"I am taking you seriously. It was a serious question."

Daniel realized it probably made him sound like a crazy person. He couldn't care less.

"Look, bullies? They're the biggest cowards out there. If you fight back, they'll stop."

Richie Lipschitz / rp account @ilovebeingalive.bsky.social · 1d

“Wha — no! He’s a jock, which in a lot of ways is worse. I should know!”

Richie pouts.

“You’re not taking me seriously.”

"No, but... Does he have fangs?"

That probably sounded mocking. He didn't mean it to be, actually.

"I'm not taking that thing. You can't make me."

He sounded petulant. But more than that, he realized that his words were just... wrong. He probably could make him. He already was fighting the urge to open his eyes again.

A stubborn mortal, but mortal nonetheless.

"Oh, I'm sorry! Did I mess up your freaky mind-magic? My bad!"

Daniel stubbornly closed his eyes, as if that would help anything. Maybe if he just didn't look at the doll, it wouldn't get to him again.

It felt like a childish thing to do, he realized at the last second. But his decision was ━

He waved her off, shaking his head. No need to drag her into supernatural shit. Humans are not meant for that. Clearly. His mind is hanging on by a thread. And that thread is fraying.

"I'm not afraid."

He scowls, folding his arms over each other.

“Have you SEEN Max Jägerman?!”

The 𝓑𝓸𝔂 @brightreporter.bsky.social · 1d

His eyebrow raised.

"Fight back?"

“Let’s see… being bullied by Max Jägerman every day of my goddamn life!”

Worse?

He won't call bullshit, so long as he explains.

This didn't feel normal. It must be supernatural, right? He missed his life before he knew that shit was real.

The 𝓑𝓸𝔂 @brightreporter.bsky.social · 1d

The stranger's final words were enough to snap him out of his stupor. He jerked back, rubbing at his eyes to try and fight the headache that was starting to set in.

"What the fuck are you talking about, man?!"

Fear, for Daniel, can turn into anger quite fast. His heart was ━

Right there with him… but worse.

He's starting to feel a little bit like a chew toy.

The 𝓑𝓸𝔂 @brightreporter.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah? Doesn't seem like the rest of the supernatural world agrees.

Lestat de Lioncourt | Parody @lebriseurderegles.bsky.social · 1d

Daniel holds more value than that, he should think.

━ there. He had failed the last time he mentally fought like this and he would fail now too. He wanted the thing. Why not just grab it?

"If it's new, how could I have...?"

He reached up. Not to grab the doll, just to touch it.

The 𝓑𝓸𝔂 @brightreporter.bsky.social · 1d

"Depends how you define power and influence."

The urge to grab that freaky little doll was growing. His mind was rebelling against it, though. The same way that it screamed, thrashed, and fought when...

When what?

Whatever it was, there was a sense of inevitability ━

The 𝓑𝓸𝔂 @brightreporter.bsky.social · 1d

"Oh. Yeah, I..."

Going into the kitchen, (provided by the landlord when he moved in) he opened his fridge. Inside, there was no food. Just a single bottle of vodka.

"What do you mean by that? Are vampires territorial about their human pets or something?" He asked, half-jokingly.

The 𝓑𝓸𝔂 @brightreporter.bsky.social · 1d

━ was. That was starting to bug him.

"I'm not picky." He eventually answered, forcing himself to push past the dread. "You could just order a pizza if you really think I should eat."

━ asked, surprised. To be honest, Daniel didn't eat much. His addiction made his appetite nearly non-existent. And, for some reason, the thought of being fed by a vampire gave him that same cold dread that the word 'Armand' had.

There was nothing to explain why he was afraid of it and yet he ━

He hummed when he got his answer, scribbling something down on his notepad. He scanned his eyes over his questions, getting ready to ask his next one, but Lestat beat him to the punch.

"What?" He ━

Daniel could not wrap his head around having eternal life and throwing it away. He was so hungry for life, constantly looking for the next thing, always asking 'and then what?'

Sure, he remembered Louis' story. He heard how eternal life didn't mean freedom from pain. But no matter how much pain ━

"So are raccoons!"

He said that as a joke.

It's easier to deflect with humor, but he couldn't hide how his cheeks turned a light shade of pink.

The 𝓑𝓸𝔂 @brightreporter.bsky.social · 3d

Wandering over to the closet, he started to look through. Armand's clothes are expensive.

"I don't. I have an older sister and a younger sister. Thought you could read minds?"

The 𝓑𝓸𝔂 @brightreporter.bsky.social · 3d

"Not afraid."

He said with a chuckle, following after her. He was fidgety, as he always was.

"I've been alright. Can't complain, I guess."

The 𝓑𝓸𝔂 @brightreporter.bsky.social · 3d

"Uh. Sure."

He was a little disoriented. But then, he always seemed a little... out of it.

The 𝓑𝓸𝔂 @brightreporter.bsky.social · 3d

He disappeared into the bathroom and a minute later, the water turned on.

He took his time. A nice, burning hot shower. He even shaved afterward. When he came out, he had a towel wrapped around his waist.

"Am I allowed to see my clothes now?"

The 𝓑𝓸𝔂 @brightreporter.bsky.social · 3d

"Alright, alright, I'll shower."

He laughed, getting to his feet and stretching. Groaning when he felt a slight pain in his shoulder.

An old injury that never healed quite right. (From when? He doesn't remember.)

"Be right back."
