Please tell me they have something synthetic on tap at that vampire bar everyone keeps raving about.

[ he leave a few holes in this filter, a teeny tiny backdoor in through it the right people are looking at it who have the know and the how to find it should be able to locate, nevermind find their way past. it's done deliberately, out of curiosity and personal need-to-know for possible future reference. never hurts to know who's sitting up there with you in the technological savvy. ]

If you've made it this far, then you're someone I'm interested in knowing. I'm Nikola Tesla, and you are...?

[ there was irony to be found in a vampire needing to provide another vampire with an invite, but the metaphysical laws of worlds were funny like that. he probably registered as something alive and human to whatever supernatural force governed rose's world and the vampires that dwelled within it, and thus had sufficient ownership of a property to keep vampires of her particular type out if he so wanted. it would be mockable if the information weren't useful wrt the substantial vampire population everyone kept telling him this place had. ]

Then by all means, do come in. [ he held the door open for her. ]

Thanks. [she said as she entered the apartment and moved to the middle of the room, waiting for him to tell her where to sit. rose glanced around the room she was in to take a good look around, hoping it would help her to learn more about him. her own apartment was sparsely furnished and decorated but it reflected her personality-or at least Rose tried to do that anyway.]

It's nice to finally meet you in person.

You're taller than I expected. [ mostly because at 6'2", nikola's quite used to towering over most people by quite a bit, even by today's standards. ] I'd offer you a glass of something, but I'm afraid I haven't trusted myself to leave in search of goods for fear I might find someone a little too tantalizing.

[ as for the apartment, it's rather plain at the moment, though neat and tidy. he's a very organized person who enjoys cleanliness, though he's not quite the obsessive germaphobe he was back in the early 20th century. shame history books seem to remember that about him. that and the pigeons. ]

It's impossible to tell via the small video screen. [ she grins a little, now taking a proper look at him because she has the chance to. ] Don't worry. I brought a bottle of the blood for myself anyway. I'm sure your hosting skills will be fine without the alcohol.

[ Rose sets the bottles she brought down on the nearest table before turning back to him, offering another smile.]

So. You've been holed up here for quite a while then, huh? Doesn't sound like fun.

There are those who would beg to differ. [ especially in recent years. nikola wasn't the best of hosts, but it wasn't like he had a permanent residence to play host in, or anyone to invite over for brunch for that matter, given he was supposed to be dead and flying under the radar. wrangling helen's sanctuary for her while they skipped merrily through the depths of hollow earth didn't count. ]

Not terribly so, but I'd rather spend a four hours wallowing in boredom than take a bite out of someone. Sinking your teeth into possible people from other worlds isn't high on my list of things to experience before I die.

[ there's be wine glasses to pull out and fill with blood had he begun making this space his own, but since he's lacking, he simply reaches for the bottle, pulls off the top, and takes a few long gulps. much better. he can already feel the tension uncoiling, melting away. ]

If you did bite someone you'd get punished so it wouldn't even be worth it.

[ she recalls the time back when she was rabid and blood thirsty-symptoms of a werewolf bite- and how she killed three people before she was stopped. Even here, when her emotions and urges were brought to the surface through a change in the atmosphere, she came really close to hurting someone. ]

Feel better? [rose asks him as she unscrews the cap from her own bottle and takes a much needed swig before bringing it down again. she knows that she always felt relieved after she drank some blood.]

[ he's really tired of being forced to deal with the consequences of his actions, so there will definitely be no biting, nevermind the fact that doing so goes against his strict set of morals that are very much present beneath all those layers of sass, snark, and bullshit. ]

Much. I'd forgotten what that was like. [ having hunger like that, craving blood in general. he'd spent the past seventeen months as a devamped mortal, and only recently became a vampire again. ]

Being hungry? [ she understood how bad it could get but rose had plenty of blood here, leaving her with no desire to drink from anyone. there were other vampires here and they seemed to have the same control but every one of them was different to her kind. ]

The feeling is still there within me but it's not as strong because I get the blood I need. A starving vampire can be a very dangerous thing.

	Being a vampire in general. It's been a while. [ he rolls his shoulders, flexes his hands. don't get him wrong, he loves being himself again, it's just going to take more than a couple weeks of adjustment to get fully used to everything again. ] Hopefully the rest keep themselves nice and full.

	As far as I am aware there have been no attacks on people from vampires. [ she pauses to take another sip from her bottle, relishing the taste. it satisfied her enough. ] I don't think there is many of our kind here in the first place. We're definitely outnumbered.

	It used to, but I got over it. [ afina and her nazi view of the world? no thank you. even he hadn't been aiming for such a thing when he'd been tampering with those trust fund idiots' DNA. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Now you're not alone. [she smiles faintly, moving to sit down on the nearest chair.] Okay, so there are differences between our kind but we're still vampires. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

But you are—and don't take this the wrong way, because I'm speaking from a point of teratological curiosity here; once a nerd, always a nerd—you're dead. Whereas I am very much alive. Having those dormant genes awakened and then reawakened may've not been the most comfortable experience of my life, but it certainly didn't kill me. Yet you, I'm assuming, had to die before your vampirism took effect. Correct?

	justexisting 2013-05-13 03:55 pm UTC (link)
	You are correct, Nikola. I had to die before I became a vampire. One has to die with vampire blood in their system before they awake again in a stage known as 'transition.' If they don't drink human blood within a day, then they'll die. Drink human blood, and they become a full vampire. That is how it works in my world. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds highly unpleasant. [ he finishes off what's left of the blood she provided him with, setting the empty bottle aside. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	justexisting 2013-05-13 07:12 pm UTC (link)
	Not something I would want to go through again. [ she drains the rest of her own bottle, placing it down on a table next to her. ] But for the most part, I've made my peace with it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
