I'm Going to be Perfectly Honest

Somebody knows me too damned well.

The insinuation of that person being myself is given credence most significantly by the simple fact that I don't think I've addressed this publicly enough for anyone else to have clued in. I'm still having a hard time buying it. That message is full of a lot of cryptic shit and I have high mind to just fucking ignore it and just assume that someone finally decided to drop a proxy on my ass, but... Fuck.


....

I am absolutely terrified of the next Winter Solstice.

Yeah, sure, nothing much happened during the last one... so what? It's still a date which holds incredible significance to many within the current generation of Runners and ProxiesVictims. One which many seem eager to exploit. And this year? There are way too many events tied into it. I mean, ignoring EVERYTHING that has happened within the last few months involving the Construct or his pals in the Legion of Doom... and you still have that rather foreboding notion that even the unaffected subconsciously worry about. The end of Mayan Calendar... The predicted end of the world. It's This Year. On the Effing SOLSTICE. That's when it's supposed to happen.

With that in mind, NOW look around at recent Construct-related activities. The conversation between Messenger and Dr Cairo on New Years Eve, in which Cairo discovers an ominous countdown playing during the balldrop which, according to his math, would reach zero on the Solstice. Nicky Sage has made more than a few insinuations that the weakening "Veil" is predicted to collapse sometime this year. The overshadowing hand of the Overseer's Project Destiny, which grows closer to fulfillment by the day, suggests that we are moving ever closer to annihilation via means of The Quiet's arrival. And of all things, a man who once threatened to bring about the Apocalypse has recently been brought back to the forefront. Sure, it's not the same Redlight as before, but the new model seems just as fucking intent, IF NOT MORE SO, on burning it all down. And I'll just glance over the fact that whatever remains of old Red's "apocalypse juice" is still unaccounted for.

And that's just the few signs that I've managed to take note of and could actually remember while trying to write this out! There have been signs of some kind (be they subtle or fuck obvious) of terrible shit like this cropping up everywhere. And all of them point towards the Solstice. Something is going to come to a head on that date... and End of the World or no, I don't think anything will be the same afterwards.

Change is coming.
Change has been coming for quite some time.
And I don't think that ANY OF US are ready for it.

And this shit? This shit the other day?? That is NOT fucking helping my outlook on things!


Edit: Oh for fucks sake, that message is still at the top of the blog! I'm changing the effing date on it! I'm not dealing with this being in my face every time I open the blog!
