[OOC] The Rebel Vampire

[PopeAlessandros]

Well, not exactly like that. Yes, Alexi does not watch the news, but he does know more than just "He's pretty" though that is a factor (Alexi's a little shallow there ya know :P) He has detailed records of everything Erik has done, and he's heard testimony from the interrogators about the rebels who have been captured and (This is my own invention) have all managed to kill themselves rather than divulging anything important with the help of humans who support the rebellion :P Alexi likes that Erik can inspire that type of devotion, or so Alexi sees it :P

[TShara]

But if he has all those records and everything, then he would have to know his name. Like, I just don't see how it makes sense otherwise. He may want to pretend he doesnt know it to get Erik to reveal it himself, but there is no reason he wouldn't know it. It would be like trying to capture Ted Bundy without knowing the name Ted Bundy... I just don't get it, then again I guess I don't have to to play Erik. Just another case of Alexi being a weirdo.

Also, Erik and the Xani cell don't encourage suicide except as a last resort. Some may have done it, but they encourage resistance and try to save their own.

I have a friend over for the weekend so I might not get to an OOC response for a few days. Can't be sure either way. Also, is your avatar picture from Death Note? She saw it and asked.

[PopeAlessandros]

Yes, that is L from Death Note, and I think this is one of the only cases where I'm not going to argue any more logic. Alexi doesn't know, period. He just doesn't. Even if it doesn't make sense, he doesn't know. His brother presented him with profiles, reports, outlines, redacting the names from each and every one because he knew his brother didn't want to know. He has no rich friends to discuss things with, he doesn't listen to rumors, he doesn't listen to radio, or watch TV, and he ignores most talk about the rebellion, to busy with his own plans for slavery. You can think about it what you will, but the fact will remain: Alexi doesn't know Erik's name. Mois does, because he was the one doing all the research, but Alexi, doesn't. I'm not upset, so please don't take it as such, I'm just not sure what else to say. It is what it is, and I can not change how it is.

[TShara]

Alright, alright. I guess if Mois gave him reports with names redacted, then ok. Expect Erik to be weirded out by that though. Part of the reason he hasn't told his name to Alexi is because he just assumes Alexi knows it.

[TShara]

So, for the sake of the story, I'm going to say that the "original" potion, was before even Joseph's time? I would think that the technology was all but lost until it reemerged soon after the slavery began. I think ... certain plans of mine work better if Joseph doesn't understand the truth until basically the same time that Erik does.

[PopeAlessandros]

No problem. I was figuring Joseph would have no idea about the potion.

[TShara]

Great, thanks.

So the Guild was down for a while yesterday, and I'm kind of worried about things crashing like they did back in January. Is there any chance you'd be interested in exchanging info for a backup site or anything, in case another crash happens permanently or temporarily? I haven't backed up either of our stories yet, but it's on my (ever increasing) list of things to do.

[PopeAlessandros]

Well, this is the other site I'm actually active on - Role Play Adventures

So if you need a back up for being in contact with me, that one will work. I've got the same name there. This site ha been flickering for days, but I hope it doesn't go down and erase everything again. I'll be making back-ups soon too, maybe even tonight since all these flickers has kept several of my regulars from responding, giving me much more free time than I'm use to.

[TShara]

*Groan* Just what I need, a fourth RP site to be on... lol. I made an account there as "T'Shara" same as here but with the apostrophe. So I'll contact you there if things go awry here.

[PopeAlessandros]

Oki. If you don't want to hook to another RP site, you can always use me second home, The City of IF. It's for people aspiring to be writers, or writers who want to become better at it.

[PopeAlessandros]

There is only one niggle about your post. There is no window in Alexi's room, so once all the lights are turned off, there is no light source in the room. It is completely black, no light even coming in under the door.

[PopeAlessandros]

Dun' worry, I fixed it! Posted!

[TShara]

No big deal, I can just change that line then.

[PopeAlessandros]

Nu, I fixed it :P *Points at post*

[TShara]

Nice fix. :-)

I have a couple of potential (minor) monkeywrenches to try and throw into your master plan. It's just I'm holding off for various reasons... it has only been about, two days so far.

[TShara]

Just a note.... Erik might stay relatively civil for like... a day or two, but I plan on the bloodlust driving him a little crazy and violent towards everyone.

[PopeAlessandros]

Sounds good.

[PopeAlessandros]

Oh, so vicious :P Makes me wanna cuddle him even more!

[TShara]

He's actually being relatively nice right now. Every impulse inside him wants to rage against his chains and scream at Alexi at the top of his lungs. He's acting very very controlled at the moment, using his mind to overcome his animalistic impulses. But at some point that control is going to break.

And just try to cuddle him... that should be amusing. :-P

[PopeAlessandros]

I'm a little confused at that part where you talked about him taking out the phial from the box. Erik never sees the first phial, it's in Alexi's pocket out of sight when Alexi pulls out the second one, so I'm not sure what that part was about in your post. . . .
