Looks like I'm back to normal now, thankfully.

Crazy vampires might be crazy, but they can be pretty damn smart, too. Sometimes.

All in all, it's been a great week.

Pretty damn smart. I might even have to thank him.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Might not be a good idea. He could get a big head.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I'll keep my satisfaction with his work to myself then.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

You can share it with me.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

And here I thought I had been.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't stop you from doing it again.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I'm almost home, do you want me to head to your place instead?

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I know I wouldn't mind the company.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

Give me a few moments, love, I'll pick up a bottle of something on the way.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

If you want. It's not necessary, though.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

It's Friday evening, the first since you've been cured, I think that's worth celebrating a little. [Among other things, but she's not saying that in public.]

While I'm walking, though, might I ask a favor?

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I'm all up for celebrating.

Ask away.

I'm sure you remember Mouse, the young man I was meeting the other day? I offered to help him see if he can control his gift, but it might have some... side effects. Can you keep an eye on me? Make sure my behavior doesn't change?

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

... change how?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I'm still getting information from him, but apparently his ability can be... addicting, I think. It's a little hard to understand him sometimes. But he's a little worried that I'll change, I'll start to need him.

You know me, probably better than anyone else here. If I started to change, you'd be the first to notice.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Addicting how?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I think he can create a narcotic-like effect in people. Like a drug.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

... are you sure it's a good idea, Mara?

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I know my limits, love, but that's why I'm asking you to help. Just in case I don't in this case.

I'm one of the only people in this City that knows exactly what this can do to me. I'm not afraid of it.

I trust you to keep me from going too far.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

... alright.

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

He needs help, there's no one else that has a power that compares to his. I remember being that afraid of one's self.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Mara, I'm sorry, but this worries me.

private

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

You risk yourself all the time for the police, how is this different?

private

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

... I already said alright, Mara. Just... be careful.

private

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

You can be there the entire time if you like. And Mouse is telling one of the doctors he knows, who will also be keeping an eye on things.

private

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I trust you, sweetheart. You'll let me know if anything happens.

private

[cry-reaper.livejournal.com]

I will. But tonight, we celebrate a little.

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

I take it that it worked.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Sure as hell did. I actually yelled at someone earlier and I didn't try to kill them.

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

I can qualify that as a good sign.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Damn straight it is.

[onceaweiss.livejournal.com]

Congratulations, Ken.

[trapdoor-spider.livejournal.com]

All the time.

You're welcome.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

You're insane all the time? Yeah, I can believe that.

[trapdoor-spider.livejournal.com]

Absolutely but the important part that you should be interested in is that I'm a genius all the time.

Feeling any ill effects yet? [The last is said with a bit of a malicious undertone, introducing the idea that there could be ill effects he didn't tell Ken about. There aren't of course but he's playing a game.]

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

Headaches off and on, but that seems to be it.

[trapdoor-spider.livejournal.com]

Very good then. In which case, it's extremely lucky for you that I'm a genius all the time. Those should subside in a day or two.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Good. I'm glad you're doing well now.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

So am I.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

So, you back to work then? I think I still owe you a visit at your desk.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

I'll be back as of Monday.

[heelsandlaw.livejournal.com]

Then I'll come by the next time I'm at the station.

[compels]

Don't tell me this is more crap about the City's lovely day of endless night. Seriously, of all the days to show up ... I thought this Twilight-induced vampire fad was over.

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

There's always crap around here.

Nah, I'm just in a good mood thanks to not being insane anymore.

[compels]

I don't think that's a switch you can turn off.
