Keara Aithne to Peter Parkman: Are you There?

[Peter Parkman]

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

This RP takes place on 2nd March 2014.

<Keara Aithne> Peter? Peter if hear me you do…Need only you do for to think your reply and hear you I shall… Hope I do that interrupting I am not. Know I do not where you are.


<Peter Parkman> IN THE LIBRARY. FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR. IT'S FINE.


<Keara Aithne> Ouch Peter...No need is there for so loudly your thoughts to project. Have you company there? Be you alone?


<Peter Parkman> There are people around but I am by myself. (Almost always by myself).


<Keara Aithne> Aw darkling. Break you do my heart for that to say, but perhaps fitting trait is for path that walk upon you do. Many of those born of shadows anti-social are. Myself included. Effort make I almost daily for that trait to overcome.


<Peter Parkman> I'm not always by myself (you do have Jersey) I don't mind it. I have been since I came to Harper Rock.


<Keara Aithne> Glad I am for that to hear. Alone I was always before I Enver found. Well…almost always. Weeks went by without a word to anyone to say. My childer too much like me perhaps are. Quiet my blood is….Though try I do for that too to change…Peter…Who is Jersey?


<Peter Parkman> You heard that (she heard that)? Uuuuuhm Jersey is a girl I met who was in an accident and who can't remember anything from beforehand and she walks my dogs.


<Keara Aithne> Mhm...Heard you I did. Hear more I do from Enver...when speak thusly we do. Like I do for his thoughts to hear. His voice hypnotic in all forms is...Though...erm...perhaps think that you do not. That my observation alone likely is. So...this the girl is that mentioned in your email you did. What clan is she from?


<Peter Parkman> Enver likes to talk a lot generally so wouldn't surprise me if his thoughts are loud too. Maybe I'm just more paranoid than most even when I'm thinking things (can you see things too or just hear me stop thinking about that Arthur just focus) Clan? What do you mean by clan?


<Keara Aithne> Like I do when talks he does. Talk a lot we both do…To one another…Talk I rarely do with others. Though tendency to ramble have I. Know I that. See things I cannot. No. Even if read I did your memories, no pictures would I see. Like text in a book they would be. Clan. Hmm…Bloodline accurate would not be. Clans all to one source traced can be above whom there is no other. You of my blood are. Your clan is Vedarian. That name was that chose I did for family. And Peter…who is Arthur?


<Peter Parkman> (oh good she stopped asking ... no wait this isn't any better but she is ... you should just trust her) Arthur is me. Who I used to be. My name wasn't always Peter Parkman I'm here as part of the witness protection program and you can't tell anyone because they might find me and I could die.


<Keara Aithne> Care I do not what name you have. Change our names we do in time. Many names over the centuries I have had. Only know I must what name wish you do by which to be called. But questions have…Who you might find? Why might you? And well…what is a witness protection program? Is that what wording suggests it is? Witnessed you did something from which protected you must be?


<Peter Parkman> Yes that's exactly it so I'd prefer it if you call me Peter because no one can know that my name was once Arthur (Pembroke) they're part of a family like the Mafia but not quite the Mafia and I got a bit too close and saw something I shouldn't have and testified against them but there are too many of them and it's a bit of a mess. Please don't tell anyone.


<Keara Aithne> Why would I anyone tell? Of course tell Enver I may as secrets from him I prefer not to keep. But if Peter name is by which wish you do called to be, call you that I shall. Know I do not what Mafia is. Though perhaps matters not that does. Know you do that stronger now you are…yes? Even if kill you they do, return likely you could…If will you had for way home to find.


<Peter Parkman> ....Maybe that's not actually a half bad idea though I don't know if I want to die even if I can come back. They'd think I was dead and then I could be free though I did agree to be protected because they shouldn't get away with it and so long as you can assure me that Enver won't tell anyone, either?


<Keara Aithne> Enver no-one would tell. Die he would for you to protect. Ours you are. And yes…perhaps do that you could…when stronger you are. Want I would not for you in that realm lost to us to be. Like it there I do not. Wish I do not for you there to go…Though die you need not I guess…By our standards. Dead by mortal definition you are.


<Peter Parkman> Charlotte thinks so too, that we are dead. And I don't buy it. I'm walking and talking and thinking and I still have my soul, I am not dead, whether people want to define it like that or not. Definitions are flimsy things that can be broken. I'd prefer no one die to protect me I may appear weak but I might surprise you.


