t w o . ( TEXT ) . we stood up, we stood up

General Notice:

I'm looking for people with powers to run some tests on. It involves being observed using your abilities, but that's it. Can't exactly give you much for it, unless you need an alarm system.

First wave of testing will take place in a week near the colosseum. There may be second or third waves in future. Testing is expected to take several hours overall.

Any questions?

( it should be, if it isn't already. )

A lot of stories say as much. Along with aversions to crucifixes, the sun and needing to sleep in coffins.

( chili pepper? really? )

Huh. That's different to what I heard. The sun thing, yeah, but I always heard they slept like bats.

Really?

( that's interesting. )

yeah.

... Maybe it was 'in bat form'. Can't really remember.

( well that makes more sense than trying to picture a human-shaped thing hanging upside down from prehensile toes, or something equally strange. )

But now I'm thinking about vaguely-humanoid things hanging upside down by their toes.

It's an interesting mental image.

[ way less entertaining tho. ]

Thry keep all their strength in their big toe. You don't want to be kicked by one.

[ that's... Supposed to be funny. ]

( way, way less.

and she wouldn't know it, but he totally just chuckled. sincerely. )

Maybe somewhere along the line they got crossed with some kangaroo DNA - that would make them even more deadly.

( sam ... no ... )

[ sam yes. ]

... Would they hop like kangaroos?

( sam no. )

That wouldn't be very threatening, would it?

But ... maybe.

[ Hadriel is screwed. The power of two terrible senses of humour will destroy it. ]

Quicker than walking and easier than turning into a bat at least.

( don't let the gods get wind of this. one of them is sure to attempt to recruit them. and then it really will be over. )

But turning into a bat would have to be the best part of being a vamp. I mean, what's so great about having to drink blood for the rest of your life?

( do we need to go back and talk about your demon blood addiction. do we. )

[ I MEAN- ]

You don't think transforming looks painful?

Maybe it's one of those things that you just get used to the more you do it?

( that makes sense, right? )

Suppose it might be. [ Although she can't imagine how. Shapeshifting always looked awkward as fuck. ]

( in his experience, shapeshifting is just downright gross. in the case of actual shapeshifters. for things like werewolves ... eh. maybe just painful. )

Maybe we just can't understand because we've never experienced something like that.

( he's not wrong, but way to get all philosophical, sam. sheesh. )

[ even turning body parts to stone looks unpleasant back home. The shapeshifting is worse. ]

Could be the case. [ Jeez could you sound more like you're supposed to be in a bar at 3am right now? ] Think I'll stick with not knowing.

( maybe they'll just have to have a similar conversation in a bar at 3am in the future. maybe. )

Ignorance is bliss, they say.

( you little shit. )

They're not wrong. Makes life easier at least. [ god did it make life easier. She misses not thinking about her actions or orders, sometimrs. ]

( not thinking about actions. heh, when was the last time he got to get away with something like that? )

As easy as anything can be, I guess. Nothing's ever going to be as easy as you want it.

True enough. [ she definitely subscribes to that newsletter. If things were easy, there was generally something you've missed somewhere. ]
