//ooc; It’s okay! No fuss, I’m not offended. It’s just that Lestat’s been asked for the Dark Gift so many times, and it’s kind of frustrating for him because people seem to think he gives it up to anyone who asks, like some kind of Dark Gift Slut… which has only been the case a few times in canon, but there was still reasoning behind it, he still had met the person and interacted with them.

RP is tough bc in the writing you can “really meet/interact with” the muse, like hug them or touch them, but my Lestat is more like a co-mod of this blog and takes most messages as messages only. He’s primarily an Ask Lestat, not available for real threads bc I just don’t have the time and don’t want to play favorites, even with anons.

And really, I think the response was slightly ooc anyway, Lestat probably wouldn’t go to the trouble to think about what would happen if he really said Yes to everyone. The Dark Gift is serious business, despite what it looks like in canon, it’s nothing to be distributed out like free t-shirts at a baseball game or whatever! He also really dislikes leading people on.

People don’t always look for or respect guidelines when interacting with an RPer, but yes, I/he should have guidelines, thanks for bringing that to my attention 😉
