Well. That was probably not a great idea. I mean, we’ve had some pretty bad ideas these past few months, but I think this one might just take the cake. Eh, whatever, though, what’s done is done. Though speaking of what’s done, well, I guess it’s not done just yet. Getting the Grimoire is one thing. Keeping it safe from the Dark? That’s a different problem entirely. And we aren’t even the only ones after this ratty old thing. From what I’ve heard through the grapevine, or coffevine, or whatever is atmospheric enough, A23 wants it too. Not just A23, Division Alpha. Astrid. Big problem. Though perhaps even a slightly bigger problem than Astrid, the Courts also want it. Well, want it back. Technically it was in their quasi-possession in the first place.
Turns out the Grimoire is what the higher-ups like to call a... crap. I forgot. Something important. Divine... uh... no, it can’t just be Divine Artifact. That’s a bit too straightforward. Is it Holy? No... uh... Well, regardless of terminology, it’s important. It can do things. Terrible things. This isn’t your average fanfic, is what I’m trying to get at here. This is actually the third “Holy Artifact” we’ve come across at this point. First the Scepter of Solomon, then Mechanism, and now the Grimoire. Really what I’m getting at is we should be compensated for keeping these things out of the Dark’s possession. I mean, honestly, the Court could do a better job here.
Of course, the Scepter vanished after it was used, and the Mechanism is... more complicated but more or less useless without the other pieces... but the Grimoire is a bit more of a tangible threat at the moment. It won’t just vanish. And if Astrid gets it, who knows what she’ll do with it. If the Dark get it, well, I’m pretty sure they’ll use it to get the Enochian Bible somehow. And if the Court catches up to us, well, we’ll be in, I guess, pretty serious trouble. And that’s why I think it might be a good idea to perhaps shift the blame elsewhere. Besides, from what we’ve heard, the other Cafe just finished up a major order of their own. They’re probably bored to death. So perhaps this could be a fun new challenge for them. Besides, we need to get this thing as far away from Umbra as we possibly can right now. We can figure out the specifics later.
