Na na na na na na na na ABOMINATION!

I'm kind of getting the hang of this. You know, get together with a bunch of terrible monsters, fight against a horrible death-cult conspiracy thing, and then blog about it a day or two later. How fucked up is that?

It helps (so much as these sort of things can be helped) that things are running...semi smoothly. I attribute this to a pretty simple rule- I don't know if it's official yet, but damn if it shouldn't be, because things are working. But yeah, the rule is as follows:

DON'T DO SHIT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A PLAN.

That simple.

See, earlier in the evening, Mummy Guy was all like 'Let's go kill Spiers!' At which point I noted 'Hey, the last time we went up and knocked on his door, he just teleported the hit squad away and then killed one of us for kicks, because he is a fucking 110 RQ brain wizard.'

Knocking on Spiers' door is a bad plan.

So either due to my veteran wisdom, or something, disaster was averted. Don't get me wrong, I want Spiers as dead as the next guy, but it's gonna take some doing.

That's not to say we can't get shit done, however! As Ethan and some of his zombie ghost buddies and Jacques and Barrett and probably a bunch of other people I'm forgetting (don't blame me, I wasn't there) went after Detective Keller- who we all learned was a fire ghost changeling thing last month. However, as they went after Keller, a Tear opened- at which point they ran into Batman and Robin.

No, really.

I...kind of wish I'd been there, maybe? Not really, as Abominations terrify me (as most everything does), but still. Batman and Robin. 1960's version, because of course it was. From what I heard, people got BIFF'd and POW'd and otherwise knocked around until they were able to tear the Bat-abominations apart.

That's yet another old-timey pop culture Abomination we've had to deal with- thus far, we've fought The Lone Ranger & Tanto, a Redshirt from Star Trek, a stop motion animated dinosaur, and now Batman & Robin. I'm kicking around a few theories about this right now, but honestly it's probably some other whack-ass thing I've never heard of like TV gremlins or some shit. Somebody's probably going to fight Evil Mr. Ed next, or something. So if a talking horse tries to kill you, let me know.

So yeah. I wasn't at the Abomination-fight, as Cora and Dr. Jones and Michelle and I wound up doing some investigating on that dude who got stabbed up at NASA. See, that dude was apparently a Changeling watching over it, or something- and Wayngro wanted him out of the way.

I had THOUGHT Barrett had taken care of this last month, but I was wrong. See, Barrett had the bright idea of taunting Wayngro and trying to fuck him over out of the deal, so Wayngro took matters into his own hands and murdered the NASA dude- and he made sure to frame Barrett for it. OOPS.

Yeah.

Thankfully, that shit's handled now- but, to make the local changelings happy, we had to get a changeling of our own as a co-caretaker or something. Seeing as of how we only had the one changeling handy, this fell on Michelle. It's all in an expansive, 'signed in blood' kind of contract, because, you know, demons.

Funnily enough, I'm kind of cool with this (at least since I wasn't the one who had to sign the contract). Wayngro may be a fucked up demon creature, but from everything I've seen so far, the dude's on the level. Sure, he's not a member of the Accord, but he knows about the Truth, and he hates and fears them as much as we do. It's just that it's in his nature to be a greedy bastard (because, you know, demon) so he's gonna work the angles. According to him, his goal is to take control of all these power-places in town so he can open a gateway to hell so he can go back home, and run away from the truth. The thing is, I get the feeling he doesn't completely know what the fuck he's doing so here's to hoping he doesn't drag the entire damned city into hell with him. Houston's hot enough as is.

What I'm trying to say, really, is DON'T FUCK WITH WAYNGRO. He's dangerous, of course, but he can also get us legit intel, which is something we can definitely use. Case in point, here's the current list of CUT bad guys we need to worry about:

1) The Reverend Damian Rominati, head of the local CUT.

2) Christopher Spiers, chief assistant to Rominati.

3) Miriam MacDonald, City Councilman.

4) Melissa Redding, City Councilman.

5) Mr. Lester Rothstein, ghoul in the employ of Alder Stentorius

6) Patrick Pierce, a former Marine and head of Pierce Protection.

7) Lieutenant Christopher Keller, newly appointed head of Arson. (DEAD)

8) David Pine, Board member and majority share-holder of Pine Pharmaceuticals.

9) Lance, Obrimos Mage of the Adamantine Arrow

I don't know what an Adamantine Arrow mage is, but it sounds bad.

But yeah, general orders are, go out and pull info on these guys as best you can, be it by digging up records or bribing people or looking into a crystal ball or whatever the fuck it is you can do. With any luck, we'll know enough to get a Plan together by the end of July.

Which is when the Evil Talking Horse will show up, and everything will go to shit, I'm guessing.
