Gabriel Stone Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Friends, and fellow novas,I, Gabriel Law, cordially invite you to spread some holiday cheer with me this coming Christmas Eve. I’ll be joining the staff of the Department of Pediatrics at Weill Medical College of Cornell University in Manhattan, New York on Christmas Eve to spend time with children who are terminally ill.I invite all of you that have the time to spare. This is not about being a nova, or a baseline, or a matter of religious of philosophical beliefs. This is an opportunity for us, not as novas, but as people willing to take time from their busy lives and put personal differences aside for the sake of a child who Fate has dealt a poor hand.Thank you all for your time, both in reading this and your possible attendance.Sincerely,Gabriel M. Law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittie Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I couldn't think of a better way to spend the holiday. If I can make it, count me in! ...You don't think I'd be a hygiene hazard, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Stone Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 Certainly not Kittie, unless one of them is allergic to sweet, selfess, and beautiful. Thank you for attending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittie Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Mr. Law, you know exactly what to say to make a girl melt. That's very sweet of you, but I hope you know I'd do it even if your fabulous self wasn't involved. I've been moping around for way too long... This'll be a good chance to feel like a person again. Thanks for arranging something like this. Really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Stone Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 I didn't do it all myself. One of the nurses there intercepted a letter to Santa. In this letter one of the patients asked to meet real novas and to spend Christmas feeling extraordinary, like us.It was turned over to me, and I simply cannot refuse a sincere request to make new friends.

Fade Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 This is a pretty cool thing to do. Somebody said, rich people throwing money at shit is worth a lot less than rich people throwing money at shit and DOING shit. Something like that. I paraphrase.Anyway, I'll be there.

Dustbin Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 In my country, over half the children die before 5 years. We celebrate a child that lives. We accept death when it comes. Life and death are the same. Be happy so few of your children die every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean it isn't tragic when 20 kids are killed in a school shooting.A tragedy is still a tragedy, hold it up to as many apocalypses as you like.And Gabe, I like the idea, but I got a prior engagement and I'm not sure how many plane tickets I can afford.

Ravenshire Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 It looks like I'm going to have a problem coming. The hospital and I had a disagreement and I'm not welcome. I'm clearing this up, but I'm not holding out hope for getting this handled in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittie Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Er, how did you have a disagreement with a hospital that would make you unwelcome? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenshire Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I was a "Person of Interest" in a police case earlier this year, so the Chief of Admin. asked me not to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittie Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Well, I can't think of any reason why the hospital would know that sort of thing, or would even care, unless it was public knowledge, and involved a child. Unless... Oh.Oh.Well, I suppose that's something you'll have to live with. Shame you won't be there, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenshire Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 It has more to do with her now being a wanted fugitive cult leader who blew the roof off a club in Chicago, but yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittie Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Wouldn't that be a reason for her not to be welcome? Unless you were involved in that, too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenshire Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I don't much understand their reasoning either, but there it is. I imagine they are worried about what might happen if she does show up, though I seriously doubt she would be so public right now. Its their right to rather be safe than sorry.

Kittie Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Yeah... Sorry. It just sounds shady to me. But, whatever. Keep your sketchy dealings away from the kids, and it'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenshire Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I almost wish it was something I had done then I could apologize for it and make amends. No such luck so far, but I'll keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravenshire Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I'm finally meeting with the guy at the FBI who put me on their "Watch List" and I'm hoping I can straighten things out. Wish me luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Solstice Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Once a sex offender, always a sex offender. Now that the FBI knows you have a taste for underage girls (consenting or otherwise) you'll never be off thier list, regardless of what they actually tell you.I know you claim it was a consentual relationship, and while my sister and I prefer older men, that doesn't neseccerily make it publically acceptable. To each thier own Ravenshire, but if your willing to listen accept some advice:1. Next time find a more emotionally stable girl who was raised better.2. Keep your personal life off the OpNet. I've read the posts and for crying out loud it's like you two didn't have OpPhones you could use to call and argue. It seems you were just as immature as she was.At any rate, good luck, we hope it works out well for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenshire Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I let a girl alone in NYC stay at my place for one night. SVU investigated. No charges were ever filed. Jeesh.Thanks for the advice, but quite frankly I'm not looking for another relationship right now. As well as the last one turned out, I consider myself rather burned.

Jaunt Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Aside from the 'molesting underage girls' part, I think you guys are really for doing this. Let me know if it hits the news, I'm trying to save up clippings of all the good stuff novas do so when my dad tried to 'drill the facts' into me I have some ammo in my camp.

Bellator Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Sorry I've been gone so long folks, but I've been busy. Anyway, I'd like to jump on this bandwagon, too. If the hospital had a chimney, even a fake one, I could even appear there dressed as Santa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
