When he finally have them on he sais, "Ok, there". I thrown him the tee I collected with the words, "You might need it I can get cold here". His face frowns at me but he takes it on. As he gets it on he walks over to takes his shoes back on. As if to demonstrate he not like my offer of clothes, while he does Xerx give him a little warning, "Oh and when you hear something like screams and strange ritually tonight. Dun worry" as she finish this she looks at Inde's feather boa and asks him "Looks almost human, just....come on, gimma that stola". Something he care about the "noooo" scream almost instant. Xerx giggles and much him a little "i wannit......i like it actually". I grab Xerx hand as we walk up to fill out the paperwork. After finishing the work I go out with Xerx to relax at the bar.

When we start Xerxis have just digged her self into Indes mind, finding it in a total mess.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stare at Xerx, "Is he drugged?" I ask her that not fitting the Inde I know. "something....hmmm...in his brain.... yeah might be drugs" she tells me. "I need a blood sample" I order her into the next part of the work. With a quick "Yes Mistress" she removed her hand with a little of his soul and takes out a syringe from her satchel. I can see how used he is, one hand searching the bag, the other keeping Inde against the wall. She have full control over him, oh I love that girl. Inde tries to pull, Xerx takes the needle to her lips the cup of the needle stays between her lips as she moves the needed in position to. Sticks into Indes arm and with out releasing the pressure on him she fills the needle with blood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She pulls out the needle, his arm dripping with blood as she puts the syringe back into her satchel. She tells him "Ok then, that's it." We have about when we need, it's not terrorist, it's Inde even if his brain is messed up. "What do you think shall we keep him till we know how to heal him?" Xerx comes over to the door, while Inde massages his arm after the needle. "Hmmmmm in his actual condition, I would say we should keep him. At least until we know what's going on". I nod at Xerx as I let her out of the cell. "I mean he could as good be the one who poisoned the bloodpool." Not that I believe Inde could ever do anything like that. I raise my voice, "Inde, come here. Or was was it Paco Bell come here".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "I'm not this Inde! my name is Paco Pablo" he replies, "yeah sure" I find my self adding for my self, keeps from saying loud and instead continues "What ever come here back against the door", as i can see he is not making any indication of moving I continue and starts turning form the door, "Suite you self, you can keep the cuffs". It have the intended effect and he comes crying to the door. I takes the cuffs off him, I try to calm him "Sorry we keep you till we know how to heal you. And next time don't resist"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He keeps rubbing his wrists, maybe I was a little hard on him. "You're not going to leave me in here are you? I'm innocent". "No not leave we be back with food", I reply as I start to leave him, I hear him bang on the door, "lemme out" he screams. As I turn I see the back room. There should be some old clothes in there. I go inand is able to dig out a tee and a possibly fitting jeans. With that in my hand I look at the cell again, Xerx next to me "I even believe that paco is innocent. But there is something that inde had to hide, So we keep him", I nod at Xerx as I throw inde the jeans, "Dress" I order him.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8129001371239997225-6973363677843230223?l=thewintermarket.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/feeds/6973363677843230223/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8129001371239997225&amp;postID=6973363677843230223' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/6973363677843230223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/6973363677843230223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning-part-vi.html' title='Blood poisoning, part VI'/><author><name>Nadine Nozaki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16279715798713388028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05697907233149537443'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129001371239997225.post-776086960687463969</id><published>2009-01-27T03:52:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-27T07:22:00.986-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Xerxis Rodenberger'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malkavian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Independence Shippe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='role-play'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nadine Nozaki'/><title type='text'>Blood poisoning, part V</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Fifth part of the Blood poisoning, &lt;a href="http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning.html"&gt;part I&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning-part-ii.html"&gt;II&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning-part-iii.html"&gt;III&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning-part-iv.html"&gt;IV&lt;/a&gt;. When we start Nadine and Xerxis have just figured out that Inde is Inde. And are wondering why he lies about his identity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I call him Pablo, Picaso, Inde with definite anger in his voice snaps back at me, "It's Paco Pablo.. and I'm not a liar... I'm a dragonfly protector... I live in poppy fields". I study him somehow he don't make the impression of lying even if I know he is doing it, I just can't put my mind into what is happening.&lt;br /&gt;"Ok" Xerx, starts and then make a long, pause like almost forever, "Mister Pablo" in this you can hear her being sarcastic, "Can you remember freeing from the cage in Mistresses dungeon?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Inde continues his blabbering not making sense, "i've never been here before". Xerx presses him, "When did you came here then?". "right before she cuffed me", he points at me. I have lost my temper something is wrong, Inde have no fucking memory at all. We have to become drastic, I so hope Xerx will understand me. I pull my nightstick "Back off mister", I see terror in his eyes as he back off, "Give me your gun Xerx." I see Xerx worry as she hands me her gun, I aim at Inde, as she asks me her voice questioning me, "What...are you want with it, Mistress?" "You can't go in there armed". My answer satisfies her and I see her take the small backup gun form her back hands it over to me. I take it and open the door slowly, "dont shoot me... i'm innocent.. noooo".