"God is my Oath," is he? I do appreciate a sense of humor.

How kind of you to release me. Now I suggest you find me better lodging than this.

And see to it that you locate my handmaid at once. I cannot be expected to draw my own baths.

[diana_abel]

Oh, lady. No matter where you go, I can pretty much promise a severe lack of handmaids.

[godismyoath]

Unfortunate. I'm sure I'll find a way to compensate.

[diana_abel]

Oh yeah? How you planning to win people over?

[godismyoath]

I never turn a girl away for lack of education. My ladies in waiting have the great prestige of entertaining at some of Europe's most esteemed courts. An opportunity many would be eager to seize.

[diana_abel]

Well, that totes works in theory, but there's an itty, bitty problem, dude.

If you go into one of these gamey things, you're not gonna be in Europe anymore.

[godismyoath]

..."Dude"?

[diana_abel]

Uh...sorry. My lady? I'm a little out of practice with titles. It's been a few centuries. Sorry.

[godismyoath]

Again with this time discrepancy nonsense. Very well. From which century do you supposedly hail?

[diana_abel]

Well, I was born in 1752. Just celebrated my 258th over in Bete Noire.

It sucked.

Never invite a voo doo doctor to your birthday party.

[godismyoath]

A girl from the future; my... And with claims to an elongated lifespan; I wonder...

I wouldn't dream of inviting any sort of doctor to my birthday revels, "voo doo" or otherwise. And this struck you as a good idea at the time, did it?

[diana_abel]

Hey, how was I supposed to know he was secretly evil?

[godismyoath]

My dear, I'd wager you are particularly predisposed toward this mistake.

[diana_abel]

[She sighs.]

Yeah. You're probably right.

I'm getting better at it, though.

[godismyoath]

After two hundred fifty-eight years?

[diana_abel]

Hey, I'm a vampire. Not a rocket scientist.

[godismyoath]

So you are a vampire. So I thought.

[diana_abel]

It's not much of a secret any more. Everyone in town knows.
