*****It had been some time since Lasherette ventured into towne. But after a long absence due to illness and other matters, she did so. Stopping in the Marketplace checking out the new shops. The Glen, where she spent some time, just getting back to nature. And yes...the RDI. Hoping to perhaps run into some old friends, she found it full of new faces, instead. There were some some olde faces...folks she never spoke to or spoke to her...and this she could see would continue to be the case.

Wondering where all the fun people went to...she dared ask one patron and received a harsh response. So, she wouldn't make that mistake again. So perhaps she will return there once in awhile. But it would more than likely not be as much as she used to.

However, she will keep up her journal. Even though recent pages of it seem to have been scattered to the wind somehow. Maybe she'll run across them maybe she won't. They obviously didn't matter all that much to her, afterall.

Maybe she should try to just start a new Journal...just as she is trying to start a new life. She's had enough drama to last a lifetime. And maybe, just maybe...the spirit of life that once was filled the common room of the RDI would come back anew as well. Time will tell.***********
