Mingle: Event Kick-Off
[ It was mid-morning. The sky was clear and it was a (not so) very blustery day. It was cool but it was always cool. It was neither too warm nor too hot.

Lukewarm.

And that was just how Bak preferred it. Especially since he had in hand his very important, extra special concoction of wonderful forgetfulness on hand! Bak could stand teasing, but even this was getting ridiculous.

Hefting the bag a little higher so it fit snug into the crook between elbow and shoulder, he stepped off into wild world of Marinanova and promptly had to grab onto his hat.

Opps. He always forgot about that step down.

Taking another step, he nearly tripped again, this time on a rock. Frowning, Bak starred at the offending piece of debris and then he kicked it.

And yelped.

And then held his foot, dropping his bag in a near blinding rush of ”Eeeek!” as he dived for the paper bag, watching as with a POOF half of the contents disappeared into the wind, leaving him sneezing and dazed on the ground wondering what the heck had just happened. Clearly, his own formula had been getting the best of him. It happens when one sneaky scientist messes with the formula and Bak spent the better part of the morning putting the final touches of the mixture together.

Heightened emotions indeed.

Bak will rue this day assuming he survived it. ]

((ooc: Consider this post an open mingle and the start of the Marina Feelings Roulette Event! Creating your own posts is, as always, highly encouraged. And, unless you got an extra hefty dose of it right off the bat (re: by being in proximity to Bak when it happened) feelings should gradually start to go haywire later in the day with strongest feelings in the afternoon and tapering off again as evening descends. For more info on the details, please go here. Have fun!))

[Sam is in the library a lot of today, and no one was surprised. Today, he's preparing for his new class starting tomorrow. So, right now he has books on ghosts spread around him.]

(OOC: He's basically neutral until he runs into someone and reacts to their chemistry with the event. I'm open to any kind of reaction. Tag me, and I'll chose one or if you have a preference just let me know. I'm also fine with no strong emotional reaction if you want him to be normal while your character is affected.)

[The library is still a safe zone, isn't it? As far as she knows, a certain vampire hunter doesn't often visit this place. But then again, she's not really considering what other ones might be around. Yuuki herself has only come here today to sit in a quiet, undisturbed area, and try to continue writing out lyrics and her own thoughts.

She pauses though, when she notices Sam. Undecided thoughts churn. He's a lot like Zero, isn't he... occupation wise, anyway. Yet, despite initial mistrust, he's still kind. It looks like he's studying hard. She should't interrupt him, but for whatever reason, her feet draw her near.]

Morning.

[She blinks down at the books sprawled across the table.]

Are you always studying up on the supernatural?

[Although ghosts are a little creepy, if you ask Yuuki.]

[Missing one vampire hunter and gaining another. Of course Sam hardly considers himself a vampire hunter. As far as he knows they are a minor problem back home. His own thoughts lie with demons more than even the ghosts or other assorted monsters he hunts. Still, he's had his share of vampire problems at home and here. He did go after Zelman after he drank from Sasha after all.

And yet he knows Yuuki is a vampire, but he finds himself liking her. She made some compelling arguments she doesn't even seem to remember, but he does. He can't be sure it's real and not some kind of act, and he's been doing this too long to not have at least some residual doubt, but he wants to believe it. He wants to see the good in people when he can.

Today, when she shows up to interrupt his studies he feels a little more inclined to put them aside for her than he might on another occasion. Maybe it's that he's a little burnt out on reading or maybe it's something else.

He laughs a little at the question.]

It does seem like that, doesn't it? [There's a little head shake.] I'm putting some notes together for a class I'm going to be teaching soon.

	Ah... [Moving around, she lightly picks up one of his closed books, and glances over the title.] You're really hard at work. If it's a class on the supernatural, that might be kind of fun to attend. [Just to see what is said, and maybe the differences between their worlds. Whether or not he even focuses on vampires at all.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It is. Paranormal Studies. [He wasn't sure what to call it.] It's open to everyone if you want to check it out. [Even vampires are welcome which means he knows he has some extra work to do in making everything sound less...hunt-y.] The first class is going to be on ghosts. [Which felt like the safest topic for a lot of reasons.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She makes a face.] . . . Are there such things? [She's never come across one before. But- she prefers that, she thinks.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There aren't where you're from? Vampires but no ghosts? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	To be honest I still wonder about the average person's creepy view on vampires... [People saying they are undead and brought back to life. How disturbing.] If I saw a ghost, I am sure it would be terrifying! What if it haunted you? Or tried to possess someone? [UGH. Shudder. How would someone even begin to fight against something that is dead?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well...those things happen sometimes. What do you mean by creepy view on vampires? [Genuinely curious.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[CREEPY CREEPY. She prefers not meeting any ghosts, thank you very much. The question causes her to make a face, though.]

People who say that vampire are dead. Or are somehow connected to dark things, like the devil.

[Not even close]

While I understand the fear a vampire's diet might bring... understandably.

[When you consider their typical prey]

But it's not like we're all some creepy disease ridden, underground monsters that go around indiscriminately attacking people. We're born, have mothers and fathers, and have to learn to walk and talk and feel just the same as human children would.

	Well... For some of us, in our worlds, [being careful here] vampires are, well, dead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	. . . Are you sure they aren't just changed. Not dead... [Because dead...] If they were actually dead, doesn't that make them a zombie? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	tallerthanthou 2013-05-13 01:27 pm UTC (link)
	Well... No, zombies are different. ["Come on, you've seen the movies," is a bad argument, isn't it?] And I'm sure you're right. In some worlds—mine actually—vampires aren't dead. They're changed. ...But they're changed a lot. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Jean-Luc's natural curiosity is heightened as well today. He takes the seat across from Sam and folds his hands together over the top of the table.] Facing off against what, exactly? Specters? Ghosts? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
