Memories

[deathmerciful]

I first set foot on Louisianan soil in the late 1770’s. We were not Americans then, as the revolution was destined to rage on for some time. I could not tell you how old I was, for it was some time ago and I ask who can recall a clear memory of the earliest years of their lives. My father spoke to us of the battles that had weathered over the

Hm. I only catch the last one.

And I wasn't even in America in '68. Or... maybe I was... that whole decade is mostly a haze of drugs and booze. And blood. Lots of blood. I miss the hippies. [Sighs]

You drop into depressed reminiscing easily don't you? Watch out, you'll give us a worse name than we already have.

hatin' *w0rd*

[deathmerciful]

Far worse a name than cruel fiends and blood-mongerers?

The flower children were not those I paid much attention to. There was very little that held my fascinations at that time.

lol he actually vaguely likes him, Damon just fails at being friendly

[talldarksaviour]

Yes, that. No one likes a bore.

Not morbid enough for you? You really take the whole pale and broody thing seriously don't you?

Louis likes Damon, sort of.

[B| face]

I do not brood. I contemplate.

[thegooddrjones]

You really do have a lovely way of putting your recollections, Louis.

[deathmerciful]

This is something I have been told of before, yes.

Are you well, Martha?

[thegooddrjones]

I am well, yeah. How are you?

private

[It takes him a little while to reply]

Not well, cherie.

YOU MAKE MY DAY. I just had a huge Anne Rice fangirl moment.

There's no biological way for you to survive that long.

[deathmerciful]

From what I understand of the condition, it is far from biological.

[doctor_j_crane]

Is this another one of those 'magical' situations?

[deathmerciful]

If it is your need to assign words to phenomena to give them some grounding in your reality, then magic would probably be the most appropriate of terms. Alors, how to describe the undescribable?

[young_idealist]

It never occurred to me.. but if you'd lived a normal span, you'd only be a few years older than I am. I was born in 1770.

But perhaps you realized this and never remarked upon it.

[deathmerciful]

I knew you were from an age similar to my own, Armand, but I did not know how very close we actually were.

I was born to life in 1766.

[young_idealist]

Tis very strange, isn't it? An interesting coincidence.

[deathmerciful]

Indeed.

What region did you hail from?
