[They can sense a vampire close by.]
@black-iris-duchess
(They groan slightly.)
Hey uh.. Marcie is it? Do you think you could check that out, I still feel really giddy.
..Sure, giddy?
Sorry. That’s ah.. Australian slang, for dizzy.
Ohh..
Yeah, alright.
(Ilya can hear the voice of a teenage girl calling out.)
Hello??
Daisy?
[Ilya calls out tentatively. Her voice has changed between identities before. Maybe this one's her.]
Oh, uh no my name’s Marcie. Can I help you?
I'm...I'm looking for a little vampire who has short brown hair and a brown jacket.
[He doesn't reveal himself. His accent is clearly Russian though.]
By little you mean.. like teenager? Not off the top of my head, although there was a commotion earlier.
Wait, Russian accent.. are you that guy who drank off the Australian person?
Didn’t get their name.
(She has the core of a sonal energetic.)
I mean I don’t know many vampires with a Russian accent but alright..
Sorry, I don’t know where your friend is.
They tend to stay out of America.
I see. I will continue my search elsewhere.
Would you like help?
I uh.. my hearing’s slightly better than most people cause I’m a sonal energetic.
...
Yes.
Great! Uh, give me a sec.
(The flashlight of a phone starts to get closer as she walks over. Marcie has dyed long blond hair with the roots showing and brown eyes. She doesn’t look like Daisy.)
@black-iris-duchess
[He's tall, but shorter than Allan and has short black hair and the characteristic grey eyes of a vampire. He shies away from the light, but he doesn't run.]
Sorry, sorry.
(She turns it off.)
I’m uh.. sure you can guide us around. Can vampires see in the dark?
We can.
Great!
I guess we can keep looking then. What’s her name?
(Ilya can sense the faint core of a vampire nearby.)
Daisy. She is my little sister.
Oh, that’s sweet! How old is she?
Turned when she was fourteen and it has been...one, two, three...six years. So she is twenty now.
Hm! So we’re around the same age look wise. Well, I’m a year older.
You look around 20.
I was turned when I was twenty. It is difficult not to look that age.
(She nods.)
Can I ask how old you are?
One hundred and eight.
Well, you look great for.. 108!
Christ you are...
There is a vampire aura in your home. Who?
Oh uhhh…
Well, I know who. But it’s a.. pack secret?
How long?
Sorry?
How long has it been a pack secret?
Uh, only a few months.
That is not her.
What?
(She tilts her head.)
I do not trust easy. I am sorry.
Oh, uh yeah, no problem. I’m just a bit confused.
I had assumed you were lying.
Ahh.. uh no, I’m not.
You are not.
Yeah, well, let's uhh.. start looking then, Ilya!
(She starts walking with him. A few seconds later, they hear a thump from the medical room.)
Uhhh..
(She looks confusedly at Ilya.)
Clumsy humans...
[He goes to check what's happened.]
(Hunter is face down on the floor and clearly seems annoyed by it. Marcie is trying to hide a laugh.)
...You okay, dude?
..I heard you say Ilya so I was trying to get up to see why he was here...
Idiot.
[He picks them up and sets them back on one of the cots.]
I did not tell either of you my name.
(They look disgruntled. Their mask is off.)
Yeah uhh.. we heard it. Through the grapevine.
What grapevine?
Well, you were called Iris’s guard, and like you said, there’s.. not a lot of Russian vampires in America, so it’s not too hard to narrow it down.
Why have you not threatened me?
I’m just a healer in training, I’m not much of a threatener-
(She jokes.)
Um, you’re looking for someone so it’s.. it’s fine we can help you with just that. Do you.. want another bag of blood?
I'm not hungry. Your offer is kind though.
Full off of me?
(They say snarkily.)
Do you want to be bitten again?
Oh, please do, sir bodyguard.
You are serious?
Why wouldn’t I be?
(They sound sarcastic.)
…Okay, don’t do anything crazy while I’m here..!
Freaky Americans and their biting kinks.
[He rolls his eyes.]
Stay in bed, hunter. We're leaving.
How’d you know my name?
Your name is stupid and self explanatory. That's how.
Yeah? What’s Ilya mean then?
(They lean a bit towards him.)
Мой Бог — Яхве.
My god is Yahweh.
Interesting.
Are you religious?
No. My mother was Jewish.
Me neither. Religious that is.
I see.
Was my blood good?
It was better than rat blood.
Oh, wow. Really putting me on a pedestal.
I am not a...connoisseur of blood. There is just human blood and animal blood. I had rat blood most recently before you, and human blood is better than rat blood so...
I’m just yanking your chain.
I do not have a chain...?
Sorry, uh.. it’s like a phrase. Means I’m just messing with you. Teasing?
Both are acceptable answers.
Have a favorite kind of anima blood?
Ox blood.
Interesting. What’s my blood taste like?
Salt and iron.
I do like chips.
(They say sarcastically.)
That's just how blood always tastes.
Oh, well I didn’t know that. Thank you for informing me.
You are strange. I don't know if I like that.
That’s my charm.
(They wink.)
