This week's update is from Fir. Guess having all that power isn't all that great... something I've always personally figured was true. Why be forced to be responsible for so many people? You can't do what you want that way. You can read the full entry at: berelyse.org/archives/671/ -Laura Cee

entry that reads: "It was a good experience for Spica. She hasn’t gotten much of a chance to see what exactly I do amongst the people. What I’ll need her to do amongst the people. It’s one thing to feed the flames of an undying fire, but another entirely to tend to flames that burn out within heartbeats. She sat by my side for every meeting and listened to every silly little request I heard. And after I had asked her her thoughts, she responded with the same spark of intelligence I saw in her at the very beginning. Oh, I was so delighted!

I think the messiness of our first few days together really wore on her. I understand. It was a big transition. But she needs to move past it! We’re destined to sacrifice so much. But for everything we sacrifice — a relationship, an opportunity, a future we extinguish — You give us that and so much more in return. An idea I think she’s finally coming to understand.

We’re also having some excellent conversations. Our last night in Wolfjaw was delightful. I looked at her, and for once, she actually looked back at me. It was like my heart skipped a beat. I can’t remember the last time someone was willing to meet my gaze. Maybe before everything with Scritta fell apart…"

It's been one year since we've launched berelyse.org! Thank you for your patronage. Here's to many more years to come (-: -AP

Amherst Pounce, a man in a brown vest and brown trousers, smiles as he holds a banner that says "first anniversary." Sitting before him at the table is Aimi, in green overalls and brown braids, who smiles at the camera. On the other side is Ellsyx, a woman with a brown ponytail in a red jacket. She holds a cup of coffee and is working on the website berelyse.org. They are celebrating the website's first anniversary!

We'll resume updates to the site once we know how we're handling the records pertaining to Lacuz Village. It's still a long while away, but we do need the full staff's attention for such a major change! Until then, we hope you enjoy what we have on the site.

I'm proud of our fifth major portion of the exhibit as it stands, and while I'm trying to push back, it's proving exceedingly difficult. What our Benefactor wants, our Benefactor often gets. And so we'll need the next few months to sort this... issue out.

The Berelyse Institute of Cultural Illumination @berelyse.org · 01/01/2026

Normally, we take a hiatus of a few weeks between finishing exhibit portions to allow Ellsyx some time to rest. But our Benefactor has encountered some... news... I shall say, that may completely impact our fifth major portion of the exhibit, records pertaining to Lacuz Village.

Hi! I'm Laura Cee and today it's my job to post on this dumb account. Our scanner is broken and the only person who can fix it (Ellsyx) is off. Amherst said I should update the news section instead. I added a screencap here. But totally read the whole thing on our site ⬇️
