[OOC] The Rebel Vampire

[PopeAlessandros]

No problem, glad you had fun, hope you have fun at the next one, and of course RL comes first. Thanks for the update, and as always, I will be waiting patiently.

[TShara]

Finally got something down. Sorry it's so short, but I had very little dialogue, and I feared that I would repeat myself if I tried to go too far into Joseph's thoughts again.

[PopeAlessandros]

I uuhhhh. . . .*Braindead* I. . .Um, yes! I may get one out tonight, but not likely, BUT! Tomorrow. . .You are at top of lest. . . List. . . .Yes, list. . . .

[TShara]

Lol, it's alright. I can wait until tomorrow. I am finishing Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood tonight, and tomorrow will probably the movie and probably more Game of Thrones episodes with my mom. Also, this cover letter thing I have to write... Besides, I have like 5 replies to do for other people still. I am patient, or at least easily distract-able. :-P

Sleep well, friend.

[PopeAlessandros]

Dankeshin(Thank you). . . G'night. . . . .

[TShara]

Danke Schoen (or Schon with umlaut), actually. :-)

Guten Nacht.

[PopeAlessandros]

Well fine, so I can say it I just can't spell it :P

[TShara]

Lol, sorry. You caught me on one of the few German phrases I actually remember. :-P

[PopeAlessandros]

Pbbbbbbbbbb :P Let me know what you think *Grin*

[TShara]

Sorry about Joseph's "programming." I think it's sort of a defense mechanism for him at this point. When he's confronted by emotions he does not want to feel, it's easier for him to bury them if he reminds himself that, strictly speaking, he is not supposed to be feeling anything. I can imagine that 500 years of slavery would do that to a person.

Elaria sounds like an awesome character. :-) How long ago did Alexi buy her?

[PopeAlessandros]

No, don't apologize, it adds to his character, and I like that :P

Elaria was the third slave Alexi ever purchased, and it was at an auction with his father. Alexi would often defend her from his father, saying not to damage such a rare purchase, but he'd always smile at her afterwards. You could say, that in the eyes of the staff at least when he was a young teen, that he played favorites with her. After dad was gone, and she was no longer in danger, he basically began treating her like he treats all his slaves, but she never got over his chivalry.

[TShara]

I'm glad you don't mind. I think, in a lot of ways, Joseph has become more complex than Erik, even though initially Erik was supposedly my "main" character.

Aww, that's really sweet. :-D How old were Alexi and Mois when their father died? Also, I remember naming him Tristan, but that's because I didn't know if you had a name for him yet, so I just picked something.

Also, what timezone are you in? You're often up at these strange hours, or at least strange to me. :-P Sorry if I've already asked you. I forget stuff all the time.

[PopeAlessandros]

Erik will get his chance to shine more as time moves on :P

Alexi was 19 and his brother 22, just old enough to take over the company, and already very savvy :P I have no problem with the name choice, after all, I believe in completely sharing side characters as you may or may not recall :P

It is 6AM right now, and I keep odd hours, especially on weekends, and when my neighbors don't let me get my sleep after work. Just a little run down, I work mon-fri from 9AM to 5PM, I sleep from 6PM to 10-11PM most of those days unless something happens and either I can't get to sleep, or I over sleep, and on weekends I'm awake when I'm awake :P So, yeah, that's my basic schedule if you were wondering, you can do the cross zone math if you want to :P

[TShara]

I'm sure he will. :-)

Fair enough, I was just curious. 19 is pretty young to be a CEO lol.

Ahh, ok. That's... more normal than my sleeping schedule right now. The panel and party schedule at the conventions sort of screwed me up, and since my current responsibilities aren't really time-locked, I'm kind of just sleeping when I'm tired. And yeah, I'm on Eastern as well. I think I'll have a more regular schedule once classes and work are set up, but for now I'm doing some chores, filling out paperwork, sending important emails, and otherwise enjoying what is... Oh shit, the last week of summer. :-/

[PopeAlessandros]

Awwww. . . .I has a friend who just got done with their first week back at school if that makes you feel any better. You know, at least you have more break :P (Just so you know, I loved school, so sorry if I ever sound like I have no sympathy for you. I kinda miss it :P)

[TShara]

I like learning. I don't like school. :-P

[PopeAlessandros]

I have a talent for switching off a part of my brain where I don't notice the things that bother me, and in school that's how I drifted passed all the sucky stuff. It is a talent I wish I could pass on to people to make their lives better. . . . .At least when it comes to the actual parts of life that it is good to ignore. . . .

[TShara]

Well, you are a man of many talents, Pope. I, on the other hand, am not.

I had to leave my previous school because I got sick and tired of the stress and my mental illnesses leading me to doing poorly even though I've always been fairly intelligent. I transferred schools to somewhere cheaper and with a less stressful (though less prestigious) reputation, to try and ameliorate some of that, but I'm still not eager to return to it.

[PopeAlessandros]

*Sends virtual hugs* Yay! Less stress!

[TShara]

Hopefully. Right now, getting all of my enrollment stuff set up is causing plenty of stress.