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Xerx walks slowly into the cell talking calming to Inde, "I am not armed....at least not with a gun." she turns at me, "And now, Mistress? Take his blood?". As the cell door closes I holster my gun, "Get into his soul, see if you can fix his memory." I see Xerx shrugging, "my memory is fine", inde protests, "Erm if you say so", "you wanna erase my memory so I cant report you for entrapment", he counters, "Oh good idea, should i, Mistress?". "You might take out the parts Hilda object..." I say as I watch Xerx get into work. She presses him towards the wall, "Ok, ...paco...stay where you are", he whimpers back, "Noooooo! dont hurt me". Xerx calm as always "Yessss, It dun hurt ....much". "Are you sure??" he is shrinking as xerx gets ready and pushed her hand onto his back "I am to 80% sure, now dont whine".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Xerx fist pressing against his chest, "AAaaaaa...that really hurts!!". "Come ooooon didn't even do anything yet" she say as her hand passes into his chest, "Gawd" she whimpers and looks like she is going to vomit all over him. Never seen her like that before. "Its full of bugs and spiders, its a junkyard in here." I asker her "He lost it?" my mood goes down "Well I would say something put a mixer in it and messed it up." what did she mean with that, but most importantly "Can you fix it? And how?" my worries for my friend of what left of him obvious. Xerx concentrates and despite the state of his mind digs into it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Hmm im digging deeper..." a brief pause "oh here, you where right...he liked it" she can't keep from giggling "ho geeeze blood. somehow he is full with visions of blood ....but no inde". I reply surprised "Someone stole Inde?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No the soul itself feels like indes still, but something messed so terribly with his mind that its not recognizing itself." she tries to explain my question is as simple as it's clear "How do we heal him?", my eye beg to Xerx to have a solution, "I feel though....hiding, fear of getting caught I dunno, its not a soul thing, its...well I would say more mechanical...maybe chemical..."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8129001371239997225-776086960687463969?l=thewintermarket.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/feeds/776086960687463969/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8129001371239997225&amp;postID=776086960687463969' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/776086960687463969'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/776086960687463969'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning-part-v.html' title='Blood poisoning, part V'/><author><name>Nadine Nozaki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16279715798713388028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05697907233149537443'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129001371239997225.post-5864901019971325603</id><published>2009-01-17T01:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-17T01:21:00.381-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Xerxis Rodenberger'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malkavian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Independence Shippe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='role-play'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nadine Nozaki'/><title type='text'>Blood poisoning, part IV</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Third part of the Blood poisoning, &lt;a href="http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning.html"&gt;part I&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning-part-ii.html"&gt;II&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning-part-iii.html"&gt;III&lt;/a&gt;. When we start Nadine and Xerxis are interrogating inde, not yet knowing his identity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If his madness about yellow submarines was funny a second ago. It stopped. I take a step back as silent as the man, his eyes closed hard holding his breath face turning red. This is bad, what happened, what will Hilda say. My brain fills with questions, I hear Xerx asking eagerly "Do we know him, Mistress?". The man cant hold his breath any more and whimpers out a cry for help, "i'm gonna turn orange!!" Xerx outside not having seen the man,  she is almost bouncing to see who it is, "Who is it?". Take a form step towards the door, gives Xerxis the order to let me out. The man turns behind me as the cell door locks with a clank. Xerx order him to turn and then she catches a glimpse of his face. "Cooooool we got Inde".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "I'm gonna be orange", Inde starts to cry.&lt;br /&gt;- "Noooooo! its our blood not the air. no one turned orange anyway. I mean not our blood, the blood in the pool. You didn't drink from the pool, did you?" Xerx takes charge my brain still occupied on what to tell hilda. I wisper to Xerx, "Hilda kill me if she"&lt;br /&gt;- "i didnt even get into the city before i was abused" he replies shaking his head. As i tell xerx, "I found him by the door".&lt;br /&gt;- "Abused?"&lt;br /&gt;- "she exploded me", he replies waving his hands at me. walking nervously around outside the cell.&lt;br /&gt;- "I arrested you for lieing. What are you name?"&lt;br /&gt;- "i was telling her the truth, i'm Paco Pablo"&lt;br /&gt;I shake mu head at him, a sad expression in my face "No your not..." seeing a friend like this hurts, badly.&lt;br /&gt;- "i am Paco Pablo", he is sure of him self, something is really wrong.&lt;br /&gt;- "explooded?" then she turns to me, "you blew him off?"&lt;br /&gt;- "i was just standing there and then BOOM!! and i'm on my back in cuffs"&lt;br /&gt;- "I think he lost it. I distracted him with one of these" I get a dynamite stick from my belt and show Xerx.&lt;br /&gt;- "Oh, he is plem plem. I think we should better take him to a hospital. Or a psychatric clinic"&lt;br /&gt;- 'see she admits it, she abusive' he adds with raised eye brows.&lt;br /&gt;- "Well this is not really abuse when Mistress tricks you......"&lt;br /&gt;- "entrapment!!" he screams.&lt;br /&gt;- "abuse is what does with me w" she goes silent a second, and then continues "ok another sorry. Yes entrapment is part of the police work"&lt;br /&gt;- "No, BASTARD" he screams, I can't really think we have to do something.&lt;br /&gt;- "Speaking of abuse. If you give him my cage again.....may I then at least play with him a bit?", Xerx asks me.&lt;br /&gt;I look inde over my eyes goes down a little, "I think he liked it."&lt;br /&gt;- We have a better lock now.&lt;br /&gt;I can see the face turn red on inde, his eyes flickers and goes down, "'that doesnt mean i liked it".

