I Live At The North Pole

November 19, 2019

Hey, everyone, it's Adam. I know Nick was supposed to update you all but for reasons, I'm about to explain he is temporarily out of commission. I have seen his posts and for the record, I do not flirt as much as he says I do. Anyway, he's always logged into his account and seeing as how he isn't able to bring you up to speed I figured I should be the one to do it.

I'll begin this, where the last update left off. See, a few hours after Nick posted it he decided that we should go to see if he could meet Duncan in person.

"Good luck. Let me know how it goes. I'll help hold things down here," I told him.

"You're coming with me."

"Aw, why?" I groaned.

 I think that's obvious, your aura reading ability."

"Do I have too? It's nice here and I get to gorge myself on Martha's cookies."

"You can bring some. Plus it'd be a free trip to Europe for you."

"Well, I have been meaning to sightsee. Sorry, I'm just still a little shaken up about the whole Jack possessing me thing but sure I'll help you. It's the least I can do."

"Thanks, and I know how you feel. That gaunt bastard got me good too. We're leaving tomorrow. Be ready."

The next day I was ready to go. I made sure to get a batch of cookies from Martha.

"Got everything you need?" Nick asked me.

"Mmhm," I nodded through a mouthful of cookies.

"Then let's go," He said as he snapped his fingers.

A portal opened up in which we went through.

"They already have their Christmas decorations up?" I asked, looking at the various garland and wreaths that decorated the shops.

"Thanksgiving isn't as big in this part of Europe. As a matter of fact, it isn't even a national holiday which means  they just go right to Christmas."

"So the US isn't the only country who does that then. That gives me comfort for some reason. Anyway, we better get going to Duncan's place. I'm sure he'll love to have some of these cookies."

"Wait."

"What is it?"

"Can you start checking auras? I want to know the emotional state of the people in this area."

"On it," I said, popping another cookie in my mouth.

I then scanned the people in the area. They weren't close enough to hear me and Nick talking.

"I've never seen anything like this before," I murmured.

"What's wrong? Are there a lot of deep red auras around?"

"Not red...Blue and black.."

Nick mentioned in one of his previous posts that each emotion is represented by a certain color. Well, blue is depression and black is fear.

"How many people are you seeing with them?"

"Nearly everyone who walks by. What the hell could be causing them to be like this?"
