[Godric is on your screen, half bent over with his fangs popped and blood dripping down from his chin down his chest. He's shirtless and in the room of someone. It's dark but there's dark stains behind him and he's probably lying in a fair bit of it.

There's a maniacal look in his eye. Something has awoken and it's old. Gone is the sad, tired look of a sixteen year old ancient. Instead he is lusting after all he's kept inside for nearly a century.]

I grow bored already. [Said in a thick accent over his fangs.] I thirst for more.

[It's not so much a challenge. He's two thousand years old. Siren's Port, get ready for a blood bath.]

ooc: so this is one half of the vampire duo that is going to tear up the city. It was mentioned on the ooc comm. Any comments, etc post them there.

This isn't what I wanted, Godric.

[ He shook his head, just for a moment, but there was nothing he could say, really. It was true that he had wanted Godric back, but not like this. Not like this. ]

You spent ten centuries teaching me control. Ten centuries.

[olderthanyourjesus]

And did you ever listen?

[He just looks back at him. He knows. He knows he's not in control. Most of it is driving him crazy, but there's something freeing about it.]

[manofthenorth]

To a point. I learnt to be careful. You taught me that every person has a choice, because you gave me such a choice yourself. When people torture and kill vampires for their blood, they have made a choice. When they scheme against us, they make a choice. A choice between life and death.

You taught me to choose my victims, Godric, but always to offer that choice. Life and death. Is that not so?

What are you feeling now?

video;

[olderthanyourjesus]

I did choose. I chose this person. [It may have been an impulse, but it was very much his choice.]

What am I feeling? Apathy, hunger, annoyance mainly.

[manofthenorth]

Come to me, Godric. I will help contain you, control you, protect you. I cannot do that while you run free.

[olderthanyourjesus]

I do not need my Childe to take care of me. I existed for a thousand years before you. [Of course he was exiled for a long bout of that.]

video;

[manofthenorth]

Then you are refusing.

video;

[olderthanyourjesus]

And what if I am?

video;

[manofthenorth]

I just want it to be clear. I asked you to come to me, and you refused.

[olderthanyourjesus]

[He watches him skeptically. He knows Eric too well, knows how calculating he can be.]

You're up to something.

video;

[manofthenorth]

I always am, Godric.

You could order me to tell you.

video;

[olderthanyourjesus]

I have only ever once ordered you do to something recently. I intend to keep it that way.

video;

[manofthenorth]

So you are still decent. You still give me a choice.

video;

[olderthanyourjesus]

I have not stopped being me.

I decided I was hungry.

video;

[manofthenorth]

I see that now.

Godric, please see that this doesn't get out of hand. I will not be held responsible.

video;

[olderthanyourjesus]

I never said it was your responsibility. I have never been your responsibility.

video;

[manofthenorth]

Things are different here.

Re: video;

[olderthanyourjesus]

I am your Maker. That has not changed.

Re: video;

[manofthenorth]

No, but the rules have. This city is too small, as I told you before.

video;

[olderthanyourjesus]

It does not mean that I am your responsibility. If you wish to no longer be associated, you are free. You have been. [Not that the hurt isn't written on his face, but he's simply acting on any emotions that he manages to feel.]

video;

[manofthenorth]

Godric. I am a vampire. You are a vampire. We come from the same world. You made me. I can no more take that back than I can turn myself into a frog, and other people will feel the same.

video;

[olderthanyourjesus]

It is still a choice.

video;

[manofthenorth]

And as such I cannot make it for them. They will associate us.

video;

[olderthanyourjesus]

It is not a known fact.

video;

[manofthenorth]

It is sufficiently known, Godric.