When we start Nadine and Xerxis are interrogating inde, not yet knowing his identity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Why did yo have the gas mask?" I stare at the man.&lt;br /&gt;- "I told you that too, I heard there was a contamination of some kind in the city I'm just being careful." This is definitely a lie, or at least a lie to some part. &lt;br /&gt;- "Careful form the angel dust?" I look at him and try to feel his reaction to angel dust.&lt;br /&gt;- "Well its not the air that is contaminated. You don't need a gasmask." I hear Xerxis add, not sure I liked her to share so much information at this point.&lt;br /&gt;- "I've never even seen angel dust, I wouldn't know what it looks like" he tries t9o get him self out of it.&lt;br /&gt;- "But you knew it was angel dust"&lt;br /&gt;- "no you told me"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I say this my hand reach down over his underpants, I let my finger into one of the rips, I feel the tear betting bigger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "no, no clue at all.." I see his eyes widening, and is there not a small red colour below the mask, I need to take the mask off him soon. But when I need him to fear again. While grabbing his manhood throw what ever panties he have on I ask. "and you choose a Gas mask and no clothes?" He is back to mocking me with his answers, "I'm wearing clothes, you're aware of that aren't you?" He really like to call ripped panties and a feather boa clothes. I hear him gasp the grip on him having the intended effect. "I bet you was here to release something in the air, like angel dust", he almost scream back, "Noooooo! i'm peaceful i dont wanna hurt anyone". I look into his eyes, "So you not mind me searching you then.", his response is what I like to hear "do i have a choice at this point?" he finally understood, do as I say in the only way out. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Take his shoes first, and then we dispose hims. These colorful things are no doubt precious for him" good thinking girl. She addresses him, "You could just take the shoes off, Mister."&lt;br /&gt;- "i like my shoes, and besides i'm cuffed and dont wanna get a beating for moving", time to remind him who is in charge again.&lt;br /&gt;I grab firm around his ball, knowing what fear this will struck into his body, "Do is the officer say" I add to make him feel the seriousness. As my hand gets his ball he start to kicking his shoes off. Definitely the result I wanted.&lt;br /&gt;- "Wasn't that hard was it", I reward him with loosening the grip over his balls, massaging them, as I grab the gasmask. I see him closing his eyes as hard he can like a child trying to hide from the world, he have something to hide. Now it's time to drive him down the road of fear. I lean my body against him feeling him against my body making sure he feels my soft body. My lips almost touch his ear as is whisper "You not scared of me are you...." I can feel all his body being reacting in fear, he nods slowly at me, the hair on his neck rising. "You afraid to die?" I grab and start to remove the canister from the gasmask, each revolution slow, really slow making it feel like an eternity. He keeps nodding, as he could not do anything else. "You tell me your name". He holds onto the lie of "Paco Pablo", I add some pressure around the balls in my hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- "Should i go an dcheck mistress?"&lt;br /&gt;- "Paco, in the registry?" I ask her I notice her working on the pda.&lt;br /&gt;- "arrgh, please believe me i'm telling the truth"&lt;br /&gt;- "no, not in files. in non of them, no criminal, no citizen, nothing", so he lies for sure.&lt;br /&gt;- "then i've been erased, i'm right here" his lie comes a gain as taken from a bad movie.&lt;br /&gt;- "Where did you say you live? Do you have any ID card? and if not, why?" Xerx is starting to interrogate, I can relax a second and gives his ball some blood again, lets the canister from the gas mask fall the the floor looks up at him.&lt;br /&gt;- "i live in poppy fields with the dragonflies"&lt;br /&gt;- "Poppy fields? where should that be, please?" her voice as cute as ever. Inside me i can't help but to smile. I hear the man crying from fear, begging for his life, "i dont wanna turn orange. please dont expose me to anything unnatural" I can feel his all being consumed in fear, he if probably to scared to lie. But still nothing he says make any sense.&lt;br /&gt;- "poppy fields is on the other side of rainbow river. surely you've been on the rainbow river?"&lt;br /&gt;- "Nope, Are you living in fairytale land, mister?"&lt;br /&gt;- "if i am, so are you. youre right here"&lt;br /&gt;- "rainbow river, next comes the land of holes"&lt;br /&gt;- "see you've been there, that's where i got my shorts, if you know about the land of holes, why dont you know of the rainbow river and poppy fields" his blabbering start to get on my mind. I release his balls and starts to undo the straps of the gas mask.&lt;br /&gt;- "Because i am NOT lucy in the sky with Diamonds Mister. and I also not ride yellow submarines"&lt;br /&gt;- "yellow submarines? that's just silly" he must have lost his mind, I see him close his eye as hard he can scare of something.&lt;br /&gt;- "I don't believe him Mistress. He knows Wainbow river , but has no idea that you need a submarine to travel to the land of holes", I can hard keep my self for laughter as I remove the mask.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8129001371239997225-4131740888642358864?l=thewintermarket.