Nightgirl Down Anyway, Cherry sent out a notecard to the DJs, who are the main culprits. It must be something to do with the artistic temperament. To sweeten the note, we agreed that any staff could have any of my Heroes Clobber costumes that they wanted, free of charge, as a perk. Resistance came from an unexpected quarter. One of the DJs, who I consider a particularly close friend, refused to be told what to wear, and quit. Both Cherry and I were surprised and disappointed by this, especially as this DJ was by no means the worst offender. However, we dealt with it, and covered her slots with our replacement DJ. I talked to the DJ later that day. She wasn't making much sense to me, flitting wildly backwards and forwards between extremes. She started by telling me she was quitting SL altogether, then later said that she would come and play her sets in costume after all. And right at the end, she dropped her bombshell. She has a brain tumour. She's already fought cancer twice, and this time she's decided to just accept it. She probably won't see Christmas. We are devastated. I've only known her since last Christmas, but she has been a part of our little family ever since. It feels every bit as real to me as losing a friend in the real world. I met with Cherry and Garbo on Saturday. I'm lucky to have such good friends, and luckier still that they help me so much at Heroes. We were supposed to be holding a big event this coming Friday, organised by my wife MajorP. The DJ was going to be...yes, that's right. My friend. Cherry had stepped in when it appeared that she was just throwing a tantrum, but now, it just didn't feel right. We weren't prepared, and none of us had the will to put the effort in. So we decided to postpone it. And now it's worse, because MajorP and I have had a big falling out over my decision. Where I am emotion, she is practical. She'd put a huge amount of work into the event, had invited lots of guests, and was having to deal with a lot of people who were very annoyed at the postponement. I understand that it wasn't a nice thing for her to have to do. I know that the club will go on, and that we need events like hers to keep people coming. But at the same time, Heroes has always been more about friends than profit or popularity. Our vendors mostly pay a small percentage rather than rent, because they are there as a service to our guests. I sell my costumes cheap so people can get into the spirit without spending a fortune. I know this is a cliche, but I see our staff as a family. And I am faced with losing a member of our family. That is more important than any event. All I wanted was to be held, to be told that I'd made the right decision, regardless of whether or not it actually was right. I didn't need to be made to feel worse than I already did. And now, I just feel very, very confused. I needed to write this. I'm not sure I need to keep it here. And I'm not sure where to go from here. I am lost.
