Comfy voice means bad things

[boundinblood]

Well, player, here we are. You've done stretches and now you're comfortable enough to start bending.

I was hoping it would never reach this point. Or that you would never seek to exercise it this way. It's in vain to hope that particular meme is never posted, isn't it?

Why not focus on something else, instead? You do have me in a game, after all. Or...or go live more of the Herald's tale. Something, anything but that blow to my integrity. I gave him my word, I'd rather not break it for anything less than life-or-death.

Oh dear ~ Having troubles with your mundane?

[boundinblood]

[Right. The vampire that isn't but could be a demon. Obviously that's just friendly concern and he's not trying to find some vulnerability...]

Right now, only talk. With any luck, it will stay that way.

[discountsatan]

[It's just friendly concern, promise.]

Do you tend to be lucky? Shall I pray for you ~ ?

[Not that he believes in any God and he is just messing around.]

[boundinblood]

[And in the span of time it took for said meme to actually appear...]

...Somehow, I want to blame you for this mess.

[discountsatan]

Oh? Isn't your mundane to blame?

[boundinblood]

The very meme she was waiting for went up when you replied! Did you or your own player have a hand in this?

[Don't mind her, she's just looking for an outlet to vent from - this particular situation isn't one she's found herself in danger of.]

[discountsatan]

Hahaha, really looking for someone to blame, aren't you ~ ? My dear livestock of a mundane has no hand in anything, as for me, I have my hand in many cookie jars, but not this one.

[boundinblood]

I'd ask how someone who was once human themselves can possibly see humans as livestock. Unfortunately, I've had that question answered for me already.

[She grumbles something under her breath. Damned not-abominations. Damned thirst for blood.]

This entire mess is preposterous. I'm told you were practically chomping at the bit when my player showed yours.

[discountsatan]

It's a very, very long time since I was human.

[And vampires don't feel in the same way as humans do, so there's that too.]

Only because you're so much fun. [Smile, smile.]

[boundinblood]

That's your excuse. They all have one. "That one has pointed ears. That one has magic. That one has less money."

[She rolls her eyes and turns away slightly, a flick of a finger from under folded arms sending an irritating spark of static electricity his way.]

[discountsatan]

[Which only makes him chuckle. So amusing.

When she turns slightly he lunges though, and he's on her in less than a second, fangs sinking into her neck, arms around her, keeping her arms down to keep her from being able to struggle easily.

Her blood is disgusting, but she's interesting, so he'll tolerate it.]

[boundinblood]

[Okay, maybe taunting the vampire was a bad idea.

Her hand goes for her staff as she sees him begin to lunge, but he's on her before she can cast anything. All she has is the leverage from her staff itself, trying to press one of the points into his skin, or at least drive him off with the painful bite of freezing cold metal.]

Get off of me, you disgusting creature!

[discountsatan]

[He's had his arm torn off several times and has broken his neck before. Sure it hurts but as a vampire that pain isn't nearly as annoying as if he was human.

He gulps down some more of her blood, before releasing her and stepping back.]

Disgusting? Really?

[He's more amused than anything.]

[boundinblood]

Yes - anyone who would enslave another for being different is disgusting, to say nothing of your answers to my questions.

[She strikes the ground with the butt of her staff, her hands glowing blue, and a wave of frost pushes at Ferid, trying to force him away. If he's unlucky it may encase him in ice.]

Now keep your distance.

[makeuponpoint]

Mundanes do seem to go at their own pace and do as they like. I hear that what you're dreading has come to pass, but it's not on you. It is on your mundane.

[Lucifer might be a fallen angel and ruler of Hell, but he's not too much of a jerk.]

I shall hope she does something pleasant for you to make up for it.

[boundinblood]

[A pleasant demon? That's suspicious, too - good thing he doesn't really resemble one.]

Thank you. It's nice to finally speak with someone reasonable.

[After, you know, dealing with that vampire up there two or three times in a row.]

[makeuponpoint]

I see you're talking to another of my mundane's muses, one who is the least pleasant one I've had to deal with in a while, so I understand how talking to someone even slightly reasonable would be a welcome change of pace.

[boundinblood]

I see I'm going to need to walk around with a repulsion barrier up from now on...

[She folds her arms, as unamused as can be.]

How do you handle living with someone like that? I can barely tolerate a meeting or two!

[makeuponpoint]

I break his neck and go elsewhere whenever he approaches.

[Yep.]

[boundinblood]

[...Well then.]

I'm afraid I can't do that so easily. I could try to paralyze him, but he can move faster than I can cast a spell.

[urdgeales]

I see you've had the misfortune of being acquainted with Ferid Bathory. You would do well to keep your guard up, as I have no doubts that Bathory would even stab his own kind in the back if it had no consequences. He would surely stab you in the back without a second thought.

[Well, this one has the fangs, the red eyes, and the pointed ears. So it should be obvious what he is. Sorry Katherine.]

[boundinblood]

Even others of his kind hate him. I can't say I'm surprised. As long as you're less...prone to sudden attacks as he is.