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/feeds/4131740888642358864/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8129001371239997225&amp;postID=4131740888642358864' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/4131740888642358864'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/4131740888642358864'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning-part-iii.html' title='Blood poisoning, part III'/><author><name>Nadine Nozaki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16279715798713388028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05697907233149537443'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129001371239997225.post-3909598909727874348</id><published>2009-01-15T04:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-15T06:23:14.499-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Xerxis Rodenberger'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malkavian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Independence Shippe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='role-play'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nadine Nozaki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Second life'/><title type='text'>Blood poisoning, part II</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;This is the second part of &lt;a href="http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning.html"&gt;Blood poisoning&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luckily I have a shower at the police station, no way I would been able to take my self home. It been so much overtime since this terror attack on malka. As I get my self out of the shower I hear someone arriving, I can't take wrong on those foot steps and my mind fills with joy again. I turn around in the shower and there she in my vice chief Xerx, good as I step of of the shower and gets a warm smile and a hug I tell her "I love that but i need you with sacel and police uniform." I quickly dress and grabs her hand for a second of you as I drag her over to the cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even before we are down the man screams at me, "hey, lemme out of here", he notice Xerx following me in his deluded state of mind he asks, "or is this my cell mate? Cute". As Xerx present her self, "Hey! there, I Xerxis, and I'm police officer", his smile disappears a second. I hand my weapons to Xerx and order the prisoner stop step into the cell. "Stand back prisoner", I get a mocking response, "What?! how can I escape if I'm away from the door?" I feel all the good mood hugging Xerx gave me leave my body, I take up the nightstick and repeats clearly, "Stand back from the door", I hear Xerx ask "Why does he wear a gasmask?" I should have briefed her, what was I thinking, well to late. At least the nightstick have the intended effect and the man steps back, I feel Xerxis support in my back as go into the cell, the door closing with a loud clanking sound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again the interrogation starts all over, "Ok what was your name this time?", still lies, "I told you, my name is Paco Pablo, I'm innocent", innocent my ass i add for my self. I grab for the gasmask, he tried to evade me, I can see the tiny hairs in his neck rise and I feel the fear in my prey, good that is something I can use. His body hives with fear, and I notice the nipple rings he wear, lets see how he reacts on pain. I grab and pull in the ring repeating to him "So your name was Stupid Boy". I see his eyes flicker the body trebling, good he feels pain, why don't they just talk. I tell Xerx to get a syringe out and prepare to take his blood. I feel him panic in my arms, pushed him across the room and hard into the cell door. He screams in fear, "Noooooo! Holy crap!", and starts to cry. I press him towarde the door, wondering why he is familiar, "You talk now boy... No more lies....", still he lies, "i'm not lying, i'm Paco!!"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I feel him cry, time to change, time to confuse. I stop pressing him against the door, my finger run gently over his chest, feeling his body fight the fear and pain. With my softest voice I keep asking him, and i get something "i wanna go home to the poppy fields and run with the dragonflies" he sobs in front of me. Telling something I can believe in good, reward him. "That i did belive", my fingers lightly stroking his chest, it feel nice, I focus again on work. "So why did you come to malka to spread angel dust". I'm not sure if his response is a lie or not, "i dont know anything about angel dust". Time to bait him give him something to look forward to "You tell me who gave you the angel dust and I give you a good time here...".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"i dont know anything about angel dust", and then he adds like pleading for his life, "honest". That might be true, then he continues "i dont know any angels, and i dont do drugs" I get the feeling he lies again, "Now THAT i dont believe", i hear xerx add, my fingers gently trace there way down over his chest, I smile and look up to him leans my head to the side, "Of course you don't and they did force you" I feel him shaking in fear and confusion he is close to cracking. I can feel his his tense tummy under my fingers. I lightly almost like a lover strokes his belly keeping him confused.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8129001371239997225-3909598909727874348?l=thewintermarket.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/feeds/3909598909727874348/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8129001371239997225&amp;postID=3909598909727874348' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/3909598909727874348'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/3909598909727874348'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning-part-ii.html' title='Blood poisoning, part II'/><author><name>Nadine Nozaki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16279715798713388028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05697907233149537443'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129001371239997225.post-8622323458904329618</id><published>2009-01-14T04:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-14T05:43:53.462-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malkavian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Independence