Things are Changing

I'm not supposed to be doing this. I should be just leaving that stock “ENDING COMMUNICATIONS” bullcrap like I did on SSA. Linking to that new blog …. I just can’t though. I can’t just leave everything like that. I have to at least give a little closure for this blog.

Last night Azax came back and just started shouting things about how “He’s the leader now” and how “Zeke and Abel are traitors”. And if I can state my opinion here for a moment, that’s all a crock of shit. But things just happened so fast that nobody could really say anything different. That and he apparently had permission from the Blind Man. Who’s apparently so mad that we can’t go talk to him, there’s even guards at his door for god’s sake…

All this because Diesis is dead…. Yeah that’s right. She’s dead. I almost forgot about that… I need a moment.

Ah, that’s what today was missing. A good cry. Hehehehe… heh.

It’s been a few hours now. Since Zeke and Abel were booted off the island. Things already aren’t the same. I can’t hear Abel laughing as he plays with the whales. I can’t hear Zeke yelling as Raph out does him in target practice… I can’t hear them chuckling to each other at their own jokes… It’s so quite now. Even with all those new “Knights” moving things around and shuffling through the halls… This place has never felt so… empty.

The worst part about this. What can I do? How can I change things? This is just a job to most of the Knights. They’ll just go with however says they’re the boss. Even Michael seems to be with this. After he snapped back yesterday all he’s been doing is working, doing anything Azax tells him to do…  I have no idea what’s up with Gabe. I know he helped out Zeke, but since then he’s been doing exactly what Michael’s been doing… I think there both in a bit of shock. They've been raised by Diesis longer than they were by their actual parents. They've just lost their Mother essentially.

Maybe that’s why I'm not as effected as them. I've only been a Knight for five years. I wasn't as attached to Diesis as they were… It still hurts though. To know she’s gone.

Raph’s not happy either. He’s just a bit more vocal about it. Last I saw he was yelling at Azax about talking to the Blind Man. Azax just shrugged him off and had two “Knights” try to escort Raph away. Raph just threw them off and walked away. Dante’s the same way; in fact he and Raph are finally getting along. Well at least something good has come of this.

Thanatos and Nix seem to agree with us to. They saw Zeke off at least. Doc Oddy doesn’t seem to excited either… So that’s six. Six out of about a hundred think this is all stupid… We won’t be winning any majority vote that’s for sure.

Heh. I should probably shut my mouth now. If Azax is as big a jerk as I think he is, then I wouldn't doubt him putting a watch on people like me. I guess this is goodbye then. Goodbye to this blog and goodbye to how things were.

Everything is changing here, and I don’t know if it’s for the better…

I Don't Know...

Hey everyone. So Raph was going to talk to Michael today, try and get his side of everything and check if he`s ok. He got called away on that mission though. The one involve the hooded freaks. Anyway, since he left I decided to check on Michael in his stead.

When I knocked on his door he didn't respond. I knew he couldn't still be knocked out so I just let myself in.  His room had no lights on, sheets and blankets were covering the floor, and Michael was curled up in the corner of his bed.

Sarah: Hey Mike...

Michael: Go away. I don't want to hear it.

Sarah: I just want to check on you. Why else would I be here?

Michael: To bitch at me and tell me what I did was insane and stupid.

Sarah: Good to see you expect the best out of me.

Michael: Just leave me alone...

Sarah: No. I can be just as stubborn as you. I'm going to sit here and we're going to talk. 

Michael: About what?

Sarah: Well how about why you stabbed Zeke?

Michael: Because I was pissed off at him. Simple as that.

Sarah: And that automatically leads to attempted murder?! I'm sorry but usually there's a few more steps in between.

Michael: See, I was right. You're just here to yell at me.

Sarah: I'm sorry Mike but I think you need a good bitching out. You almost seriously wounded your friend over a very petty reason.

Michael: Petty reason!

(Mike suddenly flared up out off his corner. Made me jump.)

Michael: Did you SEE what he said?! 

Sarah: Well... Uhm... yes I did...

Michael: Then how can you call it petty! How can you not be as enraged as I am Sarah!

Sarah: ...

Michael: He had the nerve to make a mockery of that night. Do you know which night? The night we lost are lives Sarah! The night we dared to fight for what was precious to us. He had the gall to say that I am a failure for dieing. For letting everything fall apart. When he KNOWS that's been tearing away at me, at ALL of us since then. To brag that he has bested Larvae many times since then, ONLY because he has Nathan's mixtures to hide behind. And what's EVEN worse. Even worse, is that he never even fought on that night. He didn't even see what happened. All he had was Nathan's watered down version. He didn't see the Knights die. He didn't see his best friends lying DEAD. He didn't... he didn't....

Michael broke down crying then. I spent the rest of the night trying to comfort him until Raph came back. He was long asleep by then so we just left him to rest... Why has it come to this. Where'd all the good times go? What happened to all the fun we had at Michael's birthday party. That was only a month ago. How have things gotten so bad so quickly?

I just... I just don't know...

Sooooo, Michael Tried to Kill Zeke

Not even joking. He snuck up behind him and STAB! Clean through to the chest from the back. He would have finished the job to, lucky for Zeke that second personality thing kicked in. It kicked Michael back, ripped his sword out and boxed Michael in the head. Dazed him enough for me to hit him with a tanq dart. Had two Knights carry Michael to his room after that while I tended to Zeke.

Raph: … You dun fucked up.

Zeke: Oh real…ugh… nice. I get stabbed, and you say I fucked up…

Raph: I saw what you said to him Zeke. You made the first strike. Michael just decided to make the second one with his sword. 

Zeke: …

Raph: Did you really think saying something like that wouldn't have negative repercussions? Hell, I wanted to give you a nice punch after reading that.

