Planting the Seed

Hey Kass!
 
Nice work on our little birdie! I honestly thought you’d go for the “human” pictogram, but combining “sun” and “blood” makes so much sense! Though it seems like you didn’t quite get through to her with the Oath of Lilith. Maybe I’m expecting too much for just a few nights, but I hoped she’d at least be able to recite a single line in such a short time… guess I was wrong. Buuuuut since she is our permanent guest she’ll probably see reason one day, we just have to break her spirit and will sufficiently. And she’s got plenty of both for now, that much is obvious. I just hope we manage to capture her son, because that will make our project ten times easier, at least!
Alas it seems like he and his “child Inquisition” seem to be holed up still and we’re still looking for a good approach. I really need to get around and ask Heather if she can finally get us some drones, so that we can play around with those and be useful from a distance. They’re totally silent today, aren’t they? Oh the marvels of human intuition!
Well either you or me (depending on who’s out at the time) should ask her once we got her son here and took care of him. If those stupid mortal doctors don’t know how to help him I’m sure either of us or someone we know may know a trick or two! At least that’s what I hope, because if not then… I don’t know. Lilith surely will comfort her in her hour of grief.
 
But let’s not talk about eventualities! Instead I have two new projects I want to share with you! Two long term ones (as you probably expected already) in fact.
 
Firstly: I think it’s high time that we start making contact with other Bahari gardens and cells. Our disunity is not getting us anywhere and I’d rather start an open dialogue with our siblings in faith. I guess having dealt with the Giovanni so much recently somehow put the idea of their “family gathering” or whatever it was called into my head and got me wondering… if something like that couldn’t be done for us? But instead of uniting into a clan, we unite into the Bahari as a whole (“New World Bahari”, “Novus Bahari” or whatever you want to call that), if that makes sense for you. We care not from which “kindred” clan you’re from (we’re gonna get rid of that term, by the way, as you’re either a Lakha or not) after all, only that you live your nights in devotion to the night mother. We should set our sights to maybe one day imitate Budapest. We really need something like that Garden here in the US. It would be quite the statement I think when we show that the Bahari also operate successfully here and not only in the old world. I know, I know it does sound like quite the impossible task and I’m aware that it’s almost certainly gonna fail. BUT I still want to try. Even a tiny success could be wonderful to future Bahari operations in the region!
We may not have our own Budapest here, but maybe one day if we work hard towards it. At least that’s my dream! :)
 
Secondly: We have been rather… slacking in regards to our job recently, which isn’t to say that we’re to blame. (at least not entirely to blame) We just have become so busy with other work that our time has been spent in better places. And I have a feeling that we’ll be even more busy over the coming weeks, months and years! (I still have set my eyes about joining the circulatory system one day, put that on top of the pile, will ya?)
But yeah I think that we should get a substitute for us in our praxis. Obviously someone else who is dedicated to the Bahari faith. Since we don’t really need the income from that anymore they could just send us any promising people who could turn out to be good Bahari if spoken the right words to. We have been bleeding our numbers the past months with barely any newcomers. So yeah basically find someone to fill our therapist role and get (hopefully) new siblings in faith that way.
Maybe we should also increase our scouting efforts in general. Find some amongst our followers who have a discerning eye for that and send them out to find fitting people within this city and outlying areas as well! Not everyone who hits rock bottom seeks therapy after all, so having a few eyes on the ground may also be something worth considering.
 
Aaand that’s the gist of my two ideas. What do you think? Something worth chasing or delusional dreams? Even if it’s the latter I’d rather try dying than not at all.
The backdraw of being ambitious to a fault, eh?
 
 
Well I should get back to it. The others are waiting for me in the city, so I’ll hear from you soon, sister!
