How many cool guys can one girl meet? In recent days, I've been pretty lucky actually. And pretty unlucky. Either way...
There was a State of Emergency issued for a couple of days. Everyone has conflicting stories about it. I just found it exciting. I really wished that I could meet this Beast of Bayville. And I think I would have too until that jerk, Logan found me out on the street and hauled my ass back home. I don't know why, but I keep meeting up with that guy. It gives me the creeps. It's like he just knows where to find me. Like he's STALKING me or something.
I just totally forgot to write about this last night because my mom was bitching at me when she saw me walking through the front door. She thought that I was upstairs and totally freaked out knowing that I was out on the streets with this State of Emergency crap being shoved in our faces. I don't care what Logan says. I think I could have taken this Beast of Bayville or whatever stupid name they gave him.
I've even seen footage of him. I assume it's a him. There were the shots on T.V. that I think some kid took. I met him at Blockbuster this morning when I went to see what video footage Erik had when the creature attacked the store. Erik looks like he's doing fine. Heard he got hurt or something, Laura mentioned it over the phone. His car was totalled, I can say that much. I hope his insurance covers monster attacks. I think that kid was right though, the one who took the footage at the lookout point, the Bayville Beast was wearing pants. That is soooo freaky!
Today I went over to the mall, to check on things. That's where I met this guy named Nathan. He was there last night when the monster crashed into the mall. He was telling me all of these stories about what happened but I think someone did a number on him because he seemed to have forgotten a LOT. This was his explanation of the people there, that he could sort of remember. I'm adding notation from my conversation with Lorna when she joined with us later:
Big metallic guy - Lorna says she knows him. Didn't offer his name.
Guy with shadowy tentacles - Lorna said his name was Brad, but didn't tell us much more about him. That guy tried to strangle Nathan! And Lorna, like, thinks he's one of the nicest people she's ever met. Something is amiss here.
A hick with a mullet - Lorna says she knows him too. didn't offer his name as well.
A guy with a knife and a trenchcoat - If that doesn't scream Miri, I don't know what else does. It might not be him, but both Nathan and I came to the conclusion that it may be, just by descriptions. That can only mean he's full healed from his fall. Dammit.
Bossy Red Head - No one knows who this is.
A girl named Rachel or Hazel or.. I forget what else Nathan said. Supposedly, he took her home after the incident. He still can't remember her name. I guess it's not so important.
Anyway out of those listed above, Lorna said that she could introduce me to this Brad person. I'm not sure if I want to meet him though. He has tentacles! And he tried to strangle Nathan. Sounds like such a nice guy.
SPEAKING OF NATHAN. He has like the coolest power in the world! He wouldn't tell me what it was but when he touched my hand, I just felt this throbbing sensation all over my body. It felt like what maybe.. and I can't believe I'm writing this... what an orgasm could feel like. Not that I would know. It just felt SOOOOO good and I felt SOOOOO powerful. It was such a strong feeling and it was like my powers were going crazy. I didn't need to *think* to use them, I just *HAD* to use them before I became overwhelmed. I think I may have made some cops sick or something, but really, I don't remember too much about it.
Nathan gave me his number. Which is cool, because I could use someone like him. I wonder how powerful I could be if we worked together.
Also, before I forget, I met Lorna's boyfriend today. Talk about strange. This guy, I think she said his name was Robert. Maybe Roger. I don't quite recally. Sorry Lorna. Anyway, this guy was just sort of freaky. Weird all over. He looked strangely familiar, but I don't think we met. Neither of us could recall who the other was. But I swear, I've seen him before. At first, I thought Lorna was with Scott. I guess this means no more going over to the Institute to bug her ex. Wait. I swore to Logan that I'd go and thank him at the Institute for dragging me back home and missing the Beast of Bayville thing. I bet he doesn't believe that I would, but he said that it was fine, either way.
Right now I am exhausted and I'm going to bed. It's so weird without Pietro around. I have no real purpose to take my walks at night, but sometimes I still find myself doing so.
