5. The Search for Magiq: "Elemental Disruption"


I recently got back into making jewelry - I used to really enjoy it, and I missed creating beauty in my world. Seemed an appropriately “Ore” instinct, so now my toolbox bears the rune.

Creating a final document today based on a lot of research our team has done this year. Seems a good place for the sigil today.

So, there was a concert tonight at work. Naturally the symbol for the house of creation was going to make an appearance.

I took some video during one of the songs with the symbol in the bottom of the frame, but it looks like I’ll have to upload it elsewhere to get it to post here. :eavessweat:

It’s now hiding out under the edge of the light board manual in the control room (which is basically my craft room on long Sunday shifts).

Going on a road trip to a friend’s wedding, picking up other friends along the way. Does creating memories count for the Ore symbol?

If it does, there’s gonna be a really weird moving ping on the Silver radar this weekend!

Sitting at my desk again, but…
This rendering of the old Flinter logo hand (made for me by Rev) sits at my workspace. Figured it could use a little creative boost.

Forgive the awkward screenshot, but I wore my ore t-shirt in the office this week while recording one of our creative projects. Kept wearing it around the city for good measure :hermanthumbs:

Perfect to keep with me while training at a new barista job this week and getting to learn and create new drinks!

Quite wonky, but I’m taking this with me when I go to the Farmer’s Market later today and will stick it in an unobtrusive spot :)

The had this on my laptop all week. I don’t get to work creatively too often, but I’ve certainly been creating lots of stuff for classes this week!

Been knitting with the sigil on my hands today - and now playing D&D! I hope everyone is staying safe.

Yet another brew method for creating coffee. Do you sense a pattern with me yet?


Personally I like the illumination from the halogen lamp.

One pencil drawn rune at my society’s DM match up - creating groups, campaigns, friends and memories, the most creating I’ve been around all week

We didn’t make it as far as we planned, but we’re safe.

Helpful people in villages dotted along our mapped path have warned us when suspicious, weary-looking people have visited them asking about the sanctuary. Between you all and the goodwill of those locals protecting us, we feel like favored stars are shining on us.

The herald is well, and her mind is as bright as ever. If not for her fatigue, you’d never know how sick she had been. At night, in the dark, she tells us all stories of what the new sanctuary is like.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but Port had been leaving the group all week to run ahead and “scout the Silver” and check that our path was clear. I didn’t know any of this was going on, but Ali had been trying to make her listen to reason. Port is a teenager now, and willful, and smaller than any of us. And yesterday she came rushing back, forcing us off the road just as a caravan of trucks passed. The convoy stopped, and a few of the passengers got out, whispering to one another. They’d somehow sensed us, but couldn’t find us. They looked for nearly two hours, before leaving us alone in the freezing mud. If it hadn’t been for Port, and no doubt you, we don’t know what would’ve happened. Thank you.

Ali wants me to talk to Port, shake her out of her burgeoning hero complex, but who am I to tell her anything?

I’m writing to you from an Internet cafe in Venezuela. Some in the group are wanting to divert north, toward the Dominican Republic, then the States, but I fear the island hopping we’ll have to do to get there will put us at even greater risk. If they find us heading north, we run the risk of running out of places to run. That was a very poorly written sentence, but it made me laugh. There hasn’t been a lot of that, laughing, but we’re alive.

Theo is tending to everyone tonight, letting them get a few scritches in before bed. Please keep up the excellent work. We have a long week ahead of us, whether north or east to the coast. If you can, please keep us in your thoughts.

Safe and not caught are the two big important things, and I’m so glad to hear that both are still accurate. (Especially with that close call, holy crap. :colewat:)

Whichever path you all choose, we’ll have you lot in all of the thoughts. (I can’t help but think you picked that wording on purpose, what with Thought week coming up. :simon:)

Stay safe, @Eaves, that’s the important thing. We will try to up the protection on the next sigil, and spread the pings wider. Stay focused on where you’re going, it can help motivate you and give you energy to keep going. We’re rooting for you all!

And I understand where Port is coming from on this… her heart is in the right place. Just make sure she knows her first job is Don’t Die, because that loss would seriously affect everyone’s emotional wellbeing. Sometimes it helps to phrase it that way, not as being safe for her sake, but because everyone else needs her safe.
