So, you two up for hunting some Hindu demons? Rakshasa. We've got one. If we want it. They're ridiculously strong (as I'm sure you remember from your lessons, who's studied? Okay, Rose, out of teacher mode) but I think the three of us can manage.

They feed on human flesh and I'm pretty sure Kansas City, MO is kinda tired of him (her? how do you even tell??) being around so the sooner the better. Think you guys can be ready by tomorrow morning? May take a bit to figure out who it is. ...did I mention shapeshifter?

Got a hunt to do, shouldn't be more than the weekend, Tuesday at the latest. I'd think. There's lasagna in the freezer if you want it and you should have plenty of jam. Take care of yourself and my little boy, would you?

So, next week, not really a big deal but kind of a big deal and
I was wondering if maybe you wanted to
There's something I kinda want to tell you, do you think we could

I'm going out of town for the weekend on a hunt with Dick and Lois. Should be back by Monday, Tuesday at the latest. Standard stuff. Just so you don't worry and all. I'll have my phone, I'll call you when we get there. Lo

Audrey? Is this a Troubled thing? If so, could you maybe come get me from...hang on. [Address] Because I'm sure this is a lovely city with wonderful people but I'm kind of not feeling it. Not to mention we have more than enough to be getting on with, don't you think?

If Audrey isn't reading this...anyone know an Audrey Parker? Unless I got sent here by...um. Things. And reasons. Yeah.

And I'm not dead and isn't that basically the important thing here? Yes, I think so, too.

[OOC: pretend this is posted at like 7 tonight okay!]


today, mom and graham had date night so aislinn and i are with aunt lois and mr clark--DO I GET TO CALL HIM UNCLE CLARK?--and we went to the pool and swam some and then we went to this fun restaurant and it had a ball pit, uncle dick. and we played in the ball pit and you were right! he did love it! i guess you never get too old for ball pits because he's like older and still likes them, right?

but now mom and graham you can’t come home for like 2 more hours because aunt lois got aislinn to sleep in the playpen and we’re gonna watch wreck it ralph so keep having fun!

and here are some pictures so far from florida!

( Cut )

Okay, so we haven't ACTUALLY been to the beach yet. But a few hours in and we're already warm and toasty. Currently laughing at the natives running around bundled up for their 'cold front'. But while I'm sitting outside by the pool in a t-shirt and shorts and flip-flops, I kinda wonder why I ever left Florida.

I'm fucking done. She's played with the wrong people for the last time.

Every magic do-er we still have with power, get on it. Every weapon you can find, every sword, every bullet, every arrow. And then we're going in.

Jacen I hate you so much right now but, whatever you've been doing....amp it up. And to anyone it affects, I'm so sorry, but the sooner we do it, the sooner we're all free from this bull. Get her in the open, piss her off to the point where she either transforms or withers.

Those of you who wanted to slay her who still physically can, you're in. Grab whatever weapons you're comfortable using and let's do this. Because I'm done with her little games. If she wants us all to turn to ash, we're not going down without fighting.

mom got hit with a green mist and thinks jelena and i are dead and that the rat king is here, jelena is saying its because of a curse and that we need true loves kiss, grace is missing and i really want to kick something.

Can't be too careful right now. The filter is there for a reason.

Anyway, Hate me all you like but listen to me now because in this instance I do know what I'm talking about. She had her spy. She knows what you were all planning so lets shift the balance a little.

I need to know who is still willing to fight her. I need to know that when I finally make her snap. And that's not arrogance, I will, I need to know you'll be ready.

Keep enchanting the weapons. She laughed it off but all evidance points to it working. Just because she says its untrue doesn't mean it is.  The one with the fire, can you deflect her flames long enough for someone to get to her heart. I'll be there and being showey with the Force because well, she really doesn't like what I'm making her see.

When this is done you can go back to the regularly scheduled thinking I'm heartless.

I'm spiriting Ruby away for a bit. Let me know if you guys need us, but I think she could use a break from Kansas. Frankly I can't remember the last one I've had either. We'll be back before the 16th.

Want to get the hell out of here?

I'd like to whisk Ruby away on a small vacation in a suave fashion to get her away from all this, but is there anyone to cover me at the center if I do take her out of the city a bit?

Nearly 11 years ago, someone incredibly special came into the world.

Now to figure out how to celebrate that. Do I go surprise party? Let him plan it? Do I do a combined party with his friends from here and his school friends? Two separate ones?

...and will Clark be way too offended if he gets the Superman party of his dreams? Just saying, Clark. You know him.

Any and all suggestions are completely welcomed. I've never done this sort of thing

[Regina]

How did you always
What did you do for his
Are you

ETA: [Henry]

What do you think you, Grace, and your friends from school would like to do for your birthday?

Dark is gone. Sorry I couldn't do it sooner and now I'm going to go have Stoli and This time for good. That's a new one on me and I don't get to say that one very often.

Everyone holding up okay?

My circus is still
I couldn't

i'm sorry

[Forward dated to like, 6am Lawrence time since I plan to be snoozing at that time.]

Not sure if I know all of you, but I'm Dick Grayson and offering to help. I've got monitors set up around the city via the Bat-cave Bruce left behind.and anywhere else I've been but that's I'm willing to sync up with you guys if you are with me. I'v got some cameras set up in his old location when the circus came into Kansas, but I don't know how much those will help. I doubt he'll go into the same spot twice. I've also made some notes about the layout when I was in there ast that could help with team retrieval should anyone get trapped inside but none of it is a guarantee that it's all the same. The cave has been synced with Watch Tower already, but not with the complex or anyone else as of yet.

[Ruby]
You okay?

[Lois]
I stand by what I said at her. She doesn't deserve them.

[Peter, Lois, Dick, and House (wtf??)]

Stop. It isn't worth it. I appreciate what you're all doing, believe me. I just... Leave it alone.

[Henry]

How would you feel about skipping school tomorrow?

[Regina]

Are you happy now? Even here you continue to screw up my family. We were doing just fine until you came along.

Enough.

I am glad everyone loves and wishes to protect Emma and Ruby from the truly loathsome person I apparently am, but I do not need to hear it from every person here in Lawrence. I am sorry you all feel personally wronged by things I never even did, but there are far worse things happening right now than this.

But since you all feel the need to speak your minds about this, I ask you let me have a turn.

- I have not willfully sought out Regina once since I made that promise to Emma, with the exception of the other night.
- The two times I have run into her, I did not turn around and flee like a little girl because I am an adult who can make her own decisions and have some concept of how to be polite.
- As if it's any of your business, but I have been hurting for weeks now and none of you truly stopped to even ask why or care.
- If anyone has a problem with me, I can leave. I'd rather not, but I can and I will to make things easier for everyone.
