Console | Subject: Weather | RE: Odd patterns, consistent heat
[Text]
Monday 7/27:
Drizzle in the morning, partial cloud cover and mist in the afternoon. Weather remains oppressively muggy into the evening.
Tuesday 7/28
Clear morning, humidity high. Afternoon saw brief showers and continued to be hot and humid.
Wednesday 7/29
Humidity cleared a bit around mid afternoon, though the heat continues.
Thursday 7/30
Clear skies though the wind appears to have picked up – somewhat of a respite from the constant heat that remains high from dawn till dusk.
Friday 7/31
Low humidity and constant heat. Winds appear to be blowing from the east now. Odd.
Saturday 8/1
Temperatures have broke into triple digits and the winds shift direction constantly. Though the breezes are welcome, this is an odd pattern.
Sunday 8/2
Sweltering hot and very dry. I don't think these begonias are going to make it without some aid.

Ah, yes. To make this a bit less dry, I've decided to add some gardening tips. So three good ones today.
I thank you, and wish you all a lovely afternoon.

- Grind eggshells into a powder when using them for compost. It makes the calcium much easier for the plants to absorb.
- A great way for starting off a seedling is to put it in a hollowed out citrus peel (such as from an orange or lemon), fill it in with soil and then plant it. The peel will compost nicely, giving the seedling an excellent start. Remember to poke holes in the peel for proper drainage.
- You can grow roses from trimmings. A marvelous way to do this is to stick the trimming into a potato and plant it.
- And a bonus tip for farmers among us, since I noted squash and gourds are major crops. The weather has been hot and dry for the past few days and rain has been infrequent at best. One of the gentlemen at my gardening club uses a method where a pot filled with holes is planted in the center of the garden and filled with water. This makes it easier for the water to reach the deeper roots from squash plants and it isn't wasted by evaporating in the heat.
I thank you, and wish you all a lovely afternoon.

Deathly, I think. As I recall he resided in the Death Plane, and the city's resident necromancer had some trouble with the similarity in the nature of their powers.
[To the point that Wreath asked him to build magic-binding manacles for him.]
action;
[He was quite curious how things seemed to work across realities. He'd been getting the sense that many worlds had parallels to his own and getting a feel for the differences and similarities had become priority.]
action;
[Blending with the gist was not the kind of experience Anton was going to forget.]
He turned out magic off, temporarily. He also granted a select few some 'gifts' under the guise of a benefactor, and then used those gifts to possess them and turn them against the rest of us.
[Fighting Skulduggery wearing Larrikin's face was also not an experience Anton was going to forget.]
action;
I have encountered individuals with similar abilities. Not all possessed by one person but...
[His fists clenched, and his knuckles were white. His jaw was set tightly, and he stared straight ahead.]
...Most were highly ranked Blood Breed.
[He drew in a deep breath.]
May I ask... when he was defeated, were you able to destroy Malicant, or was he confined in some way?
action;
[He can make some guesses, but judging by Klaus's reaction it's something about which Anton should guess.]
As far as I've been able to tell, he's destroyed. We used the power of a stone known to affect him negatively. There were no plans to have him confined, only killed.
action;
[He seems to settle a little.]
But if he was destroyed then that's a relief.
action;
[Anton looks thoughtful.]
Interesting. Necromancy would be the nearest thing in our world, though of course it's assumed that the necromancers created vampires in the first place. Accidentally, perhaps, but even so.
Re: action;
[Klaus gives a small nod.]
The curses written into their very genes are a form of necromancy. The closer one gets to the Elder Thirteen and further along in the stage of the... [He sought for a word for it.] ...infection, the more pure the curses, and the greater the manifestation of powers.
Though that he was destroyed means he probably wasn't a Blood Breed akin to those in my world. Perhaps some manner of Lich? Or just a man well versed in magic?
