[OOC] The Rebel Vampire

[PopeAlessandros]

Wow, we're up to seven pages already, that's amazing. . . .

When Realms Collide

Enjoy! And I'm sure it will be :P

[PopeAlessandros]

Oh, by the way, if my plan is successful, at some point in the future I may have to request a kind of "live session" either in the chat on here, or on Skype. The kind of scene in my head will be a decent string of event that will be more intense if kept short :P

[TShara]

I saved the RP to read later.

Hmm, interesting. I've done stuff like that before and it was enjoyable. More realistic and fast-paced character interaction.

That elf really saddens me. At least Joseph knows that life should be better. Not for himself, but for others. That driver seriously can't imagine being free. I get that Alexi is a kinder owner, but it's still rather messed up.

Do you want to timeskip?

[PopeAlessandros]

Uwin(That's his name) understands that life could be a whole lot better, however he's contenting himself with what he's got, counting his blessings of not being with a cruel owner. I know he seems airheaded, but he's also one who would love to be free. However, I see him kinda being like Joseph and just going on with the job he's got, just actually getting paid for it y'know? :P

And sure, go ahead if you like. It'll take a few hours for the meeting to finish, and then he's got some more things to do. Alexi will be back around. . . . Two hours after sunset.

[TShara]

Ahh, fair enough. He just seems so... happy and content, which is both uplifting and disheartening at the same time.

Joseph wouldn't take any money for the job he's doing. Alexi would have to literally order him to take it, and then he wouldn't spend it. He thinks slavery is morally horrid, but in his mind, he personally is serving a life sentence for his earlier deeds. He's convinced himself very deeply that he doesn't deserve better, even though he thinks other slaves do.

Alright, I can skip to that.

It's 3 AM for me though, so I think I'm going to try and get some sleep. Thanks for all the fun replies today!

[PopeAlessandros]

*Shifty eyes* Do, da, di. . . .

Oki day then, you get some good sleep, I'm glad you had fun :P

[TShara]

I'm guessing there is no way that Joseph could take Erik's place and have the plan still work, right? Regardless, I'll probably have him ask anyway, when Erik's pain level becomes really bad.

Your shifty eyes scare me lol.

[PopeAlessandros]

*Slow grin* Ignore the shiftiness, these are not the droids you're looking for *Waves hand like Obiwan*. Kukukuku, and no, it wouldn't work. Feel free to have him ask though!

[TShara]

Lol. Well, part of the reason I've been seriously upping my posting speed in this one is because I'm so curious to find out. It's still going to be forever before I find out though. I'm just trying to save it from being forever and a half. My working theory is it's something that involves Alexi sacrificing himself.

Also, special clothes that vampires wear while being broken? What would those even be? Why would you buy clothes for it?

[PopeAlessandros]

I'm sure you'll at least find it interesting when it comes, but I really can't tell you since you asked me not to :P If we keep up this speed, it may not take as long as you think *Smile* Feel free to keep theorizing, it's fun to watch :P

And the reason is funk. Alexi designed a line of clothing for vampires in need of breaking because whether it be the ankles, or wrists, or both, normal cloths will not be an option, and with the time it takes to break a vamp the smell would be overwhelming. Sure, some people just have the vamps nude, but even that would get stinky after a while with all the stuff they go through. It's easier to just buy some clothes that can be put on without having to take of the manacles! Hand washing is still a necessity for a truly unfunky smelling vamp slave in the making, but the options of some nice fashionable atire is too much for a lot of rich families to pass up :P

[TShara]

I'm... actually not sure what those would look like. I can't see a way for the clothes to get through the manacles. Unless they sort of wrapped around or something?

Erik is only bound by his wrists though, not his ankles I think.

I guess I can see that, although nudity might be more economical. :-P Still, I can't see Alexi making this more undignified than he thinks he has to.

Oh, and if you want my characters to stop asking what Alexi is doing, we'll have to bring something else up. Information is sort of all they care about right now. Joseph wants to protect him, and Erik wants to figure out what's going on and escape. Both require information for that. But it does seem a bit repetitive.

[PopeAlessandros]

Dun' worry, I know what Alexi will order, and it works. Yeah, he can wear normal pants. *Shurgs* Conversations will go where they go :P

[TShara]

Okay, as long as you don't mind on the conversation thing. I keep reacting in terms of my character, only to realize that it would read as very repetitive in a story.

[PopeAlessandros]

S'fine. Acting true to one's character is a good thing. You keep doing that and so shall I. I think you're second after one more. . .Or next, I can't remember. I will get a response up tonight though!

[TShara]

lol, how many RPs are you even in right now? I remember a while ago you said 28. But I was at 14 and I'm down to 10, so it really does change.

And I'm glad you don't mind.

I also hope you like what I'm doing with the escalating symptoms. :-)

[PopeAlessandros]

17 active ones, 24 1x1s total, and four Group, but all the groups are inactive. . . .

It's seems right, so yeah, it looks good :P

[TShara]

Wow... I never cease to be impressed with that. I think 10 is my max that I can even really keep up with and enjoy. Some of mine ended for various reasons and I'm finally at a good number for me.

Lol, well I'm glad it seems right.

[PopeAlessandros]

*Shrug* Just be glad you can't do it. The reason why I can isn't exactly a good one. *Points at head* It's my wiring. Most people struggle to multitask, others pride themselves in it. Me? If I'm not multitasking, not only can I not concentrate, but I get this god awful headache. If I don't slow my mind down with a pile of tasks I can't concentrate on anything. Having so many RPs, and normally several pending responses, is a great way to occupy a decent amount of my mind and lets me get things done even away from the computer. Working, figuring, recalling, formulating, all constantly working into my next slue of posts. Sometimes I wonder what's it's like to have nothing to think about for a "normal" brain, and it's then, I envy those people. . . .

[TShara]

I multitask with my RPs because I get bored otherwise. I'll be daydreaming about responses because it makes the other things I have to do less boring. But I get to the point of "okay, this is too much." And when I had a lot of school, and a social life, I've had times that I wasn't rping and it didn't bother me, because I found other things to occupy my time with and daydream about.

So I guess i can understand it, but I guess I'm closer to "normal" on the spectrum.

[TShara]

Am I somewhere next on your insane list? :-P

It's fine if I'm not, just wondering. I seriously could never keep up with the number of responses you put out a day...
