LORE24 ENTRY #48 – Supers Month #17 – Adrianna Bayne and Sierra Del Vecchio

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

It’s true, I do keep Bayne and del Vecchio around partially for my own amusement.  They are certainly qualified as medical doctors, of course, each with their own specialties, otherwise I never would have brought them here.  They spend so much time trying to backstab one another to gain my favor, how could I not be amused by them?  Thus far, neither has shown any particularly strong indications of superpower manifestation, though they have proven ingenious when it comes to scheming within Edgewater.  Even I didn’t think they would be bold enough to have Healslut heal Dollface without telling the girl, though if they thought they would slip that little detail past me and try to develop their own version of the villain’s mind control technology, they were sadly, and sorely, mistaken.  

I can’t be terribly mad, at them, though.  They simply moved my timeline forward somewhat, giving me the opportunity to delve into Dollface’s mind a bit earlier than planned.  But that is for another entry; what a fascinating psyche she has.

Dr. Bayne is the more scientific minded of the pair, having a specialty in virology and infectious diseases, hailing from some little city in the Midwest, named after some rodent or another; I can’t be bothered to remember which state it’s even in.  She has a fascination, bordering on obsession, with weaponized viruses, and some deep-seated fear of a coming zombie apocalypse, though she has yet to let these affect her work.  She has also developed an interest in the new drug sweeping through Sentinel City, Succu-Lust, and has provided a most useful breakdown of its effects and makeup, though her files indicate she may be trying to make her own version of it, for whatever reason.

Dr. del Vecchio has had a much broader range of experience given her time with Doctors Without Borders, hailing from the Boston area, her specialties lie in neurology and hematology.  She, however, retains what I will call a more spiritual nature, still clinging to vestiges of a belief in witchcraft of all things; not the classical kind, rather, the new age kind, though she too has a bit of an obsession,. She is more attached to the possibility of the existence of great cosmic beings that one could potentially worship to gain power.  I haven’t taken to spying on her outside of Edgewater, but I would not be surprised if she still practices certain rituals in her off time.  Perhaps, if she ever shows up again, I should consult with Claire on this to see if there is anything I should be concerned with.

The two work well together, when they’re not bickering, of course, though they do share certain sadistic qualities that make them quite good at performing various treatments and procedures with the patients, even if they may go a bit further than they should in some cases.  Notably their initial time spent with Misha Kyle has led to some sparks between them and her, though they are slowly coming to the realization that Specialist Leopard stands above them in the unofficial hierarchy here.  They seemed to enjoy their time with the mysterious and quite vexing Momo-chan as well; perhaps if that one shows back up here I’ll let them have another round of procedures with her to see if they can provoke a pain response in some other novel way.

The pair are also quite enjoyable when it comes time for punishments, and they have certainly earned more than their fair share of them.  I daresay that so far this year, they have spent close to half of their time in some form of disciplinary action or another, though such things to prove quite motivational to them, at least for a time.  Either way, the two are dedicated to trying to please me and earn my praise, and that’s good enough for now, as long as their antics don’t harm my patients.  Should either of them step out of line in such a way, I will see to it that they regret it.

 

 

 

 

LORE24 ENTRY #47 – Supers Month #16 – Delia Emmerson

 

From the Personal Journal of Jennifer Tempest…

 

Well, after this little present to the family, none of my sisters should complain about me being selfish.  Who am I kidding?  Of course they will, we always do; we succubi are selfish by our very natures, are we not?  Sharing our toys isn’t something we tend to do, but I am not so absorbed by my personal desires that I cannot see when an acquisition would benefit the family more than myself.

Delia Emmerson is quite the catch.  I must admit, I was impressed by the lengths she went through to infiltrate Edgewater during her hunt for information about the fate of Dollface.  Quite impressed, really; she displayed a remarkable amount of initiative and guile for a human, even if she was ultimately unsuccessful in slipping back out.  Not that she had a chance, of course; I was fully aware of her intentions beforehand thanks to the loyal nurse who reported Delia to me, if not the methods she would employ to get inside.  She proved quite adept at assuming the nurse’s identity, and displayed an admirable talent for escape artistry, even managed to slip through some of the facility’s more secure areas confined to a straitjacket.

Star reporter for Channel 9 News, a precious media darling with a record of finding out what was meant to remain hidden, and getting herself into more than a few dangerous situations that she narrowly escaped.  Of course, I could have reported her to the police for trespassing, amongst other charges, but I felt that it was my duty to take her in as a patient and get to the bottom of what drives her to do what she does, without getting the law involved, if for no other reason than an interest in preventing her from further risky behaviors and potential harm that could result.  Sometimes I am simply too kind.

As expected, Miss Emmerson has proven to be quite receptive to the treatment plan I have established for her, not to mention being just as easily influenced by my succubus charms as any normal human.  I could have handled her therapy strictly by my charms alone, really, but the other methods were so much more entertaining.  She’s quite loyal and dedicated to the Tempest family now, whether she realizes it or not thanks to the triggering phrase I’ve installed into her brain.  Given the nature of the work many of my sisters do, having the city’s most influential and famous reporter in our pocket can only be seen as a boon.  Rachel has already enjoyed having some fun with Miss Emmerson, even allowed her to publish something of a story relating to their little playtime, though it read as more of something you’d see in the tabloids than her usual professional level journalism; not all pieces of work can be master level, can they?  After such a successful initiation into the machinations of the Tempests, though, I can only wonder which of my sisters will take up Miss Emmerson’s leash next.  Perhaps Julia (she does enjoy her manipulations of the local politicians, after all), or perhaps Amelia (she does run the most prestigious business in the family, and is never above a good puff piece spouting its virtues).

Amusingly enough, Delia has started keeping records on the Tempest family as well; Bobbi took a look at her personal files and keeps an eye on them for anything too spicy for the public, but so far Ms. Emmerson has only managed the barest of rumors and the official records.  Perhaps in time she’ll manage to discover more, assuming we allow her to do so, that is.  Still, perhaps it would be amusing to lead her along a bit, then pull the rug out from under her in a most humiliating way?  We’ll see.
