Well, I’m awake. Now what? I’ve put the old computer to some use and amazingly the ancient piece of junk still works. Huzzah. I...am...Job. So, looking over the CrowNet, there’s been some changes around town it seems. ****. It’s gonna take some time re-wrapping my brain around these new politics. I hear whispers of things that don’t make sense. Chips and soldiers keeping vampires in line. What happened to the Masquerade? Are we out now? How’s that work?

I’ve been wandering around the sewers and there are so many untamed young vampires running wild and animalistic down here now. Are we not teaching them the ways anymore? This is both unfortunate for the species and fortuitous for myself. No one to miss them when they’re gone. Shame shame still.

Okay, Bonedancer, time to go and check on your businesses. You got to make some money, already.

PS - Ari’s been back! No decoy this time. Hellooooo, Nurse!

Murder murder paint the town red...
Whether alive or whether undead.
Got toys in my pockets and goals in my head,
Dance Mr Bones and go paint the town red...

Off to the slums we go! Why? Cuz they have meth. Duh. I need some supplies and I’m running low on smokes. Wonder if those douches up in their concrete towers keep any nose candy...will have to check sometime.

Into the club and then into the den!
Punch a gangster in the face and then tweet a pic to his friends!
Get it Mr Bones, grab some smokes and a syringe!
Bing bang bong gonna go out on a binge!

**** this place, man. The slums are boring me already. I need to feel some vibrant life.

You such a vibrant thing!

Oh look. Squirrel!

Went to see the owls today. I like the nest. The nest is comforting, but quiet. I don’t mind the quiet at all, but it’s that kind of quiet where you can tell it’s been quiet a long while. Still....I’ll take the quiet.

Needed to get some supplies and went to visit some factories. Need new batteries still for my implants, didn’t hear the guard come up on me. Got startled and killed the ********. Guess he called the cops, cuz they showed too. I wasn’t about to go to jail. I can’t do another prison right now. So they got taken care of too. Guess the cameras musta caught it cuz I ended up on The List. Sloppy, Bones, sloppy.

The f.... is going on in this town? I’ve been too out of it, I think. Everything’s gone to hell in a hand basket. I thought Pratt was bad...his sympathies seem to have been just a drop in the bucket compared with what’s been done. A fallen Masquerade, government occupation, a plus-up in demifae... and a citywide lockdown? I’ve seen soldiers cataloging vampires. Yeah, I’m not about to be having any of that. I need to find out what’s going on, as Ari can only answer so many questions as she’s been ... absent for a time herself, it seems. The Nest is asleep and so I can think of only one person who might be able to shed some light on things. We should go see the sister. I’ll need to bring some good weed....

It's hard to admit, but I officially have no idea what's happening anymore. This town has gone to hell in a crazy *** sort of way. Ancient mummy queen roaming around the QZ? Some mondo gargantuan beasts, that I'm guessing belong to her, as well. Militia guarding numerous outposts. Soldiers at all the exits and folks checking IDs. I am not about this life. Truth be told, I wasn't about the old life, either, and all that social ********. Best left alone. But how long until these uniforms are poking around down in the sewers and pulling me into some internment camp? Screw all that noise.

I need some supplies, I think. Time to hop on the rails and go see the Gypsy Lady, me thinks. Maybe Ari will go on a ride-along. I'm sure she's not for what's happening around here. Girl gets all wackadoo with peeps up in her space! Cats with guns and vests asking for ID sure as **** aren't gonna be on her My Buddy list.

I've seen a few old faces around as I make my way through the city, busting some rust. Cuz yanno....Mr Bones gotta get jacked, son! But, yeah....alot of changes and need to find what's what. Let's get some clean threads, a bag of the good stuff and go see the Gypsy....
