Note: A hard drive crash destroyed my collection of Salem logs. These have been either scavenged or donated. If you happen to have any I don't have here, please e-mail them to me.

Many thanks to Kaz, by the way, who pointed me toward The Internet Archive, whose WayBack machine (heh) let me access my old website on Byte-Me the way it used to be. I also picked up a few of these from the JJ Malone collection of logs. Rock.

• Harbor Park, First Day Out
  (Jan 1, 1998) New Ronin in town, Salem hangs out in the park and has his first glimpse of Sally MacKay.
• Morgan at the Wharf
  (Jan 5, 1998) Morgan, of pack Edge, runs into Salem while on patrol.
• Charlie's Tavern and Sally MacKay
  (Jan 11, 1998) Salem gets a beer at Charlie's, frightens people, and meets up with Sally again. They arrange a deal and begin what would turn out to be a highly rocky (and ultimately platonic) relationship.
• Merria
  (Jan 12, 1998) Merria later became the one Bone gnawer Salem ever thought highly of, but he didn't think very highly of her at their first meeting. Then again, he wasn't at his best, either.
• A Business Arrangement
  (Jan 15, 1998) Sally bumps into Salem again; the Ronin is coming off of the full moon and the controlled substance abuse that came with it. Actually, this month he didn't have any, being new to the city and without contacts. Sally becomes the first of said contacts.
• Gwyneth, Part I
  (Jan 16, 1998) Every Garou needs to date a Mage at least one point in their life, neh? This is how Salem's relationship with Gwyneth started, or at least it's the first time they met.
• Brought to Heel
  (Jan 17, 1998) Morgan, Alpha of Edge and badass Fury From Hell, makes a wayward Ronin an offer he's not allowed to refuse. At least, not if he wants to stay in town.
• A Bad Day
  (Jan 18, 1998) Salem finds that Sally is, indeed, affected by the Curse, and then has a discouraging run-in with Thomas. Having a 9 Rage can really cramp on one's ability to socialize.
• Frustration
  Sally gives Salem the name of someone who can help him get what he needs for the next full moon, but it's all business. Sally doesn't know Salem's a Garou, and has never felt the Curse quite his badly. Later, in the Rialto, Morgan quizzes the Ronin about vampires.
• Answers
  (Jan 19, 1998) Salem plays loose with the Litany to give Sally some answers, then finds out she's Kinfolk after all. He offers her an outcast's view of Garou life.
• Respect the Territory of Another
  (Jan 19, 1998) Merria invites Salem to the Forgotten Church, and the Ronin steps all over Elan's offered hospitality. What a bastard.
• A Fianna, a Gazer, and Pete Barlow
  (Jan 21, 1998) A chat with Seirian in Harbor Park. Then Sally introduces him to Casper, who acts strangely. Later, Chugs bitches Salem out for messing with Elan.
• Broken Trust
  (Jan 22, 1998) Sally's intentions are good, but a paranoid Salem reacts badly.
• Regrets and Pizza
  (Jan 23, 1998) Salem comes close to apologizing to Merria for his abuse of Elan, and the little Gnawer treats him to pizza. Sally, still sporting a bruise, shows up with friends.
• Arlen
  (Jan 24, 1998) The Edge pack had finally taken Salem in hand, and he was (somewhat unwillingly) staying at the Rialto. He meets Arlen, a Black Fury.
• Charlie's
  (Jan 25, 1998) Scene in a bar. Salem's mostly brooding in the background.
• Harbor Park, Sally MacKay, a snowball, and Merria
  (Jan 26, 1998) Long, but a favorite. Lots of folks in the park. Sally plays games, Salem nearly loses it. Merria's there too... thankfully.
• Morgan
  (Jan 29, 1998) A short chat with Morgan.
• Truce?
  (Jan 29, 1998) Sally doesn't seem to know how to leave well enough alone, so Salem lays down some ground rules. Well, one ground rule, anyway.
• This is a wolf. This is not a dog.
  (Jan 31, 1998) Here we see the less-disfunctional side of Salem's relationship with Sally. Salem gives the Kin a demonstration of the lupus-form difference between him and the Bone Gnawers that he sneers at.
• Clash of Egos
  (Feb 2, 1998) Ex-Shadow Lord squares off with Silver Fang. Neither end up very impressed with the other.
• Slumming
  (Feb 4, 1998) Salem socializes with Edge.
• Luna's Bitch
  (Feb 8, 1998) Sally makes the mistake of trying to visit with a high-Rage Ronin when the moon's near full and waxing.
• Runaway Ronin
  (Feb 8, 1998) When Edge goes off on a cubnapping, Salem takes off for a little privacy. The pack hunts him down.

