Introduce Your Characters (Part 15)

Jordane: “Hmm…”

“Harpies and griffins. The doctor is a phoenix, pretend you’re tracking him,” Michelle suggests.

“Oh yeah!” And the blood wolf is off with her nose pointed in the air, sniffing.

He follows like a good vamp dog. “Hmm… could be a dimensional thing, maybe they don’t exist here?”

Heather leans over to kiss her cheek. “Can I get you something?” She gestures around the fair after.

“And the blood doesn’t bother you? Impressive,” Eric gasps and orders one more for his sister and a bottle of water for Yessei because he doesn’t want her to feel left out.

Tagif is following warily behind.

Hota: “Mmm. There would be more blood if he was harmed, right?”

haha vamp dog

Sen: “I bet you’re right…” he murmurs. “I should really travel more, you know? Get outside my universe.” He stops outside a thick, pointed-arch door. “How much you wanna bet she’s gonna yell?”

Yessei: “Of course,” she giggles, rubbing her cheek. “Uhm, they’ve got to have some chocolate somewhere, right?”

Anansi: “Nah, it doesn’t. I get enough as it is.” She shrugs.

Gio: “actually, no :sweat_smile:. The bat man wouldn’t waste a meal like that.”

Lockie: “True.”

I just realized that could be his and Jordane’s couple name :joy:

Pat grins: “another taste of blood :vampire:t2:

And lets just say the other group is right on their tail?

Heather: “Oh! Well, they spike it with blood and other treats, but we can ask them to hold that. :smiling_face:

He laughs. “Even though human blood doesn’t interest me I do still get a tingle in the back of my throat whenever it wafts my way. I think it’s a biological thing.”

Hota gulped. “Well… at least he didn’t lick the blood up…?”

Tagif groans. “Really? That’s what you’re thinking about?”

Yeah sure that’ll do it

Sen: “Chill, man.” He opens the door to reveal Izi practicing his speech in a large auditorium.

Lozef: “Your Aotepsi is as bad as my English,” she groans.

Izi: “If it’s as bad as your English then why are you telling me it’s not right?”

Sen gulps: “Hey, Lozef…” The Hero of Earth turns around starkly to face them both.

Yessei nods: “That would be nice.” She pauses. "Chocolate jewelry?

Anansi: “Probably.” She nods. “Technically, we’re Vampires by name–not by blood. Similar characteristics… wrong word in English.” She shrugs. “A good enough word for me though.”

Pat laughs at Sen’s reaction and his words about how Sen could probably successfully model back in his world gets cut short when he spots a grouchy Lozef.

“are you asking if they have some?” Heather giggles.“Not here, but maybe at an art festival. I’ve been seeing some flyers around school.”

“Really? Is it similar to us? Heather and I are dhampirs.” He’s handed some complimentary crunchy blood straws. “Oh, drink with this! It’s so yummy!” He holds it out for Anansi.

Lozef: “What?”

Sen: “Right so he needs blood–”

Tagif: “There they are!” She points from down the hall with Hota standing behind her.

Yessei: “Well let’s take a look around the fair first, I think, and uhh, if some happens to show up then maybe we’ll take a closer gander?” She leans into Heather’s side.

“Mmm. Don’t remember what a Dhampir is.” She tilts her head before taking the straw. “Smells good–blood straw?”

And pat freaks at being caught so he goes all bat and flies into a tiny dark corner of the room. His friends all rush to the room with the curious and concerned others.

Heather rubs her cheek against Yessei. “Alright… Oh, can we do that?” She points to someone making Caricatures of people. “We don’t have any couple things.” She blushed slightly at the realization.

“half vampire, half human vampire blood drinkers in my case.” Eric smiles.“And yeah. It’s a regular straw that they coat in a special powder to get the stuff to stick to it, just makes it a bit tastier.”

“I can go with you, right?” Pryzgoda asks, and Casus nods.

“I think I’m supposed to go to some oasis next. Apparently another portal is supposed to open there, but it’s liked, timed or something?” he says.

:eyes: why do I feel like I know what this is-

June blinks at the noise, and slows her pace.

:eyes:

Pearl looks about ready to float from happiness at all the flowers.

