Day 296 — VR MarinaNova — After the doors close
[Maybe you saw a glowing door open and avoided it or maybe you have no idea anything just happened, but you know something is up now because everything just went dark. Seriously dark. No ambient light of any kind. The kind of dark that makes you wonder if something's wrong with your eyes. Oh, and there's a siren going off from the speakers on the floating island. Don't worry, that will end in about thirty minutes, but you're not so lucky when it comes to the dark.

The kiosk was open earlier, but it's gone dead now and the maintenance bots are in the same condition. As a bonus some people are missing too! Welcome to Day 296.]

(OOC: This mingle is for those who did NOT go through the doors. EVENT INFORMATION)

	I'm trying to understand. [If he says he's a monster, than Nico will take his word for it. He doesn't quite slot into the monster category Nico is familiar with. Maybe straddles the line, monster with a side of human. He shakes his head.] It didn't say anything. I don't think it can, really. It just gave me impressions of who you are. Were.

	[ That's as good a description of it as you can get. Straddling the line between human and monster, occasionally leaning but never quite tipping into one or the other. ] Fair enough... [ He groans, rubbing his fingers against his forehead. ] So what aren't you understanding yet? [ Since Nico actually seems like he's listening. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You said this isn't a mercy. Was it meant to be? You said there were other things they could have done. Like what? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Like anything else. A stake would've been preferable and before you ask, I'm not looking to off myself. [ Had this conversation one time too many. ]

I've no doubt the bozos running the show here had only the best in mind, but... that's not how this works. Back home, only one other vampire got his soul back. He was cursed. It was meant as a punishment, bloody torture by design but no one 'round here seem to understand that.

Humans... they roll their eyes and say boo-hoo for you, you got a soul just like the rest of us. Too bad. Thing is, I'm still stuck with something they lack... sure would love to see how quick they'd change their tune if they got a taste of what I'm feeling every second of the day.

Oh. Well, I would have killed you. [Does that help? He's killed plenty enough monsters back home. He's honestly embarrassed that one little vampire had overpowered him. He's been training more since then.]

What do you expect? They're human. Humans are selfish. Before you had a soul, you were their problem. They gave you a soul, they fixed that, so now you're not their problem any more. The demon thing, that's your problem. They don't care anymore. [That's what people do. They forget about you, until they need you or you become a problem again.]

	[ That kind of does help. He gives Nico a look that, with the lack of light, may be too subtle to read but harbors a ton of respect. ] Shit... you're a lot smarter than you look. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-09 06:04 pm UTC (link)
	Um ... Thanks. [Eh. It's a compliment. He'll take it.] I learn from experience. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-12-09 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	At least someone round here does. [ He falls silent for a beat. Hm. ] I wasn't going to kill you, for the record. Just proving a point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-09 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	[He shrugs.] Okay. I mean, thanks for clearing that up. [It would suck to die, it would piss him off, but he wasn't overly concerned. He purses his lips.] That better not be a joke. [He makes fangs with his fingers. Point. Fangs.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-12-10 12:39 pm UTC (link)
	[ It takes him a moment and then... snerk. ] C'mon, what do you take me for? I can do better than that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-10 06:17 pm UTC (link)
	Can you? You have a sense of humor? [Color him surprised.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	'Course I do, I'm not Angel. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-10 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	An angel, or are we referring to someone specific? [And is Angel an angel? If so, that is sooooo dumb.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-12-10 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	Angel. My grandsire, technically. Big bloody poof... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-10 11:40 pm UTC (link)
	Technically. Is he a vampire too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-12-11 10:45 am UTC (link)
	He is. Used to be the biggest bad around... Angelus, they called him. The scourge of Europe. Taught me everything I needed to know, back in the day. He was my bloody Yoda. Until they cursed him with a soul. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-11 06:02 pm UTC (link)
	[Oh.] So he's the other one. Family dinners got awkward after that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-12-11 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	Wasn't any family left. He wasn't the same after that... he bloody well tried but not even a steady diet of rats and rapists could keep him with the rest of us. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-11 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	[Yum.] Too good for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-12-11 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	More like we were too bad for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-11 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	Are you still? Too bad? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Can this moment stop now? Please. ] ...I don't know what I'm supposed to be now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2014-12-11 11:27 pm UTC (link)
	[Meh.] I don't know either. I guess your grandpa isn't here to help you out with this one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chipswiththat 2014-12-12 12:21 pm UTC (link)
	[ Snerk.Grandpa. ] Doubt he would even if he was. We're not exactly friendly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
