My, my, this is quite the development. Get unlawfully incarcerated, get a free Skype account and a reject Xbox headset. Microsoft ditched this design for a reason, but it's good to know that access to social media isn't limited to the footloose and fancy free. They can cross being biased against the criminally charged off their would be lawsuits -- if any of these charges happened to be valid, that is. You seem to be lacking a proper judicial system. Get one. The Big Brother look isn't good a look on anyone, and I have zero interest in playing along with your little game of transdimensional authoritarian checkers, Stalin and Mussolini. [ that'd be you, conscienti and veridical. ]

As for the pocket placement itself, sans your little list o' crimes... [ a shrug of indifference. ] As a good friend of mine once said, "Go to heaven for the climate, hell for the company."

[ not like he's got anything better to do -- at least, not at the moment. give it time, he'll grow bored and restless, and start rattling the bars on his underwater cage soon enough. neither will stop him from being difficult, though. ]

Anyone know if this thing happens to do Guitar Hero?

	The one and only. [ he says "jedan i jedini" in his native serbian, but the translator filters push it out in heavily accented english. ] Huh. A built in translator. That's handy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Indeed it is. [Very convenient.] But I'd rather hear it in the original language I think. Not everyday I get to converse with a prominent figure in history. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you realize how rare it is for me to come across anyone outside of the motherland who speaks Serbian? Rusty Serbian is better than no Serbian at all. And I'm willing to bet you're not as bad as you think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; justexisting 2013-04-21 10:53 pm UTC (link)
	No seriously, it really is bad. I wouldn't even want to attempt to speak it. [ Being around for five hundred plus years had taught her a few things but it didn't mean she remembered them all.] And I'm guessing that it's quite rare. You probably won't find anyone else here who is fluent in it but I don't know for certain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I could always speak to you in another tongue of your choosing. English isn't even among the first three languages I learned. [ polyglots. such showoffs. (not that he isn't a showoff without showcasing his linguistic repertoire.) ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As tempting as that is, I think I'll stick with English. Although, I am curious as to what languages you can speak if you'd like to share. [ showoff or not, he does have a certain charm about him that rose couldn't ignore. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Let's see... There's Serbian, Croatian, German, Hungarian, English, Czech, French, Italian, Latin, a few of the Hindi tongues, and Ancient Sumerian. I've dabbled in a few others and can converse decently in them if needed be, but those are the ones I speak the most fluently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Is that all? [Rose asks, her tone a little teasing.] I was half expecting you to list them in alphabetical order but still, that is impressive. I'm wondering if you could clarify something for me though. How do you know of Skype and Xbox, as well as Guitar Hero if you haven't been around to see them being invented? Unless you discovered how to time travel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, they're in order -- just in the order I learned them.

Why does everyone assume I learned how to time travel? [ because you're utterly brilliant, that's why. ] While I don't doubt I'd be able to figure it out, time isn't something I'd ever tamper with. There are too many variables, not to mention risk of damaging the timeline. Always time travel, never the actual answer to their questions. [ he shakes his head, sighs. ] Let's just say that I'm a lot older than I look.

	Well, I was going to ask whether or not you were immortal but time travel came to my mind first because of your background and discoveries. [but this new information was interesting.] Would you believe me if I told you that I am a lot older than I look too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Immortal would be correct. [ but he's been telling everyone else that he simply stumbled upon the secrets to longevity while conducting blood experiments -- which isn't a lie, it's just a bit more complicated than that, and that particular story is more helen's and not his. ] Actually, yes. Such things aren't as farfetched as they may seem. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm five hundred and sixty years old, give or take a few days. I was sired in the latter half of the fifteenth century and witnessed a great many changes throughout history. [she's glad that he encrypted this conversation because rose didn't want everyone to know what she was, unless it was through choice.] Only a handful of people know this about me.

	Sired. As in... bitten, not born? [ forgive the incredulousness. his type of vampire is the opposite: born, not bitten. humans being turned into vampires is the thing of myth, legend, and hollywood -- as well as failed experimentation on his own part when he tried to revive the race. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Interesting. Where I'm from that's all Hollywood nonsense, rumors spread by the ancients to detour hunters and rebels.

[ as for himself... ] I was "vamped," so to speak, in 1886. I was at Oxford and I took part in a blood experiment. Needless to say, I managed to unintentionally awaken dormant sanguine vampiris genes that I inherited from vampiric ancestors I didn't know I had.

I'm 155 years old. You've got me beat.

I do have you beat. [She smirks a little.] When it comes to vampires in my world, the older you are, the faster and stronger you are.

Vampire ancestors-who would have thought. The differences between us are something else. I'd like to know more if you're willing to share. I'd tell you about me and my kind in return.

For my own curiosity of course. I wouldn't tell anyone else.

I wouldn't know. [ except afina had been a couple thousand years older than him and she had been absurdly strong once she'd fed. but she was also a full blood vampire and he was merely a halfling, a hybridize something or other of human, abnormal, and vampire DNA. quite the melting pot, he was. ]

My dear, I would be very interested in learning more about my vampire cousins, so to speak. [ grin -- an honest one, too. had this been presented to him differently, he would've been outright mocking it from the get go, given how ludicrous it sounds in comparison to his own type of vampire. ever the scientist, however, he is curious. very curious. (and likely to mock later, though probably at other targets.) ]

Thank you. I had my death faked for a reason, my vampirism being one of them. Wouldn't call it a weakness so much as... well, how do you explain to the US Government that the reason you're not aging is because your a vampire? [ the parts of it that hadn't known anyway; like eisenhower, but you know how "military secrets" go. ]

[her bloodline could be traced back to the Original vampires and they were a thousand years old, strongest of them all. they were also complete gits but Rose was refraining from telling him that at the moment but since some of them were here, maybe he should know.]

Then I shall gladly tell you about them, Nikola. In person might be best, even though this conversation is private, something like this is better face to face. [rose suggests with a smile because it could prove to be fun as well as a once in a (many) life-time opportunity. sharing knowledge may be useful.]

Which is why I stayed under the radar for the majority of my life. People ask questions when one doesn't age beyond their mid-twenties. Apart from that, I couldn't go out in the daylight. Being burnt to a crisp is not a look I go for.
