[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.]

Comments

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.

[gordianknots]

It is all rather ridiculous, I agree. But at any rate - could you please give me a heads up whenever you change back? I'd like to anticipate when the same might happen for myself.

[withbite]

I think I could find myself capable of doing that. Name?

[gordianknots]

El-Melloi II. Mr Jack Frost's taken to shortening it to Elmie.

[withbite]

Mel would work too. Or just Pork Pie, considering your current status.

[gordianknots]

Definitely not Pork Pie. But Mel would be a nice short cut that I'm going to shamelessly steal, thank you.

[withbite]

Oh, I'm calling you Pork Pie. And Prickles. And Spike. It's just happening.

[gordianknots]

Fine, but I want your name in return.

[The more one protests a nickname, the more it sticks after all.]

[withbite]

Damon Salvatore.

[Wouldn't help either way. Damon just preferred nicknames. That way he didn't have to worry about remembering actual names and it was dissociative for when they inevitably died.]

[gordianknots]

Well, Bats, let me know the minute you shed your form and I'll give you even more time to come up with ridiculous nicknames.

[withbite]

[Yeah, he knew that was coming, but now Waver just sounded like a bad comic book villain. Why so serious, Waver?]

Oh, I've got nothing but time right now, Bristles.
