The time has nothing to show
i'm starting to think we should've brought Michael with us. we seem to be somewhere in the middle of England, from what Astraeia says. she's lost her accent over the centuries, but Michael's retained a little of his. not that she can't do the british when she wants to, but i guess we're suspicious to these people not only 'cause we're 'yanks', but we're travelling alone without a male escort. lovely, tossed into a time full of restrictions and unfair judgements.
as soon as it was dusk we walked into town. ok, small village would be more appropriate. the 'streets' here are nothing more than muddy paths in between buildings. good thing these shoes we're wearing seem to be leather of some sort 'cause no way could you get the muck out of anything else. of course my one and only dress seems to be some sort of muslin rather than true linen, i'd kill for a Saks right about now. thank the gods Astraeia's familiar with how to pin our hair up like everyone else's.
coming through with no cash sucked. we found what this place calls an inn and i had to try the thrall just to get us a room. i'd be thrilled that it worked if it wasn't for the fact that this place? is so not anywhere near the kind of accomodations i'm used to.
oh, and eating's something else, too. so far i've held off, but i'm gonna have to feed tonite for sure. i've never um, fed off someone before, other than Michael, and he's not here to make sure i don't screw it up. what if i bite them too hard? or take too much? or worse yet, i can't thrall them afterwards? i don't want to kill anyone, but i've gotta try it sometime so.....tonite it is.
gods, but i miss Michael, too. i can't even feel him here, it's like being totally cut off from him and i hate it. it's not helping my mood, either.
and where the hell is Izzy? we went looking for Stefan after getting rooms last night and sometime while we were questioning anyone that would talk to us she disappeared. i swear, if she took off after Stefan without even telling us she had a lead? she just better get back here, ideally with Stefan in tow. Astraeia's out looking for her and Stefan now, and since it's daylight i'm stuck here in this so-called room. maybe i'll go down to the tavern part of this crappy ass inn and get a drink while i wait for them to get back.