Shippe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='role-play'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nadine Nozaki'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Second life'/><title type='text'>Blood poisoning</title><content type='html'>&lt;h4&gt;Roleplay logs form malka&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Background: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;The blood pool in malka have been poisoned, the sample taken have shown that angel dust have been dropped into it. No one know who and why. We are running short of blood and d3MentiA Chief of Police, Nadine are working hard to find the responsible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a long day hunting for anything that could lead me close to getting the people that dropped the angel dust in the blood. Tired and with my feet hurting I come home. As I'm about to finally get a shower and some clean clothes on, walking tired into malka a stranger appears. A stranger impossible to ignore, dressed in or undressed in. I take in the order my eyes noticed, gasmask, feather boa, ripped boxers, really dirty socks and not the best matching sneakers. I lift my eyes again, shit more work passes throw my brain as I hear him say, "evening ma'am", I nod back a "Hi there". There is something familiar about them man. But what, while deciding what to do I deride to keep him busy talking. "Welcome to malka."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Thanks, i've never been here before. But I can hear he is almost laughing behind his mask. Finding it hard to believe him I try to size him up, I hear him self continuing calling him self Paco. I get the cuffs into my hand, the cold metal making me feel safe somehow, knowing I have the law on my side. I ask him to take the mask off, something he refuses. He looks strong, the small talk make me sure he is crazy. Dangerous for sure, and no backup around. Don't dare using the radio now, he is to close will hear. The panic button? No, I have to little, just a hunch. I have to trick him. My voice runs on professional, I hear my self asking, "You know any angels?" I get a lie back, "nope, no angels... I met a few demons thought".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember something, don't I still have the dynamite in my belt, yes it there. And the burner, still warm. Good, keep talking distract him. Ask something proving keep his mind occupied, "So you say your first time here, not been here fighting before?" Look like it worked, I hear the fizz, "no, I don't do any fighting, I'm a peaceful man", my mind adds yeah sure right, as I flip the dynamite towards the wall. He says "maybe I should go, you look busy here", shit explode, I count in my head, 4, 3, 2, 1, then as the explosion goes off, throw my self at him, I get his arms and while cuffing I presses him to the ground. The feeling of luck can't leave my body as he is cuffed without resistance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holding him down I start to search for weapons, "hey, get your hands off me, i didnt do anything" he tries to get out of the cuffs, I tell him not to move, stop to lie and hopefully this be over soon. He refuses to talk, "i'm not talkin'", and tries to distract me with the tail, darn lowlife, my patience if getting really low now, pulls his hair, and cuffs him to me, god he cant run, jail next for him. Never looks good to beat someone up in the street. He already scream for help and about police brutality, I pull him up, mostly by the hair, he know who is in charge now. I restart the interrogation, "Shall we start over again, What is your name?", he does prove he lies, hesitating and not remembering his name, "uhmmmm..what was the one I gave you?" first the second time now he remember his name, but decides still to lie. "Paco, that's my name" such a shame, "Paco Pablo", he adds, as if a repeated lie make me happier. We reach the corner into the square, quick look around no one around. Small push and he walks in the wall, "Watch your steps, be carefull, you might get hurt."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the bastard start to complain the cuffs are to tight as well. "these cuffs are too tight", "dont you have softer ones", what does he think lie to me and I take him on a nice picnic? I show him hard cuffs, if I press I should be able to get them three maybe even four steps harder. Only got two, maybe they was a little hard already. Well he know what hard are now. He keeps his stupid lies all the way to the jail, fuck I'm tired of these small time crocks. So it's overtime tonight, but first a shower. As soon he is in the cell I run for a shower and some fresh clothes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8129001371239997225-8622323458904329618?l=thewintermarket.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/feeds/8622323458904329618/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8129001371239997225&amp;postID=8622323458904329618' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/8622323458904329618'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/8622323458904329618'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2009/01/blood-poisoning.html' title='Blood poisoning'/><author><name>Nadine Nozaki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16279715798713388028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05697907233149537443'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129001371239997225.post-7170239703263511777</id><published>2009-01-12T03:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-13T08:23:53.862-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rezday'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Party'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Second life'/><title type='text'>RezzDay Party Thanks....</title><content type='html'>It was a great party, My R2D2 registered 55 of you coming there and I was IM and chat spammed for more than two hours.