Zeke: I knew there would be repercussions. That’s what I wanted. I was trying to tick him off…

Raph: And look where that’s lead you.

Zeke: Fucking crazy bastard didn't have to stab me! He could have just… just… I DON”T KNOW! I just wanted to piss him off. I didn't think about after that. Egh!

Raph: Hey, hey, stop flailing about. You’re just going to make the wound worse. I should be getting you to the hospital bay right now. Think you can stand?

Zeke: Don’t, ugh, bother. This should heal up soon enough.

Raph: No doubting that. But do you think it can do that before you bleed everywhere? Come on, you’re going to see Oddy. At least to get that bandaged.

Zeke: Fine. Well I guess I can look on the bright side. It’s going to be a lot harder for Michael to kick me off field duty now.

Raph: Yeah, Blindy’s not going to be too happy with him after this. I don’t that helps your verdict though.

Zeke: What? So you’re on his side with this!?

Raph: Hey!  What did I say about flailing? I`m not picking any sides so cool your shit kid.

Zeke: … Sorry.

Raph: I'm just being realistic. You went and got yourself possessed by some Dying thing. Which may be keeping you alive right now, but is pretty much the cause of all this. I don’t see Blindy being too willing to keep you in a leadership position.

Zeke: …

Raph: The same could be said of Michael though. He’s been to emotionally lately, and this proves he’s not to mentally stable right now. Both of you are most likely going to lose your field jobs.

Zeke: What a great day for the Knights huh?

Raph: Hehe, oh yeah just the best. Well here’s the infirmary.  Go get yourself bandaged up; I'm going to go check on Michael.

Zeke: I guess that’s a good idea.

Raph: Just do us all a favor though Zeke and try to avoid Michael for a few days. Then try to talk things over when you’re both calm… and unarmed.

Zeke: Oh, you can bet I’ll be avoiding him. For a lot longer than a few days though.

Heh. You can just tell things are great when I'm the one having to play mediator… Michael’s still out right now. Just waiting by his door for when he wakes up. Hopefully both him and Zeke can stop being retarded for ten seconds and realise they’re friends again so we can have some peace here.  Doubt that’s going to be any time soon, but hey, a man can hope right?

Dying Trust

Yesterday Zeke made a post explaining how he is now sharing his body with a fragment of the Dying Man. A fear that has split itself into many pieces that now possess humans.... and blogs now to it seems. 

Michael: So, let me get this straight. You went to a blog that you KNEW had been taken over by a fear, and now you're infected with a Dying Man fragment.
Zeke: That's the basics of it.
Michael: While I'm sure I'm not the first to say it, but you're an idiot.
Zeke: Cut me some slack! How the hell was I supposed to know it could infect webpages?
Michael: That's not what matters Zeke.
Zeke: Then what does?
Michael: Do you know how big of a security breach this is?! You're essentially a spy for a fear now.
Zeke: Oh and like I'm the first. If I recall Dante was reporting all are actions to Azrael.
Michael: Yes and last time I checked we were on at least neutral terms with Azrael. We know nothing about this Dying Man.
GoF: I have taken a name for myself you know.
Michael: Oh, there you are. I was wondering when you would speak up. Yes, God of Fear is what you called yourself correct? Excuse me if I'm not so eager to call you a god.
GoF: Hehe fair enough. 
Michael: So while I have you here now, mind explaining what your goals are taking over my colleague?
GoF: Don't worry I'm only in here for convenience. I have no plans on screwing with your organization.
Michael: Good to hear.
GoF: I just want to regain my full power.
Michael: Not so good to hear. Zeke, you mind taking yourself back now?
Zeke: With pleasure. Ugh, that is not fun.
Michael: I can't imagine it being. Well we definitely have to do something about this.
Zeke: Like what? You read what Odysseus said. Nothing short of setting me on fire is going to get rid of him.
Michael: I wasn't talking about getting rid of him. Just simply keeping him out of trouble.
Zeke: By doing what?
Michael: Keeping YOU out of trouble. Starting with your removal from field duty.
Zeke: What?!
Michael: It's the only way to make sure you avoid contact with other fragments.
Zeke: You, by no means, have the authority to do this.
Michael: Which is why I'll be taking this up with the Blind Man. I'm sure he'll see it my way once I explain it all to him. I'll also see about putting a watch on you. To make sure the fragment doesn't try to take you over and escape.
Zeke: This is bullshit Michael! You're acting like you don't trust me.
Michael: Well then, now you know how I feel.

Any One Else Tired of Looking at Red Text?

I sure am. So here's a quick little update to push that post down and out of my mind.

First off, some of you may have noticed the other day that Shadows See All was down and appeared to be deleted. Well that's because some pranksters thought it would be funny to hack Zeke's account. This caused Zeke to panic for about an hour thinking the Fears were and I quote "tired of his shit". But it turns out it was just some unauthorized access that caused blogger to hide the blog.  

Speaking of Zeke he still hasn't told us what this choice Larvae is going to be forcing him to make is going to be. It's really quite frustrating. Especial since it obvious it involves Diesis... Heh. It's all just tiring really. At least the phones been quiet, no new contracts have come in.

Oh and not to mention Ben has gone missing it seems. We haven't heard from him in a while plus no one has seen him on the island. Sarah's more worried then the rest of us though. Ben's like a brother to her. I think he's alright though. He just wants some time to himself most likely.

Well that's really it. It's been quite calm here for the most part, and I hope it stays that way.


Cinis, Cinerem. Pulverem, Pulveri.

It sure has been a long time now hasn't it? At least 10 months since I last typed anything into blogger, since I even thought about this blog really. But considering it's the one year anniversary I figured I should make a post. Ah only one year ago all of this started. It`s really amazing how so much can happen in such a short amount of time. I went from living a normal life to where I am now, my perspective on reality has changed greatly. I've learned a lot about myself and this world. More so than you can imagine.

