>> I've finished that sword you asked for.

[In a attachment beneath the message is a picture of a one handed viking sword. The blade is crafted from a strong, dark metal. There are ripples in the metal, creating paler tones in wavy lines against the dark of the metal. The metal has been folded and tempered and treated with great care, with runes engraved down the flat of the blade. One side is written in Atlantean. The other is written in Nordic runes. The runes read - "Through fire, we are made stronger". The handle of the blade has been wrapped in dark red leather, and the guard, albeit small, as well as the pommel, have been crafted from a pale golden metal. The guard has been decorated in intertwining and overlapping knotwork made from both the dark metal and the golden coloured metal. Raw emerald chips have been placed at the centre of each overlapping pattern. There are 7 small roughly cut emeralds in total on the guard.
The pommel has been left fairly simple with runes etched into the metal. One for Loki. One for Thor. And new ones to represent Dan and Brenna.]

>> The pictures don't really do it justice. I'm actually quite proud of this one. I hope you like it.

Do you want to help me shop for a dress to wear to the party? I can help you look for dresses too if you want. I used to shop with my mom

[Enjolras can be heard tinkering around with a piano at first, and then seeming to settle on a tune he begins to sing softly. It grows more deliberate as he continues and forgets himself in the moment, then cuts off. (This selection is all Dan's fault.) ]

[Text message to Bryn]

For what it's worth, I'm sorry...

[Text message to Bill]

You doing all right, mate? How are you holding up?

[Text message to Abra]

If you need any more donations, give us a shout. How are you doing?

[Text to Gen]

Thought I'd check up on you, see how you're doing.

I feel I should be doing this in person. But I remember how much you dislike tears, and I can't make them stop.

Would you allow me and my daughters to prepare Thor? Astrid and Brenna have done it before, and I have to more times than I want to count. I think it will allow Zu a more private setting to tell him goodbye.

Do you know a bad clown?

I know this is a bad time for you >
Sorry about

Hey. Could you give me some wards to protect against the evil through the door?

[Dan's voice is soft and monotone, like when he talks in his sleep. He's obviously outside, though. Birdsong can be heard, people talking and calling to each other, and a few cars can be heard in the background, although they're very faint]

This place is rotting from the inside out. Looks normal, looks nice, but it's just a shell, a false face, and it's built on death and lies. The core is wrong. All wrong.

( Bryn, your phone is ringing )

[His phone starts to broadcast on its own. Pacing can be heard. Then the sound of a lighter. He begins to recite a spell, his tones almost musical.]

"Ave ad Septentrionalis et Meridionalis in Oriente et Occidente. Et ignis et aquae, et aeris et terrae, per spiritum meum et vocavi te hic. Ego novi receperint magicae huius est punctus in domum suam quasi novi testimonii"

[There is a pause and silence for a moment.]

"His sacris verba adversus locum hunc et observarent aeque malum. B'hoah Shlomoh, kvosh et hahosheh"

[With that the recording ends. For those who speak Latin, what he said translates to, "Hail to the North, the South, the East and the West. With Fire, with water, with air, with earth, with spirit, I summon you here. I welcome the new magic of this place into my home as a new point of meeting." The second part is in 2 languages. The Latin part translates to, "With these sacred words, I ward this place against evil." and the last part I believe is in Hebrew? It translates to, "Through Solomon’s power, capture the darkness."]

[Hródolf is very excited! He is flicking between English and Norse]

NAN! NAN! I made you picsures for your birfday! [Come and see! Come and see! I have to show you!]

...can I have bekfas too?

Hi family,

I have invited a new arrival for dinner on Sunday. He seems nice. He's also very religious. The uncool kind of religion.

It would be wonderful if some of you would want to attend the dinner.

Kat

[This is new... Am I doing this correctly?]

(OoC: Dan is speaking Norse. Specifically, Brenna, Bryn and Astrid's dialect)
