Who: Requiem, a dog, and whoever.
Where: Hotel lobby
When: Day 84 afternoon

[ So at some point the live alert goes off, and Req is standing in the middle of the lobby with a puppy sitting at her feet(a big... fluffy puppy. It's like 60% fluff). It's wearing a size-appropriate black collar with !!!SPIKES!!! and like, a pentacle charm or whatever. ]

YO, NERDLORDS, LISTEN UP. IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT DOGS.

This is a public service announcement in the form of a monologue or whatever the heck! Anyway, it's dog talk time. Don't know what a dog is? This is a dog! It's GOOD and LOYAL and VERY SOFT and gives kisses and stuff, and making boof boof noises, but only because this one's a dumb baby and can't do big boofs yet. I had a poodle back home named Schwabl, he was RAD, and also possibly a zombie! This one's not a zombie. This is a normal flesh dog.

I know I said it's time to talk about dogs but what I meant was, I'm gonna talk about MY dog, and I guess by "mine" I mean "mine, but also Zrael's". Did I ask before I did this? No. Who's gonna tell me no, besides one jealous dog boy? Already worked that out! Moving on.

[ She lifts up the puppy up under the arms and raises him above her head, The Lion King-style. ]

EVERYONE. GAZE UPON OUR NEWEST FAMILY ADDITION, FOR HE IS PERFECTION. Meet Sir☆Ladyfingers, Dark Prince of ☆ZRAEL, and if ANY of you stains so much as look at him the wrong way I WILL personally come to your house and put sardines in all your shoes, thanks.

[ a long pause. ]

Also, I've got a confession to make. I've been able to pronounce ☆ this whole time.

[WOW]

Cool.

Yeah, I'm basically the coolest.

I guess I should ask you about drinking blood and killing people and stuff, too...

Uh...

I mostly eat red. Like, the color. And I can't make any promises but I'm not really interested in killing people.

Me neither. How do you eat a color?

Sorry, you must get this question a lot.

Nah, it's fine. I just bite it and drink the color out, that's all.

Oh, okay.

... does the thing go black and white, or beige, or...?

They go grey, mostly.

I've never heard of a vampire that drinks colors. But I'm sort of thinking... I might have some preconceived notions.

Nah, you're probably fine. I seem to be weird by vampire standards.

Vamps back home still ate humans, anyway.

Oh. So then Dahlia... is probably a regular vampire.

Yeah, she seems to be. I've been feeding her.

Thank you.

What do you think of her?

[ she's a monster and i'm prepared to murder her. ]

She's loud, but she seems pretty okay. At least, right now. Hopefully she doesn't start experimenting on people.

[that's fair]

Mm... hopefully...

Why? Something up?

...

I'm scared of her.

She's your unitmate. You don't think she'd hurt you, do you?

Probably not? I hope not. She hurt Iris, but Iris agreed to it. I don't want to be scared, but... I am.

Aw, geez, uh.

[ how do i... handle this with a near stranger ]

So-- you can tell her, can't you? And if she's decent she'll listen to you? Or if you're really worried, uh. Taisho does contracts...

I wouldn't want it to come to that. And I feel kind of dumb? She's just... being herself. She's figuring things out, like the rest of us. I'm probably being unreasonable.

[sighs. sits on the floor. pets dog.]

[ dog in lap now. ]

... maybe just keep an eye on her then. She seems to like you guys a lot, though, so...

[pet pet pet]

I'm glad for that. I should trust her more.

[pause]

... I didn't mean to go into all of that. Sorry.

Nah, it's okay. I'm uh.

I'm gonna make sure she stays in line. So don't worry.

... you're really responsible, huh.
