Fifth Vlog | Video | Daemon: hunterd

[bratpack]

[ Hey everyone, welcome to the party in the woods! Or at least, what you can see of it behind this close up of Wyatt's grinning face. There are glittering lights in the background and the weird, mismatched music of the party can be heard. Wyatt has to raise his voice to be heard over it. ]

What is up guys my name is Wyatt, you probably all know that. Unless you're new, in which case, hey! Welcome to the Apocalypse! It's pretty dope here, you probably noticed. I'm telling you, F.A.T.E.S is so cool that he - or she. Or they? I don't know, whatever: they're so cool that they threw a full on multiple-day spanning party just for my birthday. Hey, F.A.T.E.S. -

[ He lifts his glass, filled with an unholy mixture of frothy golden beer, and deep burgundy wine, and salutes the camera. ]

- thank you, my guy. Slash girl. Slash, whatever you are. Hey, you should join us at some point, so that we know what the fuck to call you. Anyways.

[ He takes a drink of his disgusting cocktail, then drops down to sit on a pile of cushions. It's now evident that he's opted not to wear a shirt, but he is wearing cutoff jean shorts. The camera, otherwise known as his daemon Hunterd, follows to keep him in focus. ]

I got a kind of serious thing to talk about. The whole birthday thing has me thinking about, like. Age. And getting older, and shit, which you know, is important when like most of the people you know don't actually do that. When all your friends are like, hundreds of years old and fucking immortal, it puts a new spin on how it feels to be nineteen. I have one year left of teenage dreaming, people. [ He holds up his finger. ] One. So I'm thinking, like. Okay, I'm just gonna ask you, cause that's the whole point of this vlog.

If you had the choice to just not get older, but live forever. Would you do it? Like, is there a con to this pro? I mean, there'd be the whole, 'must drink the blood of the living to survive', deal, but my friends seem to manage okay. Vamps ain't so bad from what I've seen. So, yeah. Your thoughts, please, Youtube-Lite. I'm listening.

[ Vex, who opted out of tbe party in favor of a lonely night on the beach, couldn't help but respond to his pup with a crooked grin on his lips. ]

Hey gorgeous. You know what I say? I say if you have the chance to live forever, take it. That's what I did, anyway. Beats being Hades' lapdog any day.

Also, it means you get back into your teens every hundred years.

Happy birthday, dude. I wish F.A.T.E.S. would party with us one of these days. Seems like she could use the time to unwind with all the nonsense that goes on around here.

[ What does F.A.T.E.S. even look like? Rose wonders. ]

As for your question, that's... a tough one. I'd say at this point I'd take the opportunity to stop aging and live forever but that's because my situation's kind of. Unique?

[ A black wolf with vivid green eyes pads up to sit beside Hunterd, his look amused as he gazes at Wyatt with a slow wag of his tail. Then he steps over to where he is on the cushions and sprawls unceremoniously on top of the shirtless pup, his voice an anused chuckle in Wyatt's head. ]

Feliz cumpleaños.

You are speaking to the general populace about such a serious matter? Why not your family? Or me?

[ The 'or me' part was a joke as he knew he and Wyatt hadn't know each other for that long. ]

[bratpack]

[ Wyatt recognizes that particular wolf immediately, and grins as he climbs on top of him. He moves to put his arms around him immediately, and scratches his Wolfe ears. He noses in, snuggling at the wolf's neck. He's not troubled by the voice in his head, and responds to it as easily as though Ignacio had spoken aloud. Of course this makes Wyatt sound like he's talking to himself, but hey. He doesn't care what anyone thinks. ]

Cumply-an-yos. You better not be shit-talking me, bro, I wouldn't know the difference.anyways what kind of question is that? I'm from the Internet generation, man, we do everything online. You're lucky I didn't add a poll.

[ Pause. ]

I should've added a poll. Damn it. Next time, yo. But you can tell me what you think, anyway, even if you're totally biased since you're already like a world class supervamp. Which my family are too, by the way. I already know where they stand.

[bratpack]

[ Wyatt grins back. He'd rather Vex was with him, obviously. Partying alone is a social embarrassment you're supposed to get a pass from once you're not single anymore. Still, it's not going to stop him from going. There's enough of a crowd here that he feels pretty okay about getting lost in it.

Also, the werewolf wine helps. He won't give Vex a hard time. ]

Yeah, but it also means I never grow proper chest hair. Is that what you want from your teenage werewolf? I don't know. I'm already technically older than my dad ever got, that's the fucking trip. Plus, like...

There's shit I couldn't do as a vamp, you know?

[bratpack]

[ Wyatt points at her. ]

Thank you, to the she-wolf in the back. You know what I'm saying. He-she-it-they are our hosts! They should come play nice once in a while.

