Hovering delicately between life and death - Vector - 5/3/06

**Malphas**

May Third

A satisfying end to what had been a frustrating evening. Those accursed Ethereals chanced upon my choice humans and, perhaps in an attempt to weaken me, or quite possibly simply out of spite, secreted them deep within their dungeon beneath Rawlins Corner.

A pox on their transparent hides, and on their sensory code that somehow allows them to detect me! I'd have gathered my brood to destroy them, but the thought of sharing such delectable morsels nearly made me weep.

And then it struck me. Humans! There are those with a modicum of power who work for the Merovingian, and the more intelligent among them hold me in some awe. They are often distasteful when allowed to move freely, but in this case, I had not the luxury of finding another alternative, as time grew short. The Ethereals would certainly not know how to keep my snacks preserved in their delicate stasis, and they would soon spoil.

Finding suitable human assistants required sifting among those running about the city, trying to identify the least annoying. Fortune must have assisted in my selections, as they gave me surprisingly little trouble. Predictably, another attempted to follow us. I believe he learned the folly of such an attempt.

Of the Ethereals, the less said, the better. Cowards and weaklings in battle, they fell before us quickly. After some disorientation in their maze-like tunnels, my senses detected the spoor of my stolen goods, and I found them hidden in a small room, still reasonably preserved.

Ah! To sate one's appetite after a long fast. It revitalized me. For dessert, I led my humans to the Ethereal leader, and summarily dispatched him. In exchange for some trinkets, the humans seemed happy with their lot. We parted...friends? Too strong, perhaps. At least, then, satisfied acquaintances.

Wow. That is cool. I want to go there. :smileytongue: That giant hole in the wall wasn't there the last several times I've went down to take out the Ethereals.
Good Stuff Malphas!

While I may be a fellow associate of The Merovingian, I cannot abide by blood drinkers, including you Malphas. Parasites that feed off of others in such a horrid and depraved manner. Taking, but never giving. The anti-thesis of life and kindness.

Pity you did not go out with Invalesco.

Congratulations to the 3 for having the chance to participate in this unique mission, and for succeeding in it.

That looked like so much fun! SMILEY

I've never had the opportunity to meet you Malphas... or should I say put a stake in your chest? All in all... you ARE ONE UGLY **bleep**. Perhaps I could rearrange your face to look a little more... appropriate?

TPNS Commander,

Woodgrain

Malphas. Perhaps the voices of our mind, riddled with delightful treats for your delictation, could be sucked away by your toothed kiss?
