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!

[neonlights]

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

[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.]

[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.

[spitefulvitae]

Who says it's not both?

[neonlights]

True!

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.

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.

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!

[spitefulvitae]

Many very awesome things are also very, very "messed up" at the same time. Once you come to accept that... things become... easier? Somewhat easier. Somewhat.

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...

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?

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?

[neonlights]

Well, the world is kind of messed up in general, so that's not too big of a leap.

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.

[diana_abel]

Um...ew?

Are you sure that's necessary? You know, we kinda need people.

What clan are you, anyway?

/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 ]

[spitefulvitae]

Drones come back. Besides, they're about as nourishing as rats. No big loss.

Ah. Nosferatu! [One that reeks of bad rose perfume and rot. One that has a scarf wrapped around her neck but withered red skin creeping along her jawline.]

And you? Daeva? Mekhet?

[diana_abel]

Uh...I'm not sure what those are.

I'm a Malkavian.

[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]

That's the way to do it. Practical pessimism!
