still a bit shaky with her voice. be gentle with me.

[hi_bestie]

Mun - oh, look at me, using slang! How times change - I see you have relented and joined the mass exodus from LiveJournal to Dreamwidth?

Hm.

Well, I almost wish you hadn't made myself an account here. For your own sake, of course, mundane. But now, here you are inflicting your - let's be honest - laughable attempt at trying to grasp my voice, with your primarily literary based mind, onto this audience as well.

Really, your persistence with this endeavor baffles me. But, very well. I suggest that we find me some 'castmates', as you say. Penny, in particular. She's bound to be lost without me, I being her best friend, of course.

Oh come on kitten, don't be so hard on your mundane. Also aren't you just the little bit excited to see things you've never seen before?

[hi_bestie]

Not particularly. Given a choice of where I would like to be, I would choose my apartment in Pasadena, California.

[daughters_of_janus]

So you're not exactly excited to see; gods, supernatural creatures, aliens and who knows what else?

[hi_bestie]

[brief, thoughtful pause]

No.

[daughters_of_janus]

You really have no sense of adventure kitten. You need to get out and have some fun, even my prude of a sister is enjoying meeting some people here.

[hi_bestie]

I do... have fun.

Also, I would prefer it if you would refrain from calling me 'kitten'. I am, in no way, the offspring of a cat.

[daughters_of_janus]

It's just a nickname. Would you prefer duckling?

[You're on one team or another Amy, choose one.]

And do you really have fun? You have to try something new once in a while.

[hi_bestie]

[never!]

No, as I am also not the offspring of a duck.

I do. I have girls' nights out with my best friends forever, when we consume copious amounts of alcohol, do makeovers, go dancing, smoke cigars... [lowers her voice to an almost conspiratorial whisper] We can get ca-razy.

[daughters_of_janus]

Oooh now you're talking! Then I can just bring you to my nightclub cutie.

[Hugs for the nerd.]

Though I'm surprised, you look like a reader but you haven't guessed what I am yet.

[hi_bestie]

You are a human female with... considerably bodacious secondary sexual characteristics, are you not?

[daughters_of_janus]

Well I used to be that. Here this might help.

[Rather suddenly the flush of color to her body would disappear as well as her warmth. Rather quickly it was evident that when she wasn't trying she was as cold as a corpse.]

[hi_bestie]

Hm. Your core body temperature is like that of a corpse, meaning that you are dead. However, here we are, conversing and dead people are not capable of conversing, let alone standing up unsupported as you are also doing.

[daughters_of_janus]

Dear, are you avoiding the answer because you don't want to believe we exist or do you honestly not have an educated guess?

[hi_bestie]

My reluctance to conclude that you are, indeed, a vampire is stemmed from the belief that such things do not exist, except in the realms of cheap science fiction.

[daughters_of_janus]

Well we are real. You could run all the tests you want but I'm clinically dead, the only reason I'm normally warm is by forcing blood through my body.

[hi_bestie]

I see. And how precisely did this happen?

[daughters_of_janus]

My sister turned me but it isn't exactly like in the movies.

She drained my blood, pretty much all of it until I was about to die and then make me drink some of her blood. The next thing I knew I was like this.

oh dear god yes

[numbersnfigures]

My mun also favors English and history, which means that the supposedly strong scientific side of me is.. lacking, sometimes. Fortunately she's familiar with psychology and criminology, which I use on a daily basis in my job.

hahaha, I'm still so nervous!!

[hi_bestie]

My mundane doesn't even have those credentials.

[sigh]

She is under the - frankly absurd - delusion that she can glean all the necessary information a scientific mind, such as my own, would have from Wikipedia. She completely fails to take into account the inaccuracy of the vast majority of Wikipedia's articles.

[numbersnfigures]

My mun does that as well and believes it to be extremely helpful. Really it's an incredibly shoddy research practice, as from what I understand Wikipedia can be edited by anyone and thus could contain an obvious bias.

I prefer to do research using actual books, not the computer anyway.

[hi_bestie]

The exact point I continually make to my mundane and which she subsequently ignores. I suppose it is the cross one must metaphorically bear when they occupy the headspace of a lesser mind.

Books are a handy tool for research, I agree. However, it is the quick and easy access provided by a computer which would 'tip the scales in its direction', as it were.

[numbersnfigures]

I don't particularly like computers, despite the fact that they are undoubtedly what the future will look like. I cannot touch the information on a computer like I can in books.

Plus they give me headaches.

[hi_bestie]

Hm. Then the future, for you, looks to be one filled with migraines.