The users.&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The argument your average ITPro more likely to be a WoW:er. &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;HEY I LIKE TO MEET NORMAL PEOPLE!&lt;/span&gt; Is there any?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;3 It's fun.&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Omg I have so much fin in SL, not sure where they been to miss the fun in SL N00B island?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;4. There is a point to it.&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if you don't spend 40 hours a week the teen's kick your ass. I prefer making my own point, if that is partying someday or whacking Vikings an other. I have no use in Blizzard telling my my goals...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;5. The community&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All SL is about community, you can even start to do anything almost with out others. The goal if you say so is the different communities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;6 Reliability&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes LL read and wipe, it's better but you need to fix this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;7 You can play it with your real friends&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know many that play with there husbands, wife's, however kids are banned. I also know many making RL friend forever in SL.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;8 It continues to grow&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah last month the price changed many island away, but as land and everything is made but the users. New exciting stuff pops up every day, not only when Blizzard decide you need to pay an other 500 SEK to get part of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;9 WoW makes a lot of money&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes playing WoW is expensive, is that good or bad?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h2&gt;10 It inspires genuine devotion&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Looking at SL Bloggs I'm pretty sure we are as devoted as WoW:ers maybe even more.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8129001371239997225-7522357805939890483?l=thewintermarket.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/feeds/7522357805939890483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8129001371239997225&amp;postID=7522357805939890483' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/7522357805939890483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/7522357805939890483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2008/11/top-10-resaons-wow-is-not-my-game.html' title='Top 10 resaons WoW is not my game.'/><author><name>Nadine Nozaki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16279715798713388028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05697907233149537443'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129001371239997225.post-3237617314195683057</id><published>2008-11-14T07:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-14T07:03:02.951-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='meme'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sexy name'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nadine Nozaki'/><title type='text'>N.A.D.I.N.E</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://sexy.namedecoder.com"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://sexy.namedecoder.com/webimages/heart-f-NADINE.png" width="240" height="180" alt="Nocturnal Angel Delivering Indulgence and Naughty Embraces" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://sexy.namedecoder.com"&gt;&lt;small&gt;Get Your Sexy Name&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8129001371239997225-3237617314195683057?l=thewintermarket.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/feeds/3237617314195683057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8129001371239997225&amp;postID=3237617314195683057' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/3237617314195683057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/3237617314195683057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2008/11/nadine.html' title='N.A.D.I.N.E'/><author><name>Nadine Nozaki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16279715798713388028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05697907233149537443'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129001371239997225.post-2964486824998191379</id><published>2008-11-13T03:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-11-13T04:05:32.561-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Blogger mix and match'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sl'/><title type='text'>Bliggers mix and match</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3285/2968260515_591063fd72_o.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 450px;" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3285/2968260515_591063fd72_o.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;This is a list of all the blogs in the bloggers mix and match, my article will soon come up at &lt;a href="http://shockwaveplasma.net/"&gt;shockwaves blog&lt;/a&gt;.

