[Have a picture of this looking in the locket, Drabwurld.]



Things they don't tell you; participating in their little fun-time hunty quests could get you turned into a goddamn bat. These are things you might want to clarify beforehand.

[Oh look, the bat's talking. Hi, talking bat. If a bat could look grumpy and pissed off, this one was making a valiant attempt to achieve that goal. The voice might be somewhat familiar to anyone who'd talked to a certain vampire before.]

If this is permanent, I swear to god I will shit in everything edible until it's fixed. This isn't exactly the way to get your 'subjects' to play nice. I would have happily ripped the damn thing's head off, but someone forgot to tell me to be careful that it would use some kind of deer magic to turn me into... this. Someone fix this.

[He was trying so hard to scowl. Really. But bats just don't have eyebrows.]

[withbite]

Hope your 'roommates' don't have dogs. Or cats.

[Or weird immortal cat people that wouldn't care about having a hedgehog passing through their digestive tracts.]

[gordianknots]

If they do, they're very new additions to the place that I haven't had a chance to meet yet and I really hope I smell more human than animal to them.

[withbite]

Don't bet on it. You'll just smell like a human-handled bite-sized snack.

[gordianknots]

The only advantage is that the spikes might stick someone's mouth, I'm afraid.

[withbite]

I'm sure someone can figure it out if they want. Hedgehogs get eaten by something.

[gordianknots]

Well, if I do get eaten, I'll be sure to locket you first and let you know who can avoid the spikes. They might come after bats next.

[withbite]

Consider me so very grateful.

[This entire conversation was swimming in sarcasm and he was actually amused by it.]

[gordianknots]

[Sarcasm is a vital part of keeping the Drabwurld running, really.]

Oh, I'd be hurt if you weren't.

Er, probably more hurt than being digested.

[withbite]

[Preach, brother in sarcasm.]

See, now you're making me think of those frat boys that swallow live goldfish.

[gordianknots]

Oh good lord, I could have gone my whole life without knowing that there were American university students doing that.

[withbite]

Sadly, I think it expands beyond Americans, though they're probably the front runners for strange, messed up things they put in their bodies.

[gordianknots]

I like to pretend that my own students wouldn't be that foolish and ridiculous.

[withbite]

That depends. Where are you from?

[gordianknots]

England, round about 2014. I'm a university professor.

[withbite]

Just a bit ahead of me. There's a lot more questionably homosexual behavior going on with English frat boys, but frat boys are pretty much the same the world over.

[gordianknots]

How much far ahead, if you don't mind my asking?

I remain grateful that my institution is so tiny that there's no real place for fraternities, then. And hope that there's no poor goldfish undergoing experimentation as we speak.

[withbite]

It's 2010 where I am.

[Or there abouts (the tvd timeline is so tricky)]

You might have to be prepared for disappointment.

[gordianknots]

Ah, not as bad as some people here then.

[He sighs, mock-put-upon.]

At least I won't be surprised.

[withbite]

You've noticed the whole medieval theme too, mm?

[gordianknots]

Kind of hard not to. I've never missed a modern kitchen so bad, even though I can't cook for shit.

[withbite]

I never understood people who can't cook. Not wanting to, yeah, I get that, but not being able to? Have you seen some of the cooks on the food network? It's not rocket science.

[gordianknots]

I've managed to get soup on my ceiling before. When I say I cannot cook, that's sort of what I mean. The number of mistakes made put the lives of everyone in danger.

[withbite]

... I actually find that quite impressive.

[Said that furry little bat.]

[gordianknots]

It's a feat, I'll agree. Just sort of a train wreckish one.

[withbite]

I'd say take some lessons, but frankly, I don't really care.
