voice; several days after the tasing incident

[sweetmotherofgod]

Listen, I shouldn't have zapped you. Call it PTSD or whatever, but last time a dude offered to walk me home it turned out nasty for the whole ship.

I'm not saying I expect you to be all 'okay, let's be friends'. I'm just saying I'm...

you know. Sorry.

[...]



Okay. Let's be friends.

[!!!]

That's a pretty charitable reaction to someone who fired a taser at you. I figure you're either something extra-strong or a masochist. Mind telling me which it is?

voice;

[staytofight]

Considering the woman I plan to be with is essentially a living taser when she feels like it, I'm far more prepared for being electrocuted than I ought to be.

[He gives pause. Well... Being electrocuted without hardly a response to it is pretty weird; the question now is--should he start being more open, where before he hardly ever was? Yes. Yes, perhaps. What's he to fear? Death? Being alone? He's been there, done that.

Sure, why not, he thinks. She knows he's something inherently bad, or at least bad to human standards. Hard to say if she's apologizing for the sake of having a clean conscience, or she truly thinks him someone to be befriended. Or both, most likely.]

Do you want to fathom a guess, or is that not so fun?

voice;

[sweetmotherofgod]

Well, apparently the last guy who tried that on me was a vampire.

I should probably mention I know a few people who are... a little left of normal. I'm not exactly standard issue myself. So I'm... I can be open-minded.

voice;

[staytofight]

... Not a bad guess.

[He smiles a little, hidden behind the voice function, leaning into his knuckles. This is interesting... Telling a human anything about himself is just interesting.]

250 years ago, I was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Born and raised in New England—before we got our independence. I guess now you'd call it Vermont.

I'd been turned by a vampire out on the field, when my troop was ambushed.

[A pause.]

Centuries later... well, here I am.

[flattest

voice

ever.]

You're a vampire too. Does my blood smell of cheeseburgers or something?

[Heather don't say that's cool though people who were actually in wars tend not to think they were awesome think of something else to say that doesn't make you sound like a douchebag]

Crushed velvet jokes and bed hair aside, you're looking pretty spry for 250.

[yes good that wasn't dumb at all. Hear that sound, Garrett? That is an actual facepalm on the other end of the line.]

voice;

[staytofight]

...

I guess I'm pretty spry, sure.

[Hear that, Heather? He's judging you in the most friendliest way.]

I guess now that I'm not a nomad and I actually have a room to keep things, I could invest in a decent brush.

...

And sorry to disappoint, but cheeseburgers? They smell godawful. And they're just so bad for you, to boot.

[see: vampire telling you what eating habits are poor]

nvm voice. backdated to idk the 13th or something

[tofindthesun]

Master Garrett. Security would like to inspect our party and preparations before we leave.

voice

[staytofight]

That so? I figured they would, with how that grinchy fella grumbled on the network.

Edgeworth, was it?

I wouldn't mind stopping by their place for a little chat.

voice

[tofindthesun]

Safety precautions. I do not blame them for it, but it is.. rather tedious. [and somewhat unnecessary, if not for the fact that he has no idea what half of the stuff the others might be packing is.]

Not too long a chat, I hope. I am not sure he enjoys company while busy.

voice

[staytofight]

That's a plus, at least.

Is there anything in particular you'd like me to bring on that note? I'm very low maintenance, so any food or water you'll all need, I can carry.

voice

[tofindthesun]

Food and water would be beneficial. Torches as well, to light the way. [for whatever up-to-date equivalent is lying about.]

I would expect each to bring their own bedding, if they require it, but if it is not much of a burden, perhaps an extra blanket. The heat generators were disabled several months ago, and though I have no evidence to believe it, we may encounter similar changes in temperature during our excursion.

[better to be safe than sorry, basically.]

voice

[staytofight]

Whatever you need, I can help. I don't need to sleep or eat--nor do I need light, so anything at all won't be any trouble. I have plenty of room on my back.

voice

[tofindthesun]

..How very convenient. [and.. strange. but convenient nonetheless.] But I do not think we need bring much more than basic necessities, be they according to my definition or another's.

I will see you there, then.

voice

[staytofight]

I'll bring what counts--and I'll see you there.

[This should be fuuuuun.]
