Homecoming

It has been some time since I last posted. As I am sure most of you have seen on Mr. Mortel's last post, I am a magic user, and had a rather... unpleasant past. In any case, I have finished my business in England, and have returned to my estate. Marcus seems to be doing well since I last saw him, though I was in a bad place then. Also, I did not return alone. I will keep my new guest's identity a secret for now, but I will explain at a later date, rest assured. My conversation with Last of the Last shall be put up in my next post. I see everyone has been busy while I was gone, and wish all of you luck

Kenny

Kenny arrived at my house yesterday. He seems to be getting along with Keiken and Merciful just fine, though he doesn't appear to trust me. I can't say I blame him for that, considering how things are now. In any case, I seem to have gotten several new followers over the last few weeks. Ira, give Anais my condolences. I suppose there's not much else to say.

House Guests

Keiken and MercifulSister arrived yesterday. They make okay company, though Keiken is insistent on paying me back. My family believes they're friends from school that got kicked out by their respective parents and had nowhere to go. So far everything seems quiet, but with the Solstice occurring tonight, we're not taking any chances. Everyone stay safe out there, and we'll see you on the other side.

Keiken is Gone

As you probably could have guessed from the last post's comments, Keiken had decided to come here in hopes of having a safe place to crash. After talking via email and making preparations, Keiken and his friend, MercifulSister, sent an email to me on Wednesday at about 4:39 pm, saying they would arrive at about 8. They never made it here. I've received no new emails, and I've searched the area over and over, but still haven't found anything. I can only assume they were grabbed by Proxies on the way here. I'm going to go on another search tomorrow, see if I can find anything near the highway. Also, in case nobody saw, Lisa was turned into... something wrong. I wish I could have done something to stop it. No one deserves to suffer that fate. If there is some way to reverse what happened to her, I swear I'll find it.

Consequences

My lucid dreaming experiment worked, so I can finally sleep easy. Now, on to the reason I chose to title this post "Consequences". After my first success with lucid dreaming, I started becoming excesively parnoid, and then the coughing fits started.Now the dehydration is starting to set in. For those who don't know, these are symptoms of The Sickness. I should have known that It would find another way to torment me once I took my dreams back. I'm having trouble just walking around my house. I'll do what I can to recover, and I'll try to pay attention to the blogs incase someone needs help. Until next time.

Results

A few things have changed since I tried lucid dreaming. My first few attempts were met with failure, but I managed to get it to work last night. If it works again tonight, I might be able to sleep peacefully again. I haven't seen It since the second. Also, with the Solstice approaching, things are undoubtedly going to get worse, so to any Runners looking to go to ground, my door's open.

Decisions

It's five a.m. The sun won't come up for another few hours or so. I havn't slept for about twenty four hours. If I sleep, It will torture me again. When the sun comes up, I'm going into the forest near my house and face a few personal demons. If I come back, I'm going to attempt lucid dreaming. Not sure why I bother posting. I doubt anyone who reads this really cares.
