I know bitching doesn't change anything, but I have to say, I am really sick of this place. Especially with all the shit whoever's in charge throws at us. It'd be nice if we could get a vacation from the UUS Deathtrap, but if we ever actually DID get one, we'd probably end up just as fucked as we are on board. Unfortunately, some of us don't have the luxury of hoping we get sent back home.

Which begs the (incredibly personal, I know, so don't feel obligated to answer) question: how many of us on board are dead back home?

[ She almost argues that he does because there are certain people who would - have - kept that wrapped up nice and tightly. (Dean's situation was completely different, sure, but it's still a sore subject for her, even if she's... kind of on okay terms with him now.) Instead, though, she focuses on the other part of what he said. ]

Why does it come up a lot? Or do you mean it comes up when you're snacking on someone? Like, "Oh, yeah, I forgot you tell you; I'm a vampire and you're dinner."

[ now that he takes serious offense to. it takes him a few seconds to get past his rather pissed off reaction before he swallows it back and exhales. he knows he deserves it to a certain extent - he's a vampire after all - but that doesn't make him any less bothered by it. ]

You might want to ask the last time a vampire's actually bitten someone before assuming they do it on a regular basis.

[ October hesitates for a moment; she deserves that in response and grinds her teeth together for a moment. ]

You're right. [ Some have to be able to control themselves, right? Like the ones that ask for donations rather than just attacking people? ] Sorry. Vampires aren't exactly on the top of my favorite list, though.

[slipperysoul]

Are they on anyone's? [ Angel's not sure if that's a joke or not, but he's trying to relax after that particular comment - there's no reason to get unduly pissed off with someone who doesn't entirely get it. Or hasn't met every vampire on board.

Assumptions make an ass out of you and me but it's hard not to when murder is involved. ] I haven't bitten anyone on board. To clarify that one. Even if vampire's aren't your favorite, you still deserve to know if you're safe.

[gothchicklit]

I'm sure someone out there has a kink for 'em. [ Here, October will help try to add some levity to the conversation, even if she's not particularly thrilled about his confession.

It's that last part that has October hesitating again, throat clenching a little. That's been the biggest issue with all of this, honestly; she lost the sense of security she had before Dean attacked her, the feeling that she would be okay because she had friends here who had her back. Obviously it hasn't made her trust certain people any less, but it's made her wary. Worried, of course, that someday those she considers trustworthy and good could turn into something horrible and bloodthirsty. ]

Honestly, I don't think anyone's safe up here. But that's just part of being onboard this fucking thing.

[slipperysoul]

Anyone who doesn't feel exactly the same way hasn't been paying much attention.

[ it's not angel's place to ask why it is she hates vampires - dislikes, maybe. he wants to know as much as he doesn't, because it's probably the same reason anyone would dislike a vampire. and considering this ship, it's probably a hell of a lot more personal. which is why it's none of his business and he sidesteps around it as much as he can. as much as he's willing to, at least. ]

[gothchicklit]

No shit.

[ Out of everything, that's probably something October won't talk about with a stranger. Her death is getting easier, but the attack and what's come from it? She doesn't really want to get into it, to relive it, especially since it would probably effect Dean in some way or another. She probably shouldn't give a shit what happens to him, but she does. ]

So, do I get your name now? Or should I just call you Lestat?

[slipperysoul]

Why do I have to be Lestat?

[ Why does he have to be anything from an Anne Rice novel, it's like against his religious code of conduct or something. He makes a face about it and then moves on with his life, grimacing only slightly because of everything that she managed to get wrong about who they are as... demons. Sleeping in coffins, c'mon now. ]

It's Angel.

[gothchicklit]

It was the first one that came to mind. [ Just be glad she isn't exactly aware of the Twilight saga, Angel, or you would've been Edward.

But she lets out a snort at his actual name. ] Is the irony intentional?
