If you want to test my patience, that's on you. Either way, I won't be that subtle.

The country of Wallachia.
From what I understand, I'm from a different time than most people. A few centuries in the past.

[starmark]

i don't know where that is

[In his head, he's sounding it out as "wah-lah-CHEE-ah" and that's not helping.]

what body of water is it close to

[reposing]

South of Transylvania, and the Black Sea is to the east. To the south is the Ottoman Empire.

[starmark]

...

you're a vampire from transylvania and people call you the opposite of dracula

are you shitting me

[reposing]

Wallachia. Do you struggle to read suddenly?

In any case, worry not about Dracula. He is dead.

[starmark]

...

ok i'm not being sarcastic this is a real question
i mean it so don't give me shit about it

is dracula real

[reposing]

It is a fair question.
Foolishly, there were even humans in our country that doubted his existence.

But yes. He was. I can confirm that as true.

[starmark]

i thought people just called you that as like
i don't know
the opposite of an idea or something
a vampire who's not like the kind of vampire dracula supposedly is

i didn't know there was an actual dracula
i mean actual vampire dracula

i guess that must have made it hard for you
being a vampire in a place where dracula also was

[reposing]

It is not a moniker I consider the most pleasing, but it is what I am now.

You would be correct. It's a difficult thing. More than you could ever imagine.

[starmark]

you're on some new planet in outer space where nobody knows your name unless you tell them

nothing says you have to be alucard
you can be anybody you want to be

but
i guess some things don't change no matter where you go huh

people are always going to think things about who you are
what you are
decide things about you

i know wh






why are you still talking to me

why haven't you told me to go away

[reposing]

I know what I am. Who I am.
That is more for me than the benefit of others.

What reason would I have to tell you go away?
You speak to me like a person. And your questions seem a matter of curiosity than being irritating. Why would I not interact?
If you want to stop talking to me, then that's up to you.

[starmark]

i don't want to stop talking

i don't have anyone to talk to

[reposing]

Then we are in a similar position, you and I.
Shall we keep each other company through the night?

[starmark]

ok
i mean when you put it like that it sounds kind of
weird i guess

but i figured you would be awake
when i called i mean
because vampires are awake at night right

i'm supposed to be asleep but i don't want to do that either

[reposing]

Weird in what way?

It depends.
I could sleep if I wish. It's not as if daylight bothers me in particular. But I would rather not sleep until I obtain a proper coffin.

What keeps you up, hunter?
The vampire you were forced to slay?

[starmark]

dunno
it sounded like something that
it's stupid
it sounded like something that a guy from one of my mom's tv shows would say

a tv show is like a movie but shorter
mom watches these really shitty ones with bad writing and worse acting
but she likes them because they're
uh
people fall in love in them a lot

look just forget it i told you it was weird


do you ever feel like
like you saw something, or did something
and it kind of got stuck in your head

you see it every time you close your eyes

[reposing]

Perhaps it's simply from the era I come from.

[no it's because he's a dramatic bitch]

Yes.
I know this experience too well.

Would you like to talk about it?

[starmark]

[let's keep each other company ~~~through the night~~~ oooh mr vampire oooh]

not really

[Yes.]

have you ever seen the night sky in the desert
in the sahara
the desert on the continent south and to the west of you

[reposing]

Then know that no offense is taken.
I know we are barely more than strangers.

Yes.
I've been to the desert a few times.
At night, the sky is crisp and clear, nothing blocking the stars.
The air is cold, more unforgiving for humans than for vampires. But I can feel it anyway.

[starmark]

we spent a couple nights in the desert
my...hunter group

i remember it felt like the campfire was the only thing holding the darkness back
i was smoking and the tip of it looked like a firefly
red and dark orange like an ember
it'd get brighter and dimmer when i took a drag

there were so many stars
and not just like they do in paintings, kind of spread out and even

they were just everywhere and there was no pattern and the sky was so big

i can remember it so clearly
and i keep telling myself that's what i'll see when i close my eyes

but it isn't

[reposing]

You want to remember something better. Fonder.
Days under the stars with your companions.

The vampire you fought.
It must have taken quite a toll on you.

[starmark]

i don't like the desert anymore
it's too empty
but it was okay when we were all there

don't die alone

i almost died alone

don't fucking go off somewhere and just wait to die where no one c
you're so fucking stupid

don't die

[reposing]

Why do you care?

1/2

[starmark]

i don't know





just forget it

do what you want

i have to


i'll be back

[starmark]

[Tick tick tick tick tick tick tick tick about ten minutes goes by before a new message finally lights up again.]

why were you in the desert?
the times that you went
why did you go