Oh but I'm just rambling now. I'm really just here to say hello and to announce my soon return. I'm sure you're ecstatic "Archangels". Hehehe, quite the pompous name you guys took there eh? I digress though. Happy anniversary A Life Born of Ash, whoops. I mean, Feather Fall.


P.S.  You guys really should have changed the password by now. 

Michael's Birthday

Hey everyone as I mentioned in the last post Mike`s birthday was this month, in fact it was yesterday. I decided to throw him a surprise party. (Partly because I knew he would try to stop me if I tried to throw it outright.) I managed to get everything together without him noticing but actually setting it up was a different story. No matter how invested he was in his reading I doubt he wouldn't have noticed me covering the main living area in party decorations. So when a Fear conveniently decided to start wreaking havoc I convinced him to go along on the Contract so I could have time to set up. (He`ll post about it on SSA when he`s being less lazy) (I`m not lazy I`m busy!) (You keep telling yourself that.) Once they arrived back I had everyone hide so the surprise could be sprung. This is what followed.

Everyone: SURPRISE!

Michael: … Oh God no….

Sarah: Wasn't the reaction I was looking for.

Michael: Sarah, you know how I feel about my birthday.

Sarah: I know, but… with how crazy everything was last year we didn't get to celebrate anyone’s birthday. I thought since things are more stable now it wouldn't be a problem…

Zeke: Oh come on Mike, a little party never hurt anyone.

Abel: Except that one party. You know the one with the tequila and the chainsaws.

Zeke: What?

Michael: You two knew about this didn't you? That explains why we took a plane back… I don’t know about this, I never liked…

Gabe: Michael (Gabe walks over and puts his hand on Mike’s shoulder) and this is coming from me, lighten up.

Michael: Ehh… Ugh…

(We all get a good chuckle out of that)

Zeke: Alright it’s settled then.

(Zeke and Abel grab Mike by both arms and pick him up)

Zeke + Abel: It’s party time.

Michael: Uh, hey! I never said… Put me down! I can walk there myself…

We walk into the dining room done up with streamers, balloons and a big cake on the table. (I’m a sucker for classic party stuff.)

Michael: Well you certainly spared no expense. When did you get the time to gather all this?

Sarah: I've been running around all month getting this together.

Michael: How the heck did I never notice?

Raphael: Have you ever seen yourself when you’re reading? All there is is you and the book.

Sarah: Anyway, anyway, this isn't discuss Mike’s book obsession time…

Michael: It isn't an obsession.

Sarah: …It’s time to cut the cake! Have at it birthday boy.

Michael: Ugh, don’t start calling me that…

Dante: This damn good cake!

Michael: Indeed, whoever made it should be proud.

Raphael: Why thank you.

Michael: Raph, you made this cake?

Sarah: It’s true. I watched him do it.

Raphael: Oh come on. Is it really that hard to believe that I know how to bake?

Michael: Well… Uhm… Yes.

Gabriel: When did you have the time to learn? Was part of proxy training baking lessons?

Raphael: Well no. I just, you know have a talent for it. Is that so wrong.

Everyone: HAHAHAHAHA

(Raph blushes after that. Yes, we flustered Raph, the gun totting tough guy, enough to make him blush.)

Sarah: Alright I think it’s time for everyone’s favourite part of their birthday, the gifts.

Michael: Oh guys really. You didn't have to waste all this money on me.

Raphael: Shut it and take your gifts.

(Everyone hands Mike their gifts for him. And what do they all turn out to be? Books…)

Michael: Uhm, thank you very much everyone. But you do know I have other hobbies right?

Zeke: I guess we were all on the same page accidently. It’s at least all new stuff for you right?

Michael: Oh yes. A Norse history book from Gabe, a philosophy book from Raph, the newest Mortal Instruments book from Sarah, and this Gun book from you and Abel. Thank you all.

Raphael: Hey wait a minute. Where’s Dante’s gift?

Dante: Huh, what?

Michael: Oh Raph it`s not a big deal, he didn't have to get me anything.

Dante: Oh, no. I got you a gift.

(Dante starts fumbling around under the table.)

Raphael: What in hell could you have gotten that you had to store…

(Dante pulls out a PS3)

Michael: Oh, wow. Thank you Dante.

Raphael: How in hell did you afford that?

Dante: I have a high paying job.

Raphael: Being a Timberwolf is high paying job?

Dante: You’d be surprised.

Zeke: Enough of this back and forth. (Zeke grabs the PS3 box from Mike) Did you get any games for this Dante?

Dante: Yep. Soul Calibur V and Little Big Planet.

Zeke: Then let’s hook this puppy up and let the real party start!

Abel: Woooooooooooooo!

Sarah: Hey, wait up you two!

Raphael: Ready for me to kick your ass in Soul Calibur?

Gabriel: I’d like to see you try.

Dante: Hm? Michael you coming?

Michael: Yes, yes I’ll be right there. Heheheh from fighting Eldritch horrors to playing video games in the span of a few hours. What a life to live.  

Just Because it's September Doesn't Mean I Need to Quote Green Day

Hey all. Been a bit since are last update so I thought I'd just throw a quick one up here.

I'm sure you've all read the latest contract on Shadows See All, and learned how badly that turned out. Yeah that was a rough one, definitely hasn't made me pumped to go on anymore contracts. Oh well, got to move on. Most of the mental damage done by the Grotesque has healed. (Plus it wasn't as bad as Zeke made it sound.) Dante was a big help in that. If he didn't throw that karaoke party together things would probably still be all mopy around here. Oh and Tori, yes, we are definitely bringing you up here for another karaoke party. Nothing says reunion like singing are favourite songs.

