	[Such the charmer. She's definitely delighted to see some men still have the old manners.] It's never boring around here, now is it? I would call that a definite plus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[And he's delighted to see a woman who enjoys it, rather than getting flustered as so many of her modern counterparts do.]

And so many different kinds of people here I'd never come across before, back home.

[He quirks an eyebrow.] I mean, you're a vampire, right?

[He feels it's a reasonable assumption to make, this being a vampire bar and her having implied she was around in the 20s.]

	[It surprises her, how boldly he asks her. Most people don't pick up on it so quickly, if at all, and even they do -- well they aren't so straightforward. Which may be why she chooses not to lie.] You'd be correct. Are you? [After all, he had implied he had been around during the 20s as well. Unless he was some other sort of immortal -- entirely possible here.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[He grins, all teeth.] No, I have a different kind of longevity. The kind where I just don’t stay dead. No fangs or blood-drinking or anything. Also, I used to time travel a lot, and the 20s and 30s were one of my favourite periods. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-03-20 05:40 am UTC (link)
	Really? [She looks curious mostly.] That's a new one. I liked the 20s a lot, definitely one of my favorite periods I lived through. [She didn't experience the 30s -- but she's not going to go telling a stranger how her brother stuffed her in a coffin.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-20 01:55 pm UTC (link)
	Which? The time-travelling or the not staying dead? [Well. He knows of at least one other of each here, after all. He smiles again as they reminisce.] It was a great period, wasn't it? Everyone living life to the full, so full of hope after the War... no-one dreamed there'd be another one so soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-03-20 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	The time traveling. [She knows plenty of people who don't stay dead - - though most of them are vampires.] It was. Jazz, prohibition, people were so daring, it was a lot of fun. People never seem ready for another war though, no matter how soon or not it may be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There are other time-travellers here, actually. [He nods towards Rose.] She's one of them.

[He grins widely, because she sounds like his sort of girl.]

I loved jazz. Missed a lot of prohibition since I spent most of my time in Britain, but yeah... good times.

So are you from that time, or have you lived through to the 21st century? [Because she's dressed in modern clothes, though she could have updated her look since getting here, after all.]

	I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised, there are all sorts of people here. [Which keeps things interesting, to say the least.] I spent most of my time in Cbicago during the twenties. Prohibition was a lot of fun. [Has she lived through to the 21st century? Well yes and no but she'll give the easy answer.] Yes, I have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I never made it to Chicago, but I spent some time in New York in the late twenties. It was... an interesting time.

[Well, he did end up getting strung up and killed repeatedly by the man he loved.

He shakes his head with a small smile and moves on.]

I know it's rude to ask a lady's age, but can I ask when you're from originally? When you were... turned, is that the right word?

	It was definitely memorable. [The man she loved had his memory wiped of her and she got put in a coffin for ninety years. These things happen.] The 10th Century. And yes, that would be the most common used term. [Though it was a little more complicated for her since her family were the first vampires.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-22 11:51 am UTC (link)
	[He can sense the faint bite there beneath her words, but he doesn't know her well enough yet to pry.] 10th century, huh. That's... wow. A long time to live! [He's slightly awed and definitely fascinated, as he always is by someone with somethings special about them, be it age or power, or tentacles or whatever.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-03-22 12:39 pm UTC (link)
	[Age and power she has -- tentacles not so much.] It is. I've had the luck to live through quite a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-22 12:59 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. The things you must have seen...! I mean, I've lived through 140-odd years consecutively and just the changes I've seen there are incredible, but before that I just flitted in and out of different periods. Never really got the long picture, you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-03-22 10:27 pm UTC (link)
	[She nods a little.] I do. [She did miss ninety years, so she can't even claim she has the whole picture.] It's been interesting to see how the world evolves, to say the least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-24 12:30 pm UTC (link)
	I bet! [He grins.] And oh, you've got so much more to enjoy, in the future! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-03-24 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure I do. [She grins.] The world always finds ways to surprise me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-25 10:26 am UTC (link)
	[He raises his eyebrows, trying to figure out if there's extra meaning loaded into that statement.] You too, huh? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-03-25 11:06 am UTC (link)
	[There is some, though it's not something she'll expand on at the moment.] I think it's fairly common to be surprised when you've lived long enough, the world changes in ways she never would have guessed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-26 07:53 pm UTC (link)
	Well... yeah. It kinda helps if you come from the future to begin with, I guess! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-03-26 08:39 pm UTC (link)
	Do you? How far in the future? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-27 08:41 pm UTC (link)
	About 3,000 years. Of course, I've travelled to the end of the universe, so it's all relative! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-03-27 09:37 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose so. Still, that's impressive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2013-03-28 11:41 am UTC (link)
	[He grins, all teeth.] Good. I like being impressive! [He glances around as the current performer jumps down from the stage.] Hey, I think I'm up in a minute. I'd better go and get myself ready. It's been really fascinating talking to you, though, Rebekah! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-03-28 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	It has been. [She smiles.] Enjoy the rest of your evening. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
