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

[reposing]

You're an odd one.

I went because I was encouraged to explore the world. I enjoyed exploring, painting what I encountered. Studying history, architecture, other cultures.

[starmark]

do you
did you learn all the local customs and shit

so that when you go places you could fit in

like how to tell somebody at a restaurant that you want more tea just by moving the teapot around

[reposing]

Whenever I could. I would often have tutors in each area to help me understand basic customs.
But yes. Things like that.

[starmark]

oh great
so you're that kind of guy

i bet you're a show-off too

is that what you're gonna do here
figure out all the local customs

[reposing]

How hard could that be, learning how to touch people and be close to them?
Oh, and the obsession with moons.

[starmark]

dunno
but if you figure out how to be good at it
tell me your secrets i guess

apparently everybody gets one
a moon

which one do you think you're going to get

[reposing]

I suspect it's going to be one I hate.
Which is going to be any of them, I suppose.
I'm not used to abiding by to such magic rules that are unknown to me.

[starmark]

do you not know how a game works

[reposing]

That depends on the game?

[starmark]

i said which one do you think you're going to get

you said probably any of them

well no fucking shit
