THE EXISTENTIAL MONTHLY

Scandal at Succy's.
Written by Jughead Jones.

Fine meals were paired with a plethora of willing bodies several months ago when the succubus Mora hosted a dinner at her lavish home. However, the erotic events were interrupted by a cohort of other demons hoping to distract visitors from the intruders' true goal. Theft was the name of the game and as far as this reporter has been able to find, they've been successful. Mora has been tight-lipped on the nature of the stolen items, but given her nature, it likely has something to do with sex. According to those on the scene, pheromones and other chemical enhancements filled the air, prompting many to act outside their norm. This provided all the cover the thieves needed. If you have further information regarding the theft, you're asked to contact succy.

Thrown into the Ring
Written by Betty Cooper.

"It was like nothing I'd ever experienced," said one member of the Servos class, a group segregated from the wealthier Primus class as part of the most recent Prison World. Those who either had no romantic partner or were not wealthy were placed in an arena and forced to battle to the death. "I have blood on my hands now. Something I never wanted," said Nico di Angelo (19).

Meanwhile, as the Servos fought, the Primus lived the high life. Wealthy members of this class were known to even hold slaves while others were more content with one or more spouse. Together, they would frequently watch the Servos combat in the arena, looking on as innocent people were slaughtered. However, there were some that disagreed. "I enjoyed it when it was fair combat. When two warriors of equal measure test their mettle against each other it is an admirable sport.

I did not enjoy it when the organizers of the battle became involved. They resorted to underhanded tactics to sway the battle in favor of some parties, rather than others. I assume to add a more 'wild' element to the battle for the thrills of a mindless audience.

Their methods disgusted me and I lodged a formal protest," said Ignacio (∞), a vampire who had been a Primus at the time. Part of his efforts including saving two combatants from the battles.

He was not alone in his efforts. Reports have come in of an anonymous detractor, one who posted protest posters all over the city. Though neither had a huge impact on the government, both were an example of the people here who are ready to fight.

You are. There are many who live for hundreds of years and never find love.

May I ask if you are one of those?

You may not. The topic of love is one I do not wish to see published about me.

I meant that off the record. But I understand. It's a very personal thing.

Very. And it is my understanding that these conversations can be seen by all unless it is marked as 'private'?

Yes, that is true.

As such, I do not want to be the subject of gossip.

However, I am pleased to offer any insight away from what may be the typical human viewpoint. You may interview me at any time.

I will keep you in mind.

I am disappointed in the lack of an Anne Rice joke.

[ interview. vampire. get it. ha ha. ]

I wasn't sure if it was smart to make that joke.

By all means. You are even allowed to ask if I sparkle.

I would be disappointed if you do.

Only if someone tosses glitter at me.

That's a huge mess and so not worth it.

I cannot control what happens at parties.

Thankfully the one which happened in your newspaper was glitter-free. I did not know that there was an influence there, I must have left before it happened. Or perhaps I was immune.

You were at the party? I wasn't there so I don't know when it started or how it felt.

[ Thank God.]

I was. I had only just arrived in Xistentia, and I felt it would be a good place to meet others. Indeed, it was, but I did not feel the urge to be intimate with another while I was there. Thankfully.

That is disturbing.

I'm pretty relieved that neither Jughead or I wasn't there.

I imagine the lesson learned here is never to go to a party hosted by a succubus.

I guess that seems obvious in hindsight.

I never had an issue with them before. But things are strange in this world, I imagine we all must be overly cautious.

None of that kind of stuff, the supernatural stuff was real in my world.

Are you certain of that?

Pretty certain but I guess I wouldn't know.

It is not difficult to hide from humans.
