I thank you all for your concerns, but I'm doing fine.

I dont have any other clients currently, I'm only moving in like a chair/table and laptop to work as needed, and Im not moving out of my old place. Im just here to do stakeout work.

Oh, and it must be noted that the Super smiled for the first time since I've met him, I gave him my security deposit to this crap hole. So starts day one, and nothing exciting to report. No ghosts, strange activites from the tenants, nadda.

I wanted to apoligise for that last entry while I'm here. I'm just frustrated about all that keeps happening here. I didnt mean to use the newlywed wife's name either and I was gonna edit it, but I'm sure many of you read it already so the harms been done.

I hear yelling downstairs, sounds like her. I gotta go.

It sounds like you might want to concentrate on the Super. What you said about him smiling when you rented a room screams to me like it's something of interest. My hunches usually have something to them. Keep us posted brother.

You also might want to distance yourself from this woman. She seems to be distracting you and it could be bad for you in that case. Be cool, and be careful.

Mcvey,
I'm writing this from the airport in kansas city, mo I'll be in chicago late tonight. I know your frustrated. I'm a psychic sensative and would like to help you with the building see if I can "sniff" anything out. Let me know when you'd like to meet!

Again, thank you everyone for your words of advice and encouragement. I have been in this crappy apartment for about a week now and I still nothing new to report. It’s been the reoccurring problems of violence and short tempers and argument over ridiculous things. I’m still no closer to knowing what is happening here either, or at least what is causing it.

In recent news the Jazz musician friend is still hospitalized but in stable condition, and I’m getting now concerned with this new brute that lives on the third floor. He really hates my client (and for the life on me I can’t tell you why we would) and he already looks agitated enough with her to attack her. In doing some research I see he’s got a violence steak in his past stretching a mile long. I’ll have to watch him like a hawk.

I would like to take a moment and ask those of you who keep writing to me about the newlywed wife to let it go please. I’ll admit I am protective of her, but I’m also protective of my client. They are why I’m here.

If you’d ever met her, you’d be just as interested in her as I am. You just can’t help but admire her. I mean for all the uphill battles she has to face on daily basis, she still manages to brighten up everything around her like a ray of sunshine. She lives in a shabby apartment building, trying to make ends meet as best she can and rolling with all the punches life has given her, and a loser husband who’s no good for her!

I hear them arguing all the time since I live right over them, and it’s always about money. Money slips through his fingers like water and he spends more than the both of them can make together. She’s had to help make the ends meet by becoming a topless dancer! Can you believe this crap!?!?! He’s basically forced her into exotic dancing just to keep the household afloat! He’s tarnishing everything that’s good about her and dragging her through the mud! But don’t get me wrong, she is very beautiful and deserves to be noticed, but not like this!

Everything about her is absolute beauty! Her gorgeous and sparking blue eyes, her soft brunette hair with natural curls, her full lips that possess the most beautiful smile you’ve ever seen, the smell of her perfume that only heightens her magnetism even more, and her amazing personality…she is Aphrodite herself! DAMMIT, HE DOES NOT DESERVE HER! I DO!

I AM SICK OF HIM! SHE DESERVES SOMEONE WHO CAN TAKE CARE OF HER! SHE DESEREVES ME! I APPRECAITE EVERYTHINMG ABOUT HER! NOT THAT BASTARD WHO DOES A POOR JOB OF IMITATING A REAL MAN! IM THE ONE FOR HER! I WOULD SHOWER HER IN THE AFFECTIONS SHE DESERVES! I WOULD NEVER LET A DAY GO BY WITHOUT LETTING HER KNOW SHE IS THE GREATEST TREASURE EVER BESTOWED TO MANKIND!! I WOULD BE ALL SHE COULD WANT I WOULD BE ALL SHE COULD EVER NEED! I LOVE HER AND I NEED HER! I AM SICK OF HIS POORR TREATMENTT OF HERR AND ITS TIMEE I DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! ILL SAVEE HER FROM HIMM! I’LL TAKE CAREE OF HIM MYSELF! IT THE LEAST I CAN DO FOR KARENN! KAREN IS MINEE AND NO BODY ELSESS! YOU HEAR ME DIETY!? YOU HEAR ME WILLIE LONG! SEEKER! TABLOID HOUND! RON! STAY AWAY FROM HER!! SHE NEEDS MEE NOT HIM I WILL KILL THATT BASTARDMYSELFF I HEAR HIMM DOWNSTAIRS NOW, THATSON OF A BITCH ISS ADEADD MANN!! KILL HIM SAVE KARENSHEMINE!

