So ready for the dreams to stop. Not just one, all of them mixed together. But even more, I'm ready for Lucifer to die! be put back where he belongs. Would be nice if that were right now this very second. But whenever it is, I'm ready. Then all this will stop. It has to.

Distractions. Coffee, staying up longer. Maybe go destroy things in a junkyard or demolish some run down place I'd take a hunt, but I'd rather keep to Lawrence for now and continue doing my part to help out when possible. Still much to do I could go for a drink or two now, though.


[Thorn Manor residents]
I got some extra coffee if some of you don't feel like sleeping. Though this may not be good in the long run. Going too long without rest can also be damaging, both mental and physical. If you do sleep.. just know this won't last. We will get through this like everything else that happens. The devil will fall and the turmoil will cease.

I had put protective wards, including a bauble wish, that prevents threats from entering this place, and from harm to come to any inside. But I hadn't thought of protections on attacks of a mental or psychological nature. Then again the success of that is questionable, it's Lucifer after all. I'm still pissed he managed to get his gifts into here But anything I can do to help any of you with anything, let me know and I'll do my best.

[Private to self]
So many dreams. I am the President, but stepped on, crushed, betrayed, eliminated any in my way to get there. Empire built on the blood of others, that.. that isn't what I want. Maybe once but not anymore. And other dreams where those who died back home want revenge, and even one dream where Christ himself is coming down to kill me. And still other dreams where I give in to my fate, that all this is pretense, an act, like the demon told me. But.. no. Only dreams. I could ask Ruby of this, she always had great advice for me when I spoke before. But she's not.. here, at present. I hope that gets fixed too. Soon as Lucifer bites it, probably. Which I will most surely throw party after it.

[OOC: Once again, forward tracked, this time at some point tomorrow morning, maybe ten?]

We both had a very hard time sleeping last night, apparently. Did you have nightmares as well? And I know this might sound very stupid, but...you're not planning on ending our relationship any time soon, are you? Because even though I get the feeling that last night was Lucifer playing mind games, it is a very real possibility. Everyone leaves me, it seems, in the end.

I would like to attempt to be at least a little more sociable with other people in this town. Does anyone have suggestions on things I could do, either with or without my girlfriend, to be more active in things here? I feel like an outsider half the time and I'm finding I really don't like that feeling. The few occasions where I have interacted with many of you have gone fairly decently. I suppose what I'm saying is I need to start making friends here, because what is the point of staying here and fighting if you don't have friends to celebrate with, or help you through the hard times?

That was a great Thanksgiving dinner at the Center. Can't remember last time I'd eaten so much. But it was good stuff. And the pies! Always love good pie. And it was nice to talk to people too. I'll be heading out to get a tree for my house soon, for the next holiday. Should be fun.

But one thing I still plan for is a vacation to Rome. I'd been to Chicago, it was familiar to me. And to London as well. But Rome.. always wanted to go back. Born there. And always found the history interesting. Haven't decided on the exact date for the trip yet. But when I do, I'd be willing to charter a flight there for anyone else that wanted to tag along to visit Rome too. Maybe next bauble wish will be for a teleport skill, then won't have to always use regular transport I still like the fast cars though Maybe it can be a group vacation or something.

I had quite an enjoyable time at the Thanksgiving dinner at the youth center. Thank you very much for organizing it, Elizabeth. For a first Thanksgiving it went rather well.

I thought I might bring up that the youth choir I am the director of will be having a holiday concert on the 20th of December, if any of you would like to attend. It will be at [address] at 7PM. It will be mostly Christmas songs, both old and new, and they're trying to talk me into letting one of the girls who writes her own music perform a song penned especially for the concert. I am inclined to let her. I hope to see many of you there.

[Edward]

I think, perhaps, it might be time to have a talk. Nothing bad, I promise. I just realized today how thankful I am for you and I feel it is time you know about my entire past in case those who want to harm us try to use it against you. I know the types of relationships Lucifer talked about include ours, and I just want to make sure we can weather anything thrown at us.

*Endeavour*

Be careful? I slipped a vial of pepper spray into your bag as a precaution, you may blame the bounty hunter within for that one.

Yes Lucifer is getting to me, he wants everyone miserable and especially people like us if I'm seeing this right. Its just going to make me fight even harder for what we have, after all your this little geek's best friend :)

At the medical center but should be heading to the manor around 9 allowing for the usual.

Does anyone know who to ask about making an identity here for work? Without the usual "plot to take over the world this week" to stop like back home I've become a bit bored.

