( 005 ) video ✶ they say what you lose only turns into gold is that what this luck's gonna bring
[ admitting she's a vampire hasn't been topping jenna's list of priorities on-ship. she's spent more time as a vampire aboard the tranquility than she did at home-- she still thinks of herself as human, for crying out loud. it doesn't matter if she likes garlic on her pizza and she can still primp in mirrors, and that unless someone accidentally impales her with a large piece of wood she could probably keep her secret longer. there's a line now, and jenna's firmly on the non-human side of it, like it or not.
after todd, there are people who won't care what jenna classifies herself as, people who will be every bit as terrified as she was when klaus used ric's body to threaten her. if klaus had been the only vampire jenna had met before dying-- before he killed her, just to drive the point home-- she might still be just as afraid.
but he wasn't the only one, and jenna can't just say nothing. so she's uncharacteristically anxious before this broadcast, staring at her communicator and changing her mind a million times. finally she sighs and pushes the button, quiet as all the careful speeches she prepared slip out of her head. ]
...Hi. Hey. [ sighing, she lifts a hand to wave awkwardly. ] For those of you who don't already know me, I'm Jenna. And I'm-- [ not human. not human. god, this is ridiculous. ] --stalling. I'll just go for it, like a bandaid.
I'm Jenna, and I'm a vampire. [ her words speed up here, because she's aware nothing here sounds like more than a sincerely nice trip taking hold. ] Here, hold on.
[ reaching out of frame, jenna grabs a small knife stolen from the kitchen-- a fit of paranoia, after katherine's arrival-- and holds it out. she's debated about this part, going back and forth all week. she's not happy with the idea for a multitude of reasons-- but even everyone won't be convinced regardless of what she does on-camera, if she has to somehow prove she's not just screwing around to everyone one by one, she'll go nuts. better a big impression first, and add more personal sides of the story one on one. ] If you're squeamish, you might not want to watch this part.
[ stripping off her hoodie and angling her arm so it's in clear view of the screen, jenna places the knife's tip on her upper arm before turning her head away and looking a little pale. the first score doesn't bring blood to the surface-- vampire strength is nothing when compared to a lifetime of trying to not cut herself when holding knives-- but after a deep breath she pushes harder, wincing as her skin splits under the blade. once the cut is long enough to make her point but not be dramatic, jenna prods at the wound a little, avoiding the sluggish, fat trickles of blood winding around her bicep. ] Sorry about that, it's just the best way I know to prove it. I mean, other than this.
[ all jenna has to do is let herself think about how much that hurt, how unfair this all is-- the ship, that she's dead at all, everything-- for her features to slip into something a lot less run of the mill. the whites of her eyes go red, veins protruding beneath them. she keeps her teeth firmly hidden behind her lips, but the point is hopefully made. her cut is beginning to close, as well, but it's still hard to switch back so jenna lets her hair swing in front of her face for a moment-- when she raises her head, the face on-screen is the one everyone who's met her up until now expects. ]
I don't drink from other people, I've never killed anyone, I really love garlic bread, all a holy water bath would do is make me cleaner, and I never asked for this. Any questions?
[ 'any questions'. yeah, she'd bet. ]

LOCKED - 100000% ENCRYPTED
Rarely.
[ -this is difficult to describe. ]
The occasional urge but none strong enough for me to consider partaking in the act. To develop the urge seems asinine.
LOCKED - 100000% ENCRYPTED
God, rarely? It's all I think about right now, I'm like a sixteen year old boy. [ she waves a hand and explains, because she is making sherlock talk about sex-- might as well be nice and also give him more facts. ] It's a vampire thing, everything's... amped up. More intense. Sex is just part of it.
[ she frowns, thoughtful. ]
So you're asexual, with occasional toes dipped in the pool? Wait, aren't you dating someone? Not to be rude, but... how does that work?
Re: LOCKED - 100000% ENCRYPTED
⎯we haven't.
[ He considers then that Neal may want to and there is a sudden hitch in his voice. ]
Hehasn'tgiven - he hasn't said he'd be interested.
[ It has occurred to him that he's probably missed the ques if Neal's exhibited any. ]
⎯an effect of vampirisim is an increase in libido? Sensory and Emotionally amped, if you will?
LOCKED - 100000% ENCRYPTED
...Oh. I'm sure-- I mean, if he-- I...
[ she flounders helplessly until thank GOD a question, bless you sherlock. ]
Being a vampire apparently makes everything... just more. The way you are in life is the way you are now, only everything's dialed up to eleven. [ beat. ] But yeah, sensations and... needs, hungers, those ratchet up too.
LOCKED - 100000% ENCRYPTED
[ Awkward Turtle!Sherlock Holmes. ]
Alright, perhaps your increased libido may be of use. How long before - that becomes a factor usually.
[ Sorry Jenna, you started this with your sex dungeons. ]
LOCKED - 100000% ENCRYPTED
THAT AWKWARD MOMENT WHEN ONE OF YOUR CHARACTERS LEERS AT ANOTHERpause. ] Sorry, but he's pretty much model gorgeous and I can't pretend otherwise.[ ...how did this turn into loveline with dr. jenna sommers. how. ]
...That's-- I mean, there's really not a standard. It depends on the couple, what they're both ready for... [ what she's not saying: if she had a guy who looked like that, it would be a factor the minute they met, js. ]
no subject
A month and a half.
[ Sherlock checks his facts and he has a rough idea of time since he and Neal had dinner. He doesn't know how to define anything and then it occurs to him that he wants to keep Neal, happy and the fact that Neal may be unsatisfied with their pacing occurs to him and he's never bothered to ask. JENNA WHAT ARE YOU DOING, THERE ARE PIECES OF HIS MIND PALACE THAT ARE SHATTERING AND HE'S SORT OF NOT OKAY SUDDENLY. ]
no subject
You know, a lot of people wait until marriage. On the scale, a month and a half is nothing.
[ but why you'd wait that long boggles the mind, sherlock, and jenna watched that guy flirt like a pro, so she can't quite erase all the doubt in her voice. if she's broken him, she'll nevr forgive herself. ]
