Cauti Cordati Auspicati

261 of 365. @elsewhereuniversity has pulled me in far, maybe too far. Don't be dazzled by the mask, turn away if he starts to remove it. Never turn your back on the snake. If he offers you a shed skin take it. If he offers you anything else, politely decline then RUN.

Out of curiosity the fox I met the other day had two tails. Is this normal? I thought it impolite to ask the fox so I did not, but must admit I'm rather curious.

She goes by Saturne. If you feel the other eyes, never mention them, and by god and iron, never look.

Okay. So I didn’t actually apply to EU. I lived in West Virginia in the woods surrounded by trees and had plans all worked out until the letter showed up. There have always been dozens of crows around my house and the crows are the ones who brought me this letter. My grandmother leaves bird seed out to feed the crows sometimes and so I gave the one carrying the odd old looking letter a handful of seed and it flew off. My grandmother turned pale when she saw the letter and left quickly to the spare room where she works on her projects. Upon coming out later in the evening she had handed me a necklace of fine silver chain with thirteen wooden rings around it. She told me to never take it off. I applied and declared my major to elsewhere especially after I saw the amount of scholarships I was being given to attend. So the week before classes started my grandmother helped me back my bags and off I went to start university. Grandmother had given me a list of very specific rules but most of them were the ones I followed at home anyway so it hardly mattered.

So I kinda wanted to talk about my experience with the crows. I think they are quite majestic, especially here. I talk to them sometimes about almost anything, mostly if I feel a bit lonely. They listen, even though they might not care for what I talk about. Maybe its just the sweets I occasionally bring, who knows. I know they understand me, you see the intelligence in their eyes. Lately I was talking to then about how I made my blog and one of the crows perched on the bench right next to me. So I told him(her?) about things and how I enjoy helping Marigold with stuff she doesn't know. (like otp and other info) The crazy part is that when I talked about that the crow seemed to nod at me almost in thanks, it was probably my imagination though. Regardless, I used my emergency m&ms packs and let the crows have a few extra sweets. They're pretty cool.
