Since you ask, I'm from Christchurch, New Zealand. My house is just to the right of the centre of the first Big Red Circle on this map. Last aftershock about an hour ago, 2.9 on the Richter scale.

Enjoying the story.

I'm from Manitoba, Canada ^^

I just have to say, it's not that fluffy in here anymore...

Pryce is having a tough time, and his head must want to explode. Or he will wish it did if Seamus gives him to many more details.

So Gwen's under the curse now, for the rest of her life? Yikes, and she's only been tagging along for a couple of stories. Dill must be completely hosed, then. And Ranger Eric, too. And Beth.

Dill, I doubt that there's a werewolf army, and that they would promote you to Sergeant. Stick to supernatural law enforcement, I'm pretty sure you're already something like DC Werewolf. Under DCI Cursed One.

Yeah, you just know Dark Peter would thrive in jail. He and Full Moon Dill could rule the place, especially if Dark Peter smuggled in a little lunar souvenir...

I already tried that one in court last year. Didn't work.

Best part of the last post!

“Gwendolynnnn! You’re dad’s waiting!” Melissa called from down the hall.

I think that ought to be "Your dad's."

@Darren from yesterday: Yeah, I guess you're right. What I was thinking about was the whole "innocent until proven guilty," but I suppose that wouldn't hold when you need to prove that you were acting in self-defense. OTOH, they don't need to prove anything supernatural occured as long as they prove that there was a threat to their lives (e.g. there could have been some lunatic in a costume, or something). The security guard should have been able to corroborate that much, at least.

And yes, I do tend to overthink things, why do you ask? ;P

It seems that grandfather has some sort of plan anyway, anyone have a clue what it is? Waiting eagerly for the next update.

MistyCat -
Awesome! Although the link leads to a cartoon, I think for MONTY.

But that sucks about the quake. I feel ya, I lived in LA for 15 years.

Mina -
Woo-hoo!

And yes, it's not nearly as fluffy.

In fact, it's going to pretty spiky soon.

And not in a "British vampire who likes PASSIONS, blood on his Weetabix, and vampire slayers" kind of way.

daymon34 -
Except they probably won't be the details you're thinking of...

Rubberduck -
I don't know if she's really FULLY touched by the Curse. If she moved away she'd probably be okay...but if she stays in Duskerville or even in Charterton, her time fighting evil will probably doom her.

As for Dill...yes. Completely hosed. Beth, sort of, but just because she's of the Flannagan bloodline. Ranger Eric? Nah. Not anymore than anyone else in Duskerville.

Which is still a fair amount, probably.

Todd -
Glad you liked it! And thanks for the edit!

Um the Muse -
Yeah, if the dang security guard would admit to REMEMBERING anything...

Naaaah, you're just very logical. I'll bet there's a trial attorney inside you straining to bust out.

And no, you didn't eat him.

Thavieus -
Yes! Where are the theories? People always have theories on here! Speak up, theory people!

Glad you're liking it, Thavieus!
