      “I can’t believe that I’m even saying this, but you’re like a hell of a lot less manipulative — and, you know, sinister — than first impressions would suggest." And yes, it did sound as strange to admit vocally as it had done inside his head.

     A number of responses filtered with haste into his mind -- some more caustic than others. It was for the best to keep it simple, he supposed.

     "People see what they want to."

I have drafts. I have a long headcanon that I should finish. Well, the first of three parts at least.

All in all, I have things to do.

... -- and yet, I'm sifting through Chat Roulette with an Iron Man mask on and not saying a word 'cause you can't make me. 

This is a little more disturbing than I expected it to be.

      "— be that as it may, I’m not sure if I’m used to your brand of honesty just yet. But there’s something to be said when it’s actually preferred over the alternative. … You know, shockingly enough, I won’t disagree with that. Assuming we’re not talking about Aidan and his remarkably transparent mantra of ‘I’m fine’s?"

     "People have an easier time accepting the notion of manipulation or something similar to it from me than much else," Bishop's shoulders arched into a lackadaisical shrug. Verily, as skillful as he was with subtly and deceit, he had a penchant for being brutally honest more often than not. "Ah, no. I'm talking about someone else."

      “Yeah, somehow that’s more disturbing than reassuring. He told them they’d only need a ‘sip,’ but evidently their interpretation was a little loose. … I didn’t m— I know that it wasn’t you who made that call, I was just — ranting, apparently. To you of all people. I think that’s like the apogee of stress indicators."

[thisisntxcheckmatearchive-blog]

     "-- never meant for it to be. Just being honest. I do that quite often, which seems to surprise most. Hm -- it is a bit difficult to tell the difference between you ranting and you... being you. Eh... more people do that than you might realize. I don't mind. It's better than repressing everything 'cause I can point you to someone whose a prime example of reasons to not do that."

[almostxnormal]

      “Essentially. Yes. — I’m supposedly off-limits, according to the terms and conditions of Aidan’s big reveal, but he’s already had to stake someone for not adhering to that. The side effects didn’t stop a trio of angry vampires from draining a friend of mine, either. Not to sound like a douche but I’m thinking it may have been wiser to not send out a broadcast about the ‘magical elixir.’" 

[thisisntxcheckmatearchive-blog]

     "You are. A stake isn't how repercussions will be gone about if the ' terms and conditions ' are violated, either. That would be because not many know about said side effects. Hm -- ? ... and you make it sound as though I'm the one who ' broadcasted. ' I was kind of preoccupied at the time, don't forget."

      “Yeah, suddenly painfully aware of the ‘human’ thing. But I did catch that flu, so I guess there’s a small concession if any vampire tries to eat me. … Granted, being a werewolf isn’t much of a deterrent anymore." 

[thisisntxcheckmatearchive-blog]

     "-- nothing says ' screw you ' like drawn out disintegration. Right... magical elixir. It is a deterrent for those that know of the side effects."

[almostxnormal]

      "— which is not unappreciated. And I say that sincerely." 

[thisisntxcheckmatearchive-blog]

     "I'd imagine so. Human, vampire -- odds really aren't in your favor if we decided to Fight Club right now."
