Strange how things unfold sometimes. That weakness in the boundary lines near the Miracle Hot Springs has me thinking. The rupture must have been a result of Ringan Storm’s defeat. I mean, what else could it be? No earthquakes recently… mm… a blood moon, I guess, but… no, this feels like it was tied to Lucifer herself—or a figment of Lucifer. It’s odd, though, that it cracked all the way over in California. I suppose it makes sense when you think about how much time Lucifer spent there. Boundary lines are peculiar like that—intertwined with the histories of those who cross them.
Though, even with Aplut’s defeat, I can’t help but think there’s something more going on here. That oil gunk on the Nightcrawlers. It’s nothing natural from the Flipside, obviously, but it’s not like it’s something from the Morningstar either. I think there is a connection between it and the Dark though… because that same oil was the blood coursing through Ringan Storm’s artificial veins. Nasty, nasty stuff. I didn’t really mention it because it seemed to be a one-off thing used in her creation. But now it’s showing up elsewhere… and unrelated cryptids are getting coated in the stuff. Not good. My guess is that it must be something that “toymaker” uses to bring fiction to life.
Our 8 reached out to the other 8, and they had a little, well, 8-to-8. As I understand it, she gave us the green light to investigate the strange oil along the coast. As such, Barista and New Guy are going to head out to see what they can uncover thataway. Why would the Dark be pushing outside of Florida? Mm… whatever the reason, we need to put a stop to it, and fast. Though… if they really are messing around in Oregon, I doubt the Astorians can turn their big ol’ Indigo eye forever.
