PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

This wait is becoming bloody irritating. Down below this network are posts of people who claim to have traveled elsewhere outside Los Angeles. I was informed we aren't able to leave the city. Evidently one of the sources is lying. Can we depart or not?

I went to Greece, to Athens and Corinth and Arkadía. Nothing is the same as it used to be. The temples are all shadows of what they once were and the air isn’t as soothing, the ground feels different and when I went to see Mount Olympus, it was foreign, empty, upsetting. It’s still beautiful but it’s beauty is bland and no longer divine.

If Zeus were here he’d make them fix everything.

This world almost makes me long for my family, although I don’t think I’d like to see Hera again. She was a bitch. The Queen of Bitches.

I think I’ll go play with the vampires. One of you should come along, one of you who isn’t human, or maybe just not a fragile, regular human. If you’re normal and weak, I might break you. I don’t care, but you might.

Really now. Is there not a single one of you do-gooders that can pose an actual threat against me? This is becoming something of a bore...

Somebody killed one of my cats. The tiger, the white one, the one without the stripes… Whoever dared to do it, you should have been smarter. You should have gotten rid of the body before I came across it. That was stupid of you, stupid of you to leave her right where I would find her.

This is a warning to all of you: Keep your filthy hands away from my possessions, especially the living ones. There is no reason for anybody to harm the cats. They only do what I tell them to, and if you have a problem, you are welcome to come to me. If I find out who touched her, I’ll make you wish that you hadn’t. You’ll spend the rest of your days as a sewer rat, crawling around in the filth of the city.

Remember that.

Damien, where are you at? I wish to see you. You should come to the park. I’m bored.

[Private to Ivy]

Are you well, Ivy? Nobody is bothering you, are they? You don’t have any problems?

I will come and see you soon. I have things to give you.
