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!))

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.]

. . . Are there such things? [She's never come across one before. But- she prefers that, she thinks.]

There aren't where you're from? Vampires but no ghosts?

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?]

Well...those things happen sometimes. What do you mean by creepy view on vampires? [Genuinely curious.]

[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.

. . . Are you sure they aren't just changed. Not dead...

[Because dead...]

If they were actually dead, doesn't that make them a zombie?

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.

As in often?

[She frowns lightly at that]

I'm sorry... people can be changed in my world, as well. But only by purebloods.

No, as in changed from human. The bloodlust takes over I guess.

It's actually not very common [in the season he's from]. There were hunters that...specialized. [Awkward.]

[She doesn't really seem to bat an eye at that. Instead she merely nods.]

I can see why they would be needed. Back home, there's an entire hunter's association. As long as bloodlust exists, there will always be problems.

...Yeah. Bloodlust...is a problem. [And from the way he has a hard time getting that out naturally, it might even seem like it troubles him to say it.]

Would blood bags not work within your world? Or tablets?

Tablets? [He shakes his head, remembering what he's seen before in the store back when they were in the other prison.] No, the blood bags would be fine. [For vampires... For him too if they were demon blood back when he had issues.]

Oh... The tablets, they-- [Lets see, how had Aidou described them to her before?] They are made from a composite of various types of cultured hematopoietic stem cells.

[Doesn't she just sound so smart]

They were created to help with the craving for blood.

They're easier to come by than blood donations or are they easier to process?

[info]trappedinresin

I'm not sure how it all works... the government doesn't acknowledge vampires publicly.

[So everything is done quietly]

They are probably easier to process? They don't...taste good. But they help. I think it's easier to carry around a container of tablets, than multiple blood bags.

So, people are living around them and they don't know about it? Sounds familiar.

The higher ups are afraid of the mass hysteria it might cause, if the general public knew.

Yeah, I've always kind of thought that might be how things worked out if everyone knew where I'm from too. At least that's why hunters keep it to themselves. It might also cause an increase in the killing.

[At that, she can only nod]

From both sides.

[A slow nod in return.] From both sides.

But, you know, most of the things we fight against at home aren't like you.

They're less...human. Less caring and more driven by the need to feed or kill.
