Sick of being homeless

[primogen_vampirate]

Oh, for the love of the Goddess, child. Get off your bloody pot and find a place for me already. I realize that past failures make you as spineless as an earthworm, but you know I'm not going to stop bothering you about it.

Don't forget who you're dealing with, child. I am Doctor Mina Barrett, Primogen and Hierophant of the Circle of the Crone, a Valkyrien Amazon and Jack Rackham's lieutenant.

I grow tired of waiting. And you know what happens when I get bored.

[tenebratio]

Quite the list of titles, there. What does happen when you get bored?

[primogen_vampirate]

Someone ends up a fine red mist on the back wall.

[tenebratio]

Alas, if one could punch through the fourth wall. I don't think the red mist plan would help much with moving things along, though...

[primogen_vampirate]

No, but at least it would be more productive than this incessant pontification.

[tenebratio]

Perhaps she should send you somewhere where you can turn other targets into a fine red mist?

[primogen_vampirate]

I'd like that. I'm a pistol with a pair of pistols.

[tenebratio]

It's always good to know what you want.

[primogen_vampirate]

A good philosophy, my dear.

[one_winged_demon]

Huh one of you again. You know I'm actually a little tempted to test a theory.

[primogen_vampirate]

Are you?

[one_winged_demon]

Yes, I can take away what "God" gave. So I wonder if I can take away one of his curses?

[primogen_vampirate]

And what curse would that be, darling?

[one_winged_demon]

Well curse depending on your perspective. Does that help?

Also don't try lying, humans would run at me with guns blazing just as much as they would you if the general populace found out about me.

[primogen_vampirate]

I don't believe we know each other well enough, dear.

[one_winged_demon]

Marctavious.

[He extended a hand.]

The official name for my species is Abian if you're curious.

[primogen_vampirate]

Doctor Mina Barrett. Ventrue.

[one_winged_demon]

Interesting, a... friend of mine feeds off the same thing as your species.

You would compare me to the ah...Lasombra? bloodline.

[primogen_vampirate]

I'm afraid I'm not familiar.

Then again, I hardly pay attention to those pesky bloodlines.

[one_winged_demon]

Mm I may be wrong anyway, I know some bloodline has a similar feeding strategy or at least in myth it does.

While I've overcome any need to feed on anything I used to feed off the sensation of pain coming from others.

[primogen_vampirate]

Well, you must be the life of a party.

[one_winged_demon]

"used to" being the operative phrase here.

[primogen_vampirate]

So noted.

Abians aren't related to the Fae, are they?

[one_winged_demon]

No though we've been mistaken for Fae by humans before.

We're more closely related to humans than anything. We're definitely not the type to kidnap random people just because it amuses us. Normally.

[primogen_vampirate]

Ah. Good. That would put an awful damper on our relationship.

[one_winged_demon]

And power-wise most Abians just have strength and certain traits they had when they were born.

There are exceptions but we're nothing like the Fae.

Why would it bother you? Do you have experience with them?

[primogen_vampirate]

Dreadful experience with them! They made a contest out of my city.

I don't appreciate being chased down the street by a living train car.

[one_winged_demon]

Now that is dreadful.

No worries even I can't do anything like that.

[indiscreet]

Darling. Love the new look.

Really, though, you shouldn't be complaining. She gave you a chance, and then what do you do but up and leave me tragically lacking a roommate.

Yes, yes, I know we've had this argument. God knows what's become of me, though, but I can admit that I miss you.

[primogen_vampirate]

Sorry, darling. The setting just didn't agree with me.

[indiscreet]

[ She waves a hand idly in Mina's direction. ] I know, I know.
But surely you don't expect me of all people to let you off easy about anything.

So what are you planning, if it isn't keeping me company? Come, you know I enjoy a bit of gossip.

[primogen_vampirate]

I haven't decided. I suppose I should seek a place where my incredible and unique self would be critically important.

[indiscreet]

Ah, well, that just about eliminates your options, then, doesn't it. [ Really, Mina, you walked right into that one. ]

[primogen_vampirate]

How droll.

[indiscreet]

[ smirk ] I certainly thought so.

[primogen_vampirate]

Yes, well, we all know that the Lance are revered for their sense of humor. Look at the nonsense they claim to believe.

[indiscreet]

[ :| ] Well, we can't all dance around chanting while covered in spilled blood. That noble and dignified expression of Damnation we save for your sort.
