[IC] [MATURE] The Vampire RP

[CountDracula]

@Aisling Ioan shook his head. "Now that you say it... he really looks similar to Vlad, but when Vlad and I were young, there were no photos. This is young Albert Einstein."

"Dad, would you please go to the door? I think someone knocked on it," Dracula said. So his father went down and opened the door. "Hello," he said, seeing Dermot and Fiona.

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

"Albert Einstein! I never thought that he would even be cute let alone handsome..... interesting indeed..." Mystique spoke in complete surprise.

“Good day, sir. My name is Dermot Stepphanwolfe. I have come a long to find my sister, Mystique Stepphanwolfe. I have family news that is important.“ he spoke in a husky voice.

The young girl in the wheelchair looked at the man and was ready to cry until the man laid a hand on her head where she sat very still even though she was quite scared.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "This photo was taken around 1900. We studied together in Zurich," Ioan explained. "He studied physics, math and education and I studied physics, math and astronomy. Albert never got around well with his professors, mainly because he was a Jew and they were nazis. And you know what he did once?" Ioan smiled thinking of it. "One day, at lunch, he sat down next to his professor, and the professor said, 'Eagles don't eat with swines.' And Albert countered, 'I'll fly away in a minute.'"

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "I didn't mean to scare you..." the father said calmly to Fiona. "How about you two come in? It's cold outside," he then offered. "Mystique is away with Vladi's best friend and Vladi's son at the moment..."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

"He spoke like that to his professor like that! He spunky guy then. Is there any of Count with his wife or his father and his wife?" Mystique spoke calmly.

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

“I am so sorry to bother you at this time of or to lay our family problems on your doorstep. Our sister, Naurine is in the hospital and is not likely to survive the night. This is her daughter, Fiona. She has a few life complications. She has lived with me since she was six months old.
I can’t find our other sister, Cailleach, is wandering around somewhere and she is not likely to respond to my plea. And thusly not a good candidate for adopting Fiona. Not that Mystique is a selkie but at least she can handle herself in an appropriate manner that would lead the judges to ok her adopting Fiona.
She has a tough candidate, our Aunt Flora who is a selkie. She wants Fiona very badly and will use any trick to get her hands on her for some reason. I wouldn’t allow her to have a dead rat if I can prevent it. I have the money but being a bachelor, it will be hard for me to adopt her.”

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "Yes, but not here," Ioan answered.

The room was full of exhibits. Most of them were old instruments that looked interesting.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "I'm sure we can find a solution." The father held the door open for them. "As long as your sister is away, my son and me will care for you. We both are experienced with special needs children. How about that?" he asked Fiona with a friendly smile.

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

"You have more here than most museums back home! Is this one of the first instrument panels?"

"But you don't even know what my problems are even or if I fit into your family or any other numerous things that Uncle Dermot can tell you about." Fiona spoke quickly as she wheeled herself inside.

"I must apologise for my niece's outburst. She can be unpredictable and very cantankerous. Which I might add that she would need her medicine." Dermot frown at Fiona as he followed her inside taking off his hat and holding it in his hands.

"I won't stay long. Can you keep Fiona occupied while I try to call Mystique again? Fiona, please mind your manners." Dermot spoke.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "They are all pretty old," Ioan explained and looked at a small telescope. "That one's from 1800."

The father smiled again. "Oh, I know what children can be like... I've had four of them. - Fiona, how about I show you Toma's room? He's got some toys there, and I'm sure you can use them as well."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

"Cool..... You have a few of them....Do you have any actual moon rocks or stuff like that too?" Mystique walked along the display cases

"I don't know anyone named Toma but if you have some neat toys, I'd like to see them. So will Anna when she wakes up from her nap." Fiona spoke then turned around to Dremot.
"May I, Uncle Dermot?"

"Yes, you may." Dermot spoke.
"She can wheel herself with either her hands or with her battry backup. She knows hot to use it. Thank you so much." Dermot spoke as he quickly punch a number in.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "I've got a meteorite." Ioan went over to a stone that was displayed as well. He took a magnet and - klonk! - it sticked to the meteorite.

