I tried Occlumency. I [...] have a talent for it, but the similarities to [...] well, my other powers are a little unnerving. It doesn't require any [...] but I'm still not sure it's worth the risk.

My instinct is to say no, but anything else I do to try to reinforce the wall or protect myself from what's behind it is probably going to involve something similar. Anything involving using my mind to fight it, I mean. I can talk to Anna or Peter about it to be sure, but [...]

I don't know. This is the point where I was hoping you'd tell me what you think.

I know we haven't spoken much, but Cas told me you might be able to help me with something. Whenever you have a moment, I'd like to talk to you about it.

[Private to Dean]

If you're not currently hiding from a monster or about to be eaten by one, can you PLEASE come and get me?

Well, after a very exciting couple of journeys to both the extreme southern and northern parts of this country, I've had quite enough of travelling. Travelling and insane gods and insane amounts of magic that make me feel ill. That said, I have some information that may be of importance or use to everyone.

Going south to the portal, I attempted to study the magic powering it and figure out whether there was a counter. It took a bit of trial and error, but Life is the trick. Life vs. Death, Creation vs. Destruction. Where there was a pile of bones all bound together (wonderful imagery by the way, it will be haunting my dreams and I wouldn't suggest anyone else see it unless they have to), I placed some seeds nearby and encouraged them to grow; their presence seemed to make the portal's magic recoil. I don't know what amount it would take to properly disrupt the entire gate... but it's something. It's a definite potential, at least.

Then came the next journey, northward. I wanted to speak with this 'madgod' Glorificus myself. It was an enlightening experience and afterwards I truly realised how little taste Sirius Black has in women. Beyond that, she is capable of making a portal and getting us out of here. From the sounds of her tone, in-between the ramblings of course, she would be happy to be rid of us and relocate us elsewhere. I tried to ask her about why it was easy to send all of us through a portal and not herself, but all I got out of her was something along the lines of how I have a small brain and other insults directed towards my lycanthropy. Which she could sense. Which was another brilliant experience.

I hope this is useful. Right now my greatest desire is to leave this place before all hell breaks loose, even though I know that means potentially abandoning the locals to a very unhappy fate. But if it's what the daedra and the others want, is it really our place to say otherwise?

This has been a long time coming and for those of you who haven't heard yet already, I spoke with Carter a few weeks ago. As it turns out, he has a pretty good idea for why we're all here. I'm gonna try and break it all down into something easily understood. I'm pretty much just hoping none of this is too unclear:

You remember the books Chuck wrote about us? There's a tv show, too, and I have the DVDs. They have information about our future and what happens to me after the wall comes down, so I think I'm going to watch it and see what we'll be up against. I'll tell you about it when I'm done, assuming it doesn't break the rest of my mind or you could watch it yourself. Up to you.

Even just from reading the summaries, it looks like I make it through somehow. So that's the good news.

( Private to Dean )

So, Cas and I are figuring it's safe now to mention this, since it's been three months.

But just so everyone knows, I am. . .currently, about three months pregnant.

:)

So, that's why I'm not drinking. And not on patrols. And maybe now Izzie and Nathan will stop giving me suspicious looks every time they see me.

. . .As you were. :P

I've comprised a list of patrol teams for the time being, - I expect each of you to put aside any potential differences and do what is necessary to defend this city during times of escalated activity regarding the supernatural beings. These are of course, subject to change but I encourage you to think of the mission at hand. As for further volunteers, I will always accept them.

( The list is as follows )

Okay, so. . .just a friendly heads-up. If you happen upon a little Japanese girl. Stay away from her. She's not as cute and innocent as she looks and she has NASTY fangs and claws. Last I saw her she was about two blocks from the hospital in the Little Tiger Foodmart. I'm not sure where she went after that. I just know she didn't respond well to fire and mace.

If someone could come GET ME OUT of the walk-in freezer in said food mart, that would be GREAT. I thought I was being really clever when I ran in here because she didn't seem to want to follow me.

Then she slammed the door and now I'm thinking she's just keeping me fresh.

Help?

Given that there are now a substantial number of us, I would like to ask for the names of those who wish to patrol the city. You may of course patrol at your own convenience, but if it is all the same, I feel it would be best we assign certain areas to certain individuals and will issue the best times to handle it. Also I am willing to answer any questions you may have pertaining to this task.
