Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Puppy eh?


"Good girl... now I'm sorry, I don't have a biscuit or else I'd give it to you." D'Artigo chuckles. Sometimes, having a reputation was good. Sometimes, finding things to do without using your reputation was better.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: You mock me again?


"Shifting seems like an... interesting sensation. Just an odd concept. Natural law and all that."

"And don't mock me again. You know what it's like to displease me. My throat is usually dry." Though said in a serious tone, his exposed eye shows no sign of anger. Amusement, however, is obvious.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Teeth eh?


"Oh no. Teeth. Whatever shall I do." D'Artigo's tone was completely lazy, and unworried. He knew that his teeth, while less numerous, were more deadly. "Seriously though, this isn't bad. Nor is it bad when you're in humanoid form. But when you're between the two, or shifting between them all the time... it just gets weird."

"Um... let's see..." D'Artigo stared at her twitching tail. She still looked human for blood's sake. How could he...

"Let me tell you what. How about... no."

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Urgh.


"You see, that is disturbing. Half-dog? Those kinds of things shouldn't really happen... I just think that there are animals and humanoids... some are pets, some are sentient. Don't mix the two."

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: That sounds disgusting?


"Oh, we're the disgusting ones now, are we? You mutate your bodies to take an animal's shape, and hunt eating raw meat. That is disgusting."

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Oh, of course.


''Every vampire can identify someone by matching the taste of their skin to the taste of their blood. It's got to do with the sensitivity of our tongues, and palettes. The separation is sometimes difficult, but we figure it out eventually."

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Mmm...


"Mmm..." D'Artigo's eyes close, and he takes a deep breath in. "Such a delicious taste... for the most part. You taste like... oh how can one describe it? Humans have the taste of sickly sweet honey... that is easy to describe. Most Lycans carry a bitter taste, but that may be simply because they're pure Lycan, and you are not. Hmm... what can I describe it as..." D'Artigo muses under his breath, debating with himself. Finally, he comes to a conclusion.

"Well... you might say that it's a bit like fresh bread, straight from the oven. But with honey drizzled all over it, as well as the tang of some under ripe fruits... but when you mix them all together, it also contains the ever present bold taste of blood... which is much like water, only with the occasional standout flavour... I must say, it is a rather interesting taste..."

Opening his eyes again, D'Artigo looks at her. "Is that the kind of answer you were looking for? Or did you mean just the skin?"

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 06:53:26.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: As usual.


"What else is new? And, as always, I have an answer. It might not be the one you like hear, but I have an answer."

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 06:45:57.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: So it's true.


"And I thought that just a while ago you were obsessing over how much prettier you were compared to my dashing good looks. Now you deny yourself that?"

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 06:41:51.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Must you deny yourself.


"Mmm, yes." D'Artigo says, as though he's enjoying a delicious snack, not carrying on a conversation. "The four of you are quite pretty."

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 06:36:53.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Regret?


"Hah. Regret? I don't know. That seems like a pretty powerful assumption. After all, it's every man's dream to travel alone with many pretty women."

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 06:31:37.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: After what exactly.


"What journey are we even on? I've never heard of any conquest that we have planned, or battle to fight. Are you just here as friends?"

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 05:49:47.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: I know.


"Believe me, the feeling mutual Lyca. And not just with you, but with Kitten and Pale Rose as well. Nothing's been simple since you and your friends showed up."

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 05:44:14.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Oh.


"Well, that is true perhaps. If I had no heart, you'd be dead. Or is it that if I had a heart, I would've killed you, to not make you live with the memory?"

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 05:40:14.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Oh yeah?


"And what do you mean by that now? That you're an example of me not having a heart?"

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 05:36:57.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Ugh.


"Okay, now you merely ridicule me. I don't believe it. After all this, you still ridicule me. Don't try the eye thing, it doesn't work on me. After all, I think you said it yourself, I have no heart."

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 05:33:54.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Hey!


"Oh, now was that really necessary? You know that I possess all of the aforementioned traits, and yet you still deny me the acknowledgement. That hurts, it really does."

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 05:30:27.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Haha, took you long enough.


"Well, they were going to make more of me, but I broke the mold. I'm too special for there to be more than one of me. I mean, it's not very often you get cunning intellect, stunning looks, and a loving personality all rolled into one, is it?"

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 05:27:40.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Wow. Good guess.


"Not to me you're not. So I refuse yo call you by such a term. It's a hit to the pride to be treated like a slave."

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 05:24:59.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Yeah. Right.


D'Artigo bursts out laughing at the hilarity of her comment. "Lyca, 'you' or 'girl'? That would be incredibly harsh. That would be how a slave might be treated. To my knowledge, you're not a slave, are you?"

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 05:20:44.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: quite the contrary.


"Ah, but it does. You see, I am quite a few people acquaintance. So, the fewer names I have to remember, the easier it is for me to remember them.

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 05:16:02.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Haha.


"And I do wish you wouldn't think that your name would need to change since your form has. I don't believe there's a need in that one bit." D'Artigo shrugged. "Sure, maybe your nickname needed to change, but your real name? I don't see why it should."

Posted on 2009-01-25 at 05:12:22.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Yeah.


"The past is the past, but our scars remind us that our past is real, not something we can escape freely and leave behind. I live on that knowledge, and my experiences shaped who I became. I cannot ignore them, but I can choose how to act on them."

Returning the hug in a firm, protective, almost loving way. D'Artigo smiles beneath his mask. "One day, judgement will come for her. I will be the one to deliver it. Until then, I must live. Thank you, Erina, for your support."

Topic: Inheritance -- Epilogue
Subject: Regarding loot... and answers.


Well, having played many a roguish character before, I know how good it feels for first come first serve. A character can always tuck something away inside their cloak while nobody else is paying attention.

However, when I have tried this, my GM has always gotten me to make a Bluff check against everyone who didn't search, to determine if anyone else catches on to there being something you're not telling them.

Of course, this isn't my game, so I don't say it's a go or not, that's just a suggestion.

But for future reference, I agree with KoD... we may need to start working as a bit more of a team. Things tend to get nasty with a bunch of individualists running the show.


Also, to answer the questions as mentioned before.

Loot List

I would say by the corpse what they had. This gives those who searched the bodies (if this is how it's going) first choice of the body that they searched.

Quick or thorough search of bodies?

Well, I can tell you I'm not searching, but I would like it if the others did a thorough search. While they're searching (probably taking 20) I will go hunting, using the Survival skill, probably taking 20 as well.

Move, hide, leave, bury, or (other) bodies?

I myself would think that flesh is nice for a fire, and it would also save noise and trouble of chopping down the wood. I would say burn the bodies, so that we can cook on it.

Camp or continue?

Camp. Definitely. I'll take a share of the watch. Oh, and Admiral, if you can hook me up with some water, I can make a stew for us.

Divvy-up now or later?

definitely now.