Hmmm, intervention anyone? I think it's time to remove McVay from this place forcibly and show him how he's obviously being affected by this "anomoly". Anyone else up for it? I can be in the area pretty quick like.

Diety,
I could be in the area tonight McVay sounds like he might need an exorcism so if your willing to meet me at LAX lets go save this poor mans soul before he does something horrible.

I'll see you there.

As a specialist in the field of psychology, I cant help but feel I ignored this issue more than I should have. McVay was obviously letting out a cry for help and I should have answered sooner.

The man was ready to snap since the moment he started looking though a private residence for something that doesnt exist, and its finally happened. I will be heading out to LA shortly as well to assist him on the road to recovery.

Everyone, I want to apologize for my last post. By rights I should be locked up and I am very ashamed of what I intended to do and almost accomplished. I was so close to becoming the very thing I have been trying to protect these people from the last two months. I can’t even begin to explain what happened to me the other night, it's felt like a nightmare I couldnt control.

I do recall finishing my post with a frustrated rant at the end, then loading my revolver and started heading down the stairs to kill the newlywed husband. I was ready to take his life without any remorse or second thoughts about it, in fact it felt relieving to be doing so. But what happened next was a miracle!

Of all the people to run into in the stairway, it was my client! I can imagine she must have been scared out of her mind seeing me racing down the stairs with a gun in my hand and an evil glare in my eyes. But whatever reason or humanity I had left in me at that moment was just enough to stop me in my tracks and look at her. SHe was on her way to visit me coincidentally enough, and she just stared at me and the gun in my hand…with tears welling up in her eyes and softly said ”Terrance…not you too.” And she broke down in tears right there on the stairs. I have never felt a shame in my life like I had in that moment. I dropped my gun and knelt down to her, hugging and sobbing with her. I apologized over and over again and to my relief she replied “I know honey… it aint you that’s doing it”.

I’ve spent the last day or two at my regular home and invited my client with me. I had to get out of that building, but I couldn’t leave her there alone. I can’t even protect myself it seems while I’m there, but I will continue to protect my client the best I know how.

But I’m going back today. I have to go back. Besides my client needing to return to her home (its been her home since before I was born and she aint leaving it now) but I still have a job to do and now its personal. I’ve felt first hand what this supernatural presence can do and I’ve proven I can beat it; I’m ready for it.

To those who’ve offered to help, I wont deny your assistance any longer. But I have to tell you all that I can’t guarantee your safety in that building anymore than I can my own, potentially anyone can become a victim in that place. Feel free to leave a personal message and we’ll make arrangements.

Oh and Debunker, since the other night I have been questioning my sanity as well, but I can assure you I’m not crazy. But then again…don’t all the crazy people say that?

Hey now, leave Debunker alone, he's a bit misguided but he's a good chap! I still own him me life, perhaps here I can repay that!

'sides, I got stung by something the other night and the wound's started to turn orange and green so I think I may need to take some time off.

Orange and green? Were you stung by a Florida Gator's fan?

Hey Boys, this job is going to need a woman's touch so I'll be there shortly and with bells on (and if your lucky not much else )

Love and Licks!

You can count me in as well, I think I know what may be causing these issues but I dont want to speculate until I'm there. But if its what I think it is, then Ron's weaponry and steady aim may be very much needed! I would ask you to reconsider not coming out Mr. Caliburn.

