"You look like you've seen a ghost..."
"Hm? Me? No, that's not quite what I am."
Elizabeth, ancient vampire heiress. Temp. Pinned. MDNI. Dead Dove, Do Not Eat.
@aWishOfDeath placed a hand down on the keys once more.
"Do excuse me if I miss a note or two. I may be a little rusty after a few years..."
Yet, she still begun to play, joining Marie in her rhythm, moving along with surprising skill for one who claims to have not played for all too long.
@aWishOfDeath "I would hope not. Though I stand at the apex of my kind...I would hate to be a mere stereotype. I like to think of myself as 'Elizabeth' first and a vampire second."
Once given permission, rather ironic considering which was the maid and which was the princess, Elizabeth -
@aWishOfDeath playing, for now, she lets Marie take the lead. She lends her an ear, but her hands remain on her lap. For now, at least. She wouldn't want to interrupt her piece.
@aWishOfDeath before deciding that it's best to keep to herself.
"Despite your relative youth compared to your successors, you do show impressive maturity. It's rare to see a skullgirl as in control as you...and even rarer one that is such pleasant company."
Though she too considers-
@aWishOfDeath A digit is traced over the ivory keys of the piano, Elizabeth taking a closer look at the instrument. It has been quite some time since she's played herself.
"Good to see that even you have the mind to take an occasional break. Wouldn't want you to, excuse the pun, work -
@VampEleanor It's a fortunate thing to know only peace. Still, with vampiric strength you should have nothing to worry about when it comes to humans at least.
Powerful as I might be, there is little I can do at range. Perhaps I ought to learn how to throw knives at people.
...
...I am being informed that there is already a blonde vampire who has claimed this gimmick for himself.
@PrssdBttrfly //: Yoruko coming back is decidedly noncanon on the basis of: they're going to fucking kill me if I try to yoruko post. (and also that whole ordeal around that time sadly kind of killed my yoruko muse for the foreseeable future.) She remains dead.
@aWishOfDeath "More than my kind, it is uniquely. The things I've endured would kill most other vampires."
A polite, slow little clap in response to the skullgirl's performance.
"Still, I am just as surprised to find you still having the time for such leisure while working on your revenge."
For the safety of my account I currently cannot engage in some of my favorite pastimes out in the open. Thus, I must amuse myself in different ways.
Catch.
@PrssdBttrfly Ah yes, that. Even at my age, one is still allowed to experiment. I think the time I spent dressing like that was quite worthwhile, even if the conclusion I've reached is to go back to the more aristocratic style. Oh, out of curiosity, which look did you prefer?
One of these days, I'm certain that girl will be more honest with herself. Really, I won't even mind if it's not me she falls for in the end, but I can tell she's denying her true feelings.
...This would all be so much easier were I not trapped in this infantile body.
@PrssdBttrfly Aw, how terribly disappointing...
Oh well. Some would say that I have lost my edge long ago ever since I've begun to 'behave' a little more than I used to. All the same, I'm sure you'll realize your feelings sooner or later.
@PrssdBttrfly I do not think I'll ever truly get it 'out of my system'. Ever since others have come to interest me in that way the desire has remained, though it has ebbed and flowed. Yet, regardless of any carnal desires, flirting and teasing are always a fun pastime.
