    <content type="html">I think I've pretty much fallen off of everyone's radar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point, I'm willing to bet I've been entirely forgotten. Well, I do hope I appear in a nightmare of the watcher bitch's from time to time. I doubt I'm even so much as an afterthought to Slayer Number Two (and that is all she will ever be), but I really couldn't give a shit. It's best if I'm not considered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd like to give a big thanks to demonic elemental show for being a further distraction. It's made things that much easier. I've found a nice way in thanks to them. Bravo gentle...whatevers. Then of course, my targets themselves have been distracting themselves WITH themselves. I swear, daytime talk has less drama than these people.</content>

    <content type="html">Thought I went away, didn't you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mmmm, as much as I would like to just wait for wear and tear to catch up with the little harlot, I find it difficult not to look for moments of intervention. I do have ears in many places, you know. Well, once again, at any rate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since that little, em, fiasco, it's taken me some time to rebuild new ways and of course recruit. The tryouts Fred and I had soem time ago were effective for brute force and I am pleased to say the ranks are where I like them to be. However, more specialized services take some looking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's been a good month for me. A very good one so far in so many delicious ways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would appear some young lovers have parted ways. How sad. Well, I for one new it was coming and frankly, so should have the pretty little &lt;a href="http://www.livejournal.com/users/callisto_blue"&gt;thing&lt;/a&gt; she carelessly let slip away. I would imagine there is quite a mental mess at the hotel heartbreak.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmm. Enemies off balance... always a good thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll plot later. Tonight I think I'll see a movie. I'm thinking about the new Terminator movie. I love a good slaughter and the effects are supposed to be nifty.</content>

I'm not really one to take orders, but when this 'person' calls, I've found it generally a good idea to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Met some damn wacky people. There was this one guy... Real trip. Had some really funny ideas about women. I told him with the exception of one special one who I gave something special to, they're all just little happy meals to me. If that dude every shows up here... man, should be fun to watch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It seems I missed some fun things, like Faith torture. I hope pictures were at least taken... preferable in video... hi definition... surround sound...</content>

    <content type="html">The big project is moving along well. Slowly, but I was told to expect that. It's clearly not moving on an immdiate time table. Bob just needs to literally keep his eye on the sky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been spending some time with Conner. I rather like the kid. He shows iniative, he understand things, and he *thinks*.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike Ralph, who's ass I had to kick. Me and Fred come into the minion lounge (happy employees are usually effective) and this idiot has the nerve to start bitching about why we haven't wiped out the Slayer, er, Slayers rather. He's had the sheer audacity to say, 'what can one little girl do?' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fred, being the vicious yet wonderfully clever staked the little dumbass and said 'That.' I think she drove the point home, pun intended.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But don't you worry. I've been talking to Conner... which, my friend, by the way, you should know you are welcome here any time... and we've been talking about some things. One thing at a time. And yes, my boy, cutting that first line is a rather brilliant idea. I think we should go ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such a clever young man.</content>

    <content type="html">I took Conner out for a night on the town. Just us boys.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I figured now would be a good as a time as any to rain some pain on the city in a few little ways seeing how most of the opposition is either not opposition or still out of town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He seemed a little confused on why I kill. I hope I explained it good enough for the kid. Food chain, blah blah blah, and of yes, it just feels good. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will admit, I'm rather fond of the young man. He reminds me of all the right combinations of some people I used to know. He's also very eager to do some damage and that is always a good thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the Slayer and co. get back into town, I promise there will be plenty of that. And then, Conner, we will have a party all just for you.</content>

    <content type="html">Apparently everyone in Sunnydale is insane or on drugs. My theory is that it's forced insanity and its pretty indiscriminate. I don't know the cause and frankly don't give a damn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have other concerns. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My newest associate has some rather lofty goals. I'm a little bit hesitant now that I'm rather deep into it, but there isn't any turning back at this point. I'd rather not have this one pissed off at me. Anyhow, if it all works out, which it likely will... It'll be a brand, bold new world... Well, what's left of it anyhow. Normally I stay away from this sort of thing, but a good case was made and we do have mutal interests.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plus, I really, really want to hurt the bitch. Both of them. I'm just a little fixated on the whole vengeance kick, but I'm going to play this smart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm waiting on word from the associate for the next piece. I'm betting I made need to talk to Gwen again. I'd do that anyhow. I'm growing rather fond of her.</content>

