Who: Pscipolnitsa and Marijuana
When: Back-dated to earlier this week through the next day or so. Ambiguous, yeah?
Where: Places. From Southern California to NYC, ends up in the parking lot behind MJ's store.
Ratings: None so far. But, uh, drugs + crazy little demon-goddess?

"Zhara," She hissed through her teeth to the bird, who was busy gnawing at one of the plants. "Don't eat that. You are the sacred Firebird, the good-luck-for-a-short-while-but-more-lik
