Catching Up Again: Part 1

Yeah, I know. I need to post more often.

So I’m standing outside the door when all of the sudden my rampant paranoia kicks into overdrive for no apparent reason. I immediately started looking around for the Rake, thinking I was about to get mauled. Then I hear Eternity yell something, and the next thing I know I’m being attacked by a proxy. She jumped on my back and got me in a chokehold, which I managed to get free of. Then we scuffled some more until Eternity appeared and put an end to it by stabbing Miss Proxy in the arm and then knocking her upside the head.

We then searched the unconscious proxy’s pockets and found a note containing orders, a phone number and an address… (Seriously, who just carries around important information on their person like that? Not the best idea.)

As I looked down at the unconscious proxy, I had a thought. We faked being Runners…so why not fake being proxies?

I smiled and Eternity gave me another strange look.

By the way, Eternity told me to say that she's still alive.

...Legs.

Not much too reportt on my end. During this, I was skipping merrily around the other side of the park, blissfully unaware of the whole ordeal.

Speaking of; what sick bastard went and said “oh hey, you know what would be cool? A forest full of fucking legs! That’ll be fun to walk around in at night!” Why would…why would you even…What sane person comes up with something like that?  No…wait… found him. Wikipedia names him Magdalena Abakanowicz. Is he mentally deranged or something? I mean, come on. Legs? Legs?! He could of at least stuck some arms on there or had them brightly colored, but oh no. Instead, the sadistic son of a bitch decides to have a bunch of half-Mannequins standing around in a park.

But then again I could be overeacting. Fucking cities. Too much noise. I much prefer the country life, away from…everyone. There’s nothing quite like a large concentration of people to remind you how insufferably moronic the human race is, ya know?

Sorry, sorry. I get snippy when I don’t get my full four hours of sleep every night. I hate lions.

I did wake up with some claw marks on my arms four days ago, but I didn’t really have the energy to freak out about it. Or tell Eternity.

Aaannnddd that’s all I feel like talking about right now.

Catching Up

Hmmm… I haven’t posted in a long time, have I? Well I’ve been busy, so shut up. Eternity’s last post was on December 30^th, I believe… Ok, I’ll start there.

Walking. It was fine for the first couple of miles. We even met this awesome farmer guy (seriously, he was awesome), but then it got really cold.

Problem: We had no transportation to that city in Illinois (Chicago), and were afraid to risk anybody’s life for a ride.

Solution: We stole a car! I got it unlocked and Eternity hot-wired it. I’m sure no one will notice. It’s a real clunker. Probably did its owner a favor by getting rid of it for them. Hehehehe.

Three days later we were in Chicago. Ah, Chicago. It’s a pretty nice place, ya know, for a city. With lots of people. And no trees. Or breathing room…buildings everywhere…closing in around me…

This place is horrible. But on the bright side, we’re far less likely to see the Rake running around here. So that’s…comforting. Yeah. Haven’t seen the Rake anywhere for a long time. It’s planning something I just know it…

After we reached Chicago, the trail went cold. We kinda aimlessly wandered the streets after that. My map trick doesn’t work anymore, along with most of my magic, something which I’m extremely confused and slightly pissed about. Also, I’m pretty sure I hadn’t slept in three or so days. Sekhmet is prowling through my dreams in a really alarming way, and Id rather not talk about it, so…

We aimlessly walked the streets for days on end in grim silence, prowling relentlessly through shadow-ridden back allies, hoping against hope that a lead would happen across our path. But alas, none came. And just then, when all hope had begun to fade…epiphany.

…

So I was all like, “Let’s be Runners!” and Eternity gave me a really strange look.
