From the Private, Personal Diary of Noelle Frost
Don't have a whole lot of time to sit and write. Been going crazy over in the Shadow Shard working on something big with... just working on something big. That place -- words just don't do it justice, you know? It's just so otherworldy. Like, any other time I've stepped through a portal, it at least still felt like Earth, or some version of it. The Shard -- is not. I flipped out when I first got there. Like, bonkers. Sabrina and ... you know... had to calm me down, or I would have dashed right back through the portal, back to Peregrine, back to Kid.
The comm -- something about the extra special device Mal fixed up for our TF -- it keeps our communication secure within the team, but it's harder to talk to the folks back on Earth. To talk to Kid. I can only hear him when I'm practically standing next to the Portal, so when I got a break from all the running around, taking care of the natives and stuff, checking on yet another evil plot by you know what giant corportation, I figured I'd run back here, take care of a few errands, and hopefully... see Kid. I have to tell him something. Something he deserves to hear.
And well, I picked up a little something for him at the store. Couldn't resist. Hope he likes it.
In other news, when I checked back in here, I found a message from the head of that Alliance/FORCE Project Redemption thing I signed up for. Almost forgot, what with everything going on, but it's a good cause, and I want to be helpful. I'm going to be teamed up with a former criminal, I guess -- no beating around the bush there -- who's working this project as a kind of community service rather than jailtime thing. Partly, I think Reese was in my head when I signed up. Wanting to see someone make good on that whole "reform" thing.
So this Wille guy sent over a whole dossier on the participants and something about this "Handsome Devil" guy just struck me, you know? It maybe because he kinda reminds me of Reese. And it may just be that, for whatever reason, I think I could be useful working with him. I don't know. Ulric didn't think I should do it, didn't think any female should team with the Devil, but partly -- I think I feel if I back down on this thing, if I'm scared of my feelings or whatever, scared I'm not going to be able to handle working with him -- then what good am I as a hero? I told Ulric to go ahead and let the FORCE folks know I was sticking with it, and I guess now I just look forward to meeting this Devil guy. How bad can it be?
And now... oh god, sorry, Diary. Just heard Kid on the comm. Gotta fly. More when this whole thing on the Shard is done. Hopefully soon.
Ciao,
N.
