	What about your life from before? Didn't you have to give that up? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-28 12:39 am UTC (link)
	[ Shrug. ] Small price to pay. [ And that's all she's getting. Nothing about William the Bloody Awful or his dear old mum or Cecily. ] What good is your immortal soul for, anyway? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-05-28 12:46 am UTC (link)
	It seems like you give up a lot to gain a lot. [No more sunshine seems to hit hardest.] Did you have a choice? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-28 12:32 pm UTC (link)
	She didn't say please and thank you, if that's what you're wondering. [ So no, he didn't have a choice in the matter. ] No regrets here though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-05-28 09:22 pm UTC (link)
	[She nods.] Who was 'she'? Dru? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-28 10:31 pm UTC (link)
	That's the one. Sweet old Dru... picked me up out of mediocrity, she did. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-05-28 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	[She regards him for a moment, perhaps sizing him up. But then she smiles slightly.] So you're admitting to possibly, once, having been mediocre? Weren't always a bad boy? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-30 12:34 pm UTC (link)
	[ He gives her a brief look that may just possibly confirm that no, he wasn't always a bad boy. Far from it, in fact. He shakes it off soon enough though, covering it up with a healthy dose of cocky attitude. ] C'mon, compared to this all humans are mediocre. Shouldn't you know, what with your special skills and all? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-05-30 07:39 pm UTC (link)
	It's kind of funny. I always wanted to be... [like them] 'mediocre'. But I guess... I just wanted to look like them. I don't think I'd want to give up my abilities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-30 07:58 pm UTC (link)
	That's what it comes down to, doesn't it? Special will always win. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-05-30 08:10 pm UTC (link)
	[You are doing a fantastic job as a stand in Erik. While she considers what Spike says, she softly speaks without any real direction.] Charles always... thought about equality. Fitting in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-30 09:06 pm UTC (link)
	Equality. [ Like a curse word. ] Did you know we have vampires around here from a world of vampire rights? Predators actually tryin' to co-exist with their prey. It's pathetic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-05-30 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	But isn't that supposed to be better? Everyone's treated the same. [Of course... Raven briefly looks away, thinking.] We should be treated the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-31 07:00 pm UTC (link)
	But we're not the same and all the good intentions in the world isn't enough to make it that way. If the choice is between stayin' in the coffin or playing nice and drinking synthetic blood with the neighbors over a BBQ, I will always pick the coffin. Anything else would just be lyin' to yourself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-05-31 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	But if we stay in our coffins, they'll just... continue to treat us they way they always have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-31 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	And your solution to that is to roll over and do what they tell you to? Fit in? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-05-31 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	It's better than being treated like dirt. [She says softly.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-31 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	[ He takes a step closer, hand lifted to brush up along her arm and when he speaks his voice is deeply steeped in predatorial. ] Or... you could show them... who's the boss. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-05-31 10:58 pm UTC (link)
	[She watches him, but after a beat shies away from his touch by shifting her arm. Despite what he says and how easily it could make sense, perhaps she just doesn't want to admit it's a valid route to take.] I wouldn't be any better than they are. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-05-31 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	[ He chuckles darkly, pulling his hand back to tuck it into the pocket of his jeans. ] And why should you be? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-05-31 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	[You know, it's hard to come up with an answer for that.] I think I... should go. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-06-01 01:44 pm UTC (link)
	Suit yourself. [ But of course he can't just leave it like that. ] Think about it though. Why should you be the one to bend to their will? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-06-01 11:29 pm UTC (link)
	[She tilts her head to listen, giving him a glance quite indicative of how impressionable she is to the influence he's being. There will be thought on the matter.] ... Thank you, Spike. [She thinks.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2013-06-02 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	[ God, does he ever love stirring shit up for the hell of it. Not that he doesn't believe what he's saying — he definitely does — but there's little reason to corrupt her. Not that it ever stopped him, of course. ] You're quite welcome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	andproud 2013-06-03 01:24 am UTC (link)
	... Bye. [She's just going to drift off and away now, head full of thoughts and her feet leading her somewhere else inside the museum while she mulls them over.] (Reply to this) (Parent)
