the forest was quiet as usual til what sounded like a storm opened up from a small circle a few feet off the ground, complete with lightening flash off and striking trees but as quickly as the the ‘storm’ started, it ended, leaving only a few burn marks and a broken man on the ground -(sending this again cause i know tumblitch eats asks) dedmax, a starter for jon!

Carlos went out into the storm with his equipment, since the weather was really interesting around Sleepy Peak Peak (what, with Spooky island and that one side of the lake always being covered in dark, foreboding clouds).

As he approached one of the locations of a lightning strike however he paused, seeing a person on the ground. Oh no – did it strike someone?

Carlos hurried over and dropped his equipment to the side to start inspecting the body for life.

“He-hello? Hello, can you hear me? Sir?”

he groaned weakly, barely opening his eyes before trying to sit up “Where am I.. What happened-” he hissed in pain, tightly holding his side as blood started to soak through his clothes

Oh, thank God – he’s alive.

“You’re in a forest… you may have been struck by lightning. Where do you hurt? Where’s the wound?”

Carlos went through the pockets of his labcoat for some fresh rubber gloves and his first aid kit.

My Fingers Slipped @partyplanningforsuckers The heat only seemed to be packed in at the circus, with the hundreds of citizens that had swarmed like ants and the intense rides that seemed to have a life of their own. The smell of sugary cotton candy and popcorn was enough to lure anyone who had just come from a days work, the circus was the place to be. With a circle of sand and tigers, along with swinging trapeze and double jointed dancers, the main stage was selling ticket for such a view.

Carlos hadn’t been to a circus in years – not since he was little. But there had been a raffle at work and Carlos had won a coupon for a free ticket. He kinda hoped that his brother and/or his dad were in town so he could invite them to go with him.

Carlos made his way to the ticket office that was set up, standing in the line with his coupon as he looked at everything around him. Some things were different than what he remembered or imagined a circus to be like, but not everything could be a dated cliche trope he supposed.

Once at the ticket office he smiled and offered the coupon. “Hey… this any good?” he asked in a joking manner.

@partyplanningforsuckers

Skip
blushed at their response and found himself wanting to hide away in a
cage for assuming that the scientist mean poorly, he bit his lip and
brushed it off nervously. Straightening his posture and smiling, “Well- I
don’t know about ‘great efficiency’.. It’s still hard to do and has so
many loopholes and issues..” He shook his head, looking over the two.

“Sorry, I’m so emotional.. It must be all of you humans getting to me
or something, I knew it would be hard doing this with all of this live
blood.. but I’m still trying-“ With a chuckle he rubbed at his own
bitten neck, “Any questions for this blood sucker?”

“So many!” Jayne said with a smile.

“Uh, I think Carlos already called dibs on him,” somebody said. “Shouldn’t we wait for him to present his findings first?”

They started to discuss amongst each other, debating Scientific Integrity and Respect versus Scientific Curiosity. One would wonder how these scientists managed to work together when they disagreed like this.

So at that, the vampire gave a tired huff and leaned up against the nearest wall with his arms crossed. He glanced up to Lore and decided to pull them down after debating whether or not he could get away with an uncontested meal, he would just ask them and hopefully they would approve. So he grabbed them carefully by the forearm and the waist, guiding their levitation down until their feet met the floor.

Then he gave a few flicks to their forehead, attempting to wake up their third eye and brain until he said their name in a low lulling manner, usually giving him the ability to take them out of the trance.

“Lore?”

The scientists suddenly went quiet as they watched Lore start to stir. “We should have taken video,” someone said and they all nodded in agreement.

Lore hummed and their eyes fluttered before they were once again looking at Skip. They smiled at him widely.

ooc. You don’t have to read, just lemme get this out.

((I’m sorry that I haven’t been very active lately. There just… hasn’t been much for me to respond to in-character here.

Maybe I’m not looking hard enough for places for me to jump in in-character, but I just haven’t been feeling a lot of ask memes/ice breakers either because I worry that it maybe just isn’t ‘right‘ for our characters.

I do have open threads, but as far as I know it’s not my turn. I have been waiting on some of them for a bit, admittedly, but I have really just stopped asking after them because usually people are busy. Which is fine and all, it really is, I’m not blaming them for that.

I just feel like I’m in a downer regarding rp on here. I don’t know how long this’ll last, if people are still interested in playing with me, or what. I do worry that some folks are just purposefully letting threads drop on me, but of course i have no evidence of this so it’s just a worry.

Point is, I’m not sure what to do or how to go forward. I want to keep playing, so much, but am I just going to be waiting around?

Again, it’s probably me not being active enough or looking for opportunity. But I have been pretty nervous, all things considered, so I haven’t been reaching out as much to start things.

At this point, I’m just planning on… waiting around and seeing what happens.

“Don’t
worry,” Skip said to the other scientist as he caught Lore in his arms,
lifting them into a bridal hold before slowly levitating them just a
few inches above his hands. “I’ve got a better place,” He seemed a bit
more concentrated now, eyes firm on their body as he let them lay in the
air.

“But Lore wanted to see the show later,” another scientist said. “They were really excited about it. I think they’ll appreciate it better to be here when they wake up.”

The vampire wanted to hiss at their assumptions and drain them just for talking, but he restrained himself and simply shook his head. “Oh no, they’ll stay right here until I say otherwise and whenever I snap my fingers they will know how to speak the Dead Language, Latin.

The poor scientists didn’t know what was going on. But then one of them noticed Lore wasn’t actually touching Skip’s hands as they lay.

“Wait – whoa, are they floating?”

“The gravity didn’t turn off again,” one of the other scientists commented astutely.

As scientists, there was clearly something heavy to be said about their delayed reaction.

“They are floating yes, they’ll stay like that for a while.. maybe they’ll allow me to feed on them,” He cleared his throat and shook his head, “Not that I would pressure them- it’s only that live blood is so much better than old.”

The scientists suddenly grew quiet. It wasn’t a silence of awe, but it was kind of awkward.

“Wait, what?” asked a scientist, looking up from his work. He was just barely catching up to what was going on.

“So that’s why he can hypnotize people so well,” one of the scientists murmured, as if they were about to delve deep in thought with this new revelation.

The vampire glared over at the murmuring scientist and hissed through his thick lips and massive fangs, a lisp in his bow irritated voice as his eyes narrowed on them and grew cold. “Of course I’m good at hypnotism because of my natural need for human blood- I will die without it, now let me be clear here. I am not doing this job to feed- I have no intention on feeding on any of you unless you allowed me to.” He flipped his hair and huffed, rolling his eyes.

“How rude.”

“C’mon, he didn’t mean that,” another scientist said. “Did you, Jayne?”

“Huh? Oh, no, I didn’t,” Jayne said. “I just realized that you were a vampire. Which are known for being able to hypnotize people with great efficiency. Sorry… I meant no offense.”

This whole time, Lore lay still in their invisible bed, sleeping in a silence that was still weirding out some of the other scientists.
