Ort: Brindleton Bay, Brindleton Bay Highschool Charakter: Blaze Titel: What the F... "Wart nur ab, wohin dich das 'niedlich' noch führt!", sagt sie zurück und grinst. "Denk daran, dass ich momentan den Stein habe!" Blaze grinst mit. "Ja ich weiss. Ich werd mich hüten, sonst strickst du mir noch Socken." Blaze lacht und zieht den Kopf ein. Autsch. Das war verdient. Er geht nicht wirklich davon aus, dass Viola ein tattergreisiges Hobby hat. Er glaubt ihr wenn sie sagt, sie sollte es ausliefern. Wer weiss wofür das Geschenk war. Eltern und Lehrer haben ja gern mal miteinander zu tun - wegen was auch immer. Er kriegt sich wieder ein, als er ihr die Skizze überreicht. Sie lobt den Stil. "Dafür spielst du umso besser Klavier." sagt er. "Willst du nicht mal ein paar deiner Fledermäuse an die Wand bringen?" fragt er belustigt. Er würde sie auf jedenfall Mal mitnehmen zum sprayen wenn sie das wollte. Ist doch genau ihre Tageszeit. Er grinst. Sie fragt nach der Geisternacht. Mit zwei fingern greift er das Papier und zieht es aus Violas Hand. Er steckt es wieder in den Rucksack, ohne darauf zu achten ob es knittert oder nicht. "Keine Ahnung - ja. Hab über 'Herzen öffnen' nachgedacht und hatte dieses Bild im Kopf..." Er blickt kurz der neusten Schülerin nach, die sie beide zurück mustert. Hat er die schonmal gesehen? Noch so n Goth-Kid. Kann sich ja mit dem anderen Typ zusammen tun der nur alleine rumhängt... wie hiess der nochmal? Egal. Blaze legt den Rucksack um und schaut auf die Uhr. Ihm knurrt der Magen.

Ort: Brindleton Bay, Brindleton Bay Highschool Charakter: Viola Titel: What the F... Viola spürt Victorias Anwesenheit wieder. Auch Blaze hat die Schülerin bemerkt und sieht ihr nach. Viola sieht im Moment aber keinen Grund dazu, ihn darüber aufzuklären, was Victoria ist. Er scheint so oder so nicht wirklich Interesse zu haben, ihr zu folgen. "Ja ich weiss. Ich werd mich hüten, sonst strickst du mir noch Socken.", neckt er sie und zieht den Kopf ein. Zu spät. Viola hat den Stein gerade in der Hand gehabt und nach ihm geworfen. Getroffen! Sie grinst und sammelt den Stein wieder ein. Natürlich hat sie ihr Wurfgeschoss nur leicht geworfen - sie wollte ihm ja nicht wirklich schaden. Doch jetzt lacht sie mit. "Ja. Und 'nen Schal noch dazu!" Blaze scheint ihr zu glauben. Was Keito oder Yuna denken ist ihr dann auch egal. Und dass Blaze auch den Mut hat, sie so zu necken, lässt den Respekt, den sie hat, nur noch steigen. Aber es ist ja auch nicht so, dass sie gar keinen Spaß verstehen könnte. "Willst du nicht mal ein paar deiner Fledermäuse an die Wand bringen?", fragt er sie. Viola überlegt. "Warum eigentlich nicht?", sagt sie schließlich. "Meine Fledermaus-Signatur auf Breuers "Kick me"-Zettel kam bei Watanabe ja schließlich auch gut an!" Sie grinst. "Nein ersthaft. Warum nicht?" Aber apropos Watanabe.. wollte sie nicht auch noch mit ihr sprechen? In diesem Moment stürmt ein Herr hinein und eilt in Miyus Büro. Diese wirft ihr einen entschuldigenden Blick zu. Viola hat keine Ahnung, wer der Kerl ist. Es ist ihr auch egal. Aber es scheint wichtig zu sein. Dann müsste sie halt noch etwas warten, bevor sie erfährt, was Watanabe von ihr will. Eine Standpauke wird es schon nicht sein. Schließlich ist sie sich keiner Schuld bewusst. "Keine Ahnung - ja. Hab über 'Herzen öffnen' nachgedacht und hatte dieses Bild im Kopf..." Ach ja... davon hatte dieser Geist ja auch gesprochen... Ist das eigentlich der selbe Geist gewesen, der später auch in Blaze fuhr? Oder ein anderer? "Ja... diese Geistergeschichte hat uns alle wohl mehr beeinflusst als geplant.", sagt sie.

