I've been having kind of a crappy day.

So let's get on with the pup updates, shall we? Hopefully it'll cheer me up.

shadow_anna - Anna Sheridan

Anna is still hanging out at the Flamel Estate with Draco, Galen, Mike, KITT, and Zephyr, though Zephyr has been hanging back. She's going to go try to draw him out a bit later. Right now she's sitting in KITT with Draco, having overexerted herself a bit trying to help cure Draco of the nasty Centauri poison.

Time and space having no meaning in TM (and how much more of a mess would this be if they did?) Anna's also visiting with Londo and Vir on Babylon 5. She brought a catnip mouse for Vir's cat, Duck. And she has plans to visit with Carolyn via telepathic contact on C's part. Has become great pals with Carolyn.

Anna is also chatting a bit with Kitty Pryde, who made an amusing comment about redheads that Anna couldn't quite resist commenting on.

starlight_mage - Galen

Galen is with Anna and the gang, ignoring the Apocalypse Box, and having ~~stormed off~~ left Morden's, where he was ~~snarking at~~ visiting with everybody's favorite Shadow Agent.

darkest_magic - Bellatrix Black Lestrange

Bella is hanging out with her favorite nephew, Draco, listening to him gush about KITT and watching him open the heaps of presents she brought him from her last trip. She's also ~~stalking~~ chatting with Kitty, too. Kitty seems a bit scared/freaked out by this, though Bella doesn't know that, the entries being locked from her and all. It amused me though. She's also keeping her eye out for that nice Evan Kaspraov fellow, whom she rather likes. And also keeping her eye out for anyone else she might be able to manipulate, use, or seduce to her cause somehow.

irina_derevko - Irina Derevko

Irina is having a very, very strange time of it. Her L.A. apartment was somehow broken into, she was drugged, and her Nazgul ring was stolen by none other than

mr_morden. Morden left her a strange little clue- a business card for Holy Evil Antiguties, which later became a business card for The League of Extrodinary Evil and other such things. On the other side someone had written "We'll see you again, Ms. Derevko."

Irina is, in her own cool, collected ex-KGB spy sort of way, freaked out. Someone got past her security, which shouldn't have been as easy as it seems to have been, got the jump on her and slapped a tranq tab on her without her even waking up long enough to fight them, and then they stole her ring. She's pretty much figured out that she's better off without the ring, but now she's working on an internet search to try and find Morden and his cronies. Without, of course, knowing that it's them she's looking for.

She keeps getting odd little messages from Morden, obscure hints. One of them suggested she search for 'Shadows'.

And because I am a sick, sick individual, what Irina found was a Babylon 5 fan site. She's very confused, poor thing.

I'm working on a short fic wherein Irina calls Jack Bristow for research help, moral support, and maybe the assurance that he doesn't think she's crazy. I sort of figure that if the Alias gang can deal with the oddness of the Rambaldi stuff, Jack can maybe- maybe deal with this. But it's going to get interesting.

What is Irina doing in L.A.? Is she crazy, if for no other reason than coming back? Will she find Morden and his friends? And what will happen if she does?

Only one way to find out. Stay tuned.

I am vastly, vastly amused by Irina's storyline at present. It's getting weirder every time I turn around, and I love it.
