Okay, you've probably noticed yet another new blog design. Again, I felt like a change. It seems that this has been a month of changes, which I suppose is to be expected of a new year. Today's a Thursday, so roleplay night, huzzah! But, again, this being a month of changes, there are very exciting things on the horizon, and they all seem to be happening on Thursdays. The first of these is next week, which heralds the start of Worcester's new Vampire: The Requiem larp group, and then concludes with two stand-up comedy gigs where I'll be performing. If anyone reading this is interested, I'll plug them here. The first is the 10th of Feb and is at The Crown Inn in Worcester, and the second is the 24th of Feb at the Stourbridge rugby club. I'm still waiting for final details, but I'm very excited about both of them. Anyway, let's get back to why we're here... Entwined!
Eddie had tried to summon the spirits of the last few victims, but to no avail. This, sadly, confirmed our suspicions that their spirits had become corrupted and overwhelmed by the binding process... Their spirits had become so degraded and warped that they no longer constituted as human, which meant that Eddie couldn't channel them. Poor souls probably didn't even know how bad they were. Or maybe they did. Maybe this faceless killer was doing the world a favour. This was becoming annoyingly more complex by the minute.
My phone rang. Eddie glanced up and gave a nod to say it was okay to answer. I still left the room out of manners. It was an unknown number. That never tended to be good as it was either bills, telesales or lunatics. "Hello?" The line was silent for a few moments. "Hel-" "I am aware of what you are, Mr. Leighton. I am aware that your mind, body, your soul, all have been freed from the realms of mortal understanding." Oddly, this call didn't phase me. I was hoping that our mystery killer would contact me, as it saved me a lot of legwork in tracking them down. "You speak well for someone without a mouth... What're you calling for? How did you get this number?" My number was public knowledge, if you knew the right websites and forums to search through, so that wasn't the issue, I just wanted to lead them into thinking they had me cornered. "Mr. Leighton, the moon is rising over a night of new emergence. Will you rise with us? Will you become once again reborn?" However this guy communicated, it gave his voice as disjointed, almost prerecorded crackle. There were subtle fluctuations in pace too, as though a tape was slowing and speeding up ever so slightly. "What do you mean, reborn? I'm already entwined, what more is there?" There was another pause, though there was breathing on the line, so it wasn't a recording; at least, I didn't think it was a recording. "To be once more reborn. To become one in unity. No longer bound or bonded, but one! Mr. Leighton, should you choose to accept this offer, then we are to meet... I shall contact you with rendevous information. Come alone... Your brother excluded of course." So he knew about Shane too... This guy'd done his research, I was impressed. Well, I had my meet. The time had come for me to confront this killer, face to faceless...
So there we go. I'm now gonna go cheat on Twitter again. I'm back on the book of faces tomorrow though, so normal services shall be resumed. Stay tuned for the thrilling conclusion to Entwined tomorrow!
Peace out y'all,
Craiggy.
