[There a click on, and the clear sound that someone is there, but there's a pause, like maybe someone is making sure.]

Is this broadcast going through?

I think I got it-

Hello, Tranquility, my name is Steve Rogers.

I'd like to be directed to whoever is in charge of Security, if that's not too much trouble. And I'd like to know if it's possible to see out into space. Are there any windows on board?

[Annnnd a pause, and a fumble.]

Is it off?

[And then another pause.]

Sorry, excuse me-

[And NOW it's off.]

You'll have to excuse me, I'm a little stuck on vampires.

Yeah, it's alright, it's a thing for some people, I understand. I promise I'm not scary, though. I drink synthetic blood and I don't want to hurt anyone. I understand if it's a bit much, though, it won't bother me if you'd rather I leave you alone now.

[ well, okay, it will bother her, but she won't hold it against him. ]

If you don't hurt people, Miss, then I have no reason to ask you to leave me alone.

private» pets you it's okay i have reading comprehension struggles too

[ex_heightens219]

I don't! [ ehhhhhh she should be honest. ] Well, I try not to. Sometimes people try to hurt the people I care about, and I do what I have to. But I would never hurt anyone who wasn't going to hurt anyone themselves.

[priceoffreedom]

Then I don't have any problems with you.

[ex_heightens219]

I'm glad. Is there anything you want to know? I can be your Vampire 101 professor, I think I'd be better at that than history.

How did you get...turned?

This feels a little impolite, and if it gets offensive, you tell me.

private» steve is the fucking cutest thing, worried about offending vampires

[ex_heightens219]

[ WOW going straight for the hard-hitting questions. you do not fuck around, steve. ]

I invited you to ask, it's not impolite! I was turned... Well, it's a really long story, to be perfectly honest, but the gist is, I had vampire blood in my system, I drowned, and then after I died, the vampire blood brought me back to life in transition. During the transition phase, I either had to drink human blood, or I would die. I chose door number one, and here I am.

private» :3

[priceoffreedom]

And here on the ship, the blood is synthetic?

private»

[ex_heightens219]

Yes! They can synthesize it in the medbay. It works just as well as human blood, so mostly I stick with that.

[priceoffreedom]

And...how old are you?

private»

[ex_heightens219]

[ HEE this question amuses her so much. ] I'm eighteen. [ NOW ASK HER HOW LONG SHE'S BEEN EIGHTEEN STEVE do it so she can laugh at the edward cullen of it all! ]

private»

[priceoffreedom]

Were you eighteen when you were...turned?

[Transformed? Vampirized?]

private»

[ex_heightens219]

[ oh boo you're no fun. ]

Yes, I was. That was last year, so technically I'm nineteen now.

private»

[priceoffreedom]

[That's right, Steve "no-fun" Rogers]

And now you're immortal.

private»

[ex_heightens219]

[ he can be plenty of fun when he wants he just apparently hates elena's joy. ]

Yup. Mostly. Ish. I can die, but it's pretty hard, I'd have to really try. Or have some pretty persistent enemies.

[ which she does, and three of them are even here! but let's not talk about that. ]

private»

[priceoffreedom]

Are they here?

private»

[ex_heightens219]

[ steve don't you read the brackets i said let's not talk about that! ]

Are who here?

private»

[priceoffreedom]

[ffff]

Your enemies.

private»

[ex_heightens219]

[ first history now figuring out she has enemies WHY ARE YOU THE WAY THAT YOU ARE STEVEN GRANT ROGERS ]

I never said I had any.

[ but that is the shifty look of a woman who does, indeed, have enemies. and, oh, one who has her face, so she better come clean about that, at least. ]

There is... someone on the ship who looks exactly like me, but isn't me. Her name is Katherine, and we... Let's just say we don't get along. [ katherine had her aunt/mother-figure stab herself, then got her killed, then killed her brother, has been terrorizing elena for a year and a half... the list goes on. ] She's been fairly quiet here, but if you see me and I'm not behaving normally, it's Katherine, and you should punch her in the face for impersonating me. Again.

[He lives for these conversations (no he doesn't)]

I don't know if I can punch a da-a la-a woman.

private»

[ex_heightens219]

[ oh my god how are you even real. ]

This one deserves the punching, trust me. She killed my brother. And is the reason my aunt died. And ruined my boyfriends' lives, and killed my best friend, and tried to kill me at least twice... Punching is the least that Katherine deserves.

[WAIT HOLD UP]

She did all those things - and she's just wandering around the ship?

private»

[ex_heightens219]

Well, she did all those things back in our home world, or whatever. And like I said, she's behaving now.

private»

[priceoffreedom]

I don't think that those kinds of things just get erased because we're living on a spaceship.