<Keara Aithne> Sure I am that that true is…That surprise me you shall. Mind that I do not. By mortal standards dead we are though. Your heart beats does not. Breathe you do not. Matters not what believe you do, so long as hide you do your true form from all but our kind. Speak of us you never should. Told you that I have already? Yes?


<Peter Parkman> Yes you have and I haven't said a word to anyone and have made a very large fool out of myself to hide it. Say for instance I might perhaps have a human friend, is that something you wouldn't be too thrilled about? Did you get you my email about that creature? Do you know what it might have been?


<Keara Aithne> Oh. Sorry darkling. Read it I did and then distracted I became. Enver that to me does do. From description that gave you did. Sounds does like a fadebeast. Best run from those you should. Doubt I do that kill one you could as young you are. Eat our kind they do. Wish they do for us to kill. Did it you harm? And well…hmmm…Enver human friend has but that his thrall is. Mind that I do not. Though no thrall could you have…yet…of that path you are not.


<Peter Parkman> No it didn't harm me. I didn't see it. Jersey did. I'll keep that in mind, though, for future reference. No I haven't got a thrall and I think I remember you and Enver talking about one the night you ah.... Crash?


<Keara Aithne> Yes. Crash. That his thrall is. Control over him Enver has. Even if admits that he does not. Says he does that Crash his thrall is. Perhaps that too true is. See I do things different from him. Which clan is Jersey from? Answered that you did not. Did she a name give? Grigori, Docere, Worthingtons perhaps?


<Peter Parkman> She doesn't have a clan (because she's not a vampire).


<Keara Aithne> What! Oh…erm…just a friend she is…yes? And told her you have not what you are? Trusted frail creatures cannot be…Well…some can be…others not. If trusted she cannot be, kill her you must. If finds out she does. Know I do not how such a friendship work can. Unless wish you do for her as a childe to take…Wish you that?


<Peter Parkman> No! I mean I haven't thought about it but no, she has too much to worry about already. I am not going to kill her I refuse and I trust her, but she doesn't know anything (she has seen a fadebeast and overheard people in the bank but that's nothing and she doesn't believe any of it anyway). She doesn't know anything.


<Keara Aithne> Hmm…Then…well…erm…Speak perhaps I should with Enver. You first person in family are that friendship retained has with human friend. Aside from Sara. Girlfriend she had when died she did. But hunted our kind already she did. That that relationship to natural end did bring. Perhaps need you do for more siblings to meet. Vampire friends to make. Maybe…Said you did that you Charlotte met? Yes? She your sister is.


<Peter Parkman> Yes I met her. She seemed a bit out of sorts, said she hasn't seen you since you 'killed' her. Is there a reason for that? (I'm not going to end the relationship with Jersey it's not even is it a relationship? I need someone to walk my dogs during the day that's it, and she needs the money to help find her feet and that's it).


<Keara Aithne> That true is. Seen now I cannot be. Though long that shall not last. Sure of that I am. Time with Enver spent must be. Speak with her thusly I shall. Soon. Worry for her I do. Perhaps send I could Deanna for over to watch…though see her she would not…I think…No…Telepath she is, not Mystic. Too young also for more power to have.


<Peter Parkman> I don't mean to undermine your leadership or your authority but I think maybe you should talk to her like you're talking to me now. I hope you are okay wherever you are but I also hope that whatever has taken you away is good reason enough to turn someone and then leave them without much instruction. Though I think she's fine, she said she was getting help from someone else. (Shouldn't have said [thought?] that Arthur you idiot).


<Keara Aithne> Told you already I did that speak to her thusly I shall. And intended I did not for her to turn. Thought I did that she another was. Intended I did for them to kill. When realised did that mistake made I had. Gave her my blood I did. Innocent she was. Allow her to die for my error I could not. Allowed I did my rage, my sense to blind. More control have I need of.


<Peter Parkman> Good, I knew you would and I'm not accusing you of abandonment as you have helped me and I do appreciate it. She just didn't seem very happy and I thought you should know. (don'tcommentonhercontrolissuesdon'tdoit) Who did you mean to kill and why, exactly?


<Keara Aithne> Meant I did for Enver’s previous thrall to kill. When told she was, what we are. React well she did not. My fault was. Assumed I did that Enver his thrall would tell and when died he did, came to me she did. Told her he dead was and that back he would be. Believe me she did not. Tried she did the police to call. Threatened me. Called me crazy. So…Tied her up I did till Enver returned did. Like I do not pets to keep. Knew I did not that fed she must be. Humans eat three times a day…Or so told I was. And cook I do not. Bothersome that was. Tried I did while had her I did for our kind to explain. Anted she did for me to study. Strange look had she. Liked it I did not. Safe she was while Enver’s she was. Controlled she could be. Once released…Well…Needed I did for her to find.

