Musings

[During memories.]

[After Erin's memory, he spent a good half hour pulling splinters from his palms, and then he called the moving company, sending them over to Bathos, and whatever the hell she had in that place that kept her healthy could just come right along with her, as far as he was concerned.]

You home, woman?

[Delivered to E Gracewater, the morning of the Masquerade, by a smallish old woman. She arrives with two assistants and three racks of Masquerade costumes.]

( This is becoming a habit. )

[Text to E Gracewater after this.]

Your crazy boy is sleeping at The Academy tonight.

[After this.]

( Left on Erin's desk at the Academy. )

Mary, Mary, quite contrary. How does your garden grow? With pretty MARIGOLDS all in a row. Wolf, your noise to INTOLERABLE. Stop the incessant HOWLING. It is worse than The Howling 3, even with Christopher Lee.

And someone who was dead is not? This will not do. Follow the rules, people.

you've created a school. a haven, so you say.

[Text sent while Erin is walking through the final inspection of the Academy, five minutes after leaving Colt's office with said inspector.]

What's taking so damn long?

Can I buy you a coffee or tea? There's this amazing tea shop... if you like tea.

I want to offer you a job. I promise I'll be nicer about it than Byron.

I'm sorry to tell you all, those that care. I know there are many of you.

Corbinian is dead.

The decision made at the meeting he assembled stands. Look forward to more on the topic.

Help: Anybody with the name of a good locksmith, or someone who’s just handier than I am. I’d do the job myself but I’m awful with that sort of thing- far from my forte.

Payment in your choice of cash or other hard things. Prime stock, if you’re wondering.

Inquiries to be made in person, Hamartia 405.

Discretion and expedience required.

[Delivered to E Gracewater during the ball, after she is no longer at home. The embossed white card is just signed: Colt]

( In a white box with twine and tissue paper )

Sent at: 22:45 Message content: energy okay? figure you at the ball. dont run too low.

[Not very long at all after this. Late in the evening of the ball, at about 7:15.

Ring.

It goes to voicemail.

It's short.]

Hello--oh, I'm sorry. [She's upset... about something. It's obvious.]

Of course you're there. Another time.

[She hangs up.]

[backdated to last week]


[Ring!]

A note: This is a re-post.

I am still looking for those interested in Creation education to participate in an initial planning board. There is now a second type of position available, a part-time head of household for a service-oriented individual with a great deal of patience.

Please comment for an introductory interview with your experience, and/or send your resume to "gracewater.e@theacademy.edu".

If you have sent me messages in the last five days, I'm sorry, I've been ill and I've a bit of a backlog, but you should get a response in the next twenty-four hours.

[Locked to T. Randall & C. Byron]

I feel better.

[Publicly.]

Why do we feel the need to be responsible for everyone's well being all at once? We have vigilantes killing people for what they think is the common good, and we have people opening Academies for the training of Creations youth, and we have people trying to be heroes and de facto kings. What is the point? What do they want to achieve, in fighting tirelessly to save a world that does not care to be saved?

Philosophical questions out of the way, since the internet can't seem to help me and no one else I've asked has been qualified to do much more than operate simple machinery and be paid minimum wage for the rest of their lives, can anyone tell me where I can find a decent rare book store in the area?
