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


"I'm not going to lie. I held back. She is at this moment the only living person - Clarissa doesn't count. Neither does my sire. - she is the only person alive who has seen my face. I was tempted to kill her. I have nothing to gain by lying."

"I'm sure you have your own personal protections that may seem foolish to others. Everyone does."

Subject: Well.


"I fear this is my fault. It would seem as though Lyca dislikes you now becomes of your compassion towards me... how problematic."

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Ah. I'm relieved.


"That's good. I do wish I'd had the chance to say goodbye to her. But as you know, I was preoccupied."

"If you need supplies, then by all means, go for it. I've got enough."

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: So it would seem.


"So it seems." D'Artigo said, not looking at Ciridia, instead gazing around, looking for Clarissa. Sadly, she was nowhere in sight.

"What of my child Rose? Does she seem as though she'll be fine?"

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: She thought that, did she?


"Rose, Kitten hates me. She would do anything to put me into your distaste. That is simply her way. Did you find out if she even did a check of the body?"

"Your scare will not go away, but without something to remind you - which you will have as long as I am here - it will fade into something simpler, easier to cope with."

"And I'm not sure if I am supposed to answer that question. But I will anyway. Judging by your eyes, you were quite ready to try to kill me."

Silently bowing after Miv had turned away, D'Artigo follows.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Nothing. Just a bruise.


"Bruises heal Miv. Scars don't. Her face is purple because blood flow hasn't returned to normal yet. I give it three weeks. Then it will be fine. My life? That won't heal."

"If you don't let me near her, then I will watch from a distance. Miv, what did Kitten tell you? What did she say happened?"

Posted on 2009-01-20 at 01:51:36.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: Well, I knew this would happen.


"So she did get to you first... Well let's put it out bluntly then. I bit her because she grossly violated the rights which permit my existence on this planet."

"And scars? What scars? She'll have two pale dots and a bruise on her face. She won't know the meaning of scars."

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


D'Artigo headed back to town, hoping to catch a chance to say goodbye to Clarissa, see how Miv had done instructing her. He hoped she would be alright. Vampire's were subject to mood swings often... how often and how violent depended on the person. Well, hopefully Kitten hadn't gotten to Miv first. She always exaggerated. She didn't hear everything he had told Erina either... Kitten wouldn't understand. And if she had reached Miv first... neither would she. Well, at least he was well nourished now, and he would probably be stronger than Miv. But of course, he wouldn't bring it up first.

Seeing Miv b-lining it towards him, he couldn't help but curse. "Crap. Kitten did get to her... Well, let's see how this turns out..."

Calling out to her while she was still a good distance from him, he says "Pale Rose! How good to see you! Did you send Clarissa off? Does she seem like she'll be okay? Able to cope?" His tone is perfectly casual as if nothing had happened.

Those darn ninjas... we have them, but we can't select them because they're to... I dunno... Ninja-y.

Oh and em, your confidence about my moral disposition towards other players in the game is stunning.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: D'Artigo... won't kill you yet.


Raising his hand, he slaps her again. Hard. However, his voice has no hint of emotion in it anymore. "You little, insolent poor baby." Another slap. "You just don't get it do you? Killing is only short term... and if I raised you, you'd be here forever? I can't stand people like you." Again, a slap. "This mask was given to me by my sire. Do you know why she gave it to me? So that I could hide. Because she promised if she found me again, I would die. And before I died, I would re-live the night of how I died the first time." This time, a backhand. His hand was getting sore from how hard he was hitting her. "This mask is to remind me that I can always be worse. I could always be like her. A sick, murdering bitch. But no. I promised myself I'd be better than that." A second backhand. "You think you know what it's like to be through hard times, but you know nothing! Nothing! You got raped. Big deal. That happens to everyone. You're not special! It's what you do with your life, and how you plan to make this a better world that makes you different from the low life's that walk the earth. And right now, you're doing nothing!

