I suppose that's it, then.

[ Filter: St. Petersburg Angels; Language: Russian ]

Such a pity.

While Alevtyna takes care of Mikhail, I'd like for the rest of us to see to the remaining drawbridges. I expect to see you all there late Sunday evening.

[ Filter: Saint Petersburg Angels / Language: Russian ]

I should have done this much sooner, but there's no point in dwelling on that.

Now, do we have any newcomers since the fall of the Arch?

It's more difficult than I thought it would be to get blood out of hair. I may need to find a better brand of shampoo. And this shirt is a goner, I'm afraid.

Oh well. Less productive than destroying a barrier, but undoubtably more satisfying.

I don't feel so bored anymore.

It was entertaining at first to watch the news chatter on about the bridges that fell, but now they're getting quite repetitive.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to finish the job that someone most graciously started for me. It might give the reporters more to chew on, at least. Someone has to think of the media, after all.

Since the community cannot be used secretively, I think that e-mailing is our next best option. Of course, I can't say for sure how good of a hacker Valentina is, so do not treat this as a particularly secure method of communication.

Some things are fine to transmit over here. I would not mind even planning barrier attacks over this, as it is likely as not that their dreamseer will tell them even should Valentina not find out. However, if any of you feel like declaring the weaknesses of your powers, please do that during a meeting rather than over the computers. :3

That is not to say that I am throwing caution to the wind, of course. Don't keep a copy of any of these e-mails in your inboxes. If you feel a deep need to keep notes, don't keep them online. After all, I get the impression that it would be harder to hack what is not there. Similarly, please do not keep these e-mail addresses in your address books--again, the harder it is for Valentina to track this, the better.

For now, that is all, as it is rather late and it is time for bed, but I wanted to give out the e-mail addresses I have so far collected. Alas, our newest member seems to not have returned to Saint Petersburg yet and therefore I have been unable to collect his e-mail address. When he does, though, perhaps it would be a good idea to begin preparations for another barrier attack.

...On second thought, I have removed Grigori from this e-mail list for the moment. Since he is married to a Seal, odds are that he may check his e-mail while his wife is around to see this. I would be so disappointed to learn that I have to contact you all by phone rather than with the convenience of the Internet.

I am quite impressed at how interested everyone is in my personal life. You all make me feel so special.

This should not change our working habits. As I said earlier in the year, it does not matter if our ultimate goals are different, so long as the manner in which we choose to accomplish them are the same.

By the way, I know you're reading this, Valentina, but I do not particularly care.

i am so sorry

i know that this can't come close to mkaing up for what i've done but this is all i can do

i am so so sorry

I should probably expect a good deal of resistance, judging by how well these Seals respond to barrier attacks. I doubt even I could take all of the Seals at once, so I should prepare for retreat.

How annoying.

It can't be helped.

[ Filter: Saint Petersburg Angels, sans Grigori and Anna; Language: Russian ]

Anna and I shall be attacking a barrier tomorrow. If the Seals do not learn of it beforehand, you will hear about it on the news.

I thought you four might appreciate the advance warning.

[ Filter: Private; Language: Russian ]

...A sniper rifle. Good grief.

I will just have to patch myself up as best as I can. I certainly am not going to let anyone ask questions about how I ended up in a situation where someone shot at me.

However, it is something to keep in mind should Anna feel she needs to be able to help with these attacks, if we can find some way of teaching her how to use a gun. Although if she does not mention it, I'm not going to. Her uses in the bedroom are quite enough for me right now.

In any case, it is time to start tracking down Grigori. I'm not going to bother trying to ask him to meet up with me--high time he learned that I am not to be trifled with. Showing him that my powers over people will allow me to track him down to his apartment should stop him from trying to disappear.

No matter where you go, you will leave a trace in the network of humans that we call a city. It may take me several days, but eventually you will turn up.

Then I will show you that betraying me was a mistake. :)

[ Filter: Saint Petersburg Angels; Language: Russian ]

Congratulations, everyone. We did good work tonight. I'm quite impressed.

Is everyone all right?

[ Filter: the Kamui; Language: English ]

....I'm really not sure how to say this. Maybe it would be easier if I waited until I got over the shock of it. But I think you all deserve more advance warning than I had.

If you haven't heard about the, um, "weaponbirthers" yet, let me know and I'll explain it. I'd rather not have to if everyone else has heard about it, so I'm not going to put one up here.

...And if any of you have had to watch a weaponbirth before now, you have my condolences. It's not an experience I'd want anyone to have to go through.

[ Filter: Saint Petersburg Angels; Language: Russian ]

Well. That was unexpected.

Yesterday I learned that the Kamui are given special weapons from a person designated as a "weaponbirther". This person dies in the process.

Today, I received said weapon.

