I know she is doing something. I can feel her in my head. Everything is tingly and twitchy and that bracelet itches like madness.

I will be in my tower. With Larkin. Someone should probably check on us regularly to be certain I haven't gone off the deep end.
If you hear anything breaking, that would also be a good indicator.

Maybe I shouldn't actually be with larkin right now.

If I look into a mirror today and see red hair, I am going to be pissed.

Well, I've finally finished going through a positively enormous library of the most horrible books on black magic I will ever read. I hope. I've also stopped in to check a much smaller, pretty mundane library with an actual catalog--that didn't take long

I've come to point where I'm having to realize that this is the first time this has been done deliberately, meaning we really need Maleficent's personal library. I know we've been through her books at Radiant Garden several dozen times now and none of it was helpful.

I suspect she had another more secret library. There are several possibilities. I know we pretty much razed her castle on Mirror Earth, so I doubt it's there. If it were in Radiant Garden, we'd have found it by now. there's only one more possibility I can think of, so going to check into that.

A few pieces of paper with colorful scribbles on them (Itza fish, mama! Daddy fish!) and a romantic lunch with my husband. Oh, and more love letters.

I think I actually like my birthdays now.

In other, less sappy news, Song and I redid the wards on the house day before yesterday. Or added to them is probably closer. I think we're good for a while~

Current Mood: cheerful

I'm worried about the Rainbow's End wards.
If they're letting Medrau and Awiergan through, even partially, could they have been sabotaged?
Do they wear out naturally over time?

I wouldn't know how to reinforce them.

I have recently come to the realization that my boyfriend would destroy a world for me and is probably capable of doing so.

I am not sure how to feel about this.

Good thing I'm not evil, huh?

Current Mood: contemplative

I have a small problem.

My hair's going black.

Unless this is just how former Nobodies age. I don't know.

Mab, you getting anywhere?

I've actually finished the library mentioned and gone through another since my last post: the most recent one was modern enough that I could use an actual computerized catalog!

I've started another that requires the use of the Lady Gwendolyn alias. This one's got more in it that may be useful: arcane texts, many of them related to darker magics. It's pretty creepy.

Y'know, my nap dreams have always been the weirdest ones. Dunno why, they just...are. And I'm getting to this so late tonight because of said nap, and then the kids, and hanging around Song's room singing 'This is the song that never ends' at her, to absolutely no effect except maybe a glare or two on the twelfth repetition of it-

ANYWAY.

Hi.

[Locked to Aria]

Aria, how's Seph been? I'd ask him directly, but- He was in my dream. Nightmare, really. I can't even tell you guys what it was, because it was one of those where as soon as I wake up, I can't really remember anything besides the bad feeling it gave me...so it was probably nothing. But still.

Current Mood: weird

belegwen

At least these are more conventional books, and it's a smaller collection (thank heaven!) than some of the previous ones.

I've had to take on my Lady Gwendolyn persona again, which is always odd. But some worlds . . . it's a lot simpler to be taken for nobility. And since His Majesty appears recognize me as such, I guess it's not even bending the truth anymore, aside from using the name Gwendolyn. Only it's funny, but the name seems as natural as my own when I'm in a world where I use it. Song gets to use multiple names, not even counting the ones for people who aren't her; is it so wrong for me to have a pseudonym or two?

I should get back to work.

[Say hi to a smiling little boy wearing a green t-shirt that reads, 'Be glad I'm not twins'. Eli's on his knees on the bed, randomly pressing keys on the laptop. He either knows that the video is on because of the little blinking light, or just thinks it's on all the time. In any case he taps at the screen before putting a finger to his lips.]

"Shhh, mama's sleepin'."

[Eli scoots out of the way long enough to reveal his mother curled up behind him, glasses still on. She apparently dozed off while reading the network. Eli crawls back into view, clutching a small stuffed Platypus toy.]

"Lookit what La'kin gaved me."

[Translation: 'I like it, so it's mine now.' He bumps the toy against the screen a few times, showing it off. Behind him, Amy shifts in her sleep.]

"Can't have him, he's mine."

[Whatever she's dreaming, she doesn't sound happy about it. Eli freezes for a few seconds, looking guilty before shoving the toy under his shirt in an attempt to hide it. He then leans as close as he can to the screen and whispers.]

"Bye bye."

[His little hands reach up to close the lid, and the video ends.]

HAPPY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY YOU GUYS!

Now I don't really have anything planned for this anniversary of H-Day, but something like this deserves a post! Five freaking years, you guys. Five years since it all began, since we all met and started making friends in a silly self-insert game. Five years since we started fighting Heartless. Five years we've been awesome together. Dare I say it, five years of being epic together.