Everything else has been pretty normal around here. (Well, are version of normal.) Gabe's talking and being a bit more social now, which is vast improvement over how he was since we got to the island. Raph's been training a lot, working on his aim with the dart guns. And Mike (because I'm calling you that now.) has had his nose buried in books lately. What else is new.

Oh, speaking of Mike. He has a very special day this month and I've got some prep to do for that.

Until then.

Karaoke Night

So for any of you that saw Raph's panicked post last night. Yes, Dante found a karaoke machine. Why is there a karaoke machine here? I don't know, guess it's one of the Blind Man's hobbies. But who really cares, it lead to the funnest night we've had here in a while. 

According to Michael, Dante just barged into the training hall and shooed everyone out. The only thing hey said was "Training over. Karaoke time." 

When he finally let anyone back in, he had converted the whole place into a stage. Seats for everyone, and even a curtain. Don't know how he got that... Once he saw everyone was there he immediately kicked into song. Starting with Disco Inferno. Fitting, I guess. 

This caused two main reactions. Cheering, and Raph running away screaming. The previous post is what followed...Once Dante finished it became an open mike night as everyone went up. 

Zeke was first, singing us the classic Elvis song, In the Ghetto. Then three knights went up with the traditional  Bohemian Rhapsody. I even managed to drag Michael up there to duet The MLP opening with me. (Oh come on I had to.) Abel, who has a surprisingly good singing voice, went up with I Write Sins Not Tragedies. Even Gabe went up with a performance of Want you Gone. Yeah that caught everyone by surprise. 

And to top it all off, Dante ended the night with... Sweet Transvestite. No I'm not kidding. We're just lucky he didn't have a costume to go with it. 

It was all in good fun. And that's what we had. Everyone enjoyed themselves. Even Raph, after he downed a few... Oh well, he's paying by hugging the toilet.

I am Literally Terrified Right Now

I have fought and served the most horrifying creatures this world has to offer. But it is not until now that I know true fear.

Everyone brace yourselves.

Dante has found the karaoke machine.


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 

Things Might be Slow For a Bit

A few recent events have left all of us... in pretty rough shape. Sarah and Raph have been very shaken  and need some rest. While Gabe... has locked himself in his room. He's not doing well at all. And me, well, I'm not sure....

I've defiantly been worse, but some  old wounds have been opened and what we all need is a few days of mental rest.

However I do have something to post from before this. A few things have come to light about a friend of ours...

Ugh....


Cinis, Cinerem. Pulverem, Pulveri.

Poof

So today I go down for my nightly training session, only to be greeted by a crowed of Knights flipping out and running around franticly. I was able to calm them down and get one of them to tell me that Zeke had disappeared.  

Michael: So you mean to tell me…

Raph: DUDE. There are whales outside. With shotguns.

Michael: Raph I don’t have time for shenanigans. There is a more pressing matter at hand.

Raph: What is more important than aquatic mammals that have learned to wield fire-arms?

Michael: Zeke and Abel have disappeared.

Raph: Oh… I’m still more concerned about the whales.

Michael: Heh, of course you are. Now anyway, as you were saying Mr…

Thanatos: Thanatos.

Michael: Ah yes. So, what the hell happened?

Thanatos: One minute Zeke’s talking about going to rescue Abel from whales, the next… Poof.

Michael: Poof?

Thanatos: Poof.

Michael: Poof, what is poof?!

Thanatos: You know poof, as in poof! Not there anymore.

Michael: So he just vanished.

Thanatos: Yep.

Michael: UUUUUUUUGGGGGHH!

Thanatos: What? You don’t believe me?

Michael: No, no… I believe you. I just need to learn which of the twenty or so Eldritch beings that want us dead can make people go… poof.

It was at this point that Sarah walked in with the laptop. Looks like a post was made on Shadows See All.

Sarah: Take a look at this.

Michael: Hmmmmmm. I’m sure it would be useful if I could read it! What the hell kind of writing is this?

Sarah: Leet.

Michael: The hell is leet?

Sarah: Some dumb internet language. Anyway what it basically is that Abel and Zeke were taken for “Testing” by a fear.

Michael: And which fear would this be?

Sarah: You’re not going to believe this. It’s called the Archangel.

Michael: The Arch… angel.

Sarah: Yep. Kinda ironic isn’t it?

Michael: Well then! Is there anything we can do?

Sarah: Talk to the Blind Man? He seems to know what’s up.

Michael: Then let’s do that.

Raph: While were there I can ask him about those whales.

Michael: Not the time for it Raph. Not the time for it.

Well, all the Blind Man said we can do is sit and wait. Apparently this “Archangel” or Azrael is not something we can take on. Let alone break into his domain.  So we’re going to sit here and feel useless…. Fun.

Cinis, Cinerem. Pulverem, Pulveri. 

Communication in this Place Sucks!

And I'm not talking about fucking cell phones. I mean person to person. Talking to people and telling them what's up!

For god's sake Zeke would it have killed you to take five minuets out of your day to tell Naomi that we're back? Or maybe tell us that she's here? Any one else survive that day that you've forgot to mention? HUH?!

And then, accidental or not you've been dodging me the past two days, so I can't even ask you in person!

SEE! COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS!

It's just... it's just. ARG! I hate to post my ranting and venting here on the blog, but if that;s the only way to get people's attention. Then well, what choice do I have.

And it's not just this. There's a lot of other crap going on here.

Heh... Naomi if you see this, I'm sorry. I wish you didn't have to learn of are return by stumbling upon Raph getting his coffee. After we've been back for a week no less.... 

I'd tell her myself... go to her room and talk to her. But she seemed so scared. Well, how can I blame her. She probably thought she was seeing ghosts... 

I just... can`t see her like that. 


Like I said... Communication here.... really, really sucks.

