All sorted out, but he's stuck on a shelf until I have space.

Your enthusiasm is overwhelming. [EYEEEEROLL] What's holding you back? A 'time' issue? That's a shame: I happen to have all the time in the world.

Unless someone finally manages to pry my head off back home.



[....... sniff, and wiiiince

damn you people and your muses and the sweet blood pumping through their smelly stupid veins]

... Sure are a lot of humans here in this little community—

Hey, I didn't say I was going to do anything. It's just a... [...ulp] large jump in my diet.

[I'LL TRY ANYTHING ONCE.

Even this weird 'vegan' shit.

.... Why 'vegan' that makes no sense.]

[ Just remember you've got a great big golden-eyed family around to love and support you. ]

There's always the chance to find somewhere quiet, Garrett.

[staytofight]

[UGH the prospect of 'family', my one very slight weakness.

Very slight.

Only about as slight as my weakness for traversing the unknown.]

Up in a tree, Carlisle? Or maybe I could hide in a box.

[I'm just jokin' with ya, buddy ol' pal. It's unbelievably easy to.]

[doctorfang]

[ y u gotta be like dat?]

[He chuckles.] Whatever feels comfortable for you, naturally.

[staytofight]

[because ur so kawaii, he can't help it]

I'll think of something. Can't be a nomad without knowing how to handle yourself would the slew of humanity.

[He tuts thoughtfully.]

Recalled you to have extraordinarily good control around human blood over the years. I have to say, your control's always been commendable... [Wonder if he's got what it takes. If even the smallest cut on a human comes up... What an interesting challenge that will be.] What made you convert in the first place?

[doctorfang]

[His gaze narrows, thoughtful. It's not as though he hasn't thought about this before, of course, but it seems as though it has been quite some time since he has had to speak of it out loud.]

Because of my father, I suppose. Even away from him, there was the fear of disappointing the man. [He can go deeper, but most usually wind up getting bored out of their skulls, or extremely riveted. The choice is yours, bud.]

[staytofight]

[Silly man, Garrett's best and worst quality is his curiosity.]

One of those fathers, was he?

[He wouldn't know. One of the perks of being born when dying was in high fashion. Hopping place to place without any tethers to family life was in his blood even before he became 'stone'.]

I think you've done well enough without his blessing, Carlisle. [smile] Family, good paying job, overcoming a bit of trial and tribulation, a little internal struggle with your immortal soul. The usual.

[doctorfang]

Hmm. Though I do believe he would have been fascinated by your attitude. [Concerning everything, really, not just this crazy immortal life they all lead.]

[staytofight]

[He hums thoughtfully.]

Well. Never really been much for impressing the folks, considering I had none to impress at the time. I'm not sure whether or not it's a blessing or an unfortunate circumstance.

[He gestures, open and aimless.]

Once I turned, I had no reason to go back.

[Basically, nothing changed but his pulse. Fancy that.]