    <content type="html">Things are again moving rather nicely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gwen came through in ways and in such a speed that I confess myself amazed. She is a rather fascinating creature. She also strikes me as Little Miss Eager. I may have more work for her. And soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plan is moving along well. All is going as it should and if it all works out, all our lives will be a hell of a lot simpler... and fun...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next piece of business I expect to go well. It seems half to 3/4 of the white hats are too busy screwing each others brains out. Angel as well. I'm trying not to be jealous. I want my kitten to be happy and when he comes out of whatever the hell everyone's under, I'm hoping some sort of irreversable damage will have been done. At the very least, maybe he'll feel guilty. Or maybe she'll surprise me and kill the twit after she's had her fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I'm going to try to talk to Gwen again tonight. I suspect Fred will be a little preoccupied still.</content>

    <content type="html">We lost Azure apparently. Damn shame. I was just getting to like her. &lt;br /&gt;But something good came out of it at least. Glory is back to her stellar self. I had Bob send over a gift basket and someone for her to brain suck. I hope she likes it. Very tasteful and powerful being. It's always good to have that kind of a friend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of friends, I'm really starting to like Conner. The poor kid has never been to a party. I've promised him once he ices Broody Boy, I'm going to throw one in his honor. Hell, if he manages to whack the black haired little slayer slut or her watcher or even better, her girlfriend, I'll throw one. I really, really am anxious to get along to the pain part of the program, but I need to be patient. It's a virtue. It's kept me alive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've done some contracting and managed to find a nice young lady who's willing to go after this one item I need. Once I get that, the next parts should fall together fairly quickly. As said, this is all about the long term benefits. I need to think about the future, especially since now it has Fred in it.</content>

