001: Group Introductions - TEXT

[tarnishedavenger]

[During a lull in the party, Armstrong taps out a quick message to the network. Not that private one, he doesn't trust it. They can answer whenever they like, so long as he gets an answer. The trick would be wording it.]

So, we're all in this for now. You've had your welcome cake, but you can't meet everyone in a party, no matter how hard you try. But, since we've all been encouraged to sign up with Jorgmund, I figured now would be a good time to get some introductions done. Talk about any specialties we might have.

Share information that we feel comfortable sharing. This isn't to pressure anyone or to force out any dark secrets.

[Not where watchful eyes can see, at least.]

Besides, I prefer doing this to making a cute information sharing game.

So, please, make your own threads within this post to keep everything organized.

yeah we were kinda using rat blood a lot. and horse blood. and like... shit's rank but it's not people.

is stoker a vampirologist?

[ Kevin Ingstrom: a C student at best in English. He's thinking about talking to Armstrong about vampirologists a bit ago. ]

I'm pretty sure there's a rule of irony that concerns a vampire not knowing who Bram Stoker is.

[Really. That's just hilarious.]

He wrote Dracula. If that helps.

ohhhh dude okay i get that.

gonna be honest here i am not much of a books guy, i am more of a skateboard guy. like three of my friends are way more into that kind of stuff than me.

also apparently dracula's a real dude, who knew.

[fromfryingpantofire]

I don't think that he did in my world. Or maybe he did and used the book as a cover for what sorts of things vampires back home are actually bothered by. Like, religion? Yeah, they really don't give a shit back home at all.

[likeits1999]

yeah i think he got vampire famous but being vampire famous is illegal so he just kinda went under that radar for however long it was. i think he's dead now tho.

the religion thing kinda depends because i think if you believe in god hard enough it does magic.

[fromfryingpantofire]

Getting famous or infamous in any way is pretty dangerous. It means you end up with people coming after you for various reasons. Especially in circles where 'I killed so-and-so' nets you some cachet or name recognition.

Religion works against certain things back home. Demons especially. I'm very good at making holy water these days. But the one true believer I ever knew kept a shotgun with rock salt and silver shells as well.

also alive people knowing about vampire stuff is just a real bad scene pretty much anytime.

[ He writes cheerfully, to an alive person. ]

idk a whole lot about it except for i am pretty sure god is a real thing, also i met some ghosts.

thanks for being cool btw because a lot of the ghost meeting and talking about god had to do with these hunters that tried to light us on fire a couple different times. speaking of real bad scenes.

[fromfryingpantofire]

I've met plenty of angels. God's real. Just an absentee parent.

[This Sam is from WELL before actually finding out that Chuck is God. Or he'd be able to say that he's met God, too.]

I also know plenty of hunters that would have done that. And more than a few hunters who have tried to set me and my brother on fire, too. Pretty sure that, sometimes, the regular humans are more monsterous than the so-called 'monsters'.

[likeits1999]

oh that sounds pretty right.

and i mean all the monsters i have ever dealt with were people. except like two but they were people to start with once, i think they stopped so long ago that it doesn't matter anymore probably.

wow this got mad depressing. anyway i promise talking to me is not usually heavy there's just been a lot lately.

[fromfryingpantofire]

I have no problem taking out the ones that are actually dangerous to the people around them. Sometimes there's nothing that can be done. Ghosts and the like can't help it, but they need to move on. The werewolves back home? Also can't help what they do. It's not in their control. But three murders a month, at least, adds up and gets people suspicious. Some creatures just want to live under the radar and that's fine. If they aren't actually killing or causing harm to the people around them, that's one thing.

Yeah, well. My brother and I have made a name for ourselves. All goes back to the whole fame/infamy thing. When you get known, it makes problems.

And I get it. It's been like that back home, too.
