[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!

	But someone did? [Oh my gosh he is like...on the edge of his seat rn.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Last I knew Silas had it -- Silas being an ancient creature even older than I am. It's a long story. [And the details don't really make any of it make more sense.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No wonder you didn't tell us anything. I don't even know where to begin asking what the heck you're talking about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Believe me, I've lived through it and only half of it makes sense. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I still can't believe there's a cure... [He wonders how many of them had been after it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I had first head about in the eleventh century, but I never thought it would resurface. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sanguino 2013-09-28 11:17 pm UTC (link)
	And we all wanted it for different reasons, I'm guessing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-09-29 04:41 am UTC (link)
	Several of you had the same reason. [There's a beat, and then, since she knows Matt filled them in on the sire bond issue.] Elena. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Elena. [Because of course that's their reason. She should never have become a vampire, and she was perhaps the only person that might make a worse one than he did, because of her emotional connections to people. He didn't know if she could survive it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-09-30 04:25 am UTC (link)
	Several of you wanted it for her -- it seemed whether she wanted it or not. [Rebekah hadn't felt bad being selfish about it, Elena didn't want it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sanguino 2013-10-01 02:59 pm UTC (link)
	You can't tell me she wanted to be a vampire. [He does not for a second believe that.] She's told me specifically that she doesn't. Over and over again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-10-01 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	She didn't think she deserved it over anyone else though. Besides, is being human, being my brother's living blood bag really better for her? [There's more to this, the whole part of Elena losing her humanity but that ties back to Jeremy dying -- and she promised Matt she wouldn't give away that secret.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sanguino 2013-10-03 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	Maybe she didn't, but deserves it more than we do. [That includes you, Rebekah. Sorry gurl.] We've stopped your brother before. We could do it again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-10-04 02:33 am UTC (link)
	She clearly didn't think that. [Rebekah doesn't fight that part.] I doubt the dessication trick would work twice, he knows to expect it now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sanguino 2013-10-05 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	The same things can always work twice if you go about them a different way. [He shrugs his shoulders.] So long as we're here, none of that matters anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	easily 2013-10-06 05:42 am UTC (link)
	No, I suppose it doesn't. (Reply to this) (Parent)