In Which I Explain Why this Place Died

Wow, it truly has been a while since Feather Fall as seen a post on it. I can just smell the dust. That or my allergies are acting up.... Anyway, anyway. I just felt it necessary to explain what happened here. It wasn't that we died... well, we did. But that happened later. It was more the fact that maintaining this blog on top of having to deal with increased threats from The Dark Gentleman and his "son" Larvae, became to much... Especially with the last happens that I half-assedly blogged about.

Now if you look back you can see the second last post on this blog certainly wasn't made by any of us. It was made by Sebastian. An ex Knight we thought we lost in Nathan's attack. Turns out he was a plant. A spy on behalf of The Dark Gentleman..... He sneaked into the Manor and ambushed everyone while I was off on a meeting with Nathan and John. He got me when I returned and tied me up in the basement with everyone else. Well, everyone but Alan, Dante and Ernie. They were out at the time and Sebastian had no idea they were with us. 

Ernie managed to free us, while Alan and Dante attacked Sebastian. And... let's just say, I never want to see an angry Dante again. It's quite terrifying to see what he can do to a person with that sword...

Anyway the whole indecent shaked us up pretty badly and with Larvae on the loose I just couldn't handle the blog anymore. It's been a pretty long time since then and a lot of, for lack of a better term, shit has happened. But we're back now. Are operations have moved however. We're working with Alan and his new Knights, and those operations can be found here: http://shadowsseeall.blogspot.ca/

This is still technically are main blog, but most of what we do will probably be there.

That's all for now. Sorry for just dropping everything here so suddenly.


Cinis, Cinerem. Pulverem, Pulveri. 

It's been a long rough ride.....

It's been about a month now. A month of pure hell.... so much has happened. It hasn't exactly left me blogging time. But I can't stay silent forever. That would put all my research to waste... and it would be insulting if I did.... sorry, I'm still not in a writers mood right now. It's hard to describe how hectic everything here is and why with out rambling on for a hundred paragraphs. I'll pot about the last month and the research later... possibly later today. I'm mainly just saying that we're alive.... most of us....  and that Nathan and John have arrived here. There is much to do, so much to do. Everything will make sense in a few days... 




Cinis Cinerem, Pulverem Pulveri.

Now look at this, there's been no updates here what so ever in over a week now. And with so much information to share? Kids these days. I guess I'll have to punish them for this. Really, when you work so hard to gather information that's just going to get all your friends killed, you really should be more on the ball with uploading it. Less something like this happens.

Oh well. It's my job as a butler to clean up other peoples messes anyway. And I'm one hell of a butler.

Michael wants it quiet so he can study

So I'm going to blast stuff like this all night:

Good night~

So, Ummmm

Apparently yesterday was Valentines day... I never realized that.... until a moment ago. 


People were talking about all over the net. How'd you not notice?


I had my nose in research notes all day. I only went on the internet when you showed me Nathan's post.


You really need to pay more attention to your surroundings. You always get like this when you're studying. -_-:


Yes, reading and research, an old passion of mine. It's marvelous to get back into it. Reading Manic's blog really sparked my interest again.


Just don't lose yourself to much now Michael.


Don't worry I've almost got something pieced together here. There's more going on in recent situations then meets the eye it seems. I still need one more key bit of information to be certain though... but it seems I don't have it. Hopefully I can make due with out, less I need to take more drastic measures....  


Whoops, looks I've complete rambled of the topic of what started this post... Ummmm, happy belated valentines day I guess. 




Cinis, Cinerem. Pulverem, Pulveri.

A Small Apology Nathan

For I've taken a small bite out of your prey. Let me elaborate....


Around eleven o'clock today I was woken up by a loud banging on my bedroom door. I open it up to have Raph hold my rapier up to my face.


Michael: Well that's one way to say good morning.
Raphael: Get dressed, and come down stares.
Michael: Are we going to war or something?
Raphael: Quite possibly. There's an intruder on the premise. It should be here in about 5 minutes. We're all prepped just in case.
Michael: Alright, alright. Just let me wake myself up.


I get myself dressed and head down to the living room. Diesis is sitting in her chair looking like she's waiting for a show. Raph's sitting next to the door with a big grin on his face. Gabriel's flipping his tonfa around (I an only guess he was trying to find the best striking end.) And the rest.... they were playing games on the wii....


Michael: Well, arn't we ready for battle...
Diesis: Battle? I doubt you'll see much of it today.
Raphael: I might have over hyped the situation just a tad.
Michael: Ugh, well at least it's not to serious then. Who's the intruder?
Diesis: No clue. The watch men just sent up a report that someone found there way onto the premise.
Michael: Maybe we'll strike lucky and it'll just be a lost girl scout trying to sell cookies.
Alan: Cookies? 
(The mention of cookies seemed to rouse the attention of the little game corner as I had four pair of eyes staring at me)
Michael: No no never mind.
Raphael: Sush! I hear foot steps. He's here.


We all waited in a dead silence as the foot steps got louder and the door creaked open. 


Deimos: Hello hello hello.
Michael: Deimos?! What in hell are you doing here?
Deimos: Aww, is that anyway to welcome someone back? I thought you'd be happy with all of done for you.
Michael: You've done nothing for us. 
Raphael: Yeah! All you've ever accomplished is running away and leading us into shitty situations. The whole Edgar event probably wouldn't have happened if it weren't for you!
Deimos: Well what can I say? Edgar offered more money.
Michael: W.. WHAT! You mean you purposely lead Azax into a trap? Why I... I!
Diesis: Why are you here Deimos? You've never been one to come by just to torment people. 
Deimos: Why, my money of course.
Diesis: Money? Money for what?
Deimos: A job well done of course. I got revenge for your son, and I've still got more up my sleeve for Nathan. That's my own fun though.
Diesis: Your JOB Deimos, was to protect my son. And when it came down to it you sold him out and ran away. If that's a well done job then I'd hate to see a butchered one.
Deimos: Technicalities. None the less my job is done and I need my promised pay. Unless you wish for there to be "problems" dear Diesis.
Michael: Don't you try anything Deimos.
Deimos: Or what? What in hell can you do--

He did realise until he saw it on the ground that I had severed his hand.


