Alice’s Notes on a Napkin - In The Night Floors, No Idea of Time or Date - New Orleans (apparently)

1. Today I found new friends and I think these ones are real and don't run away.  They are also heavily armed which has to be a plus.
2. They are FBI Agents except for one guy whose British - he's not. I am not really sure what he is but he has a nice gun - looks like a Browning High Power with extra wide ejection ports.
3. I am a gun bunny!  I also appear to be an excellent shot.  My new friends are called Marty (he's the guy with the P90 and he's not FBI either - he's Naval Criminal Investigative Services - gee that's long, no wonder they call it NCIS), Frost (still working out whether that's his first or second name) and Karen - I think she's a ‘Talent' although where that comes from...no clue.
4. Karen has adopted a mannequin.  Strangely, I am okay with this.
5. I have been having flashbacks - a guy in an office - it turns out he's from Homeland Security and we worked together watching some strange fat people killing dogs.  This was clearly not a date!
6. The guy from the office appears in a picture we found on a wall in this never ending hotel of weirdness.  It says his name is Callaghan and he's standing next to a guy called Kruger who my friends are looking for.  They're both holding bottles.  Does this mean anything?
7. More flashbacks - we trailed the fat canine killers to some place - looked like a medical centre or something.  I went in with Callaghan but only I came out and I wasn't in a good state either.
8. Met a guy with a bad wig.  His name is Mark Roark - he thinks it's 1933 (hmm well could be) - he says that the fat men and a guy called Stenneau brought me here.  I wonder why?
9. Attacked by a dog like critter made of smoke and covered in blue slime - dangerous blue slime (well is there any other type, Alice?) It appears impervious to firearms which disappointed Marty P90 tremendously.  I will try other deadly methods next time.  Brit guy KIA.  Karen screamed a lot and found her leg refused to work.  I really couldn't make this up could I?
10. I saved Frost's ass!  My popularity quota jumped a grade.  Whoop de do - now someone please get me out of here!
11. Dog back again - dragon eye strike did not work.  Back to the drawing board.
12. Keep finding fragments of a play.  My friends advise me it is the King in Yellow.  Whatever, it sure ain't Shakespeare.
13. Plays, plays, plays.  What's that quote - ‘The play's the thing wherein we'll catch the conscience of a King' - now that is Shakespeare.  It's also from a tragedy where pretty much everyone dies.  This is not a good thing.
14. Good thing!  Karen's shapely leg is working again.
