First Gift | [ accidental video ]

[agodintheopen]

[ 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

[Raven smirks slightly as she watches the beginning of the video recording. It reminds her a bit of her own arrival in Adstring. When the man's face appears on screen though, her smirk fades a bit. A vampire or a demon maybe. She eyes the new arrival warily before speaking out.]

You scared off a perfectly good meal.

[Video] MARRY ME LENNETH.

[agodintheopen]

Hardly.

[ A smirk, baring fangs. ]

I don't feed on creatures that are obviously rabid.

[Video] YES. LET'S ELOPE TO VEGAS.

[feel_nevermore]

[Okay. Vampire, then.]

Oh. Do they taste different, then? Because surely you're immune to rabies, right?

[Video] WE'LL DO IT NOW.

[agodintheopen]

It takes a bit of the fun out of it. I'm all for fighting, but not when the creature is stricken to the point of insanity.

As for the blood itself? It's tainted. Immunity has nothing to do with it, if the taste does not satisfy.

[capuletnomore]

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.]

[Video]

[agodintheopen]

[ Smiles. ]

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

Yes, my dear, I am quite alright.

[Video]

[capuletnomore]

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]

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?

[hatebeingright]

Whoa-okay. Are you alright? ... Course your alright, y'just made it run off with it's tail between it's legs.

[Video]

[agodintheopen]

Am I alright? The world around me is in ruins. All that I know and love is likely gone. All things considered, I'm quite disheartened.

[Video]

[hatebeingright]

Uh. [Well, he did have a point. Amy's demeanor turns only slightly sheepish.] Sorry, I just meant- with the wolf..

This isn't.. your world that's in ruins though, if that's any sorta consolation.

[Video]

[agodintheopen]

How is that possible?

[bunny_flower]

Ara ara, you really scared it!

[agodintheopen]

Most mortal creatures fear that which they cannot comprehend.

[bunny_flower]

Indeed they do.

[agodintheopen]

What is your name, my dear?

[There will be some staring as Vincent replays the scene and re-watches is several times.

He knows several people who can od that, himself included. None of them are to be underestimated. That's something to keep an eye on.]

[Video]

[agodintheopen]

See something you like?

[ Someone who looks a lot like Louis or Armand shouldn't be staring. ]

[Video]

[ff_red_turk]

... Was I supposed to?

[A closer look will reveal that he doesn't blink as much as a human being probably should.]

Re: [Video]

[agodintheopen]

Typically, I would say no. But clearly, you are no more human than I am.

[ He knows fellow supernatural creatures when he sees one. ]
