[Day 369] Defense Force Mingle
[Video | Closed to Defense Force]
This afternoon we're going to do a thing. Be at the headquarters. If you know someone who isn't a member, but they're interested in joining you can bring them too. [She knows it may not be the best day after hearing this morning's announcement, but since the wardens played with them yesterday she knows the day should be clear of their interference and they have some new recruits so they should probably all meet each other.]

[Action | MINGLE!]
[The thing in question is on the roof of the headquarters. Kitty brought food and drinks which thankfully she did not prepare. It's all snack-sized finger foods. She wants everyone to have a chance to know their teammates better. She isn't going to force any group activities but there are some tables and chairs for people who want to relax more or maybe play a game. She did leave a few decks of cards out.]

	[She doesn't think he just means from the dome or anything. She knows better.] I'm so sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's ... [Not fine. She died, and he let that go, but then she sought rebirth without even saying good-bye. He shrugs half-heartedly.] Whatever. Your daughter is living with us, then? [Did you notice that clever transition?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[But it can't be as simple as that. Only that, it's difficult to talk about, isn't it? The loss of a sibling is enough to break a heart. So powerfully gut wrenching.] I-- huh? [Tears...? When is it that they began to fall?] (Reply to this) (Parent)

[Lifting her hands up she rubs at her eyes. She promised herself she would stop crying for Ai's sake. And here she is again. Head dipped low she swallows thickly and attempts to clear her throat.]

Sorry. I'm-- [She takes a deep breath.] Sorry. T-That's right. Ai. [Focus on Ai.] Yuuri-kun, h-he said she can have her own room. But she's been sleeping with me. [It seems belated to ask if it's fine now.]

	[Shit. Why is she crying? He doesn't know what to do. Um. This is why you don't talk about things like this.] (Reply to this) (Parent)

	No, it's fine. Um. It's Yuuri's apartment, so whatever he says really... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-03-30 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	[Wiping at her eyes, she tries to brush away any evidence of tears. She swallows thickly and shakes her head.] It's your apartment too. You're important to Yuuri. I really want to get along with and get to know you. [Anyone who is important to him is important to her, too.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-03-30 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	[If he had a tissue he'd hand it over. But he doesn't, so he just sits there.] Oh, um. There isn't much to know. But ... You're a friend of his too. Yuuri would be sad if we didn't at least get along. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-03-30 09:49 pm UTC (link)
	That's okay. [Focusing on him is the best thing right now.] Why don't you tell me more about yourself? Like... what's your favorite color? What kind of parfait do you like, and how old are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-03-30 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	[Focusing on him is never the best thing. It makes him nervous.] Black? [Which is obvious because it's the only color he wears.] I don't ... I've never had a parfait... And I'm fourteen. [Is this ... Does he ask her something now. Damn it, he's bad at this!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-03-30 10:05 pm UTC (link)
	[ . . . Never had a parfait. ] You... wouldn't get offended if I got you a parfait, would you...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-03-30 10:09 pm UTC (link)
	No...? It's a kind of dessert, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Just checking... [She tried to offer a parfait to someone else recently, and it offended him and somehow spiraled out of control. She looks somewhat relieved.]

Mm. It's just a dessert. It's sweet and and can come in a number of different flavors. There's a cafe that I used to go to a lot back home when I used to live with my adoptive father. They had the best ones. They were really large.

	[He nods. Okay. But...] Aren't you a vampire? [There's nothing behind that but genuine curiosity. The only vampire he knows well is Spike, so...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Blink blink blink]

Oh- [ Hah- that came out bluntly. Lifting a hand up she scratches at her cheek.] Come on now... of course I have to eat, too. [For some reason she feels a little weird having to explain it though.] I get hungry for regular food and have the same kinds of cravings as everyone else.

[It's difficult to describe to someone who's never experienced what it feels like to desperately desire blood. Tilting her head, she tries to think of how to best explain it.] I guess... it's like water. You wouldn't just eat food but not drink anything, right? Or if you like savory things, it doesn't mean that you can't also enjoy sweet things, too. For me it's like that.

	[He ducks his head, gaze moving to the side somewhere, anywhere.] Sorry. I didn't mean to assume. I don't know many vampires. Or ... I know one. Um, aside from you. [He sighs, running and hand up the back of his head.] Sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I'm not mad or anything. [A tentative smile. It's her only real attempt at one so far. Honestly, she thinks it's kind of cute.] It's fine, really. If you have questions I'd prefer that you just ask. It'll save things from being awkward later.

[She lifts a finger up to her lips in thought.]

Um... the stereotypes, lets see. [Maybe it'll help?] I'm not dead and never have been. Garlic tastes good in many dishes. I don't follow any western religions, but crosses and religious relics don't harm me or anything. I'm not some kind of evil spirit. [Or devil. Whatever it would be called.]

What else...? Oh- [She points up above her] Bright lights hurt my eyes a lot because I'm naturally nocturnal. But I wont turn to ashes or something for being out in the sun. [She just makes sure to bring an umbrella with her when out in the day light.]

	nico_di_angelo 2016-03-31 12:03 am UTC (link)
	Right. Okay. [Still, he can't really look at her.] I can tell you're not dead. [If she were dead, he would know. Death clings to him so heavily, he smells of it. He can sense it the absence of life in others.] So, you're mostly a normal person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-03-31 12:09 am UTC (link)
	Can you? [Really then, the question is what is he? The scent of his blood is definitely different from that of an ordinary individual. She's not the type to push... at least in this sense. And he seems like the shy sort. A little sheepishly:] I wish that everyone thought of me that way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[A nod. He can.] I can sense death. And... a lot of other things that have to do with death. [He hunches down some. He doesn't talk about the death stuff much. People are more open to the shadow powers - the death stuff, not so much.]

No one is normal where I'm from. And ... There are a lot of different people here too. [He's always been the outcast where he's from. She doesn't seem that strange.]

	Like ghosts...? [By now, their game is really on hold. If anything, though, Marina is strange in that he's right. Everyone is really different here, and yet seems to get along.] What is your home like? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-03-31 04:46 pm UTC (link)
	Right. Like ghosts. Summoning. Controlling. Raise the dead to do my bidding. Stuff like that. [No big deal. His cards are abandoned in favor of twisting the skull ring on his finger.] It's just where I'm from. Not a home. It's ... there's a war. So right now, things are kind of a mess, I guess. [And he's barely been conscious through most of it.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-03-31 04:58 pm UTC (link)
	[No that seems like a very big deal. While she tends to think the pureblood have a number of abilities at their finger tips, she's definitely never heard of someone being able to do something like summoning or controlling the dead before.] That must be rough. [Eyes softening, her brows crease.] War is a very ugly thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	nico_di_angelo 2016-03-31 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah... well, it's what we do. [Because it's not even his first, and now that he knows he survives this one, he has to wonder if there's another on the horizon. There's always another conflict waiting. What else are pawns good for?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	trappedinresin 2016-04-01 02:01 am UTC (link)
	We as in humanity? [Even if it's prevalent there... she hopes things can calm down.] I'm sorry that's something you're going through. Someone so young should be able to laugh and do what they want freely. Not worry about scary or sad things. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
