  We got a job!! We made our way out to Lost Wolverine Vineyard yesterday and met with Regis, the proprietor of the vineyard. He had us heading out to Big Bottle Vineyard to see about some employees he lost or something. I don’t really remember, it was such a long day. On the way there we met these two Lizardfolk. I think they were brothers and they were fighting, I don’t remember what about. We told them about Lost Wolverine Vineyard and that they were hiring and I think they’re gonna head there and ask about that job which means we’re going to get a bonus! When we got to Big Bottle, it was completely abandoned. No one in sight, it looked like no one had been there in a while. We did some nosing around and found this weird blob thing that attacked us, it was really gross. Right before it died, this metal guy fell out of the ceiling and once the blob was dead the metal guy jumped on Craig. Lucky for us I calmed the metal guy down so we could talk to him. He said his name was Drifter and that he was on a mission with his friend, I think his name was Flipio? Skippy? I don’t know. He was also missing an arm. Drifter, not Skippy. He seemed to be pretty freaked out by the fact that he was in Ulana. He did some weird star map thing and then left. Before he left though he offered us some items and we ended up taking this magic dragon scale thing. I’m using it as a pick right now but it feels pretty powerful. We started back to Lost Wolverine to report to Regis when we saw one of those lizards again but this time instead of the other lizard there was this guy named Oswyn with him. The lizard was hurt pretty bad and Oswyn said he had been attacked by a vampire (yikes) and asked us if we would help him confront this vampire guy. We didn’t really have anything better to do so we said sure and he led us to this old, run down chateau. It looked like there hadn’t been anyone living there in centuries but Oswyn said this is where the vampire guy would be. We went in and the vampire guy was there! Along with some other vampire guys AND the other lizard! Well we fought them and killed them and Oswyn stabbed the vampire guy through the heart cuz apparently that’s how you kill a vampire. The whole fight went pretty well except right before we killed the vampire guy, he bit Amelia. Oswyn also told us that he was a vampire too, which is crazy. He said that we could live at this chateau and help him out and stuff like that, I think he feels bad that Amelia is a vampire now. I feel bad that Amelia is a vampire now, although she seems to be taking it pretty well all things considered. Better than I’d take it, that’s for sure. So now we’re at this chateau. We’re going to be fixing it up which is really exciting. Oswyn is going to let me come along to the hardware and fabric stores to pick out everything and I’m really excited. Mama never let me decorate my room or anything so I’m excited to be able to decorate this whole house. I’m also working on murals in everyone’s rooms. Azna is staying in the attic which is…a choice. They seem to like it so to each their own. Craig wants a painting of the mountains which will be fun to do, I’ve never really painted mountains before. And in Amelia’s room I’m going to be painting a landscape with a sunrise. She doesn’t have any windows in her room since she’s a vampire and sunlight doesn’t exactly agree with her so I figured if she couldn’t look outside I’d bring the outside to her. Or at least as much as “outside” as I can. I’m going to be pretty busy over the next few weeks so I might not be able to write that much. Hopefully I’ll have some fun updates though.

  Azna somehow got in the walls. I’m not sure how but I was practicing my banjo and all the sudden I heard them say “that sounds pretty good!” from the walls. It scared the life outta me. I told them that they have to announce themselves if they’re gonna be in the walls. What if I was changing or something????

  Azna was in the walls again today. I was changing this time.

  The Chateau is coming along really nicely!! Everyone’s quarters are looking great and I’m almost done with the murals. We still have some painting to do and I keep having to clean up drywall bits from where Azna has gone in the walls but I’m really happy with the progress we’ve made. Amelia and Craig have been training a lot for Amelia’s first wrestling match. They both keep trying to get me to exercise with them but they just get up so early. I’ve been working on some new music and I think it’s starting to sound pretty good. I’m thinking about inviting Mama and Daddy to the Chateau once it’s all cleaned up and repaired so they can see how well I’m doing. I haven’t decided yet…what if they don’t show up?

  Well we finished up the remodel of the Chateau and I invited Mama and Daddy over for a dinner party tonight. We made shepherd’s pie and a bunch of tasty sides and some chocolate mousse for dessert and they just. Didn’t show up. I sent the letter with plenty of time for it to arrive, or at least I thought I did. I just don’t understand. I know they’re upset with me but I thought this would be a good opportunity for them to see how well I’m doing and how they can count on me now. I’ve always tried so hard to gain their approval but I feel like no matter what I do it’s never enough. I don’t think that I can be the daughter they want me to be. I just don’t know what to do anymore.

  Oswyn has a job for us. We’re heading to Duster to deal with some hags that haven’t been adhering to the “Unseen Pact.” Whatever that means. So we gotta go rough em up and get them in line and if they refuse I guess we kill em? Amelia’s got some new responsibilities now that she’s a vampire so apparently she can go out and enforce this Unseen Pact. Amelia and Craig have been kicking it into high gear with their work outs now that Amelia has been able to submit her entrance fee to the wrestling circuit. They keep trying to get me to work out with them but they get up so early and they’re out there for So Long, I think I’d keel over a die if I tried to keep up with them. I’ve been trying to work on writing some new music but I can’t come up with anything that I’m happy with. I feel like everything sounds awful. I just keep hearing Mama’s voice in my head telling me that I should just give up on the banjo and play a “respectable” instrument like the flute or something. Flute players are boring.

  We killed the hags, but something feels wrong. I can still feel one of them. Everytime I close my eyes she’s there, watching me. Waiting. Like she’s expecting something from me. Like one day she’ll ask for something someday and I won’t be able to say no.

  We made it back to the Chateau in one piece, more or less. Oswyn is away on business, he said he won’t be there for Amelia’s first match but he left us some money to get the poetic recreation of it. He left me this old instrument that he found while he was cleaning up around here, it’s really cool. I am afraid I’m going to break it though and I don’t want him to be mad at me so I think I’ll just leave it in my room for now. Amelia is having a hard time with this vampire stuff, she’s afraid that she’s going to hurt us. I wish there was something I could do to make her feel better, I hate seeing her so upset. This is all so new to her and we don’t expect her to have it all under control right away, accidents happen. If something did happen we all know that she wouldn’t mean it, she would never intentionally hurt any of us. And of course we would forgive her. I just hope she comes to us if she needs something, we certainly don’t want her to be isolated and go through this alone. We all care about her so much and we’d do anything for her. I hope she knows that.   Some guy with a really cool name came to talk to Craig. Apparently he’s in serious debt.   Azna’s wall count -
Times caught in walls: 43
Times seeing my boobs: 6

  We’re leaving for Raemesbury today. That’s where Amelia’s match is. She’s going to be facing off against Beesting Jim and apparently we get HECKLING PRIVILEGES! Since we’re part of her entourage! I’m SO excited I can hardly wait. We’re going to be stopping by the vineyard on our way into town to visit with Bil and Deetra and some of the other workers. If Mama and Daddy are there I might slip away and try to talk to them. I have a few things to say, some things I need to get off my chest.
