My friends,

Know that it is I who have brought you to this land, my home, and know that I alone can release you from it. I bid you dine at my castle so that we can meet in civilized surroundings. Your passage here will be a safe one. I await your arrival.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (1994) SENTENCE STARTERS

❛ So you want me to tell you the story of my life. ❜

❛ What were you going to do? Kill me, drink my blood? ❜

❛ I'm flesh and blood, but not human. I haven't been human for 200 years. ❜

❛ I couldn't bear the pain of their loss. I longed to be released from it. ❜

❛ You lack the courage of your convictions. Do it! ❜

❛ Don't be afraid. I'm going to give you the choice l never had. ❜

❛ Your body's dying. Pay no attention. It happens to us all. ❜

❛ No words can describe it. Might as well ask Heaven what it sees. No human can know. ❜

❛ You'll get used to killing. Just forget about that mortal coil. You'll become accustomed to it, all too quickly. ❜

❛ There's nothing in the world now that doesn't hold some...Fascination. ❜

❛ The dark gift is different for each of us. But one thing is true of everyone. We grow stronger as we go along. ❜

❛ That's more like it! Anger! Fury! ❜

❛ Remember: Life without me would be even more unbearable. ❜

❛ You must know something about the meaning of it all. ❜

❛ They know about us. They watch us dine on empty plates and drink from empty glasses. ❜

❛ Forgive me if I have a lingering respect for life. ❜

❛ Perfect! Just burn the place! Burn everything we own! Have us living in a field, like cattle! ❜

❛ What if there is no Hell? Or they don't want us there? Ever think of that? ❜

❛ You're in love with your mortal nature. You resist what can bring you peace. ❜

❛ We're predators, whose all-seeing eyes give them detachment! ❜

❛ It's your coffin, enjoy it. Most of us never get to know what it feels like. ❜

❛ Kill them swiftly if you will, but do it! For do not doubt you are a killer! ❜

❛ My philosopher. My martyr. "Never take a human life.” ❜

❛ Pain is terrible for you. You feel it like no other creature, because you're a vampire. ❜

❛ Evil is a point of view. God kills indiscriminately, and so shall we. ❜

❛ A little child, she was. But also a fierce killer, now capable of the ruthless pursuit of blood with all a child's demanding. ❜

❛ Remember, never in our home! ❜

❛ Time can pass quickly for mortals when they're happy. With us, it was the same. The years flew by like minutes. ❜

❛ More melancholy nonsense. You grow more like [name] daily! ❜

❛ Do you want me to be a doll forever? ❜

❛ Can't I change like everyone else? ❜

❛ Be glad I made you what you are. You'd be dead now if I hadn't. ❜

❛ You will never grow old. And you will never die. ❜

❛ I thought of all the things I'd done and couldn't undo. And I longed for one second's peace. ❜

❛ He will never let us go. ❜

❛ What is it now? You irritate me. Your very presence irritates me! ❜

❛ Is that supposed to frighten me? ❜

❛ I came to make peace with you. Even though you're the father of lies. I want things to be as they were. ❜

❛ Why do you say such things? ❜

❛ I promise I'll get rid of the bodies. ❜

❛ We forgive each other then? ❜

❛ Good night, sweet prince. May flights of devils wing you to your rest. ❜

❛ Should we burn him? Bury him? What would he have liked? ❜

❛ You've been a very, very naughty little girl. ❜

❛ We deserve your vengeance. ❜

❛ For what could the damned really have to say to the damned? ❜

❛ There are no vampires in Transylvania? No Count Dracula? ❜

❛ I've searched the world for an immortal and this is what I find! ❜

❛ No one will harm you. I won't allow it. ❜

❛ Vampires who pretend to be humans pretending to be vampires. How avant-garde. ❜

❛ Do you know what it means to be loved by Death? ❜

❛ You die when you kill. You feel you deserve to die and you stint on nothing. ❜

❛ But perhaps...this is the only real evil left. ❜

❛ I know nothing of God. Or the Devil. I have never seen a vision, nor learned a secret that would damn or save my soul. ❜

❛ You fear too much. So much you make me fear. ❜

❛ There is but one crime among us vampires here. It is the crime that means death to any vampire: To kill your own kind. ❜

