Groundskeeper alerted me to a number of dead rats on the grounds. All drained of blood. Noises coming from next door, as well.

Off to investigate Carfax.

George Lusk receives a package including the "From Hell" letter and half a kidney, allededly from the body of Catharine Eddowes. #Ripper88

.@JackSewardMD and I gave each other quite a fright yesterday. I'm much obliged he didn't kill me in my weakened daylight state.
— RM Renfield (@RMRenfield) October 17, 2012
Oh how we talked! Like it was the good old days… Of course, had he stayed until nightfall, I'd have eaten him without a blink.
— RM Renfield (@RMRenfield) October 17, 2012
That fool @JackSewardMD thinks I'll stick around so he can stake me. Ha!
— RM Renfield (@RMRenfield) October 19, 2012
I can't believe what I have seen, yet I truly have no doubts. @RMRenfield's tale struck me as truth.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 18, 2012
When I found him, he was curled in a ball amidst the debris. At first, I did not even recognize his form as human.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 18, 2012
It seems either his natural proclivities, or his time interred, have turned him into something more rodent than man. He is to be pitied.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 18, 2012
Regardless, he may still be a danger to others. I shall go prepared today.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 18, 2012
.@RMRenfield is gone. I'm not surprised.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 18, 2012
I must turn my focus to the #Ripper case and my missing notes, but my thoughts return to @RMRenfield.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 20, 2012
The madman spoke of the Ripper murders, of wasted blood. He was certain it was the work of a mortal, not the undead. #Ripper88
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 20, 2012
But what kind of man would so mutilate a woman's body? #Ripper88
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 20, 2012
On the advice of one @JConnor117 (who seems all to knowledge about the #Ripper88 case) I have done some research into Walter Sickert.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 21, 2012
My conclusion, however, is that Sickert seems to have been somewhat morbidly inspired by the Ripper's work & has not the initiative himself.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 21, 2012
I have re-read last September's notes. Stake through the heart… cut off her head…

I am beginning to feel a terror unlike any I have ever known.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 23, 2012
I must think rationally. I must not dismiss any evidence out of a sense of loyalty.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 23, 2012
Arguably the first "Ripper" murder occurred shortly after he arrived in England.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 23, 2012
He is skilled with surgical instruments and killed Dracula's three brides single-handedly.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 23, 2012
He was here the night my notes on the case were destroyed.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 23, 2012
The killings have stopped since he's gone back to Amsterdam.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 23, 2012
Could @VanHelsingMD be Jack the Ripper??? #RIPPER88
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 23, 2012
Dear Professor @VanHelsingMD, I suspect @RMRenfield has returned from the grave as nosferatu. Will you help me hunt him down?
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) October 24, 2012
Does @VanHelsingMD fit a psychological profile of the Ripper, I wonder.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 2, 2012
He has the conviction and cool head that I would expect of someone capable of such acts.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 2, 2012
But what of the seeming hatred of women? I have sensed nothing of the sort from him. Has he felt some great betrayal by a woman he loved?
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 2, 2012
The other alienists suspect someone sexually deformed or impotent. Yet I disagree. I think the trauma is purely emotional.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 2, 2012
Could @VanHelsingMD's wife's madness be the cause? I would expect cuckoldry could drive some men to insanity and murder.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 2, 2012
Yet as far as I know, his wife yet lives.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 2, 2012
Was nervous to have @VanHelsingMD around @MrsMinaHarker in her condition, but now I find my suspicions ludicrous.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 3, 2012
But then there's @JHarkerEsq. Could he feel that the Count's attack on @MrsMinaHarker was in some way an act of unfaithfulness?
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 3, 2012
He certainly suffered at the hands of those vampiric brides. He could be reliving the stabbing of the Count through his victims…
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 3, 2012
What a paranoid menace I am becoming! I must put these thoughts from my mind. Surely some stranger entered my study and destroyed my notes.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 3, 2012
Was hoping to take @VanHelsingMD to Whitechapel today, perhaps get a reaction from him. Alas, @MrsMinaHarker is in labour. To Exeter!
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 5, 2012
After 24 hours of labour, I am pleased to announce the birth of a healthy baby boy to @MrsMinaHarker & @JHarkerEsq.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 6, 2012
.@ArthurHolmwood arrived bearing gifts for the lad, but left just as quickly. Too much screaming and projectile vomit, perhaps.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 8, 2012
We all spent the day cooing at young Lucius.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 8, 2012
.@MrsMinaHarker says they'll be calling him Quincey. I like Lucius better.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 8, 2012
.@VanHelsingMD dotes on the infant like I have never seen. I have not seen him away from the baby except for feedings and naps.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 8, 2012
News just came from Scotland Yard. Another murder, the most gruesome to date they say. #Ripper88
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 9, 2012
Mary Kelly killed in Miller's Court. #Ripper88
— Bite-Sized Dracula (@DraculaBites) November 9, 2012
Have brought @VanHelsingMD with me to the scene. I have no doubt this was the work of the Ripper.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 10, 2012
I am quite convinced of his innocence (as I am his alibi), but I was still relieved to see @VanHelsingMD's shock and disgust.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 10, 2012
I should never have suspected him.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 10, 2012
Yet the question of the Ripper's identity remains. We have still no leads and must wait for him to strike again.
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 10, 2012
Dear @JackSewardMD, I will be leaving London, and perhaps England, for a while. Yours, Art.
— Arthur Holmwood (@ArthurHolmwood) November 11, 2012
Could it… No, not @ArthurHolmwood… certainly not Art… I really must stop this nonsense…
— John Seward (@JackSewardMD) November 11, 2012
