Emma and I managed to get in a few days of quality time. I was a little tight-lipped with her about my recent trip. Told her I was still processing things. Also told her I was working on some protective wards around the cabin. Nothing lethal, and nothing she needed to worry about. Mostly just an early warning system of sorts.
I finally finished the realm-side warding on October 5th (Sunday). Everything is up and running nicely. I took a day to rest and recuperate, then crossed over to the umbra and began work on a smaller and more vulgar ward--and will give an intruder a nasty psychic blow to the noggin if they're coming with hostile intent. It's not going to be as pretty or well-done as the one in the realm because I need to limit my time in the umbra and I can only cross over once per week with my cat's-eye talisman, but I think I can finish it up in one or two more trips.
Frankly? I'm kind of impressed with the work I've done on this project.
Ran into Ghost a couple times in the city. She's brought blood samples--one from her "normal" self and one where her own blood is toxic. Val's got them. I need to tell her to pass them along to Quin after I can take a peek at them. Also, in talking about the recent earthquakes (the one from last week was pretty rough and knocked a few trees over, but I was able to stabilize the cabin with some Forces magick after I realized what was going on), Ghost offered to swipe a seismograph from the SCCU geology department. She's thinking of smuggling it out through the umbra, but.... Probably not a safe option. I'll see if I can enlist Slug, Emma, and maybe Salem to assist. Maybe help her get back into garou society a little in the process, too.
Good Lord. Why the hell am I concerned about werewolf social dynamics? Surely you have better things to do, Nick!
