Blood Angel returns...

I worked a bit on Blood Angel, today. A section that takes place in the early years of WW2, where Poland is being overrun by Germany and Russia. Léonidèsis on the side of the Poles so limits his pack of vampires to raping and feasting on the Russians. Which they have fun doing.

I also have a large part written that's set in 1871-72, where Léonidès tracks down his sister, Gabrielle, in Korea and asks her to swap Dmitriy for Franz. Each man is bound to the one who turned them, and Léon really likes Dmitriy. He thinks a swap would be beneficial to them all.

She agrees because Franz is a Blood Angel who is very heterosexual, and he is being an asshole to Léon, but she keeps Dmitriy for not telling her he was gay before she turned him. Never mind that he didn't know, himself. She's punishing him and tormenting Léon just for the fun of it...and there is nothing he can do about it.

I actually had fun with it, because it's a wild fantasy of a story about special vampires with some history mingled in. Gabrielle was in Korea because she was obsessed with a young Naval officer who's of the Blood Angel line, who embarked for Korea in the US quest to force the country to open up. But he winds up getting killed before she can turn him. So when Léon connects with her, she's not in a good mood. I think this is what I'll finish, now.

I also went out to do laundry, today, because I wanted to wash my bedcovers...and reminded myself why I prefer to use the building's washers and driers. It was hot and expensive. $33.20 as opposed to about $20 in-house. The only issue is we only have 4 machines for washing and for drying, so I'd have been going all day.

Seems I'm losing my tolerance for hot weather. It was up to 91, today, which is hot but in Houston it would be around 100 with high humidity and I could function in that. Today wiped me out. So it's that or I'm growing old.

I refuse to accept the latter suggestion.
