015 [Open Spam for whoever wants to be within 5 feet of this creep]

[Armand's busy in the library, pacing and otherwise, not at all looking like his usual creepy, arrogant self. Drinking from Neil had left him with a shaky hold on his memory and reality; he needed something to root him to this place, this dimension. More than anything, he didn't want to think about those memories that had been scraped up by the

He's like a vampire! Only alive!

Edgar, meanwhile, was sitting in the library...reading about vampire bats. Stereotypical, yes, but he felt like understanding their physiology might help him understand his own better, and what it was about blood that he needed that kept him from weaning himself of it.

Woo woo!

[whattasteisthis]

[Armand didn't quite recognize the smell of the other being in the library as he turned his head to look over at Edgar. The vampire pulled down another book as he moved toward the boy. The alternate appearance made the vampire curious. He sat down at the table across from Edgar, saying nothing.]

[notonedrop]

Looking up at the stranger, noticing that the man seemed interested in him for some reason. "Hello, did you need something?"

If he had something he wanted to ask, he might as well ask it...though Edgar realized there was a chance that he just wanted to stare.

[Armand opened his book and turned it to a page on the mythology of vampires before looking up, smoothly. He didn't particularly need anything from anyone, but there was no reason to not try to recruit another creature to his posse of vampires (which seemed to have gone down in numbers since his re-arrival).]

You are not human.

[His words were cool and calculating, but not accusing.]

[notonedrop]

"I've noticed." He never tried to claim he was human. Doing so would just be ridiculous, considering his pointed ears and fangs.

[whattasteisthis]

[Armand looked amused by that as he stood, his fingertips trailing along the table as he moved slowly down his end of the table in a pacing manner.]

Do you wish to be?

[notonedrop]

"Well...yes." Why was he asking? Could this man make him human?

[whattasteisthis]

[Armand snorted and stopped his pacing for a couple moments.]

What a foul idea.

[notonedrop]

"But if I was human, some people would like me, and I wouldn't have to be alone all the time or work so hard to be liked only to be chased down by a mob even after all that effort."

[whattasteisthis]

[Armand rolls his eyes, hands folding in front of his chest.]

Why work so hard to please those that cannot be pleased? Humans will never accept you. They are useless to our kind.

[Except Rex. But Rex is always the exception.]

[notonedrop]

"Because where I come from, there's no option other than humans. And me, but there's only one person like me that I knew of."
