The Nightwood Apartment Complex

Note 003

So.

The main reason i was talkin about Jabbers was because there's been a lot of 'em lately. Like, more than usual. I'm findin a new nest every other day, and i'm gettin calls from irritated renters about awful smells in the hallways or their rooms.

Now I dont know much about Jabber's zoologically, I just know how to get rid of 'em. In all my long years I haven't ever seen an infestation this big or this long, but maybe they just have longer cycles or migration periods? I've asked Tabbs to ask Woods if i could get a peak at their records to see if the last handyperson went through this.

Had to ask the damn cat because Wood's has been quiet lately. She's been refusing to talk to me. I'm not sure, but i think its because whenever she see's me, or hears my voice, all she remembers is U̴sho̴̼͔͙͐͝u̵kelbh. Which i mean. . . I don't completely blame her for, but it hurts you know? Anyway. . .

Right. Infestations.

Luckily we haven't had many Blanks, ya know, those 'blank' hallways that are actually massive parasites that melt people down into goo? Yeah. Been glad we haven't had many of those. I think the Blanks and the Jabbers are natural enemies? I caught a Blank free floatin the other day- oh uh, by the way, Blank's 'free float' before they set their anchors down into a hallway. When they're in that form they look like this sorta floatin white and clear mass? It moves like cloth underwater, but dont let that fool you, if they see you, they'll snatch you up before you can say Oklahoma.

So I caught one of these free floatin, and i ducked behind the corner so it wouldn't see me while I got my shovel out. I was keepin my eyes on it in case it drifted closer, but it moved towards the wall and then it started morphin into these shapes. It got all these sharp angles happenin and i heard somethin like a thousand souls screamin. Next thing I know, a frog man peels itself from the wall and begins jabberin' away at this Blank thats still screechin.

I was actually happy for a Jabber to be around for once. The fightin was feirce, and the lil frog man put up a good fight, started rippin parts of the Blank off an' eatin' 'em.

Unfortunately for it though the Blank was a better fighter. It turned itself into a thousand sharp spears and shredded the Jabber until it stopped movin. Fortunately for me, the Jabber had gotten in so many good hits that the Blank just collapsed after that and it was a nice clean kill for me and the trusty shovel.

Hell of a clean up though.

The Jabber's have been keepin the Blanks away but they haven't stopped the Shadow Folk.

Now, I ain't ever heard of 'em before. Ain't ever seen 'em neither. But by any god that sees fit to fill my lungs with breathe, I wish I could say I still haven't seen one.

I met both kinds the other day, and i don't think i'm goin' to be sleepin' for the next few days.

But thats for the next note, I have to go collect the paper's i dropped when i ran from 'em. Can't leave a mess like that on floor 3,000 otherwise Dr. Onys will turn me into one of his singin' heads.
