Summary of Receipt
3311 lets us know that if the Akashic Records were completely burnt down, all the muses would have died and all dreams would stop. They’re also apparently infinite in size, so the O.C. only really burnt down a couple acres of the thing. Apparently it was all ‘esoteric Nephilim stuff’. Still, the angels are pretty mad that they destroyed their stuff. Also, 3311 and Manager used to work for the Indigo Organisations: he used to work in Astoria’s Division November and Jericho used to be part of IRIS. The two of them worked on three cases: ‘The Man Inbetween, The Living Rock, and the Golden Gate Child’. They had a falling out during the last one. Either way, Jericho’s only hope right now is a stalled judgement while the angels deliberate.

Now, this is a right mess, ain't it? If you were to ask me what lengths Jericho and his pals would go to stop Umbra, I don't reckon I would have guessed burn down the whole dang Akashic Record. Now, fair is fair, from what Jericho told me, they didn't burn the whole record down. Shoot, I suppose if'n they did, we'd have noticed right quick. All dreams would have faded away, and all the muses would have died. Well, maybe we wouldn't have noticed for a week or two. Odd thought experiment, ain't it? If everyone in the world stopped dreaming tomorrow, how long would it take for anyone to notice? I'd reckon a few months, if ever. Also, it's a right tall order to burn down an infinite thing.
Though, according to that, there Crystal lady, Jericho, got a good couple of acres of the records up in smoke. Most of it was pretty old esoteric Nephilim stuff. Nothin' I reckon us mortals would care about or notice is missing from our collective psyche. But I know for a damn fact the Angels ain't gonna take this offense lightly. Sure, they'll float up in the Topside for eons letting the world fall apart time and time again. But if you mess with their stuff? Boy, you'd better start runnin'. Though that there is a problem with Angel-folk. You can't outrun them. Me an' Jericho already assume that Divine Judgment is underway and runnin' ain't gonna get them, or us, anywhere.
Now, y'all may or may not know this, but me an' Jericho go way back. We met up back when I was in Division November an' he was still moonlightin' for IRIS. IRIS had him over here in the States on some special cases, what have you. He was pretty high up in the ranks of IRIS, and between you and me, it was pure nepotism. Yes, I reckon he's a talented enough spell caster, but he got that way through mostly "dubious" methods. Methods which I reckon IRIS would frown upon. Now we only officially worked together on three cases: The Man Inbetween, The Living Rock, and the Golden Gate Child. And that last one put a bit of a, well, I reckon you could call it a "divide" between us. We ain't never get along too good since then. I've tried mendin' that fence, but I reckon he ain't in the right place for it. But, shoot, you know Jericho is in a mighty bad place when he's comin' to ME for advice.
Sad thing is, I ain't got no advice to give him. He crossed a line worse than I've ever seen him cross a line. And I've seen that boy run back and forth 'crossed a few dozen hopscotch games. Really, the only thing that he can hope for now is a "stalled judgment." Angels like to take their sweet time with deliberations and what have you. Partially because they ain't mortal. Time is meaningless to them, so Jericho might still have a full life ahead of himself if'n his kidneys don't take him out first. Though we've only got around a week or two before we hit what I like to call the "be not afraid" phase. Y'all better get ready for some Angels to be snoopin' around, askin' questions, and passin' some judgments, I reckon.
