managed to track down bridget delaney. she’s not happy we’re here, but she can be trusted. she’s giving us a secure place to kip. not particularly happy about that either, but she owed Moody a favour or ten so we're taking advantage.
there's been a shift on the ground. no more active resistance from locals, massive numbers of muggle red cross, americans replaced with United Nations, NATO, etc. but none of them appear to be itching for a fight.
news is difficult to come by. there's a whole lot of rumours, a local wireless station is trying to stay on top of things, and there are notices being posted announcing ‘PEACEKEEPING MISSION: DISASTER RELIEF’, providing directions for accessing food/water/necessities, etc.
bridget said they managed to overthrow the protectorate wizards a few weeks after Crouch left with his haul, and it became clear that backup wasn't arriving. it was a group effort – a core group of irish wizards and IMA in a suicidal attack on the city centre, but a large mob of citizens joined in and made it a rout. a handful of protectorate officials managed to run to ground, and the surviving IMA took over Dublin. apparently, Singh, the Protectorate enforcer in charge, has kept sending out reports as if everything is peachy, sending them from some fideliused bunker he and his friends managed to hole themselves up in. local sentiment towards wizards are decidedly mixed – depends on the county you’re in, who’s related to who, all that. there are a few wizards around Dublin, they’re mostly working with IMA, helping with security. bridget got right hacked off we were able to sneak in.
I’m thinking by now, the statute’s shot to shit, and if the UN is here, the ICW should be too, and so should our people. spread this thing wide open and get to tell our side of things before it gets too far ahead of us. long as we tread carefully. otherwise we’re going to get the same warm welcome the americans got.

Date: 2015-08-12 04:27 am (UTC)I feel like I've lost my bearings and what little patience I have left to me without you around to smooth out the rough bits and talk things over with me at all hours.
I am very much looking forward to your coming back.
