Clingy void

This is not the first or second time Viktor’s been suspected of being a vampire. I think it's the anemia. I think it can be useful, but Viktor’s never gone undercover before, I worry if that is something we go with. Speaking of, I need to make sure he has iron supplements...

Random people you met online be supporting the fuck outta you

Despite the mess awaiting us, it's hard to feel hopeless with a view like this.

Viktor and I have discussed our options tonight. We- I still haven't slept. Either way things go, it'll be good for Viktor to learn glamour magic even if he doesn't follow through with going undercover as a vampire.

I have received a copy of a grimoire containing instruction on magic techniques relevant to PILT mages. It is not quite the same as having a teacher, but I have been practicing glamour magic. Thus far, I can… alter my eye color.

Gerard says I smell like a vampire who has been left to stew in their own casket for five months. Progress? It is rather useful to have a vampire here to confirm whether the glamour is actually working, at least.

What are the chances Gerard is actually able to locate the true crime scene? It's a big city, she can't possibly know exactly where it is.

...that's the third police car to fly by us on our way over.

No... no way, they struck again? Already?

Just wrapped up with the cops and PIIM. Another body, drained of all blood. PIIM showed up minutes after Viktor left, and I'm to report there tomorrow to go over the case. I'm staying as long as I can without garnering suspicion.

I still taste his lip balm.

I'm back at the motel with all of our things. I'm going to be switching to a hotel to keep from being tracked wrong.
