✿3 [Action]

*It's late dusk, and there is a certain young-looking gothic lolita sitting at a table outside of Building 6, slowly sipping a cup of tea and flipping through a book.

If you pass by, you may get the very distinct sense that she is horribly judging you.*

(ooc: Geez, lots of people! And they probably all hate Rachel now. I'm going to bed, will resume tagging tomorrow!)

But it is unwise to care to learn nothing about another in this world who might be a potential threat. Or, in your case, an amusement.

Am I? I see no reason to confirm or deny that statement either way.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

The dead cannot be threatened.

I have mentioned that I don't really care, haven't I?

[redstringed]

Oh? I thought I smelled a corpse.

Perhaps, perhaps not. Arrogance and hubris go hand in hand.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She ignores that jab.] What you smell is stone.

They've never let me down before.

[redstringed]

Is there not a first time for everything?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Perhaps, but this is not that time.

[redstringed]

We seldom recognize the time when it is upon us.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs.] They will still do no harm to someone who is dead.

[redstringed]

You are remarkably lively for a carcass.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Ever heard of the term "undead?"

[redstringed]

Certainly. My point stands.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

It doesn't. I'm not a carcass.

[redstringed]

You yourself claim to be dead. Whether you are animated or no, it still renders you naught but a spry corpse.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[Fine, if she wants to get into the semantics of the matter-] A carcass is inanimate. You would be better off calling me a vampire, which is the proper term, really.

[redstringed]

*A flat look.* ...really.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Oh my, did I surprise the Great One?

[redstringed]

If you are what passes for a vampire in your world, than I am most glad that you are not one of my kin.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

I could have easily said the same of you, but you beat me to it. [Rose is not surprised that she's a vampire. She smells dead.]

[redstringed]

I suspect that will not be the first time that occurs.

And at least I am not a walking corpse. *Vampires in her world aren't dead! ...it's weird.*

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

[Oh, I didn't know that!]

You aren't? I thought you were a vampire.

[redstringed]

*Like I said, it's weird and never extrapolated on. As near as I can determine, they're just like... a race. But you can be turned into one. And become a half-vampire. IDK.* You thought correctly, for once. I am.

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Interesting. [Pause.] Well, you certainly have the arrogance and narcissism of one.

[lol look who's talking]

[redstringed]

And it is well-deserved, I assure you. *Yep.*
