Filtered to Noah, Serenity, Daria and Ben

[father_peter]

Noah, did you have plans to go out to a cafe with Serenity and...I think it was a Godric tonight? I believe the cafe was called Mariposa? If you do, I need to tell you not to go. You know...please. I have to try to stop something bad from happening there, but in the instance that I don't, it would be best if you weren't anywhere near there.

And I'm sorry for involving you, Daria and Ben. I just thought you wouldn't like to be shut out of something involving Noah.

Yeah, that's Serenity's cafe! And she won't respond here because she's there right now, Peter! Did you call her? Is something bad happening right now? What is it? Fuck!

It's poetry night so we were going to go there. Godric was going to read. Peter, what would have happened?!

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

What I saw didn't happen until dark, though Thomas is calling the cafe now and I'm on my way.

It wasn't Pat, Noah. It's a demon. And most likely, I can stop her.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

Good. Goodgoodgood.

Peter...what about the people there who aren't your nephew and co. What if you don't stop her?

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

That's what we're headed to the cafe to deal with. I hope whomever is in charge will listen to a somehow believable sounding 'you're not safe here tonight' story.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

Serenity's the manager. She's in charge. You won't have to make up a story. Will you tell her to call me?

So, this is just a demon? Not...those Templar people?

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

That is rather an incredible relief.

It's not those Templar people. She's a lone agent.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

How are you going to stop her?! Will she hurt you, Peter? What happens if she hurts you? What did you see in your vision? Did I die?

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

I'll be alright, Noah. This is what I do. And if it goes South, hopefully I can steer her away from other people by presenting a more appealing target. If I do disappear for a few days, try not to worry too much. Someone will have it under control.

The reason I have the visions is so I can stop them. What I saw doesn't necessarily matter as long as you don't set foot in that cafe.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

Uh...okay? How can you be calm about that!?

And I kind of know that makes the answer a big yes. I won't set foot in that cafe if you get my sister out.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

I'm really not. I'm really, really not, but if I panic, it means I won't be able to get this done.

We're almost there, Noah. And I promise I will have her call you.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

I don't actually know if that makes me feel better or worse.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Whatever happens, I will get through it. That's what I have to focus on. If it helps, you can focus on that too.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

I know, I just...I don't want you to be scared. Or hurt. Or whatever. Just be careful.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

I'll be careful. Words are more powerful than we realise. I believe they are all I will need.

[createthemess.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna come over with the kids.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

Okay.

Are you alright?

[createthemess.livejournal.com]

ME? You're the one Peter's having his doom dreams about!

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

But I'm staying put, so I'll be okay. I'm just making sure you're not freaking out.

[createthemess.livejournal.com]

Well Dad is insisting he drive because he thinks I'll drive into the side of a building because maybe i'm freaking a little, i'm really tired.

[hereprophetslie.livejournal.com]

Daria, you don't have to come over. I can come to you.

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Peter, for whatever is it you're doing here to stop this. I'm not really taking it in very well. It's all... rather terrifying.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

And I'm very sorry to have to terrify you. I do hate to do it. I just didn't think you'd want this happening behind your back.

I've spoken to Serenity now. She won't be anywhere near the cafe either, and she's closing it for the night so people will be safe.

This stuff isn't all I am. It just...sometimes it's bigger than the every day stuff and I worry it's all anyone will see.

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

No, thank you. I'm glad to know, even if I still don't really know what it is that I'm knowing. (If that made sense.)

Good. Good. I don't want either of them in danger, or anyone for that matter.

It's good that there's someone to worry about it.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

It did, actually. It really did.

My thoughts exactly.

I suppose that's true. Actually, now that I have a few hours to kill and I'm much calmer... I was wondering if I could ask you to translate something for me. As out of place as that seems... It's a manuscript thing in cuneiform, and I can't read it. Much to my annoyance.

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Oh, cuniform, yes, I can probably have a try at translating it for you. As long is it's post-4th century BCE, as before then the Sumarian language becomes a lot muddier within regions. But afterward the Akkadian and Sumerian are both quite straightforward.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Whatever you just said, it was awesome. I'll bring it by and you can tell me if it's...unmuddy!

Aramaic, Hebrew, Latin and Greek, I can do. This, I cannot do. And I want to see if I can include it in my PhD.

[thatoldgeek.livejournal.com]

Alright, sure. Bring it around some evening and I'll take a look.

[father-peter.livejournal.com]

Will do, Ben. Thank you.
