There are some mortals I look at who will never meet their full potential because they are either too afraid or too lazy. There is a deep unrest in these people- they hate themselves. I see them everywhere: walking past my house, in the streets, in libraries, in malls, on trains. Their self-loathing, perhaps it is even subconscious-  permeates the space they take up and keeps them stagnate like an old rank pond.

I want to shake them, to scream at them,  “Stop wasting your life before a fiend like me comes along and snatches it away! There is so much passion bottled inside you, must I tap into it,  pour myself a glass of your very life  and hold it in front of  your eyes before I swallow it down? Will you get how important you are then?” And perhaps they would, but by that time it would be too late.

“TL;DR” shut up it’s only 2 paras, ^READTHIS thankyoubye.

ooc; Also Bad Dream because again, I love the pain of Louis/Lestat angst

  • Bad Dream:I’ll write my character having a nightmare about yours, or vice versa.

For the past several nights I have been having the most vivid  nightmares. In the dreams  I am mortal again in David’s body- or Raglan’s body, I suppose- and I am running down a great corridor. At the very end there is a  grand oak door which I cannot open because my mortal limbs are too weak, but after several moments of shoving the door finally gives way! Louis is on the other side- it’s he who has opened it. He is dressed in the finest formal attire-  fitted blazer, fine silk tie, and shiny gold cufflinks pinning his shirtsleeves. His hair is gathered back the way I like it at the base of his neck. Beyond him there is a  luminous ballroom filled with our immortal friends and acquaintances: Armand, Gabrielle, Marius, Pandora, Maharet, even Santino and Eric are there. Every single one of them and they halt in their dancing and there is a deafening silence as they stare at me for a short eternity. And then they  laugh uncontrollably, pointing fingers at me, at my predicament. I have  been kicked out of their exclusive club.   

It’s by this time I search wildly for Louis again- you know how dreams are, easy to lose track of people. I find him on Armand’s arm  guffawing  pitilessly,  and  the wickedest, most self-satisfied glint in the little imp’s eyes. I am outraged and embarrassed. I  storm up to Louis and I grab hold of his well-pressed lapels and shake him. I order him to put a stop to this nonsense, to turn me back already. Let me back in your club.

Then something sharp in my lower back. I twist and see a second Louis,  a crueler  Louis, has driven a knife straight into me.  With his mean lips he kisses  me coldly before pulling the blade out. I fall,  bleed out, and die  right there on the ball room floor with peels of laughter echoing around me.

My dream life has never been very subtle.

i am a huuuge fan of your Louis! question: how much do you plot out with the other muns for the long prose threads like “to Suffer Together” ? Like, do you agree on the action and dialogue first before drafting, and/or send eachother a draft of your response before posting?

ooc; Thank you so much!  I can’t speak for everyone of course, but for myself, no, that much plotting doesn’t usually go into it.  With that thread with primusdux, we’d just decided to do a catatonic-post-Memnoch thread and go from there.  Some threads are even more spontaneous, ie the mortal!Louis thread I have going with gorgeous-fiend, which we didn’t plot out in general and just happened.

Every now and then a thread will come up where further plot is discussed prior to it happening (generally with a character that’s obviously much stronger than Louis and might bring him harm; which I generally give the other RPer permission to do whatever because I love torturing characters I love), but I tend to usually just go with the flow.  I’ve not sent my replies to people prior to posting them and haven’t honestly had anyone do that to me either.
