Voice-testing while waiting for his game to start up

[richard_iv]

Most people would be in bed at this time of night, Miss Mun. I don't know why you're still up voice-testing me. It's not as if you have a particular affliction that prevents you from sleeping all day and all night. No, see, I'm the vampire here, and you are only human. I suggest you tuck yourself in before you - what was the term again? - keyboard smasdlfjaehg

A vampire...

[ Oh someone just said the magic word! It's not everyday that Augustine gets to meet a real bloodsucker. Hopefully this one won't sparkle. ]

Is something you really should announce in public?

[richard_iv]

[ Richard, most decidedly (and to the great relief of his mun), does not sparkle. He'd demonstrate, but it wouldn't really be good for his health. ]

Hm? [ ... ] Oh, I hadn't realised we had company. Who might you be?

[immortalrose]

Just another passerby, a wanderer even. I couldn't help but overhear you a moment ago.

[ No demonstration is in order here! Augustine will simply take his word for it. ]

The walls around here are awfully thin.

[richard_iv]

I must keep that in mind. [ After all, who knows what sort of people might be wandering around? People who don't like vampires, for example. ]

You are a wanderer, you say? We're alike, then. [ A pause as he rubs his nose to cover a deep inhalation through his nose. He seems surprised by what he detects through it but doesn't say anything, releasing the breath slowly. ]

[immortalrose]

[ Precisely! ]

Are we truly? Then I'm glad to meet another wayfarer from these parts. I was beginning to grow bored.

[ Of course Augustine doesn't notice any of that since he's too busy gawking this man. Was he truly a vampire like he claimed himself to be? If so, how come he looked so youthful and full of vigor? It's odd! Aren't all vampires suppose be haggard and gaunt in appearance?

Apparently not. ]

Forgive my curiosity but are vampires truly related to Kazikli Bey as the lore states?

[richard_iv]

[ The blatant gawking is making him a little uncomfortable, truth be told, but he covers it with a faint smile. Gawking is decidedly better than screaming and staking. ]

The kazik-- ah, no. Well, I don't believe so. The research I've done thus far would suggest that is a myth.

[ His mun isn't sure either, but the answer is most likely no. ]

[immortalrose]

Darn!

[ He snapped his fingers dramatically and sighed. ]

How I had hoped for the legends to be true but like all good stories; the author often over embellishes for the sake of storytelling.

[ Finally realizing how awkward entire conversation must be, Augustine quickly changes the subject for something more universal. ]

Tell me, how long have you lingered here in these parts? Surely your mun plans to send you off somewhere.

[richard_iv]

[ There's definitely more genuine amusement in his smile now. ]

Our kind might not be descended from Kazikli Bey, but Miss Mun tells me Dracula does exist. Apparently he is quite the 'douchebag'.

[ All that fame from Stoker's book went to his head. Tsk tsk. ]

I'm destined for a small community whose set-up is not quite complete. It is on a site called 'InsaneJournal'. Perhaps you've heard of it?

[immortalrose]

His Highness would most certainly have an ego but it's quite disappointing to hear.

[ There goes his big dream of someday meeting Dracula. He's certain it would end badly especially since he's an archangel. ]

I've heard of that place before but only sparingly at best. Is it truly a realm worth visiting?

[richard_iv]

I've only explored it sparingly so far. However, it looks to be a far more open place than the one we are currently inhabiting. It allows for a far greater range of expression than this 'Dreamwidth' does.

[ 100 icons vs 15. You could say it's...insane. Okay that was terrible, I'm sorry. ]
