So you gonna be more careful?

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?

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 know she's currently under lockdown, but can we borrow Claire? We could use her help at the hospital.

( Announcement to all transplants. )

I remember seeing the name 'Don' mentioned here a while back and I don't know how much luck those searching for her have had, but I came across a few clues that might help. That is, I think I found the rest of her family. Nanette Don is an exiled necromancer and while that might be common knowledge, her location isn't outside of her being banished to the south. Her family seems to still be in contact with her though, so there might be a way to track her down through them.

Everyone who plans on wandering outside of the city, I wouldn't go off the roads - the number of daedra patrols on both sides have risen dramatically. I think that portal's strength is influencing the native wildlife or something, because I'm seeing the daedra fighting them more often and people are starting to get scared.

Watch yourselves out there and don't travel alone. Even those of us who have solid means of protecting ourselves shouldn't take that risk right now - at least that's the feeling I'm getting out here.

Might wanna be careful around Spider-Man, Pete. The last thing I wanna do is wake up stuck in a web. Again.
