ROLEPLAY HQ - unexpected-findings

Vava 03-Sep-21 07:36 AM

Lucy rubbed the back of her neck, a yawn leaving her lips as the night sky stretched onward. She had been out drinking with some coworkers earlier and to be safe she had decided to walk home. The night time never bothered Lucy. She was a night owl anyway. Lucy chose to walk through the park in the center of town as that was the quickest way back to her home. The moon was bright and full and the stars glimmered like little flashlights. It was peaceful and calm, and Lucy loved it. Inhaling the fall air, Lucy didn't notice a large form blocking her path in the park. When she did notice it, she gasped softly. It looked like...a person! Someone crouched or hunched over onto the ground. "Hello? Are you alright?" She called. The form didn't move, and Lucy felt a chill run up her spine. There had been stories on the news recently about an unknown assailant lurking in the town. Was...was this them? No. That didn't make any sense. Swallowing hard, Lucy stepped towards the form. "Hello? My name is Lucy. Are you hurt? I can help." She got close to the form.... She reached out a hand and gently touched the form. "Hello?" @VampireBoi

VampireBoi 03-Sep-21 08:56 AM

He panicked falling slightly backwards, an arm wrapped around his side. Blood had soaked through his t-shirt and in thin lines from his mouth. He bared his teeth hissing low. His teeth were perfectly straight and white, two sets of long canines knife sharp. "Back off!" He ordered, dark eyes flicking around anxiously

Vava 03-Sep-21 09:31 AM

Lucy gasped and took a step back, the man's sharp teeth extended out like daggers. "W-What...What the..." She backed up, but ended up tripping on a stray stick. Lucy landed on her backside, wincing as her ankle throbbed. The man was covered in blood! Lucy whimpered as she backed away slowly.

VampireBoi 03-Sep-21 02:26 PM

"Please. I'm sorry. I need help..." he winced out head dropping forward, black hair tangled with mud. "I. I got money. I just need a place to hide." He begged quietly, the small drips of blood splattering on the pavement. "I-i thought you were..." he seemed to lose his train of thought and coughed lightly and gritting his teeth.

Vava 04-Sep-21 02:44 AM

Lucy looked at the man, blood splattering onto the pavement and a messy look on his face. He seemed hurt. Something tugged at her heart strings… “O-Okay…. I… I can help.” She hesitantly got up, wincing as her ankle throbbed. She most likely sprained it. She made her way over to the man and held out her hand. “Come on, it’s alright. I don’t live far from here.”

VampireBoi 04-Sep-21 05:36 AM

He grabbed her hand, long fingers completely encompassing her hands, nails black. He put his arm over her shoulder the other pressed against his ribcage. "Thank you. I owe you." He said softly giving her a small, pained smile. Through the blood he was attractive. Black hair parted in the middle and framing a thin, but full checked face. Dark mahogany eyes reflected her own face back to her like mirrors. He stood about a head taller than her and was built like a farm boy. All whipcord muscle. "I'll be gone once I can get this damn thorn out of my side and heal enough to fight." He followed her, keeping an eye up to the roofs.

Vava 07-Sep-21 04:45 AM

Lucy blushed a little as the strange man suddenly made a grab for her hand. It didn't bother her, it was just definitely unusual! It didn't help that the man was handsome too, which made this feel... strangely exciting. "A...thorn in your side? I have tweezers at home. I can probably take it out." She said as she began to lead him towards her home. They soon arrived at a small single story home that was somewhat secluded behind a few bundles of trees. The house was a one bedroom one bathroom home that she had inherited from her late grandparents, and she had come here every single day as a child. To own it now was wonderful! "I think I have some left over pajamas from my grand father that I can give you while I wash your clothes. The bathroom is down the hall to the right. If you get cleaned up, I can take a look at that thorn in your side?"

VampireBoi 07-Sep-21 09:41 AM

He went into the bathroom yanking off his shirt, a metal spike nearly three inches long and a quarter inch around between his first and second ribs. Wincing he wrapped a hand around the end of it huffing and keeping his breath as slow as possible. "I don't think tweezers are gonna get this out.." he let go of it pressing his bloody hands onto the edge of the bath.

VampireBoi 08-Sep-21 05:31 PM

Vava 09-Sep-21 03:59 AM

Lucy gasped as she saw the large metal spike in his side. "Oh, my God! We....We have to call an ambulance!" She shouted, her eyes wide with fear. She turned and scrambled for her cell phone, ready to call 911!!!

VampireBoi 09-Sep-21 10:13 AM

"No no no. They'll arrest me." He snagged the phone. "Promise you won't call." He seemed more concerned at keeping himself hidden then the wounds. "Hospitals don't allow us in."

Vava 09-Sep-21 02:56 PM

"B-But..." Her eyes widened as he said that hospitals don't allow 'us' in. "Us...? What are you talking about?" She asked softly. "Hospitals won't allow... who in?" She asked softly, tilting her head slightly.

