First Gift | [ accidental video ]

Sep 18, 2011 20:00

[ The PCD is lying sideways on the ground, showing a large, snarling, canine creature that looked like it was pumped full of steroids. Off to the side of the camera is a black, leather boot, with a steel heel. Whoever it belonged to, they weren't backing down, or flinching in any way; they appeared to be staring the creature down. Suddenly, however ( Read more... )

Are you all right, good sir?

[Yes, she realizes the creature ran away, but still, it might have tried to hurt the gentleman before he scared it off.]

[ Smiles. ]

Such manners. I had thought they died off two centuries ago.

Yes, my dear, I am quite alright.

[Video] capuletnomore September 21 2011, 00:04:04 UTC

I am glad for that. The creature looked worse than they usually do - more mad, if possible.

[She curtsies to the camera.]

Perhaps two centuries before your time, good sir. They are alive and well in the fifteenth century. We in Verona are most civilized.

[And she offers him a smile, now that he doesn't seem to be in any danger.]

I am Juliet Montague, good sir. You are new to this strange city?

[Video] agodintheopen September 21 2011, 13:57:26 UTC

Montague?

[ Wow, what the hell kind of place did he end up in? Being a literature buff, Lestat raises an eyebrow. ]

As in... from Shakespeare's plays?

From what I have been made to understand, this Lord Shakespeare wrote a play about myself and about my Romeo. Mr. Michaelis says the ending is very good!

[Oblivious Juliet is oblivious.]

And how may I address you, good sir?

[Video] agodintheopen September 22 2011, 00:41:04 UTC

[ Lestat raised an eyebrow, but didn't press the issue. What a weird place this was. ]

Lestat de Lioncourt.

[She bows her head in another light curtsy.]

Lord de Lioncourt. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[Video] agodintheopen September 22 2011, 01:31:18 UTC

I like you already, Juliet. Though I'm hardly a lord anymore.

[Video] capuletnomore September 22 2011, 01:54:01 UTC

How can one not be a lord anymore? Forgive me, but did your king or prince take away your land, Lord de Lioncourt?

[It's a horrible thought, since he seems quite kind to her. Here, at least, it matters not, and she'll call him by his proper title unless he asks her to do otherwise.]

[Video] agodintheopen September 22 2011, 01:58:19 UTC

Have you ever heard of the French Revolution?

[Video] capuletnomore September 22 2011, 02:03:12 UTC

I have not, I am afraid. I know of France, but have not been to the country myself. Until I arrived to this place, I had not left the walls of Verona.

From your manner of address, Lord de Lioncourt, I take it this was not a pleasant thing?

[Video] agodintheopen September 22 2011, 02:05:55 UTC

I had left France before it began, but the peasantry revolted against the oppressive treatment of the aristocracy. They massacred many of the noble families, including their king and queen. They then replaced the monarchy with a representative government.

[Video] capuletnomore September 22 2011, 02:19:51 UTC

[She looks horrified at this.]

Regicide? Dear Lord.... Surely there had to have been another way. To kill so many people in a brutal fashion.... It is most fortunate you were able to escape.

[Video] agodintheopen September 22 2011, 02:26:04 UTC

There was nothing else. Not after being inspired by the rebellion in the British colonies of the New World, in what is now being called the United States of America. And after what both countries have become, I'm quite impressed with results. It was for the best.

[Video] capuletnomore September 22 2011, 02:30:30 UTC

I shall have to yield to your wisdom concerning such things, Lord de Lioncourt. If it was inspired by the United States, it is after my time. I know of some here who are from that place, and it is a place of my future. If good came from it all in the end, then I am glad. I still do not like to think that such extremes were necessary to achieve it.

You said you had left France, Lord de Lioncourt. To where had you gone? From what place did you come before you found yourself here in Adstringendum?

[video] agodintheopen September 22 2011, 02:45:57 UTC

Where else? New Orleans, Louisiana. It's the vampire promised land, even in the modern age.