I get to write about something serious for a change.. and Nadine Nozaki's &lt;a href="http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com"&gt;The winter Market&lt;/a&gt; is who I got to be teamed up with! Writing about serious stuff isn't exactly what I'm famous for. &lt;a href="http://midcourt.blogspot.com"&gt;My blog&lt;/a&gt; usually covers the world of 1. "Me" 2. "Clubbing" 3. "Exploring" and that's pretty much it. The topic I've been assigned is: &lt;b&gt;"What have you learned about running your SL business and/or what have you learned from watching how Linden labs run their business"&lt;/b&gt; not a horrible set of topics if I ran a typical SL business or paid any attention to how Linden Labs ran theirs (from reading other peoples blogs there appears to be some question as to if LL actually runs their business or just lets it drift from crisis to crisis.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess the closest I can do is talk a little bit about how to run a business based on my observations of how I've seen other people do it. Umm. So.. ok. Maybe I shouldn't talk about that either.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well.. I guess that leaves me with what I've ADVISED people to do when setting up or tweaking their SL business. (I get asked to take a look at new clubs from time to time. And on occasion even get asked a serious question.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recommend new businesses start out doing a bit of competitive analysis. (btw.. this is called a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWOT_analysis"&gt;SWOT analysis&lt;/a&gt;) I suggest that from a marketing standpoint they start identifying their strengths and weaknesses relative to specific competitors then taking a hard look at the opportunities and threats that exist in the market they have chosen to be in. I usually suggest they look at the market in broad terms as not just the other businesses that are direct competitors to them but anyone that is or could satisfy the basic needs their business is addressing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The core financial decisions I usually leave to them to unwind (having not bothered to take apart Linden Labs server rates) but I do encourage a new business to carefully review their market and decide just where they best fit relative to everyone else. And I always recommend people talk to and befriend others doing what they are doing. (even competitors can be share basic information.. such as business ratios.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The other question that sometimes gets thrown at me is about the branding of their enterprise. This is somewhat easier. Each of us in SL is essentially a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand_management"&gt;brand manager&lt;/a&gt; for our avatar. How clearly we project an easy to understand "image" is reflected in how quickly other people recognize us when our avatar enters a room. The secret to managing a businesses identity is like that: clarity and simplicity. Start by being known for something, then as you grow, try to keep close to that original central theme.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok.. so.. um.. an example maybe.. for me..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess the closest thing I do to running a business is my blog and my famous money-losing bday/rezzday events. (btw.. This isn't a full SWOT analysis. Just a taste.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To my knowledge no-one else is putting on monthly parties open to everyone.  A key strength is basing the parties on Bday/Rezzdays – everyone has one, we all love celebrating them. A key weakness is that they are usually celebrated amongst friends more than among strangers. An opportunity was the idea of a easily promoted monthly regularly scheduled event. (since the competition is regular club events, private events, and special events on irregular schedules) And a threat is that of course anyone can copy me (they just can't copy "me".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My blog is just fluff with an occasional seriously written post.. lots of pointing out the genius of the great people I know (their blogs and stuff), and great things in SL to go explore. (the fluff is actually branding messages about "me" cleverly disguised as entertainment)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Costs for events are staffing and promotion. Period. And all my costs for events and the blog are measured in time even more than in dollars. (Venues are not a big cost factor due to my moving them around month to month and due to every club desiring greater traffic.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Branding issues. Well.. I know a lot of great people that are lots of fun to go to a party with. And.. ahem.. I like to think I'm kinda fun to have around too. All my events and my blog are strongly associated with me and my image. Not so much to flog my ego as to consistently tie my blog and the events I associate myself with to a central image.. in my case: "me" (and "I" am also a unique competitive advantage unduplicatable by anyone who'd want to try to copy me.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So.. that's me. What's your business and brand all about?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jordyn Carnell, "JC"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://midcourt.blogspot.com"&gt;http://midcourt.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or &lt;a href="http://jordyncarnell.com"&gt;http://jordyncarnell.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8129001371239997225-324001591105190652?l=thewintermarket.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/feeds/324001591105190652/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8129001371239997225&amp;postID=324001591105190652' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/324001591105190652'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/324001591105190652'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2008/11/what-have-you-learned-about-running.html' title='What have you learned about running your SL business...'/><author><name>Nadine Nozaki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16279715798713388028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05697907233149537443'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rL2xTbIv-es/SRgLihodExI/AAAAAAAAAzA/017PDH7v3JI/s72-c/SWOT_analysis.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129001371239997225.post-4147005397733754029</id><published>2008-10-29T01:37:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-01-14T06:09:05.968-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malkavian'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vampire'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='role-play'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Second life'/><title type='text'>An extraordinary night in malka</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rL2xTbIv-es/SQinlrOdzCI/AAAAAAAAAkw/68Ub_9z_hwc/s1600-h/081029_002.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rL2xTbIv-es/SQinlrOdzCI/AAAAAAAAAkw/68Ub_9z_hwc/s320/081029_002.