[ He awakens in his room suddenly. A whole host of memories flooding his already fragile mind ... the moors, Scotland, tracking her down like a wounded animal to the church. And then ... he died. But how?

Wait no, there was a knife to his back wasn't there? yes and a figure standing there bold as a lion. However no matter how hard he tries Silva just can't remember who it is. The memory is all blurry.

But what did it matter? M was clearly dieing ... no person could survive with a wound bleeding like that. It was over.

Yet there's also a hollow feeling inside ... it's not the victory he had in mind. Silva lacks the satisfaction he's desired for so long. He curses under his breath.

And then another thought occured to him. He'd died here in Paradisa too, at the hands of Meg Masters. Well that had been annoying ... and he'd work so hard to turn her human too. At least he''d gotten the satisfaction of leaving a little insurance policy here. Maybe he should search the network to see if it caught up with her?

He lifts himself off his bed slowly ... dieing twice has somewhat took it's tole on him. He addresses the journal network.]

Could anybody be so kind as to tell me the date today?

[He's going out on a limb and guessing nobody is going to be rushing to help answer him.]

Does the New Year mean anything to you?

[Thank goodness he has a friend like you Spike.]

That depends which one you are talking about.

[He does owe him a favor.]

The one with all the lanterns.

Ah the Chinese new year. I do so enjoy that one ... the fireworks, the street performances.

It's just so magical.

[Making a mental note as to how long he was gone.]

[Spike may know more about it than he's letting on, but that's his way.]

You're just in time.

[He's open to the possibility people are aware of what transpired ... but only a select few.]

How lucky for me hmm?

Tell me Mr Spike ... did I miss anything?

[Spike unfortunately doesn't know all of his business, so he can't do much to reassure him of that.]

Since your vacation?

Yes ... Let us call it that.

[He chuckles.]

[Yeah...]

You probably missed as much as I did. Same confusing mess that you usually get over the journal.

Ah you mean the usual trite whineing over matters that are beyond our control.

That I have not missed.

You've got a record on hand if you change your mind, anyway.

I think I will stick to the works of Charles Trenet if I would like to listen to anything.

And at a push The Animals.

[Both of those references are lost on Spike, unfortunately. His ancient music history could use brushing up.

He figures it's a band, but you know. Checking.]

I didn't know you were that into animals.

[Laughing]

Oh no no ... they're a music group. I used to find them quite ... engaging in my youth.

Ah such simpler times.

Edited 2014-02-05 23:21 (UTC)

That's a good way of putting it.

[Simpler times before the impossible magic castle. He may not know the band, but he remembers that much.]

It can be a comfort to remember that life wasnt always so complicated.

Still looking on the bright side.

Oh you know me Mr Spike ... I'm all sunshine and lollipops under this gruff exterior

[Underneath the crazy is more crazy though. But maybe that makes it easier to bounce back.]

I'm sure that's what makes you so popular.

It's the sense of humour

People just can't get enough of it.

They gave it their best shot.

I can't fault them there really.

I just can't.

Well, look who came back.

It's done.

Ah such music to my ears.

I trust it was a work of art as promised?

And her cries were music to mine.

Oh yes, it was beautiful; and as a bonus, I made it last.

[He makes a sound that could almost be mistaken for a squeal of delight.]

Wonderful.

You most certainly have earned your paycheck. A pity I could not have been around to witness it, but that's insurance policies for you.

I would be happy to recall it for you in stunning detail. Every snap of bone and slice of blade. It was a festival of pain, and the cherry on top is settling the whole thing on a imbecile. I do love my work.

[the laugh that followed was not only disturbing due to the filter but also down right megalomaniac.]

[Wow somebody just as insane as him ... color Silva impressed.]

You sound like a person who truely enjoys their work.

That is such an important part of finding true happiness is it not?

[Ohh Silva if you and Omega could have a sit down you might just fall in love. As it was Omega cackled an agreement that trickled off to a low, rough growl.]

Bonus of doing what I do, being able to use my skills creatively. There's an appalling shortage of use for them here.

Oh I do wish I had met you sooner ... the fun we could have had with mother.

[He sighs.]

Still at least we have made up for lost time with Megan.

Nothing stopping us from working more closely now, and so many who are deserving of our efforts.

Indeed.

I will keep you posted on any new future playmates my new friend.

I do hope you will be staying for the long haul.

[That drew something of a low snarl and then a long pause. He made an excellent point, if this place decided to send Omega away again it would leave Tex's personality as it was, that would not be so receptive to these ideas.]

Just remind me we've worked together in the past, if I remember you'll know we're clear. If I don't then the castle has mixed things up again.

A capital idea.

I truely hope you do ... however I am well aware of the castles reputation for being something of a "party pooper".

When we're together she is much more compliant, an artist with violence. We could have done such great things together. Without my influence she's only ever going to be second best and not good enough. She knows it.

[The change of address was clear enough, someone wasn't in their right mind, at least not entirely. But they had discussed this to a degree when they had made plans for Meg. Omega made Tex what she could be and what she never would be on her own. It meant she'd also be less agreeable, so Omega had to get in his kicks while he could.]

So you have always been a part of her?

How fascinating ... maybe with some gentle cohersion she might let you out to play more often?

More that we were paired, we were the best. As far as I know the castle brought me here to teach her a lesson. I have no idea how long I get to stay.

Then it is better to saviour each day here as it comes my friend.

Take every opportunity you can for fun and mischief.
