Video - Unseelie/Seelie (Post-dated to the 2nd)

[withbite]

[Hello there, Drabwurld. Have one slightly mussed vampire giving the locket a lazy smile. Is he calling from bed? Looks like. It may or may not be his own bed. Don't question that. Everything's covered, though, so no worries about scarring any delicate sensibilities.]

Some of you might recognize me, others might not. Either way, I'll keep this short and sweet. Since I'm back here again, I'm still going to need to fulfill those dietary requirements I mentioned last time. Which means donors.

[Not that he couldn't take what he wanted as he pleased, but he'd seen some of the things those here could do his last trip and the last thing he wanted was to find himself trying to have lunch with a witch and winding up with a few aneurysms for his trouble. Rude, witches.]

Again, only reply if you're either interested in offering or, I don't know, have a servant or whatever that's expendable. I'm not interested in playing twenty questions or show and tell.

[And that was as in depth as he planned on getting right now. People could offer or... he could get hungry enough to just take a risk and jump some hapless fairy. They were about the size of a juice box...]

I'm a man of the Night's Watch. [A beat!] ... Was.

[withbite]

And that means...? What, you're more of a voyeur than a participator?

[baseborne]

[omfg Damon] It means-- oh, never mind what it means. [he's not flustered UR flustered!!]

[withbite]

[Totally innocent what?]

Then why bring it up? Unless... how old are you, exactly?

[baseborne]

[Huff. Fairly sure he ought not to say it but saying it anyway W/E.] Because a man of the Night's Watch swears vows. [Vows. Sex vows! Rather, lack of sex vows!] Seven-and-ten, why?

[withbite]

Right. Sure. Vows.

[Jon could tell what he thought of vows by the way he said the word.

He could also tell what Damon thought of his age.]

Great. I'm surrounded by babies with swords.

[baseborne]

[Jon has butted up against this wall with Stiles a dozen times before Damon, he is not unprepared this time.]

Must be in your land that a boy does not become a man grown until some twenty years, but that's not so where I'm from, nor here either. [Medieval-ish settings unite!] It is what it is: I'm scarcely a child, and I don't swing a sword like one. [So there!!!]

[withbite]

You don't swing your other sword, though. That's a shame. Throwing babies into war and not even letting them enjoy their lives first.

[He sighed dramatically, like he actually felt sorry for him. Damon had come from his own time of throwing children to war. He knew how it was. Didn't make it any better.]

[baseborne]

[Alright, Jon's a little unprepared. He reddens a little, and pushes past it because he is a hot mess when he gets flustered and he knows it.]

I volunteered. [Because he's a big dumb.] And whatever you offer, I still think it's madness to offer a man your blood to consume.

[withbite]

Why? Humans eat meat. I eat meat. I just need a little extra to keep myself running. Kind of the nature of being a vampire. Of course, if you'd rather I run around just feeding and killing instead of asking for donors, well, hey...

[baseborne]

Aye, but animals aren't like to offer themselves up as a meal, are they? [Wait a minute... HUFF.] I didn't say that!

[withbite]

Animals are stupid and eat their own shit. I'm not asking for someone to cut off an arm. Just... let me open a vein for a moment and they can go on their merry little way.

[The grin didn't slip at all.]

Ah ah, but you implied it.

[baseborne]

Or some servant who's got no choice.

[Jon wrinkles his nose.] I didn't. [Beat. He sorta did tho, didn't he?] --mean to.

[withbite]

True. A servant, a guard, a baker or candlestick maker, I don't really care. You need food to survive, I need blood. Can't expect me to starve myself because my diet doesn't suit your own.

[Smiles. Had he gotten under his skin? He hoped so.]

[baseborne]

[Yes but shut up omg.]

Why not some animal's? Leeches seem to treat it all the same.

[withbite]

Because I'm not my brother. Animal blood will keep you alive, sure, but it makes vampires weaker. Take two vampires made at the same time and feed one animal blood and the other human blood and the human munching vamp will kick the vegetarian one's ass every time. We're made to drink human blood. It gives us our abilities. I'm not going to go on a diet and compromise myself because some people have an issue with it.

P.S.? I'm not a leech.
