BELORE NETWORK

I’m not sure whether to be relieved or not about the summer being over. I kind of miss Bella coming to visit and hang out at the stables with me during the day. And I know my horses miss her. But at the same time I’m glad she’s in school.

[Rabastan and Alecto]

We should probably figure out some sort of schedule for Bella’s magic lessons soon.

[Regulus^canon]

What are you doing tomorrow afternoon baby?

...It feels so strange that it's going to be the first of September Thursday, and I don't have a train to school to catch. Does that feeling ever go away, or does it continue being weird every year? Not... that I would know back home.



Am, are you going to be at the stables tomorrow?

I just had the most interesting conversation.
Seems Bella has a daughter who, well, to be frank, is an idiot. Also, she doesn't give a shite about Bella or you guys.
Figured you should know.
Oh, her name is Nyx Black and she is an idiot.

I love when things get interesting.

I'm not use to a place with so many muggles walking around. It is interesting to see them interact with one another.

I found an interesting surprise at the stables when I went to work today - some new horses seem to have arrived overnight. I was happy to spend the majority of my day getting them settled into their new home between my other jobs.

[Private to Alecto]

You should come down and see them, tell me I'm not just imagining that they're from our stables.

[Private to Regulus]

If you want to come visit the stables and would prefer not to see me - I can tell you what my schedule is. Or if you do want to come visit and see me that would be even better How are you settling in with Arthur?

[Private to Bellatrix]

What would you say Poppet to going horseback riding with me tomorrow?

[Private to Kris]

Four of the horses that arrived - are mine. The black and gold ones - I don't want anyone else riding them. In fact I'd be more comfortable taking sole responsibility for their care. I'll do it after taking care of my other duties of course. The other two - if people want to ride the red they can, he's well trained but I'm sure you saw that already. The gray - isn't really mine to say anymore.

We should have a dinner party.

Invite those we know here.


Yes?

Is this weather even necessary? I'm starting to feel a bit like a steamed crab. Is all of America like this in the summer?

Well it seems that the weather isn't the only thing intending to give us surprises right now.

[Private to Rabastan, Alecto, and Bella]

I'm sure you've all seen by now but Regulus is back. Our version of him at any rate. He won't be staying with us because there just simply isn't room but he does have a key to the house from when he lived here before. I told him to keep it

[Rabastan]

Any chance I could convince you to join me for a drink tonight? I feel the need to get roaring drunk and know I make bloody stupid decisions when entering that state alone.

[Message to Alecto, backdated to right after Bella arrived]

We probably should have talked to you about this before we made the offer sister but, Rabastan and I offered to allow Bella to stay with us. She's only 10 and well...guardians she'd likely get on well with are probably limited to our house.

So.. somehow in the course of a day, several months passed. Well, I'm sure it wasn't a day for anyone but me, because that's just not how things works. Honestly, it shouldn't work that way even for me but considering it was 1979 for me when I first came here, I should be used to this weirdness.

In my absence, the room I was staying in now belongs to someone else. Would anybody have the room for me to stay and wait this out?

The storm.

I AM NOT AFRAID! I am Bella the Great!

The darkness. The darkness is going to get me. Make it stop.

Interesting. All this caution thrown to the wind reminds me of good times.

Anyone know where I can get a good pack of cigarettes? Running low doesn't make me a happy wolf.

I find this place to be more pleasant now! Rab showed me how to use this muggle thing and now I can look at all the horror stories I want!

Amy, you need to check under my bed for slithering monsters that will slurp out my brain.

OH! I have new clothes and they aren't dresses and that is amazing.

Does anyone want to play? I want to build a castle. With a dragon. And a sea monster in the moat.

I have misplaced my Mothball dog. Rab, Amy? Have you seen it? It is black, fuzzy, and dog shaped.

We have an issue.

What is this mundane nonsense?

Jace? Izzy? Not sure why I am asking if you are okay, but- Clary?

Magnus, is this your doing?

There's something calming about the stables and working with the horses. I don't want to leave there some days.

[Private to Alecto and Rabastan]

So it occurred to me that I'm living in this house that is far too large for me alone and the two of you are living in the apartments. Any chance I could convince one or both of you to save me from this lonely existence and move into the house?

Well isn't this an interesting turn of events. I wonder what brought me to this strange...place? No, time.

Its time to stop working so much and explore this place. Where to start,I have no idea..

Oh what the fuck now?

I couldn't have been that high.
