(1/5) My leg’s almost done healing, I’m able to hobble around at least. Just as long as I don’t put too much pressure on it. Shouldn’t be too long until I can go back (2/5) to the gated off area and keep to those sewers. The need to explore seems to have been sated well enough that I think I’m good for a few months now. (3/5) I’ll just feel better once I go back to my routine and observe the community more. I keep asking myself what I want to do here but the answer (4/5) still alludes me.

My leg's not broken anymore and it's good to feel the outside air again. Two blood packs - feeling like a glutton - later and I'm back where I belong: In the gated zombie pen trying to work on actually killing them without any doubts. When I first started, I didn't kill very many and it took weeks of telling myself it was okay.

But I look at them and I just see you know, me, sort of. We both started out as humans and then we got turned into these things. Maybe the next zombie I kill was a mother and she got bit by another zombie unwillingly. Because that's how the movies show it, a person gets bitten and then they become a zombie, too. Then again, Hollywood ruined what I thought a vampire was so that could be wrong, too.

I wonder if zombies and vampires, the genetics behind it all or whatever, are distantly related. It'd be obvious that ours functioned at a higher level than theirs.

Maybe Keara will know.

Maybe this place isn't all too bad. I see a couple highlights.
Family and a nice game of bumper buddies.

So tonight went from bad to excellent in an oddly short period of time. I saw Alanoth tonight and we talked about his schooling and about me helping him with his poetry, when it comes to that unit. I can be a good audience, I think. From there, we tried to go to the hunting grounds.

I knew a short cut through the woods but we came across one of those fadebeasts. The thing was hideous. Alanoth made me turn back and he managed to kill it, or at least distract it enough and came back but it wounded him pretty bad. I cleaned his wounds and patched him up. I feel so terrible because I was the one that suggested going off into the woods to begin with but he kept trying to keep me from feeling bad.

I don't know how the subject was brought on but I strong armed him to move in with me if I bought in apartment.

.. So I did.

He's almost like a protective older brother to me. I like having him around and it made me kind of sad that he didn't have a place of his own. He slept in one of the corners of the main hall of the Asylum.

Tomorrow, I'm hoping we can talk a decorator into doing something nice for the place and see if we can fit two beds in it.

We'll just see.

Okay, I realized I skipped yesterday but there wasn't much to it.

I called a decorator for the cell, at last minute, I wrote in that we need a rabbit cage. Alanoth and I found a stray rabbit so we decided to keep it. Yet to pick a name, though. I don't even know what gender it is. We'll have to investigate and then choose a name together the next I see of him. I can't wait to see the cell when it's finished, I bet it'll look fantastic.

Today, I spoke with Niklaus.
It was a formal interview (apparently the first one didn't count) for Leviathan. I've been gladly welcomed and will soon find my footing.

Or so I hope.

My sleeping habits are becoming horribly fubar. I knew it was bound to happen, I couldn't keep wanting to sleep most of the night and then be up with the sun. I made a list of things I need to do today.

[] 1. Speak to home decorator about the cell. I want to see where Alanoth and I stand.
[] 2. Find Niklaus and start to get a feel as to what the hell I should be doing with my time.
[] 3. Read up on the events I've missed. I'm fairly certain I missed another movie, which doesn't make me happy.
[] 4. Start to mold a predecessor for the dance studio. I can maintain it from afar but I don't know that I can be there all the time if my sleep keeps coming and going in waves like it has been.
[] 5. Find Alanoth. He left me a note and I should see what's got him all excited.

This is what I have so far. I'll write later and add things after I've completed them.

I stare into the forever night and I travel beyond the fallen stars.
I sink into oblivion's twilight dreams, where my sleeping beauty lies sleeping with the dead.

Forgive my reveries of rapturous days in December, indulge me if I cut a single orchid in your name. Perhaps my senses are a kaleidoscope forever yearning and I am all at once so helpless to dissuade.

His name is Flavian, so he told me. He doesn't speak much more than clipped sentences but he's good company regardless. His face isn't so appealing to look at and I think he noticed the look I gave it.

He's my wraith but I think we both made a lot of people angry tonight. I let him go, saying he could do whatever he likes to make sure he can stay. Apparently, he found his way into homes to drain the energy off other people. I didn't know he would or else I would have specified. I'll need to talk to him tonight to avoid this.

Other than that, Niklaus had me track for people. I found one, a human. At the spur of the moment, I attacked like everyone else was. I kicked him in the head and heard a crack.

I liked it.

I got the call. He's dead.
