I- *Clare's turn to sigh* believe you, mostly. But... why are you different from all the other vampires here?
Especially the not harming people aspect, as the common denominator I've seen for vampires is a constant need to harm people.
I don't want to sound like this place has caused me to become a bit paranoid, but at the same time if I had been more paranoid in my earlier dealings with non-human entities I might be in less trouble if I were. So I think that gives me a reason to not be entirely trusting.
I totally understand your concern, okay? It makes sense. But you can't let this place define the supernatural for you... My parents chose to give me a soul when I was born, so that I could empathize with humans better.
*Armcross* Every time I lie by omission I get yelled at.
So you and your parents don't eat people? If you don't feed off the living what do you eat? Because you wouldn't exactly fit any definition for vampire if you ate pizza.
I don't think you're bad, but its really hard to shake that the one constant lesson I've had for the past six months is most supernatural creatures only care if I live or die to kill me.
Ah.... I don't hunt. My parents have gotten us chased out of plenty of cities because old habits die hard or whatever. I still drink blood. I have to... but... Blood banks are just fine by me or whatever.
[She laughs and gets a liiiiiiiiiittle sidetracked] I actually can do this really hilarious trick with a jelly donut or calzone.... Great party trick.
[she sighs] No, I totally get that. But I've been stuck here for how long? And I haven't attacked a single innocent. [She bites her lip] Even after I faced off with that creature and it was suggested I feed off the empty people.
*Great Clare, way to be a jerk.* I'm not going to yell.
Oh. Well, I guess that makes sense... *Why would parents give her a soul, that's kinda not sense.*
The only other person I know who eats people has attacked here, and I was told he was almost trustworthy. I... personal space bubble rule? I think I'm okay if there's two feet or more between us at any given time unless we're actively fighting something.
I can see you're a good... *pause for word* person, but yes. The drinking blood thing freaks me out.
Sorry... but if the roles were reversed, wouldn't you do the same?
My only experiences with the supernatural have only ranged from annoying to deadly. Even the few good supernatural events for me here haven't been anything I can call good. I want to trust you... and maybe I will eventually.
And if anyone doesn't give you at least this much benefit of the doubt I will stand up for you. Just... I don't carry much weight with the adults.
The drinking blood thing is the only way I stay alive. Or undead, as it were.
I'm not sure. I've never been anything except for what I am, Clare. I can empathize with the strangeness of this, but I can't exactly put myself in the other situation.
I'm stuck here too... Just like the rest of you. And when no one will trust me, believe me, it gets to be a really lonely place...
I don't need you to stick up for me... I'm over 2,000 years old... I've been through enough to deal with this. Trust me.
I'll try to trust you but it won't be easy... if it were easy it wouldn't be trust. Still, I'm going to be freaked out by drinking human blood. Because I'm human.
I don't want you to be lonely, and I don't want to push you away. It's just how things will have to be right now.
*...she looks really good for her age, Clare's a little startled for a moment.* I would be careful anyway, a lot of people here kill vampires and don't know of any good ones. If you can handle that, fine, don't take up my help. Otherwise I am here.

Also you've been lying about what you are.

Same for Fiona.

The whole [mimes her fangs] thing really freaks people out once they learn about it.
[ :| But she can't help but be a little offended by the bubble rule.]
Deal.
