JTM wakes up…late yet again, a long night of fighting in the Pit, and taking extensive measures to heal from the wounds he endured. He staggers into his kitchen opens the fridge, sees some people took some of his beer, and he’s not sure who might have done that party foul.
Fuck it. I’ll let it slide this time.
He grabs a cold one, and walks into the living room. He notices many scattered packing peanuts and heavy foot traffic all over the place adding more depth to the dirt and filth accumulating in this place. He sees the couch had been over used, the legs about to buckle from the excess weight that recently has been placed on it. He sits down on the couch, hearing the creak of the springs sound a little louder, but it still supports him for the time being. He stares down at the table noticing that Barbie is “bear-less” now staring back at him.
“Hey, don’t fucking look at me like that. I told you that messing around with animals would leave you heart broken. Besides all they give you is pain, heartache, sorrow, and of course fucking fleas. And I don’t know if that damn headless bear even had his shots, so you might need to get a “rabies” shot or some shit like that. Wonder if the Gangrel go the vet yearly for their check ups. Ah, hell…just get ‘em all spayed or neutered. Have to control that damn pet population. Wouldn’t that make you feel better? I know it would make me feel better, a whole lot fucking better.”
He nods at her like she acknowledged it even though she never moved from that spot.
“See, now quit your bitching, and finish your beer. Shit!!!! I might need that keg from Stan sooner than I thought.”
He clicks on the TV to see this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VY_I6doz6Qk
“What the fuck is this shit? Whoa!!! Dude!!! Watch out!!!! Let the bodies hit the floor!!! Let the bodies hit the floor!!! Let the bodies hit the floor!!! Let the bodies hit the (cymbals) flooooooorrrrr!!! Yeah...that would drive me fucking crazy too!!!”
He then starts bobbing his head to it, looking up at his somewhat dented ceiling, and renovated back door. He imagines all the people that walked in here and started trashing his place from top to bottom, regardless of whether they did it or not. The song pours out and he gets in tune with it, looking at the dents to the numbered pauses in the song.
“I wasn’t beaten, it was the damn Sabbat Bastards that were beaten, and they’re the one’s that couldn’t take much more. That’s what you get for fucking around in my neighborhood, assholes.”
He talks to the TV as if the Sabbat were standing in the room, with the opened beer in his hands. When he emphasizes his words beer goings flying out of the bottle, spilling on the floor. His mouth mimics the mental patient in the chair on the video. He starts bouncing up and down on his couch as he sings along with the song.
“One, nothing wrong with me…Two, nothing wrong with me….Three, nothing wrong with me…Four, nothing wrong with me. One, something’s got to give….Two, something’s got to give…Three, something’s got to give NNNOOOOOOOWWWWWW! Let the bodies hit the floor!!! Let the bodies hit the floor!!! Let the bodies hit the floor!!! Let the bodies hit the flooooooorrrrr!!!”
He stands up with the beer still in his hand jumping up and down. When he see’s the band singing on the roof he starts to think about the Nosferatu and the Brujah kicking the Sabbat’s asses up on his roof, and how mad he was that he wasn’t in that fight. When he sees the lead singer bouncing up and down on the roof of the asylum in the video, he starts thinking of how funny it must have been for the Sabbat to be hitting the rooftop hard and leaving the dents.
“Push me again, this is the end. That’s right, this is the fucking end…the end of people invading my house. No more pop tarts, no more poofty-poppies, no more mass mobs!!! They need to make a fucking appointment, or to have the fucking courtesy to call me before you show up, just like Otto did. He’s the only one I remember that called me ahead of time.”
He jumps up and down more and more as the video goes on. When they sing the One, Two, Three, Four in the chorus he starts looking around at the damage in his house that he knows he didn’t do. The ceiling, the busted back door, and of course his broken broom handle that the blind “pop-tart” walked off with. He listens to the next line, slowing down his jumping.
“You’re all by yourself, but you’re not alone? Story of MY fucking life lately, especially with Barbie sitting over here. Good thing that damn headless bear’s gone though; he was driving me crazy, drinking all my bear and eating all my fucking fries! Ain’t that right Barbie?”
He nods back at her, as if she had nodded at him agreeing with him.
“Yeah…you know what I’m talking about!”
As the room in the video starts to spin he gets a little dizzy then starts to jump up and down again with the video.
“Hey maybe that’s what I need, a fucking vacation like that guy on the gurney. Trust me dude I wish I could go with you. I’d even trade places with you dude, but you'd have to take a number just like everyone else,cause I’m too fucking busy.”
As the video ends he stops suddenly as if he just realized what was going on.
“Wait a minute! Strait jacket….gurney…guards…mental patients…ASYLUM.”
Shakes his head
“NO! No, no, no, no, no!!!!!!!!!! This shit can’t be happening to me!!!!! Fuck!!!!! The damn Malks invaded my TV! Run Barbie Run! Get out while you still can!”
He looks at Barbie, not moving.
“Why the fuck aren’t you running? Get your fucking plastic ass up and get moving!”
When he see’s that she’s still not moving he points to the TV
“Look at that! The guys looking at himself and then looking at me, and they’re in a damn asylum! Fucking Malk assholes! I can’t get away from them!”
He plops down on his couch hard, and when he does, the couch gives way, breaking the legs, and JTM’s "body hits the floor". He looks at Barbie still sitting on the couch. He talks to her, through his gritted teeth.
“Not a word of this to anybody, you got that? This….didn’t…..fucking….happen!!!!!!!!! Got it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!”
He looks around the room to see if any "Mist" is seeping in anywhere. When he see’s that there isn’t any he looks right at his dead bolt door wondering who is going to bug him tonight, especially after all this shit he just went through.

