//well that’s it I’m dead. Those two arts killed me. I have expired. See u in hell guys
Armand is totally judging those actors: “You know, Daniel, I was the director of a theatre -”
“I know,”
“I have vast experience in actor’s performances-”
“I KNOW!”
“- and this acting is terrible, Daniel. Terrible.”
“…"
I could imagine this as Pandora when she’s with Azim in qotd and rips a young man’s head half off.
Armand: Lestat, are you ready to interview me for the book?
Lestat: Now’s not a good time. Daniel already gave me your story, so-
Armand: Oh, you’re going hunting. How about in an hour or so?
Lestat: Not looking good this evening, really.
Armand: So when-
Lestat: How about never? Is never good for you?
Armand: I have things to contribute!
Lestat: …
Armand: …
Lestat: …
Armand: … like how awful you looked when-
Lestat: Yeah no, this conversation is over.
[Marius’ interview went better]
Lestat: So you just spent awhile talking about Louis. What were you thinking about me at that time, prior to the concert?
Marius: That Louis was waiting for you.
Lestat: Ok, yes, but what about ME?
Marius: …
Lestat: …
Marius: …
Lestat: Well I’m just saying you were very descriptive about Louis and Gabrielle so I just want to keep your voice consistent. What did you think about me at the time?
Marius: That you were the damnedest creature.
Lestat: Really? You mean that?
Marius: Yes, a brat prince.
Lestat: Go on.
Marius: *sigh*
Lestat: *pouts*
Marius: Okay. Honestly you are such a child. -pauses- Face and form… The ice-blue eyes, darkening with laughter; the generous smile; the way the eyebrows came together in a boyish scowl; the sudden flares of high spirits and blasphemous humor.
Lestat: And?
Marius: Lestat!
Lestat: What? I just want the full story. Talk about my body.
Marius: *grumbles* Even the catlike poise of the body… So uncommon in a man of muscular build. Such strength, always such strength.
Lestat: Oooh that’s good stuff… *writes* You make me sound so cool.
Marius: …such irrepressible optimism. *groans*
Lestat: Okay now we can move on.

– woah –
I’m not sure that that’s the exact word for it, but the Ricean vampires in general have implied that they’re adaptive, inquisitive, they learn things easily and much faster than mortals. I can’t find the quotes to support it but I’m 99% sure that Lestat learned to read/write by watching people do it (his monastery schooling only gave him so much: ”I couldn’t read or write more than a few prayers and my name.” TVL)
“This is my birthday present from Louis. Use as I like, he tells me…
I do not understand entirely what is meant by birthday. Was I born into this world on the 21st of September or was it on that day that I departed all things human to become this?
My gentlemen parents are forever reluctant to illuminate such simple matters. One would think it bad taste to dwell on such subjects. Louis looks puzzled, then miserable, before he returns to the evening paper. And Lestat, he smiles and plays a little Mozart for me, then answers with a shrug: ‘It was the day you were born to us.’ ”
– Claudia de Lioncourt, Queen of the Damned
Is this her birthday? Or the night she was turned? They don’t answer her. I think it was the night she was turned, “you were born to US”
According to this, September 21 is Michele Rice’s birthday, 1966. Michele died of
acute granuleucytic leukemia
on Aug. 5, 1972.
