[OOC] The Rebel Vampire

[PopeAlessandros]

Hiyou! I'm back! I live!!!! Kukukukuku :P

[TShara]

Great! The past several days have been really busy for me, but I'm trying to catch up today. :-)

[PopeAlessandros]

Hnnn? Joseph should not have met Erik, nor even heard his name yet. Alexi sent all the servant to their rooms long before Erik got there. . . . .I thought I put that in. . . . .

[TShara]

Alright, I somehow read that as everyone except him, before. But I'll remove it and save the clip to use later.

[TShara]

I am sooo confused and curious as to what your big plan is, and as a result I'm kind of afraid I won't play into it as well as you want. :-)

[PopeAlessandros]

Since you don't wanna know, all I can say, or ask for, is that you go along with none of the servants other than Joseph ever finding out just who Alexi has captive. If you wanna know, I can tell, and we can work together on it, I'd love to see your thoughts on the matter, but if not this will be an interesting challenge for me as well as Alexi :P

[TShara]

On the one hand I want to know for my own curiosity, and so that I can contribute. But on the other hand I can probably play more true the characters if I don't know what you have in mind. And being surprised is rare for me, so it really might be fun to be surprised this time. :-)

As far as the other servants not figuring it out, I recommend that we allow Joseph to find out who he has soon, but put him under orders to keep everyone else from knowing. He's in a good position to accomplish that. And I really want him to know about Erik because I'm eager to start some of his angst regarding allowing the hard breaking to happen to someone else.

[PopeAlessandros]

Heheheh, "Eager to start angst", that made me giggle, but I know what you mean :P Yeah, Joseph will discover it soon, since Alexi has every intention of telling him as soon as possible. He trusts the elder vampire :P

The only reason I don't want any of the servants to find out, is because I don't want anyone from the resistance to find out, at least not for a long time :P *Evil laugh* All part of my plan, mwahahahaaaa!

[TShara]

I see... Well, I'll try and get a reply up soon. I'm trying to do one that's been waiting 6 days first.

And about the angst, that's really the wrong word. It's just he's really uncomfortable with the idea of forcing anyone to go through the torture he went through. But he cannot and would not dare disobey Master Alexi. Alexi may not be a cruel man, but some of his ancestors were, especially in the early years when humans still felt strongly that they were "paying back" all of the horrible things that had happened to them.

[PopeAlessandros]

By the way, the "Tullian" was a random name I pulled out of my head for a brand of wine :P

Oh, and I know what you mean. I too am looking forward to the interactions over the hard breaking :P

[TShara]

It was a nice one. And it totally makes sense that other things about the universe would be different as well.

Yes... This will be interesting...

Okay, so besides Vampires, Werewolves (since those are like peas and carrots in fantasy stories), and I added nymphs, what other kinds of creatures are there in the world? I hardly write or read fantasy anymore, so I kind of cant think of much else unless we want to start creating species.

[PopeAlessandros]

We can do both, but I see elves(Tolkin, not Grimm), centaurs, shape shifters, beastmen, dryads, sayters, other kinds or weres, more if we think of it :P

[TShara]

And they are all enslaved or in hiding? Enslaving the "evil" races makes some sense, but how do they justify it for the ones who never preyed upon humans? This backstory could get super-complicated very fast... although I consider that a good thing, as long as my lazy gray matter can handle it.

[PopeAlessandros]

Well, it is a part of human nature to blame all for the actions of some. So, I'd say that at some point in the past the humans began blaming all none humans for the trouble caused by the evil and mischievous races, and feeling that was unfair the none humans fought back, making the humans feel all justified! Make sense?

[TShara]

Yes that makes sense. :-) I've certainly used similar justifications in other stories, and that's roughly what I was thinking here.

I think at some point it might be interesting for Erik and Mois to get to know each other. I would think that they would have a good bit in common, both being fairly military-like guys.

[PopeAlessandros]

Indeed. I can see them having occasion to chat. See, Mois, much like yer guys, doesn't know Alexi's true agenda either so he's going to be using any avenue possible to find out and try and stop the one thing about the plan he does know but doesn't agree with :P

[TShara]

Alexi is certainly strange... I almost wish we could post a little faster just so I can find out what the hell is going on lol. At this rate it will seriously be months before I find out IC. But I understand that with all your stories, not to mention real life, you probably don't have the time.

[TShara]

How does Alexi have all of his money? I mean I understand it's been in the family for generations, but the cash would run out without some level of investing and further income and such. Especially with that kind of extravagance, damn.

As a bonus question, you're welcome to inform me of the history of how the Vandros family became so wealthy many generations ago? But that's less important to me than what Alexi does to maintain that wealth.

[TShara]

I hate to say it, but if Erik is going to be chained to the bed the entire time, my posts for him are going to wind up being quite short. There's only so much I can write about when he can't really do anything. Now, I don't mind short posts, but it's just a warning.

Also, how is he supposed to do things like use the bathroom? Hate to be crude, but seriously...

[PopeAlessandros]

Unless he's eating food, which I have the distinct impression Alexi is going to deny him for the most part, there really is no reason for him to use the bathroom since a vampire would just absorb the blood, and if he really needs to use the bathroom Alexi will give him a chamber pot and some privacy. As for being chained, Alexi is ready to give him a longer reach of the chain, and occasional "Walks" with them with Joseph making sure that no one is around to see Erik. The reach of the chains will encompass most of the room at it's fullest extent, and Alexi has a library along with a wide variety of old toys and gadgets which Erik will have access to basically right after this talk. Make sense?
