It'd certainly give everything more of a nighttime-television feel.

[noms some more ice cream.] The trick's just to use what's already there.

Closer to two and a half years.

[he thinks on this for a moment, since it's kind of complicated.]

Not at the moment. My world can wait. There's nothing interesting going on there right now anyway.

Something like that.

The people, definitely.

[he looks back out over the castle grounds.]

Vampires are interesting from a human perspective, but when you've been one of them for eight-hundred years, you realize that the lot of them are usually bores or trash not worth your time. But here, there are all sorts of interesting people.

Sometimes the powers-that-be will put on a good show, too. Those aren't bad.

Hm?

[he has to think about that for a while. he's met a lot of people.]

There were a lot of interesting people around during the Renaissance. Here, I've met robots and aliens and a number of powerful beings beyond anything I would have previously thought possible... At the time, however, I think my Sire was the most interesting.

[what is with Carrie and making him think? though he comes to this conclusion fairly quickly.]

Not tonight. Some other time, perhaps.

What? That seems like a poor excuse.

[...a quick headpat.]

Maybe another time for that too, then.

[oh. oops.]

Definitely another time, then.

You forgot someone important?

Harsh.

[he's good at this. can you tell?]
