Somethings Can't Be Forgotten

All the Chopped you ever need

Maxen would step up for his lady, I see. Nice.
Elizabeth is a lovely lady, sure, but since Jaspin, she doesn't take kindly to being flirted with.
They're not a thing. Nadya and Bela are probably closer to each other than they are to anyone else in the clan, but she doesn't reciprocate his flirting. His advance are on the blunt, crude side, so it's no surprise that she doesn't take well to them. Of course, I think there's a lot more to Bela's attraction to her, but whether either of them come to understand that is anyone's guess.
Seeing as Bela's advances are kind of lewd, I don't know what Abigail would think of them. Maybe she'd welcome them, because that's more attention for her, I dunno.

It's simple! Just don't do any of the things you really really need to do! Then you can watch Chopped all day until it's 9 at night, you have a week's worth of work due first thing in the morning, you haven't done any of it, and you're cursing your shit work ethic!

It might be easier if I just compiled a list of women he doesn't try to hit on. Because he hits on Nadya nonstop, he hits on Eleanora, will hit on Violet a bit... he'll probably hit on Simone and Abigail at some point for good measure. I want to say that he doesn't hit on Elizabeth for obvious reasons, but tbh when they first met, he probably hit on her too. He didn't make that mistake twice.
Is there anyone who would take well to his flirting?
Shouldn't even really call it flirting. Flirting implies it's more sweet and smiling than he really is.

Awwwwww

Rogues are like thieves, so wouldn't Maxen fit the bill?

!! Buddy I have been watching Chopped nonstop for like a month and a half. It's really funny, just sitting here, thinking 'Oh, you didn't clean the membranes of those lamb fries, you're so chopped,' as I'm sprawled out on my bed eating cheetos with a fork.

The anger issues plus Bela's tendency to hit on anything wearing a skirt... yeah, they might understand each other in theory, but they might not be friends.
But him and Violet, that sounds so sweet. I envision kind of charming old-fashioned things, like Maxen bringing her single roses and Violet being all shy about it.

Nice. I can predict a style of brutality he might have.

Like we're doing some tabletop RPG shit. Now we need a bard, a healer, an archer...

No problem, m8. We're all kinda lazy. If you knew how many days I would just lie on my bed marathoning Chopped...

How interesting. Reminds me a little of Bela, with how they lose who they were to some consuming anger. Seems they might be kindred spirits in a way.
Almost a year, so them as an item is very new, considering their age. Violet has come across as quite a cutie in the past, so Maxen is a lucky guy.

Now you're starting to talk a little bit about how Jaspin maintains his clan, which is really something I've been looking forward to knowing, how his leadership style differs from Elizabeth's. So Jaspin let Nathaniel be attacked and didn't help him for a similar reason, like Nathaniel is a troublemaker and Jaspin wanted to teach him a lesson? So would Jaspin be as brutal as Elizabeth?

Bumping

At this point in time, my availability has gone down slightly, so responses to the RP will be more like every other day. OOC replies will be reasonably frequent.

I'm really craving romance right now.

Gonna emphasize my need for quality, meaty writing.

Somethings Can't Be Forgotten

I love how we've both created a variety of almost different classes of characters. We have designated leaders and fighters/bodyguard types and hunters. I dunno what to say about it, I just like it.
It'll happen eventually. We'll make sure of it.

Awesome! I kind of like his story, very classic setup for vengeance. He's very focused, which I like. It's also very interesting that Maxen and Simone were a unit of sorts for a while, we haven't had anything quite like that yet. I see that Maxen is into Violet, what's their relationship like? Also, there's a lot of detail about Simone, which is helpful for me, but I'm curious why she didn't want to join the Reese clan?

@James T Kirk I'm up for the assassin x target or vampire x human. I've been craving romance.

Jaspin doesn't seem like the type to hit a lady, I didn't think he would. I really do hope there is eventually a moment where one (or both) of them say it's been hundreds of years, it's time we put this behind us once and for all. It won't be easy, but I do hope they get there.

I know very little about Maxen and Simone so far. Tell me a bit about what you've conceptualized them as.

After the shock of all the negative feelings being dredged up about everything else, that's almost a reasonable reaction.

Jeez, is there anything not terrible that's going to happen when they meet face to face? One starts to wonder if they could really reconcile their love after all these horrible things.

Oh, yeah, yeah. I remember now. My bad.
Still though, that'll be some great conflict, considering the Mercers veer away from outright killing people.

As an idea for how they start coming across each other, I'm thinking Jonathan or Eleanora spots a member of the Reese clan doing their thing with luring people away. They don't have to be caught in the act, because most of the time vampires know other vampires when they see them. But one of them reports the vampire to Elizabeth, and they start with their normal protocol for dealing with other vampires in their territory. Of course, it gets complicated when the Mercers find out they're dealing with a whole clan, and even more complicated when they find who the leader is.
Have you had any ideas about it?

'Dramatics' oh man, the moment he says that about her, that's going to turn into a fun, fun scene.

Angry because Elizabeth did something human, that he really wanted with her, when he had accepted that it couldn't have happened?
If he really wanted to raise a child with her, I can understand how seeing her say she raised a son would feel like a slap to the face.

That would make sense for them to eventually encounter each other again in that fashion. The way you say hunting though, is that what you're thinking of the Reese clan doing? Going more old-school with hunting humans? That would definitely create conflict between the clans and definitely bring about a confrontation.
