It would appear that Monsieur Saxon was only with us long enough to remind us of his existence. Anyone who has spent some measure of time about this ship that added up to more than a year might consider that cause for celebration. Perhaps some part of me stands to feel relieved at his departure, as well, but it won't be.
To my knowledge, the Master has been an off and on denizen of this ship, as an Inmate, since before even I came here. And because I do have some modicum of faith in what this ship can do for people, it is...concerning, at best, that so much time has gone with no anchor to keep him here, nor sign of progress -- time that is perhaps infinitesimal in the scheme of things to a man of his race, that is in itself so very long lived.
Thinking aloud had its benefits, and I will not pretend that I mark this passing for wholly sympathetic intentions. Since I have known this Inmate since I myself was one, and I am coming upon that part of my novel, I have come to realize that while I see his actions as his own to answer for, there are likely several things that I myself have done for which I have never apologized.

99 -- backdated to Christmas Day
Dec. 26th, 2009 05:28 pmMy darlings, I've been entirely too quiet since my return from port, but I must admit that I've been completely run off my feet. So very much to do in so little time, but I enjoyed every moment of it and the company that I kept. This morning I did not expect to receive as much as I did, if anything at all. Allow me then to thank you each individually:
( The Thank you List )
And finally I've been gifted by our dear Pere Noel with a companion. I am rather fond of dogs, so this little one will be a good distraction for me. She's rather energetic, so I am half-tempted to name her after Giselle. What do you think, readers? I shall have to read on her breed -- which according to this book is Groenendael.
I look forward to seeing all of you at the gala tonight.

97 - Pere Noel Letter
Dec. 14th, 2009 12:21 pmPere Noel,
Compelled to write to you though I very well may be, I realize you are the only source most of us have for these silly traditions of gift exchange -- and while I never professed any love of Christianity, I have never been averse to the familial aspects of the season when it has been my opportunity to enjoy them. For this reason I am resisting this a good deal less than I did last year. I am terrible at choosing gifts, however, so I will do my best.
( If it's behind the cut it's not visible to the public. The rest is, though )
Finally -- for myself. I should like a dog. I know not what specific breed you should bring, but it must be an active sort, but also very loyal, intelligent, and most importantly protective.
I trust you to handle things.

(ooc: Simm!Master's gift? A beard trimmer. Haha, Marquis. The breed of dog he'll wind up with: A Groenendael.)
