5. The Search for Magiq: "Elemental Disruption"

Pokemon Go decided that I needed to find eight Pokestops that I haven’t been to before for a special spooky task. Seemed like a perfect excuse to stuff the sigil in my pocket and go hunting the trails behind my primary work location.

Found a perfect spot for it!

Went past the first geocache I ever found in town on my way home and decided to check it out for the heck of it (it’s changed containers since then). Lo and behold, a little notebook and a yellow highlighter were inside (among other things). I quickly sketched a copy on one of the pages and put it back. Didn’t get a pic of the page because people were coming, but I got a pic of the container back in its hiding spot! (It’s a bit blurry now that I look at it)

Been a busy week for me and didn’t quite know where the best place for sigil would be, but then I realized there was something that I have brought to all the lakes and mountains I visited last year!
My fish and wildlife pass now has a little slip behind it as I continue my travels.

Exploring the park in an “area of outstanding natural beauty” (that’s an official thing, not just me boasting. It looks amazing when it hasn’t been raining for pretty much 2 days straight) with members of my reenactement group in my first full gear training session today. We were tryign to see where the path lead over what we effectionately named Castell Dripio (Drippy castel, lol). Couldn’t really get my symbol in shot as I was jugling a spear, a shield, and my phone, lol.

IKEA seems like a good place for a sigil of exploration :heart:

I’ve placed two so far — one at Penn Station, a major(ly overcrowded) transit hub in NYC, and another left on the train.

I finally got some time to take a walk with some friends, so I drew this on my hand right before we left to explore!

I am about to take a ghost tour of an abandoned mental hospital while wearing the sigil. Very excited to explore!

Haven’t gotten the chance to do much exploring, but I’ve kept the sigil with me each day and appreciated having it as a small reminder of Light during a stressful week.

One more week, folks, fingers crossed! (And hopefully we get word soon :crossed_fingers::crossed_fingers:)

We made it to the other side of the world. We nearly had to hold the plane together with our bare hands, but we made it.

And they’re already here.

Having people in three separate villages ask us “Are you the ones they’re looking for?” is worrying enough, but tomorrow we begin our final ascent and so many are scared that we won’t make it up the literal mountain we’re about to have to climb to get to safety. Not before they find us.

We’re so close. Wish us luck, Mountaineers, we’re going to need it for the climb.

I’m so relieved to hear you and the others made it!

Hopefully this will help keep them off your trail:

Considering I live in this delightful quadrilateral of churches (yes, there are really this many churches in my area within 5-10mins walk of eachother), I figure just wearing the symbol on my arm is gonna cause some disruption.

It’s going on my phone as a wall paper now, and I’m probably going to be putting it around my house during my marathon game day for Extra Life. Obligatory pitch here, Extra Life is a charity raising money for Children’s Miracle Network by doing a gaming marathon. We’ll play games 25 hours straight this Saturday through Sunday and harrass our friends and family into donating to the kids. Our funds go 100% to the hospitals for use buying new equipment, paying for tutors to keep kids from falling behind while they’re hospitalized, subsidizing travel for parents too far from the specialists their kids need, and covering kids whose parents simply can’t afford the care they need.

@Eaves, you guys are so close! And even though it’s scary with the Silver right on your tail, I know you can do it. Maybe with the House of Humanity on your side, you can get help from a villager or two to run some additional interference. Good luck!

Carried the sigil around with me today during tornado recovery efforts - seemed appropriate. I didn’t take photos because I didn’t want to advertise anyone’s suffering.

I’ve been wearing the symbol and also drawing it in places with invisible ink… I don’t know where my blacklight went but as soon as I find it I’ll take some pictures of some of the ones in the student union! It’s invisible, so won’t cause any disruption to the union folk, but hopefully it’ll still disrupt the people we need to be disrupting

Symbol of (oh the) humanity at the DMV. There’s enough activity that it should be plenty distracting.

At the end of this week, the scroll here will be going somewhere special.
I’ll have to climb my own mountain to put it there.
But it’ll be my bastion against the Silver.
I hope someone will find my scrolls and join our fight.