The father smiled. "Great. Just follow me. I'm Vladislaus, by the way."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

Fiona screamed "UNCLE DERMOT! THERE IS A VAMPIRE HERE! HELP!"

"FIONA! THAT IS QUITE ENOUGH. I already know that. Your Aunt Mystique lives here and will make that no one will eat you or some other nonsense.'"Dermot ran his hand through his hair as he grumbled
"I should not have allowed you stay at your great aunt.... And Mystique isn't answering for some reason.... So let's go together.

Suddenly, Mystique stopped and took her cell phone out.
"Please excuse me a minute.... loan can you take me back to the castle quickly! I'll explain on the way."

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "Of course," Ioan answered and teleported them to the castle.

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

Fiona screamed again when she saw the three people suddenly appeared nearby and pointed.

Dermot turned to look where Fiona was pointing.

"Mystique, dear." Dermot held out his arms for her.

Mystique walked slowly into them and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Sorry that I missed your first call." she whispered.
"And this little miss is the one you have in mind for me to take in? Hmmmm... Unruly hair, unbrushed fur? Are you sure that this is Naurine's- our sister- child? There is no ribbons or bows and has unkept look? I do not think that this is Fiona and the real Fiona has been swapped for a spoiled brat."

"Now that you have mentioned it, you could be right. Maybe I should let Auntie have her and be done with it." Dermot spoke sternly.

"I am Fiona. I don't want to go back there!" Fiona began to cry.

"Tis a horrible place so I'll keep her for a while." Mystique knelt down and pulled Fiona into her arms. As she held her, she closed her eyes.
"Dermot, Fiona is scared, confused, and too smart for her own good. She knows too much because she does not know how to handle the information that she has been given. I know that you have done your best however and it was Naurine's decision to give her to you. Are you sure of what you spoke on the phone?"

"I am afraid so. She slipped into a coma that may not be able to come out of...." dermot began to think to himself very loudly *I should have given her to Mystique to raise after i got her in my care....*

*Be aware that I can hear your mental thoughts as can others. We will talk later.* Mystique spoke back mentally.

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "Why are you screaming?" Toma asked her. "Obviously, you aren't human either... so, why are you afraid of other non-humans?"

[Aisling]

@CountDracula

"Because vampires suck your blood out and then you die. DUH!" Fiona spoke in between sobs.
"Sekies don't hurt vampires or humans.... we eat fishy things and stuff like kelp and seaweed."

"Now calm yourself, Fiona. Toma...." Mystique spoke then changed to mental
Please don't tell Fiona anything about me being a vampire. I'll tell her later, ok? She is frighten enough at the moment.
"Toma is a young friend of mine. Earlier today we put together an Orrey then we went to loan's workplace where we saw a whole bunch of things there. But I came as soon as I could."

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "Okay," Toma answered.

"You've watched too many films," Toma said. "My family won't just bite you. I've been living together with them for eight years and I'm still not dead."

[Aisling]

@CountDracula
"Nope. Auntie said so. And maybe you aren't tasty enough." Fiona spoke.

"Actually, he can be very sweet and no vampires just don't go around drinking blood all of the time. And they do not go around biting people for the fun of it. Auntie is the type of a person who likes to scare children. She scared me many times until I stood up to her. You will not be going back to Auntie's house ever again and you will learn many new things to do that you will soon forget Auntie. Now let's get you settled in.
Have you had your soaking today?" Mystique asked.

Dermot broke in.
"Sis? I need to go and don't turn your phone off, ect. Fiona is now yours to raise. I'll handle the paper work and send the money and such when I can."

Mystique simply nodded.
" Vladislaus is Count Dracula's father and they own the castle. Sir, is there a room next to mine where Fiona can sleep in tonight? I'll explain a few things later."

[CountDracula]

@Aisling "Yes," the father answered. "I can also give her an electric bed if it's needed."
