Now that's just messed up.
Wednesday:
Tried sleeping again in the morning, but the nightmares were still there. This wouldn't be so bad if I'd gotten a good night's sleep the night before, but I've been running on just 4 to 6 hours a night most of the week. So missing a whole night has kicked my ass. Daylight makes staying awake easier, as does coffee and sugar. Tried a nap a little after noon, but still having nightmares. Not quite as bad now, but definitely not something that's preferable to being awake and tired as shit. Ran into Val in the evening at the park. I infodumped on her--and snapped at her when she encouraged me to sleep, then stormed off. After I cooled off I came back to apologize, but Val was gone. Rajani was there and had been talking with Val, so I got her to point me in the direction she went. Nada. I went home after checking for tails--paranoid much, Nick?--and started reading. Movies have gotten to be too slow. I've started watching them with subtitles at 2x speed so I don't get bored. Got a text from Mouse that indicated Val had talked to her about me. Great. Then I felt the wards I'd place in the spirit world trip: it was Val. I think she was checking in on me to make sure I wasn't being ridden by a spirit. No, little bird. I was just a cranky ass, sleep-deprived motherfucker today is all. After she left, I texted Val an apology.
Thursday:
Tried sleeping again around 2am. IT WORKED! Restless dreams, but no nightmares of being chased and eaten by wolves and ravens. Fucked. Up. Luxuriated in bed until well after noon. Texted Mouse and Val that I was okay. Met up with Mouse and then Val in the park (and apologized again to Val) before I got a hotline call. Ducked out to get job details. Another "get evidence of my spouse cheating" gig. Bleh, but money is money. After I settled the details/contract, went back to the park. Mouse and Val were still there and Val looked a little irked at something. Val shared that the changeling guy at Plasticorp is a creature that Rajani has been tracking for years. No wonder she was interested in the newspaper article earlier. Val left shortly after she and I talked about doing some recon on Plasticorp on Friday. Talked with Mouse a little and the discussion got a little odd at one point. She asked if mages dazzled people like the vampires in "Twilight." Damn. Now I'm going to have to watch that movie and it sounds like it's so damn awful.
Friday:
1am: Just finished watching Twilight. Not only is it terrible, and not only am I dumber for having seen this piece of shit, it's like a bunch of vampires got together and decided to make a vampire public relations piece. I wonder who Mouse thinks I dazzled? It sounded like more than one person. It'd have to be someone--or someones--that I and Mouse interact with. But who are the people that Mouse and I might mutually be interacting with? That's not too many: Mouse, Val, Emma, Rajani, Rina, Sera, and.... Djehuti and Salem.
....
Oh god. Please let it not be Salem (or Djehuti).
That's it. I'm going to bed. With some awakened rum.