Just thought I should let you know. Might show up on the news, though I removed the weapon from the scene before other people could connect it to the death.

A couple of notices.

One: I'm scheduling a meeting for Wednesday evening. I hope that as many of you will be able to make it as possible. Unless there are any other offers, I suppose it could be held at my new apartment, although it is a bit smaller than the one I lived in with my parents. [new apartment address].

Two: There will be a new Seal around soon, as I have been informed that Ivan has passed away. At the moment, I am unaware of his or her identity, but it is likely to be one of the people who were already on the community as neutrals.

Thank you.

I don't suppose you would be willing to give me advice on such an activity as bomb-making? Or possibly how I would go about stealing some?

[ Filter: Private; Language: Russian ]

Something of a risk, I think, but I hope it shall work.

Hello. If you don't mind, there's something I'd like to ask you.

[ Filter: Private; Language: Russian ]

...How annoying. I don't like that there are Angels who will not even tell me what they're up to. But, so long as we succeed, there should be no problem.

I need to look up where I'm to meet Alexei tomorrow. It would be unfortunate if I was late. Though I should be careful, even if I may possibly have Alexei fooled. That Kipling is no slouch and would certainly be not against trying a dirty trick.

[ Filter: Saint Petersburg Angels; Language: Russian ]

I have reason to believe that Saint Isaac's Cathedral will be falling sometime soon, though I am currently unaware who is planning this. If you are uninvolved in this particular attack, I would advise that you stay clear unless we hear from the ones preparing this, in case you end up as collateral damage.

Also, I will be meeting with one of the Seals at [insert address of a cafe] tomorrow. I will be as careful as I can and this was planned to be a friendly outing, but I thought that I should let you all know ahead of time.

What the hell is with Grigori? Where did his "Hello, I am a confident bastard. :) Time to blow shit up." act go?

Hmm. Modest and him share the same body, from what I've gathered. Perhaps Modest is attempting to wrest control from Grigori or something? It did sound a bit like Modest...but too confident, actually. Only one "ah". It's more like some kind of combination of the two of them, only with Modest being a little stronger?

...No idea. I'll keep an eye on it, but it's not like Grigori works in a group. I need to concentrate more on the ones who will be fighting alongside me rather than those who might just be working at the same time.

Though I'll need him back whenever we attack a barrier, unless we can find a new way to take the barriers down or someone else finds access to bombs.

Frustrating. At least I'll have Anna to help me relax, particularly if we start doing this regularly.

I apologise that I have ignored this war recently. I was still in shock and mourning over my parents' death. But I can't ignore this forever.

I need to know who is prepared to do this, to be an Angel. I do not wish to pressure anyone into this, mostly because I feel that it would be mean to force someone to take on this heavy task, but partially for practical reasons: this will require people who are willing to be dedicated.

Also, I wish to know who among you who wish to do this will wish to work in a group or alone. I know that there is at least one among you who prefers working alone, which is completely fine. I do hope that any who work alone will be willing to work in concert with the main group whenever such coordination is required, but that is not necessary.

Those who wish to do this, I recommend we have a meeting again soon, likely when Mikhail returns. We need to work on organization.

[ Filter: Inna; Language: Russian ]

I think that I have forgotten to ask you this, though I cannot believe something like this slipped my mind. If you see anything in your dreams that you believe to be important, I hope you will mention it to me, even if you do not completely understand it. It would be a great help.

[ Filter: Private; Language: Russian ]

I believe that I have waited long enough for this.

[ Filter: Anna; Language: Russian ]

I've moved apartments, though I'm still in the same building. I...didn't want to stay in the one my parents died in. I'm now in number 232.

[ Filter: Saint Petersburg Angels except for Grigori/Modest; Language: Russian ]

The Ciniselli Circus was taken down by Grigori and myself.

I meant to mention it before we took it down, but I hope that you will understand that, with recent events, it slipped my mind.

Normally, I would have asked for your help, but since Grigori tends to be something of a loner, I felt that he would be disinclined to work in too large of a group.

[ Filter: Grigori; Language: Russian ]

I must say, I am very impressed at your handiwork. It was a wonderful experience to work with you on this barrier destruction.

[ Filter: Private; Language: Russian ]

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

I wonder if I can do it again sometime? Perhaps later, when she's had time to recover. A bit, at least.

[ Filter: Saint Petersburg Angels; Language: Russian ]

Need someplace to stay for a few nights.

Rather not talk about why. Though I heard it was on the news.

[ Filter: Anna; Language: Russian ]

Sorry I missed our date. I'll try to make it up to you later.

[ Filter: Grigori; Language: Russian ]

This won't get in the way of our barrier attack, never fear. And I can assure you that, even if the Seals get wind of this somehow, we will have one less opponent.
