>>>>>[I'm afraid you're wrong, Irish. Raven is dead.
Drake didn't miss, on the roof. We got her on board and headed for a
hospital, but she didn't make it. She already had a broken arm, and was shot at
least three times while in Dante's place; twice by Claw while he was posessed,
and once by the police sniper. There was just too much trauma for rudimentary
first aid to deal with, and I never learned healing magick.
We're still in Chicago, trying to decide what to do next. The dropship
was damaged by return fire from Intrpol and Eagle Security, so we aren't going
anywhere soon in any case. In the meantime, we've made arrangements to have
Raven's body shipped home to Japan. I'm told she does have family there, and
they'll see to whatever arrangements are proper.
As for myself, I ask the forgiveness of all my friends for my sudden
disappearence from the shadow community. It was not Dante's doing, as some
feared; I was once again called to Tara, and the summons was one I could not
ignore. I feel that my wyrd is upon me, and although I don't think I will ever
be recalled to Tara again, I also doubt I will be returning here. So I guess
this is goodbye. I want to thank everyone, but especially Spirit, Circuit
Breaker, Cerise, Brandywine, and the others who dragged me, kicking and
screaming *smile*, on the Girl's Night Out last year. My life was very...
bleak, before that night. And frau Doom, you have all my hope and sympathy.
It was a lovely waltz...
Commander Drake: Raven made me swear an oath to leave you alone. You have
nothing to fear from me or my clan. Go in peace.
Goodbye everyone.]<<<<<
