Welcome to Gaia! ::

ran into melany. did not go well.
i spooked her when i did not mean to.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont
i apparently look like whoever is stalking her.
you have looked at the list of names, have you not?
there's one on there that should give pause.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont
it stands to reason that there is a minerva mercer
that is around here and alive right now and she
is not at all the noeh that we know or the other that
we have heard of.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont
... and she is whom melany is afraid of
and worried about and likely her stalker.
i have not found out much about her yet.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont
two names on there. jennifer wells and zhou ming.
these are who pride and pax once were.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont
i don't know if it is noeh or not but she IS
being stalked by someone who resembles me

tab text to: shiloh beaumont
the pax and pride of this world are dead
but minerva is only missing. i am looking into the
missing persons case as she has my last name.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont
i don't want to see her hurt either.
she did not deserve this and she does not deserve
what happens whenever she is triggered.
i am tired of seeing people hurt. far too tired of it.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

they did, it looks like. so far as i know, they were part
of all of this. they helped contribute but died in the process.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

it may be because the original principals are gone.
the triplets have been brought to the forefront.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

i think that melany and ezra may be tied in as well but
have no proof or an idea on where to start to figure it out.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

i am going to go see noeh again. i feel like it's necessary.
she has the most knowledge about the creation of the charter
and possible consequences that we could run into.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

i am similar concerns but we don't really have a choice.
everyone who had a hand in this originally has ulterior
motives *now* and likely want things to go certain ways.
i don't like what we're learning says about her or what
it implies.

A moment later, another text pinged.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

thanks, i nearly snorted my tea. key eyes.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

ezra, for obvious reasons, will not divulge information
about minerva to me. he may be biased if only because
of how much i believe he cares for melany.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

i was actually going to reach out to aleksy, just because
minerva was around now. if anyone knows about it
then it would be him.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

melany revealed one thing: she's my sister.
i assume half-sister, if only due to her eye color.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

what's that saying? too many fingers in the pie?

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

and not enough people that we can reliably
communicate with and hope that the information
we get is actually the whole truth.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

eighteen years younger, possibly a few more due
to world changes. she doesn't look like me but
she doesn't look like my father either but neither
do i. on the other hand, his eyes tend to carry
over.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

she must have spoken with me if she was going by
mercer. or my mother but either way, she would have
needed permission to use the name.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

it shouldn't be a problem because people should
have just talked to each other and said: this doesn't
seem like a good idea and we really don't want you
to try this.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

instead: we are magically locking you and your
husband away and that is going to cage all of us and-

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

considering ezra's tendency to want to be called father
you could find out that melany is your mother and ezra
is-

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

i'll just let that stay smothered.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

on another topic.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

i need to get another look at the charter, to take a
few more pictures of thumbprints. there were some
that couldn't be determined.

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

you got free time?

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

meet me there @ 4pm

tab text to: shiloh beaumont

i will promise to not make any more brain breaking statements.

It was true, Jeremiah did not. Instead he was standing within the Court, waiting for Shiloh, lips pressed into a thin frown because there was, of all things, a broken crown with a veil covering his face. The outfit was dark but his eyes were still visible through the dark lace. There were what looked like teardrop shaped gems at the edges and it put together the entire outfit of black material.

Jeremiah Mercer looked like he was in mourning wear.

He did not like it.

The silver-haired man was not quite sure what he had done to the Court to warrant this outfit other than his own inherent knowledge of his ties to it.

"I do," Jeremiah replied, once he saw Shiloh. "I also have a higher quality camera to take some up close pictures of the fingerprints." A gesture was made for Shiloh to come closer. "We can pop over to my office at home and back. Just say when."
