 		She asked me who I thought was good or bad, I explained that I'm not so sure it's black and white. If A. knows the true name of the shadows, that makes A. more dangerous than the Order. Yet, we don't know either party's intentions at this point. We only know a little of the Order's history.

A clearly is either still affiliated with the Order or he has access to their computer records somehow. The only way he could have gotten our addresses is through that website. Carol is easier to explain, she's more "public" than we are. So either he's some sort of rogue member trying to warn us (which is likely given the content of his messages) or there's something deeper going on we are not yet privy to.

Leaving down for a few days to handle some LAGP business. Hopefully will get to have a bit of fun as well!

Carol and Sam will be staying to hold down the fort here, and represent the LAGP at a few big events in the next few days.

The timing kind of sucks, but you gotta roll with the flow and adapt! See y'all in a few.

Oh, and make sure to stay tuned for a MAJOR announcement in the next few days. Gonna be super nice and we are all extremely excited

Danger is my middle name, but on this trip the scariest thing will be dudes in fancy suits

 		Sounds like he's looking for sponsors/investors for the TV show, he's been hinting about? Anyone following this game, that's planning on going to Comic-Con?

 		The following is a transcription of a text conversation between me and The Occultist... I figured as it gives us a sliver of new information I should probably bother to type it up.

Quote:
Me: Have you decided to leave Carol alone?

Him: You are all in peril.

Me: And you aren't?

Him: I am renommuS dnarG ehT. I am not in danger.

Me: Alright. If I may be permitted to occupy your attention a bit longer, are we in danger from you directly or from forces that you do not control?

Him: As you should have learned, the Umbra escaped the very pits of Hell. They & the knowledge of their very existence is the danger, not I.

Me: I am only being meticulous. But I apologize for asking foolish questions. I just prefer to know what may be trying to kill me.

Him: Believe not the Apostate.

Me: Is there a way to ward off the Umbra if you know of their Existence? Please, I humbly request to learn from you.

Me: ...who is the Apostate? I presume he or she was of the Order once?

Him: You must complete the Initiation process before such secrets shall be revealed.

Him: Yes. A is extremely dangerous with the knowledge she possesses.

Me: Then I shall prove worthy. Thank you for enduring my company. I will ask to trouble you with but one more inquiry and then you shall be rid of me if you wish. Do you know if a man named Lukas who walked a similar path to Carol is ok? I have reason to believe he was being stalked by the Umbra.

Him: Lukas strayed from the path. He is in mortal danger.

Me: ...can he be protected?

Him: We try, but A is in control.

Me: Hm. Well, if I can help, let me know? I kinda owe him. For a while I thought he was you and said some things I shouldn't have that were quite rude when I was angry. Farewell.


So I guess A stands for Apostate then? And it's a She? That's interesting. Well, that's what went down, anyway.

 		Carol did update her blog about the Apostate.
Well, as an apostate A would be a bit of a threat against the Order. Occultist seems to be using her knowledge say she is a threat to us.
I can imagine he wants our help to take down A (and others who desert the Order).

And closely watch our enemies and those without malice who stumble into the realm of arbmU.

Honestly, though, saying "help Lukas" doesn't seem so antagonistic so far. Either way it seems they want our focus back on him for now.

I am still here, although living on buses and staying away from my apartment. I'm virtually homeless now because the shadows chase me from place to place. I am so tired that I sometimes don't know what is a dream (oh horrible dreams!) and what is reality. I want to just lay down and sleep for days.

I lost the paper sigil I carried two days ago. Things have been getting worse sense then. What should I do?


Help! I don't know what to tell him! he's never even RESPONDED to me before. Someone tell me what I should tell him!

 		I got a reply at at about 8:00 EST. I asked if he was okay and mentioned A- but told him I might not consider the Order's warnings entirely truthful.
Lukas wrote:

I may know who A is. There was a woman named Adele who I met a few months ago. She seemed kind and listened to my stories. She seemed to believe them, which I though odd at the time. Could this have been A? Are you saying she is bad? She is the one causing this?


I'm so tired. I sent this to someone else - it sums up my current state of mind:


I haven't been home in days. Keep moving from place to place, sleeping when I can. Sometimes I just ride the buses all night to stay in the light.

I have a constant feeling that I am being followed, that something is lurking right over my shoulder, watching and waiting. And I keep having dreams where I'm walking, then falling from the Bridge. I walk up when this happens, but what if one time I don't? What if one time it is really happening? I'm losing touch with reality sometimes....

I got an email from The Occultist!

Quote:
This ritual may help Lukas remove the Umbra from his immediate surroundings. Its effect do not last very long if They are as strong as I fear.



In the Hours of the Moon, standing within an unbroken Circle of salt, recite the following three times:



Let God the Almighty One enter into this Circle, of a perfect joy, of an abundant charity, and of an eternal salutation. Let all the demons and umbra fly from this place, and let the Angels of Peace assist and protect this Circle, from which let discord and strife depart. Remove from us, O Lord, every adverse power; preserve us from evil and from trouble; grant, O Lord, that we may rest in this place in all safety, through Thee, Who livest and reignest unto the Ages of the Ages.

I hope you sent that to Lukas, it sounds like he could use a good nights sleep.

Yes, send it to him if you haven't. E: apparently you have.
Also, this seems to be an alteration of a prayer found in chapter III of The Key of Solomon Book.
EDIT: Lukas elaborated a little on Adele. Basically he doesn't have a way to contact her, (makes sense if she's hiding) she always bumps into him.
Quote:
I haven't seen Adele in over a month. I ran into her at a coffee place near my apartment in June. Again, maybe I should have thought this was odd...but any familiar face right now is comforting. So the Occultist says she's bad? I'm with you on not knowing who to believe. When I was researching occult activities in Pasadena (what got me into the mess in the first place!), the little I learned about his group seemed to indicate a very powerful and dangerous organization. If Adele left the Order, then they would definitely be very antagonistic towards her. I hope she is okay. BTW, I don't have a way of contacting her. She had always found me.


I see that someone has sent me a prayer to try to stop the shadows for a while. I'm gonna see if I can do this tonight.