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--



<Peter Parkman> I'm not sure that I'm ever going to be quite so ruthless. I couldn't kill Jersey but she won't know anything about us, not by me anyway I promise please don't kill her, she's fine, she doesn't deserve it and I do like her a lot (goddamnit you didn't have to bite your tongue that hard and now you're oh god that blood tastes wrong wrongwrong).


<Keara Aithne> Ruthless…Ruthless you think me? Hmm…see that I do not. Cautious I am. Passionate. Protect I must our kind. Vampires protected must be from frail things. Think differently you would if kill you they had, as killed me they did. Not so frail they are on mass. Better is cautious to be. Yes. Mhm…Better is. And safe she is so long as knows she does not Peter. Like I do not for innocents to harm. No sport is there in that. So unfeeling I am not. Sound like Enver you do. And why would you your tongue need to bite. Say you may to me whatever you like. Truth like I do.


<Peter Parkman> Because there is no point, is there? I might like her and people say that I need to get out more but as you say she is human, and she can't know what I am, so what if I were to like her more than a friend? Can't really happen, can it? So I need to stop thinking that way and get on with things and keep her at a distance even though I don't want to. I'm sorry they killed you and I don't want you to think that I think that means nothing. I do understand, I do.


<Keara Aithne> And kill her you could. That me more does worry. Fledglings sometime trouble have for to feed and well…if feed you do not overcome you could be by desire to bite her if hungry you are. Known I have some that then stop cannot and the dry do drain. Feed I do daily for such things to avoid. And well…With Enver you need to speak. Tell you he shall how fadebeasts created are…Though...Hmm… perhaps that bad idea is. No experience has he there and thinks he does that lie I do. Created creatures are through vampire unions. Vampire human unions too. Unnatural beings they are. Rip they do through the stomach of the female with intent for her whole to devour. Never have I heard of a human that escaped fate has. Vampires do…occasionally…Very occasionally.


<Peter Parkman> (ohchristArthurnoweveryone'slookingatyougetupgetup) No way! Noway! I don't....I don't ever bite anyone because well the sight of blood I don't like it so much. I go to the shop at the beginning of each night and I make them pour a blood back into a styrofoam cup with a lid so I can't see it so I'm not sure I could. So thanks, now, I can't eat or drink and now I'm never going to have sex. Ever.


<Keara Aithne> Lived I did thusly for four hundred years. So bad it is not. Though…two hundred years in other realm I spent. No form had I there. Hunted I did those that the laws did break…though seems does that vampires of this era less strict are…Speak of sex normally I would not. Easier is when see you I cannot. Tried I did this conversation with Enver to have when met we first did. Tried I did behind a sofa to hide. But…possible is for sex to have. Every union such a creature need not create. Though death sentence if for human female. For vampiric one it used to be…But again things change do and vampires now from the realm can escape. So…consequences less severe are…Though all evidence destroyed must be. If fadebeast your friend saw. Believe I do that female that birthed it dead is. As destroyed it was not.


<Peter Parkman> (fourhundredyears? And I thought two was bad....) Doesn't matter. Jesus. You're telling me it COULD happen, some monster of epic proportions could come clawing its way out of Jersey's--or anyone's--gut like something right out of Alien movie. That's all I'm going to be able to think about while... while, you know. Which will kill all the ... goddamnit. Never.


<Keara Aithne> Miss you do not that which you had never have. Only once had it you have can something missed be. And sorry I am for that to say. But true it is. Know you should. If killed you did another through that information not to have, guilty feel you would. Now choice yours to make is. And hers…If knows she does what consequences are…if vampire she is.


<Peter Parkman> You don't get it though. I mean, thank you, for the information. I appreciate it, would be quite angry if it happened and no one had told me about it. Thing is, though, I'm never going to be able to get that thought out of my head and I'll just wi--(this is kind of like talking about sex with your mother) Can we change the subject?


<Keara Aithne> Oh yes. Change the subject you may. If questions you have. Ask them you can. In library you said you were…and possibly now injured you are…Asked I did not if okay you were…But meant to ask I did. Searching you are for something specific in library?


<Peter Parkman> I just like the library. I like the idea of being surrounded by books (they are a good escape and the place is warm). I may have fallen over again but I'm fine. I'm not at the library anymore. I'm walking. The cold is refreshing.


