Last night the Innkeeper decided I was not the sort of clientele he wanted staying in his establishment. Even after I robbed the gas station to get the money to pay him. You try to play fair with these humans, and what does it get you? We got into it, and it turns out the slayer is a good friend of his, and he took offense at my shooting her. So I ( Read more... )

Why did Roxie speak of a slayer as though it was something to be feared? She went down so quicky, it was ludicrous. Some slayer--she hesitated instead of attacking, giving me my opening. How satisfying to see the pool of blood form under her. Of course, Sunflower--one of them--would have to show up, armed with a weapon deadly to my kind. He was too ( Read more... )

Ugh, every inch of my body feels bruised, and I have small cuts all over my head and arms. If that weren't bad enough, one side of my face is raw from skidding across the pavement. Eva moved so fast that I was out the window before I could even think to teleport.

Dammit, Sunflower must have some sort of a charmed existence. He was right there in ( Read more... )

Eva phoned me yesterday and gave me the address of Joan's party. I am greatly looking forward to it. Both to seeing the charming Eva again, and to finding out what Joan knows about Roxie.

Except that I know that Penn Sunflower is behind it. I learned that he too works at the Bronze, no doubt where he met Roxie. The sweet girl wouldn't have even ( Read more... )

I met the most fascinating human woman the other night, Eva. A very convenient meeting, it turns out, since she knows Joan, the girl that Vince said knew something about what happened to Roxie. We had a nice chat over coffee and she invited me to a party at Joan's this weekend. Perhaps I'll get some answers at last ( Read more... )

I found Vince last night, at the bar where Roxie used to hang. Alone. He says he doesn't know where she is, that some human girl who can shoot electricity from her hands took her somewhere and won't tell him where. Apparently this is the dark-haired woman I'd heard reports of ( Read more... )

So I've been asking around town about Roxie the past few days, and getting some damned weird responses. I'm afraid little sister went nuts or something. I got people saying she hung at this bar called the Bronze a lot, others saying she was working at a place called Minions 'R Us. Roxie? Working for someone else? Yeah, maybe if she took a whole ( Read more... )

I haven't heard from Roxie in a month. When she and Vince first decided to check out the human dimension, she stayed in touch with me pretty regularly. Always enjoyed hearing about her exploits, like when she double crossed that master thief. It sounded like she was making out pretty good, doing the family proud. But last time...I dunno, something ( Read more... )