  (Feb 9, 1998) The next morning, Morgan lays down the law.
• True-Blue
  (Feb 10, 1998) Merria brings a care package to the captive Ronin.
• Luna's Bitch, Take Two
  (Feb 14, 1998) Another not-quite-so-cozy little scene with Morgan. The moon's still full, and Salem gets no crutches.
• The Cleansing
  (Feb 15, 1998) Morgan drags Salem out to the woods and enlists the help of Sepdet to get rid of the Ronin's Umbral piggybackers.
• Sparring
  (Feb 17, 1998) Possibly the last day stuck in the warehouse, and Morgan decides to entice Salem into a bit of fisticuffs.
• Freedom. And a Plan
  (Feb 19, 1998) His freedom returned to him, Salem gets a visit from Merria and announces to her and Barlow his intention to join the Glass Walkers.
• Gwyneth, Part II
  (Feb 21, 1998) In which Salem runs into the woman again, and discovers that she's more than she appears. For example, she can turn off his Rage. (!)
• The Pool Hall
  (Feb 23, 1998) A little of Sally, a little of Merria, and some of Reggie, too!
• Dylan
  (Date Unknown) A chance encounter of utterly opposite personalities.

• The Pool Hall
  (Exact Date Unknown) Salem hangs out at the pool hall where Sally works and gets to play bouncer.
• Sarah
  (Feb 28, 1998) Trading banter with a high-ranking Uktena can make for an interesting evening.
• Pool Hall
  (Mar 1, 1998) More stuff at the pool hall. Sally tries to sell Reggie on the idea of Salem as bouncer, Merria stops by with a gift, and the Ronin relays news to JJ Malone. Plus other stuff.
• Slapped Down
  (Mar 2, 1998) Salem goes to talk to Chugs about the upcoming Revel and is disappointed.
• Gwyneth, Part III
  (Mar 3, 1998) A cozy little scene in the Dark Wine and Roses.
• Gwyneth, Part IV
  (Mar 13, 1998) In which Gwyneth shows that even Mages can make mistakes. In this case, a near-fatal one.
• Bastard
  (Mar 22, 1998) Salem continues to break ties with Sally and generally acts like a total prick.
• Gwynth, Part V
  (Mar 23, 1998) In a word, angst. I don't know if they ever reconciled, but I don't think they did. Sad.
• More 'Family'
  (Mar 24, 1998) Salem meets more Glass Walkers. And has his first encounter with Rina, too. Talk about unfriendly.
• Xandra
  (Mar 25, 1998) Salem makes a little girl nervous. No big surprise there.

• Banter and Mockery
  (Apr 1998) Harbor Park. Again. Salem, Sally, and some of Kyle as well.

  (Apr 7, 1998) Bad shit goes down in Harbor Park. This is the scene JJ's refers to (in the next log) when asking if Salem was high last Tuesday. Mmm, Thrall-frenzy.
• Drugs are bad, mmmmmkay?
  (Apr 13, 1998) J.J. Malone finds out about Salem's dirty little full-moon habit.

• Post-Raid Meeting
  (Jul 16, 1998) To prove his worth to the Glass Walkers, Salem -- among other things -- contributes to a scouting raid. Here he, Jeff, and Jayson give Malone the skinny.
• Walker Moot
  (Jul 23, 1998) At Malone's insistence, a reluctant Salem tells his sordid history to the tribe.
• Cub-Training
  (Sep 10, 1998) Salem starts the process of teaching Brandon how to fight.

  (Oct 11, 1998) By this time, Salem was officially a Glass Walker. Here, he and two others go to have a little "chat" with a Shadow Lord who's suspected of homicidal tendencies. Things don't go quite as planned, however.
• Consequences
  (Oct 15, 1998) Malone chews Salem, Jeff, and Nigel out for their clumsy handling of the Black affair. This was after Malone had lost use of his legs, and that little detail is discussed alone with Nigel later.
