Well you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand.

Late afternoon, Sunday, August 30th


Been spendin' mosta m'time workin'ese days. Now'at Tez's stayin' at th'Doc's ain't feelin' like I gotta babysit'im s'much. Anyway, wuz gettin' t'th'point I wuz 'bout ready t'blow th'damn truck up rather'n spend another night innere. Even when we wuz t'gether fer real we spent mosta th'nights in m'wagon. Ain't'at's truck's a bad place, an'I know why'e's s'damn proud ovvit, but sure's hell don't wanna bloody live'ere.

So. Got a li'l more time. Been able t'getta bit more sleep, able t'work on s'more shit, earn a bit more cash. Sold some good shit t'somma th'marks; couple good curses, an abortifacient to a cryin' girl, poison t'a crazy-eyed man. 'nough at'll be eatin' well ferra good couple months. S'like I told Slaughterman; always a market fer what I got t'sell.

Fer now, though, workin' local-like. Grindhouse ladies mostly in needa what I got on hand. Somuvvem want more 'ffective anti-baby shit'an y'c'n get in th'towns. Somuvvem wanna keep somethin' on hand 'gainst any mark't gets too frisky. Somuvvem want a li'l flash t'go wit'ere acts. An' somuvvem....well, somuvvem I don't ask.

Daiyu needs a refill...don't always got what she craves, but I got some shit'at keeps'er quiet. Hate t'think what she's gonna do if'n we can't get outta'ere. Marguerite wants more ovva li'l enchantment I got, makes'er bleed durin' sex. Likes t'play virgin, she does. An' Parthenope wants a li'l more'a'er fav'rite insurance. No problem, gottit all. Stop by all th'girls, make sure'ey's good. Ain't my girls, but I help'em out, an' we look out fer each other. S'fam'ly.

Last stop's th'new girl, Lily. Ain't bought nothin' from me yet, but might's well check jes' in case. Rap onner door, "Hey, 's'Syl."

I watch her face and..oh my I think she's finally got it. And then she laughs and keeps laughing until I think she's going to choke. Well perhaps I just wish she would, which reminds me I do need to go get my Djinn back as well.

"Y'gotta be kiddin' me. Th'lady outcast by God 'cuz she wouldn't lay under'er man's now layin' under'em ferra livin'. Good thin' allose ladies't admired ya ain't 'round t'see'is. Be mighty dis'ppointed, I think."

Of course that is what she would think isn't it, intelligence no more keen than the complacent cow that she descended from, only seeing what's set in front of her. But I do find I'm laughing with her, or rather..at her and her sad assumptions. Much like Tez, I'm contented to let them be blinded by their own stupidity, they never see whats coming that way. Though I must admit I had hoped she would be something...more as I've always taken a particular interest in witches. Its unfortunate this one has displayed no more understanding or intelligence than her little god of a lover, though I will say she's definitely more of a man then he'll ever be.

"However would I be able to live with myself if they did find out," I say dryly, yawning. You'd think they would come up with better attempts at insults after centuries upon centuries of evolution.

"As much as I'd love to continue this stimulating conversation," I smile, "I have a date I just can't miss. Though when you see Tez, do tell him "you're welcome" for me? He'll understand," I grin, licking my lips. Then its my turn to laugh as my body fades and I leave the room and the building.

Lily has had her time to think on her friend Kent being the devil and the time has come to ask. Since sweet Zann has not come to find me, I'll go find her. Hide and Seek is one of my favorite games.

Oh, yeah, lookat'er. Laughin' wit'me, but she sure's hell don't like bein' laughed at. Not at fuckin' all. "However would I be able to live with myself if they did find out." she says, makin' sure t'yawn so's I see how li'l she cares. An'en comes th'dramatics. "As much as I'd love to continue this stimulating conversation, I have a date I just can't miss. Though when you see Tez, do tell him "you're welcome" for me? He'll understand." an' she disappears. Cute.

Shrug. Take m'charm an' herbs back. Tempted t'take th'money too, but decide t'leave it be. Y'don't study witchcraft wit'out hearin' a few tales'a what stealin' from gods 'n such getcha. Leave th'money 'ere....but ain't gonna be payin'er no more visits,'at's fer damn sure. An' thinkin' I oughta find Tez. Don't think I c'n chase'is bitch out on m'own. Mebbe Tez c'n help me roust'er.

But first...first'm gonna go back t'm'wagon. T'm'bed. An' lock th'bloody door. 'r go inta t'town'n dig Verdi up. Yeah. Verdi. Haul'er upstairs ferra couple hours. Goddamn bitch knows how t'put th'whammy on someone.