Punting the start of this idea out so I can get back to work on other things

The Eternian Board of Girl Power meetings were supposed to be the one good thing she had. They were her own initiative, and she could talk and have fun with Artemia Venus and Kikyo Konoe, playing that they were all friends and not simply three lonely misfits. The meetings were for eating cookies and admiring Artemia's frosti charms. They weren't for seizures. She made sure of that; she tried to schedule meetings when she felt good enough to be pleasant to the other girls and outright canceled them if she had any suspicion an attack was coming.

But her 'good' days, which had never been all that good to start with, had been less often and less reliable lately. She was afraid she'd used them all up. And now...

"Kikyo, find Victor! Victoria, stay strong!"

"No...no!" Victoria protested, but Artemia squeezed her hand reassuring as the ranger's other hand pressed down on her shoulder, holding her in place during the seizure.

"Victoria is strong! Fight! Victor will come help."

Kikyo had already disappeared from her sight, and her spasms were getting worse--the seizure was intensifying. The fear pushed a scream from her mouth. "NO! Don't get Victor! Don't you dare! Please!"

Victoria couldn't see if Artemia understood, couldn't tell the girl's expression at all behind her garish, stupid wolf mask, and she kept pushing through the pain, trying to make the girl understand. She'd been getting worse for months--she knew it, Victor knew it--Victor was desperate--he'd been experimenting--vampirism--immortality, really? An eternity of pain?--just like his father--if he was that eager to make her life hell she'd kill him first--just like his father--she'd kill Artemia if she didn't listen--if she didn't...please...

Halfway through she could tell she was babbling, didn't know when her words had lost their string, her thoughts dropping and scattering like beads off a broken charm. She kept trying, trying, but her tongue was thick in her mouth and--

She woke up still in pain, but now it was the usual throb. The seizure was over. She was on something soft and comfortable and she closed her eyes, sickened by the tears she could already feel coming up.

They must have taken her back to Eternia. Victor knew and now he would never let her out of sight, he'd rush the weird research he'd been doing with that vampire's hair and try to use the results on her. What could she hope for? She knew too well how terribly occult magic and living bodies could combine. Her highest hope was for it to be absolutely useless and her worst fear was that she'd live in pain without end for eternity because Victor just couldn't let her die.

She heard a door crack open, and her worry turned into fury. She had to strike first. He couldn't do this, he couldn't, it was bad enough that Vincent had and she would never let Victor repeat his father's mistake--

"Oh, so you do live."

A bored observation in an unmistakably female voice. Definitely not Victor. Not Kikyo or Artemia, either, as this woman had a thin, high, almost reedy voice. Victoria opened her eyes to see... Mephilia Venus?

The woman tilted her head. "Artemia says you were quite insistent about not wanting Victor, so she brought you home." Indeed, the walls of the room were not the heavy stonework of one of the healing towers or Victor's lab. Instead, they were the natural brown of a wood cabin and decorated with maps and black-and-white photographs, all dusty and aged. "But that was incredibly dangerous. You seemed all too ready to pass through death's door. So I must ask: are you ready to get treatment now? Or are you planning to die?"

She presented the options so starkly and dispassionately that Victoria snarled, but she wasn't wrong. Victor was the only one capable of keeping her alive long-term. She had been lucky to not die this time...if she could call herself lucky. She could court death, or she could risk seeing what depths the younger Court might sink to in the face of failure.

The vampire's hair...eternity... "I think I made myself quite clear to Artemia," Victoria gritted out, though she still couldn't remember how much she'd managed to tell the ranger. Enough that the girl had taken her back to her home instead of to Victor, apparently. Enough. "I don't want to see him! I'd rather die!"

Mephilia sighed, putting a hand to her chin. "Einheria is not going to like this... but I'll respect your wishes. If you change your mind at any time, please, do tell us. I'll get you water and some food. Artemia is out hunting at the moment. Best you be ready for her return; I imagine she'll be loud when she learns you're awake. She was worried about you. Konoe, too."

"Oh...okay," Victoria squeaked. She hadn't been ready for the lack of arguing from the summoner. Nor had she been expecting her other words. Artemia and Kikyo both worried about her? That...huh. She was too worn out to think on that much further, slumping against the pillows. There were bigger things to worry about anyway. Victor, and the next few days. Death, and eternity.