Michael: That.
Deimos: You little bitch!


Before Deimos could even make a step, he was surrounded. Dante, Raph, Sarah and Gabriel all had there weapons pointed to or around Deimos'  head. If he had made any movement he would have been mauled.


Diesis: I think it's time you left Deimos. And it would be best if you never came back.
Deimos: You... you have no idea what your getting yourself into Diesis. You'll regret this.
Diesis: Get the hell off my property.


And with that Raph and Dante tossed Deimos out the door and he scampered off, holding his wrist where his hand used to be. I hope he got the message.

Getting to Know us

Hey everyone, your favourite purple poster is back. And yes, I know I'm posting this incredibly late at night, I'm an insomniac, sue me. Anyway we've FINALLY arrived at the new manor, after all the delays I thought we'd be stuck in motels forever.... It's great seeing Diesis again, and she's already found herself a new staff of butlers and helpers so it's just as busy as the old manor, albeit a little smaller. Alan was ecstatic to be reunited with Ernie, who has made great friends with Dante during his stay. The look on Raph's face was priceless when he saw Ernie and Dante in the same room.... A mixture between unbridled hatred and absolute fear. Ben's recovered from his exhaustion and has been as lively as ever. He's completely left his almost comatose state from when this whole mess started, and to see him acting normally brings a smile to my face. What can I say, he's become like a little brother to me. Sadly as Ben has been getting better, Michael has been getting worse. This cold of his hasn't been letting up, so he dedicated all of today to trying to sleep it off.  But he did leave one task for me to do, and that was to make this post (probably intended for me to make it earlier than 4 AM though).... Looking back on this blog, it's quite obvious Azax wasn't a social butterfly, so the blog doesn't really have any followers. But Michael's decided to try and change that by being a bit more vocal and social. Plus we've never really talked about are selves, so in-order to fill in followers new and old I'm going to post a little bio about each of us:

Diesis rounded each one us up shortly after losing are families. She was searching for and taking care of children who lost there parents to SM. That's how the Knights came to be.

Breaking the Silence... Sort of...

Sorry for the lack of updates, we've been plagued by inconveniences lately. Ben severely exhausted himself after teleporting me and has been bed ridden, Alan's still not 100% yet after getting out of his comma, and I've seem to caught myself a cold. Guess that's what I get for conversing outside without a jacket. Plus we've been trying to keep moving in-between all this, we got way to held up at are last location. Are destination for now is Diesis' new manor, Dante is there as well. Took him long enough to tell us were he was.... But anyway, once were safely at the manor (which I'm not reveling the location of for reasons I'll discus later) and we're all not sick or treating the sick we'll get back to regular updates. 


Edit: Erg, add the fact that chrome has decided to crash at every opportunity to are list of issues.

The Shadow of...

It really has been awhile since I've been here. The fresh air has returned, uncorrupted by the smoke and ash that filled it last time. Even the greenery has started to recover from its viscous burns, already tangling and consuming the once great manor that stood here....


"It's very beautiful, isn't it?" I turn to see Umbra standing there. Maskless, and staring at the manor's ruins.


"Was beautiful."


"Until I came around, right?" He stared at me, not with his usual contempt , but with a longing sorrow.


"No. No this place lost it's beauty long before that..." I divert my gaze to the row of graves at the side of the ruins. So many of them.... So many lost....


"It's not your fault... you know. It's mine. And fate's paying me back... I guess I deserve it." 


"No you don't. No matter how cruel or horrendous a persons actions might have been, they never deserve to lose the one they love. Fate is not that cruel." 


"Why? Why are you being so nice? Why are you even trusting me right now? His stare on me intensifies.


"Because, simply, you are trust worthy. Ever since the new year, no... since your revival. You've been a better person Umbra. You come nowhere close to the horror stories Raph has told me. You've only been defending yourself. Never going out of your way to kill...."


"What about this place... what about Azax... I killed him.


"Hehehehe... you underestimate what I know." Umbra cocks his eyebrow, intrigued by what I said. "It was a week ago. Maby two. When I had a dream. A dream where I saw that night again. This time through different eyes. I saw what happened Umbra. Between you and and him. I heard what was said....You don't have to lie anymore." Once again I find myself staring at the graves, well, more specifically the grave that isn't there.


"Are you going to search?" Umbra was now looking at the graves himself, again wearing a sorrowful expression.


"Are you?" Are eyes lock, and for a minute there is complete silence.


"No. My job was to kill him... and I've done that... "


"Then nor shall I. It's time for the bird to live a free life...."


"Well put, Archangel."


"Michael. My name is Michael Archway. But I guess we've never formal introduced are self's now have we?"


"No, no I guess we haven't. Hehe." Finally, a smile on his face. "Don't think this changes anything though... We're still on opposite sides of this war... There will come a time where I'll try to kill you again."


"Hehe, I wouldn't have it any other way." I extend my hand to him. He grasps it.


"Goodbye, Michael."


"Goodbye... Nathan." And with that he was gone. Slenderwalked away. One last time I look over the ruins. Look over all the memories. And again, all the graves....


"This is what you would have done to... isn't it..."

They're Back

So about 20 minutes ago I'm playing some online games when a knock comes from are door. I get up to go answer it, but Gabe's already there.


(Flips out one of his tonfa's)
Sarah: Put that away. It's probably Michael and Ben, they finished early. 
(Gabe rolls his eyes and opens the door.)


Sure enough it's them standing there. Well, Michael standing there with Ben in his arms.


