OOC: I must chime in to add to this. DamnitArmand is one of those gifted writers that I feel blessed for having crossed paths with. Every opportunity I’m given to write with them pushes me to bring my best, and their talent makes their every post a treat to enjoy. They deserve all the love. Many love. Much hug.
The best thing about being a vampire, in my humble opinion, is the fearlessness. There’s a sense of freedom as an immortal that I never felt even in passing as a living man. I can see why so many young vampires behave recklessly when given this new lease upon their existence; consequences are marginal if one can manage to relinquish all traces of their morality as a fresh born killer. I lived in and with many fears towards the end of my life. The reality of becoming a man constructed of fragile bones and weakened organs made it immensely difficult for me to fully enjoy myself without being preoccupied by these concerns. Now I experience no fear — with certain exceptions.
The worst thing about being a vampire, which is also specific to perhaps only myself, is not just the need to seek blood. That remains an issue for me that I need to work through. What bothers me more is the inconvenience of daytime sleep. It’s forced narcolepsy. I cannot wait for the passage of time where I am finally able to remain awake without the sun dragging me into slumber. Thus far I’ve managed to pass out over my desk, inside the foyer, and halfway upon my bed. It’s not graceful or with any kind of dignity. And since someone (Lestat) thinks it’s entertaining to leave me in such awkward positions, I tend to dread the time leading up to dawn for just that reason.
Oh, my dear David. It’s your reaction waking up the next night that is utterly entertaining to behold. Start sensing when it’s time to sleep, quit reading or entertaining your company, here or at home,fast enough and you might save some dignity by falling into slumber on a bed rather a desk chair, floor, or other various ways I’ve found you..
Should I list them completely?
I’m sure your visitors would love to imagine the awkwardness of it all.
Don’t you dare or I shall never speak a word to you again.

From i-want-my-iwtv! the-gentleman-chronicler asked for a Lestat/David drabble, so I was thinking… what could Lestat give David as a present? What WOULD he give David? How would he give it to David?
If it resembles an angel, it is likely the Devil. This encompasses much. So heed that warning.
Do not leave him alone. This also encompasses much. Heed that warning very strongly.
Fisticuffs might not be your style if it can be avoided but should a chap turn up claiming to be Lestat in a human body, take the opportunity at the start to punch him once for me. That’s really the only time you’ll get the chance. Trust me when I say that it will prove worth it later.