I'm a few days travel from LA Mr. McVay, I advise you to stay vigilant and dont trust anyone in that building, your client could suddenly become just as dangerous and ill-influenced as you did. God willing no one else will suffer after we've all arrived.

Unfortunatly I can not make it there in person to help, however I will continue to give you what advice I can from here.

I am rather disturbed by what you are implying Huntress going into battle wearing nothing? Are you suicidal or are you a great deal tougher than the ordinary human being?

Well handsome, the nerd boys all refer to me as a Physical Psychic, the rest of the boys reffer to me as HOT!

As far as my choice combat wardrobe goes, I like to use my natural powers. You could my phaser blasts are set to "STUNNING!" But relax boys, I only use my powers for good, and I can be oh so good!

It's on now, jack. I warned that building before I left that I was coming back for it if it fucked with my boy.

Same hotel as last time, T?

Ron Caliburn wrote:...and so far I can't figure out what I can shoot in this situation...

The homicidal maniacs the building sends to stop us when we show up to kick its ass?

Ron Caliburn wrote:And for the record, it's now blue and a fuischa sort of colour.

You should stay and get that checked out, I didn't want you to sit out just because the opponent is hard to find.

There are five of us already, six if Debunker comes along to keep us straight, we should be able to take out one measly building full of mind-controlled slaves.

Actually Mr. Long, aside from being a traveling pastor and Demonologist, I am also a Psychic Healer. I will be more than happy to heal your ailment when I arrive Mr. Caliburn.

As far as the several of us being involved, don't be too cocky. The more I read of these posts the more I think I know what were up against, and it scares me.

MY GOD!!! ITS IN THE WALLS! I HEAR IT!!! THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE WALLS MOVING AROUND! KEEP YA POSTED!

I lost trying to follow whatever it was in the walls, but at least I know its still here. But the several agency members will be showing up between today and tommorrow and were going to resolve this thing once and for all.

Through the valiant efforts of the Lazlo society members and the will of our lord and savior, the beast has been slain; plunged back into the fiery pits below from whence it came.

I am no storyteller however, so I will not go into the details of how it all happened. I will leave that to the other members of the party involved. I will say the Terrance McVay is on bed rest as he suffered a serious injury and the gift of healing the lord bestowed upon me can only heal so much at an instance. He’ll write when he is able to.

I want to tell you all of the Lazlo society that every one of these individuals should be commended. We dwell in a shadowy dark world few can accept much less defend, protect and survive in. The bravery and valor each member displayed is what saved this day. Seeker, Ron Caliburn, Mr. Louis Cifer, The Huntress, Willie Long, Debunker and Terrance McVay are all blessings to mankind’s cause and I can’t thank them enough for their efforts.

And now a word of warning to you all. The demon we destroyed is a loathsome one. It feeds of the emotions of humankind’s lowliest instincts and feeds gluttonously. What was thought to be a possessing spirit at first was really much worse. If you see the signs Terrance did where people lie, cheat, steal, attack, injure or even kill one another over matters of greed, lust, paranoia, jealousy, addictions or wanton excess of pleasure, take heed; a Gormaglut has taken up residence. And where the Gormaglut goes, cruelty and decadence follows on a fast horse.

Pastor Greed wrote:I am no storyteller however, so I will not go into the details of how it all happened. I will leave that to the other members of the party involved.

I don't have much to tell. When we met at McVay's pad, I meditated while Mr. Fluffers watched the rest of us read, type, argue, and flirt. I helped Terrance get his flashlight when it rolled underneath the car while we were packing, and we were off.

We pulled up and Seeker did his thing while I reminded the building of my promise. Inside, Seeker told us he felt the presence was underneath us. Pastor told McVay to salt the air vents as Ron and Lou headed toward the basement stairs.

Then 'bangers came racing down the stairs into the lobby, brandishing weapons. Luckily, they weren't packing. I was on one side of the hall, with Debunker on the other side and Huntress between us. I started to talk them down, but I noticed they had the same look in their eyes as the skinny kid did last time I was here.

