I like my toys with a pulse

Gwen Haloway. 18. Vampire. New York Institute. ------------------------- You may bury my body, down by the highway side. So my old evil spirit, can get a Greyhound bus and ride.

“We do not like uninvited guests in our house.“ Arvid spoke, as the leader of the clan, he could not accept such things. Strangers walking into a house of vampires, not that he cared but he knew his folks and he knew what they would do if he did not stay strict with them. He sat lazily in the chair, a cigarette in his mouth and blowing out some smoke as he turned his head. “Not quite smart.“ Arvid grinned as the person was caught by one of his members. With a swift motion of his hand he mentioned to let the person go.

[guineverehaloway]

“Oh, shut up, Arvid.” Gwen turned around and rolled her eyes at the other vampire, who spoke up as she was walking by. “Don’t worry, I’m not here to decapitate you, since I wouldn’t touch you with a ten foot pole. I’m just here to pick up a friend of mine and then I’m off.” Gwen snarked back at him.

“I have vampire friends!” Lena said defensively but came up with nothing when she tried to think of names. Maybe she did need more vampire friends. “You for example.” She mumbled. “Really? I don’t think I have met a lot of faeries in the Institute.”

[guineverehaloway]

Gwen grinned at the younger girl, because she knew she was right even if Lena tried to prove otherwise. “Oh yeah? But I don’t count, because I basically forced you to be friends with me. You had no say in this.” Gwen joked. “Yeah, that’s also because they tend to be quite selfish and unhelpful.”

“No!” Tessa protested. She was ready to bet her cheeks had turned flaming red. Oh, God. Even Magnus hadn’t been that embarrassing. “More dramatic, actually. Like, one of them would have died without being made a Silent Brother. Anyway, I know forbidden romance is a marvellous theme, but parabatais just can’t date each other.”

[guineverehaloway]

Gwen marvelled more and more the redder the cheeks of the other girl grew. “Damn... right. Would’ve been hot though and I would’ve bowed before you. Not that this is any less grand. Like, you’ve done it with a Silent Brother? Is he still a Silent Brother? Was he one while you guys did it? Because that would be just kinky, since those guys are basically dead.”

[seralightwood]

“You assume right, there is no way that I snore.”

[guineverehaloway]

“Okay, then we will just act as if that were true. Plausible deniability.”

[varissa-winthrop-blog]

“Get your party clothes on and we’ll get this night started!”

[guineverehaloway]

“Nah, I’m always dressed party-ready. Unless you want to spill some beans and tell me I can’t go like this.”

[gxrardobeltrano]

[guineverehaloway]

“Wow, I’ve rendered you speechless. I can take that off of my bucket list now.”

[varissa-winthrop-blog]

“I’m heading to Pandemonium tonight. Wanna come?”

[guineverehaloway]

“You don’t even have to ask. I’m always up for a night out.”

[seralightwood]

“      I wasn’t sleeping.”

[guineverehaloway]

“And I assume you also weren’t snoring just a second ago?”

[tessagrxy-blog]

“…Well, not yet. It’s not even about them not being happy to see each other - I mean, they’re parabatais, or they used to, at least…” Tessa’s voice trailed off. To anyone else, she would’ve sounded crazy, always hesitating to just call Jem and tell him his best friend was alive. But the thing was, Will was too…well, unlike Will. “No, no - there’s no problem with him.” she protested. “There was no problem.” she corrected after a moment, pouting her lips.

[guineverehaloway]

“Holy shit! You fucked parabatai?! Like at the same time?” Gwen let out an excited little squeak before giggling, before questioning the other girl further. “Wait, was it like a polyamory thing but then he couldn’t do it anymore so he left you two? What happened?”

[magdalenafroste]

She wasn’t surprised that Gwen would know Derreck. He seemed to be someone that would know everyone in the Institute. “I won’t mind making new friends.” Lena grinned. “And I guess it wouldn’t be that bad.” She can’t stay locked up in the Institute forever. “Why don’t you come with us?”

