[there's a frazzled shapeshifter on your screens today, imPorts. He rubs a hand against his mouth and the scruff of his chin awkwardly, like he's going to make an effort to collect his thoughts - then promptly throws that plan out the window.]

Hey, uh. Sorta a specific question, but has anyone ever... lost track of a day and shown up at the Porter? With somethin' changed? Is that just - somethin' that happens on top of all the other weird shit this place does to a person?

Well, shit. Congratulations. Ya'll get a place with a white picket fence yet?

[hisheartsdesire]

Not quite yet, but who knows?

[Toby's comfortable with just the two of them in their little Maurtia Falls apartment, but Dorian's room is a tiny bit more than cramped.]

I think there's still time to get that all sorted. Need room for all my video games, after all. [Said with a chuckle.]

[shifting]

You're kiddin' me. A vampire who plays video games.

I'm not sure why that surprises me so much, but it really does.

[hisheartsdesire]

[Chuckling,] Well, everyone's got to have a hobby. Vampires included.

Do you play any, yourself?

[shifting]

No, sorry. Can't say I ever got into it. Parents were a little too Christian to have a system in the house when I was a kid, I think I missed the window.

[hisheartsdesire]

See, now that's a crying shame. Though now that you're a big boy, maybe pop on by sometime, and we can try some out here.

[Toby's got a variety, surely there's something Sam might be interested in.]

[shifting]

Oh, yeah? Can't say I've ever actually been to a vampire's house before.

[which he plays off as a joke, but - that's actually giving him pause.]

...But maybe in the name of figurin' out what the video game appeal is.

[hisheartsdesire]

That would be delightful! That is, if you don't mind that my place is Dorian's as well. How do you get on with him?

[He knows a ton of people who can't abide Dorian, after all.]

[shifting]

...Our first conversation didn't go great. But I can't say I've even talked to him since then.

[hisheartsdesire]

Right. I suspected as much. Still, the invitation stands.
