Dear Diary,

It was another strange day in court. The Tremere and I have an arrangement with the Brujah. I dare not think of the consequences but I feel it is the only way I can survive. Luke has been helping me with this world. My flat is small but I am slowly building my collection of books again although my library shall never compare to that of my love.

The news was entertaining. Last week the Brujah fought for their Primogen, attracting by the press. I feel the Prince was not best pleased.

But I have recalled how strange Luke was acting. He kept talking about Bagpuss and mice with guns who were apparently burying poor Andrew. Someone (Velvet I think her name was) did something to Luke to make him act this way. Tis surely a breach of the Elysium. She also made poor Bethen (the Toreador) entranced by the hair of another of the vampire, a Brujah called Tommy. It is certainly strange. Pink tips, blonde shaft with black roots. I don't think I will ever get used to this world.

I was introduced to the Prince today. And I saw the Malkavian Primogen again. He is strange. He stammers and talks to you but never makes eye contact.

And there are rumours in the news of a strange killer. People (mortals thank God) have died in their sleep in sheer terror. One wonders what will happen next.
