Of family and obligations.

March 16 Family sucks. My little brother, the arrow, has returned. There is a very large gap between our ages, but that is of no matter. We met up and discussed what he had been doing with his life beyond the letters. We talked about our legacies, and did so in his an acanthus Demance. I will admit, being there felt very very good. I hope to use it should we need a weapon against Death and the other Horsemen. He talked about Mel's "nanabooboo" statement and how Cyrbrus wants an appology, and that the Arrow want a minor boon for the insult of the soul stone. I have taken the boon upon myself, but the appology must come from Mac. Mac has been ousted as leader of the Guardians. If you are not going to show up to do your job, you will not be able to do your job. As such, the position will be taken away. Etrius now has the job, by mutual agreement - and most of us said "not it". And, of course, when I mentioned the Arrow's request with Mac appologizing, the response was part laughter and part ignenation. Someimes, young apprentace, one must swallow pride for the grater good. The sentinel doesn't appreciate how I do my job - which is basically telling people not to be stupid. And if they are stupid, to ask for help. He says I am apparently too loud. My response: when I am loud, you will know... and I will probably need help. Etrius, Sherlock and I took care of the Hunters who have been cleaning up the streets. It was done with diplomacy. That said, I took a very good look at the items that they have. I think I could call those items to me if needed. It was a bit insane - trying to get through their high-tech electronic system (note: Learn Forces, young apprentace. It will make your life easier) without causing undue hardship on anyone (i.e. calling in a favor to shut down the power of the city block would have been a career ended). Eventually, we did manage to get in... but they had cameras on us all the time. It figures. Still, explaining the situation: that we were the group who formed them then lost contact. I thought for sure we would have to "throw down"... and was fairly sure we would loose. I hate to say this about myself, but I am still a lump. Still... it didn't come down to fighting, for which I am greatful. Three promises were made to the Hunters, to help the neighborhood: gaining a dental truck, funding for a child care center, and help with their weapons. The first two can be done, eventually, but I am worried that there is potential abuse for the last. The last thing of note is the meeting I had with Root and (Andy's Character) because we each work at city hall. Appolian joined us. We discussed what each of us could do to improve the city - and some of the air got cleared between Root and Andy's Character. Root won't block (Andy's Character) any more, which is good. It is high time we all get on the same page and work together! I was asked to look into who, what and why, are blocking the Silver Ladder's attempts to move the city forward and change the psychotecture. However, I am having trouble deciding if I will actually do so.
