ic notes and random gab

Never thought I'd be glad to be back. Vacation was nice and all, but what the fuck was up with the phones and all?

Elliot! I got you a shirt! I know you'd never wear a sweatshirt so you can wear the shirt instead.

Was it usually this cold though? What the fuck? I get that it's winter and all but it's still way too fucking cold.

[Filtered to those who attended Lucius's meeting]

Darlene... My sister. She's missing. I think we might have a mole.

Someone has to have told the Ruler or someone working under them. How many other people have gone missing all at once? Something's going on... And we need to find out what.

I am looking for residence in Everdale. For those who reside there already, how do you like living there?

There is a property for sale not far from the Enchanted Gardens. Arcturus, would you like to accompany me in taking a tour of it?

[Scorpius]
What does your schedule look like tomorrow, Scorpius? Care to meet me for tea?

[Cassi]
I am sorry I have been quiet these last several days. After my meeting at Blackwood Manor, I noticed a heavier presence of security in my neighborhood. Perhaps it is coincidental but I did not want to reach out until I felt it was safe. I hope you are well.

[Castiel]
As I walked along the shore today, I saw a hermit crab eating a coconut. I imagine, in addition to the carnivorous terrors you mentioned before, there are also peaceful vegetarians. Thought it would interest you.

[Elliot & Harry Lockhart]
This is a protected line for our conversation. I would like to speak more on acquiring information from Centurion Square. You both seem to have the greatest knowledge on how to break in. Before I call another general meeting, where I wish to recruit only the serious activists in our mission, I hoped to speak with you both about our plans of action. What would be the best way to acquire private information from the officials in the square?

[Other interested protesters/spectators]
I regret to say that the authorities have been keeping an eye on me, which explains my sudden silence. However, concerns are still present over the situation of disappearances. Another meeting will be announced soon. Keep your eyes peeled.

How can people bask in the red and pink polluting the streets when all of our loved ones go missing? With no explanation.

My wife is gone and no explanation whatsoever was given. An offering of holiday cheer to blind us from the mysterious departures that occur on a regular basis... The holiday season is long gone and I wonder what other glimmering gift they will hope to use as a distraction?

I am done being cordial. Something must be done.

Anyone in agreement is encouraged to meet me at Blackwood Manor tonight at 10 o'clock.

Well, I suppose now is as good of a time as any to announce my new job.

I'll be working at the Centurion Square, I believe doing the same work. I don't know why things had changed, but perhaps it's for the best.

Either that or someone is taking the piss.

Hopefully the commute won't be long. I'd hate to move.

[Private to Eggsy]

...You haven't created an elaborate hoax just because of what I did to your phone, did you? I mean, I'm sure it still rings 'leedle leedle lee' but it's a lovely ringtone. At least it doesn't do it for Harry's face.

I haven't seen snow like this before... It's nice.

I'm actually in a good mood.I'm getting used to this network thing and I want to make more of an effort to know people, as strange as that sounds.

I'm also wondering if anyone here is a qualified therapist?

[Private to Darlene]

We should watch a movie together soon.

Hiring

Looking to put some staff on at the manor. Especially could use someone experienced with horses and other creatures. Part of the compensation could include a two-bedroom apartment if desired. Also could use at least one and possibly more groundskeepers for what is, admittedly, a rather large estate. Living accommodations are also available for those positions. And I seem to have been dabbling in a bit of real estate and could use someone for the associated office work. Some computer experience would be helpful, but I can train the right person. A magical background is not required for any of these positions, but any applicants should be open-minded.

Haven't received any complaints, so I assume your motorcycle isn't giving you any problems. Still, it wouldn't hurt anything for you to come by every now and then so I can give it a routine going over.

There was a nice lass I talked to - I think she's a baker - that mentioned time magic and... she's right. I've been doing some research and it's really astonishing what's been going on. I don't know why it didn't hit everyone or why the ages are so random, but it explains a lot.

Knowing what my future is is quite a shock. Mostly because of my hair.

[Private to Harry Hart]

Harry, where the bloody hell are you? I know you're here. The only reason you'd stay quiet is because you're with someone so... what's his name?

[Private to Elliot]

You knew me when I was older, didn't you? You don't have to answer, I already know you do. I read our messages and all.

So... I might have done a reverse hack, found where you live, broke in, and took your dog. It was supposed to kinda be funny and a prank but uh... surprise?

She's okay! She actually needed a bit of house training, so I've been working with her. When are you around so I can give her back?

( Here's a picture of her for proof. )

This is a surprise.

Where am I? What's going on?

If this is a test, it's certainly a strange one.

How the fuck is it 2018? What the hell did I get myself into?

[Private to Elliot]

Hey, fuckface, you got yourself a roommate. You need better locks and you really need to take that dog of yours out more. She took a shit on your bed again.

So, what the fuck are you doing here?

What's everyone doing for new year? Usually I don't make a big deal about it. I think I want to do something this year.

[Private to Merlin]

For someone with your skill, you're pretty easy to hack.

A doctor I used to see told me that I would make more friends if I tried to talk to people. I don't know if I believe him but I guess you have to talk or no one will listen. So I'll try. Hello, my name is Will Byers. And I need help finding an art supply store somewhere in Ravenmoore. Can anyone tell me where one is?

All right, what is there to do in Ravenmoore?

My job has a conference next week in Ravenmoore and all participating will be held up in a hotel. I'll have some free time during the conferences and seminars so I should do some exploring.

...Just not sure where is all. So, suggestions?

Hopefully it's not a workshop. Those things tend to be extremely boring.

Well, well, well, what do we have here? How have I gone so long missing this little goldmine of holiday cheer?

How's everyone doing? My name's Logan and I own Brightford's very own Surf's Up. If you're looking to get your feet wet and learning to surf, just hit me up. Sometimes I even give discounts to people I like.

Introductions.

I don't usually do these sorts of things. It's like social media. It's never been a part of my life that I've ever wanted to interact with. But then again, I usually keep to myself.

Guess I should tell you something about myself. I'm a Cyber Security Engineer. My name is Elliot and I'm new here. I haven't even started my first day of work yet. So far I've just been sorting everything, moving in to my new place. I figured, new start, maybe try something new. So here I am. Speaking to you, wondering where we go from here.