❛ Danger holds you to me. ❜

❛ Love holds you to me. ❜

❛ You would leave me for [name] if he beckoned you. ❜

❛ Is that what I should do? Let you go? ❜

❛ If you want to save her, send her away! ❜

❛ The world changes. We do not. Therein lies the irony that finally kills us. ❜

❛ I need you to make contact with this age. ❜

❛ A vampire with a human soul. An immortal with a mortal's passion. ❜

❛ You are beautiful, my friend. [name] must have wept when he made you. ❜

❛ I knew him. Knew him well enough not to mourn his passing. ❜

❛ Your evil is that you cannot be evil! And I shall suffer for it no longer! ❜

❛ I haven't tears enough for what you've done to me! ❜

❛ Oh, God! I love you still! That's the torment of it! ❜

❛ Who'll care for me, my love, my dark angel, when you are gone? ❜

❛ Bear me no ill will, my love. We are now even. ❜

❛ What has died is the last breath in me that was human. ❜

❛ Your only company will be your screams. ❜

❛ Maybe it was to quench those tears forever that I took such revenge. ❜

❛ You can teach me this? To be without regret? ❜

❛ What if all I have is my suffering? My regret? ❜

❛ I know you regret nothing. You feel nothing. If that's all I have left to learn, I can do that on my own. ❜

❛ You've come home to me then? ❜

❛ I'm a spirit of preternatural flesh. Detached. Unchangeable. Empty. ❜

❛ That's it? No, it can't end like that. ❜

❛ What I wouldn't give to be like you, to have your power, to have seen the things you have seen. ❜

❛ You want a companion. You want a link to the outside world. That's me. Take me.❜

❛ Do you like this? Do you like being food for the immortals? Do you like dying? ❜

❛ I assume I need no introduction. ❜

❛ Still whining. Heard enough? I've had to listen to that for centuries. ❜

So we met this really off putting guy and his intense bodyguard or something and maybe it's just me but he seems like a really awful person

But seriously: we finally met Strahd face to face--and Rahadin, so I'll have to get to figuring out his appearance too 👀--and overall it went fairly well, all things considered! Definitely left a bad taste in everyone's mouths, but that seems par the course for this guy

Design is not THE Fit™ aka Strahd's normal look, I went for a more outdoorsy appearance, something to be worn for when you're out riding around your domain of dread and harassing your citizens/new guests on the streets

the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse.

❛  that cake. it looks delicious. spectacular. i mean it's magnificent.  ❜

❛  what do you want to be when you grow up?  ❜

❛  nothing beats kindness. it sits quietly beyond all things. ❜

❛  it's the wild. don't fear it.  ❜

❛  wait, i said don't fear it, not charge right at it. ❜

❛  if at first you don't succeed, have some cake.  ❜

❛  isn't it odd we can only see our outsides but nearly everything happens on the inside?  ❜

❛  is there something there?  ❜

❛  imagine how we'd be if we were less afraid.  ❜

❛  most of the old people i know wish they'd listened less to their fears and more to their dreams. ❜

❛  what do you dream about?  ❜

❛  please, be careful.  ❜

❛  i'm not afraid. i'm not afraid. i am not afraid.  ❜

❛  if i wasn't caught in this snare, i'd kill you.  ❜

❛  if you stay in that snare, you'll die.  ❜

❛  you did so well.  ❜

❛  one of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things.  ❜

❛  well, i think everyone feels a bit lost sometimes. i know i do.  ❜

❛  you can't live in a cake shop.  ❜

❛  i think home is somewhere warm and kind, with lights.  ❜

❛  hello. have you been here a while?  ❜

❛  are you lost? we are but we have a plan.  ❜

❛  the snow on the trees, it really does look just like icing.  ❜

❛  doing nothing with friends is never doing nothing, is it?  ❜

❛  well, we're on a quest for cake.  ❜

❛  you fell. but i've got you.  ❜

❛  tears fall for a reason. and they're your strength, not weakness.  ❜

❛  i think you believe in me more than i do.  ❜

❛  life is difficult but you are loved.  ❜

❛  to be honest, i ... i often feel i've got nothing interesting to say.  ❜

❛  being honest is always interesting.  ❜

❛  what's the bravest thing you've ever said?  ❜

❛  asking for help isn't giving up. it's refusing to give up.  ❜

❛  sometimes i want to say 'i love you all' but i find it difficult so i say something like 'i'm glad we're all here.' ❜

❛  i'm so glad we're all here.  ❜

❛  what should we do? that didn't sound good.  ❜

❛  when the big things feel out of control, focus on what you love right under your nose.  ❜

❛  this storm will pass.  ❜

❛  it feels like we have such a long way to go.  ❜

❛  i just don't think i can do this. i'm never going to find a home.  ❜

❛  you know, sometimes your mind plays tricks on you. it can tell you you're no good, that it's all hopeless. but i've discovered this: you are loved and important, and you bring to this world things that no one else can. so, hold on.  ❜

