[237] Struggling with my humanity or lack thereof therapy
[ Considering the nature of the group, it's unsurprising that it is being held in The Blood Shack. There is a sign on the door announcing that the bar is closed for therapy adding that if you're here for the 'Struggling with my humanity of the lack thereof' therapy session, please come in and make yourself at home. Someone (not Eric) has made over the bar so that it looks a great deal like an AA room rather than a bar. The tables are arranged into a square shape (yes, the way you used to sit in school). The bar is open, but the alcoholic beverages have been locked up. The blood taps are available and there's a selection of bottled blood sitting on top of the bar. It is clearly self serve. There's also a selection of pastries on the bar for those that like a little nibble with their blood. Next to this is a large fishbowl filled with folded slips of paper. There's a small sign next to it that urges each participant to take a question from the fishbowl, help yourself to some refreshment and have a seat.

On their folded slips of paper, participants will find such questions:

Were you ever human? If so, when was that? What are you now?
How do you define 'humanity'?
What is your opinion of humans? Why? How did you develop this opinion?
Discuss the relationships you currently have with humans.
What is the most important factor in maintaining your humanity? Do you feel it's important to maintain?
Has there been a change in your humanity, for the better or worse? What prompted that?
Discuss some of the advantages and disadvantages of humanity.

Just in case anyone has any doubt that we're here for business and not pleasure, the jukebox has been locked down as well.]

ooc:as with other posts, don't feel limited by these questions. Feel free to add your own and assume these are just some of the questions in the fishbowl. Mingle, make new threads, interrupt threads and enjoy! Note that your character does not have to be non-human to be here! Humans struggle with their humanity sometimes too!

[The fact the meeting was being held in the Blood Shack would normally be enough to make Klara feel a sense of foreboding. Since she had arrived she'd managed to avoid making a strong presence for herself here. She hadn't wanted to be seen or notice and Eric helped out with that. But after the last meeting, she was feeling...calm. It was strange really. The idea that other people might see her usually made her hide until she thought the coast was clear.

For some reason she feels more...open today than she usually does and maybe that's why she doesn't shy away from walking up to the bar. She reads over the sign and reaches into the bowl to pull out a slip of paper. She reads it out loud while she walks over to one of the empty tables.]

What would you do if you had your humanity taken away from you? Has this already happened?

[Do vampires even have humanity?]

[ Eric sees Klara walk in, but he's busy sulking at one of the corners of the square, blood in hand. He arches an eyebrow at her question. ]

To properly answer that question, it would seem we're going to define humanity. For the moment, we'll stick with the soft, squishy bits and if they took my humanity from me, the mood I'm in, I suspect I'd slaughter the lot of you.

Wouldn't that be pleasant?

[ He's a very cranky vampire right now. He hasn't had enough drugs to make him happy and complacent, but he rarely needs drugs to make him honest. ]

	It depends on who you ask. Some would say I have. [Rebekah likes to think she hasn't lost all of it yet though.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