Michael: Hehe, the whole trip with a little much for him.
Sarah: Ahhhh, how cute. I'll go kick Alan out of his bed.
Gabe: I'll take him. You go sit down.
Michael: Thanks.


Then, as I leave the room I hear Gabe yell very loudly


BLOODY HELL!


I run back in to see that Michael along with the sleeping Ben, have collapsed on top of Gabe. 


Gabe: Well don't just stand there! Get them off me.
(Now just to clarify, Gabe is British. And he usually keeps himself so low key that his accent is hard to pick up on. Not when he's mad though. He loses all his cool and just starts ranting in the thickest of British accents. Which I think justifies what I do next.)
Sarah: Bwahahahahaha.
Alan: What the hell is going on in here.... HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Gabe: Ughhhhh WANKERS!
(Raph walks in, sees Gabe pinned,hold's in snicker)
Gabe: Ughhhh.
(Raph picks Ben off Gabe, and Alan puts Michael on the couch)
Gabe: Damn you all.


That was the best laugh I've had in months. To bad it came at the expense of Gabe's dignity. I'm still chuckling. Anyhow, Michael's still passed out so we'll wait till tomorrow to badger him with questions. At least it seems like it went well. What exactly well is though is left to be determined. 

I Hope you Like Purple

Because I'm still in-charge for a bit. After talking with Umbra on his blog yesterday Michael and him decided to have a chat with each other. All the way back at the manor's ruins. Michael was going to drive up there, which would have left the rest of us completely stranded, but luckily an alternate method of travel spoke up. Ben. He can do that weird, teleport thing Richard could do. But since he's been so closed off we never asked him to do it. But yesterday he offered to take Michael back up there so he'll be there much earlier then originally planned. I hope it will be safe though. Michael seems to have trust in Umbra... but I just don't know. Raph surprisingly hasn't said anything, I think he may be rethinking his little rant from awhile ago and his feelings on Umbra. But whatever his reason, at least he didn't cause any problems.


In other news, Dante's still missing. We had hopped he had just gone to try and find Raph, but that was obviously wrong. I just hope he'll be back soon. Let's see, let's see... Is there anything else.... anything else... Alright alright. Since he's getting so antsy about it, some one would like to say hello


Alan's Awake!


You've already used that joke.


Oh... Well I'm using it again anyway!


Hehe, sure sure. Yep, Alan's rejoined the waking world, fit as fiddle. Guess it's a perk in the whole immortality thing. He'll be making a post here later, about his feelings on the last few weeks and on his plans on what he's gonna be doing. So yeah, until then.    

Dis-function Junction

Well things are just a huge mess down here. Raph's been pissed off ever since his huge cyber rant at Umbra, and after Gabe and Dante were discussing how Umbra's changed (for the better) since his trip to hell he got in a HUGE argument with them that Michael had to break up. Raph proceeded to storm off and hasn't been back since. Gabe just kept on being uncaring Gabe, Michael's stressed the hell out and sleeping A LOT to calm himself... and Dante upped and disappeared on us. Ugh. As for me, I'm just sitting here. Watching over Alan to see if he wakes up. He's been passed out ever since Umbra dropped him off on are door step. We've been trying to move quickly so we can get him to someplace more stable and where there's someone who knows more about how to wake him up then we do. Looks like that plans been flip upside down. It seems the only one at peace here is Ben. He's just sitting in the corner playing games on the Iphone. He's just like a little kid. Hard to believe just a few months ago he was trying to kill us all.... but that was the mind controls fault not his...  


Sigh.....

I Don't Even

Dante just ran outside screaming "Ill show him" and started using his sword to dig a hole.... What is going on?


Go read his comment on Umbra's blog.


Seriously... he's digging his own grave....


Maybe if were lucky he'll stay down there.


...I wouldn't hate that.


You two agree over the evilest things.


Ugh.... sometimes I feel like I'm leading a band of children...


I ain't got no leader!


Correction.... I DO lead a band of children....

A Big O'l Storm of Explanation

Hello readers, as I promised yesterday here's a post explaining all that's happened in this last crazy week.


First, why I disappeared: After we found.... what was left... of the first contact, we headed for the second who was located in Minnesota. After grabbing a motel room, nothing to spectacular but it houses all of us, I went out to grab some food. A simple errand... or at least it should have been.... On my way back... I felt a sudden chill, it shot up my back and froze my movements. I've never felt anything like it. It was pure, unbridled terror.... There is one thing... one being I knew could case this.... The Dark Gentlemen.... the Slender Man.... As soon as I saw Him my body unfroze, I dropped what I was caring and started running. (Wait, wait, wait. You mean you just DROPPED $30 worth of food?) (Good to see wear your priorities are Raph -_-;) I ran and I ran until my body finally gave out. I didn't lose him though. He came closer and closer to me and I thought for sure I was dead...Until someone jumped in between me and Him, grabbed my hand and whisked me away. Which brings me to my next point


Who is Dante: Yes, Dante saved me from Slender Man. He dragged my exhausted body far away and up a fire escape to the top of an apartment. It was there he explained who he is. In short he's the second contact. After we told Diesis about what happened to the first, she contacted him and he found us instead. Good timing to. We then laid low for a couple of days as SM still stalk around a bit. He seemed very determined, but he bored after a few days. We started to head back but when I checked on the blog and saw that the Executioner... or, in truth, Umbra, was going to attack, we laid low and waited for the right moment to intervene. As for what Dante's doing now... it seems like he's staying... I'm very grateful to him, and he'll be a valuable addition to are team... but he's a little... eccentric (That's putting it lightly....) (He could be worse Raph.) (The man tries to talk in rhymes Michael. I'm pretty sure he's insane...) (Who needs sanity when you have perfect hair) (That doesn't even make sense!)


Ehm, yes... anyway. On to my next point.


