In an effort to not write the second volume of Bloodhound I have completely outlined the second volume of Bloodhound.

...and some of the third.

"I'm gunna go for a walk while it's still cool out!"

Brain: "I know what happens next but if you don't sit down right now and write it I'll forget forever."

Two hours later.

It is over 90 degrees out.

...maybe I'll just take a nap.

I've never actually seen them in motion. Surreal.

I was looking for something else entirely, but this fits.

These stupid vampires woke me up at 2am to insist that one of them, "wouldn't say that."

So I am awake now. To fix a line in a chapter I just finished.

And I know...I know...they will make me keep writing.

I belong to these men now. Tell my family I love them.

Urd: Go, get the horses!

Lest Karr: We don't have horses, my lord. We use cars.

Urd: Since when?

Lest Karr: For two hundred years, my lord.

Urd: Then, get the cars.

i wish the Red Cross would stop promising $5 Amazon gift certificates as donor rewards when they never actually follow through.

i don’t need to be bribed to donate blood, and five dollars wouldn’t be enough to compensate me for my trouble if I did, but when you promise me five bucks for something i would have done for free and then don’t give me five bucks i wind up feeling cheap and used, rather than community-spirited and generous.

and that’s not a vibe that’s conducive to your business model.

even more “stupid vampire/blind as a bat” notes

1) How they met: Minnie was visiting the village one day, having recently needed to move from her last home as the people chased her out when they found she was a vampire. She’s not really upset or anything, happens a lot, just chalks it up to a misunderstanding.( A misunderstanding that involved torches and pitchforks.)  As she walked around the village, the parasol she was using to block out the sun is blown away by the wind! Oh no!

Meanwhile, Master Mickey is out on the town, needing to find a fourth maid. The last maid quit when she found out he was a vampire. Again, he’s not terribly sad or angry, it was just miscommunication. (Miscommunication that involved screaming and throwing a cross at his head.) That’s when he sees a parasol floating in the wind. Curious! He grabs it, and that’s when he hears a sweet little voice calling out, “Oh, my parasol~!”

As one can expected, they look at each other, bing, love at first sight! ... Before she swiftly grabs the parasol so she won’t burn to death. However can she thank him, brave sir? Oh, it was no trouble at all. There’s some held gazes and shy introductions... and then Minnie freaks out again because the carriage she rode to get here rode off without her - taking her luggage with it! She has no money or clothes! Weep. But Mickey, gentleman that he is, offers her a place in his mansion, free room and board for work! That’s too kind, Minnie insists, but Mickey won’t hear otherwise. Minnie silently made a vow to one day repay him for his kindness. Mickey made a similar promise to himself - MARRY THIS ADORABLE GIRL BECAUSE HOT DANG.

2) I remembered that Morty and Ferdie, Mickey’s nephews, exist and thought it would be funny to include for an “episode”/chapter where they come for a visit. And Mickey, who hasn’t seen them since they were born, thinks they’ll be sweet little boys he can dote on (and prove to Minnie that he’s good father material)

... Except they are nasty spoiled rotten boys who make his life hell. (Our mansion is bigger than this. And we have way more servants. Your food stinks. You’re boring.) Just as he’s about to pull off his ears, Minnie comes home, delighted to see the “little darlings”. And apparently Morty and Ferdie carry the family trait of “instantly smitten at first sight”, as that’s exactly what happens when they see her. But that doesn’t mean they stop being little hellions, hiding behind Minnie and whining that Uncle Mickey is sooooo meeeean. Now now, I’m sure you boys will find a way to get along with your uncle! Let’s go to the kitchen, I have lots of sweets for good children.

Morty and Ferdie decide that if they can convince they’re “better” than their uncle, surely she’ll want to come live with them! and Mickey finds himself jealous of all the attention Minnie gives to the boys, doting on them every hour. Minnie, of course, has no idea how the boys feel about her or what everyone’s doing. The “competition” goes to ridiculous degrees, including the twins trying to prove their superiority by how fast/high they can climb, but it does wrong, and Morty falls! Minnie catches him, and in that instant, Mickey, Morty and Ferdie realize how selfish they’ve been. They’re family, they should care about each other. Yes, from now on, they’ll work harder to understand each other, as uncle and nephews...

... And then Minnie notices Morty got a little scratch from the fall. “Aw, does that hurt? There there, pain pain go away.” And she kisses his cheek. “Does it hurt anymore?”

“..... NO IT STILL HURTS MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN JUST TO BE SURE-” and Mickey and Ferdie decide FUCK THIS FAMILY SHIT GET AWAY FROM MY WOMAN

OK SO THIS VAMPIRE CALLED VLAD SOMETHING SHOWS UP AT ALLY’S HOUSE.

I ignored him and put Ally to bed. BUT THEN HE BREAKS INTO ALLY’S BEDROOM.

This vampire is VERY creepy. I hope Ally is ok.
