sleep like the dead

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

[someone's passed out on a couch. but wait- she's not breathing. in fact, she doesn't seem to be moving at all. oh dear, a dead Kairi.]



(ooc: She's still 'alive'. So. Go ahead and bug her.)

[this guy's just sneaking back to his room on the way from the kitchen, a big bag of cookies... which he promptly drops at the sight of oh my god it's a dead body on the couch ew]

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

[yeah, just lying there all corpse-like.]

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

[ewww it's a dead body ew why is he walking closer and hanging his head over hers? curiosity, maybe. have a light poke on the shoulder ohgod don't be cold.]

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

[is quite cold, actually. but a hand's shooting up to wrap corpse-cold fingers around his neck as her eyes snap open.]

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

[hi there, the kid's like ten years old and would scream if he could right now. mind if he just stares in utter terror?]

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

[withdraws her hand like it's on fire.]

Oh Christ, kid, I'm sorry!

[sits up, cursing internally.]

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

[l-looks like he could probably cry or something but just backs up a little.]

S-Sorry? I thought you were a dead body.

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

[feels horrible now.]

I'm sorry, kid. I am kind of dead, I'm a vampire. I shouldn't have fallen asleep out in the open like this.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

[ohhh, his eyes just got as big as saucers.]

Uh... It's okay. You're a vampire? A real vampire?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

[well that was a quick change. blinks.]

Yeah.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

O-oh, okay. That... makes more sense. Geez, are there any humans here?

[rubs at his neck a little, glad he didn't get bitten or something.]

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

There's plenty. Having bad luck with people you meet?

[streeeeeeeetches. and wouldn't bite anyone anyways.]

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Uh! Not really bad luck, since everyone's been nice. It's just that pretty much no one I talk to's a human! I even saw a walking skeleton.

[doesn't know that, though, and takes another step back.]

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

Well at least no one's attacked you.

[watches him moving back and sighs softly.]

'm not going to bite you, kid.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

[pauses a bit at that-- oh what the hey. rubs the back of his neck now, sheepishly.]

'kay, if you say so. The other guys I talked to didn't try anything either, so... I'll believe you!

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

Naw, really, kid. I'm not about to bite you or anyone else, even if I was hungry.

[or am, as the case would be.]

My bites work a little different than what you read in stories, so I can't anyways.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

[tilts his head, confused.]

How's it work?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

[goes quiet, looking down at her lap.]

If I bite someone who isn't a virgin and male, they'll turn into a ghoul- a zombie, kind of- under my command. And if I bite someone who happens to be both male and a virgin, they get Turned into a vampire. I can't just decide who to turn.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Whoaaa. That's kind of cool. In a kind of, you know, horror movie sort of way.

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

I guess. Makes feeding a little difficult, though.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Oh, guess it would be. You can't bite someone without something happening either way, huh? How do you feed?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

I was supplied with medical blood back home.

[not that I drank it...]

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Oh good. Bet it's cold though. What do you do here? Does this place have like, a blood room or somethin'?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

I haven't fed since I got here.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

... You're not going to go psycho on someone if you don't feed for too long, are you?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

If I start feeling weird I'll probably lock myself up somewhere anyways. And get someone to maybe fortify the exit with magic.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Well-- hey! That's no good either. Won't you starve?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

...probably, but it's better than turning people into ghouls.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Aw come on. I bet there's something you can do so you don't have to starve.

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

Well I fed from Sir Hellsing once, but that was barely anything. He cut his finger and made me lick the blood that came out.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

...thaaat's creepy. But! There're lots of people here! Maybe you could see if anyone would be willing to do that? You had medical blood, so you don't have to bite people.

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

...I need more than I'd feel comfortable taking from someone. I've kind of needed to feed since I got here, I got into a big fight just before that. Involved a lot of dismemberment and such.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Oh... ew. That's gross. But people here are weird, so maybe you could like. Form a line of 'em and just take a little from each person?

[totally trying to be helpful over here.]

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

[snorts, grinning ruefully.]

Maybe.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Aww, come on, be positive. There are tons of weirdos around here who'd prob'ly like it if you can't find enough like, nice ones.

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

Kid, I have very little to be positive about.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

[scratches at his head.]

Well, the more positive you are the more likely something good'll happen, right?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

I really can't think of a reason to be positive. At all.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

... You didn't go nuts and kill me when I woke you up?

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

That's because you didn't register as a threat, just a trespasser. So to speak.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

Still! I'm not dead! I'm pretty happy about that.

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

[smiles faintly.]

Well that's good, I suppose.

[wheresmynotes.livejournal.com]

See? Exactly.

[grins.]

[hellsingagent.livejournal.com]

So... huzzah, I didn't kill someone in my sleep.

[smile fades. sorry kiddo, gonna take more than that.]