JTM looks directly at Barbie, once he hears the customary knock on the door.
“See. What’d I tell ya, Barbie…..It never fails. I can’t go five fucking minutes with out this shit happening or somebody wanting to bug the crap outta me.”
He slowly gets up from the floor and walks over to the door unlocking the deadbolt. He opens the door hoping something pleasant to be standing there, but is shocked and disappointed to see “lady wonder titties” Kharma looking back at him, with some Walmart bags. He sizes her up and down getting a little pissed.
“What the hell are you doing here? And what the fuck do you want now?”

*Kharma looks at him, raising an eyebrow.*
"Bad night?"
*She leans over and picks up a case of Bud Select off the pavement.*
"Thought you could use one of these."
*She looks at the Wal-Mart bags*
"I brought over some cleaners, I noticed how bad your place was and thought that maybe I'd clean up for you. Unless you don't want me to..."

“You don’t even know the half of it.”
He looks at what she put down on the pavement, still puzzled as to why she is here.
“Beer? It’s a good start I guess But why are you, out of all people, bringing me beer?”
He hears the word “cleaners” and thinks the wrong context of the word.
“Cleaners? Are you wanting to fucking whack me? What is up with that shit. I haven’t pissed in your area for what’s it been (scratching his head thinking)…..some time now.
Then he finally process the rest of Kharma’s words, his brain getting un “mist” ed.
“Ohhhhh..my bad. You meant 409, scrubbing bubbles and other crap like that, didn’t ya?”
He thinks a bit, deciding on what to say and do next.
“Uhhh...Yeah. Sure. I guess. C’mon in. My place can’t get any worse.”
He nods her into his place.
“Now this aint gonna cost me is it? Cause if it is…..”
He puts his hand up to her.
“then the answer’s…no.”

*She walks into his place, seeing the couch broken on the floor, the busted back door, and the dents in the ceiling. The packing peanuts still all over the floor. She turns and looks at him, placing the bags on the floor, taking the beer and putting it into the fridge.*
"So...what happened to the couch?"
*She pulls a beer out of the case and opens it handing it to him.*

He takes the beer from her as she walks by still somewhat “mist”-ified, then walks back in his place, closing and locking the door.
“Um…Blame Barbie. The headless bear dumped her. He probably stole her fries..some shit like that. Bad date maybe. I just don’t keep good tabs on their “thing” you know. Barbie’s a lot stronger than she looks too…especially if she’s mad. I’m just glad it was the bear and not me. Now I gotta ask this…..First off , why are you here offering to clean up my place? And Two..who sent ya?”

*Kharma smiles and laughs a little at his questions.*
"No one sent me. I just noticed how bad this place looked the last time and I figured that this would be a good way to show that I don't dislike you. Plus I really don't have anything else to do."
*She shrugs.*
"Barbie needs a boyfriend huh? What about Ken? Plenty of them up at Wal-Mart."
*She laughs at this comment.*
"So, I'll get started in the bathroom, and work my way out here. You don't have a vacuum at all do you?"

I pulled up to JTM place in a cab. “Pull up for my door is right next to the walkway to the door and keep the motor running I don’t think this will take long.” With a jerk the taxi stopped next to the sidewalk. Pulling the door open I dragged a broom with a dust pan attached to the broom head, a broom stick and a cider poll. Using the cider poll to maneuver made my way to the door. Knocking on door I lade the brooms in the doorframe. Tuned back down the sidewalk started to make my way to the waiting taxi.

Otto walks the streets towards the hellmouth of Lamar not wishing to risk his car to such a neighborhood. He lets the shadow of night obscure him as he notices the taxi infront of a house a block away.
He watches with curiosity... a sense of wrongness overcomes him and he remains for a time.... something is not right. He waits and watches, judging his chances of getting out of this situation with his soul intact. If cleaning going on in JTM's home, then certainly the four horseman can not be far behind.