    <content type="html">&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. I will not pick off friends, family or neighbors of the Hero one at a time. This annoys the Hero and drives him into action. They'll still be there when he is dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. There are thousands of sick people who want to be vampires. Why pick someone who doesn't?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The Hero will come armed with holy water, a cross and a stake. I will come armed with a 5.56 mm assault rifle and grenades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. When biting women to make them slaves, I will bite them in&lt;br /&gt;out-of-the-way locations such as the inside of the thigh, the lower part of the breast or other location not requiring painfully obvious alteration of clothing or ridiculous accessories to conceal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. I will equip my home with a marvelous device called a burglar alarm with an automatic dialer. It will be difficult for the Hero to kill me while under arrest for attempted breaking and entering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. My coffin will be concealed and will be a plain wooden box. The elaborate oak coffin with gold trim resting in the basement will be equipped with claymores designed to shred the body of anyone who opens it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. I will wear a watch and verify what time sunrise is every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. The formal attire with cape will be reserved for special&lt;br /&gt;occasions. Jeans and a t-shirt will be fine for everyday wear as they are less noticeable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. I will not engage in a battle of wits with the Hero. I plan on killing him anyway so what's the point?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. There will be no windows, doors, elevator shafts or air vents accessing my Hidden Lair that have any sort of access to the outside and which sunlight can be directed down using mirrors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. If there must be windows they will be painted over and backed with steel plate so the Hero will face a rude surprise when he throws something through it at sunrise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. When I take the Hero's True Love to make her my concubine and eternal slave I will not show her off to goad the Hero into making an attack. She will be tucked away in a quiet room watched over by my loyal servants until the Hero is dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. I will not transform children. Their bodies will stay the same age forever while their minds grows older and they will become whiny and disobedient.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;14. I will not use bug-eating morons as servants. Pretty females dressed in little French maid outfits are more visually appealing and can also distract the Hero.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;15. While castles and mansions are traditional and have a certain flair, the two bedroom bungalow is less noticeable in suburbia.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;16. My home will not have wooden furniture, the legs of which become sharp, pointed sticks at inopportune moments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;17. My home will have mirrors but they will be located in places such as the bathroom where I am unlikely to be at the same time as the Hero or his friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;18. I will not change into a bat, scuttle up walls, fly or hypnotize people when there might be witnesses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;19. All my concubines will be fully aware that they are not to seduce, attack or even bother visitors staying in the castle unless they have express consent from me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20. The blood in the refrigerator will be stored in a tomato juice container and there will be ordinary food in there for camouflage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;21. I will get a voice coach and change my name. "Hi, I'm Bob," is less suspicious than "I.......am......Dra. ....cu.....la."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;22. I will not associate with vampire theatres, vampire whorehouses and prostitution rings, vampire bars or vampire biker gangs. They attract attention.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;23. I will spend no more than 10 years in any one location and when I move it will be somewhere distant. I will not return to a previous home for a minimum of 80 years. Anyone who previously knew me will either be dead or senile.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;24. I will be able to explain porphyria and why that unfortunate genetic condition is the reason I cannot go out in the sun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25. I will force myself to look concerned and not hungry when someone accidentally cuts himself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;26. A Kevlar vest with a ceramic trauma plate located over the heart is a rather trendy fashion accessory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;27. I will take seriously anyone who approaches me with a water pistol and a confident statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;28. Backpacks and small bags capable of holding sharp pointed wooden sticks will be taken from visitors by a servant at the door. Anyone refusing to part with their accessories will be taken into a side room and shot in the knees, handcuffed and chained to the wall where they will provide lunch for my concubines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;29. Crossbows, spears, arrows and other antique weapons with wood or large blades will be banned from the castle. There is nothing wrong with a fine collection of rifles and handguns.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;30. Before dining out with anyone, I will verify that garlic is not a major spice at that restaurant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;31. All servants, concubines and assorted slaves will be under strict orders not to show excessive devotion to me in public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;32. Servants, concubines and assorted slaves will have a zero-tolerance rule: one mistake and they're dead. I can always create more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;33. When recruiting new blood, so to speak, I will first enslave those who might notice odd behavior in my future concubines. Therefore, I take the teacher at the all-girls school first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;34. All future concubines will be screened and have complete background checks. Those with relatives named Van Helsing will be removed from consideration. The irony is not worth the risk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;35. Nothing says the Hero can't be a cripple or be suffering massive trauma from a shotgun blast before he becomes lunch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;36. I will not personally finish off the Hero. That is what loyal servants, concubines and assorted slaves are for. Besides, the True Love is probably tastier.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;37. All future concubines will be stripped searched for rosaries, crucifixes and garlic before I approach them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;38. All cute but spunky kids in the community who express an interest in the supernatural will be identified and observed for sudden changes in behavior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;39. I will be an upstanding but otherwise undistinguished resident of my community and will make sure that I cultivate enough friends that I will be warned of anyone spreading malicious rumors about me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;40. Since it will be the last thing they would expect, I will hire a Mafia hit team to take out the Hero and his friends. Let's see the crucifix protect them from an Uzi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;41. All villagers will be encouraged to send their children to the schools I will secretly finance. After a few years of modern education they will dismiss the legends told by their grandparents, several of which will undoubtedly be ways to destroy me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;42. I will ignore all attempts to appeal to my former sense of&lt;br /&gt;humanity. I don't have any. That is why it is former.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;43. I will remind myself that I am immortal, not indestructible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;44. All concubines will save the loose, transparent flowing silk dresses for special occasions. I'm a modern sort of guy so I like a woman in leather and Kevlar, which provides more protection so she lasts longer in a fight.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;45. Although firearms are useless against myself and the concubines, they work quite effectively on the Hero and his friends. Therefore all concubines will be armed and taught to shoot. They will use hand and fang in attack only as a last resort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;46. All bodies of former meals will be destroyed in a manner which will make the absence of blood and bite marks impossible to identify.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;47. I will not send bodies or parts thereof of former friends, relatives, mentors or lovers to the Hero in order to demonstrate my complete mastery over life and death.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;48. I will not demonstrate knowledge inappropriate for someone of my apparent age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;49. I will not begin a vendetta against someone who has destroyed a fellow vampire that I was fond of. They have clearly demonstrated they have the ability to destroy me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;50. As cute as the Slayer is, there are other girls just as cute who are not capable of destroying me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;51. More vampires means lower prey ratio: I will carefully consider if I really want more of us running around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;52. All the cutlery in my house will be either stainless steel or plastic. No silver. (Besides, I might accidentally cut myself.) But ideally, the steel will have a special surface that makes it *look* like silver, so the Hero will waste his time trying to stab me with it.</content>

    <content type="html">Bob has been such a great little guy. He's taking a well deserved vacation now. Of course, he is doing a few things, but that's because he is an evilly loyal little bald minion. Probably the best I've ever had as an employee. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why he hasn't tried to magically grow hair on his head, I'll never know. Well, most of the time he's got the damned turban on anyhow. Or the fedora. He's got some sort of hat fetish... Well, I got a torture Watchers Council members fetish, so who am I to talk?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of which, Bob called me from Paris. He has the most interesting of proposals. It's crazy, but I think that's cause there is more risk than usual involved. I think we'll get some good hitters on board. This idea of his is bound to get support. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fred, darling. Shall we wait for him to come back or take a little trip there to hear what he has to say?</content>

