Ink shortage to the max in Dauntless. I can only say I'm glad I found a pen. Starting from the moment we left, it was like that part of me, that part that comes out when I start running, was on the entire time. I could run, I jumped, maybe even hollered, but... I felt blacked out. Sort of like that other night. But it's not so bad this time. I felt aware then. I still do. Maybe the other Erudite transfers are kind of... sketchy. Probably on a different class rotation than me, but... Now they're more like my competition. We're ranked. It's a strange scale, but at least easier on small fries like me. One former Erudite lifts like a beast. I'm screwed. At least I can focus on really earning my keep. It's taxing- Everyday I'm drenched. I've completely given up on makeup for now, it's not worth the effort. I feel tired on a good day, and sore and a bad one. And satisfied all the time. Even though I'm worried, I still have other thoughts. Family, sometimes. I'm assuming they're doing what they're supposed to do, even though I'm gone. Who can say how this really feels now? I'm too far removed to go check out home, and it's not a good idea to. Gotta say, even though it is such a different world, it's got a certain feeling of home about it. The smell. The light. The color of everything outside the window. Perhaps it's living subterranean that makes me feel this way? The food is pretty damn good here, and maybe endless? I've yet to run into any locals that I've met in the mess hall. Sparingly, I allow a moment or two a day to stop and... Just think about orchards and lemon cakes... Summer love. Everything in retrospect. Wish I had a photograph... The future can't come quick enough. Waiting is agony, truly. Hate to say, but it's also distracting. Pining away, even though I need to keep an eye on the prize at all times. I find the line between Erudite ambition and Dauntless ambition blurred. Could I find a distinction? Too much milage for one pen. Conserving ink.