Sinking his fangs into her neck, D'Artigo continues to talk. Though it's slightly harder to understand him, it's still possible. "I'm not going to drink you dry. You don't deserve that. Nor am I going to have sex with you. You don't deserve that either. No, I'm going to suck just enough blood from you that you'll be alive... barely. And while you're here, recovering from blood loss, think about you. Why people make foolish mistakes, and why we can't accept one's reasons for doing things. Think about today, how you almost died. About how I was nice enough to let you live."

Finishing his drink, D'Artigo stands up, looking at the twin holes in Lyca's neck, blood still dripping from them. Nudging her with his foot, making sure that she wasn't getting up soon. Forcefully grabbing her wrist, and taking his mask back from her hand, he fastens it back to his face. "Think. And remember. Next time... there is no halfway."

*is amazed at Admiral's awesome ninja skills.*

You know what, we need a ninja smiley face. That would make everything better.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: D'Artigo... is pissed.


For what seemed like a long time, D'Artigo just stood there, his face exposed, and his mouth open wide. He was in shock. Someone had just removed his mask. In a manner, which he had not pictured happening. His face, revealed, clearly showed the 28 scars lining his face. Looking down to Erina's hand, where the mask was, then back up at her. His expression began changing, from one of shock, to one of neutrality, then one of anger. Eyes, no longer help a blue hue, and they turned so red, the pupils were no longer visible, his eyes simply a dark crimson. His fangs - now for the first time visible - extended two inches out from under his lips. Hands coming forward from under his cloak, he speaks with an icy edge to his voice.

"Couldn't resist yourself, could you? You just had to walk into unknown territory, didn't you?" Walking forward quickly, D'Artigo raised his hand and slapped Erina directly in the face, knocking her down. Immediately after, he falls on her, pinning her to the ground. "You know, I could kill you, right here, right now. You just needed to see what was under the mask didn't you? Well look. Look at me! Scarred and brutalized! Scars that will never disappear! Scars of the past, of who I am! I will give you one chance to give that back to me, or you will regret it."

"I live on reputation. If I'm full of myself, it's because other people have convinced me that I deserve to be."

Subject: D'Artigo


Again, he laughed. "There you go. Now you understand why I was offended when I was accused of rape. It's not rape. I make sure that the women are willing first. I attract too much attention as it is, no need to become hated by everyone, not just the slayers."

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: D'Artigo


"You've thought about it?"

D'Artigo lets out a loud laugh. He truly found that funny. The one who had tried to kill him... twice, in fact... was enticed by his mysteriousness. He knew she would be. It was always just a matter of time.

"What have you thought about exactly Lyca? Me coming after you, or you coming after me?"

Subject: D'Artigo


"Rape? Such a heavy term. I would prefer to call it entice. Though to answer the question... the previous night at the witch's house was rather tempting. Why do you ask?"

Subject: D'Artigo


"So you speak my name? Interesting."

"For your question, if you compare yourself to me, yes, I believe you weaker than I. As a stand alone fighter, you would be much more deadly than many of the fiercest human veterans. Does that answer you?"

Posted on 2009-01-18 at 04:32:57.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: D'Artigo


"I plan to listen to what you said you would reveal to me if I followed you. Something about me underestimating you?"

Posted on 2009-01-18 at 04:30:39.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: D'Artigo


"You said follow. You never said how close."

Subject: D'Artigo


D'Artigo's eyes narrowed. Of course, only one was visible, but it was a good indication of what the rest of him was doing. She thought she could play the boss now, did she? She'll see... he'd follow, but silently, and right behind her... very close behind her.

Sneaking silently through the undergrowth and matching her stride for stride, D'Artigo stayed within a few inches of Lyca. Not needing to breathe had it's perks when you were sneaking.

"Underestimation is what got me killed, and reborn. I don't think I underestimate too many people any more. And what do you mean 'more ways than one' Lyca?"

Posted on 2009-01-18 at 04:19:24.

Topic: The Fall of Our Great Kingdom: Vampiric Tale
Subject: D'Artigo / Clarissa.


"Correction. I know you not very well in this form. But I know you you well enough. And I don't mean to insult you, and I hope it never comes to this, but I believe that you would stand no chance against me in a fight."

"Oh... well, that could be good as well, right? Cause I can tell you now, conversion's a pain... I didn't even know what I was doing until Rand came..."
