No guts, no glory.

Well, New Teeth has followed up with me, and a handler is on the way to get the child educated in our ways, as well as formalize his assignment.

Like me, he has established a blog. It shows a sense of daring, though his writing style reflects his age clearly. His age, of course, not being the actual 17 when he was turned, but also includes those years as a denizen of the night. His education remains incomplete, as I doubt he was able to show up for homeroom that morning after he was embraced. If you wish to follow his escapades, you can find his blog at: http://www.liamfaust.blogspot.com/ .

"Mainstreams." That's what he calls myself and other vampyres that work the aspects of our world properly. He lays claim to the name "Liam," which I don't doubt. Perhaps he is just the person we need - a vampyre that walks in both the "proper" realm and the dirty underground that tends to exist.

Those of us who use time, education, and ingenuity tend to be exceedingly wealthy. Our reserves make Bill Gates look like a pauper. Thus, I during my calls with the parties running Washington State, I suggested that if Liam is to put his head literally in the line of fire, he should be rewarded well for his efforts. The prices I proposed run between $20,000 and $50,000 per head Liam brings in. That would be real heads.

I plan on having no further contact with Liam unless his assignments bring a need for someone of my profession. Since the embrace brings different abilities to each vampyre, along with the standards of greater speed and strength, I don't know how successful he'll be. I do, however, wish him all the luck in our darkened world.
