More Earthier Than Organic
⚠ <P>Randolf and Mai go to borders, which we find closed. We can see through the window that they are anticipating release of Achadremenos, and we decide to come back early tomorrow evening.
⚠ <P>We meet with the others again at Manfred's bookstore and their trip to find Irving was similarly unsuccessful. They did however find that Irving's house had once again been redecorated. Chaffee, Usuri, and a nosferatu named William were present. Mai learned little of William from JT, aside from the fact that William was another childe of Irving and was there when Jenny and JT awoke from their 7 year sleep.
⚠ <P>Jenny continues to act crazy.
⚠ <P>Some of us decide it would be a good idea, since Jenny is different, to take another sample and test it at the lab. Aiden also suggests that we once again feed Jenny our combined blood to try to cure her of the taint. Jenny opposes taking any more of our blood, but gives us a sampe of hers. Randolf acts all weird about us joining him to the lab, insisting that not everyone can come. Randolf ends up taking Manfred and Mai to his lab.
⚠ <P>Jenny has begun to speak of finding Strauss and going to the cathedral.
⚠ <P>Randolf, Manfred, and Mai find that Jenny's blood has changed and appears "deader". Randolf probably has a more scientific description of what the blood looked like. Unfortunately, even with Randolf's vast expertise in kindred blood testing, and Manfred's awesome abilities, we learn extremely little. Mai begins to doubt the contract can still be in place with this odd blood, and also begins to fear that Achadremenos purposefully altered Jenny's blood because of what it used to be able to do to his blood. Manfred insists the runic symbols are still there, but are distorted. Mai and Randolf begin, eerily in retrospect, to speak of a cure. Mai gives some of her blood which gets consumed by Jenny's rather than destroying the old Malk blood in Jenny's blood. In fact, the two do not appear to be seperate.
⚠ <P>We leave the lab relatively empty handed, Mai now resolute that we must fix it or she must distance herself from the now tainted and crazy Jenny.
⚠ <P>Speak of the devil, Jenny calls Mai and asks to be picked up at a place near the airport because she needs somewhere to sleep. Not wanting to leave her coterie mate to die in the sun, Mai reluctantly retrieves Jenny and Aiden and takes them back to where she will be spending the day. Upon picking Jenny up, Jenny begins to call for Strauss into Mai's back seat. Mai quiets Jenny, now realizing she may be able to assert some control over Jenny's behavior, however opposed to doing so she might be.
⚠ <P>Mai has a decision to make now. Mai would most like to run from Jenny since Jenny is now more a danger than she's ever been, and is insane to boot. However, the contract cannot be broken short of final death, and Mai may be the one to re-train Jenny in manners, civilized behavior, and rationality while keeping a sort of control, as JT suggests. Of course, Mai remembers JT's last suggestion and it does not sit well with her.
⚠ <P> Jenny
⚠ <P>I bid the noble lady, in the language of the nobility, and she fails to understand me. What is up with this city? Anyways, Irvy is not home, but the place is full of 3 people. We get no where, as usual. William the Sabbot Nos is there, along with Ursari and Adians sire.
⚠ <P>People talk, nothing happens. I try to find Strauss, but no luck.
⚠ <P>We head back to the Warlocks Bookstore.
⚠ <P>We meet up with Mai and Needles. They inform that, guess what? No sucess. Borders was closed. I fail to ask them which one they went to, because the one I always go to is always open, and evrybody knows your name...
⚠ <P>Aiden decides she needs to keep an eye on me, so we head out to retrieve my lost purse.
⚠ <P>Instead of looking where ever she had originally found me, we go where all this started, where I went into Topor. Out by the Airport, near an impact crater.
⚠ <P>To my surprise, we actually find my purse! *LOVE*
⚠ <P>I get a bit, or two, to eat, and then I get an idea.
⚠ <P>I call Mai.
⚠ <P>I then hide in some bushes, to see if I CAN step out of my body, and to see what I can see. As usual, its not much, but if this is not still the dream, at least I know I can do it.
⚠ <P>Mai arrives. My plan is ruined, because Strauss is NOT with Mai, like he normallly is. I dejectly get in Mai's car, and head off to destiny, or whatever...

"What a waste of my time... as usual. I don't mind the crawling through the sewers but how 'xactly do ya function when you don't know if what'cha looking to is even there? It just lights my fires."
The only damn good thing that happened was helping Ms. Jenny find her blasted purse (thankfully unskathed). Otherwise the usual talking was circular and unproductive.
