PARABOLICAL GRAFFITI

Is there anyone out there with some free time, slight measure of culinary skill and genuine enjoyment of cooking? I could really use some part-time help at the L.A.W.C., and I'd hate to resort to adding 'take out' as a key food group for my residents, as well.

I can see a bad moon rising.

Anyone up for a little werewolf babysitting?

And if you want freebies in my store when it opens bring a steak or two or ten.

I don't know quite how to say this, but Lauren's here. She's...killed a family. She says she's sorry and she honestly seems pretty upset about the whole thing. I'm going to go and look for her now, but she doesn't know where she is so I'm just hoping I can sense...well you know.

I'll get back in touch when I find her. I don't know what to do. I can't bring her back to hotel, but if we just leave her out there...

No no no no...

...Can't do it.

And I tried, I really did try but I could never be strong like him.

I was dead. It was done, I was free and now this...

God its everywhere

Mitchell just showed up. I'm going to get him now, but I'm going to bring him back. I'm really hoping none of you will have a problem with that, what with him being a vampire, I totally vouch for him! If anyone does have a problem well just tell me, yeah? And I'll sort it out, I will say I don't want to stay without him though.

Okay...

Don't suppose anyone wants to fill a guy in on what's going on do they? It can't be Herrick, he's dead even if he did have this kind of power.

I'm Mitchell and I really wasn't planning on being in LA any time this century.

I've become quite the night owl. I expect that everyone else in The Hyperion is sleeping, and yet here I am, awake in front of this computer screen with nothing of real substance to report. At least I have a nice cup of tea to keep me company. Even as drowsiness comes over me, I resist it for no reason other than stubbornness. Every night I have been reading - Fred, you weren't lying when you said the library in here was well-stocked and managed. I read till dawn, feeling a strange connection to a certain vampire I was once employed for, and then sleep for just a few hours until I try to make myself useful.

I noticed nothing was going on with the small garden area we have, so I've taken it upon myself to plant some herbs, as well as some mint (excellent for tea). Please feel free to utilize any of these should you find yourself cooking. I'm afraid I'm not much of a flower-sort, so I haven't done anything in the way of those.

Okay, given her memories I'm positive that this vampy Faith isn't the real Faith that we know and love from here.  Just to share with any who are concerned.

This Faith is pissing me off something wicked. Buttons are effectively PUSHED. I want to punch a wall. But then the wall would have a big damn hole in it. And that's...bad, right?

Mortals.

I know technically I am one these days, but come on. Were you always this stupid as a species or is this another side effect of the dragging whammy?

No killing werewolves. Or me. Not afraid to bring out the magic if anyone tries either. If anyone has a problem with that I'll get out the whiteboard and draw them a diagram to show how stupid they are. Welcome to LA. Get some sunglasses to protect you against the shades of gray here.

Morons.

My producers think we should have a werewolf debate on the show? Faith, do you want to speak for them and Mr tall dark and broodier than even Angel on a bad day can be all ranty about how they're bad?

Me, I mostly just think they're gross. They smell, especially when it rains, ew wet dog.

Its cool for you to come to the Hyperion whenever. Its 1481 Hyperion Avenue. I'll be in the lobby with some of the people you should meet.