❛  there's something i haven't told you.  ❜

❛  it looks like a home, doesn't it?  ❜

❛  always remember, you're enough. just as you are.  ❜

❛  home isn't always a place, is it?  ❜

❛  so, you know all about me? and you still love me?  ❜

❛  that's why we're here, isn't it? to love. and be loved. ❜

❛ i could keep you safe. they’re all afraid of me. ❜

❛ you can’t do this for me. i won’t let you. ❜

❛ it’s not for you. it’s not a favor. it’s the cruelest thing i could do. ❜

❛ i warn you. i’ll break your heart. ❜

❛ i know you better than you know yourself. ❜

❛ i’m replaceable. you’re not. ❜

❛ i hope to be the one you break your rules for. ❜

❛ why am i so fascinated by you? ❜

❛ when i watch the world burn, all i think about is you. ❜

❛ your hands are scarred from murder, and yet i trust them completely. ❜

❛ whatever you do. you’re still my family. ❜

❛ we could be the greatest team the world has ever seen. ❜

❛ how many times are we going to keep meeting like this? ❜

❛ i just wish i could protect you from everything. ❜

❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜

❛ sleep. i’ll fight the bad dreams off if they come to get you. ❜

❛ you know, they’re going to use the things you love against you. ❜

❛ truth is, i didn’t expect to get this attached to you. ❜

❛ you frustrate me incredibly. ❜

❛ love me like my demons do. ❜

❛ thinking of you is a poison i drink often. ❜

❛ please don’t make me do this. ❜

❛ don’t do anything stupid until i get back. ❜

❛ you protect what you love. ❜

❛ my heart scares you and a gun doesn’t? ❜

❛ you bandaged my wound with one hand, and held a knife in the other. ❜

❛ you save everyone, but who saves you? ❜

❛ you kill me and you accomplish nothing. your world as you know it will end. ❜

❛ all we do together is make love or fight. ❜

❛ i love the way your eyes light up when someone says ‘it might be dangerous’. ❜

❛ when is a monster not a monster? when you love it. ❜

❛ it’s pathetic really, how much i hope it’s me and you in the end. ❜

❛ you were right. you break everything you touch. ❜

❛ i would destroy myself to fix you. ❜

❛ i’m not going to kill you. you don’t deserve that. ❜

❛ that’s how you want me, isn’t it? desperate, jealous, and willing to kill for you. ❜

❛ i’m sorry you’re afraid of being alone. ❜

❛ they made you into a weapon, and told you to find peace. ❜

❛ i wasn’t there for you when you needed me, and i’m sorry. ❜

❛ ‘all right’ is not a term anyone would use to describe you. ❜

❛ just like old times, huh? ❜

❛ then we fight. together. ❜

❛ oh, i’ve missed this! ❜

❛ i know you. you’re me. ❜

❛ i’ve seen who you are under the mask. ❜

❛ i should kill you. why can’t i kill you?! ❜

❛ i don’t know what i’d do if they hurt you. and that terrifies me. ❜

❛ the world doesn’t need someone like you. the world needs you. ❜

❛ bullet wounds don’t just miraculously heal overnight. ❜

❛ you were fighting to survive. i was fighting to win. ❜

❛ i wasn’t a person to you, i was a weapon, and you needed me to work. ❜

❛ you’re pulling your punches. ❜

❛ i wish things were different between us. ❜

❛ don’t scare me like that. i thought i lost you. ❜

❛ don’t you die on me. ❜

❛ you’re so bad at this. it’s cute. ❜

❛ they don’t know you like i know you. ❜

❛ i broke my rules for you. doesn’t that mean anything? ❜

❛ do you think i’d let anything happen to you? ❜

❛ if i told you about the darkness within me, would you still look at me as you are right now? ❜

They're taking up space in the library again. Sitting queerly in chairs and reading upside down.

STRAHD HUMMED AS HE NOTICED them sitting peacefully in the library... even if it was upside down. Not that he had any room to talk he often walked on the ceilings.

"Did you find a good book to read?" he spoke softly as he moved to see what book they had.

[dreadlorcl]

he saddles the vampire lord’s lap, draping his arms onto the man’s shoulders as he leans in, lips barely touching. the taste of blood pungent as he whispers. “you don’t need anyone else but me.”

OH HOW HIS WARLOCK TEMPTED HIM, lazily he wrapped an arm around the other. Letting himself drink in the tempting smell of blood on the others lips.

"I want no one else but you." a lie but a small one, it wasn't as if his lost love would appear out of the mist.
