Momentum and doubt
A lot has happened since the new moon moot.
Portlandia. Illusions. Half-moon moot. New bastet in town?
( A side trip to Portland to check on my two apprentices, who are doing well, and to talk crazy talk to other mages. Oops. )
( Re-establishing resonance with the fire pit at the caern. This feels like it goes beyond Correspondence, rolling into something spiritual. )
( I think I can pull off a fairly convincing tiger illusion now. )
( Attending my first half-moot. It was mercifully drama-free. )

A meeting with Jacinta results in getting everything but an all-access pass to the caern itself.
Emma must have gotten in touch with Jacinta, because Jacinta turned up at my cabin last night. We had a very interesting, productive discussion. One that leaves me wondering just how desperate and afraid the sept is right now.
( Access to places of power in the woods. ))
( Have you considered reaching out to other local Bete? )
( Permission to work magick from afar that affects things at or around the caern in a time of war? )
( May I have a pebble taken from the caern's heart? )
( Can I physically go to the caern? )
( Errata. )
Holy shit, Nick. What the hell have you gotten yourself into?

I don't know if I'm a pessimist or a realist.
( Wed, June 11--Today I went to church. )
( Wed, June 11--Supplies acquired )
( Thursday, June 12--The Hermitage. )
( Fri, Jun 13--Revelations from a phone call with Emma. )
( Wed, June 11--Another note to Karuvar. )
Expect riots to occur in Saint Claire within 1-3 weeks. Your area of town will be affected, but it appears--at least in the near future--that Copper Sands will go unmolested by these riots that will be centered largely on the northwestern part of the city and the Courthouse vicinity. Still, do take care and precautions.
I sincerely apologize for this second intrusion, but thought you would be highly interested in this information. And no, I am not causing them.
----------
I hope he appreciates the information. I didn't loiter and spy to find out. Despite the momentary intrusion, I am giving him and his guests the privacy they likely want.

( Dear Cockroach. Sorry for squishing four.... )
( Rajani may be dead. The Plasticor bane is shapeshifting and mind-fucking people--as a means of infiltration. )
( Meeting with Val in the Rook and Raven. )
Back at the tenement now. I think I'll spend the rest of the night reading a few ebooks since my case load has.... oh, crap. I need to find someone else to help located Izzy Spark's mother what with Mouse out of town.
( BONUS IC log snippet of Nick apologizing to Cockroach for accidentally killing four roaches. )

( So is it just me, or is that crazy, perverse, or a giant soap opera? )
( Breakfast with Salem: Cubs are whiners and switching tribes is taboo. )
( The short version of why Salem aged 30 years while I was away. )
( Predestination versus free will as applies to shapeshifters and their worldview/philosophy )
( Arranging with Salem to help give me a rural-based pop quiz in my Defense Against The Dark Arts class.in )

( Tyger, Tyger, burning bright.... In which Karuvar cooks Mouse and makes off with the garou's sparkly. (TOLD YOU SO!!!) )
( I suspect this is the first time a mage has ever been asked if he could "put a caern to sleep" by a garou. )
( Val used to taunt the garou. Ha ha! )
( Salem welcomes me to the family, and is a grouchy old cuss under a full moon. )
( Worrying about being tailed, confirmation that I can't put a caern to sleep (but it can be done by mages more competent than I), and a busy day planned for tomorrow. )
