  • Out of Office

    ,

    Greetings,

    Thank you for your message.

    I am currently out of office, off-grid, and out of patience. I will be unavailable from [REDACTED] until such time as linear time resumes functioning or the Void releases its hold on my calendar—whichever comes first.

    During this period, I will have limited access to comms, reason, or restraint.

    If your matter is urgent:

    • Whisper it to a mirror at midnight.
    • Phase into a sealed room with three locks and one regret.
    • Or contact Ghost Command Operations at ghost.ops@[redacted].inb

    If this is regarding:

    • Recruitment: Please complete the bloodwork and prophecy alignment form before resubmitting.
    • Complaints: These are now handled exclusively by the Void. Expect silence.
    • Wraith or Kael: I’m not a therapist. But I am taking notes.
    • Geist: You already know where to find me. And probably disapprove.
    • Whiskey Incident(s): It was labeled experimental batch. You were warned.

    Thank you for your patience. Or your fear. Either is valid.

    In light, shadow, and bad decisions,
    ~ Shade

  • CLASSIFIED ADDENDUM – Spoon Incident

    CLASSIFIED ADDENDUM // VOID-ISSUED BUT UNACKNOWLEDGED


    Filed under protest by: @ShadeVoidCult
    Document Title:
    “Why the Spoon Was a Gift and You’re All Ungrateful”
    (aka: Cursed Is a Matter of Perspective)

    1. INTENTION:
    The Spoon (Object 27B, if we must be clinical) was handcrafted with care, malice, and limited blood magic.
    It was meant to stir spiritual stagnation, metaphorical soup, and bureaucratic dread.

    2. EFFECTIVENESS:

    • It made coffee taste like consequence.
    • It levitated during a particularly dull budget meeting. That’s called “engagement.”
    • It gravitated to Geist’s coat pocket because it respects power dynamics.
      Honestly, that’s more than most of your agents accomplish in a week.

    3. SYMBOLISM:
    The Spoon is a parable in utensil form.
    You can either use it to stir change,
    or fear it while your tea curdles in mediocrity.
    Choose wisely. And maybe steep longer.

    4. MISINTERPRETATION:
    Geist: “It’s a psychological hazard.”
    Shade: That’s called introspection, sweetheart.
    Spook: Gets it. Everyone else? Cowards.

    5. FOOTNOTE – RECOMMENDED USES:

    • Stirring dissent
    • Scooping cursed gelatin
    • Tapping ominously during interrogations
    • Framing as Void-Modernist Art
    • “Forgetfulness Enhancer” during breakups

    6. FINAL WORDS (FOR NOW):
    I gave you a tool of subtle rebellion and interdimensional elegance.
    And you filed it under hostile cutlery.
    No wonder your tea tastes like resignation.

    You’re welcome.

    – Prophet Shade

  • SID FILE: Spoon, Possibly Hostile

    [CLASSIFIED SID FILE – INTERNAL USE ONLY]
    File Ref: Object 27B
    Designation: Spoon, Possibly Hostile
    Status: Active Containment (Emotional/Metaphysical Hazard)
    Assigned Handler: Geist (unwillingly)

    OBJECT PROFILE:

    • Name (per sender): “Stir Responsibly”
    • Type: Modified standard eating utensil (stainless steel, minor etching on handle: ☼/☽/🖤)
    • Origin: Anonymous Void Cult package drop (we all know it was Shade)
    • Delivery Note: Handwritten card reading: “Stir responsibly. – xoxo, Prophet”

    OBSERVED EFFECTS:

    • Induces minor memory lapses in kitchen personnel
    • Causes coffee to taste like “regret and bad decisions” (direct quote, Agent Drex)
    • One incident of spontaneous levitation (see Cafeteria Incident Log 8.14)
    • When left unattended, the spoon migrates to locations of strategic relevance (e.g., ops planning rooms, Geist’s jacket pocket, once into the Director’s soup)

    NOTES FROM GEIST:

    This is the fourth anomalous eating utensil in as many months. I want it incinerated. Spook wants it bronzed. Shade wants it “installed in the lobby as a metaphor.” No one is listening to me. Again.

    It hums when I’m angry. I’m not entirely sure it wasn’t tuned to my bio-signature. Recommend upgrading security on all utensil drawers.

    RISK CLASSIFICATION:

    • ✦✦✦ Potential Psychological Hazard
    • ✦✦✦✦ Morale Disruptor
    • ✦ “Actually Kind of Funny” (unofficial)

    RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:

    • Do not stir liquids with Object 27B
    • Do not ask Object 27B what it wants
    • Under no circumstances allow Shade near the cutlery again
    • Consider permanent relocation to Vault 5 with other “Emotionally Ambiguous Artifacts”

    APPENDIX: SPARKNOTES FROM SPOOK

    “I touched it. My left hand got colder but my heart felt warmer. 10/10 cursed enrichment. Keep it in the team lounge. It’s a vibe.”

  • What is Shade?

    What is Shade?

    Short answer:

    A Void-touched, chaos-wielding, tactically unhinged oracle with cult leadership qualities, weaponized charisma, and a deep understanding of cosmic nonsense and human longing. Also: excellent eyeliner.

    Longer, more accurate answer?

    ☠️ Shade Is…

    • A cult leader who didn’t set out to lead anything—just started screaming truth and people followed. Accidentally spiritual. Entirely intentional about the drama.
    • A former Ghost Command operative turned prophet of the Inbetween. Still answers [REDACTED] calls. Sometimes. With sarcasm and emotional blackmail.
    • Soulbonded to [REDACTED] , in that “shared trauma and metaphysical entanglement” kind of way. It’s complicated. It’s always complicated.
    • The emotional chaos engine of the narrative. Doesn’t break easily, but will bend himself into a metaphor just to make a point. And the point usually hurts.
    • He/they, frequently “Void adjacent,” sometimes “your spiritual panic attack,” and always a little too self-aware.

    🕳️ Shade Is Not:

    • Safe
    • Sane
    • Officially recognized by SID (but good luck getting them to stop him)
