Circe skipped down the streets of Manhattan, humming Psychosocial to herself. The day had so far been dreadfully boring, it was nearing one in the afternoon and she hadn't killed anyone since the couple last night. She swung around the corner and bumped into a man who mumbled his annoyance at the mage. She looked up at him and noticed he was a buisness man. Circe gave a twisted smile, she had found a new toy, and he had a mouth on him. She liked the ones that acted tough, they always screamed the loudest.

"I said move out of my way, I have several meetings to get to!" He said raising his voice, Circes smile only grew wider with anticipation of a new game. Her shadow began to elongate as she prepared to pull the man into the alleyway for a bit of one on one fun when her eye caught a tv screen in the window.

Circes mind raced in a multitude of directions at what this could mean for her and Dark Shadows. The man pushed aside her as she became lost in thought. She worried that with Aly gone that the Guild would buckle down and hunt the remaining members down, or worse, DS could disband.

[color=f49ac2][I]Or even better yet, we could be embroidered in an all out civil war for who is the new leader, oh that would be entertaining, yes! Let's make that happen![/I][/color] She thought to herself, and started heading off to Dark Shadows lair.

Circe skipped into view of the entrance at six O'clock, she was so excited and couldn't contain it singing the whole way to the door.

[color=f49ac2]"Ding dong the dick is dead. Which old dick? The Aly dick! Ding dong, the Aly dick is dead!"[/color] She belted out. As she got up to the door and slapped her hand on the panel allowing her to enter. The meeting room was fairly large to accommodate the many members she would now rule over. She walked around the table in the center of the room up to Aloysius's now abandoned chair. Circe turned and sat in it as her darkness rose up and covered the seat. There she sat waiting for everyone else to arrive, still singing her song.
