IC Journal entry from a few weeks ago
OOC: Yup, I've been lazy. Actually, not so much lazy as insanely trying to get everything I need ready for my move to Japan. So this journal post got tossed by the wayside. But here it is, for those who care.
Just remember, this is an in character entry! No touchy!
Entry 3-29-07
It would appear that I have waited too long to make that meeting with Fulcrum. He has liberated himself from P’s grasp, forcing her to hunt down another to replace him. Or perhaps he traded himself for another. He did, after all, know where they would be, & although he is skilled with manipulating the untrained mind, it would have been much harder to glean that information from one more skilled. Never the less, I know now he has the ability to disguise his appearance, as he was right in front of me and I didn’t know it.
So why bother contacting me at all? Was it just to prove he could? Whatever method he used to escape must have been draining, as I believe it is the reason for my bizarre dream & splitting headache this evening. But I cannot say I felt the ‘connection’ between us at all, even as he stood disguised before me with that note. Exodus did mention that, with his childer, he is able to block the connection at times. I guess it keeps them from feeling him as well.
I stayed practically sequestered in Elysium all evening, talking at length with Exodus, surprisingly enough. He seemed pleased with my decision to try for Preatorian Guard - as much as he can seem emotive, I suppose - and unconcerned with my lack of covenant choice. He is a hard man to read, and it is odd to think of him as Raven’s sire. They are, in appearance, two very different beings; the angel and the monster, two sides of the same coin, perhaps. It seems almost a poetic representation of the inner struggle between The Human and The Beast, except we all know appearances can be deceiving.
Well, on a different note, I now know that I will need to keep a wary eye on Tony Castle. While doing what I thought was the right thing by looking into the arson against his club, I discovered the suspect had been taken into custody, then subsequently beaten to death in the drunk tank. A terrible accident, if it had been one. When I tried to report this to Castle, he was completely unsurprised and even sarcastic, winking at me as he feigned distress over the news. The suspect was obviously used against Castle, but he did not hurt anyone and I seriously doubt he deserved to die. And yet he did die, horribly, and Castle somehow orchestrated it. What am I supposed to do if or when the body winds up on my autopsy table?
There is a strange bond forming between the three ‘youngest of the city’, that being Allan, Amy and myself. It’s odder, even, that we all are of the same clan. I’m not sure what I think of it yet, but I don’t dare call it friendship. Not yet; not until I’m sure. Allan’s offer to teach me his skill of Eidetic Memory could be genuine, or he may just be seeking a way to fulfill his boon to me. I suppose I would be fine with that, if it is something he truly thinks will help me. I’d hate to think I was such a burden, I suppose.
Now I need to contact Rodrigo. I’m sure he’d be interested in my findings at the site of that Gangrel’s abduction. But first I’m going to try contacting P, under the pretense of setting up a meeting with Fulcrum. Not that I’m sure she’ll buy it, but I need details on how he escaped and I don’t want her to assume I helped. After all, if she is as powerful as Exodus believes…
