003 💗 Keeping warm [video]

Name: Justine
Date: July 9th
Format: Video

[Justine appears on the network with a pristine white scarf circling her throat and a pinky rosy hue brushing the tip of her nose. Her dark eyes are lovely and those who look close enough might see a brilliant dark emerald green circling her iris. Snow falls around her, thick fluffy flurries catching in her dark lashes. Her midnight hair is covered by a matching hat that's been woven with runes that Justine has yet to perfect.

She hadn't expected snow when she'd been feeling the onset of summer only a week or so before.]

Hello. [Her voice is soft and delicately sweet.] I would like to offer handmade scarfs and hats to those who need them. Mitten as well. None-cursed. I promise. [She has already had an awkward moment with an enchanted scarfs.] For purchase or borrowing.

Please let me know if you would like any. I can try and accommodate for claws and hooves as well.


CLOSE CR
(i.e. if she has spoken to you more than twice.)

I have a gift for you.

[Her voice is sweet though more excited than it had been during her announcement.]

Can you stop by?

No. I mean that there really were vampires and many young people died or vanished that night.

[She'd died if Harry hadn't come back to get her and Susan. Technically speaking... Susan had died.]

Do you not believe in vampires?

[Do people really just say things like that? That sounds an awful lot like a thing he'd hear as a joke or as part of a convention. Most of the time the magical world seems a lot more secretive where he's from. It makes him pause doubtfully.]

I don't believe in Anne Rice. I believe in a lot of weird things. But from what I understand most of them wouldn't use her as a reference.

[He keeps his tone light and joking. He just can't tell how serious she is about this.]

Well, it depends on the type of vampire really. Those within the Black Court were all but wiped out after the publication of Bram Stoker's book Dracula. The Red Court are a bit different.

[She is being entirely serious.]

[definingfuture]

The type of vampire? So there are types?

[And that doesn't clear things up at all. She's talking about courts like that's a common term and it still sounds like someone perhaps discussing a book series. Which, after mentioning Anne Rice and Bram Stoker, maybe it is? Mentioning death offhandedly like that is kind of goth. Maybe she's the Lydia Deetz type.]

I don't think anyone's ever mentioned that part to me.

[ishisstrength]

Well, that is how it is in my world.

I have not met a vampire here but I know that they drink blood and are a common species of monster. The Coven has some texts on the monsters. If you wish to learn more. It will likely help better than my awkward attempts at explain.

[Justine is charming but there is a lot that she doesn't understand.]

[definingfuture]

You're from a world that has vampires?

[Not that it's so unusual, but normally people don't just come out and say that seriously, right? It sounds way too far-fetched to the average person. Magic world or not, no one assumes vampires are a real thing.]

Yeah, I've heard they are around here. But here is pretty weird. Did weird stuff usually happen to you before this?

[ishisstrength]

Among other things, yes.

[Justine doesn't see a reason to hide it since this world has far stranger creatures than her home.]

Sometimes. That depends on your definition of weird.