<Keara Aithne> Hmm…feel you do the elements. Feel them I do not. Know not why. And like to read also I do. Enver films prefers. Good they are. Like them do but…of my time they are not. More used I am for my stories from books to get. Finding I am that science fiction I enjoy.


<Peter Parkman> I'm not completely numb. I can still feel it. It's like ice in my lungs. But it doesn't affect me - I don't shiver, or feel the need to cover up. It was a bit overwhelming to begin with but I'm okay with it, now. I think. I could lend you some of my graphic novels.


<Keara Aithne> Graphic novels? What are they? And like I do for new things to experience. Learn that too perhaps you shall…When life long, time have you for things to try. Bored be I would if new things tried I did not. Enver me lazer tag did take for our first date…That enjoyed I did…Though dressed appropriately I was not. Took me he did too to his theatre for my first film in a cinema to watch.


<Keara Aithne> Owns the theatre in Cherrydale he does. Alone we were. Nice that was as worried I did for the crowds. Odd it was that no-one in there was but then different film he showed I believe from what advertised was.


<Peter Parkman> You say that I sound like Enver. But he seems like the kind of guy who doesn't mind crowds. I don't like them so much. I didn't know he owned a theatre (maybeyoucouldtakeJersey). Graphic novels are well, people call the comics but I prefer Graphic Novel. Books, with art. About superheroes, mostly.


<Keara Aithne> Oh. Like art too I do. Draw I do…And paint…And design clothing…My own store I have…And learning I am for tattoos to do. Think I do that that fun can be. Right now draw I do on Enver for flesh a different canvas is and want I do for it first to understand. Like I would for a Graphic Novel to read. And sound sometimes you do like Enver. Not so much as Robert does. But sometimes things that say you do, hear I can in his voice. Things that written too have been in family forum.


<Peter Parkman> Well given how you have a knack to include Enver in most conversations and the way you talk about him, I'll take that as a compliment. I'll go back to the cabin now. I'll bring some Graphic Novels for you - though when will I actually see you next?


<Keara Aithne> Compliment it is. Perhaps. Love him I do. Only meant I did that when spoke earlier you did, the way in which spoke you did of the frail things me of him did remind. And on family board, see I his spirit in you. Like that I do. And…well…know that as yet I do not. Leave the novels in the Asylum you could. Then collect them I can when return I do.


<Peter Parkman> So you think if I were to have that same conversation with Enver, that he wouldn't care that I spend time with a human? I'm not so far off human myself, you know. It might easier for you to differentiate but I don't see how this change makes me any less human. Not in the ways that matter.


<Keara Aithne> Define I do our kind differently perhaps. Appreciate I do our origins. But once turned you are from that race…species…or whatever correct classification be would, believe I do that we no longer are. Different we are. Changed. Human life our own does sustain. Difficult is my beliefs to describe. Perhaps liken it you could to ascension of some kind. Know I do not. Only of that world we no longer.


<Keara Aithne> Seems does to me that you and Enver different classification have. Speak you do of your core being. Speak I do of the physical plane.


<Peter Parkman> We would be nothing on the physical plane if we did not have a core being. I have read a lot about vampires while at the library. So many seem to think that vampires are demons. That we are evil, that we do not have souls. I think a lot about where I soul might reside, and I don't think it resides in brain or in heart, but it is something different. I am still who always have been.


<Peter Parkman> I am just capable of more, of different things. Physically, yes, I am different. I am vampire. At my core, though, in my soul, I am still human.


<Keara Aithne> Changed much I have not from when human I was but classify myself as such I would not. Though…You young are. So change that might. Enver too. This earth longer as a vampire I have roamed. Barely remember I do what it was like for so frail to be.


<Peter Parkman> I like it. It worries me how many would be changed and who would completely forget, immediately, who they are or who they were. I suppose those are the ones who are hunted. The ones who get out of control. When the power goes to their head.


<Keara Aithne> That possible is. In my time different it was, so powerful so quickly we did not become. But that story is for another day perhaps. Liked I have with you thusly to speak. Your mind quiet place to be is. Used I am for in Enver’s mind to be. Leave you be I shall now. Hope I do that careful you are. Wish I do not for you harmed to be.


<Peter Parkman> Thank you. I think. Maybe I'll talk to Enver normally rather than.... like this, given that warning. I'll try not to fall out of a chair or... walk in front of a car, next time you talk to me. Like this. Talk to you soon.


<Keara Aithne> Enver this form of the power does not have. So no trouble that shall be. Speak he can into your mind. But hear he will not your reply. Hear I do not replies…unless sustain the connection I do. And do this I seldom do. Be safe in the darkness Peter.