This is a post to celebrate! So celebrate the fuck away, Refugees.

I forgot how much I hate morning sickness. Okay, throwing up in general. Bleh. It did end in cuteness, however...and a bit of a mess. Jale had the kids downstairs in the playroom while I was straightening up a few things in the living room. Started feeling kinda queasy again, so I laid down on the couch. Eli came in and asked if I was okay. (So cute, this kid.) Told him mama didn't feel good but I'd be better soon. Got a kiss on the cheek and he darted off, presumably back to the others. Um, nope. Few minutes later Eli's back wearing just his shorts and socks, and carrying his dripping wet shirt, offering it to me so I 'feel betta'. You could smell the toilet water from a foot away.

*facepalm*

Apparently he was paying attention yesterday when Jalen got me that wet washcloth. Since he couldn't get to the towels in the cupboard, he used his shirt. And since he couldn't reach the sink, he...dunked it in the toilet bowl. I thought we had the child-lock thingies on those? Please tell me he hasn't figured out how to undo it already.

That really was the sweetest thing ever.

Current Mood: loved

Hey, just doin' the whole "checking in to let everyone know I'm still alive" thing.

Life's pretty awesome on the high seas. Or high space rather.

Well, I've moved on to the next library on my list.

Actually, it would be more proper to call it a repository, since most of what's in it aren't books, but tablets of precious metals.

Translating cuneiform gives me a headache, did you know that?

Also, this is going to take forever.

And I miss Brendan. I hate sleeping alone.

And Amy, I'd like another update on Song. She seems to be sulking and not returning my e-mails. Someone apparently doesn't like it when big sis follows her example.

So... I think someone mentioned that maybe this dark stone thingy of possible doom should be sent to Yen Sid. Because I really think we need to get rid of this thing.

Aaand...

Seph is stubborn.

He doesn't like Yen Sid so, he's not going to bring it himself. He refuses to let me touch it in case it would affect me or something while refusing to admit that maybe it's affecting him so I can't bring it.

And there are few people he would trust enough that he thinks might not get corrupted if that can happen...

He's still mulling over who he might trust with it.

So... who's not busy and has access to transport? And... isn't afraid to touch the thing... and doesn't have evil voices in their head...

Current Mood: frustrated

shadowchaser

Um. So.

Guess who's having a baby?

Current Mood: calm

Just checking in, partially to reassure Song that nothing bad has happened to me (or her ship).

I'm still checking the first library on my list. No luck so far, but given the primitive state of the catalog there's still hope.

Going here (Beast's Castle) first was a gamble based on the fact that Disney borrowed a lot from Robin McKinley's Beauty in adapting their version (or maybe they both borrowed from the same reality, I'm not sure how all these things actually worked). Anyway, I was hoping that the actual library portrayed in the film would work on similar principles to the one in Beauty and that because of the increased magic we see everywhere the magic wouldn't have faded when the enchantments were broken (as was implied in the book). (The library in the book contained not only all books written, but all books that would ever be written. I will confess to attempting to confirm this theory by looking for Cold Days. Did not find it, sadly.)

Anyway, while the library only contains books that have already been written, there is a large section of arcane texts and mystical lore, and I've been going through them. Unfortunately, they're some of the most neglected texts, so lots of dust. Most of them have preservation enchantments, so at least there's no mildew . . .

So tell me, how are all of you? How is my family back on Rainbow's End? How's my Ashlyn? Have Amy and Jalen started work on my next niece/nephew yet? Inquiring minds want to know!

Going through an old box in my closet, I found this poem. Oddly it was written seven years ago.

Painting gold wings on spider-silk,
Watching them fly away,
Breaking down the walls you have built,
Singing things you can't say,
Calling the moon down from the sky,
Dancing across the coals,
Spinning thread from shadow and light,
Making the puzzle whole,
Tracing string through the labyrinth,
Listening to the stars,
Throwing aside all common sense,
Chasing dreams from afar,
Recreating the universe,
Lighting cold souls with fire,
Desiring to heal every hurt,
Claiming Orpheus' lyre,
Stealing sweet kisses from the wind,
Dying to death to live,
Going where no one else has been,
Giving all you can give,
Unchaining brave Prometheus,
Reading the marks of time,
Finding the things that you can trust,
Sounding the broken chime,
Drinking the garnet wine of dreams,
Winning the endless fight,
Catching the music's theme,
And setting fate aright.

I realized that I can't just wait here with the babies. Maleficent's was right a year ago when she said we are too few. I have to find a way.

Songbird, I'm not giving up on you.
