A positive time for marriage proposals and renewed relationships.Quick Overview
Leaps and bounds of progress are for superheroes, not humans. We can't leap tall buildings or catch bullets in our teeth. We can't solve complex problems like a super sleuth or go back in time.

If you don't offer favours to others, you won't get many in return.Quick Overview
We all have our bad days, so you might need to forgive someone who happens to be going through theirs at this time.

You miss one hundred percent of the shots that you don't take. A fear of failing or getting something wrong will not help you to improve or grow. If you don't try, you may never improve or succeed.

Anger and frustration can cloud our thinking and make it difficult for us to see a way forward or to make sense of a current situation.

You tried to take a giant leap forward before you were truly ready. Don't be surprised that it wasn't completely successful. We all have to learn to walk before we can run.

Spoil yourself a little. You have earned it. But don't go overboard.Quick Overview
In life, we tend to spend a lot of time focusing on getting and having, and less time focusing on giving and being. Life is busy and hectic, and we're all under pressure to do more, get more and achieve more. This is a time, however, when the universe is urging you to focus a little more on giving and being. Being in the moment and enjoying what is happening now is a very important part of our lives. Without it, we would miss many of the joyful things that are right in front of us. If you're too busy looking at the forest, you won't see the trees.Extended Overview
A wonderful career is not enough to give you a wonderful life. It won't automatically give your life meaning. Meaning comes from a range of things; not just your work. Other parts of your life are important; don't neglect them.Career Overview |

Pressure from the outside world, coupled with an uncharacteristic lack of self-belief, may be causing you to feel low or under stress. You have some important decisions to make, and some important work to do, but you can only make things happen if you take control of your emotions and filter out all of the unnecessary negativity that is creating mental anguish and confusion. Place more trust in your intuition, and your own abilities, and seek out the support you need in order to move forward.Extended Overview
Poor grammar and spelling mistakes will bury you under a pile of other failed resumes. Make an effort.Career Overview |
The warmth and fairness of a special person will ease your mind.Quick Overview
The only way to avoid criticism is to do nothing, say nothing and be nothing. But that is no way to live your life. We all need to accept feedback from others; the secret is knowing which feedback is helpful and which is unhelpful. Once you can do that, you can use feedback constructively to move yourself forward and make positive changes.Extended Overview
If you want the trust and loyalty of others, you need to be a great mentor and supporter who leads by example.Career Overview |

Bounty Claim Form
no subject
Who: Allen Walker
Unlogged Bounty Summary: Allen is going to try his usual recklessness with this one, probably going to get hurt, but thankfully cannot bleed because...zombie. Will arrest and bring them in. Might log it if anyone else is interested.
Additional Information: This is personal. How dare one pretend to be a clown.
no subject
Who: Namur, open
Unlogged Bounty Summary: Log possibly forthcoming. Otherwise, Namur will start by interviewing the victims and visiting the scenes of the crimes, hoping to find a common scent he can track. By following her scent, Namur can track the culprit in search of an opportune place to set up an ambush. Then it's only a matter of waiting for the right moment. He'll have a bit harder time than usual pulling this one off, due to being limited by sunlight, but he can follow her as a bat, which will make blending in a lot easier. Vampires have a weakness to fire which Namur will likely be rather upset to learn about, considering he's usually fairly strong against it. But in the end he's a resourceful chap, and dragging someone into the ocean is a great way of preventing them from lighting up. The fire mage will be brought in to the Fayren Bounty Office in the middle of the night, drenched and bedraggled and very arrested.
Additional Information: Gonna need a healer, oops >.>

Re: Bounty Claims!
Who: Trunks Brief
Additional Information: I'm willing to log it out and have others
join in, if they want.
Unlogged summary if needed:
Trunks will start by reading police reports and gathering information, before setting up either a stake-out, or a trap. Trunks will absolutely NOT let another murder happen under his watch for either of these plans. He'll offer the masked-man one chance to explain themselves and come peacefully. If the masked-man doesn't want to come peacefully, he'll move to knock the unconscious and bring him in, preserving what evidence he can. (Using gloves to handle the knife, etc.)

Knowing this, the second's ignorance means that the one in front--the only he can see--certainly isn't black. If it was, he'd know himself to be red.
Thus, the one in front who sees no one's knows his is red.
