........don't

[hiddenagenda]

It's really cute that you're pretending to worry about me after that whole spectacle. I know you're more upset about that work business, but have a nice glass of '89 and you'll at least stop caring so much.

You could just actually focus on me. It's worth it. I'm worth it. You'll see. We could do beautiful things together.

...great. A vampire Mister Tesla. It's like the universe is mocking me.

[hiddenagenda]

Mocking you?

[hawkingisabastard]

The Nikolai Tesla I know was my Creator. Also, I really hate vampires.

[hiddenagenda]

I'm so hurt that you don't like me. Or other me.

[hawkingisabastard]

Other you isn't a vampire. The only association he ever had with vampires was the time he accidentally opened a door to the vampire dimension, and he'd been trying to build an electron microscope.

[hiddenagenda]

I'd ask how you accidentally do that... but I'd have done it on purpose. How is making an electron microscope so hard? I've made better. Two words: death ray.

[hawkingisabastard]

We actually built an electron microscope. The dimensional gate that opened up into the vampire dimension happened because we tried to build a better one.

And you never built a death ray in my reality. Apparently my creation and the subsequent return to fame meant you were never desperate or insane enough to think that was even remotely a good idea.

[hiddenagenda]

[Insane? Look, only a handful of people are allowed to call him that. You? Not on the list. Good thing he ain't bothered.]

That's too bad. It turned out to be pretty useful.

[smelledapples]

Tesla.

[ Well HELLO there.]

[hiddenagenda]

That would be me, yes.

[smelledapples]

Forgive me for being a little shocked. Though, I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised.

H.G Wells.

H.G for short.

[hiddenagenda]

[HRMMMMM. Interesting... not the HG he knows.]

I've been known to be shocking from time to time. Call it a talent. Enchante. I take it you're temporally challenged?

[lifelines]

I should've known you would turn up sooner or later. And if I return to the Sanctuary and find my wine cellar lacking in its stock again, I'll find a way to make you restock it.

[hiddenagenda]

[OH NO. CHARM: ON.]

I am nothing if not persistent. And brilliant. Really, there's a list. My point is: yes, I drank all your wine. And it was worth it.

[lifelines]

Even the aged ones I was saving? [ it's up in the air whether she seriously believes he drank all of her wine or not. plus, she's got another supply sitting around somewhere that she keeps just in case. she hasn't forgotten the de-vamper in the bottle, nikola. ]

[hiddenagenda]

Several.

[Alright, he might have left a handful for her. Maybe they could share. A decent cabernet and some meaningful looks would suit him just fine. Perhaps even light repartee.]

[lifelines]

And you don't think doing something about it might be a good idea?

[ okay so she's not expecting him to restock her supply, but she has to make him work for this. ]

[hiddenagenda]

Don't you have people for that?

[lifelines]

Oh I don't know. I thought it might be more entertaining for you since you seem to enjoy draining my supply so much.

[hiddenagenda]

Entertaining? Perish the thought. I'm too busy for that.

[UNLESS SHE GOES WITH HIM....... shopping trip? Winery tour? Romantic getaway???]

[lifelines]

If you say you're too busy building another death ray, I may have to shoot you.

[ she will, don't tempt her. ]
