Staying Safe At Night

Staying Safe at Night

Nights out with your friends are the best but not everyone who is out at night is looking for a good time. Follow these few tips to get you home safe:

1 - let friends know where you are.

Text, call, or share your location. Never wander off alone!

2 - Stay with a group.

See a few people headed your way? Tag along behind! Walking with others is safer than going it alone. 

3 - Avoid the shadows.

Has a mysterious figure in the darkness offered you eternal life or three wishes? Persuade them to come out into the moonlight where their true form will be revealed. Alternatively, throw millet seeds onto the ground. If the entity is a vampire they will be compelled to pick them up, giving you a chance to make an escape.   

So stay safe, have fun and never enter a flatshare where you are contractually obligated to sign in blood. 

“Now I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals; and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a voice like thunder, ‘Come and see.’” @gloom82 with his interpretation of the ‘Horsemen of the Apocalypse’. The four figures represent conquest, war, famine and death: The four horsemen appear in the ‘Book of Revelation’, also called the ‘Apocalypse of John’, the last book of the New Testament. posted on Instagram - https://instagr.am/p/CSwLAXwo0wL/

The words “mother told me never to pick up strange swords” squirmed just behind his teeth, but the jeers of the other boys clamped his jaw shut ever tighter around that sensible advice. It was a dagger, not a sword, embedded hilt-deep in the roughly snapped-off stump of a lightning-struck tree, at the center of the black and twisted heart, but such distinctions seemed unlikely to help in the event of a quest. He was afraid to be called a coward, somewhat more afraid of a four-on-one fight if he refused, and still more afraid of what came after one closed their hand around a weapon of unusual provenance–something on which his mother had failed to elaborate.

Update 2: The Shadwell Ogre

Situation: an Ogre has occupied the parking lot on Whitechapel road, Shadwell, London. He is demanding tolls and refuses to vacate. Following the breakdown of negotiations the local council sent a champion to deal with the situation. 

Update: the attempts of the council’s champion to slay the Ogre were unsuccessful and parts of Paul Jefferies are now impeding traffic on Whitechapel road. 

The council is now unofficially offering a reward to any mercenary, Knight Errant, itinerant swordsman or other qualified person who might be able to assist with their problem. They would like to stress that they are an equal opportunities employer and all candidates will be considered for the role, regardless of age, gender, race, religion or species. 

Please feel free to contact the council directly, or via this message, to apply.   

How to Cope With Harbingers of Death

From the call of the Screech Owl, a persistent Raven, or a sighting of the Black Dog, portents of death can come in many forms. But for those of us that have seen them the question is “what next?”. It is important to remember that knowing that your end is neigh doesn’t mean that you can’t continue to enjoy life! In many ways impending doom can be a great stress reliver; long-term worries can be set aside, enabling a person to really live for the day without fear of the consequences. 

For those unable to adopt this philosophy, however, help-lines and support groups are available. It should be noted that the support groups have limited availability and run on a ‘first-come-first-served’ basis. Booking spaces in advance is not allowed, for obvious reasons. 

Lophiiform Faerie

Like the luminescent lure of the Anglerfish, a Faerie uses its Glamour to attract prey. Its true form remains concealed until it is far, far too late.
