Mithras Ryden: Witch of the Drifts

So I haven't been writing much lately because, after I've found all of my stuff, I started preparing for All Hallows Eve. See some of the Circles enjoy the treat part of trick or treat. (But let's face it they are all children). But there are some who enjoy the tricks. And for the past....I don't know how many years, all of the pranks have been on me. Now sure, one or two, that's fine. But when an entire Circle comes after you for the past 9 years in a row, you start to get a little pissed off (I'm looking at you Eastern Circle). So this year, all of my poppets are in place for the worst of curses. I have several "nonlethal" traps waiting within the 30 kilometers around my house. And, for added measure, "borrowed" Duncan and Kim's force-field when they weren't looking. Now that sounds bad, (especially because it's more science than I would like but...what can you do when you're looking at the worst prank possibly in history) but I'll return it. I'm writing this now so I can be either mad at myself later for not preparing this well enough, or extremely pleased at how well I did. P.S. It's not all of the Eastern Circle but, most of them. Some of them are pretty nice.

You know that feeling you get when you wake up and you're not exactly sure what day it is? Yeah, that's how I woke up. It was probably Tuesday when I went to sleep, but I woke up and the sun wasn't up and still isn't. I can't find my list of missing items, which is great. I didn't clean up the Flux and its grown around my toes and floorboards. It's snowing....again. Some people decided to wake me up with really LOUD WHISPERS. (Dear Central Circle, THOSE AREN'T WHISPERS ANYMORE, THEY'RE SCREAMS) I'm just generally in a state of disorientation. I can't focus, I can't think. Is this what being hungover is like? (Never got used to the taste of alcohol) I don't even care anymore. I would go back to sleep if these "whispers" weren't so GOD DAMNED LOUD. I'm not going to get any research done today am I? Screw it, I'm going to see if I can hold the pillow over my face until I pass out. Maybe then I'll be able to go back to sleep.

Ah! I found you! Okay. Good. One more thing to mark off the list. I don't think I got Resonant Ender on you when I dropped the bucket yesterday. I mean, you were wedged into the Altar cloth. Doesn't matter now. I haven't slept I two days because of the Resonant Ender incident. I had to go the farthest South I've been just to find my bed (Hint: It was in the Flux Castle. [I had to go the long way just to avoid anyone]) I lost a total of 139 objects. 140 counting when I touched it and ended up in Lying's Well. (I can see why he doesn't like it down there.) I have 86 of the 139 objects. One of them being the Research Notes I've spent weeks on. Looking for 2 days, combined with the voices on the wind and NOT HAVING A BED, I can't get and damn sleep. I'm even surprised I can do this coherently. Anyway, I'm going to clean off all the remaining Flux off of my bed. (seeing as I've had my fair share of Flux problems, this shouldn't be too hard) Goodnight.

Everyone seems to be very active all of a sudden. I keep hearing more whispers on the winds than usual. And because the Coven likes to keep me in line, they are sending all of this my way on the winds. And DEAR GODS does it make it much colder up here. They pick up snow and toss it everywhere. Again, it's not really a problem, seeing as I can just send it....elsewhere [If any of you read this, don't be surprised if you "mysteriously" get tons of snow out of nowhere. Heh Heh]. I mean, that's what they get, making it more cold than it has been because this GOD DAMNED WIND WON'T STOP! [that was meant for you! (you know who you are)] Anyway, removing the snow is really just more of a hassle than a problem because it distracts me from my project. Which I should get back to work on. Until tomorrow....I guess. 

It rained today. Which is kind of unusual, seeing as how far North I am. I suppose it was rather warm this morning. I talk about the weather too much. Well, I’m going to embrace it. The rain felt good. It felt…..warm. It was a change up to the normal cold. Reminded me of how much I liked the weather down South. But I can’t go back there. Too much bad blood, I guess. I tried to tell them it wasn't my fault but they weren't having any of it. Well, that was probably too much. Back to the rain. It mixed with the snow and made some slush. I found the texture of it to be really different from the snow and ice. I've discovered it helps preserve food pretty well, but I cant keep it in the house because it'll soak the rugs. I messed around with the slush and tried my hand at ice skills again. I haven't touched that for....a while. I assume it's probably raining down by Kirin too, but I didn't hear any lightning again. The rain yesterday didn't last long enough to really tell. Must have broken that lightning affinity. Anyway, the rain switched to snow a few minutes ago so, I'll end this log here.

Day doesn't actually last that long up here. I suppose I should go back in when the sun sets. I can get back to work on.....nevermind. You don't need to know that right now. (Especially if they can read this, which in all honesty they probably can. [I can never get away from them can I?])

Storm lasted longer than expected. Maybe this one was my fault. Eh, what are they going to do? Go out in this? I didn't think so. ..Hope they don't read this. Why would they? Not like they have....nevermind. Look, today I'm really just questioning everything. Why did magics have to be the thing that I happened to be good at? Why cold? I hate the cold. Dammit, why? Now I'm just angry, and if this keeps up, this storm maaay get bigger and possibly move farther South. Oh, but then they might get mad. However the thought of KirinDave and Lyinginbedmon getting their asses froze off does make me chuckle. Nah, not worth it.....right now. Hopefully this storm will be gone soon, my door's starting to get blocked up. No that it won't be a problem though.

Cold today, not that it bothered me. Again. I’m beginning to think that moving as far North as I could would distance me from the whispers and rumors of the Circles. Nope. They seem to carry on the wind now. Recently I heard something about Kirin and Lying doing something…interesting farther South. Figures. It sure seems like the farther South you are, the more you work with others. That’s why I’m up here I guess. Had to get away from the Coven. What with the….nevermind. I suppose it’s pretty obvious why I had to come up here. All the others despise me. And that’s fine, I despise them. Well, the Northerners more than the rest. Northerners seem to like being by themselves. Minus Kirin and Su. They seem to like each other. Or at least tolerate each other. Well I’m rambling now. Might as well call it a day, what with this storm kicking up again. And I promise this one isn’t my fault.
