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.

private;
Yeah. Of course you can.
private;
The reason I was kind of avoiding him was because-
...I kind of...have.
You know.
Feelings. For him.
private; 1/4
the
hell
this face for like
five whole seconds ]
private; 2/4
private; 3/4
private; done
Honestly, I feel as though I ought to have guessed that.
private;
private;
Good lord. ]
Well - how does Teddy feel? You might have some sort of...
[ Oh, what's that phrase, the French one - She can't remember, and grunts in frustration. ]
Equal relationship amongst all three of you.
private;
No, no, no no no, no.
He's hurt and sad but I mean, nothing happened, so it's okay. I don't think anything that involves the three of us, also, Mandrake is barely ready for a relationship with one person, a relationship with two might very well kill him.
private;
Oh, I don't know. He might actually be more comfortable with it. Those sorts of things - commoners don't really do them, but according to the papers, at least, magicians are always getting in and out of triangles and squares and shapes of all sorts. It's all really quite decadent.
private;
[Seriously.]
Besides, I can't-
...I can't ask Teddy for that.
private;
What are you going to do, then? It's really not fair to just avoid Mandrake all the time. You're just about the only really good relationship he's got in his life, and he needs people like that in his life. To be kind to him.
private;
I can't really do anything else. You're right. It's not fair.
private;
So: ]
At the very least, you know you've got to be honest with him about it. He'll find a way to twist it into thinking you pushed him away, otherwise. He'll use it to justify his own unfitness for friendships.
private;
[There's silence. Billy isn't afraid of him being homophobic, he's afraid of Mandrake reciprocating.]
Anyway. He's gone. If he comes back, I'll.
I'll talk to him.
private;
[ She looks down. For a moment, her expression is tinged with genuine regret. ]
Well. That's all a bloody pity, isn't it?
private;
[A dry kind of laugh.]
That's all it took.
private;
Well. I'll not hold it against Teddy.
private;
And-
I'm sorry that he said those things to you. I really am.
private;
[ Oh! Right. Teddy. That fight. Kitty shakes her head and brushes her hand to the side. ]
No, God - that was ages ago. Honestly. I was terribly cross for about a week, and complained quite a lot, and then felt better and forgot it.
private;
God, but I think you would actually get along with Tommy. And Eli.
private;
I've got a bit of a record for getting along with people even after we've had tiffs. Are Tommy and Eli sweet, then?
private;
private;
Well, I must say, I'd probably get on a bit better with Eli, then.