That had to have been the most interesting Bonfire Night I have ever attended, and it was certainly one of the best. Thank you for putting it on, Vex. It was nice to have a bit of home here. And I apologize if I was boring anyone with recollections of the experience during the war and the 1950s and 1960s. It was not my intent.

[Edward]

I'm glad you've accompanied me to some of the events we have attended. You seem to have been having fun, and surprisingly I have too. However, I would like to do something that is just the two of us. Perhaps we could go get dinner and watch a movie?

Also, I got a job. I'm the new choir director for the city's youth choir. This should be...interesting, as I have not had a position such as this before. So I will not be at the manor as much as I have been. I do not want you to worry.

[Damien]

Is the offer of the use of a car still available? I have recently gotten a job and need to have reliable transportation. I would appreciate it very much.

My place is mostly all decked out in some Halloween decorations, looks nice. Also got all stocked up on food and snacks. Now all that's left is to go find myself a costume for the upcoming party. Need to pick something soon, something good Definitely looking forward to it.

[Filtered; Thorn Manor residents]
Those of you going to the party at the Center during the event, do you have transportation or a friend picking you up? If not.. I could drive us there in one of my cars if needed. Could go in a limo if you'd want to try it, but I think a car might suit the purpose of driving to the party just as well. Could even loan one out too.

Also. If any more unwanted "gifts" arrive. If it's something tangible, feel free to just toss it in the fireplace. Well.. if flammable, anyway. If it's plastic or metal, best to toss it in the trash instead. And if there's anything that you may need while staying here, please let me know and I'll get to it immediately.

[ooc: filter includes any current residents, like Parker, Edward, Endeavor, Sidney Prescott, etc.]

I know we've got people hooking each other up with food and board, but what about all that other stuff that people need? Clothes? Phones? Replacements for some of the essentials that got blasted to bits when everything went all explodey?

If you're like me, you're not made out of money, so getting all that stuff back is likely to be tough going. Fortunately for you, if there's anyone who knows how to survive without a wad of green in their pocket, it's me. I've got a certain knack for picking up items on the DL and I can do it for you guys if you tell me exactly what it is you need.

So? Any takers? Bueller?

If anyone requires an anti-possession tattoo, but are for whatever reason wary of the pain associated with the process, I have an alternative. It can be applied via magic, placing the mark in the skin without causing damage.

This makes it ideal for children, or those whose bodies would reject the addition otherwise. Regretably, this does not seem to include those of a Kryptpnian nature, given your disadvantage to magic; I do not know what would happen if attempted, but it does not seem wise to find out.

Please let me know if you would like one, either as a first out add a hidden secondary one to keep added precaution. It takes only a few moments.


If there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to ask.

I hope its ok but I'm already doing the legwork on getting us out of the hotel. With your arm and my ankle I'm thinking the sooner we're into something more stable the better off we'll be. But I do have a few hundred saved up from tech work if we need cash in the meantime.

But what is helping is being together, you get me after all :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

And have a cute pic from our trip to the opera for a smile.

What's the medical verdict? Because our next problem is short term housing (and to be honest I think we're better off sticking together being fish out of time and all). But I've got the two main computers for now and all the needed programs are on Tomato.

I'm not upping and running.

Trapped on the rooftop....

If you're trapped in the Complex, yell or make as much noise as you can so we know where you are.

[IrinaMom]

Where are you? Are you safe?

someone please i cant get outt sometihng s blokcng the door frm outside room 502

Check in? By the looks of things the seal decided to be mean and send people back and well I'm just a bit worried (and still wrecked from that box but I'm past it and can see what it is, the devil using my past and old fear against me).

One Peter Vincent came to me with a pretty brilliant idea, guys. Why don't we try getting a loop of the exorcism playing on the radio? Maybe cut into tv programming here and there. Subliminal commercials or something, maybe.

(ETA) [Musicians & otherwise musically inclined folks]
Who wants to make the exorcism into a song and make the next viral youtube video?

I am not sure how to help Edward. I am not good at doing that with anyone, let alone someone I care about. Any advice would be helpful.

[Lucifer]

Leave her alone. She doesn't deserve this torment.

He can't be dead....

The jacket is covered in blood and beyond wrecked....

The Red Dragons went down in flames....

But those mushrooms.... I was only 12 and a kid.....

*Endeavour*

Come over as soon as possible? I know I told you about my time on the Bebop and that jacket is a sign Spike really is dead. All I had was rumors for years and its like a part of the past is gone.

(ooc: be kind, Ed's having a massive meltdown thanks to Spike's jacket. Anyone on or near her apartment would have heard the scream or smelled the mushrooms.)