Then they reached us.

The guys I was fighting would drop from one blow, but it took a lot more for the others to knock one out. Huntress yelled something to us, then retreated. Debunker and I stepped closer to cover for her. I'd heard he was a psychologist, but damn, I've never seen a psychologist fight like that. Soon there were only a few left, so he went to check on the rest of the team.

I dropped the last one and saw McVay return. Before I could warn him, a guy had come up behind him and knifed Terrance. He tried running past me, but I swept his legs out from under him and punched the fucker in the face, droppin' him like a sack of shit.

I dressed McVay's wound, hoping the rest of the team was okay. Everyone made it out, and they said they got whatever was causing the problem.

Lazlo 1, punk-ass building 0.

Dont let Willie fool you guys, he was poetic combat in motion! By the time I got one thug down he had like 4 or 5. Then I suddenly had a flash of brilliance and remembered that old buildings like this place tend to have trap doors in the basement to the sewage maintance rooms (I grew up in a hell hole like this) so I took off thinking that what they were after might sneak through it to escape, but I left things well in hand...WILLIE YOU ARE A STUD, and dont anyone say different!

And all I can say about Debunker is that he certainly knows how to move it, I know from personal experience

Too bad I missed the action. Sounds like something I could really get into.

Glad everyone made it out!

The Huntress is yet again trying to peg me as something I’m not, please ignore her tall tales.

Willie, I appreciate your compliment. I've spent quite a bit of my youth in several martial art academies and then some training with remote masters when the family forced me on their adventures looking for some bit of supernatural nonsense.

In fact what I saw of your impressive combat skills I suspect you've had specialized training yourself, like that of the Shaolin arts. Would that be correct? I was surprised by this fact, your urban accentuations hide your specialized training.

And before the other members get their crazy stories in, I want it on record that absolutely nothing supernatural took place here! The thugs we took down were just hired muscle for the building superintendent to harass and terrorize the tenants he wanted to get rid off (in some cases killed them off and claim their possessions for himself under the deserter clause). But they are all behind bars now and justice will be served.

There was nothing in the basement save maybe a wild animal that escaped through the trap door (which was probrably how it got in there) as it was no where to be found when I got there.

Case closed.

Wild animals are still a danger, especially if they happen to be diseased. I recommend following up on this to see if anything related to animal attacks happens in the area.

That's kind of you to say, Huntress, but don't sell yourself short. Your form was excellent, I only dropped them faster because I'm stronger.

Debunker wrote:Willie, I appreciate your compliment. I've spent quite a bit of my youth in several martial art academies and then some training with remote masters when the family forced me on their adventures looking for some bit of supernatural nonsense.

And they found nothin' supernatural about the martial arts, right? It's just conditioning and proper energy control techniques.

I was practically raised in the Shaolin temple in NYC. (All those years of training made me the stud I am today.) I did join the Crips as a teen, but I eventually wised up and returned to the temple. Sifu Ko brought me with him when he founded a second US temple.

My "urban accentuations" (I like that ) are a relic from my rebellious gang years, but they come in handy sometimes.

They also get worse after I've been around my street contacts, or when students come to me after class for advice.

Good Morning gang, I'm up and moving around a little bit today and thought I'd check in. I'm still hoping to read what all happened in the basement from those who were there like Ron Caliburn, Seeker and Mr Loucifer, but Willie and the Huntress and pretty well all summed up what happened upstairs.

Oh, and remember Karen? I got word last night that Karen wasnt ever her real name. Her and her Husband were con artists, they were arrested the other day for attempted blackmail.

And a note to Debunker, this wasnt just a wild animal problem I can promise you that.

Willie Long wrote:That's kind of you to say, Huntress, but don't sell yourself short. Your form was excellent, I only dropped them faster because I'm stronger.

Please, you got a mean machine under your hood I'll give you that, but aint no one stronger than this here chicka!

The only way you'll ever be stronger than me is if you forget your deodorant one day