Hello! :blush:

Mo blinks. “Wait… There’s more of the portals you fell out?”

Maybe you do :eyes:

The bell increases its chiming… And then the big cow-headed plant comes into view… Cowplant!

Eve smiles even bigger. “Ooo, smell these.” She points to a very bushy kind of flower.

Casus nods.

“I’m not exactly sure how many there are, but-”

He’s cut off by Pryzgoda reaching into a bag.

“Oh, by the way, I found this…hang on I have a bunch of stuff,” she says as she starts pulling things out.

June yelps, startled.

“What do they smell like?” Pearl says, proceeding to bend over without waiting for an answer :eyes:

Mo watches, curious. “…You’re prepared for an apocalypse?” She made a small giggle.

We’re you right? :joy:

The cow lashes out from its vine stalk, trying to take a nibble… Or a limb. :eyes:

“Different things to different people. I think it smells like candy. Oh, I have one that smells like rotting flesh! :innocent:

Casus makes a noise that sounds like a laugh.

Pryzgoda pulls a rubber fish out of the bag.

Yes :eyes:

June yelps again and jumps backwards a bit.

Pearl sniffs it.

And then there was a big consolidation in the doorway. First, Sen speaks: “Right he needs blood and we thought of asking you.” And then Lozef: “Alright, do you want that in a bottle?” And then Tagif: “Where’d he go???” And then Hota: “Wait, something’s off…”

Izi: “Ok shut up–what’s going on?”

:joy: omg

Yessei: “Oh you’re right–of course! We should totally do that.” She rubs her hand along the small of Heather’s back.

Anansi: “Can you see yourself in the mirror? Can you eat garlic? Can you go indoors at your will?” She paused. “But that’s a good straw–it does really go that extra mile.”

Mo successfully stiffles a laugh when she asks why there is a rubber fish.

Yay hehe

The cow mood again. A yummy chocolate smell emits from it and… Look! Cake!

Whatever you want it to smell like… :eyes:. Just needed a distraction from going to save sissy from the cowplant lol.

“dammit, here, bat man!” Jordane makes kissing noises like she’s trying to lure a puppy back home.

Pat stays hidden hehe.

I can imagine the photos hehe

The artist finishes with the little kid in front of them and there’s no line.

“Now our chance!” Heather gently pulls Yessei.

“see! You should totally see if you can bring one of these to your universe,” he teased and answers all her asked questions with a yes. “But garlic smells weird. I think I may be slightly allergic.”

:joy: this is actually really funny

Hota: “Wait, he turned into a bat?”

Sen and Tagif facepalm in the best guardian-hero pairing of all time.

Lozef: “Wait, who let the bat in?”

Izi’s now floating: “You want me to go grab him?”

Yessei giggles and drifts along with Heather. “This’ll be fun.”

:joy:

Anansi: “Garlic is bad, but I can sure eat it.” She shrugs. “But what’s funny is that uh… well I don’t really live in my universe any more… that place was bad.”

I giggled a bunch at the thought in my head, so had to write it XD

Gio: “Yeah, vamps have cute little bloodsucker forms.”

Lockie: “They’re cute until they get hungry.”

Michelle: “Vamps aren’t themselves when they’re hungry,” she quotes like a great Snickers commercial voiceover.

Lockie: "Maybe we should give him what he wants? :eyes: " She looks at Jordan.

“Nope! Nope! Nope!” Jordan waves her arms frantically.

Heather plops into a stool with another set up for Yessei. The guy doesn’t even talk to them to ask what they want before he starts pulling out different charcoals.

Eric: “Wait, what do you mean you don’t live in your universe? You said you don’t live here, right? Or did I miss that part?”

Sen: “That was the whole plan!” He interrupts. “Ask Lozerief nicely if she can magic up blood and the problem is solved.”

Lozerief: “Then why didn’t you say that?” She huffs. Then she reaches in her pocket to pull out her wallet, and from her wallet she pulls a 20-year-old credit card. In a matter of seconds, it’s a vial of blood.

Yessei sits down gently, leaning against Heather with a huge smile.”

Anansi: “Don’t live here. Don’t live there. Moved universes a lot. Now I live on the boring Earth with my aunt.” She shrugs. “Life is good.”