The whole deal with Nathan Umbra: Umbra is an old nemesis of are's. When Azax first started his blog he manipulated his bad memory into thinking he was an old friend, when in fact he was the first and worst proxy to harass him. He manipulated a lot of people actual.... making false fighting movements and "alliances" all in order to kill mass amounts of Runners.... Azax or as he called him "The Child of Ash" was top priority... But he never got the chance. A man by the name of Clark killed him and sealed his soul in hell. He did try to come back before by taking over Mr. Alan, but that was quickly dealt with.... and we thought we saw the last of him then. (Should of figured this would of happened. Hell was to good for him. I knew they'd want him gone.)  Yes, as you can tell Raph has a major... dislike of Umbra. 


You see, Raph along with a few other Knights, were recruited from Nathan's old "army". We took them in after his death. (The bastard had us all fooled. I thought I was finally free from the Skinny bastard... but to learn all we did... was just to make it easier for that bastard to do his job... all those horrible things... FUCK!) 


It's a stressful time. And I'm sure it will be worse for people that knew Umbra better... Ehe. I think were going to move along to a safer, less known location and rest a little. So sorry if updates might come slower... but, until then.


Cinis Cinerem, Pulverem Pulveri.      

Into the Inferno

Well I am the worst jinx ever. Like the worst. As soon as I finished that last post. Not even five minutes later. Guess who came bursting into are motel room. Yep, the Executioner. Scared the living shit out of me. 

Raph and Gabe were right on him. No exchange of words just the sound of Raph firing and the Executioner laughing as he just took the bullets and slammed Raph against the wall. Gabe kicked him in the stomach causing him to drop Raph, and nailed him in the face with a tonfa. He backed of a bit but quickly changed his mind and rushed both of them. Raph fired a quick shot which hit him right in the head. How it didn't kill him I'll never know. But he was still standing, dazed, but standing. Raph took this opportunity and tackled the Executioner to the ground, pointing his gun to his forehead. 

Raph: Ain't so tough now are you? Not so strong with out your little master now huh?! HUH!?

Executioner: ...

Raph: Huh? A chip in your head? Ohhhhh your wearing a mask. I guess I've been so caught up in killing you that I never noticed.

Executioner: ...

Raph: Weeellll let's just see what your ugly little face actual looks like!

Raph: What the... fuck.

(Raph jumps of the Executioner and backs up)

Raph: What the actual fuck...

Sarah: Raph... what's wrong. 

Raph: No. No. You're dead. We all saw you die. You're rotting in hell!

(The Executioner get's up. With out his mask he's got brown hair and a goatee.)

Executioner: I take it you didn't miss me?

Sarah: Raph.. who... is he? Why are you so upset?

Raph: It's the Prodigal Liar. Nathan Umbra.

Gabe: Umbra? But... how?

Nathan: Now now, isn't a man entitle to his secrets?

Nathan then pulled out a combat knife and rushed at us with blinding speed. A loud CLANG rang out as his knife meet another blade held by non other then Michael! 

Michael: Dante, now!

Suddenly someone else jumped into the room, caring a giant fucking sword. He swung it at Nathan, pinning him by this weird crevice the blade had at the tip.


Nathan: Who the hell are you?!
Dante: Come now man are you deaf? You heard Michael call me out. I'm the man of the inferno, Dante. Don't go forgetting it now. It's rude to forget the name of your killer.
Nathan: Cute, you think you can actually kill me~
Dante: Considering I've got my sword around your neck, I'm pretty confident.
Nathan: Hehehehehe, well Archangels it seems I have to prolong are battles even further. It bothersome I know. But I promise I will end this all next time. Hehehehe. Mwahahahahaha!


And poof. He was gone. Slender Walked away. Fucking coward. Well anyway, I'm going to turn it over to Michael so he can finish this up.


Yes, sorry for my absence readers. There were much complications, but I'll write about that and how I meet Dante later. I'm very exhausted right now as I'm sure the other are to. Plus with the Executioners identity now known... there is much to discuses. I'll be sure to message Diesis about this. Hopeful she can explain how Umbra came back from the dead....


Cinis Cinerem, Pulverem Pulveri.

Heading into Battle Apparently

So yeah, about an hour ago Raph walked into the room with this to say:


Raph: Everyone got there weapons?
Sarah: Whhhhhhhhy?
Raph: Cuss the Executioner's coming here to kill us. So were going to kill him first. Simple as that.
Sarah: Wha--wha-wha-WHAT?!
Gabe: So what time should he be here?
Raph: Don't know. Could be any moment.
Gabe: Perfect.
Sarah: What. Do you two actually want him here?
Raph: Yep.
Sarah: Why?!
Raph & Gabe: Because I want to kill him.
Sarah:.... Well at least you can finally agree on something...


Well it's been an hour now and no sign off him. I guess Slendy can't afford to send him express. Raph and Gabe are patrolling around. There like giddy children. It's almost scary... I wish Michael was here to talk some sense into them....  No time for wishing though. I've got to get Ben somewhere safer. I'll post once everything has died down. 


Till then.

Well Fuck

I hope all are wonderful readers out there have had a good holiday season, because we sure as hell haven't! Hey everyone this is Raph, why not Michael? Cuss he's FUCKING missing. Yep, yep. Barely a month into this little journey and things have already gone to shit. You see, three days ago after we got are selves into the US looking for the next connection after we found the first one mutilated and strung up from his ceiling fan, Michael left to go get some food... and never came back. Did we worry? Yep. Did we look? Yep. Did we find anything? I think that's obvious. Needless to say I'm pissed and the others are worried. Especially with the death of that connection resembling the old signature of a certain Elderitch Abomination....  fuck. Well I guess that's it, not really much else to say. I highly doubt any one reading this could be of any help. Or that one in a million chance that you can see this Michael.... heh. Updates will be made when we have them.
