Ingred's Journal Entry 1: First Impressions

Lily:
I appreciate Lily's dedication to her line of work and the sophistication that she has shown so far, but I think she could use an extra set of hands to keep the party under control. In general Lily is rather admirable. She must have having worked very hard to get to where she is today. I am thankful for the kindness that she has shown me so far and the effort she has put into making me feel a part of the group.

Seipora:
I am....a little caught off guard by how open Seipora is about her past. It is interesting to meet someone from where Bo grew up, especially now, since the only two people I know from Solheim are both BARDS. I look forward to hearing stories from Seipora, but I don't want to get too close to the orc. I don't think that I can trust Seipora's judgement, yet. She seems to be struggling with self-control.

Things that happen in the past can be traumatic but you carry on. You have to. Don't drag others into it...

I am concerned with how Seipora reacted to K's sudden outburst in the archives and how quick she was to give up her life for little to no reason. She seems rather... drastic. Emotional, I suppose is a better word for it.

Mixy:
I hate to say it but I am genuinely relieved that I am no longer the shortest member in the group. I think I can get along well with Mixy, seeing as we share a love for plants and seeds. To be honest I am a bit put off by Mixy's faith in superstitious items, but I will respect her different beliefs. I am empathetic towards Mixy's lack of knowledge about the world and I am eager to show her some of the beauties outside her (previously...sheltered?) life. Just as Bo did for me.

Anthos:
In general I think that Anthos is a... good. guy. He may have poor judgement though, based on what I've seen so far. I... I am angry at Anthos's behavior; how he punched that archivist because he didn't give him what he wanted. His actions were rather childish and I... want to be honest about how I feel regarding the encounter in the archives. I do not condone unnecessary violence. I hope he will listen to what I have to say with an open mind.

K:
uhhhhh so I won't sugarcoat it, I am very wary of K. I think that he also has poor judgement and doesn't consider the well being of his party members before deciding how to act. I do not want to be involved with K until he understands the importance of communication within the group. Especially if he is struggling to control his urges. He doesn't scare me, but his lack of restraint does.

Group Experiences:
I feel disconnected from the others a bit. I now realize that I am the only non-magic-user in the party, and because of that I may have a difficult time opening up to the group. Originally I had mixed expectations for my future party members, but... I could not have been prepared for the lack of discipline that was shown in the archives. It has been a long time since I have felt so embarrassed... I feel rather upset by how things went down. I wish to discuss things with Anthos and K the next chance I can get, maybe we will have some time alone to... clarify some things... and hopefully mend some of the negativity I'm feeling towards them. I don't like feeling this way. I hoped that I would get a chance to meet some good people for once by starting my adventuring career. I now hope that I am wrong about how I see the boys. I now hope they can prove me wrong.
