On the application for distantskies

[mutantmurine]

Young lady!

I-I have not lived as long as I have because I watch soap operas. I must insist you not put that on this form you have. It is through discipline, knowledge, and meditation that one--

--no, I will not tell you which show is my favorite so you can become immortal.

My Granny Pie always said, "a laugh a day keep the wrinkles away!"

[mutantmurine]

Your grandmother is a wise woman. Though, I cannot say soap operas are supposed to be humorous by nature...

[thebadturtle]

S'okay, Master, we all got our weaknesses.

[mutantmurine]

I do not think that is how this young lady sees it.

[sailorlaughter]

Really? I think singing soap sounds hysterical!

[mutantmurine]

Singing soap...

[Pony-san, you and he are clearly on different trains of thought.]

I suppose that would be something different for a change.

[onetrueshredder]

How amusing.

[It has never occured to him ever that these mutants have any life at all outside being a ninja :V]

[mutantmurine]

[Oh, regardless. Splinter is quickly on guard, the fur on his back standing up, his can in hand.]

Shredder.

[sailorlaughter]

Yeppy-deppy! Maybe my friend Twilight can make us some, she's really great at magic!

[mutantmurine]

...I see.

If you do make this, would it be all right if I were to procure a bar of this special soap?

[sailorlaughter]

Well, duh! You're the one who gave me the idea, silly! You get the first one!

[mutantmurine]

I would be honored.

[And he knows exactly who he needs to give it to.]

[daughters_of_janus]

Wow, you're like a Nosferatu's dream come true.

[hi_howyadoin]

Soap operas actually do make you immortal. Little known fact.

[mutantmurine]

...Is that so?

[Though he speaks calmly, it it clear from the air around him that he is slightly tense. He knows what a 'nosferatu' is, after all. And the sense from this girl...her scent...it is not exactly one he finds at all encouraging.]

[daughters_of_janus]

Oh don't be a fussy rat. I'm not going to hurt you and besides most of us find animal blood to be disgusting. The Nosferatu are the only ones I know of with a real taste for it.

[mutantmurine]

With all due respect, immortal, I must humbly request you not give the young lady...ideas.

[She has DVR and SOAPNet on her TV, after all...]

[mutantmurine]

[That's not entirely a comfort, given April and Casey...

The tenseness loosens, but not much.]

You must forgive my skepticism, but what guarantee do I have that you would not hurt others I share an acquaintance with?

[daughters_of_janus]

Because a samurai sword works a lot better on a vampire than a gun?

[She still has a calm air to her.]

Also unlike a lot of us I LIKE humans. I'm not going to force them into anything they don't want, there are plenty of people willing to let me have a bit of their blood.

[mutantmurine]

It is not the type of weapon which makes one dangerous. No weapon is, in the end, truly superior to another in any battle. It is the hand which guides that weapon that decides the level of danger in any confrontation.

[All he has is her word. He narrows his eyes briefly, before finally, relaxing more. Though of course, he is not entirely so. And not necessarily because of who she is. There are few people he is ever completely relaxed around and a ninja must always have some guard up.]

In any case. I do not use a katana, nor do I have one.

[daughters_of_janus]

Oh could of sworn you used one.

[She decides that as an offering of peace she'd help him with something he had wrong.]

That's not exactly true when you're dealing with vampires from my world. A gun will do very poorly, those holes heal up really quick. A blade or claws though? Those can do some real damage.

[hi_howyadoin]

Whoa, hold on! Just ... hear me out, will ya? You know those elder relatives? The ones who smoke thirty packs a day, live in hoarded squalor, and spend all their time either complaining about kids or watching soaps?

You know how some people wonder just where they get that vitality?

Well, now you know.

[goddamnbatsman]

Hey Master Splinter. I'm guessin' your mun's one of the [does the universal sign for crazy] ones, huh?

[mutantmurine]

...Hnnn...

[Splinter knows its a bad sign when Casey, of all people, picks up on it.]

I am afraid that would be the best way to describe her.

Have an AU Foot!Leo?

[fearlessmayo]

...Soap Operas?

[He's trying to imagine the leader of the Turtles watching soaps... nope, he can't imagine it.]
