4.01: Nightmares

2/1

It's been a quiet summer -

Simon banishing a spirit, Cara fighting a pack of ghouls, Michael investigating a spooky old mine, Alissa leading a tai chi class, Didi cheering at a gig

- but now people around the city are having strange dreams...

Happy New Year as and when it comes, if applicable.

Did an in town thing for the day, which was nice. (Bands and choirs and shows and things.)

2025

Okay, I think the Old Year is leaving, everybody make sure the exits are clear and - OH SHIT HE'S GOT A SCYTHE

Happy holidays if applicable, a good and safe day to all.

At mum's. Chicken, roast potatoes, soup, chocolate pudding and some Jaffa Cakes eaten, Fantastic Four DVD confirmed to work, book of winter ghost stories confirmed to have words in, charming Aardman animated special and charmless Amazon Santa movie watched, meeting people I didn't see before to exchange gifts organised for next week. And so to bed.

Her name is Moon

Maybe we'll be okay after all

The Force Awakens at ten

And despite how that ended, it's still pretty fun.

Tales From Black Friday 2025

#talesfromblackfriday

You arrive at the mall with time to spare.

Everyone seems to be lining up patiently, chatting amiably, sharing snacks.

This is WRONG.

You hear people discussing which stores have the things they're after. Offering advice and even directions.

Mall staff dispending warm drinks.

You ask what's going on, and a clerk explains "This is the chosen mall. Every year one mall gets properly supplied."

Really? Huh.

"The tricky part is that we only have a limited time before staff and customers from the other malls hear about it. So no need to rush for bargains... but we do need to be quick about this." She smiles, but her eyes dart to the food court clock.

It's all quite orderly, for the first hour or so. A band plays shopping classics, and the PA includes regular assurances that the security watch teams haven't spotted any approaching convoys so far.

But then the alarm goes up. Delivery trucks from West Harbor. And they're high on the axle, empty in back. Looking to be filled.

Mall security hold the line, knowing this is their best chance of an extra bonus.

And the new tablet you got is SO light, you agree to help shore up the shieldwall for half an hour. If you make it out it'll be so worth it.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving, US friends! Turkey sandwich of solidarity eaten. Went all out this time and got it from Subway.

Wake Up Dead Man

Wake Up Dead Man is nearly a serious movie that still has Benoit Blanc in it.

Character plans

Found my next player character.

No idea which game for but I can make it work.

A.R.: I'm feeling changling or mage

J: Gangrel. They all count as one Famulus

Bloodlines 2

There are some NPCs I'd like to initiate combat on during some of our conversations, but I guess the story needs them alive or undead for later.

And done as of a couple days ago!

Looked great, sounded great, happy with it as a story.

Very much appreciated adjustable difficulty.

Good to have more enemies later, though could still do with more.

I see proper saves are in upcoming patch notes.

Alas, no Spooky House level.

Felt Bloodlines-y to me, so happy there.

All Hallow Bunny

Aww

Daily bunny no.3125 got here early

Will Quinn

A little bunny dressed as a witch goes trick-or-treating. Arriving at a house where candy has been left out, she is surprised to see two squirrels taking all the candy for themselves, despite the sign saying "Take One"

C: Emergency! More sweets for Bunny!

Halloween

Happy Halloween!

Update:

We had some trick or treaters!

I went to see Nosferatu!

I saw people in costume at the club!

My feet are sore!

Happy All Hallows!

Frankenstein

Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is so Guillermo del Toro. Not at all scary, going more for the big sweeping grand version. Beautiful, sad, kind.

Bloodlines 2

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2

It's real. It's happening.

I've been playing Bloodlines 2 for a couple hours now and I like the flip from starting as a nobody. I got to punch a guy across a room, wrench a padlock off a door instead of the bit where you have to pick locks, make other vampires nervous just by existing (while also being kind if I want) and the writing and options let me feel like I'm going along with quests and plots for my own reasons instead of having to. Now if I can dance without looking like Kermit the Frog...
