Desmond Cusick's Diary

I stopped by Headquarters to bandage myself after my encounter with Magda. Whilst I did so, Jackson came in and insisted that I help him deliver some food, clothes, and toiletries to Babenkov. I tried to refuse, but I was too tired to keep up much of a resistance.

Ilse came in while we were down there. I played my part well; I don't think she suspects a thing. She assessed my wounds, bandaged me, and we set off on a quest born of her cunning mind.

We met up with Callisto and a man named Hicks, who is responsible for the recent bombings at Kings Cross. He is a mutant with the ability to control sound, which explains why the blast wasn't heard for miles around. Accompanied also by Jackson, we set off for the Slaver's Guild.

I never thought spray-painting a building could be so enjoyable.

We didn't get away completely unscathed. Muldoon showed up and blasted at Callisto with that elephant gun of his. It tore off half her face, but she survived and, in fact, regenerated every bit of flesh lost. She has a remarkable healing factor.

To celebrate, we all went to Hicks' establishment--Hell, located in Foul Bay--for drinks. Ilse indulged herself a little too much and challenged Callisto to a battle of dancing. Fortunately, we were able to coax her off of the bar before she made a fool of herself. Though I certainly wouldn't mind seeing her dance in private.

Callisto makes me wary, at least in the case of Ilse. I have a feeling that if I ever hurt the good doctor, I'll have a very angry bear-woman after my skull. Though I really have no intention of hurting Ilse, it makes my desire to keep my encounter with Magda all the more secretive. It's fortunate that I have no further plans to meet up with Magda.

Tonight was a very good night. It has been so long since I had so much fun.