Bob Kaufman

Robert Garnell Kaufman (April 18, 1925 – January 12, 1986) was an American Beat poet and surrealist as well as a jazz performance artist and satirist. In France, where his poetry had a large following, he was known as the "black American Rimbaud."

Early life and education

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Kaufman was the 10th of 13 children. He claimed to be the son of a German-Jewish father and a Roman Catholic Black mother from Martinique, and that his grandmother practiced voodoo. At the age of 13, Kaufman joined the United States Merchant Marine, which he left in the early 1940s to briefly study literature at New York's The New School for Social Research. There, he met William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg.

Career

During Kaufman's time at The New School and in New York, he found inspiration in the writings of Herman Melville, Walt Whitman, Arthur Rimbaud, Guillaume Apollinaire, Federico Garcia Lorca, Hart Crane, Gertrude Stein, Langston Hughes, Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, and Nicolás Guillén. He also identified with the works of jazz musicians and improvisational artists such as Charlie Parker, whom he named his son after.

Kaufman moved to San Francisco's North Beach in 1958 and remained there for most of the rest of his life.

Kaufman frequently expressed his desire to be forgotten as both a writer and a person. Kaufman, a poet in the oral tradition, usually didn't write down his poems, and much of his published work survives by way of his wife Eileen, who wrote his poems down as he conceived them. Like many beat writers, Kaufman became a Buddhist. In 1959, along with poets Allen Ginsberg, John Kelly, A. D. Winans, and William Margolis, he was one of the founders of Beatitude magazine, where he also worked as an editor.

According to the writer Raymond Foye, Kaufman is the person who coined the term "beatnik", and his life was filled with a great deal of suffering. In San Francisco, he was the target of beatings and harassment by the city police, and his years living in New York were filled with poverty, addiction, and imprisonment. Kaufman often incurred the wrath of the local police simply for reciting his poetry aloud in public, and it is said that in 1959 alone, at the height of the "beatnik" fad, he was arrested by the San Francisco police on disorderly charges 39 times.

In 1959, Kaufman had a small role in a movie called The Flower Thief, which was shot in North Beach by Ron Rice. In 1961, Kaufman was nominated for England's Guinness Poetry Award, but lost to T. S. Eliot.

In 1963 that he was to depart New York with his wife and infant son, he was summarily arrested for walking on the grass of Washington Square Park and incarcerated on Rikers Island, then sent as a "behavioral problem" to Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital where he underwent electro-shock treatments, which greatly affected his already bleak outlook on society. He took a vow of silence after the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which lasted 10 years. He was believed to return to this silence in the early 1980s.

In an interview, Ken Kesey describes seeing Bob Kaufman on the streets of San Francisco's North Beach during a visit to that city with his family in the 1950s:

I can remember driving down to North Beach with my folks and seeing Bob Kaufman out there on the street. I didn’t know he was Bob Kaufman at the time. He had little pieces of Band-Aid tape all over his face, about two inches wide, and little smaller ones like two inches long -- and all of them made into crosses. He came up to the cars, and he was babbling poetry into these cars. He came up to the car I was riding in, and my folks, and started jabbering this stuff into the car. I knew that this was exceptional use of the human voice and the human mind.

Poetry

His poetry made use of jazz syncopation and meter. The critic Raymond Foye wrote about him, "Adapting the harmonic complexities and spontaneous invention of bebop to poetic euphony and meter, he became the quintessential jazz poet."

Poet Jack Micheline said about Kaufman, "I found his work to be essentially improvisational, and was at its best when accompanied by a jazz musician. His technique resembled that of the surreal school of poets, ranging from a powerful, visionary lyricism of satirical, near dadaistic leanings, to the more prophetic tone that can be found in his political poems."

Kaufman said of his own work, "My head is a bony guitar, strung with tongues, plucked by fingers & nails."

After learning of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, Kaufman took a Buddhist vow of silence that lasted until the end of the Vietnam War in 1973. He broke his silence by reciting his poem "All Those Ships that Never Sailed," the first lines of which are:

All those ships that never sailed

The ones with their seacocks open

That were scuttled in their stalls...

Today I bring them back

Huge and intransitory

And let them sail

Forever

Personal life

In 1944, Kaufman married Ida Berrocal. They had one daughter, Antoinette Victoria Marie (Nagle), born in New York City in 1945 (died 2008).

He married Eileen Singe (1922–2015) in 1958; they had one child, Parker, named for Charlie Parker.

He died aged 60 in 1986 from emphysema and cirrhosis in San Francisco.
