[Mina's sitting at a desk of some kind, leaned back, feet propped up and crossed at the ankles. She has a relaxed air, despite putting ample amounts of willpower into ensuring that her image comes through on the feed.

For a moment, she plays with the earring in her right ear (she doesn't wear on in the left), her tongue running over the tips of her teeth.]

Well. Now that we've made it through this sensational ordeal of seeing life through each other's eyes, embracing our differences, and coming together with a good, old-fashioned sense of community. Or whatever it is we did. I suppose now is as good a time as any to inform you all that I am, in fact, a vampire.

Yes. I am a legally certified doctor.

No. I don't feed off of my patients.

Yes. I do drink blood.

No. I don't want yours.

[A pause.]

And no. I don't sparkle.

If any of you have some sort of problem with this, you're welcome to come over to House 18 and kill me. It would certainly relieve the monotony of life. And it seems you have no need for a spare doctor around here. Otherwise, goodnight and do have a pleasant tomorrow.

Oh, I assure you, when I panic, you'll know it.

[hung_garian]

You're right, that reassures me no end.

[primogen_vampirate]

I do like to keep you on your toes, Pendragon.

[hung_garian]

Oh, I don't mind. It's good practice for walking in heels.

[primogen_vampirate]

Dreadful things. But I imagine they make your bosoms look lovely.

[hung_garian]

Oh, I don't need any help in that department - it's my legs I wear the heels for.

[Is he joking? Who knows!


...okay, so everyone knows he's joking. Still.]

And they do wonders for the posture, you know.

[primogen_vampirate]

So I've been told. Not terribly practical, though.

[hung_garian]

Oh, they're not so bad once you get used to them. Not great for mountaineering, but they're alright on the flat bits.

[As if he'd know the first thing about mountaineering. Heels, maybe.]

I imagine they're not much good at sea either, huh?

[primogen_vampirate]

Not unless you want to look impressively tall.

[hung_garian]

I can't say I've ever felt that urge.

[primogen_vampirate]

Don't suppose you'd need to.

[hung_garian]

Nope. Call me crazy, but I'm perfectly happy not having to duck my head to get through doors.

[primogen_vampirate]

And you're sufficiently terrifying when you want to be.

[hung_garian]

Oh yeah, absolutely. You don't wanna see my mean face, it's the stuff of nightmares.

[primogen_vampirate]

Oh, I believe that.

[hung_garian]

And... no crack about my regular face? Sugar, I'm disappointed! C'mon, I set you up for that and everything - where's all that charming sass of yours gone?

[primogen_vampirate]

Drowned, perhaps. I did spend quite a few days underwater.

It was awfully dreadful.

[hung_garian]

Oh, sounds it. I imagine the company down there's nowhere near as good as The Little Mermaid makes it out to be.

[primogen_vampirate]

I should very much like to see your Little Mermaid.

[hung_garian]

The movie or the girl herself? Cause, y'know, I know this one chick who's a dead ringer for Ariel. Minus the shell bikini.

[Wait. That came out wrong.]

...ew.

[He shakes his head, trying to get rid of the mental image.]

Let me clarify that - she's a dead ringer for Ariel in the bit where she's human and wearing clothes.

[Naked sister. Gross.]

[primogen_vampirate]

[Have a raised eyebrow, Pendragon.]

[hung_garian]

...it's a dumb movie anyway. Terrible soundtrack and shitty ending - the book's much more true to life.

[primogen_vampirate]

Well, perhaps you'll tell me the story.

[hung_garian]

Perhaps.

[primogen_vampirate]

Tease.
