Canon is Vampire: the Requiem | No one ever said it was fair, but...

[spitefulvitae]

Screw you, mun. Screw. You.

I hate this town. I hate it. And do you know why? Oh? It's a reason you didn't even anticipate at all, is it? Not until you actually had me wander around and blunder into these assholes that I'm stuck here with. No no! No no no no no. Because apparently, the modern fictional conception of the vampire doesn't believe in things like weaknesses!

There are half a dozen other "vampires" in this happy little prison, and apparently they drink coffee and eat food and go out in the daytime and are perfectly in control of themselves and have absolutely astonishing powers.... Fuck! FUCK! This is bullshit! I've given everything to be what I am, and I am apparently still nothing in the grand scheme of things!

...

And stop laughing to yourself and rubbing your hands together about how this helps you really understand the pain of my condition! Cut that shit out RIGHT NOW.

Hurry the hell up and go get me some of my powers back so I can show these assholes what a real vampire is like.

[Whoa, a vampire? Awesome.]

Yeah, you tell 'em, sister. Kick their asses!

[spitefulvitae]

I'll do more than kick their asses. I'll drink back their power and make it mine! I'll rip out their hearts and sacrifice them to The Crone! I WILL SHOW THEM ALL!

[...oh cripes, no, now you've really gotten her going.]

[neonlights]

...wait... vampires exist, too?

[spitefulvitae]

...officially? No.

Off the record? This place is lousy with them.

[neonlights]

Man, I thought fur was an issue.

[spitefulvitae]

[Blink. Blink-blink.]

...

I suspect we've got some of those, too.

[neonlights]

[Dumb lost cub is dumb.]

Not sure if it's awesome or messed up.

mO_Om hello fellow requiem player

[tothefairest]

Oh my God, I would so sell my soul to be one of those sparkly vampires? Although you'd think they'd angst less, since they have it so good. Maybe ~angst~ is their weakness.

Oooh! Greetings!

[spitefulvitae]

[There's a faint twitch of her head.]

Sparkly spoiled vampires can fuck right off. I'll give them something to angst about, I will...

oh more VtR people hi let me love you

[indiscreet]

Oh, you have no idea, darling. Surrounded by things with bigger teeth than I thought possible -- and I mean that both metaphorically and rather distressingly literally.

...I suppose it's how it's meant to be, of course, frustrating though it seems. If it were otherwise, we wouldn't be Damned; just common monsters.

[ sporting blood potency 2, for her part, and a rather unique smell of rain and ozone ]

Clan? Covenant? You'll forgive me my curiosity, but it's so rare we find our sort around.

Such love all up in here. Oooh.

[spitefulvitae]

A Curse is a curse, of course, of course.... I think the fifties is finally getting to me.

[Blood potency 2 here, along with a scent of mildew and rot just barely concealed by too much rose perfume.]

Life is struggle and death is struggle and I will always struggle... but those parodies had damn well better be struggling with something too.

...Nosferatu. Crone. Finally, something familiar. And what's your affiliation?

/bites delicately

[indiscreet]

[ Her lips thin somewhat at the mention of the Crone. The Haunt bit was obvious enough, in its way -- she had that...feeling about her -- and it might not be the most pleasant thing to be around, but she had rather appreciated the other woman's speech about struggles. It figured that the woman would have to be a heretic; it was like she couldn't walk a yard in Kindred society without tripping on one of them. Or maybe that had just been Chicago. ]

I...see. Lancea Sanctum. Daeva. [ the slightest lift of her eyebrows - either subtly superior or anticipating commentary or both ]

And I can only agree: why should they escape God's judgment any more than we? [ she might not always go for the full-throttle Lance spin on things, but nothing brings it out in her quite like a member of the Crone ]

Oooh la la

[spitefulvitae]

[She could take a guess at the woman's covenant just by the initial reaction. Another pretty and misguided one. But her reaction in turn is just a smile and a shrug. Was it supposed to bother her? It rarely bothered her. She had been spoiled by a city full of apathetic and disorganized members of the Lance.]

They have a role to play, just as much as we do. They should play their role, and turn as the wheel turns.

But they won't. [She huffs sharply.] I know some Ordo that would love to spend quality time with a few of them...

V:TMer who plays V:TR reporting in!

[diana_abel]

Oh, did you get sent to Stepford? My mun totes checked that place out before shipping me off to the City of Sin!

And the other vampires there totally eat and drink. Unfair!

WoD vamps are good vamps.

[spitefulvitae]

No no, Mayfield. Mayfield is like Stepford on... on meth.

...A City of Sin sounds infinitely more fun, stupid food-eating vampires aside.... but my mun has misgivings. Do they cover the whole "sin" spectrum, or are they more... tightly focused?

I see my LARP group has attacked you!

[diana_abel]

Oh, pick your favorite of the Seven Deadly and you'll find it.

Stepford on meth, though. How the hell are you dealing with that?

My own LARP group has already done a number on me :D

[spitefulvitae]

Hmm... I'm fond of envy. And pride. And wrath.

As for how I'm dealing... Not terribly well. My mun seems intent on having me round up all the drones in my house and sacrifice them. I'm sure everyone will love that.

[truffulacide]

If it helps? I think you're plenty scary the way you are now. In fact, if you got any more terrifying you'd just end up looking silly.

[spitefulvitae]

It's not helpful, but it's flattering.

And trust me. When I'm at my best, it's not silly at all.

[truffulacide]

Same difference in the end, right? It's not like your competition has much to offer in the way of scariness either, if what you're saying is true.

Can you maybe settle on being 1/3 of your best? That's a pretty healthy amount; it doesn't overdo things.

[spitefulvitae]

"Scary" is a matter of how much it makes you fear for your life. Some of them seem ineffectual. But I don't have definite proof of it, so I won't judge yet.

I'm barely at 1/20th of my best, with how badly this town has scaled my power back!

[ooeeooahah]

If it makes you feel any better, my mun sneezes when your olfatory aura gets mentioned.

[ She shrugs. ] Probably won't, but there's something.

[spitefulvitae]

It's so powerful it transcends text and monitors, does it? I think I might be overdoing it a tad....

[ooeeooahah]

Nah, she's allergic to mold and mildew, which is why she keeps nudging me to offer healing. You've been so angry lately, I hadn't found time to ask if it would even work.

[spitefulvitae]

Aaaah. And I thought it was a perfume allergy...

Pfft. Whatever's wrong with me, it's meant to be that way and nothing can fix it. Save your energy. And stay out of my head, while you're at it.
