ACROSTIC DESCRIBE YOURSELF WITH YOUR NAME!
Preferred Alias: Kurt

• Kind
• Unique
• Radiant
• Trustworthy Accurate As Hell, Huh?

[sheba's found that posting things without her owner's permission is amusing, especially when he reacts with sputtering and flushed cheeks.]

i didn't tell you to post this!
why must you have a mind of your own? [a brief pause.]
well, it isn't incorrect, though ...

is that what it was?
felt a lot like i'd lost control of

[well, everything in that moment.]

nevermind.
i suppose it helped, didn't it?
'nervous' seems like a proper response when someone suggests feeding off you.

[sadico]

I apologize if that made you uncomfortable.

[ He wasn't sorry, and technically Kurt had lost control of himself but Ignacio lied so well. ]

Yes, particularly if it is your first time. Now that you have experienced it there is no need for magical calm.

[shadowblends]

[he's somewhat taken aback by the apology; it's something completely unexpected and honestly, kurt has no idea if ignacio is being sincere or not, so--]

it's okay.
i don't know, though.
another feeding might depend on the situation at the time.

[sadico]

It is entirely at your discretion. It would be pleasant for me as I enjoyed your company, but I believe that feeling should be mutual. If you wish to simply get to know each other better, do let me know.

[shadowblends]

i'll think on it. [as true as he can get in this moment.]
but it should be known that i didn't not enjoy your company.
even simply talking like this, we are getting to know each other better and i think that's amazing.

[sadico]

English is not my first language but I believe what you just said sounds promising?

I am glad you are enjoying it. Ask me anything, I am happy to speak with you.

[shadowblends]

it is! promising, i mean.
english isn't my first language, either. what is yours?

i can ask anything?

[sadico]

Spanish. I am glad to know that is promising!

You may.

[shadowblends]

can't say i've visited that part of europe.

hmmm
what made you decide to become a vampire?
did you get the choice or not so much?

[sadico]

Is it the best part of Europe. With a name like Kurt, are you from Turkey?

I did not name that decision, I was born a vampire. I remember no life before this.

[shadowblends]

since i've never been, i'll have to take your word for it.
not from turkey, no. germany is my homeland, but i was living in america before being brought here.

how interesting! have you ever thought about what it'd be like if you weren't?
or if you had been born a different species?

[sadico]

Guten Tag, my friend.

No, I have not, I am very happy how I am. What about you? Have you ever considered being different than you are now?

[shadowblends]

you speak german? marvelous!
is that all you know or can you have full-on conversations?

mutant and proud is what we say! mutatis mutandis or "changing only those things which need to be changed" is even our school motto.
i have an item from a friend that makes me look different, though.
very convenient for sneaking missions.

[sadico]

I do. I speak many languages fluently, German being one of them.

[ And as if to prove that point, he texted that entire sentence in German. He continued to do so, as if he thought Kurt would prefer it that way. ]

It is good to hear that, to have pride in what you are. But I understand when a disguise may be necessary, especially around humans. "Sneaking missions" you say? Your school has missions?

[shadowblends]

you still struggle with english at times, though?
i may not be the best tutor, but i could teach you a few things.

[he'll respond in german for now; it's mostly for ignacio's comfort, considering he'd mentioned not having complete command of english and all.

the little fluttery feeling kurt has in his stomach about speaking his native tongue with someone must be a coincidence, huh?]

it's an interesting magical item. useful, as i said, yet also stylish in a way that's not conspicuous.
sort of? we have a training room with simulations so we can practice combat, stealth and whatever else we might need to know for an actual mission.

[sadico]

At times. It is one of my newer languages. Please, by all means, I would accept your guidance.

Do you have it here?

I asked if your school has missions, you say "sort of" but then acknowledge that you prepare for actual missions. Is that less "sort of" and more "yes, we are a school that goes on missions"?

But that begs the question of why? Why does your school have "missions"?

[shadowblends]

as i said, it won't be perfect or anything, but i'll do what i can.

the necklace?
if that's what you mean, then yes, i do.

it's a long story.
we're a school first, though we do train for missions because we are a team that protects people from threats.
the more prepared we are, the better we can handle the situation.

[sadico]

Yes, that is what I meant. That is an interesting necklace to have.

I see. You are protectors of mutantkind?

[shadowblends]

it is! perhaps i'll have to show you how it works sometime.

mutants, humans, animals ...
and whatever other sort of beings occupy the planet, we guard them.

[sadico]

How is that possible? Humans are the natural enemy of animals and nature. You cannot guard them both.

[shadowblends]

if handled correctly, why wouldn't we be able?
teaching humans how to protect nature instead of harming it is one way, though there will always be some who refuse change.
there are ways to handle that, too.

[sadico]

You would have an easier time attempting to control insects. Humans are chaotic and naturally selfish, they drain resources and use others. They reject what does not fit into their mold and destroy beauty in the name of temporary profit.

[shadowblends]

[kurt doesn't want to argue. on one hand, ignacio is right-- humans are ridiculously egocentric, but on the other, there are good people out there that he wants to fight for.

even if it means being in disagreement with a vampire lord.]

perhaps that is most of the humans or many of them that you know.
i've seen otherwise and prefer not to damn someone before understanding their intentions.

[sadico]

[ there's a pause as Ignacio double-checks Kurt's synchr ]

You are 19 years old.

such affront iggy

[shadowblends]

[he waits patiently as ignacio does this, but his answer is still the same, nonetheless.]

and your point is?
