Occam picked up one of the many tomes that lay about in her home that was perched high in the branches of a huge Devil's Ear tree. Lately, her nights had been spent in the seclusion of her home with no other company than the occasional Ent who shuffled thru the gate marked with double scythes and rooted itself on her property. The floors were strewn with books, scrolls of ancient texts and various photographs of various vampires doing various things. Tonight she found herself reading a book that related the history of her clan, The Ferrymen. Sinking down into the comfort of her favorite chair, Occam opened the book to a random page, the words jumped out at Occam, almost as if they had been written especially for her.
Stress Relief
Hello my Ladies of the Ferrymen. Ever had a bad day? Wanted to beat the crap out of something just because of that horrid surge in hormones we sometimes suffer from? Wreak havoc and mayhem just for pure pleasure?
Are you pissed at that special someone in your life? Your boss? Co worker? Teacher? Whomever?
I have the perfect solution for you
Her name is KALI_MA. She has inspired in me something that goes against my otherwise gentle and peace loving nature. So I have decided to become her shadow. She will NEVER see the light of
another opportunity to use her stash of weapons.
Dont waste your teleports, or your SOT's if you are not well stocked. And please.no crass messages...though you can tell her hello. So if you come across her in the city..give her a lil kiss and shove.

She knew the story of this one, this KALI_MA, there had been much ado over it all back in those days. There even sprang forth an Art Gallery Exhibit in the city exclusively devoted to the display of the woman in various death poses, each photo stylishly framed. The vampire had became a nightly task as she was kept at zero blood for months on end, A non rester, she was often seen stumbling towards the potion shops where the necromancers practiced their dark arts, emerging with the needed blood that would enable her to lash out at Lucius with vials of Holy Water. Before she was once again brought to zero by The Ferrymen.
Flipping the page, Occam read on and on about this strange and apparently very persistent vampire. Where had she come from? Her eyes of different colors scanned the pages looking for the answer to this question. Finally, she came across the story that had been told by Lucius. Occam's finger met with the page and traced the lines of text as she read quickly through the words, many of which she let slip by without consideration of their meanings; Lucius had a tendency to embellish, so if what was being told seemed a tad bit …. well, bullcrapish, Occam skipped that part. Finally, she came to the names KALI_MA and Heimdag, so she slowed her fingers pace to read;
(Lucius being the I )….......I loped into a local dive for a mug of wine and a cake. Heimdag was the big friendly brute behind the counter, …............. Suddenly a large crowd of prostitutes pushed their way into the Pub....... Heimdag got them their usual rounds, and they started their usual bitching. Suddenly, one of them stared at me and said:
“You! I am KALI_MA and I’ll kill you!”
Apparently, what soon followed was the woman lunging towards Lucius with a dagger drawn to which the Fae one responded with his shortsword in kind but with better aim. After Heimdag had deposited the bleeding woman in the dark alleyway behind the Pub, the two men laughed as they walked away.
Occam knew the rest of the story, she knew of the 4 month long assault on sanity that ensued, she knew of the formation of The Watchers, the special inner clan group who's sole purpose was that of watching KALI_MA as she watched and stalked and ranted at Lucius. She also knew how it ended in Feb 2004, an ending that saw The Ferrymen left without their beloved leader, Lucius. The vampire had had enough, his patience had been stretched and twisted into an unrecognizable knot, a knot that frayed and weakened before breaking in a resounding “fwat”. Occam read the words he had written;
Lucius has left the building. After four months of active resistance against KALI_MA's harassment, my last defenses against stupidity have just fallen.
With a solid thump, the book dropped to the floor at Occam's feet. Placing her hands firmly on the arms of the chair she pushed herself upwards, her back straightening as her long legs unfolded beneath her. She felt the vibrating quiver of excitement travel through her body. She knew this excitement was one that was brought on by purpose. A wayward strand of hair hung across the center of her right eye, dark against light, pale blueness bold behind the chestnut tress flashed into the night as she made her way from one room to another gathering the items she would need.
It was late when she reached her destination, Aardvark and 84th . The moon lay low in the sky, a thin crescent facing upwards towards the stars, it's yellowish glow giving off just the faintest of light. As she rounded the corner she saw her friend, Bamboo Ent, the treelike being had been a companion of Occam's for many years. Tonight the large gay tree with a gun tucked tightly between his barky skin
and his belt, was there to assist Occam with locating. No words were necessary as the red caped vampiress stood at the ready while the cloaked Ent zeroed his senses in on the target. Once he had done that the slow lumbering creature moved to sit atop the long time sleeping and deeply shadowed vampiress sat. The cold air made the snap of the first scrolls seal sound out crisply as Occam took aim then threw her scroll.
KALI_MA and BadGirl screech, and stumble around groggily.
After the third scroll left her hand, she fell into an easy rhythmic cadence of movements....aim....snap the seal... toss the scroll...wait wait....watch the ent... rinse ….repeat. Before she knew it she felt the warmth of the coming sunrise creep across her back. With a smirk, she walked towards Bamboo who had shifted to his full tree form, his branches reaching out and down to allow for Occam's body to be taken safely within their shade for the day. Nestled snugly against his smooth trunk Occam reached out with her minds eye to see the damage she had delivered; 581 pints was what the wench had started with, now she barely topped 300 pints.
“This is gonna take a minute” were the words that drifted across her thoughts as she closed her eyes.
She awoke to a gentle shake by Bamboo, his way of saying get your ass up, Occam. Damn Ents and their gentle ways! Stepping down onto the pavement with a scroll already in hand, the Oracle of The Ferrymen fired off scroll after scroll after scroll. The blocks that edged the westernmost edge of the city seemed to hold many sleeping vampires that even though they were invisible to the eye kicked up swirls of dust and grass with each scroll.
KALI_MA and Mephidross screech, and stumble around groggily.
KALI_MA and Balthag screech, and stumble around groggily
When the inevitable failed attempts became apparent, Occam's resolve only strengthened. She knew that by the time the sun peeked over the distant ridge line in the east, she would be done. As the hours passed she found her mind drifting to the words she had read in the history book, the words that KALI_MA had spoken brazenly night after night;
"Well, Hello Lucius....you picked the fight with the wrong vampire. I will quit after you have given up, and not before. If it takes a year, so be it.... I will never stop until you capitulate."
"You zeroed me, ((you tried to get me deleted)), you told me you were a hot shot, and I was fighting with the wrong vampire. Guess again…… I will attack you until you give up, and I win. No matter how long it takes "
then the words of The Ferrymen flashed through her head, words from the mouths of the ones that loved the light that Lucius radiated with his mere presence. The original Ferrymen were a loyal bunch of pires, the smallish clan had always given Occam strength in her various endeavors. She also put loyalty at the top of her list of greatness. The words were simple;
KALI_MA would find no peace ever, forever be stricken down for her crimes.
As the last scroll snapped its seal, Occam raised her fist towards the shadowed vampire, her voice that had been silent for nearly 2 days sounded loud and clear in the early morning haze;
Looks like you lose, bitch!
As an afterthought she chuckled as she remembered ophelia's Stress Relief for vampiress', Occam knew that if it had been her in that same place at that same time, her words would have been very near exactly the same as ophelia's had been. With a skip in her step she made her way back to Ferrymen Castle.
The vampire KALI_MA has drunk 1 pints of blood.
