x_snowvalley | Did some kind of holiday occur while I was away?

I am generally rather surprised to find they have occurred, so it wouldn't surprise me that there was some tradition where people hand their brain in at the door and behave like five year olds when the responsible adults are out of the room.

For those who have been paying attention, I have been out of the country for some considerable time. Partially undertaking duties related to Frost Enterprises and partially related to attempting to locate Monsieur LeBeau after his disappearing act in Sun City. I have not been successful. Monsieur LeBeau, however, has always been difficult for me to locate or read; something to do with a permanent case of ADHD and too much time in deep cover, I believe.

Amanda, I do not think he's dead. I am sorry I cannot offer more reassurance than that. There is - something out there. A taste? A hint? It may be psychic residue rather than presence, but all I can say is that it is sufficient to make me believe he is still on this plane of existence.

As for the other shenanigans that have occurred, I am speechless. Oh look, no I'm not.

Bishop, can I please be assured that you will be taking care to ensure that if Ms Carmilla Black approaches Snow Valley or the Brownstone you will escort her a sufficient distance away to ensure that she is safe from any harm? Considering, if she is found inside again, I shall be the one inflicting the harm, I will leave it to your discretion to determine what a safe distance may be.

Jake, I do not know what possessed you to think that providing a key to your apartment to a psychotic maladjusted teenage girl with a self-hate complex I can taste across the room as well as a penchant for violence and a lethal weapon at the end of her arm was a good idea. Considering the consequences of that decision, I presume that I do not need to point out that any further such decisions will be considered poorly in your next performance review.

To all those who work at Snow Valley who feel a desire to punch, molest, harm or defame their colleagues on an open journal system; if the urge to do becomes unbearable consider the following points before you undertake the action that you have decided is imperative.

At some point the colleague you are planning to harm will be protecting your back. Possibly from large and menacing mutants, Magneto, Sentinels, WarWolves or strange little psychic men who can make hotels do their bidding and attack you with a vacuum cleaner. They may be less inclined to protect you if you have recently assaulted them because you didn't like their taste in cake.

Secondly, considering the incestuous nature of this place, at some future point, you may wish to have sex with them. While it's possible for it to still happen, it's much less fun if both of you are afraid the other person may be going to bite some part of your body off during the course of events. Unless you are into that kind of thing and quite frankly, once in my life is enough, so please don't feel obliged to let me know.

If neither the thought of them having to save your wretched life nor the thought of fucking them into the mattress slows down your petty plans for revenge, then we have a resident psychotherapist who may assist you with your impulse control problems. While I have not been required to avail myself of Sofia's professional abilities, my understanding is that she is a truly talented and masterful purveyor of her arts.

If that still doesn't assist, come to me. I am willing to ensure that you will not be feeling the particular impulse for long. Do NOT make the mistake of assuming that psychic surgery is the only option I would consider.

Now I am going to go back to ensuring that you are all paid and that the electricity will be working when you come in to work in a couple of hours.

Emma
