in some good news in the world, a trial for AMT-130 treatment for huntingtons had really really good results and its probably gonna get rolled out soon

in bad news i never invested in the company that was doing all of that and they went up like 200%, which is the whole reason I was following this as much as I did, but at some point I kinda forgot about the stock market and was just rooting for a cure. But we party tonight regardless because the trial results are so huge

its not a cure fwiw but they slowed progression by a really significant amount, I’m hoping a lot of countries loop this into their healthcare coverage

…this went quickly downhill after the tenth symbol. (The 13th symbol had to be expanded into two characters…)
2nd 平成 surprisingly came from Latin.
I miss 4th 平成. We need more Greek.
From 10th 平成 onwards …it’s basically impossible to encompass everything into only one symbol for most of them. So I had to resort to using emojis.
13th 平成 etymology is… so stupid…

List of POVs and Episodes
Shit. The VODs are disappearing faster than expected on POV3. Gotta watch them ASAP and log them before my future self loses the records like what happened to POV10 E1. Sorry POV9 E10, I swear I’ll continue with you after POV3 E8.
To be honest at this point I really should consider decreasing my POVs so I can focus on other POVs. I took on more POVs because I had more time in the past, but… clearly that is no longer the case.
Guard-Guild joint meeting. (Exempt from jogging because Tetch is commissar.) Dealing with mercs about payment for their work at E6 and E7. (Basically gathering materials.)
Bread that was meant to last a month disappeared due to rat infestation. Haldvar -the big vagabond suffering from malnutrition- was unable to get three meals. ((Hopefully we won’t have to roll death saves for this in the future.))
Tetch heard voice of woman from Solomon’s room. (Probably wraith.) Talked with Declan about the first encounter with the poppy field.
((Off-topic, I sure hope Declan’s theft of Gwen’s belt buckle gets quietly forgotten in time.))
Morning meeting with mercs for jobs. Many excursions and gatherings, but since mainly guildsmen and guard, not many merc will be going out. Oliver requests rise in raise, which was apparently discussed prior to meeting.
Lumi with coven, north gathering. Oliver, south expedition. Haldvar, north expedition. Rest are material gathering. (I.e., wood and ore.) Expected to be slow day.
Bracken, Tetch, and Evie, north expedition. Justin and Tetch tired. Justin plan: Train others, tear down fence to build church. Evie interested in Oliver’s compass. (Map-making.) Evie and Tetch looking for Mr. Thorn.
((Literally nobody uses Thorn’s first name: Francis. At least Silas occassionally calls Declan Mr. Steele. Formal people do be using surnames, but finding people who use first names only… Maybe guardsmen? Justin calls Tetch Lanny.))
[Dorothy’s little brother asked Solomon for “job”.] Oliver debated about payment with Bracken. ((Ya, no. Oliver ain’t gonna win that debate in the long run. This ain’t a bazaar where the guild makes a counteroffer.)) Lumi going north anyway. (Secret deals and all that from previous days.) –wut. Solomon rewarded Lumi’s action with eight pieces instead of six. ((Not sure how to feel about this.))
Stiorra dragged Oliver with her anyway. No guildsmen going on north gathering? (Vaan not seen → Not going.) Dahlia struggling wearing backpack, lol. ((Dr. Robin running to his house?)) North gathering sent off. Apology to Gwen for lack of merc in north gathering. Gwen sided with mercs. Dane paid mercs to work for E8 (presumably from own pocket). Oliver going on north expedition.
Greeting w. Thomas Moore. (His title is apparently called Censor. I.e., church version of protector.) Haldvar daily payment is twelve pieces… (Mercs got 3x six pieces at morning. Maybe the twelve is his share that was unpaid before?) …? Logan at doctors, something about paralyzed? ((Why Tetch in spec mode?))
Evie talking with one o’ the mercs. (Character name unknown. Actor username Paladin.) (James Roland.) Edward talking with Bracken. Evie → Mr. Thorn → Tetch, complaint: Theo’s pay, 3 pieces. ((Later, went to Solomon. Dangit Declan, you good man, but pettiness cause internal strife.))
Leopold will fix Theo’s pay. Mr. Thorn wanted ore for church. (And therefore men to mine the ores.) Faelynn Thaelin greeted Evie. ((Huh… I never noticed how Evie’s storyline is also important.)) Roland is informed of situation of money, and is willing to work for four pieces per mission. (Mr. Thorn approved.) Management issue with who goes on which expedition.
Roland chooses 4 p.p.m. instead of 6 p.p.m. (which Tetch offered with what authority?) so other mercs’ pay don’t get docked when strike’s over. ((Huh… Tetch is also DM, apparently. I mean, I knew he hung out with other DMs, but he hadn’t played much role as DM before, so…))
Logan performing crazy stunt. (Climbing rock… for bowmanship training, 'cuz it is neither a wall nor a building.) Someone somewhere rolled three 1s for injuries– Oh. This was from the bear attack. The northern gathering. …oof. Someone was bleeding out. (Probably Joshua?) ((Poor doctors… Kudos to actors acting injured. The pain sounded real to me.)) Tetch’s actor acted as patrol guard.
