Just noticed my DM stuff is off. So if you've been trying to message me and it's failing, it's not because I'm trying to ignore anybody, it's just that you have to do the age ID bollocks in the UK to make it work. And I won't do that.

He thought of the city as a meal of a thousand dishes he could never hope to eat, and three quarters of them turned his stomach on sight.

The city was populated by cuckoo clock men and women, moving in rigid patterns, striking the hour over and over again.

All architects dreamed of the future in clean lines, but life rarely had a steady enough hand to make those dreams a reality.

It seemed as if everything in the city was for sale. Even the people. There were small pockets, he was sure, where priceless things existed. Tiny deserts in the oasis of commerce. But he hadn't found one yet.

Just got back from Liverpool, and was reminded again how much I dislike cities. All the hustle and bustle. The clash of architectural dream against waking reality. And the people. So many people.

I've just bought an AIO liquid cooler to replace the old heatsink on my CPU.

My life is incredibly exciting.

You wear a dress, baby, I'll wear a tie. We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky.

Passing the gym and the dwellers spilled out. Gaggles of cat-eyed plastic surgery disasters and their roidfriends, sweaty from posing for their cameras, ricket-walking into the car park. The poor men cursed by Medusa muscles to carry two bags of shopping forever and never scratch their own backs.

There were three of them, all shorter than the last, so that standing beside one another they reminded me of a Matroskha doll being unpacked, albeit with a lot less colour and a lot more facial hair. I wondered then, would everyone in the castle have whiskers better than mine?

"They called him Vlad Rasul, Vlad the Shaved, on account of his hairless face. Unable to grow any whiskers, not even a fuzz to rival that on his wife's upper lip, he went insane and slaughtered his enemies by impaling them on barbers' poles."

"How does such a creature come into being, you ask? By will and will alone, and a little bit of black magic, and blood, lots of blood, and also a special tonic concocted by the Devil himself!" Van Kapsel said.

I noticed his moustache cast no shadow upon the wall, even though it seemed by the hour to grow in length. I put this down to the long hours of travel and my barely concealed addiction to laudanum. But still, it bothered me.

I blush to think of it now, Mona, but the Count's brides exposed themselves to me from knee to ankle. The only saving grace was that their parts were covered in such a dense shag of fur that my nethers barely fluttered.

My nethers, as always, belong to thee, my love.