    <content type="html">I had a very pretty evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a rare moment. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm really not one to just march right into the lions' den, but I was feeling a bit bold so I decided to pay the Hyperion a visit. I assumed the 'gang' would all be back after than poor, unfortunate incident in Sunnydale. I was even hoping they would have gotten their little Layer back. At the very least I was expecting to see her poor, insane, and brainwashed ass all tied up somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found something even better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I walk in. Yes, that's right. I just walked right in through the front door.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would imagine if it were a television show, this is where they would go to a commercial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I assume they just pulled back into town, whoever was away seeing how they were bags on the floor. And this is where it all gets so strange and so very delightful. While everyone else was either glaring, fondling a concealed weapon, or just in shock, Faith was just looking at me and then looking at everyone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She didn't have a clue as to who I was. Fascinating. And useful. I imagine her little lackeys will be working on this, but I don't imagine they'll have much luck. In fact, maybe I can get Bob to see to it they don't. It depends what's on HBO this week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is just two wonderful. I don't think she even remembers being all evil. So I asked her about it, in my own way? Asking her what she thought she was doing with all these bloody white hats. We all knew what she really was and it was only a matter of time before they realized it and got rid of her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At which point, Ms. Sinclair saw fit to throw a paperweight macaroni duck at me. Missed. Maybe if she'd spend just a little less time on her back she might have better aim. Getting all violent. I just wanted to talk.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But at that point, the concealed weapons were a little less concealed. So I chose that time to exit on my own accord. I tipped my hat to dear Susannah and departed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I'll be back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember that.</content>

    <content type="html">I'm laying low. Probably will for a bit. I am a patient man,though she was never a patient woman. While Elena taught me many things, patience I learned on my own. she taught me the art of pain and torment, I refined the time line. She was spontaneous to a fault... twice. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rolf. Rolf I will truly miss. He was a brother to me and a useful lieutentant. Replacing him will only be in position, never in spirit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Though. There are ways...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've shed my tears. My princess held me while I did. I wonder if there is anything we wouldn't do for each other. I know there is nothing I would deny nor search out for her. Though I know she does not grieve as I am the moment, she's done her best to make me see the things that did work out. In a small sense, it did work out. No matter what the bitch tells herself, she will never truly and fully recover from the blow we dealt. She will carry what happened with her always. The guilt many diminish, but it will always exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As will my sadness.&lt;br /&gt;As will my anger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But those human emotions that i was never able to shed, those ones can be quite... enlightening and quite useful. But they must be taken with patience. They will fester and they will come to a head. All will be held accountable in ways unfathomable. Just wait.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For now, I'm thinking it wise to be somewhere that is else. I see a road trip, but make no mistake, this is not a permanent flight. More like a vacation to recover, relax, and regroup my thoughts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Princess, pick a spot. any spot in the world, and I will take you there.</content>

    <content type="html">See? This is EXACTLY why I don't participate like I did in the old days. There always seems to be a high probabilty of the damn calvary riding in at the last second. This is why I have a preference for assassins who waste no time and don't do stupid things like evening the odds to give the mark a sporting chance. I mean, what the hell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rolf. You're an idiot. Same thing for your girl. If you live to see this, don't either of you coming crying to me about how I didn't ride in to save your asses. I told them it was high risk which is why I didn't go. It's fine and dandy to screw with your enemies, but things like what they pulled always end badly. I hoped for the best for them, but you see how well that worked out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I suppose, I'm going to have to open the floor for applications, though it pains me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bob is pissed too. He feels his talents have been wasted. I concur. He's off watching South Park. It's the only consolation he has, the poor bald bastard. Speaking of which, he's got so much power and he's balding? I'd fix that, but that's just me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I have to reevalute security and crap. Up the usualy motions and a few new tricks while the tensions are high. Not going to get screwed over cause &lt;i&gt;her&lt;/i&gt; pet project went off course and loopy. I thought she was the authority, but no. She was merely a teacher I suppose and I think I've finally surpassed the master. I know better than to take such foolish action. Of course it could and will be argued I do do that... but I do not jump in so blindly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expect silence. Well, except for the princess. Only she shall hear my whispers.</content>

It's never boring with her. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Me and my girl. We had ourselves a time a few nights ago. I showed her what it was to really, truly, terrify someone. I told her it means so much more the longer you can drag it out, but we did the condensed version. I think she had fun. She seemed quite pleased then. I personally saw to it she was even more pleased later.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am very content right now. Don't mistake that for a lack of guard. I am quite aware of my surroundings.

