A...vampire? What's a vampire, Hubert?

[Headtilt. Is Little Bro okay?]

A vampire is an immortal being that drinks blood from humans...

*just fine, though...little sis in this case :3*

They drink...blood?

[Hubert that just sounds creepy.]

I guess some people might be scared of them. Is that why you say not everyone wants to play with one?

Yes, they do...

*Not too creepy...at least where she's at. Though she is used to it since she had been acting food-source...*

Scared is a possibility, but there are quite a few vampires around where I'm at, and I honestly think a lot of people think it's a boring and tiresome 'plot point'.

I've never heard of them before. Are they really that common?

[Sophie isn't too scared herself. She doesn't exactly bleed and isn't human, after all. Though she could perhaps be mistaken for one easily enough.]

Are you sure you're okay?

In our world, they don't exist, only in stories. They can be common in other games at least.

*There's a small smile*

Yes I'm fine. My mundane is rather happy to see there are more people from what she calls our 'canon'. Few and far between sometimes.

I see. But where you are, these vampires are real. There are a lot of different people in these 'games'. So I guess that isn't so surprising, right?

[There's a slight smile at that.]

That's good. And she is right, there aren't as many of us as there were.

It's not too surprising. But there are a lot of people that could be worse than vampires.

*Ah~ That's what she likes seeing.*

It's unfortunate, honestly. Though even she admits she needs to do a bit of a canon review.

I guess so. Vampires don't have a choice, do they? To hurt someone. To take their blood.

[At least, that's what Hubert made it sound like. But people, people do have that choice. Whether to attack someone.]

Mine is replaying it recently with a friend. They're recently starting on the 'Lineage and Legacies' part.

Luckily, the ones here, usually the ask first, or they have someone willing to give their blood. It doesn't hurt that badly...

*Yes, that's very true.*

It's been years since it was played, and when it was played, she just watched. Maybe soon she'll replay it.

I hope not. I guess either way I couldn't offer even if I wanted to, if I were there.

Maybe replaying it will help? If she seems nervous or unsure, what's the word 'rusty'?

Well...maybe? Just a little.

[Have a headscratch. He'd be freaking out a whole lot more right now if he and his mun hadn't already checked in on the turning thread a while ago.]

I hate to ask, but what kind of thing?

I'm not going to bite anyone unless they offer...

*Ah, we wondered if you had caught it - sorry we kinda dropped the other one >>;;;;;*

The whole reason I considerably turned...

Hubert, you know I wouldn't just abandon you. Even if things have...changed, even if you're not human anymore, I'll still do everything I can for you.

At least, I will if you'll let me?

[Yeah, we kind of figured that, but couldn't really do anything else because everything was locked, so. /nervous laugh.]

[But hold up--]

Wait, do you mean...!

...

...

...

...

...Do you mean I'm going to be an uncle?!

Of course, Asbel, seeing as you two have considerably planned it out in the first place.

*~~[I'll make one here shortly that isn't locked because she does need to play some outside of the other canon :3]~~

Ah...hah...oh we forgot about that certain aspect :D OOPS! But hey, she's calm...for the most part :D kinda calm :D? She's not going to show it~*

There's a possibility. The pair have been chatting constantly about it whether to keep it an actual game or make it actually happen...they've picked a gender. I wouldn't worry too much until they decide to start picking names...

*Like with pets..."you name it, you keep it" kind of thing*

[After his initial shock, the idea of being an uncle slowly starts to sink in. Who'd have thought... An uncle! Maybe.]

We-- we've just talked about it a little, that's all. Besides, this isn't about us, Hubert - it's about you. If you'd rather...feed off of someone else, then. I wouldn't agree, but I'd still respect your decision.

[And that's why he's not going to make a fuss. At least, not as much of one.]

I dunno, Hubert. Your mundane seems to really enjoy making you uncomfortable... I think I'd be a little worried if I were you.

[The end of the world is coming, Asbel's telling Hubert to be on her guard. Talk about a role reversal. He'll think about it for a few more seconds. Huh. Hmmmm.]

I'm feeling a boy. It's a boy, isn't it?

