Denzink unt soch

The Consulate Anniversary in Steelhead has been going on all weekend, and unfortunately I've only been able to make it to one of the dances. Fortunately, it was a good one! I danced with lots of pretty girls, like Frau Poppy and Fraulein Skytower and Fraulein Kamenev.

There is a picture of me dancing with Frau Poppy. She is a good dancer and she takes good photos also.

Oh ho

Today I was involved in a photoshoot with Herr Veles and Herr Greegar, taken by the illustrious Frau Poppy.

You better watch out, or we will steal all of your womens. ;)

Schteelhead, ahoy!

Since the last time I wrote, I've met both the Vice Consul to Europa, Frau Annechen Lowey, and the Consul, Herr Baron Klaus Wulfenbach. There are a lot of nice people in Steelhead, and I am now an official Schteelhead Jäger! Hoo!

Herr Greegar also gave me a nice hat. It is a good day.

Hoo!

Today, I went wandering about Steelhead, not expecting to see anyone, really (I have the worst luck finding people!) and I ran into a Fraulein Eugenia Burton. She was very good-looking and very nice. I told her she looked like a pretty Jägerfrau, and she told me that she was Djinn. I had never met a Djinn before today! She showed me around Steelhead and told me of other Jägerkin in the area. And then, she asked the Steelheaders to make me an honorary citizen of their town!

I talked to other Jägerkin via the inter-modulary communication device, but I could only hear them, I could not see them in person.

The more I explore this world, the more I am enjoying it.

Wandering.

Had a nice conversation today with some interesting doll women in Winterfell Absinthe. They were very welcoming, and I was even invited to a party! Ho!

Later, I wandered more about Winterfell, and was warmly greeted by a Frau Serra Anansi. She welcomed me to Winterfell, and she mentioned that I might like to introduce myself to Baron Wulfenbach.

Hum... I thought to myself. Hy surely knowz dot name... Hy vunderz how many Europanz travel to diz place?

If people I don't even know are telling me this, it seems inevitable that I should meet him one of these days.

Upon my arrival.

When I first arrived in this world, what locals sometimes call the Grid, I honestly wondered if it was nothing but a ghost town. I never seemed to encounter anyone else, Jägerkin or not. But then, one night, I was wandering aimlessly around the land called Antiquity, when I heard someone greet me. I was surprised, and I didn't know how I would be received, having never met any of the locals. But he was wearing a uniform, and he had a nice hat, so I figured hey, vy not?

I learned a couple of things from him: one, that there are other Jägermonsters in the land, and two, that he had never actually met one before. His words were something to the effect of "just because I have not seen them, does not mean they aren't here."

He also told me about a group of people in Antiquity who engage in fighting with each other... for fun. Ha! In a land such as this, how can there not be Jägerkin involved?

He was a very nice man. And like I said, he had a nice hat. It was well done.

Later in the evening, utilizing my personal transport device that I suppose every resident of this Grid must have, though this has not yet been confirmed for me (the man I talked to disappeared in the manner of the transport device, and it didn't seem strange), I travelled to the northern lands of Caledon for the first time. The few people I happened across didn't seem fazed by me, which was good, but neither did they want to talk to me. In the far north of Caledon, I had to stop when I reached a body of water, but I could see land on the other side, so with another vy not? I swam across the Caledon border into Winterfell.

Winterfell. What a beautiful place! I shook my hair out, dumped the water out of my hat, and kept walking. I wandered through the fog of Winterfell until I found buildings and streets again. Perhaps more people? No, no one was there. But I heard the crackling of a fire, and a wet Jäger and fire make good companions. Imagine my surprise when I noticed the sign proclaiming Der Hut des Jägers. Inside... strong liquor, and a map of Europa.

Oh, now I knew I was in the right place after all. I felt at home again.

I sat by the fire, warming myself inside and out with the help of some local spirits.

And I smiled.
