I know you're lonely but!

[beautiful_mercy]

Hey, what's going on here? You haven't played me in a year and now all of a sudden you're bored with what's going on with your other characters and you want to break me out again. Did you forget there are absolutely no way I can ever find Jeremy Gilbert?

Stop torturing yourself and going through game ads. It's not happening.

Oh, you're so lucky! I would seriously trade my fangs for one of those rings, but Bonnie says it doesn't work on Cainites.

[beautiful_mercy]

Well it does get--

Did you just say Bonnie? As in Bonnie Bennett?

[diana_abel]

Bennett? No. Her name is McCullough. Bonnie McCullough. Cute. Short redhead. Kinda obsessed with the ancient Druids and an Italian sociopath named Damon.

[beautiful_mercy]

Ah. Not familiar with a McCullough but I know, well, I guess knew a Damon.

Sounds like the place you come from is pretty crazy.

[diana_abel]

Well, what do you expect from a self-professed "City of Sin?"

[beautiful_mercy]

Well, in that case, I couldn't expect anything less.

[diana_abel]

So...you're the sunlight ring type, huh?

Are you evil?

((OOC: This is us: http://betenoire-logs.dreamwidth.org/profile))

[beautiful_mercy]

Is anyone truly evil? I prefer to think that I reside heavily in the grey area that most people do. I can't deny though I wouldn't be willing to do what I needed to do to achieve my ends. That's how you survive for five hundred years.

((OOC: ooh *clicky*))

[diana_abel]

Five hundred, huh? That's pretty impressive.

[beautiful_mercy]

Thanks. Couldn't have done it on my own. You can't put down roots anywhere for long because then the next thing you know they all figured out where the blood was going and bam! Mobs.

[diana_abel]

Yeah. I've been there. Sorta. Last place I was staying had a massive Cainite population. It ended in air strikes and explosions.

[beautiful_mercy]

So what exactly is a Cainite? Is that something biblical? I admit that my old testament studies have fallen by the wayside for quite some time.

[diana_abel]

Oh, Cainite is the word we use for vampire in my world. See, according to Noddism--that's our religion--the first vampire was Caine. As in, Cainte and dot dot dot.

[beautiful_mercy]

How did you become a Cainite... if you don't mind me asking that is.

((OOC: This game looks fascinating. So much info though, my head is kind of spinning!))

[diana_abel]

Oh, the usual way. Another Cainite bit me. He drained my blood, I drank his blood, yadda, yadda, yadda.

((OOC: We're fun. Feel free to ask any questions! Reserves close tonight. We have a lot of TVD characters))

[beautiful_mercy]

Do you like being a vampire? You seem pretty content. Usually the vampires I know tend to be pissed off about it.

((OOC: it looks fun! I'm used to plot heavy/character driven stuff, I'm just not sure where to start! I have an OC as well that I'm interested in getting involved with other things too))

[diana_abel]

Oh, it totally sucks.

Pun not intended.

But the way I see it, you gotta make the best of whatever crap sandwich the universe hands you. I'm a vampire. Might as well put it to good use.

((OOC: Well, if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. We're a friendly bunch.))

[beautiful_mercy]

No use crying over spilled blood, right? Never grow old, special perks. The ability to enjoy the finer things in life.

((OOC: I guess my main question is are there any major things I should be aware of when apping my character? I'm not used to coming into settings where my character may not know anyone))

[diana_abel]

And help people, of course.

((OOC: Oh, there are a lot of OCs and lone-canon warriors. Plenty of inter-canon interaction. You don't need to know anyone.))

[beautiful_mercy]

But of course.

((OOC: Aaaah reserved character! now to figure out the application process! <3))

[diana_abel]

So what's your Embrace story? Who made you a vampire?

[beautiful_mercy]

Sickness had plagued are village and my father -- he was a missionary -- begged this man in the village to save us. It was all kind of a blur but my mom and I got away and went to Europe to start a new life.

[diana_abel]

So vampirism sorta runs in the family? Mine too. Although, not quite as noble as avoiding sickness....

[beautiful_mercy]

I guess you could say that. I don't really think it's noble. I mean, plague hits, you have someone who doesn't want you to die and then he ends up being your first meal as the undead.

How does yours work out? Do you have other family members who are vampires as well?

[diana_abel]

My two sisters are both Cainites. Our father was too but...

[She looks down, sadly.]

[beautiful_mercy]

I'm sorry. It's never easy.

[diana_abel]

No. But life goes on. Or, well...unlife.

And fortunately, I've got a nice-sized collection of vampires who don't suck--no pun intended--as a new family.

We call ourselves the sisterhood of Delta Chi Pi.

[beautiful_mercy]

Delta -- A sorority? Really? I have to say that's one thing I've never been involved in. Don't tell me there's pillow fights in your underwear otherwise I'll be looking for the crazy ax murderer hiding in the shadows.

[diana_abel]

No. No pillow fights in underwear. Although my boyfriend tried to tell me that would be a good idea.

I just figured, well...

Okay, so the male vampires in Bete Noire are a total United Nations of Losers:

-The English Punk
-The Irish Serial Killer
-The Viking Megalomaniac
-The Italian Sociopath

And...well...Conrad, but he kinda defies description.

Anyway, I figured the girls needed a special place, away from them, you know? So I bought a house and how most of the female vampire population lives there.

[beautiful_mercy]

Sounds like an interesting list. A group of terrors, huh? Well, that's where you've gotta exert who exactly is in charge when it comes to you and them. Females are superior in any species after all.

[diana_abel]

Agreed!
