This old wizard has been a beacon of hope to the helpless and a constant source of fear to the dishonorable.  He has become the easiest reference to point to when schooling neonates on the Silence of Blood.  A friend to me when I had none and an example of honor when I wanted to burn it all down.  Allah guides his path.  The peace between our people will endure. --[[Faqirah]]

"Father... You are the light. The greatest of lights. In you even I feel the Divine at work. Through you I can once more feel his love and forgiveness. Forgiveness... Such a powerful word for one such as I. You are a treasure and you must survive at all costs. You must continue to be what you are and no sacrifice is too great. I will lay down my life and even my eternal soul for you. You represent something far greater than I will ever be. You represent hope for this world. You must stop pushing others away. You need to bring others into your fold. Teach them your ways. Teach them the beauty of the God that lives within Man. Maybe then Light can truly return to Darkness." -Unnamed Fallen Angel

Leila isn't budging this time. "Of -course- I wasn't joking. One of these days, you're going to be out fighting vampires, and your pants are going to just disintegrate around you, and then you're going to feel silly, slaying vampires with no pants on."

Cross stared at her, "Lass, I've killed more o' them then I care to count in varying states o' naked, many times without pants, or with pants around my ankles. It ain't a fault o' the pants, they do what they can. And they are tied on damn good. I don't need new pants.'  [[Leila]]

"As for that other point, I can't rightly say as it bothers me one way or another. I refer to him as that out of respect for his age and his greater knowledge. What the Church would call him or a member of any other fringe faith matters very little to me." - [[Gwydion]]

Leila smiles. "If you ever want to learn to use a light sword so it'll look cool, I'd be happy to teach you want I know. Father Cross is better than I am, though. By a lot." She shifts her gaze to the sleeping old man. "... I've always had a problem with people saying that he's just starting out as a willworker, that he's brand new to it. He's not. He did... what's it called? The other kind of magic. Static magic? -- He did it for decades." She looks back at Horace. "Someone who's just starting out is diving in the ocean, barely knowing how to swim and hoping they don't get eaten. Father Cross has been swimming in a vast, dark, deep lake that's full of monsters for something like half a century. When he dives into the ocean, a lot of those skills have got to transfer over. Not just the lore or the experience.  The mental discipline." [[Leila]]

"Oh no. Look what I've done. There are 144 episodes of this show. If you watch even one more, you will be hopelessly hooked forever and you'll be doing the sing along and before you know it, you'll be watching Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog and crushing on Felicia Day. It will TOTALLY happen." [[Typhanie]]

Leila lays beside him on the soft grass, gazing up through the clear night at the stars overhead. "... You make it special. You made it so green and vibrant. And safe. And then you took several blocks in the worst part of town and made them green, and vibrant, and safe, too. I feel like... Like it flows from you, like a spring. Like in a few years, this whole run down neighborhood will be one giant park. And rich children and poor children will all be able to play there together."  The warm breeze that blows through the May night dries the tears from her face. "While the shapeshifters hide in the forest and talk about holding the line, you walked into one of the bleakest places in the city, and you made the world right again." [[Leila]]

"Life is not so important when forced to choose between life and integrity."

Nature: Autist


♦ Silent Samurai- "Unknown to most, but to the few he has revealed himself to, or seen him in Chinatown while practicing, Kusunoki is known as a practitioner of Bushido, the way of the samurai. However, he is often quiet on the subject, or quiet altogether."

♦ Akashic Brotherhood "Members of the Brotherhood, including students, may recognize Kusunoki as a member of the Tenshi Arashi Ryu, the Japanese sect of the Vajrapani, the warriors and protectors of the Brotherhood and Buddhism."

♦ Chinatown- "Kusunoki spends most of his time in Chinatown among the common people. Shen may recognize him as a Lightning Person, but he has not involved himself directly in their courts or politics."



Thoughts


The Others

Vampire♦ Kindred "Western Shen are so strange. Why control the night if you cannot revel in it? Illusions stand between Ascension and humanity, but at least they do not feast on delusions.""

Werewolf♦ Garou "Your cause is wise, but you are not. Your enemy has defeated you with both arms clasped behind his back, blindfolded and gagged. Regardless, I will aid you, if you allow it."

Gaian♦ Gaians "A worthy cause, but not one, sadly, that I am invited to join in."

Wyrm♦ Wyrm "Necessity that has been warped by the reactions of fools and humanity. Unbind it, and the world will end. Leave it bound, and the world will end. The Sixth Age is inevitable; the Wheel must turn. I only hope I will cut through the illusion of Samsara before it begins."

Wraith♦ Wraiths "In the East, Ancestors are honored. Here, they are mocked and rise. It is no mystery why. I will help you find balance, if you ask for my aid."

Mortal♦ Mortals "Lazy. Foolish. You have rejected what we have shown you time and time again. Eat you friend food and watch your televisions - you will be left behind, having squandered All, and will die in the maw of karma."

Changeling♦ Changeling "Dreams are an illusion. Cut past them to truth."

Demon♦ Demon "Servants of Yomi are no friends of mine. Allies... possibly, but I have no interest in your words."


Mage♦ Mage "Do not settle for distractions. Acension is all that matters."


Mage♦ Traditions "The ashy remnants of what was once the hope of mankind. Let us hope new life can be found amid the coals."


Mage♦ Technocracy "You cling to the offspring of invention as though it were your lifeblood, but all you will find is illusions. The path forward is not through technology and science - it is through yourself."


Mage♦ Orphans "I have no use for you. Discipline your body, and then I may show you how to discipline the mind."


My Friends


♦ No One "Placeholder."


The Fallen

♦ Andrea "Placeholder."
