You are the definition of a Mook . <| sep |> This is actually part of a longer story I ' m sort of stuck on right now , I ' d love to hear some advice on improving my style if that ' s at all possible . Thanks for reading ! VA Means Vale AttackVA 3 days I haven ' t seen any Grimm since I left . They all congealed around the dragon in the city . All the big name huntsmen have left the city . Tactical retreat , they called it . My name is Caden Barrion . I lived in Vale until the attack . I ' m writing these in case someone who knows me goes and looks for me . If I die , I need someone to know what happened . or something like that . Truthfully all this walking is dull , and it distracts me from thinking about things . I grabbed as many supplies as I could before I left . Not much , only enough food for a few weeks if I ' m lucky . I ' ve made it a little ways on my own . I saw a flash of red a few days ago , thought it might have been Ruby Rose , but I doubt it . She ' s something of a celebrity in Vale , or . was . Yeah . Anyways . I won ' t last a week in the wilds of Vacuo , and I ' m not prepared for the cold of Atlas , so Mistral it is . Grimm are sparse for now . In fact I haven ' t seen one since the attack . Must have all gone to the city . Also , I ' ll be logging time in days since the attack on Vale . Just makes more sense to me . VA 4 daysMade it about 10 miles today , according to my scroll . Found a road leading into the city that I ' m following now . I don ' t exactly have a map to follow , and since the CCT is down , all my scroll is good for at the moment is logging these journals . The solar cells keep it charged , and I don ' t use it too much , just to check nightly if they ' ve repaired the tower system . I suppose the tower being down still is a good thing , it means the armies more specifically Atlas ' hasn ' t given up on retaking the city . I don ' t really have the food to be on the road like this . I ' m fine for now , but Mistral is about 2000 miles away , if I remember correctly from the maps . I either need to move faster or get more food . I ' d prefer the former , as I ' d also like to not die trying to get there . That said , one problem at a time . Still no one in sight . I hope I ' ll see someone on this road . I ' m enjoying the peace for now , but soon the lack of real conversation is going to wear thin , I can feel it . VA 5 daysAbout 15 miles today . Found a car with some animal corpses in the seats . They had some food in the back , and a . smaller animal . Still no one on the road . Food ' s a little better , found some in the car . Got enough for a month now . No grimm spotted . The city is just a blip on the horizon now . From out here you can ' t even notice the damage . I can imagine it ' s perfectly fine . I ' m just one of the adventurers who walk the paths near the city and clear out grimm , though . well I still don ' t have a plan for grimm . I suppose I ' d run . But that ' s no plan . I couldn ' t grab one of the Huntsmen ' s weapons when I left . I was in a hurry , what with the kingdom falling apart . Sue me . I ' m not sleeping tonight . VA 7 daysStill no one else . I simply can ' t believe that everyone would be just gone like that . I know at least a few people must have made it out . VA 7 days , entry 2 I met someone today , a little girl . She said she was a huntress in training back at Signal . I swear we must have talked for hours today . I got a little bit of our first conversation on recording , so I ' ll embed it hereRecordingOk I just started it . Now who are you again ? I ' m Violet . From Vale , like you . Huntress in training , Signal Academy . Ran from Vale during the attack . PauseYou alright ? I get if you don ' t want to talk about it . Alright . I ' m good . Can we keep walking please ? I don ' t see any shelter , and we don ' t want to be out here when night falls . Good point . Long silenceSo . you ran from Vale too ? Yeah . You caught on to the attack too I take it ? Not really . I was just close to the walls when it happened . Getting out was easy enough , big holes ripped through the walls and all . RecordingI looked back just before the sun set today . You can ' t see Vale anymore . I guess it ' s for the best . Bad memories . Violet seems to think so too . I asked about family and she clammed up for an hour . I know how to take a hint . Food ' s gonna be a worse situation now , but I think 15 days can get us some time for Violet to hunt . I ' m no good at it . Hopefully she can help me learn .