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262640430282820642" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" &gt;This is a story from my roleplay life, to give a view of what my life is like.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My Grandsire Aeai and Elder Naline had given me some paper work to do, so I was sitting with Xerx on my roof, deep down in work. When I see many people I seen before coming into malka. Both the pack flooded in. I saw it going wrong, weapons being drawn, up I jumped. Telling Xerx to get ready and rush down, a big jump and I landed weapons in my hand next to the throne, Xerx still a little confused following behind me. I see my family in full fight with people I know is in the pack, I Michel a friend form the Brood standing there, I had to ask him if he was here to help us or not, his answer was " no, Nadine, I guess not". Sadly I had to turn my blade at a friend, over this I hear Karoline shout "Let's wipe out Malk pestilence!!". Somewhat surprised an other old friend here to kill me, but not time to think about it, I jump at Michel, he gets support of two more, that are now three on me and all old strong demons. I don't back an inch and keeps on hunting Michel with all my power, my mind focusing on the blood coming from his body each time my blade hits. Soon three strong demons get to much for me and I fall down on the floor. Slowly breathing and concentrating I let the blood in my body heal my wounds and craws back ready to continue my defence of the city. The outside attackers had really miss judged the malkavian defence will, and the healing power of our blood.&lt;br /&gt;I fight with great fury, but still the attackers are many, I go down a second time, now Hanna and Arpahel helping to heal my body, as soon all limbs start to react I'm back down and offering my self to the defence, hopefully hurting them I fall again, get a demon foot on  my back, pressing me down with the words "&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;stay down&lt;/span&gt;" something I really didn't intend to do, all my mind and body working to get up and back helping my family, with blood running throw my mouth I utter my despise for the demons lowering them to help lycans, Michel next to me again answer me with &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"I help the Brood, Nadine. I help my family. My Queen stands near you"&lt;/span&gt; his queen adds &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"You're the one on the floor. If you want to talk about lowered"&lt;/span&gt;. I can't hold back a giggle and as Karoline passes I use my strength to ask her, "you also help lycans", she bends down next to me and wispers, "That's your Malk Queens fault...she even not is worried about her own family why even does she not show up on the plate if she even is needed!" as if a single malk even would have thought about letting Mahrk getting even insulted with out offering our lives first, Karo should have know better she was once a malk, I could not longer hold back my laughter.&lt;br /&gt;Soon my limbs answer my body enough to craw away, I find Michel down on the floor, as my vitae have almost left my body, feeling weak form rebuilding my limbs I put my fangs into his body and drink drink my self strong again, but as I stumble to my feet i get a sword in my back and fall again. Michel crawls towards me tries to smile in his pain and as our eyes meet I hear his voice &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"We have to stop meeting like this, dear"&lt;/span&gt; I'm still surpriced to see his family helping the lycans, not idea that Karoline paid them both much to come and attack us. We both get on our feet about the same time. As I stumble up I look at Michel and to give him some warning I speak to him, &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;"Let me hunt you"&lt;/span&gt;. This is the start of a long duel between me and Michel for about 20 minutes we face each other all over Malka until he finally falls for my blades. I bend down at his side gives him a kiss and whispers "Just my work." Before I can explain more his Queen jumps on me, and I have to finish the battle against her. As we finished and drove the last of the invaders home, I can catch my breath for a second and look around, what a mess, this place really needs cleaning goes throw my mind. Tired and thirsty I pull Xerx close and sinks my fangs into her neck letting her blood revive my tired limbs.&lt;br /&gt;As I feel strong and ready again, my mind still tired form the fight a well known voice is heard all over the town, "I claim the Malka throne for me!!", Karoline had obviously lost all her mind, my brain was all clear before she had finished the sentence and I rushed to get her off Mah's throne, I'm there and throws my self blade first at her throat, Xerx is at my back but despite the help she pushed me down I hiss a curse at her, with the helping hands of my Xerx I get back standing I continue to attack in pure rage. Not feeling how she hurts my body. I notice her will falling back. I press on and she starts to run, behind the graveyard I reach up with her. Finding her chanting a spell, a portal starts to appear in front of her i push my sword thou her body and it collapses around my sword and falls into the collapsing portal, before I can push my self throw the portal that vanish before my eyes. I'm left standing my eyes focused on the blood of Karo on my sword not understanding how I defeated her.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8129001371239997225-4147005397733754029?l=thewintermarket.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/feeds/4147005397733754029/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8129001371239997225&amp;postID=4147005397733754029' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/4147005397733754029'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8129001371239997225/posts/default/4147005397733754029'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://thewintermarket.blogspot.com/2008/10/extraordinary-night-in-malka.html' title='An extraordinary night in malka'/><author><name>Nadine Nozaki</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16279715798713388028</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='05697907233149537443'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rL2xTbIv-es/SQinlrOdzCI/AAAAAAAAAkw/68Ub_9z_hwc/s72-c/081029_002.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8129001371239997225.post-4908241436370648167</id><published>2008-09-08T06:52:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-09-08T06:52:37.531-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Swedish Punk II</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nadine_nozaki/2839937430/" title="photo sharing"&gt;&lt;img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3015/2839937430_7b477791b7_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nadine_nozaki/2839937430/"&gt;Swedish Punk II&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Originally uploaded by &lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/nadine_nozaki/"&gt;Nadine Nozaki&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;What:  Swedish Punk II&lt;br /&gt;When: 9am Sunday 14 September!&lt;br /&gt;How: You Party!
