All this talk of a blood curse, unrelated to the City's typical magic ... intruiging.

What is the extent of our knowledge of those that have died beyond this world? Something I don't know. Appalling. Something I should have asked sooner - also, appalling. I ask because I've heard that the hospital is in need of ( Read more... )

Apparently, someone saw fit to attack my home.

I am no longer an active member of the English Parliament, but fuck if I'm not pleased about what I'm pretty damn sure was an act of terrorism. I don't see explosions going off in the other apartments in my building.
