Jason Lang

I'm Jason, I'm twenty-five and I don't know what is happening to me. Oh, yeah and I am a vampire... Just.

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[emiliaxcourtier-deactivated2014]

What happened?

[superjasonlang]

I... I woke up and she was there and I don't know what happened.

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

Are you really asking someone who’s been eating by killing people for the last thousand years if killing your girlfriend is bad? She was going to die anyway once connected with a vampire, like I said. So far though, you don’t seem to be… having a meltdown.

[superjasonlang]

I don't know... Like I always knew there was something going on here. Was always told don't go out too far at night but I thought there was just a crime ring. Not this.

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

You’re taking this well. How quickly did you feed?

[superjasonlang]

I... She was the one that woke me up.

Is that bad?

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

Not sure yet. Apparently I’m in a good mood. Any other day I’d have ripped you to shreds. You are lucky. Best not to pull at the threads of temporary allegiances, hm?

[superjasonlang]

Of course. Don't want to die only just being undead.

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

No. Look, kid, here’s the deal. You need blood, a daylight ring and an affinity for lying and you’ll be fine. Besides, now that I’ve helped you, I’ll be damned if some bloody hybrid is going to bite you tomorrow. So consider this my defence. Until you catch up.

[superjasonlang]

But... I'm weak? You said any other day you would of killed me. Why would you help?

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

Assuming same age, blood, everything else. It would come down to who was more skilled and who was more sadistic. But theoretically, they’d be equally matched.

[superjasonlang]

So at this rate I will die tomorrow?

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

Why? Because otherwise you’d be dead rather than undead? A number of things. Age. Ability. How recently you’ve had blood and how much.

[superjasonlang]

So who would be stronger, an Olympic athlete or a singer? If all other variables were the same?

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

Me on a bad day. Or someone who saw a newbie vampire and decided easier to kill them off now. No, you’re right, you’re lucky.

[superjasonlang]

Well, I am glad we started on the right track. What decides a vampires strength?

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

Welcome to the Afterlife. I’m Aurora. And I’m… sorry, I guess, if I’m being awful. Someone called me short this morning. I don’t like being called short.

[superjasonlang]

Not awful... I guess I could of had worse. I could be out here and someone else came through. Someone not as nice as you were.

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

Well, I’m helping. Mostly because I’m in a good mood, but that’s besides the point.

Ah. Well, advance revenge. No one else ever has to know she was going to leave you. Trust me, when you’re the undead, it’s just not worth it.

[superjasonlang]

I'm Jason, by the way.

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

You’ll figure it out. Tell you what, I’ll help you find the ones you hide from. The rest is on you. Like I said, I’m not babying you.

Well, at the risk of sounding like the callous bitch I am, it’ll be better off in the long run. I’ll give you a thousand year old piece of advice. The people that hang around vampires either turn or die. They’ll be killed to spite you, killed in spite of you or you’ll do it yourself. At least now, it’s over with.

[superjasonlang]

Thank you. I don't baby sitting. I just don't know what is happening.

It's okay, she was going to dump me anyway. 

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

This entire place is swimming with vampires, werewolves, hybrids and witches.

Mm. So you were either turned for sport or for a reason. Got a girlfriend? Maybe a boyfriend?

[superjasonlang]

But how do I know who is who?

Uh... I had one... She... I... Instincts happened, I guess.

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

Yes, a witch. You’ll get a sunlight ring. A piece of jewellery that’s charmed so that you can go out in the sun and not burn to death. I have one too. I won’t die though.

You don’t know who turned you? Wow. That’s kind of sad.

[superjasonlang]

And where do I find one?

I got knocked out.

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

Don’t go around telling everyone who you are. Act normal. If you out yourself, I’ll probably kill you myself. Or wait for a werewolf to do it. There’s a rivalry. Almost everyone who’s been around knows me - or at least of me - but not you. You’re safe while you’re hidden. So stay hidden. 

It’s not my responsibility to protect you. I’ve already done more than I had to just by explaining all this. You need a witch. I can help you find one. But I’m not babying you, got it? Who turned you?

[superjasonlang]

Stay hidden... Got it. A witch? 

I... I don't know... 

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

Cute. I hate that franchise. It’s embarrassing. The sunlight will kill you. 

Now let me explain something else. My name is Aurora Markinof. I am one of 5 original vampires. There are also hybrids and werewolves. Between the 5 original vampires, you would be dead before you blinked if you annoyed one of us. A werewolf bite will kill you. So will a hybrid bite. Normal vampires, you’ve got a fighting chance. Not with me and not with Aleksander, Sebastian, Sage or Brayden. Be careful who you piss off. And don’t mock us again. Because I’ve killed more people than you’ve met in your life.

[superjasonlang]

How do I tell who is who?

Just some other lore? Sunlight? What do I do?

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

Ha, no. Take it from a thousand and something year old vampire who everyone thinks is in innocent 18 year old. You’re dead. This isn’t a nightmare you’re going to wake up from. Killing whoever you killed to turn isn’t going to go away. You may as well get over it. You’re a killer. You’re one of us. Live with it.

[superjasonlang]

So what now? Stay away from cows and avoid sparling in the sunlight?

[superjasonlang]

Someone help me!

[ncttoday]

You’re cute, so I’m not going to just end this drama for you by killing you. You look about 20, maybe, so I’m going to assume you’re not vague enough to not know what sucking someone’s blood means. You’re a vampire. Yay, you’re now dead, you stop ageing and you should avoid stakes to the heart. You’re also going to need a witch.

[superjasonlang]

I'm a what? That can't be right, this is just some dream and I'll wake up and everything will be okay. Right?
