[OOC] The Rebel Vampire

[PopeAlessandros]

And they are. . . *Sigh* *Waits patiently for reply*

[TShara]

Sorry dear, I just got home from laptop shopping. Asking questions and explaining answers to my 73 year old grandmother so that she can make an informed choice. My body wants me to nap now, but I'll try and post first. :-)

[PopeAlessandros]

I'ma hit up my bed for a few hours, then, I got one reply before you, then it'll be your turn! In other words, you SHOULD have a reply from me tonight :P Sorry for the wait. Weekend stuffs. . . . .Blame my Sis and an overly affectionate boyfriend :P He's such a cute little Uke. . ..

[TShara]

Lol, fair enough... As long as you aren't too annoyed with me when I go to visit my significant other in a few weeks. :-P

[PopeAlessandros]

RL comes first, we all must come to accept this at some time in our OL lives, and I came to terms with that fact some time ago. . . . *Sigh*

[TShara]

Sigh* Sadly my attempt at a twist won't work anymore, but that's ok. I think it might have upset Alexi. :-P

[PopeAlessandros]

Mur? What was the twist. I may find it amusing :P

[TShara]

I was going to have Joseph attempt to help Erik escape back to the Resistance. Obviously it would have failed so that the story could continue, and it's pretty predictable, but it would have at least thrown a slight wrench into things.

[PopeAlessandros]

Ah, but now things are running more smoothly, and Erik isn't being tortured, so that kinda took away his motivation, huh?

[TShara]

Exactly. He didn't want to betray Alexi, but he hated watching anyone be tortured like that for any reason. Soon after Erik reached insanity, he was going to hit a breaking point and try and find a way to get him out. Now there's no reason for it, since he understands a little more.

I will point out that that's another thing that totally could have been prevented by Alexi explaining himself from the beginning. :-P

[PopeAlessandros]

*Giggles* But he's mad, remember?

[TShara]

That he is.

Look, a new post! :-)

[PopeAlessandros]

*Giggles*

Awww, poor Alexi's gonna hafta tell the guy he has to stay in the chains for another night *Sigh*

[TShara]

Yeah, feel bad for Alexi... not the person who's actually in the chains... that makes sense. :-P

[PopeAlessandros]

*Giggles*

Yep, that's exactly how things go :P OH! If you like Alexi's madness, you should check out my crazy vampire in another RP :P He's amazing :P

[TShara]

I would, but I'm lacking time to read anything right now, partially due to writing lol.

"So, I want you to trust me, and I trust you enough to drink a potion that will let you into my brain... but I'm still going to keep you shackled to a wall..." Mixed messages much? Lol. How Alexi frames that is going to determine just how pissed off Erik is. Is one dose enough that Alexi will be able to feel echoes when Erik has particularly strong emotions?

[PopeAlessandros]

Nope, he will not be able to feel emotions from Erik until after the second one, well, other than the ones he's already felt :P And he only needs to remain shackled for a night. . . .Unless. . . . . .Would Erik agree to something a little more liberating, even if it may be a little more. . .Symbolically humiliating?

[TShara]

Hmm, like what?

He might not be that annoyed, really. He only said he would take the potion, but he hasn't done it yet. So far, Alexi is "ahead" on the trust game. On the other hand, if he's still shackled, he's still being "forced" to do it in a sense... I don't know. It's late lol.

Do what you want and I'll stop overthinking it. :-)

[PopeAlessandros]

A collar that will keep him from leaving the room. The remote would go to Joseph, so Alexi could, in a way, further show his trust. The only setting would be to keep him in the bedroom and bathroom areas, he would not be allowed to leave past those two room. Not a shock collar, but literally he would just freeze in the doorway or window, most likely falling back into to room after a couple seconds. Since the other controls have to be manual implemented, with Joseph going about his chores, he will not be there to enact them, so, in other words, Erik COULD kill Alexi if he wanted to :P

[TShara]

He wouldn't like it, but I can see him agreeing to it. He's really trying hard to force himself to put his pride and emotions aside and to be pragmatic. Expect some questions and complaining though. :-P
