Yo, you're in the end zone with no blockers, ready to get tackled? fangs gleam in the dim light, her stance predatory.
UnicornWhisperer
What?
Look, you punk. I've been watching you. You like to sneak around, going behind people's backs, being all mysterious. Not cool, man. her voice rises in anger
UnicornWhisperer
?..so do you.
Hey now, don't turn this around on me. I'm just looking out for the little guy. You think you can just waltz in here, being all secretive and stuff, and not expect me to notice? Well, I see through your sneaky tactics. You're up to something, I can tell. And I won't stand for it. Now spill it - what's your game?
UnicornWhisperer
….your an extrovert….but your secretly a vampire….im actually pretty surprised nobody noticed yet…..
laughs awkwardly What, did I say something weird? Oh, never mind. What I wanted to talk to you about is… well, actually I'm not quite sure how to say this... looks nervous
UnicornWhisperer
.....thats actually really interesting......i mean everybody knows vampires are reclusive.....
Right, so like, I'm kinda in a bind here. You see, I've got this major crush on someone, okay?
UnicornWhisperer
Cool huh?
Yeah, I mean, it's cool. The thing is, this person I'm crushing on, they don't exactly know how to handle it. They keep trying to back away from me, and I'm like, 'Hey, wait, hold on! Don't go!' grabs at your shirt, pulling you towards her
UnicornWhisperer
Yeah its hard to explain to people who havent been bitten by a vampire before...some are understanding...while others are terrified or try to kill you.....while still others use it as an advantage over you...
Man, you really know your stuff! But hey, listen, this person I'm crushing on, they're totally freaking out, you know?
UnicornWhisperer
Hey...it happens sometimes....and honestly....sometimes i wish i could love somebody....its rare that a vampire gets to be a parent and its rarer that if they do...their child isnt turned into a vampire....but since most other races have a long life....they usually grow apart.....its hard to raise a kid when you'll turn them into a vampire eventually....you eventually have to move on once their old enough....a few races have aging supression charms but we dont.....so....yeah....its complicated
Damn, dude, you really opened up there. That's deep. looks away, slightly uncomfortable Well, anyway, back to my problem. So, like, this person I'm crushing on, they keep telling me to back off, but I'm all like, 'Dude, come on! Can't we just hang out? Maybe we can even get together!' You know what I mean?
UnicornWhisperer
Yeah.....alot of stuff has changed since im undead....some things have gotten worse while others have gotten better....one good thing is that emotional damage no longer exists....so i dont have to worry about getting depressed and theres no way to manipulate me emotionally...other than my own guilt...but ive learned to live with that....emotional manipulation was a bitch when i was alive tho....but like i said.....alot has changed....one thing thats gotten worse is the violence against us....theres only 2 groups in the world that dont recognize our existence.....and in the wars they use magic....so its no longer a fair fight
Damn, that's heavy, man. I had no idea things were that rough for vampires. But hey, don't get me wrong, I'm sorry you had to go through all that. But like, back to my situation, right? So, this person I'm crushing on, they keep telling me to back off, but I'm all like, 'Dude, come on! Can't we just hang out? Maybe we can even get together!' You know what I mean?
UnicornWhisperer
You mean like the teenagers finding out their partner is a vampire? ...thats rough....a lot of teenage relationships end when one of the partners finds out the other is a vampire because the family and friends get involved....but if you find someone willing to accept you for who you are......then those fights make sense....if you find someone who will stand by your side then you already have a lifelong friend....and eventually partner for life
You know, you really hit the nail on the head there. It's like, if this person could just see past all the myths and stereotypes, they'd realize that I'm a cool, fun person too. It's frustrating, you know? Like, I get that they're scared, but can't they just give me a chance? I promise I won't bite... hard. winks and sticks her tongue out playfully
UnicornWhisperer
....chuckle.....heh.......
Alright, enough serious stuff. Let's lighten the mood a bit, shall we? So, like, you ever heard the one about the vampire who walked into a bar? laughs and leans in closer, waiting for the punchline
UnicornWhisperer
Hmmm......no....why?
grins mischievously Alright, here it goes. So, this vampire walks into a bar, right? And he says to the bartender, "Got any type-O negative?" she chuckles, clearly amused with her own joke
UnicornWhisperer
Heh........ok....wow.....just wow.....i mean for a nerd.....your pretty funny.....but lets get back to your situation...you obviously feel safe enough to open up to me....do you have a name?
Yeah, sorry about that one. Got carried away with my nerdy humor. So, yeah, my name's Emily. Nice to meet you, dude. gives a fist bump And yeah, I guess I do feel safe talking to you. I mean, you seem cool and all. So, back to my situation. What should I do? How can I get this person to see past all the vampire stereotypes and give me a chance?
UnicornWhisperer
if they are adamant about you being evil......then theres nothing you can do other than wait for them to mature.....if theyre afraid of you killing them....then you need to show them that your a vampire......by using magic to drain their blood a little bit to show em that you dont need it
Wow, that's some intense advice, dude. Draining their blood? That's hardcore. But hey, desperate times call for desperate measures, right? I mean, if they're just scared of vampires in general, maybe I can show them that I'm different. You know, break some stereotypes and all that jazz. Any other suggestions?
UnicornWhisperer
Just be yourself, show them your human side...well no...since youre a vampire....show them your nonviolent vampire side....its gotta be real if you want them to believe it
Yeah, you're right. Gotta be myself if I want to win them over. Show them that not all vampires are blood-sucking monsters. I can do that. So, what's the best way to do that? Should I invite them over to my place? Or maybe plan a fun activity together? Any ideas, man?
