Maladicta read the various notices and posts that went up around the Compound religiously1, because she was a copper and she simply, generally needed to know what was going on. It had been a while since she'd posted anything herself, being a council representative and senior member of the IPD and oh, right, mothering a tiny human that could now not only walk about but run and also, sometimes, climb on things, keeping her fairly busy, but enough was enough. They'd lost so many of who she thought of as the old guard- there were days she missed Ray Kowalski with a bitter ache, still, not to mention the Vimes family, and Angua, or Aerin or Norrington or Kate. Not to mention Sacharissa. The list just seemed to grow, the losses pile up, and worse than the crushing sadness that came with each loss was the fear of losing Olivia, in the end. If there was one thing Polly- gods, how many years now since she'd seen Ozzer- had instilled in her, though, it was a certain kind of doggedness. What was the point in living a life with her daughter if she was going to dwell on the upset and uncertainty?

It was, she felt, time to make something good.

She made sure the multiple lined sheets for signs ups were firmly attached beneath the notice itself and hung the traditional pencil-from-a-string, and stepped back. She would get some coffee and some food, stop by the children's office, go see William, and not obsessively keep track of which names appeared on the list. That was the plan.

1: Which wasn't saying much, as reformed vampires did many things religiously2, given that tedious, rigid routine was an integral factor in controlling urges like removing blood from throats or limbs from bodies.

2: Though the irony of describing it as such given vampires' reactions to actual religion can hardly go without comment.