Anyways aren't you like immortal, anyway? [ It seems to him like they all are. If they're not immortal, then they're long enough lived that they might as well be. ] I thought you were.

[hasitsthorns]

Maybe I'll pitch the idea next time I try to get F.A.T.E.S. to give me the musical reins around this place.

[ And maybe next time F.A.T.E.S will actually let her have the helm. It is unlikely but she is extremely determined. ]

I've got a good seven hundred years, give or take, left in me if I'm lucky. But if Vanyel turns, then... He'll outlive me instead of it being the other way around? So either way we both lose right now. But if I could live forever too, that'd be best.

[bratpack]

God, please. I don't even think this shit all goes together.

[ He rolls his eyes. Wyatt grew up on human streets in the digital age. He can't imagine what age group this stuff is aimed at, but he knows he's not in it. ]

For real though, you want to both turn? You ever think of that whole, like. Traditional thing where you both get old together? Have a family, have kids that go to school and then drop out cause they ain't gonna make shit out of their lives, but then twenty years later they're putting you in a care home cause they don't wanna visit anymore? It's like, tradition.

[sadico]

It is Spanish for happy birthday. You were close to the pronunciation, you will be learning my language in no time at all.

[ His 'voice' sounded hopeful. Then his chuckle echoed once more. ]

Should I become a vampire, check 'yes' or 'no'?

I believe... that your world would be expanded if you did become one of us. It is one thing to be one with the primal side of nature, but as one of the chosen you will have an additional connection with the earth. Your instincts will enhance, your hunting skills unmatched. Those who are both wolf and vampire in my world are very impressive.

[vexy]

[ One of the many reasons why Vex liked Wyatt: Wyatt didn't give him shit about staying in. ]

Look, I can't grow proper chest hair either. [ He laughed briefly. ] What couldn't you do, anyway? And what do you mean you're older than Hunter?

[astralera]

Happy birthday, Wyatt.

I would not wish to live forever. I will welcome the chance to rest when my time comes.

[hasitsthorns]

It doesn't. At all.

[ She is very adamant about that. ]

I mean, like- Eventually. Maybe. I think we might wanna' do... kids and stuff first, probably? If we do. That's all still a big question mark at this point. If they try to put me in a care home though, good luck. I'm gonna' have a stubborn streak in me until I die I'm pretty sure.

That's some pretty serious thinking to leave to the masses.

[bratpack]

best way to get a whole lot of opinion
i'm kind of bummed i didn't do a poll

are you gonna tell me what you think??

[varou]

sure-

at the end of the day, what anyone else thinks or believes doesn't matter. this is your eternity you're talking about, whether you spend it in the afterlife or living. it's all about what you feel and what you want.

i'd just caution you to seriously think about it, for a good while. don't rush into any decisions just because you turned another year older.

[bratpack]

okay you say that, but you turned immortal when you were like two years younger than me

i mean i get it's about eternity, right? but i don't got an eternity of being young, if i don't make that call soon. you know that

i thought you'd want me to turn.

[varou]

and get stuck with you forever? hell no.

wyatt, i'd be over the moon if you turned. i shouldn't be telling you that, though, cause i shouldn't be influencing your decision.

i did change when i was super young, and i didn't really think about it. i wouldn't change my mind, i know that for sure. but i might have gone about it differently.

[bratpack]

if you're not gonna influence me who is? it's your family i want in on, man

but what does that mean anyways? i know you turned cause you loved rafa, you ain't gonna tell me you wouldn't still do that now.

[varou]

i didn't say i wouldn't still do it!!

i just mighta waited till after i had at least one brat the natural way.

[bratpack]

[ ... ]

you would've had kids?

like with a girl?

[varou]

like. surrogacy. or however they do it.

i mighta figured it out!!

[bratpack]

sure. cause people knew about that shit like 400 years ago or whatever.

for real though, you would've wanted kids?
i always wanted kids. figured i'd have them by now, you know, if i'd stayed with my pack

[varou]

i dunno. i didn't really think too hard about kids back then. didn't think about a lotta things, though. maybe if i slowed down i mighta thought about it before you.

but having you? like.... i like being a dad.

do you still want kids?

[bratpack]

wait so. i made you want more kids? me.

[ That's. Wyatt doesn't know what to think about that. ]

i didn't
shit, man. i mean can't you still do it? it ain't like there's just surrogacy, you could like. adopt, maybe
i'd like that.

and i do want kids. yeah. i just, you know, i'm with vex, and i don't know if he's even into that. he ain't super into like, formal commitment or anything

Re: text;

[bratpack]

thanks :)

so why is that, why do you want to die? like if you had the chance, would you say no?
