oh man here we go

[anti_ventrue]

Look, I think it's time we talked. Do you like having me around? You do? Well then, how about sending me someplace? It's pretty boring just doing nothing in here.

I'm not interested in hearing excuses about not knowing what games in Dreamwidth accept original characters; that's what research is for. You're disappointing me, Mundane, and that's not a good thing to do.

Let's do this: I give you some more time. Not much. Maybe ... thirty days. Find me a game by then -- you don't even have to have an app finished or sent in! -- or I begin collecting that time you owe me with interest.

The flying is new, but otherwise nothing I haven't dealt with.

Any Diablerists to deal with in the city? I don't like being a snack when I'm supposed to be the apex predator on the list.

[diana_abel]

Not that I'm aware of. But there are only two Cainites so...not sure other vampires know what that is.

[anti_ventrue]

Well, that's good enough for me. I give my rise to power about ... six months, maybe, if that's the most of what I have to deal with.

[diana_abel]

If you harm any mortals, I'll tell him how to kill Cainites.

[anti_ventrue]

Wouldn't think of it. Collateral damage is too obvious; it would lead right to me.

[diana_abel]

Good answer.

[anti_ventrue]

I might be an undead predator of the night, but I'm not a monster.

[diana_abel]

Then I suppose we'll get along, dude. And...if you're on the up and up, maybe I'll keep my hunter boytoys away from you.

[anti_ventrue]

I'd appreciate it. I'm not here to destroy anyone. I'm just living up to my dad's wishes and my clan's expectations.

[diana_abel]

Oh geez. Daddy issues? As if we don't have enough of that going around!

[She's smirking, oh yes she is.]

[anti_ventrue]

Not quite. My dad's still alive, actually. I visit him sometimes. He knows about the Cam shit and what I am.

[diana_abel]

My dad knew too.

[anti_ventrue]

He still supports me, just like he did when I started college back in '66. All he asked of me was to be the best at whatever I did.

Far as I can tell, it's not a bad promise to live up to.

[diana_abel]

No, not at all.

[anti_ventrue]

I didn't ask to become a vampire, but as far as lives go, mine could have been a lot worse.

[diana_abel]

I always say, there are two kinds of Cainites: Those that wanted it and those that never wanted it.

You gotta watch out for that first kind.

[anti_ventrue]

So watch out for the entirety of the Tremere clan? Don't need to tell me twice.

[diana_abel]

[She laughs.]

You've got a point there. Settites too.

[anti_ventrue]

Every Sabbat member over the age of two hundred...

[diana_abel]

Most Princes...

[anti_ventrue]

Every single Methuselah goes without saying, as does the Antediluvians themselves.

Fuck, what is it with the Dark Ages vampires and their apparent desire for immortality and conquest? Is it just an old Cainite thing?

[diana_abel]

I guess so. Don't like to think about it too much. Being a Malkavian, I'm prone to freaking.

[anti_ventrue]

That reminds me: What's a Dominate Malk's failing? You know, what keeps you from being the best thing ever?

Brujahs have that temper, Tremere are super bonded to elders, Torries have nigh-ADHD attention spans...

[diana_abel]

Oh, we still have derangements. All the flaws of a Malk, none of the benefits.

[anti_ventrue]

So, still crazy, but not able to use crazy as a power? Now that does suck.
