	The hell is a Fangtasia? Is that like vampire Disneyland? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 12:56 am UTC (link)
	Close. It's a vampire nightclub. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodmuffin 2009-07-21 01:02 am UTC (link)
	It is? For real vampires, not stupid people who glue pointy plastic on their teeth and drink Bloody Marys and talk about how "dark" they are? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I seem to have been relocated to New York City. I just woke up in a club here, which apparently is also mine. It is called 13. I have yet to go outside, since it's still vaguely light out, so I can't tell you how to get here. Look it up. Google it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodmuffin 2009-07-21 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Ohhhh yeah, alternate universe. You're new like me. Apparently everything we know and love from our former lives has been torn away from us. It totally blows. Awww, you can't go outside? I can! I found it! It's on Google maps, I can portkey there easy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 01:20 am UTC (link)
	Not everything. Is that so? How nice for you. Excellent. I'll be on the second floor, sneering at the bad decor. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	bloodmuffin 2009-07-21 01:23 am UTC (link)
	Not really, if I don't wear a hat I get really gross zits. ...Wow, ew, overshare. Sweet! I'll be there in ummm half an hour-ish. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least you don't burn and die. I'll put a 'Cheeky Heather' on the guest list. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Fangtasia? Really. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Really. I didn't come up with the name, it was far too hokey for my tastes. But hokey works in the south. It seems I've been relocated, somehow. Though I'm not sure how. I'm in New York City, and I own a club here. 13. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-07-21 01:11 am UTC (link)
	Ahh. Tornado express. Look at this: [website] it's both fun and informative. NYC's a decent place to be, if you've got to be somewhere. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 01:12 am UTC (link)
	Yes, I just now found that page on my own. It seems that I'm not the only person to drop in from my reality. I am Erik. And what is your name? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-07-21 01:18 am UTC (link)
	Oh good. Nothing less fun then explaining that sort of shit. You'd think people never saw the Wizard of Oz. I'm Oizys. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 01:23 am UTC (link)
	The spirit and personification of misery and anguish, of Greco-Roman mythos. Daughter of Night. How interesting. And I adored the books. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-07-21 01:36 am UTC (link)
	And Woe. Don't forget the woe. It's my favourite part. But I'm impressed - no one ever knows the underworlders. Can't say I read the books - not the biggest fan of happy endings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 01:40 am UTC (link)
	Oh, of course, forgive me. I've had plenty of time to learn all about the Romans and Greek hierarchy. I knew someone who was old enough to have known all about them almost first hand. Then find a part that's depressing... and stop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-07-21 01:56 am UTC (link)
	Well if you ever want a first hand account, let me know. Or let one of the others know. Some of them love to talk. I do that occasionally, but then I can't stop and I read the damn happy ending anyway, and it's always the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 02:01 am UTC (link)
	I prefer the strong, silent types. Though you're always welcome to join me at any time, so long as your very presence doesn't make me lose control of my joie de vivre. The hero wins, and gets the girl and they ride off into the sunset. It does get rather boring after a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-07-21 02:12 am UTC (link)
	There's enough misery in world that I'm quite capable of spending time with a person without crushing their will to live. Sometimes, at least. Exactly. Cookie cutter stories. Literature was more fun when it was ok for the witch to eat the kids in the end. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 02:22 am UTC (link)
	So either you do your job well, or humans did it perfectly well enough on their own after a while. Or when literature wasn't, and it was okay for the giant to smash all the soldiers' heads in. Such a shame that went the way of the great Gods of my living days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-07-21 02:32 am UTC (link)
	Particularly here. Enough crazy shit goes on around here that I'm on permanent vacation. So which gods were those? The only one I know here really in favor of the head bashing thing is Ares. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 02:34 am UTC (link)
	From what I've read, it does seem more exciting. I am from the North. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-07-21 02:40 am UTC (link)
	If you think weird powers and zombies and robot attacks and everything turning bright blue for a week exciting, then sure it is. Ahh. Yeah, I don't know why I ask. I'm not social with them. But at least you seem to speak English, which is a plus. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 02:45 am UTC (link)
	Oh, there's all that sort of thing back home, but not to the superhero level that you seem to have here. That's all right, they don't seem very social, themselves. Especially to southlanders. And yes, I learned English many years ago. It's far easier to communicate than in old Norse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	misery_inc 2009-07-21 03:26 am UTC (link)
	You people come from strange worlds. That's all I'm saying. And yeah, I imagine it is - Old Norse is about as useful as Ancient Greek. But there's more than a few who haven't seemed to bother. Anyhow. You have fun with your Fangtasia 2: Electric Boogaloo. I'll have to come claim that drink. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 03:30 am UTC (link)
	You're more than welcome to come by at any time between dusk and dawn, Miss Oizys. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	grayimmortality 2009-07-21 02:07 am UTC (link)
	Fangtasia? Really. Oy. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 02:15 am UTC (link)
	It was either that or Fangoria. It still has the best selection of live donors and TruBlood in every type in all of Louisiana. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	grayimmortality 2009-07-27 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	What is TruBlood? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-28 12:38 am UTC (link)
	It is a blood substitute. Completely synthetic. It doesn't exist here. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	volos 2009-07-21 02:49 am UTC (link)
	I second this. Welcome, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 02:50 am UTC (link)
	Thank you, whether or not you approve. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	volos 2009-07-21 03:03 am UTC (link)
	You are welcome, and I would guess my approval means about as much to you, as it does to this place, no? Regardless, you have it. I am called Malakai Chmelyk. Something of a welcome wagon, lately. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 03:08 am UTC (link)
	Malakai, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Erik Northman. For once, I'm finding myself quite at home in New York City. Though I've found that there's no synthetic blood here. How is it that vampires are in the open when there's no reason to not still be underground? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And you, Erik. For the synthetic blood, I make a good imitation of the version from my world out of my home, for those that bother with it- there aren't many, at least not on these boards. As for the second, I could not tell you, other than to say that compared to some of the things that I have seen since finding myself here? Vampires are almost normal. It would shock the humans more, I think, if we bothered to hide.

Would you mind terribly if I were to taste test this synthetic blood that you've made? TruBlood was a fair comparison, it didn't taste awful, per se, but it didn't taste quite right. It was like drinking a candy man's blood, far too sweet. And since I'm not sure what the rules are for our kind, I'm not going to feed until I know I'm cleared to do that. What is the hierarchy in this world? Who are the sheriffs?

I would not mind at all. A friend of mine, who has since been taken from this place, left me his notes. Formulas. I have been getting closer, at least I believe so. Do you favor a type?

As for hierarchy, there is none, to speak of; the usual groups of hunters, dissenters, the occasional superhero. But so long as you take no more than your share, no one seems to care.

	AB, though I'll try all that you've gotten finished. Interesting. I'm guessing we police our own, then. Right, come to the club when you've got a moment to spare, the address is above. I would very much appreciate to meet with you as soon as possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	volos 2009-07-21 03:32 am UTC (link)
	I will bottle a batch, and be there before morning, then. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	erikbloodred 2009-07-21 03:33 am UTC (link)
	I'll be here. (Reply to this) (Parent)