    <content type="html">Betrayal is an ugly thing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I must say certain parties have hurt me quite a bit. I'm not one to linger. If you wish to go, go. You will be missed, but I don't care for games. Well, okay fine, I do, but the same one over and over gets so freaking old. I'm one for creativity. Still, if the interest is no longer there and you simply wish to toy, let us part on a pleasant note. Of if not to part, I wish to know. So many things up in the air, I'd like at least one question settled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking of creativity... Got to love the messages Rolf has been bringing me. Him and our trusted associate have a thing of true beauty in the works. The sudden absence of the white hats have made it that much easier to prepare. Thank you dears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been told there's a quasi new player in town. Darla. I've heard of her. She sounds like a treasure. We truly have to meet my darling. IanReily should you fancy a talk. We could destroy some lovely things together. I know a few places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frost. While it's quiet and there's so little defense... Fancy to be a bit bolder this night? Frost... I do enjoy our time together. We need more of it. And if things progress as I think they might, if you fancy other things...</content>

    <content type="html">To say the past several days have been eventful I think is somewhat an understatement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rolf has been busy. Him and his friend have been stirring up trouble. I found it quite amusing. He brought pictures. A few of them I want to paste up on the damn wall, they came out so good. Feels almost like I was there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, I've been busy making my own fun. Frost has been helping. We've been recreating some of my old games from the 20's in the seedier sides oftown where people are a bit more prone to look the other way. Then other times when venturing out is less than ideal... we ordered in, a more modern bit of fun. I had almost forgotten how much fun the woman was.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fred has expressed a desire to try and make things well again, but now she seems to be going off on these odd tangents again. I wonder. When she talks to certain persons and doubts me, I find myself questioning. Loyalty is quite important to me. When I feel not as... important, I find my own attentions wandering. I am a patient man. But even my patience runs thin. Something to think about I suppose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And as I listen again to rumour, my shaman has told me of my own signs and portents. Things are changing. In the short term, perhaps not so well for me. I've had two now warn me of danger to come. But my man's reach into the future is deeper, but a bit more vague. I stand at a crossroad. He warns of despair and pain not to far. But... but... the long term. The long term holds a great many things of all flavors, some seen and some unseen. That a long term exists I find encouraging. My man has failed me never. Should a famine of good fortune await me, so be it. I know the long term is there, yes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can wait.</content>

    <content type="html">I needed last night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those in the audience who questioned whether or not I am still a 'threat to the area', to quote one, I think I put a rest to that question. Frost as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We played one of my favorite games last night. It's called 'No Surivors'. See, what you do is go into one of the more unsavory districts and throw a rave. Make sure you use a place with only one way in or out. Now it's a risky game cause if trouble comes in, it could be 'no survivors' for you as well... but then the danger is part of the fun. I am a cautious man, but a man has his desires... If you want to be techinical, I'm not really a man, but I can name a few you will argue that matter, but I digress. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ideally, some place where sound doesn't get out easy is preferable. We found one of those places. Anyhow, you get as many dumb kids and partygoers as possible packed in there. Get your own guys in the mix to sniff out trouble and to have some fun. Poor Rolf sticks out like a sore thumb, but looks like a normal bouncer. Get the moveable feast as wasted and doped up as possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then lock them in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd say my dear friend Frost was at her prime. I must say I felt a bit.... conflicted to see such a display. I kind of lost track halfway into the event. I managed to drink up some little 15 year old who had been on, I don't know what, but it felt great! The rest of the night was blurry... but wonderful. From what I can remember, I can say I've not had this much fun in a long time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I imagine the horrible fire in the industrial district didn't come as much of a shock. All those rowdy kids in such a bad place with no fire exits... just asked for trouble...</content>

So while things are quiet, I think perhaps I will hit the town. Oh, now banish the thought. I wouldn't be so stupiod as to go on some random killing spree... well, maybe I would. But believe me when I'd say you'd all piece it together long after the fact with many crucial and small pieces still missing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think perhaps Fred is out with her new friend. I keep insisting the young lady call me Ian. I don't think she's quite comfortable although she's getting there daily. She and Fred are quite the pair. I hope they have fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frost, would you be interested tonight? I'm in the mood for a good kill.</content>
