You know, I’m really beginning to like writing in this thing….it’s almost like having someone that you can tell ALL your secrets to….like what the bikini lady did to make Red man mad. I’m DYING to tell someone but Kierun says it would be really dangerous if I did…I don’t want to make the bikini lady mad!

Well, anyway….I still don’t know enough to break into that shop…I’m going crazy wanting to find out what’s in there!!! Since I haven’t been able to do that yet, I decided to check out some rumors that the bloodsucking prince of the city had told his underlings to stay out of part of the city. I was wandering about wondering where I should start when I ran into that guy we met in the pizza place…..Coredump or something like that is his name, I think.

So I got his attention and then regretted doing so ‘cause he was an absolutely boring conversationalist….wouldn’t tell me any secrets at all!!! And he doesn’t keep anything interesting in his wallet…just a few bits of plastic that say things like ‘gold card’ on them….and they aren’t even GOLD (thank Raven for that though….hate the stuff, makes me break out in a rash just to touch it!)

Not only was he boring…he kept following me around!!! He was putting a real cramp in my style….he walks like he has two left feet and they’re attached backwards….he’s clumsy and slow! He accused me of stealing his wallet too..I just wanted to look in it….I would have given it back!!! But it didn’t look like there was anything he would miss in it so I dumped it in the sewer instead….I really don’t know why he got mad at me about it!

So anyways…….he followed me forever and then left to go get his wallet when I smelled something big rotting in an alley near by….Lunch!!! Sadly it just turned out to be a torn off arm and a few chewed pieces of skin and things….no eyeballs at all. I was disappointed but I investigated and found that the arm wasn’t from anything really human…it’s fingers were wrong and a spike that looked poisonous popped out of it!!! It was pretty yucky…why would anyone go and ruin good food that way?!?

I, using my keen instincts, deduced that the killer prolly came and left from a sewer grate at the rear of the alley…I was all set to go down when I realized it was getting dark and this was an expedition I’d prefer to do during the day! I may be buddies with Helios, but it still takes time to ask him to help me out.

Oh, almost forgot…somewhere in there Mr. boring came back…about the only thing he managed to do was keep from throwing up on the body parts. And I thought he was a mage?!?! He can’t even make a simple light! He’s just utterly useless!

I’m going to back to that sewer soon and see what’s up…hopefully I can avoid BlowMash or whatever his name is this time!
