Songs don't have to rhyme
for them to be about things
if you try to keep the time
and hope they mean something

Guess what? You can rhyme words with themselves, too. Don't you get anything?

Musical theory was never one of my strengths. Who are you?

[whysomean]

So what do you do instead?

I'm Marceline the vampire queen. [strum strum.]

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Gardening, landscaping, fashion design...

[Wait, vampire queen? Kanaya's been hoping to meet a vampire, ever since she found out what they were!]

My name is Kanaya Maryam. I'm sort of a vampire too, I guess.

[whysomean]

Sounds really boring.

[Except the vampire thing.] Sort of? Do you just have the pointy teeth?

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[Wow, rude. And adorably in character.]

My culture refers to those with my traits as a Rainbow Drinker. The primary similarity to vampirism is that I am technically undead and I require blood to survive. The "sort of" comes from this glowing skin of mine, and the fact that I rather enjoy sunlight. I'm not to sure about other details though. I don't know much about rainbow drinkers, or vampires for that matter.

[whysomean]

So wait, you're a rainbow drinker but you don't drink colors, just blood? How does that work?

And blood's gross, so you know. Red's way better.

[sylphauxiliatrix]

It's just the colloquial name. My species has 12 major blood types, each one a different color. A rainbow drinker can feast on the whole hemospectrum. And I find blood to be rather delicious.

Can you really eat colors?

[whysomean]

Do the colors taste different or anything? What tastes like blue?

Uh, yeah. Hold on a sec. [And then she uses her fang as a straw on a conveniently appearing apple.] See?

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Wow... that's. That's certainly interesting. I've never seen someone suck the color out of something. As for your question, all they types of blood pretty much taste the same, but each is a unique experience. Blue is energizing, and makes me feel strong and confident.

I suppose I could ask you the same though, does the color red taste different than blue?

[whysomean]

Blue just looks really... sleepifying. Do any of the other colors do stuff like that?

Oh, yeah! Blue tastes like sticking a fork in an outlet. Everybody knows that! [And she's making that up.]

[sylphauxiliatrix]

That's an interesting way to describe the flavor I guess. Then again, I've never met someone who could drink the color of things.

[Looks like vampires suffer from as much variation as the rainbow drinkers from her stories do.]

If you go without feeding for a while, do you get any sort of urges?

[whysomean]

Sorta! If I don't drink red I get stuck as a bat for awhile. [Nope.]

Why, what's with you?

[sylphauxiliatrix]

If I go too long without feeding I start to feel urges that force me to try and obtain sustenance. Initially this brings about some odd behaviors, but eventually the compulsion become unavoidable and I begin to hunt for blood. I try to avoid this whenever possible.

[whysomean]

You should carry around blood pops in case you need a snack or something.

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[And Kanaya surprised herself by actually considering that morbid notion]

Unfortunatly only fresh living blood seems to hold back the hunger for long. Bottles of blood only dely the cravings for a short shile and eventually they don't help at all.

[whysomean]

[SUCCESS]

Lame. [Tries to look sad for a minute.] Oh well! I guess that means you'll just have to nom on people's necks for awhile.

[fruity_puppeteer]

Why bother with rhymes
That make sense?
Better to invent words
Like uglidence!

[whysomean]

Hey, dude, that word's pretty sweet
and you know how to lay down a beat
but I can make up words, it's true
something like a Dragazoo

[fruity_puppeteer]

Good play, you know how it goes
Now I take your dragazoo
(Sorry to keep you morose)
And raise you Belepnu

...oh my god they are having a rap battle

[whysomean]

You're way too good at
Making up words like that
Don't you have other stuff to do
Now that you've got a Belepnu?

a glorious nonsensical rap battle

[fruity_puppeteer]

Sure to you I confess
There are better things to mess
But what good will come
If I can't say Delebinnum?

[whysomean]

I guess the seas might bake
And the sky fall before I wake
And yeah that's probably wrong
But I can say Margolong

[fruity_puppeteer]

Skies flip their heads
And seas rest in beds
Your Margolong
Just Fetodonged

[whysomean]

Words are getting way boring
Who even needs them to sing?
So what Fetodonged, I don't care
And you can keep the Flonbear

[fruity_puppeteer]

Words we twist and turn
Worlds we squeeze and burn
But fetodonged to you
Is nothing like clepogoo

[whysomean]

You're some kind of dragon guy
Burning stuff when you fly
But I know something that might be new
Most of these lines end in -ooo
