Such
carelessness. It appears to be the work of an inexperienced mage, skittish and uncertain, too young and reckless to bother burying the corpses after leeching what energy he could from the finches. Though from the fact that some still survived, perhaps he was interrupted before he was allowed to finish

It will embarrass me if you degrade yourself in public by putting yourself at the same level as the common man. If not for you, then at least put on a facade of superiority for my comfort.
You simply have yet to find a way to focus your potential. With time and experience, you will be able to control your power with more ease. Did you see the device I left outside your room? Take it and concentrate on it tonight, contemplate its workings. Take it apart if you must. And in the morning, I want you to tell me what you think its function is. This will be your first assignment.

But, hey, I do want something to do around here besides the whole grim and doom lot of everything.
And since you apparently are never going to let me leave the damn place I should get really amazingly awesome at cooking. Meh.
Wow, that's...going to be interesting to attempt; I'm more the..background type.
I tripped over that thing! I thought it was a really weird mouse trap. Or an ugly doorstop.
It's not going to blow up if I mess with it, right? And I can totally take it apart and probably break it...if you insist.

I invited you to a film and a museum exhibit in this very post. How precisely is that not allowing you to leave?
It won't harm you to take it apart, no. Eventually you will be able to discern the workings of every device with moving parts. While truly your focus will be death, death and matter go hand in hand - for what is left behind when a person dies except the wealth of objects that he had accumulated in life?

By myself. But you know, oddly, that's still more to do in a weekend than I've had in a while.
..I don't have to do something annoying like write a five page report on that movie, right? Sheesh.
That's lovely, really. I'm starting to think you have an unhealthy obsession with death. -snerk-
My wealth would be pretty easy to to gather up if I end up off'ed; since I'm not allowed to hang out with anybody else you get custody of Sigmund. And you HAVE to be NICE to him! Or I'll haunt you.

I'm afraid I cannot let you go anywhere unaccompanied for a short while. For your own safety.
And no. The film was merely for entertainment, nothing more.
I would preserve him in your memory. And unfortunately you would not be able to haunt me. For long, at any rate. I would simply banish you if you became too intrusive.

Really, what am I going to do? I dealt with the craziness on my own for years, pretty sure I still can for short periods now too.
No promises if I'm drunk, I get stupid when I'm drunk.
Lighten up Hector, it'll be fun! Movies are fun.
I'm going to have to live forever now because you're an ass. Just saying. :P
Banishing...bah, your life would be dull[er] without me!

Drunkenness is not allowed in my home. All good things in moderation.
And how do you manage to accomplish that? Perhaps I should avoid introducing you to my vampire acquaintances. I wouldn't want you to become tempted.
It would certainly be quieter, at any rate.

Says the guy that has a wine cellar the size of a small country.
Why do I get the feeling we're not talking Lestat here? I like my pulse anyway.
Hey, I'm not that loud! I haven't done anything loud yet.

It's merely a small pantry. Indulging in a glass of wine now and then is clearly not resorting to drunkness.
As odd as it may seem to you, vampires are indeed real.

That's just stopping at the fun part. At least you avoid the hangover though.
Great, so walking dead people are also around. That only slightly worries me. It doesn't however surprise me very much, I've met people I could have sworn had to sleep in coffins. Have you been to many of the clubs in this city? Crazy stuff. Dead people probably isn't as crazy as what's around there.

Hangovers are especially not allowed. I don't need you vomiting on some important artifact.
You needn't worry; most undead wouldn't enjoy feeding from you - or at least the aftereffects, anyway. Your blood is quite potent. Hallucinogenic, even.

Odd, you don't look eighty, really.
Can we not talk about being chewed on? There's something a little disturbing about that. Almost as disturbing as the fact that apparently my blood is toxic.
Reply
It's not disturbing; I've been bitten countless times. And your blood is not toxic. Instead, think of it as a recreational drug.

Which I live in.
Why? Those are teeth, well, fangs, they hurt! That's like...masochistic.
oh.
OH.
Hahaha...okay, end of that conversation. Ahemn.
Recreational drug...I bet.
Reply
Oh, of that I have no doubt. I certainly must be masochistic to have taken on such a protégé.

Hey! Don't be like that; I make your life exciting and interesting! You just never give me a chaaance to!
