ic notes and random gab

Looks like the storm's blown over, as far as I can tell the devil's left town, though there's still traces of the pain he left behind. I'm holding a memorial service in Ravenmoore Square this Sunday the 24th in the evening, we can light candles for those that he took from us.

I need your advice about something. Michael Langdon, our resident Antichrist. There's another archangel here, his name is Michael as well. He is a police officer and he has stated that he wants to kill Michael Langdon as he's worried about the possibility of him hurting anyone here. Since Michael unleashed the blood rain (which I subsequently stopped) I managed to talk Michael down from going after Langdon, and I talked to Langdon and managed to talk him down a little bit as well. I don't want to kill him if I can help it, but clearly that Michael guy's got no qualms about killing.

But at the same time I'm concerned about having an Antichrist running around unchecked, given how volatile the magic is. Think about how bad things could have been if Michael Langdon had been running around with his kinda-dad, the bloodshed in Preya would have been increased tenfold if not more.

Please let me know. My strength's well and truly back now, and with that has come clarity but at the same time I'm at a loss of what to do. And I know that Michael won't wait forever for an answer. And yes, I understand how very confusing it is that they have the same name. Confusing and ironic.

Just like to confirm that I'm definitely feeling the absence of Lucifer and all subsequent impending doom?

Hey, to the guy who just stole two books from my library? Did you think I wouldn't notice? I'm an archangel, come on. The library is infused with my Grace and my magic, I knew the second they left without authorisation.

Don't worry, I'm not going to smite you. For two books, at least.

But those books? They're going to start spontaneously combusting into ash about... now.

Don't do it again.

[Private to Remus take two XD]

I was wondering if you had plans for dinner on the evening of the 14th. And if not, then I would be most pleased if you could join me for dinner if it's to your liking.

There now that that's over with

I'm going to be heading to Ravenmoore tonight to continue to research the conundrum of the Wolfsbane potion and its side effects on you. I'll figure it out even if it takes me all night. We haven't got much time left.

[Private to the Owner of the Ravenmoore Athenaeum (Yves)]

Good evening.

I am currently on my way to the library as we speak, and I was wondering if I could ask for your assistance on a matter. I have been researching a potion called Wolfsbane. In the time where I come from, Wolfsbane has not been invented yet. However, as I understand it, it is eventually discovered and even taught how to brew in potions class. I attempted to brew a Wolfsbane potion I discovered in a book, but the side effects were terrible and thus unsuitable to be administered once again. I was wondering if you could assist me in finding more information about this potion, perhaps under another name and if you could guide me as to how your cataloging system works.

I would most appreciate it.

R.A.B.

It feels so good to have nice wings again! I can't tell you the last time my wings were perfect. Honestly I don't know if that's something I should be concerned about... But hey! I feel great and look great!

On a different note. What the heck is up with this upcoming holiday? I've seen so many ads around Ravenmoore. A holiday dedicated to love? Why not just show your love everyday? Or at least as often as you can...

For the last few days I have been feeling a terrifying sense of dread creeping over me. It wasn't until today that it seemed to escalate into a revelation.

There is a dark presence here. They have not been here long, but long enough to disturb the peaceful tranquility of this place. Every time I try and focus on the energy to try and find out more information on who it is, I recoil.

I'm warding this to all the angels that are here. I sensed this dark presence and I can still feel it now, if it weren't for my dreamcatcher I would probably be feeling it more strongly, but the calming presence is satisfying.

I know not all of you are from the same place as me and my brothers, but the presence is keeping me on edge, my wings have been out since I became aware of its presence, and I'm unable to completely relax.

Let me know your thoughts and please let me know if anyone else sensed this disturbance, or if anyone might know who or what the cause of it is.

I want to thank everyone for their help with the Christmas festivities at the Athenaeum, it went off wonderfully and all the kids enjoyed every moment of it. I might have depleted a bit of my funds in the process of getting the gifts, but I'm a giver, I can't help it. It was amazing and wonderful seeing everyone come together like that.

I got my gift from the ruler, my dreamcatcher. It's obviously a replica of it, as I keep one in Heaven for my brothers and servitors, but it's good knowing it's here, hopefully it's a sign that this year will be prosperous and calming and that things will move in the right direction from hereon out.

Would have liked to have had my flock of white ravens, but beggars can't be choosers, I guess.

Anyone got plans for the new year? What are all your resolutions? Though I guess they're like birthday wishes, if you tell people they won't come true.

Does it work like that? I've been on Earth for hundreds of years but some of the customs still confuse me a little.

Anyone else looking forward to Christmas?

[Public to everyone old enough to know Santa exists]

So seeing as Christmas is just around the corner, I've organised a little something at my library for the kids. The library is already getting a bit of a makeover, with trees being put up and decorations and all that, I've got the Christmas stories more prominently displayed, and as Christmas gets closer I'm going to be dressing up as Santa and reading to the kids, because there are some kids here that don't have their parents which is pretty bad. And there are also kids here that do have their families here but I just thought it'd be nicer for them.

So Santa will be coming to the library to read to the kids and hand out gifts. I'm going to be randomly choosing children's books that they miss from home, nothing bigger than that. I know words, I know books, so it shouldn't be hard.

I just thought it'd be a nice thing to do for kids who are missing their families and something for kids in general to have to celebrate Christmas a bit better. I used to do this sort of thing at hospitals, but since we don't really have that kind of thing here (which I'm glad about don't get me wrong) I just want to make sure that they know Santa can come to Preya, too.

Let me know if anyone wants to collaborate with me on this, I'd really love to make this as magical as possible. Pun slightly intended.

Ooooo! I didn’t get to spend much time on a phone before… It’s so so nice to feel life again. And the winds are amazing! Heh, this form of communication strange. Name’s Necrosis, the Necromancer… Uh the fourth angel of destruction, not that it matters that much anymore. Yo is there any angels around here? I certainly see a whole lotta magic around.

There are two types of tired - one where you require sleep, the other when you require peace.

I hope you all feel refreshed and awaken soon.

Destiny is a funny thing, isn't it? You never really know what it is, you just get little hints along the way telling you which path to take. It can change, but most of the time it is fluid, like a running stream, though inevitably you end up at the same destination.

My destination has led me here. This place is quite lovely, though it comes at a cost and I can understand why I can sense the air of unrest here as well.

That doesn't really matter to me. I chose to come here and I've brought my library with me.

My name is Yves, and I am the Archangel of Destiny. I understand why that might alarm some of you, but then again perhaps it doesn't as I can feel the presence of several of my siblings here.

I've been walking the Earth for a long, long time, helping people find their destinies. I've seen a great many things. So I'm well equipped with Earthly customs, and people have said that I don't speak or look like I'm an archangel older than all of creation which I guess I'll take as a compliment.

That being said, my Library is Ravenmoore Athenaeum. In there if you look hard enough you can find any book you desire, and if you request, I can help you find a book, journal or something similar that is personal to you that you may have left behind.

We also have free Wi-Fi, so feel free to take advantage of that.

Now that that's sorted, I'm going to hit the gym.
