@Aisling "And I have to think way too much..." Dracula said. "As a head of state, you never have a day off."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

"Everyone has their own burden to carry. Some do carry their burden better. I think that it is time for me to let you rest for a while." Mystique picked up her artwork to leave.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "Actually, it feels good to talk to someone..." Dracula said. "But if you want to leave, I won't hold you here."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula
"I have no desire to upset you anymore than I already have. I am sure that Toma and loan as well as your father can speak with you and on your level." she spoke as she shouldered her art bag. Mystique gave Count Dracula a weak smile before she left the room. She headed to her room where she placed her artwork on the bed. She put her cell phone in her pocket and pulled on a sweater. She checked her camera and placed it over her head before she left to go looking for a picture hike.

@Aisling "Actually, these outbursts are helping me..." Dracula said via telepathy. "They let me relieve stress... and as a head of state, you're under more stress than in any other job." The father agreed. "I'm a doctor now. I've got a lot of responsibility now as well, but only for the couple of hundred people in my hospital. Vladi is responsible for 22 million..."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

All that I have to watch over is myself. Not that I count for much.Mystique thought as she went out of the hospital door. She glances around to see if there was anything to take pictures of.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "Everyone matters..." the father said. "That's why we doctors try to help people, even you."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

And overcharge people for services until the person runs out of money. Then you are magically well. Yes, the doctors care about the people who can pay.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "In America, yes, but not here in Romania," Dracula's father ensured. "Here in Romania, it is like that: Everyone has got a health insurance. Those who can pay for it by themselves. Those who can't don't have to pay anything. The state will do so. It's one of the greatest laws Vladi has made."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula


That is good for the people of Romania. I am a american and that is what happened to me. Now I must find a way to finish paying off my bills. Somehow I will find a good story to write and take pictures of. I need a lot of pictures for my portfolio. Pictures that will tell the story without any words at all. I need at least a dozen of these stories. A couple hundred pictures maybe...... Then I might be able to get hired by some magazine.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "I feel really sorry for you..." the father said. "How can't a state care about its inhabitants' health? I've been a head of state as well, and back then, Wallachia was just as broke as Romania is now... how can a president who only cares about that in such poor ways call himself a good president?"

[Aisling]

@CountDracula


Once someone is elected into an office, he or she starts to think about the next race that he or she is going to run in. I am not into politics but this is what I have been told by those who have followed politics. I haven't called any of them a good president. I honestly don't understand any of the politics.

@Aisling "That's why the people here wanted the monarchy back," Dracula said. "If stupid people get to elect, they shouldn't wonder why they've got a stupid president. - Of course, we sometimes have to make decisions that aren't nice at all. I also have to do that, but if a president does nothing but making such decisions, you should be worried."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

I am not going to worry about it. Maybe I can find a man who will marry me and take good care of me. I really don't need much....

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "But you are a person who can change it," Dracula said. "In a democracy, every single individual has got power, but that power is often being underestimated."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula


Simply because I don't understand so I don't vote at all. I wish that I had someone who i could talk to......... never mind. Just a passing thought.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "I don't like saying this, but..." Dracula began. "People like you are the reason why your country is the way it is. Instead of just saying, 'I don't understand it, so I won't vote', you should say, 'I haven't understood it yet, but I'll do anything to understand it, so that I can change my country to the better in future'. And don't say, 'I've tried to understand, but I couldn't'. Then, you haven't tried hard enough. You can learn and understand anything if you try hard enough. Math, quantum physics,... even politics."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula


Perhaps so... but that also will mean that I care about what happens,which I wonder if I really do care anymore.....

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "You should," Dracula said. "Twelve years ago, when I started to plan my coup d'etat, I was just like a version of you with more money... I was rich, but I didn't have any political power at all. People didn't even know how I was. They didn't know I was a vampire, and they believed me to be a descendant of Vlad the Impaler. I couldn't stand it any more how my predecessors were destroying the country. I started from scratch, so to say. But over the following two years, I had more and more people on my side, until in 2005, I've had a group of 40,000 soldiers to help me with taking over power."