Edited 2015-07-17 01:47 (UTC)

*ah there's a smile, though she's going to hide it with adjusting her glasses*

It may have been small, but I'm up for it. You're my brother after all.

[That's a first...it's kinda cute...until she actually started to giggle.*

You're for this too? They're actually voting girl.

[His shoulders sag. He'd felt so confident! How could he have screwed that up when he had a 50-50 chance?!]

--Oh. So , a girl. Uh. Well, I mean. I don't know actually? But, whether it happens or not, if it does--...then, I think you could make a great mother, Hubert.

[He doesn't know how to feel about it, really, but he wants to be supportive. After all, Hubert's been through a lot lately. A softer expression forms on his face when she starts giggling about it.]

And you're my sister. [More seriously:] Besides, even if you drink too much of my blood, you won't hurt me.

It's not entirely decided. Boy or girl, I'm sure they'll enjoy Uncle Asbel.

*Ok, the whole idea was kind of funny...*

They'll have to learn how to fight, and you'd be best to teach them as well.

*Oh, oh her cheeks will turn red*

I don't know if I will be or not...

*But shaking it off, her smile was soft*

Don't worry, Asbel, I'll be careful.

[Asbel flushes slightly. He doesn't know why, but thinking of himself as an uncle is kind of embarrassing, but not in an entirely bad way. After all, it is Hubert's child.]

Wait, are you actually saying I would be best for that? [He raises an eyebrow at her.] Hold on, I need to find Pascal. Maybe she can throw some kind of recording device together so I can always go back to that one time you practically admitted I was a better fighter than you.

Of course you will. [His smile returns and he reaches for her hands.] And that's just it. I've given it some thought, and I don't think there's any chance of that even happening. If you get a little too carried away, I'll just ask Lambda to help.

*There's a bit of a laugh, ok, one admittance - only admittance.*

I'll be too busy making sure you don't end up hurting them. And I'll be helping as well...as would the father.

*At least they're considerably calm about all of this* Ah, you have Lambda with you?

[Asbel frowns as he quickly protests.] I'm not that reckless!

[And a nod.] Technically he should be with me, even if the pictures my mun uses don't exactly reflect that. We fought him a while ago - at least where I'm from.

[And the dreaded question. Asbel doesn't want to be the one to ask it, but he's an adult and he's going to quit sulking and act like one.]

So, uh, who's the father, Hubert? I'm guessing...one of the vampires?

I beg to differ.

*She'll nod as well.* Sometimes images of you with Lambda are few and far between - we've looked...

*There's a small hum. Yes, the father is one of the vampires. My sire to be exact.

[Asbel ~~pouts~~ frowns again.] I wouldn't put a little kid in danger, at least not on purpose.

It's not all that hard? My mun has a friend who captured a bunch of moments from our times together. A lot of them are from the time I've been with Lambda.

[The frown stays put. The only sire he knows means about the same thing as "Your Majesty" and king.] Your "sire"...? You mean, the one who turned you into a vampire in the first place?

If the time comes, I'll trust you enough. *though she'd still watch like a damned protective mother :D;*

My mundane had to actually pause and watch her husband play so she could get decent images - she cosplayed you a long time ago ~~*And Hubert too, but those images don't exist TAT;*~~

Ah, yes...apparently they're known as a 'sire'.

[Geez, Hubert, you've got no faith in him.]

Cosplay, huh? Richard mentioned that once. But whenever my mun needs pictures, she just uses something called 'Youtube'. Apparently there's a moving picture on there that covers our whole lives called 'Tales of Graces: The Movie'. She says it's really easy to check up on things watching it.

So... vampire king. Or vampire dad, she says. I guess that...makes sense? And you became a vampire so you could be on even footing with them?

*Nope, not at all ♥*

Ah, she used that same thing as well. Especially the last 'video' as she called it with you and Lambda going against Little Queen. *And ignore that if that is indeed a spoiler for you :D;;; OOPS!*

He's certainly not a king or dad...*oh god, if she even told him that...though the mundane is loving that explanation* That, and I was concerned that the possible child would be vampire...and as a human, there was a large possibility that I could end up hurt or even dead...so it was a precaution...as a vampire, I can have no worry about ending up hurt and the child will have a mother if it comes to it.

