#10 What is this?
Nov. 7th, 2013 07:17 pmI'm not sure how to classify this. I had received a call from one of the priests at the church. He found out that I am Dante's brother through the rumor mill. He asked me, I mind you this is strange even for me, that I would assist him in an exorcism. Why ask me?
I had just settled a date with Cindy and if I have to call her to cancel because of this messy business, I may not hear the end of it. We have planned this date for nearly a week and I was looking forward to it.
Pegasus had helped me with some much needed shopping for clothes and I was actually looking forward to wearing my new long coat, vest and ascot.
Work had to be done so I had confirmed that I would be there.
Of course Cindy wasn't too thrilled with it but she agreed to pick me up at the cathedral once the task was completed. The only other reason she agreed to it was the pay. Apparently, some demon was feasting on children's dreams that rendered them mindless and they would later die.
Being a father myself, I couldn't allow this to continue. Children dying creates a problem that irritates me. The demon was easy enough to subdue. Thankfully, it didn't consume enough dreams to grow any more than it had.
The date went fine, though there was the chance I had misstep. She took great care to correct me. I think she enjoys it. I allow her to.
Out of curiosity, I had checked my account. Technically, there was no body to find and no death certificate was released, the bank held on to the sizable trust fund that I had before I had faced Dante through my foster parents. It had 14 years to grow.
Upon my relief, and my surprise, the 400,000 I had in there grew substantially over the years at a 3% interest rate standard. It left me a grand total of over 2 million. It was only supposed to mature over the course of ten years to pay for college and related expenses. The bank seemed happy to hear from me. I had to make the trip to prove my identity before they could discuss anything further. Much to the financial officer's surprise, I hadn't aged a day in my supposed 32 years of life. I told him that I keep to a strict diet and left it at that. It wasn't a lie. Just not the entire truth.
Since the bank was out of town, Cindy had to drive me. She was as shocked as I was only she showed it more than I did. I was able to pay her back for her kindness and she wouldn't have any of it.
We went dancing that night in the club in Blakerton. I stayed away from drinking. It does terrible things to me and I don't have the tolerance that I used to. I did have one rum and coke, which was good, but a bit strong. It was in Cindy's nature to talk to people and some had gotten the wrong idea about her. I had to step in to change their minds. I said no words, I simply walked over and kissed her then after the kiss, I shot them a glare. Needless to say, they didn't stick around. She was a bit upset at me for doing that, but I saw no reason to speak to drunks when my words would have fallen on deaf ears.
Neither of us were prepared for the trip back. Her tire had blown out and I had no idea how to change it. We had to call a truck to help us. It's just one more thing to add to my list of things to learn. I'm banned from Cindy's kitchen for the same reason.

#9 A Pill to Make You Numb...
Nov. 7th, 2013 07:04 pmThis song spoke to me.
"Coma White" by Marilyn Manson
There's something cold and blank behind her smile
She's standing on an overpass
In her miracle mile
"You were from a perfect world
A world that threw me away today
Today to run away"
A pill to make you numb
A pill to make you dumb
A pill to make you anybody else
But all the drugs in this world
Won't save her from herself
Her mouth was an empty cut
And she was waiting to fall
Just bleeding like a polaroid that
Lost all her dolls
I don't know why, but I had to write it down. I wonder if people are just that blank at times.

Well, this is a switch. Cindy met me at the market while I was picking up a few things for the office. Namely, pens kept disappearing. We seem to be haunted by a creature that likes to take pens than anything else. Then I discovered why.
Apparently, Dante doesn't know the purpose of a lock. Nothing else is taken, just the pens.
She insisted that I get a cell phone. She told me that she was approved to have another line on hers and I had no idea what she was talking about. So, needless to say, I was dragged to the store where they sold these phones. To say that I was overwhelmed would be a serious understatement. I was completely lost.
The salesman talked to me about apps and files that I had no clue what he was talking about. It was like a whole new language to me. I have a lot of catching up to do.
She picked out two matching phones though hers was pink while mine was black with a blue map of the world. It had no visible buttons on the surface. I watched her operate hers and I mimicked. She taught me how to use it. I like it. The blue tooth comes in handy whenever I'm occupied. It certainly makes it easy to use now that I have grown accustomed to the features.
I personally like the browsing features.
We use the texts often. She sends me a few when she has the time. Our texts are personal in nature and relatively dirty. We'll have to put those words into action at some point.

We need a message board. Dante was out again and I was unaware of it until I noticed his scent was not there. Nevan had made no further advances toward me though she has made hints that she will continue to try. It matters not to me. It's in her nature.
I found a few CD's with music so I played them. I like Pain, Marilyn Manson and Nine Inch Nails. Crypto Christ and Zeromancer are growing on me. My Chemical Romance bore me and the same goes for AFI and some other band, right, Bullet For My Valentine. They seem tame for my liking.
I like Bond, Cindy listens to them. She also likes Switchblade Symphony and Carrion. Both are interesting. Perhaps it's the haunting tones that appeal to me. For older bands, Scorpions has a special place. I remember hearing them when I was in Germany on vacation with my foster family. I didn't tell them I was seeing a rock band. I told them I was going out with a few friends to the clubs in Hamburg. They never questioned it. I don't think they cared enough to check on me.
No matter, I had fun. Back then, it was a right of passage when children succeeded in tricking their parents. I'll have to watch for that...
