we'll make it happen, we'll turn it around

[ Well, that... certainly was a thing that happened. Viktor wishes he could unsee what he witnessed in the library, but it seems like it has etched into his memory forever. Thinking about it makes him sick to his stomach, and eventually he decides that he needs something to keep his mind off it, at least for a little while.

So around noon, a note goes up on the fridge: ]


If you need a distraction after what happened today, come to the dining room at 6 pm.
There will be food and we'll be playing truth or dare!
♥ Viktor Nikiforov ♥


[ There's also a cute doodle of himself underneath his signature. Later in the day, he writes copies of said note and slides them under everyone's doors. ]

[ Those who come to the dining room at will find that Viktor has made plenty of borscht, pancakes and open-faced sandwiches for them. He isn't the best chef ever, but it tastes pretty good and will fill you up! There's also juice, water, and a few bottles of alcohol for those who are old enough to drink; try to be responsible, okay.

And for the truth and dare, he's prepared shots of hot sauce as punishment for those who refuse a dare. ]

[ Everyone's young to you, Grandma.

But 21's young to die at, yeah. ]


...What was your childhood like? If you can remember it.

[ Oh.

... Elda's expression in response to that is strange, slightly complicated. Like she's nostalgic, but that same nostalgia pains her. All the same, she shakes her head (which causes the little cat collar Hanyuu put on her to comically jingle) and smiles ]


No, no, of course I remember it.

Back in the old country, the Marker clan had a great manor and we had numerous relatives and branches. My father was the head of the household, a stern figures... actually, I probably take a lot after him. [ she sees herself as stern... ] and my mother was beautiful. I actually had a younger brother too! It was more common for vampires to have more than one child in those days, you see. Father had a title of lesser nobility in the region, so we didn't want for much, and often enough other Marker relatives visited, like my uncle, who always told us stories from the south and from the old days. We didn't have the Assembly back then... But I was being groomed to be the new head of the clan. A lot of my youth, that time before I awakened, was spent with my studies, usually with my mother.

[ She sees herself as stern... ]

...Before you awakened. [ As a vampire, she'd guess, but. ] How old were you when that happened?

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-09 06:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, just the average age, thirteen or so! Of course, with how father raised us, I was already mostly active at night anyway, so it was jut a matter of thinking that our chef's blood smelled delicious and going for it!

[ Aaah, romantic childhood memories ]

[ THIRTEEN......... ]

...So it's like puberty, but for vampires. [ I MEAN?? ] Are there late bloomers?

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-09 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, sometimes. I've never heard that much further on than like fifteen or so.
stepout: (08. step sequence)

[personal profile] stepout 2017-02-10 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Are there vampires that don't ever awaken? Sort of like... duds, I guess. People that turned out to just be human, or something like that.

[ ...also Elda's not really gotta answer any of these, she technically already did her truth, but!! ]
matchbreaker: (Cute tbh)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-10 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Not that I've ever heard of! [ She says this... Well her eyes did widen a little as if something dawned on her but she quickly moved past it, leaning in to whisper ] the halfbreeds are close, but not quite the same.
stepout: (17. loop)

[personal profile] stepout 2017-02-10 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Halfbreeds would be human and vampire parentage, huh. ]

Okay. [ ... ] Your turn, by the way.

...Dare?

[ why did you suddenly say her name, you don't use her name. ]
matchbreaker: (Cute tbh)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-10 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
Dare you to let someone bite your finger.

[ ...Elda. ]

You know why I can't. [ .....but actually, she'll hold one out to her. ] Unless it's you.
matchbreaker: (Hell Cat!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-10 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, it's that far gone? You still feel like - you know.

[ you had skin. At least last she tried.

... But then, maybe Elda expected this because she takes hold of Chiyuki's hand and brings it up to her lips, her fangs bared as she plans to bite down with just enough force that in a human it'd draw blood ]
stepout: (11. step out)

[personal profile] stepout 2017-02-10 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ And it still feels like she does, at least, but that's not really what she's worried about; what she's worried about is too much pressure happening and people getting flakes in their mouth.

...Like how Elda's getting, and also the taste of resin (thanks, plastic. plexiglass. whatever.)

She winces too, just for a moment. ]
matchbreaker: (POLKA DOT IT)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-10 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ For a moment, this feels normal.

... And then it's disgusting. It's in fact so disgusting that she backs off from it, gagging a little, and spits Chiyuki's hand out of her mouth, hacking up something stuck in her throat and reaching around for her blood glass. ]

Ugh! Uuuugh.
stepout: (21. edge)

[personal profile] stepout 2017-02-10 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's what she thought, yeah. She'll have to get a bandage or something for this later, or... better soon rather than later, honestly. No one'll notice if she sneaks up to the infirmary, right? ]

...I can't believe you just did that knowing exactly what you were getting into.
matchbreaker: (FROM THE START)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-10 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
I had to try!

[ THERE IT IS.

Chugging some drink but-- ]


Are you okay? I didn't expect you to feel anything.

[ that's whispered - she felt the wince ]
stepout: (21. edge)

[personal profile] stepout 2017-02-10 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...Thanks for the discretion, she'll whisper back. ]

It surprised me, that's all. [ Even if she's the one who offered it to her, it was still kind of—normal people do not have fangs like that, let's put it like that. ] ...I didn't really, but I wanted to. Not in a bad way, but in a "normal people wince when a vampire bites them" way.
matchbreaker: (tbh im not sure if the above is better)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-10 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
So you really don't feel things?

[ But he nods - to confirm that is indeed painful for normal people. We sure are whispering now ]
stepout: (08. step sequence)

[personal profile] stepout 2017-02-10 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ...it's ultimately difficult to say, because it feels like she does? but it's not like it hurts when she picks at her cracks.

(if it did she would do it a lot less, let's be real.) ]


...I don't know how to explain it, sorry.
matchbreaker: (Storm King's Thunder)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-10 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[So does she or doesn't she? Tch. ... Oh well, though. Elda shakes her head, a bit annoyed at her own sympathy. ]

My bad for giving you another spot to cover.

At least this one's easy to explain away. [ She cut herself in the kitchen or something, or it's a paper cut, whatever. She'll inspect it a bit before hiding her hands behind her back, glancing at the door.

...yeah, now should be good. ]
I don't think anyone'll ask after me if I'm quick enough, but would you cover for me anyway?
matchbreaker: (She-Hulk!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2017-02-10 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I can do that.

[ No problem! Thumbs up!! ]
