It is written in the Archives that, once upon a time, the gods looked out on a universe barren and unthinking save for themselves. And they tested and experimented until they sparked matter into a form that might, one day, be capable of thought. And Shub-Nigaroth, mother of fear, looked on the first life and said: it will fail, but for now it is good.

"You`re really good at running into danger," she said. She stretched, looked to the line of starlight still jagged across the clouds. The wind, though still gentled by the elders` hold, had picked up again. "But you`re not much for the really crazy gambles that can make the danger interesting."
I thought that danger was too often dull, and crazy gambles rarely considered just how much there was to lose. But that wasn`t the world Audrey had managed to make for herself, during her nineteen years alive and free. Daring, I said, "I`m not mad enough, you mean."027 - RamingoWS1 апреля 2018 г.Читать далее
"Look to the stars," said Ngalthr. "Pray. Confess. Listen to the cosmos, and to each other."
I did as he bade, leaning back in the sand to watch the silver of infinity that we had opened. Cool light spilled through, magnified to visibility as it reflected through the falling snow. Above, hidden, the moon lay crested by sunlight and shadowed by the Earth. Most of the sun`s other worlds lay empty this aeon, but some had once borne life native or invasive, and others would bear it again. Distant suns, too, attended worlds that bore or would bear life, and stranger minds waited at the void`s edge. Darkness and cold would take them all, and the stories of most would not survive their own sun.021 - RamingoWS1 апреля 2018 г.
But there truly are entities that don`t mean humans well -- they don`t mean us harm, either, but their natures are such that they`d need to work hard not to destroy us. They just don`t care. If someone makes a crack, they come through for their own purposes, and the destruction follows.

"Wherever we go," I said, "we`ll all have things waiting for us elsewhere."

Sensing emotion can be used for good or ill. With a little work, one can learn to calm others` fear, share joy, or ease suspicion. For those who aren`t Trumbull that usually requires ritual preparation. Weather contorl, to the degree that it`s possible, is much the same thing -- it just connects the mind with patterns of cloud and wind rather than an actual body. They`re surprisingly similar. And as with emotion, if you push too hard you just end up stumbling.

Magic is about knowing yourself. But sometimes the best way to know yourself is by knowing others, or the world beyond.

"Men don`t think of me that way -- men of the air, I mean. I`m an ugly woman to be ignored, or a monster to be feared." I recalled Jesse`s hand on my cheek. But I suspected he merely had a different opinion of monsters.
"That has its own uses."
"I know. I`ve used it." And would again, doubtless, before our time in Arkham was up.019 - RamingoWS31 марта 2018 г.
He makes me uncomfortable, but he`s working, harder than most ever bother, to be a good person.
