sounds like it'd generate a lot of echoes but that also sounds strangely enjoyable
i've spent enough of my three centuries in austria, i really don't need to clock in any more hours. maman will make me go back soon enough, i'm not jumping at the bit to go back on my own.
don't you get tired of the same old haunts? there's so much more of the world to see than eastern europe.
I mean, yes. Look, I'm only going off what the scorecard used to be, not experience in this particular instance.
That's fair enough, and crossing is harder when you're limited to evening hours. I spoke out of turn on that much.
Security issues with the castle and the Hold continue, even with modern technology being what it is. But I have been going to the far east every so often.
i remember something about black cats being nearby but i always figured that one was a given with me
( since she can turn into a giant cat demon. it's a two for one. )
i'm going to give you some credit and assume you mean asia and not just even further into eastern europe. i'm glad i don't have some ancestral home to babysit, sounds boring.
come on, there's got to be somewhere you've always wanted to visit. make the most of your afterlife and get out a little
Honestly I think that's a new addition anyway. Didn't really start until the early modern witch hunts.
[That is not new addition.]
Yes, Asia, my God do you think I'm that much of a shut in? The baths are a welcome means of relaxation. Especially since what the Ottomans brought is harder and harder to find.
I need to spend more time in the Americas.
And technically, it's still my normal life. Human parent and all.
explains the low points, the legacy items are such overkill. some of us are happy to get out of the 16th century
you don't make a compelling case for yourself, sweetheart. but actual asia, that's more like it. singapore is delightful and japan is beautiful, especially in the spring.
america is uncultured and brash, but that's part of it's limited charm
all the more reason not to waste it in a sad old house, if you ask me
I tend to travel in the autumn. Less people and I generally like the weather more. I'll consider spring the next time I head in that direction. I'm due in Italy next week to pick up a few items I had to send out to a specialty preservationist.
How limited would you say it is?
The house and the Hold have a lot of sentiment. I can't help my nature.
i'm bored of my undead life, but not that bored... if i ever start putting together a draft put me out of my misery
i'm surprised you haven't given iceland a try. if you go at the right part of the year, there's only a few hours of sunlight.
eh. the self obsessed capitalism gets old fast. food is a little fatty but fine if you wanna hate yourself after, and i can't even digest calories. but in small doses it's fine
just a homebody at heart, huh? eh, can't relate, but then again casa de karnstein was razed in the 1820s
Hm. It isn't that far, is it? Perhaps as a weekend trip. The hardest part is getting to the airport.
Being able to eat properly is one of the true blessings of being a dhampir over being full blooded. That and standing garlic. Maybe I'll consider Brazil and it's rainforest instead of going to North America. A very different environment to experience.
It's harder to be a homebody if there's no home. But this is where a lot of good memories live.
( this might sound like a refusal, but in fact since she didn't actually refuse, she might at least look a goth sex bingo card over if he finishes it. she's just a whiner, it is known. )
it's worth a weekend. pretty in summer, but i don't suggest going then. i'm only mildly sensitive to sun and i still nearly combusted
can't relate to that either. my homelife was shitty even before i got stabbed at my birthday ball. but it's good to know not all of us are tragic cliches with sad childhoods
that's fine but equally unlikely to keep me from complaining. i've gotten good at it in three centuries, i can't stop now. i'm on a roll
maybe a holy water margarita, can you imagine? what a story that one would be, but no. stabbings. it's not mixing it up to switch between crucifixes and stakes
Talk to me about it in two more centuries, I think.
Oh, Holy Water as a mixer is smart, don't let anyone hear you say that. And ugh, it really isn't. Besides, think about it. A stake through the heart kills anyone, not just vampires.
you're not trying to old man me into appreciating what i have, are you, because at 320 something i think i've earned curmudgeon status
at least it'd be an interesting way to be slayed. i'd take that over my 16th stabbing any day. the only thing we have up on humans is we can usually handle more than one

--Really, your sun sensitivity is mild? How long can you manage?
No, no. The tragic cliche starts with being an adult in my case and my father trying to destroy all of Wallachia.
The cliche always seems to involve stabbing though.
no subject
you get the benefits of being half human, seems only fair you get stuck with the worst of our cliches
god, i know. why can't we have a dramatic poisoning or something
no subject
Mm. I want to argue that point but I really, really don't think I can't.
It would be nice! I mean, poison wouldn't take unless it was silver or something introduced to our stomachs, but no. Stabbings.

It's all about angles with the stabbings, really.

i got stabbed by a blade rubbed in garlic once. that's as close to a unique stabbing as i've gotten
