Val's IC Journal

( Prepping for a Family visit on Tuesday ) 

Oh jesus. Fuck. Could have sworn I just saw someone watching me, reflected in the Switchback’s siding.

Of course, when I looked behind me, no-one was there. I'd noticed the reflection, after looking up from packing away some things in the saddle bags, because I could have sworn I’d heard someone call me by my raven-name. Fuck. Maybe getting a super shiny silver bike wasn't the best idea after all, eh? God. Guy, girl? Couldn't tell, but they were creepy looking. Geeze.

( My poor Motorcycle. :( )

( Back home, out again, and filling mom in on the latest news. )

We burnt the notes with Helios’ fire. Mom cleansed the site and me, just to be on the safe side. We went back home. I showered again. Felt dirty. Eventually. We settled down to dinner. Dad always was a great cook.

Fuck. Why the hell does Beth keep looking at me like that?

So, I moved out to Denton Farm with Brad. Been keeping my head down and staying out of sight.

Well, aside from that one midnight trip out into the city to find Worm, meeting Slug out by Sunrise Road, and that one trip out to Edgewood. Okay, okay, so I haven’t exactly been behaving. But I’ve been TRYING! Fuck. I hate being so out of touch with what is going on!

( Warning Ila that a Storm may be brewing and getting invited to meet the Family... )


I missed a visit from Quin, while I was off talking with Ila. He’d brought by some roadkill venison. Yum! The next morning, Brad and I talked some on the topic of me heading well out of town came up again, this time to the Dakotas. Honestly, that idea is sounding better and better. Camping with Brad, the girls and leaving my troubles behind has a certain siren's lure to it. Spent most of the day helping Brad butcher that roadkilled deer Quin had brought over. I’d never butchered a whole deer before. It was quite the process, but it was good to learn something new, and too keep busy.

Heard about the Lucient Witness. Need to play with that Bauble.

It's good to be back. I've missed just shooting the shit with Nicodemus.
