... I just... don't want to talk about it.

Things are just getting progressively weirder and weirder.
I dunno, I can't seem to come to grips with it all.
Everyone else seems to just be able to pass it off, with all their... sexual language. I wish they would stop teasing me.
I'm itching to go see Mary, I feel like I've barely scraped the surface of what's going on. I need to know more.
Grandma Chen has offered to teach all of us magic, but after all this stuff with Mary I'm steering clear of any of that.
I just wish I could get a good night's sleep... Ever since we found Mary tortured in that building I haven't slept a wink.
I have to hold out that tomorrow could be better.

Well I found out why my sister might have been a target for the Yellow Brotherhood. She may be possessed by a creature from another time called a Yithian (not sure of the spelling). They take human hosts and are incredibly powerful. It would explain alot of things, but it's still very hard to take in.

This gives us more questions about the Church of Revelations. Are they all Yithians? Or are they just very mystical and powerful people coming together to keep safe? It's hard to know.

Raphael's disappeared on some other business. We don't know when he's coming back. It's rather annoying having your leader disappear on us like that but luckily Cairo's assuming a good leadership role, but still keeping the group democratic, which I like.

I talked to Ian again as well, which was good. I shared with him our information, and I managed to get something very interesting from him too. After looking through the records of the inmates in the Old Town precinct during the last two years, everyone in the Young Dragon's and Fire Lotus gangs has been taken into custody for at least 2 weeks. The minimum recovery time for cyber surgery. It definitely sounds too suspicious to be coincidence. It also gives us the scary implication of the police being involved in this whole mysterious business starting with the delivery truck robbery. It's not at all comforting.

We now know where the Dimensional Shambla is, thanks to Maleko's amazing people skills (it was most definitely a surprise) and we've also found that he has a couple of humanoid helpers who apparently smell worse than awful. None of this bodes well.

Now I should probably make an appointment with Grandma Chen to learn some spells. It's all a bit weird, but with things like this you just have to take it in and move on.

I hope that Rachel's journal is keeping her distracted.

All I have to say about last job is thank god we're still alive.

Do you ever get the feeling you just slow people down? Whenever we go on missions I feel like I'm completely useless. Not only that, I'm damn clumsy. I can't even land a jump without hurting myself. Eh, I'm in a self pitying mood.

Haven't been sleeping well lately. I'm so worried about my sister and can't stop thinking about what's happened to her. Must do something to find her. I don't care what it takes. Although previous attempts to do things without the rest of the group noticing usually fails dismally. I just wish for once I wasn't so damn useless on my own.

I'm going to try and get more sleep.

So it would seem no matter how hard you try to get away from your family they still manage to come and bite you in the ass. I mean I thought my dad was a bit of a bastard but what he's done now is just... ugh I want to run over to Network 8 and strangle the bastard.
Talking about family, I'm really starting to wonder where the hell Mary has gone. I mean the last I heard of her was years ago, and she could be anywhere now, possibly even dead. I'm somewhat glad she decided to get away from my dad but that also means she has no-one looking after her. I guess she's what... 16 or 17 now, but she's still a child really. Man, I just wish there was a way I could find her.
I'm kinda glad my secret came out at work. Without their help I wouldn't be able to find out what the hell happened to Carmel and her controller. Who's body we still have somewhere I think, which is somewhat concerning.
I'm pretty excited about this blood sport story. If I could just get in there and get some footage, even if it was crappy, I could fuck up things for Network 15 or 14 or whoever the hell they are (they're name isn't even worth remembering) and also stop the whole thing getting legalised. Not only that, I could also get the upper classmen into some serious trouble for betting illegally. Althought then again, the police are so corrupt in this town it's not funny. If you've got money, you make the rules.
It worries me that people get so much entertainment from people cutting eachother open. It makes me feel quite squeamish. I've dealt with violence before but never as a sport for bored rich people. I think the fact they find it entertaining is more sickening than the violence itself.
Looks like my camera's going to be out of action for any work we do for a while. I shouldn't have filmed in that stupid mansion. I should have known my dad was watching what I've been doing. I've caused a whole lot of mess for everyone. And that's a good damn camera too. I can't afford to replace it. It seems I may have to start working for my dad again. I'm hoping that if I actually get this blood bath story I may be on my way to a new camera. We'll see I guess.
I wonder how Leon is doing. He hasn't been around for a little while. Hope he's ok.
