Hi. It's Kitty.

[ She gives an awkward little wave to the camera. She feels ridiculously uncomfortable posting about this right now, and it shows; she looks anxious and displeased. But - ]

I know there was a bit of talk of having a birthday party for me today, but it's been cancelled. For...rather obvious reasons. So just - if you were going to come, do stay home. [ Then, with a quick attempt at some comforting levity: ] Spend the time you would have at my party finding a good cause, and then when all of this is over with, volunteer with them.

[ Okay. Her attempt at a smile fades, and then she continues on: ]

Anyway. That's not...quite it. There've been a few people who've gone. Simon Newton, for one, and John Mitchell. And just recently, John Mandrake. [ This last...She does not look happy about that. ] And I know sometimes people come back without memories, so if you find them back, and they've forgotten something, please let me know. I think - they might not know to contact me, if they lose memories, so I'd like to know if they return.

[ Translation: "Mandrake was my blood enemy, but now we're friends, and won't it just be my luck if he comes back forgetting that second part."

Her next attempt to shake off her gloom looks like almost a physical effort. She just about twitches like a cat shifting its attention. ]

Anyway. While we're avoiding getting each other ill, why don't we do something to keep our spirits up? Has anyone read those books about the vampires falling in love? Billy gave me one, and they are bloody ghastly, aren't they? So, go on, then, tell me about the absolute worst book you've ever read.

[ She looks down and gives an uncomfortable little shrug. ]

I should say that he's also a valuable ally, though. Once he's on my side. So regardless, it definitely is worth it to win him over.

There are few dangerous enemies that wouldn't make valuable allies as well. The question is if his potential threat as an enemy is greater than that he affords as an ally.

Well - I've had him as both an ally and an enemy. And I can say that, yeah. As an enemy, he's restrained and not cruel. And as an ally, he's courageous and good.

I thought you had once said he enslaves and subjugates others.

[It's not that he's judging, because his moral compass is screwed pretty much six ways from Sunday but you know. He wants to make sure she has her story straight and isn't too influenced by a friendship that may no longer exist.]

[ Well... ]

Yeah. Back home, he does. But it's clear that once you get him in a place where he can see that's not all right, he's perfectly willing to stop.

Is it not correct then that he is, until he can be brought to such a conclusion, a threat?
