(no subject)

You're probably wondering where I've been. The answer is pretty simple, though.

Reading.

Yeah, nothing as dramatic as you were probably thinking. I haven't been brooding on my situation or planning some elaborate escape plot or anything. The way I figure it, nothing's happening at home and this place isn't going to let me out 'till it feels like it, so I'm going to enjoy the vacation while it lasts.

Besides, I'm behind on my Shadow pulps. How Grant puts them out so fast is a mystery to me, but if I'm here much longer I might see if there's an available typewriter and give my own writing a go as well. It's not like there isn't enough inspiration for stories here.

If you feel like chatting, feel free to stop by. I'm reading through one of my favorite Doc Savage stories, but I've read it before so a little conversation wouldn't do me wrong.

[ooc: mun is heading home from work. much love to all and I'll be back in an hour or so]

This gets her thinking, "You're a Vampire right, so even though you like you're 23, how old are you really? Did you know William?"

I laugh and shake my head.

"Nah, I'm not that old. Woke up from a bad swim a few weeks ago, to be honest. Though you're, uh, right about the vampire thing."

I look a bit bashful, and there's a reason. Mostly it has to do with all the bad press from movies like Dracula and all that, but the other part of it was that well...I don't look much like a vampire, if I say so myself.

"Wow, you are young. How did you become a vampire? I mean I know what I've seen in movies but there are so many different versions, it's interesting to learn which ones are real."

I avert my eyes, because it's still pretty painful to think about it. There's the part where I died, where a bunch of mobsters roughed me up before blowing me to kingdom come and tossing me into the icy depths of one of the Great Lakes...and then there's the part where I loved a girl who disappeared five years ago with all the warning of a single note.

"I died."

"You can become a vampire just by dying, interesting. DOes that mean that you were always a vampire and it just took the shock of a violent death to awaken it?"

She is too self absorbed at the moment to notice his pain.

I shake my head.

"No."

It finally hits her that it might be a sensitive subject for hiim. Especially since it happen such a short time ago. "I got excited. It just sounded like...." she trails off.

"It's better than not waking up, that's for sure, but it wasn't a fun time, really."

"I know." she sounds somber but perking up a bit, "Did you get any perks, other than the waking up part?"

...since she knows anyway.

I throw her a grin...and then fade away into nothing.

It feels damn good besides, but the look on her face...

She looks around quickly. SHe wasn't expecting that. But a huge grin crosses her face, she can think of a few uses for such a talent.

"Now that can be very useful."

I decide to float around behind her before materializing just enough to speak.

"You got it, sister."

And then I'm gone again.

She turns behind her when she hears the voice but by the time she looks, he is already gone.

"Alright, are you going to come back now?"

Right in her ear.

"Why would I want to do that?"

And gone again.

This is fun.

Too bad there isn't a way I can learn to do that without becoming a vampire, not that she is even sure she can.

"In all my years I've never seen, or not seen, anyone do this."

His mun, she snickers, thinks that she really needs to bring a certain character back and let him and Amanda meet...and she fears for many many priceless things when they do.

I reappear back in my sea and shrug.

"It's helpful at times."

I'm not going to say that I haven't taken things from stores while they were closed, but I have paid for them. If I'm a thief, then I'm an honest one.

whom might this fun sounding pup be?

Amanda has taken quite a few things from store, usually jewelry when the store was closed and not paid for them.

"I can certainaly think of a couple of things I would use it for."
