For @strongnarrativevoice

[regal_magus]

[Cont from here]

Ah but perhaps the skill with which you do it is the power.

For @annarr

[regal_magus]

[Cont from here]

But those things hardly glitter and shine in the same way!

For @youreflammable

[Cont from here]

Trust me, I know. It took me over two centuries to open my heart again.

[youreflammable]

Centuries.

Crowley. It's never going to open again.

[regal_magus]

Must you use his name? He's annoying.

And you're likely wrong. You're young and at your core, human. I've known plenty of vamps to fall in love again far sooner.

[youreflammable]

What, you know the actual Aleister Crowley?

There's nothing human about me and maybe that was the real problem.

[annarr]

The novelty is half the fun.

[regal_magus]

I suppose it could be. But they don't last.

[regal_magus]

We met once. He's a bore.

There is plenty human about you. Vampires always forget that.

[youreflammable]

Then I feel less bad about cursing a fucking bore.

You say that like you've been one.

[regal_magus]

Yes, but he's not that even interesting to swear on.

No, but I've helped 'raise' a lot of fledgelings, my dear boy.

[youreflammable]

Don't tell me you've been to Las Vegas.

[regal_magus]

Even centuries old Warlocks like showgirl performances and stage magic.

I actually taught Teller some of his skills you know. Charming man. His voice is too beautiful to be believed.

[annarr]

What does?

[youreflammable]

Knew the bastard wasn't really a mute.

[regal_magus]

Of course he isn't. He's been interviewed before my dear boy. He talks to Penn. He's quite vocal. Most magicians have some sort of stage gimmick, often a behavior or what they wear, to make them more 'memorable'

[regal_magus]

Us.

[annarr]

A kind way of putting it.

All the more reason to appreciate novelty, isn't it?

[regal_magus]

Novelty is valuable in some manners, yes.

[youreflammable]

Never been able to trust stage magicians. Too much flash.

[annarr]

There he is. He's a good sport.

[regal_magus]

Said as if I don't have flash.

[regal_magus]

There he is. Condescending, but still pleasant for it.

[annarr]

It takes one to know one, etc etc xxx

[regal_magus]

At least you give as good as you get.

[annarr]

Where's the fun in anything less?

[regal_magus]

Some suggest that one should be more considerate.

[annarr]

Do you suggest it?

[regal_magus]

I'm old enough to know that consideration is only really worth it when it is offered in return.

[annarr]

Then someone has to be the first to give, don't they.

[regal_magus]

They do. I suppose normally it should be the younger if you believe society.

[annarr]

Do you believe in society, then?

[regal_magus]

Of course I do. Society is where wine comes from and I like wine.

[annarr]

You first, then.

[youreflammable]

Said as if I know you very well.

[regal_magus]

I suppose that's fair.

[regal_magus]

You are my elder, and I respect your mercurial nature. There.

[annarr]

[regal_magus]

And now I feel like the old one.

[annarr]

Is it not considerate to engage you in the language of the youths?

[regal_magus]

I think after two centuries I don't have an obligation to keep up with it. They keep changing it.

[annarr]

You don't think that's fascinating?

[regal_magus]

Of course it's fascinating. But I'm not going to learn it all. It changes so fast.
