Bonjour, petits mortels. Allow me to introduce myself; I am Lestat de Lioncourt.

It ~~me semble~~ seems to be that I have found myself gracing San Francisco with my presence against my will and I ~~je ne suis pas sûr~~ am not certain what to make of that, et je ne l'apprécie pas non plus.

J'étais pour la dernière fois à la Nouvelle-Orléans entourée par un violent ouragan et maintenant je suis ici.

What a strange evening it has been.

[OOC Note: All French dialogue can be translated if you hover over it.]

	Love NOLA, man. The food. The culture. The music. Were you there during Katrina? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It is a magnificent city that I love dearly. Yes, I was, though I must admit that I do not remember the specifics of that storm, though I do recall she was incredibly powerful. Les années se sont mélangées, j'en ai peur. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How long have you lived there? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is my understanding that the answer will likely not come as a surprise to those of us who are ~~piégé~~ displaced. I have been there since 1910. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not a surprise, but that math still fires different parts of my brain that want to understand it all. Before I start asking all the questions, I'm Hardison. I haven't been here that long, but if you have questions, I can try to answer them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 02:24 am UTC (link)
	Merci, that is very kind of you. I will gladly answer any questions you may have. Where are you from, Hardison? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noplanm 2024-07-14 02:57 am UTC (link)
	Immortal? Here and there. I move around a lot in my line of work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 03:30 am UTC (link)
	Is it that obvious? And it would seem that your work has taken you to New Orleans. How long were you there for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noplanm 2024-07-14 03:52 am UTC (link)
	You speak French, but it's not Creole. You've been in NOLA since 1901, but you experienced Katrina. You're either really old or immortal. Just a week, but I have plans that would take me back if we need a new base of operations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 03:59 am UTC (link)
	Pourquoi ne peut-il pas être les deux? As for speaking French, but not Creole, I came to New Orleans direct from Paris. I am sure that she would welcome you with open arms again if that were to happen. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noplanm 2024-07-14 04:27 am UTC (link)
	It can be both, but I meant more along the lines of you being an actual centenarian and not one who has appeared the same age for decades. The French but not Creole suggested you're not originally from Louisiana. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 04:31 am UTC (link)
	Have you come across many immortals in your line of work, monsieur? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noplanm 2024-07-14 04:32 am UTC (link)
	Only in video games and books, but there are people here with magical powers, superpowers, ghosts, ex-ghosts, and cat kings. It's not beyond the realm of possibility. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 04:34 am UTC (link)
	A cat who thinks it is a king? Fascinating. Will wonders never cease? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noplanm 2024-07-14 04:36 am UTC (link)
	He's definitely person-shaped, but he introduced himself as the Cat King. Lots of interesting people here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 04:39 am UTC (link)
	Incredible. I will hopefully be more of a mind to meet others here after I have eaten. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noplanm 2024-07-14 04:42 am UTC (link)
	Don't let me keep you. Hanger is no fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 04:47 am UTC (link)
	Least of all with my kind. It has been a pleasure. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	noplanm 2024-07-14 04:50 am UTC (link)
	Bonne nuit. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Est-ce que parler français est plus confortable pour vous? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 01:38 am UTC (link)
	Le français est ma langue maternelle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackandblue 2024-07-14 01:49 am UTC (link)
	Ce n'est pas ma langue maternelle mais mon père adoptif s'est assuré que je la parlais couramment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 02:01 am UTC (link)
	Vous semblez très bien le parler.</a> (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackandblue 2024-07-14 02:12 am UTC (link)
	Je ne peux pas dire que ma prononciation ne fera pas saigner vos oreilles. Les Américains sont connus pour leur mauvaise prononciation. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 02:22 am UTC (link)
	Peut-être, mais je peux vous assurer que ce ne sera pas le pire que j’ai entendu au cours de mes années sur cette Terre. Votre père était-il français? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackandblue 2024-07-14 02:27 am UTC (link)
	Non, mais il était très riche et le français est une deuxième langue acceptable dans les cercles sociaux qu’il fréquentait. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 02:29 am UTC (link)
	Cela ne me surprend pas. Je suis désolé que ton père ait été si strict. Je connais bien cette vie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackandblue 2024-07-14 02:48 am UTC (link)
	Tout n'était pas mauvais. Il m'a beaucoup appris. Il s’attendait aussi à beaucoup de choses. Et c'est lui qui m'a accueilli quand j'étais orphelin. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 03:29 am UTC (link)
	Il faut un certain type de personne pour amener un enfant dans sa vie de cette manière. Quel est ton nom? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackandblue 2024-07-14 03:44 am UTC (link)
	Je m'appelle Richard Grayson. But I go by Dick. Yes, I have heard all the jokes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Then I will refrain from making any, though I must confess that [...] Dick does not quite roll off the tongue as nicely as Richard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	blackandblue 2024-07-14 03:48 am UTC (link)
	I thought that might be the case. You can call me Richard or Grayson if you prefer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 03:56 am UTC (link)
	Merci, that is greatly appreciated, Richard. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Not everyone here is mortal (Reply to this) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-14 08:35 pm UTC (link)
	My apologies. I was unaware of that fact at the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stillworthy 2024-07-17 01:33 pm UTC (link)
	It's all good, man. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Welcome to our city, Lestat. Though you might find the things that happen here on occasion may feel much stranger than the circumstances of your arrival. My name is Vlad Tepes. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-18 02:57 pm UTC (link)
	I have been told of some of the strange occurrences that have happened here in somewhat recent months. Vlad? That is a very old name, is it not? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	menfearmonsters 2024-07-23 07:58 am UTC (link)
	Very old, yes. Like nearly 500 years old. Most reactions from people are usually like, that I must be named after the Vlad Tepes or Vlad Dracul of the 1470s. But it actually really is me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirelestat 2024-07-24 01:30 am UTC (link)
	I must confess, I did wonder, but I dared not hope. Your legend precedes you; I have not met a vampire from the old country before. (Reply to this) (Parent)
