maskormenace | audio; his [ two ] bated breaths

[The voice here has a Northern English accent.]

It's been months since I've used this thing. Never really was in the habit before, but I think I might change all that. Anyway, hello everyone; Tobias Matthews here. Seems there have been many imPorts coming and going since I got out of prison—oh, yeah. For those of you who don't know me or are out of the loop since a couple months back, I put myself in prison for siring natives. I'm a vampire. Might as well get that out of the way. More on that later... now where was I?

Ah, about people coming and going... Anyone able to contact Drew Warner recently? He's not the sort who'd let his powers get nullified without making a scene. So if no one else got a hold of him, I guess it's safe to say he's been exPorted.

[Which is strangely disappointing, but like he's going to admit it.]

I guess that's really all I'd wanted to say. Questions, comments, or perhaps more about prison or being a vampire...? [There's brief silence, then a small resigned sound.] You know, why not, feel free to reply or whatever.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[ Didn't Drew kill him? Even if it was an accident, Sasha doesn't know if she would want to keep in contact with someone who did that. ]

Did they put you on probation?

[ She's not asking in the hopes he is, it's just simple curiosity. ]

[Not much to say about the rest of it, but he'd feel bad if he didn't at least offer:]

Need blood?

Toby!

But you have been released?

[ for fuck's sake jesse pinkman hide your shame, hide your masochism ]

Oh. Hullo, Toby.

[ Her voice is a touch hesitant. ]

I'm glad to hear that you're being open about the vampire thing.

You never even looked at it?

[Riku always latches on to the most important thing in a statement. It's meant as a greeting, though.]

He's good, thanks.

[ said in the most passive aggressive and bitchy tone Dorian can muster. ]

[ Dorian....is straight up filming this from work, as he's slouched over the bar and giving the camera a small slightly dopey grin. ]

I haven't seen Drew around lately—sorry that he left, by the way.

[ who are we kidding, Dorian is freaking stoked, suck it werewolf bond. ]

How long have you been a vampire for?

Do you find it difficult, having to wait for an invitation before wandering into places?

Wait, you put yourself in prison? Why would you subject yourself to that?

[That's a fucking weird thing to get jealous over.]

Good. The last thing we need is imPorts eating people.

Aren't vampires supposed to keep themselves secret? You are not doing a very good job.

[ Letting a leech walk free...

Of all the things he's had to witness, this one is pretty infuriating, but it won't show in his voice. No, Nicolas would prefer to keep himself sounding fairly neutral, almost bored even. ]

Do you regret it? What you did?

[Not that Toby knows Sasha's thoughts, but if he did, he'd mention that his relationship with Drew was as confusing as it was unavoidable. Especially thanks to the bond they'd shared after Toby's death.

There's a touch of defensiveness in Toby's voice when he answers,] No, they didn't. Probably because I wasn't actually apprehended. Wouldn't have guessed turning myself in had that sort of advantage.

No, he's got the right of it. I'm good here, thanks.

For now, that is. Don't mind Dorian, he can't help himself sometimes. Still, I appreciate the offer—might I keep you in mind in case he's... indisposed?

[Frustrated:] Excuse me, I don't eat people; I feed from them. Though I can't even really do that anymore. At least, not just any person, and even then, there are... terms and conditions.

[So to speak. Thanks Sabriel.]

Yeah.

[Seriously, what the fuck, Dorian?]

Look, I don't mean anything weird by it. I donate a ton of blood already since I regenerate fast. There's a lot to spare.

Whatever you wanna call it.

[He doesn't especially care about the details.]

[He's a little surprised at Lucy's response here. Then again, perhaps she's become more accustomed to using the comms?]

Oh! Yes, Lucy. I was released on the thirtieth, last month, though I wanted things to settle down some before putting anything on the network. Things seem turbulent in the world outside prison walls... How have you been faring in all the commotion?

[He sounds a little embarrassed.]

Ah, well... Thanks. [Slightly more tired,] It used to be easier, and I guess more important, to keep it secret back home.

But when everyone starts spilling the secret or figuring it out and getting all up in arms about it—I figure I might as well say it straight instead of others making me out to be someone or something else.

Well...And it would be nice if everyone felt comfortable, being open about who and what they are, wouldn't it?

What&mdash? [He feigns surprise here.] No, I mean. Of course I've looked at it! There just has. Been. So much going on that I didn't have much to say. It's not as if I could get actively involved while in prison.

[Still, he laughs.] Thanks for the snacks, by the way. They were really good.