[guineverehaloway]

“Yeah, a few more vampire friends won’t be bad for you.” Although there wasn’t a big difference between the living and the dead, Lena was still acting a little bit too mundane. Maybe she would learn and adjust more by seeing other vampires. “Sure, why not. I’m always up for a party. Although I hope there won’t be that many faeries because most of them tend to be quite... stuck-up individuals.”

[gxrardobeltrano]

“I don’t need you to believe it, nor do I need your opinion on it. I hardly use the word parental, that is something I highly doubt I would be.”

[guineverehaloway]

“Oh, so you don’t think you’re the raising a little person, showing affection and love and guiding them every way of their life kinda father type? Could’ve almost fooled me.”

[gxrardobeltrano]

Gerard rolled his eyes “The personality I have has sufficed, and I don’t sound like that at all. If you’re going to mock me at least do it properly, Guinevere.”

[guineverehaloway]

“I have a hard time believing that. And you totally do. My imitations are always spot on.” Gwen said jokingly, flicking her hair back. “And oooh, we’re at full first names now? Are you trying to channel the angry parental figure and reprimand me?”

[cal-herondale-blog]

“It explains why I’m always horny around you. Fun fact.” Calix shrugged his shoulders, not really feeling embarrassed about the fact. How could one not be horny around her? Now that was a good question. Calix’s smile slowly began fading as she kept on talking about this lord. “…So he’s the one who turned you” Calix murmured. Had he been alive he would’ve butchered the bastard not only because of Gwen, but because of every girl who had had to suffer through his fetishes. “What did he- Um-… What did he do to you, Gwen?”

[guineverehaloway]

“Oh, is that so?” Laughter shook her body as she grapped a pillow to throw it at his face, but her face grew more somber when she started to think back again. “Yes, he is.” She replied, before contemplating how much she should reveal about that event. She didn’t really like thinking back to it, never mind talk about it. Even Sky didn’t know all of it. “Well, let’s say abduction was involved. I wasn’t raped in the common sense, if that’s what you’re thinking. But he bit and then snapped my neck and buried me, so I could awaken as a vampire and we would be united in eternity -- which he told me about in a monologue before. It was all very absurd.”

[vstridb]

Wait aren’t you underage?

[guineverehaloway]

I don’t think I’ve been underage for a while, although I might look like it.

[gxrardobeltrano]

“Sugarplums?” Gerard frowned in disgust at the nickname “That’s an interesting opinion you have there, in future just keep it to yourself. You don’t know what you’re talking about.”

[guineverehaloway]

“Cute, right?” Gwen replied with a saccharine smile, choosing to ignore the man’s reaction. “Interesting is the right word. Also wise and true. Like the ‘I am dark, tall and broody and everyone else is inferior and annoying’-thing,” Gwen did an exaggerated imitation of Gerard; scrunching up her face in a moody expression, talking in a deeper voice, “...has kind of been really overdone. You should try out a new personality. Life’ll be so much more fun. Trust me.”

[femkelotte]

Sky grinned at her friend’s discomfort. This meant that things were… at least something. Sky couldn’t remember when the other vampire had been in a relationship that actually could mean something. “Just let me know when it is. May you have better luck with men than I did.”

[guineverehaloway]

“Well, my record’s almost as bad as yours and I didn’t exactly choose the easiest guy this time either.” Gwen blew a strand of hair away from her face, sighing. “But man, I just hate easy and predictable.”

[guineverehaloway]

Gwen started to tattoo the names of people she’s loved and lost over years and decades and centuries onto her skin a long time ago. The names are in morse code, because she likes the idea that the meaning of the tattoos won’t be deciphered immediately. The tattoos are inked onto her left ribcage.

She has accepted the fact that death is part of a mortal’s life, but she adds a tattoo after the funeral of a loved person as a way to honor, immortalize and remember them.

It started with the names of her family; mother, father and brother.

(this is obviously not how the tattoos look, but I don’t know how to manip and wanted to give and example)
