderers, thief, and cutthroats out there. Not to mention white dragons.

Del and I spent a great deal of the day training in a place we later guessed we were not supposed to be. The door was unlocked when we found it though, he didn't break it. Del is a nice guy. He's the sword swinging type, and for some reason he thinks my meager magic does some good. I just smile and nod. He does most the work, but I enjoy the company more than the hunting.

     When I'm not training or sitting around with friends I like to go to trivias. I don't keep an account of every trivia I go to, because I go whenever I know one is being held. In fact it's at a trivia I met my red lizard friend, Skitz. Trivia is often held at the Grape Post. Strange name for a place. Some guy named Roland stole a sign, but no one ever seems to be able to find this Roland or the missing sign. I do love a good mystery.

     Speaking of mysteries. At trivia I was sitting at a table with Spectral Cat -strange name- who earlier was suck on a roof top. We had gone to an event the day before where we watched people killing chocobos in a strange race. At the end of this event The Powers That Be warped us all back to Wayreth. Cat got warped onto a roof top, and didn't seem to know how to get herself down. Alls well that ends well I guess and she doesn't seem that upset about the whole thing.

     Also this day, while hunting with Delanok, I gain so much experience and practice it was time for me to move on to bigger things. I removed my Shaman gear and put on the gear of a Charlatan. Of course I don't like being called that, but it is the next rank in my job classification. And on this road to fame and fortune, I'll take the bad along with the good.

     After trivia on this day I was invited to enter the home of Booty. She had been the winner from the strange Kill the Chocobo game the day before. Booty rents an apartment at the Grape Post, so it wasn't far to walk. I didn't know any of these people all that well, but I like to make new friends so I entered. I sat across from a guy called Speedy whom I'd met while guarding The Tree. We all sat around and talked, having a nice time of socializing. Unfortunately, Booty didn't have enough chairs for everyone. But I hear she ordered a larger table that's on it's way, so next time all her friends can sit down.

     It's been a long day so far, but it's not over yet. I'm getting the idea that I should get out of Newbie Land more often now. I was invited to a party by a large spider. I'd heard stories of this spider and he's supposed to be all scary and powerful. I've heard he's one of the most powerful mages, so naturally I was eager to meet him despite the danger. Anything for the chance to poke the brain of a higher lv magic user.

     I met up with a snake called Puppetmaster. I'd heard of this one too, because he was friends with Skitz. Funny, but I'd always pictured him as a lizard as well. I was surprised to see he was a snake. Puppet and I followed Mr. Pickles back to the OM clan house, where the party was supposed to be held. There was only one other person there however -a cute devil boy- which gave me the impression it could be a trap. I am an enchantress, so I just turned the charm up a notch.

     Mr. Pickles had to step away, and Puppet insisted that we run around the clan house to take a look. I tried to tell him it was a bad idea. But he just wouldn't listen. . . Well okay, it was all my idea. So we started with Mr. Pickles' lab. I knew where it was from following Mr. Pickles around upon first arriving. While in the lab, Puppet decided it was time to molt and left his old skin on Mr. Pickles' desk. I sure hope I don't get any blame for that.
