Another Friday Evening
Here it is another Friday evening and I'm feeling a little redundant.
Heather's good with computers and she has the top level access I have to work to get. Ramone's big on mysticism, and can, like, cut guns in half with his mind. Mitran's an A-1 hardcore demon-crackin' scary d00d from far away lands. Natalie can kill a vampire or demon using only her wrist and a toothpick. Dwane can kill all manner of beasties with his big guns (and may be one himself, I'm not sure). Dorian's tuned into the universal consciousness. Heck, even the zombie rates higher than I ever could.
I don't know what skills I really bring to the group. Sure, I wrote the program that trapped Molock in the PS2, but Heather could have done that. I dusted a vampire. Big deal, Natalie does that without even trying. All I've managed to do is cause problems. Still, I need to protect the rest from the creeping horror of the zombie before it eats the flesh of the living. Salt doesn't work. Holy water doesn't work. Garlic doesn't work. Stake through the heart doesn't work.
Which means my zombie-proofing of my room at mom's house is faulty. I need to read Xander's books about zombies to find out how you ward an area against them. Oh well...
I need something that sez "this is how I contribute." Computers are good, but covered. Pure mysticism is Ramone's bag. When we trapped Moloch, Xander did say "Congratulations, you're a technopagan." Maybe I should do that. Apply the scientific method to the dark arts. Hey, I could serreptitiously plant mystical booby traps on demoniac hard drives, keep a digital grimoire, master the arts of summoning, binding, and dismissal, and perhaps even one day develop an electronic seal over the entirety of the world through the internet to permanently lock the earth way from mystical attacks from the dimensional rifts/hellmouths.
Hey, that sounds like a good idea. When I get the first cyber-coven's IP address, I'll invade her ISP and see if I can get a log of visited IP's, including newsgroups, chatrooms, and websites. Putting a good seal on my personal b0x3|\| to protect it from demoniac invasion. That sounds like a simple thing. And perhaps I can build a device to disrupt demoniac possession of a person, robbing the demon of its supernatural powers, or perhaps even casting it out of the person its possessing.
That could be my bag. Building traps for monsters. And the T-100. I managed to find stolen plans for that glucose engine. I need to use the electronics lab to build the thing. But that's not important.
Oh well, the digital information network is calling to me. Must discover technomagic.
Monster Hunting Tip of the Week:
Holy Water doesn't work on demons. Or anything else except vampires. So keep your holy water, but be warned that it only has specific uses.