Edited 2015-07-17 04:06 (UTC)

[There are no spoilers for the mundane. The mundane spends entirely too much time absorbed in Graces. Asbel, on the other hand...] ...Wait, who did we fight?

[But forget that, because that last little part about the dangers involved grabs all of this attention.] You didn't say you could've died!

*Oh that's at least a good thing :D blinking, she's surprised by that question - not of the same world or timeline she sees* Little Queen?

*Ah, now she'll have to calm him down.* It's but a possibility. As a child, it may not know its own strength. I didn't want to take that chance.

Edited 2015-07-17 04:43 (UTC)

[Nope. It's not clicking, but he looks worried even beneath his sudden outburst.] D-did Richard get engaged?!

It seems to me like you're taking lots of chances, Hubert! I- I'm worried about you! If something else were to happen...!

[Of course, she's a vampire now, so that seems a lot less likely.]

No! Richard didn't get engaged. *What on earth...* She's from a different planet.

Asbel, there's no need to worry about me. I can take care of myself. *at this point, what could go wrong :D ~~famous last words~~*

Edited 2015-07-17 05:05 (UTC)

She's from a diff--you mean she's from Fodra? [Funny how he looked almost relieved.]

Hubert, come on! [He was at least trying to cool off.] If I got turned into a werewolf or something and told you I was going to have puppies, you'd be worried, too. Besides, someone has to look out for you.

Yes, considerably...

*Looks almost horrified* Asbel, don't say such things - that is a possibility at the hotel as well. *yes...she'd be worried and questioning the hotel even more - please no not her brother*

[But he thought only Psi and a few other humanoids remained on Fodra? Who is this "Little Queen" anyway? He tries asking his mun but all she does is shrug and look away. It figures.]

But don't you see? It's the same thing! So whether you can take care of yourself or not, I'll still worry about you.

[Actually, Asbel, there are a few distinct differences between that scenario and Hubert's situation...]

B-besides! A baby is a much bigger deal than a few puppies are. Especially a baby that might have special needs and super strength.

Edited 2015-07-17 16:09 (UTC)

*A lot of differences...there could be more than one puppy for instance...ah she'll shake her head not wanting to think about it*

Puppies would be just about the same, Asbel. *Though there's a smile* At least you'll be able help take care of the child if it comes to pass.

[Why not, Hubert? You said yourself he made a cute dog. His puppies would probably be just as lovable! --Yeah, okay, that's kind of weird.]

They're not exactly the same! [Puppies don't drink human blood and they can't really hurt you. All they can do is wet the carpet and chew on your favorite shoes. But he'll let that go.] But if it does...you can count on me. I'll be the best uncle she (or he) ever had.

[Definitely.]

[Weird, but oh god...it'd be just as adorable...she'd be confused on where they came from but...puppies!]

Thank you, Asbel. I do really appreciate it.

Mhm. [A nod.]

And, just so you know, it doesn't bother me - or us. You being a vampire, or even you being my sister instead of my little brother. It's different, but I don't think it's a bad thing as long as you're okay with it.

Actually it...kind of sets you apart... [And he'll rub the back of his head again. Take it as you will.]

[There's a few blinks, and an actual blush.]

That means a lot, Asbel...to both me and the mundane...

[Goddamn it, now she's flustered...]

Then, I'm glad.

[Yeah, he's not even sure what else to say about that. So he'll settle for keeping a hand in his hair and dropping his gaze to the floor.]

[Hey, there'll be a sheepish kiss to that cheek; such a loving brother*

Me too.

[Hey, don't embarrass big brother in a public place! Suffice it to say Asbel flusters, his face turning tomato red in less than five seconds.]

A-anyway!! I'll see you around, so, I'll...see you around.

[Totally nailed it.]

R-right...

*Yep, they're siblings...both of them flustered beyond absolute belief [they're so cute :3]*

Entertained, but only so much...
