 The streets are mostly deserted, except for national guard jeeps, vigilante mobs and rioters, and on the car's radio, Magenta only finds bland reassurances from the government that things are getting better and the nation is pulling itself back on track after the attack (although no one explains //what// attack anymore).
 ===== Casa DiCaprio =====
@@ Line 18: / Line 19: @@
 At Casa DiCaprio, Smith finds a strange man chilling on the lawn, and soon becomes his best buddy. Apparently, a roving gang has taken over the mansion and is now using it as their regular hangout; Leo is no more, having been torched in the backyard, but the gang is still hanging on to his terrorized Israeli girlfriend (let's call her **Bar**). Smith announces that he is running the place now, and decides to press-gang this gang into his army. He comforts Bar and asks her if she's ever considered a career as a Childe.
-As the entourage are settling in among the gangers, the cat slips back into the Umbra and tries to retrace the whole route from the terrified phone-call at the embassy, back to the person who actually gave the command to bomb it. She finds the dude, apparently on an aircraft carrier or some similar isolated location, and when she sends the image of his aura to Magenta, Magenta confirms that it's [[the Potter]].

+Intent on making their way to New York, and unable to learn much more about the descent of the nation into chaos with a thin veneer of martial law, they decide to set off across country in Di Caprio's Winnebago. Smith asks Bar if she would join them, and she agrees. He also recruits the first friend he made among the gang as a bodyguard, and with the two as daytime drivers, the whole retinue sets off.
+===== Bad Old Days =====
+The travel across the country is relatively uneventful, although there is a growing sense that things are fucked up not simply in physical but also on metaphysical levels.
+While stopping to loot a gas-station somewhere in Oklahoma, they run across an old-timer who tells them that not many people travel around "these days" and who doesn't remember a president later than [[wp>Ronald Reagan|Ronald Reagan]]; from his story, it seems like the "trouble" started with the cold war warming up, not a wave of terrorist attacks.
+They also notice a sudden shift in their Winnebago as its model deprecates by 20 years overnight.
+Approaching New York, they take a detour to [[Sisko]]'s mountain, now visible. Leaving the childer with //strict instructions// not to drain Bar and the bodyguard, Smith and Magenta (with the invisible company of the invisible Cat) make their way up to Sisko's house. There's someone inside, and while Magenta walks in through the front door, Smith sneaks in through the upstairs window (have Wakizashi, will Ninja).
+The stranger is a vampire who introduces himself as the count, or rather the Comte, specifically the Comte de San Germaine; Magenta recognizes him as the vampiric supervisor who gave the order to wipe out the lab in Gloconda, Illinois.
+They engage in some oblique information trading, and Magenta is quick to threaten his life. However, I recall nothing of the conversation as I was in the agonizing throes of gastric distress.
+Beware Chinese take-out.
+Take-**OUT**!