VampireBoi 09-Sep-21 03:18 PM

"Dont freak at me. I ain't gonna hurt you." He put up his hands as if trying to calm her. "I'm infected. Theyll shoot me if I go for help"

Vava 10-Sep-21 04:35 AM

"Infected? What...What do you mean, infected?" The whole situation was making her uneasy. But blood was continuing to pool from his side. "Whatever. We need to get this out. I...I think I can pull it out."

VampireBoi 10-Sep-21 06:01 AM

He let her approach to help him, face twisted in pain. A quick tear and it was out, revealing the end was barbed and razor sharp. He grit his teeth and choked down a scream of pain tieing his shirt tightly around his chest. "Thank you."

Vava 10-Sep-21 07:24 AM

"We still need to bandage it!" She said quickly, reaching for the bandages. She went to untie his shirt, still seeing blood pooling. "How did this even happen?"

VampireBoi 10-Sep-21 07:53 AM

"Eh walked into the wrong alley at a wrong time. Doesn't matter." He gently prodded the wound and removed another barb that had broken and wrapped his side.

Vava 10-Sep-21 07:57 AM

"It does too matter. You said you're infected. Infected with what?" She asked, pressing the issue even further. It seemed highly unusual that he had a large barb in his side!

VampireBoi 10-Sep-21 01:35 PM

"Aww shit." He blinked something finally clicking in his head. "You're not... Goddamn I'm gonna get in so much trouble....." he sighed softly. "I don't know how to explain this without scaring you." He put a hand on his chest. "I'm a vampire. I thought you were one of our medics. I am clearly incorrect."

Vava 11-Sep-21 12:11 PM

"A....A vampire?" Lucy said, her eyes widening. She had never met a vampire before!!! "I...I won't tell anyone. I... I promise." She said quickly, nodding to him. "So...You're a vampire."

VampireBoi 11-Sep-21 06:19 PM

He waited, face showing his expectations clearly, waiting for her to freak then smiled softly. "Yes. I am. I got cornered by two hunters and got absolutely fucked."

VampireBoi 13-Sep-21 08:06 AM

He got up whiping his hands and arms clean under the small sink, having to contort due to his height. "Thank you, again, for helping me." Turning to look at her he smiled softly and took her hands in his. Gently tracing the contours of her hands he nodded to himself as if deciding. "If you ever need help, I'm your man," he let go putting a hand over his chest bowing. "My name is Jack. It is a pleasure to meet you, Lucy." He hadnt been told a name, hed appeared to simply pluck it from the air...

Vava 13-Sep-21 10:15 AM

"Yeah, no problem." Lucy said, her cheeks heating up as his hand grabbed hers. She chuckled nervously, letting him feel her hand. As he said her name, Lucy's eyes widened. "Wait, how do you know my name?" She asked, reaching for him and touching his sleeve. "And...you said you were infected. What do you mean by that?" She had heard of 'infected' individuals before, but she knew so little about them. Perhaps this was her chance to finally understand someone who was infected!! (edited)

VampireBoi 13-Sep-21 12:10 PM

"I can read your head to a limited amount" he poked the side of her head at the temple. "Names are on the surface of minds and easy to skim from the top." He sat down on the floor leaning his back on the couch wincing pressing a hand to the bandage. "And as for infection its what we call full vampires who weren't born this way. Ones who were human at some point." He flopped his head backwards onto the couch cushion, sighing softly. "The infection mutates human cells giving us 'dark gifts'." He made quotation marks with a hand. "Mine are limited mind reading and foresight during stress."

VampireBoi 13-Sep-21 05:44 PM

He pressed a hand to his ribs still pained though healing, the skin knitting together slowly. Itd take a few days for his lungs to repair and his bones to refuse but he had the time to waste. "I can leap forwards through someone's thoughts, and follow them to the actions they'll cause. Gives me a momentary edge to respond but it can be painful or too much for my head..." he explained trying to put into words the concept. "My master could do the same though he could see much more than me."

Vava 14-Sep-21 04:17 PM

Lucy’s eyes widened as Jack explained all of the abilities he could do. The infection he had referred to was not being born a vampire… “So… how did you become one?” She asked, stepping a little closer as she watched his skin knit itself back together. “That’s incredibly helpful!!” His abilities were absolutely amazing! But what she didn’t understand was how he became so injured! “So… who attacked you? Hunters? Why were they after you?” She crossed her arms and leaned back against the wall of the bathroom. “And you said master… is that like a head vampire?” (edited)

Vampire-Nerd 22-Sep-21 06:48 PM

"My master purchased me to hunt down. For amusement." He said softly. "I took down two of his friends before he caught me and he decided to keep me. I was hunted down because my master was angry I left... I never thought my own kind would come for me." He rubbed the sore and bruised portion of his ribcage, dark nails standing out against his pale skin. "You have cleanin' stuff? I'll clean up this mess I made..."

Vava 23-Sep-21 07:21 AM

"It's alright. I can clean it." Lucy said, waving her hand dismissively. "Do...Do you need a place to stay? I don't know if here is safe but... If you need a place to rest for now, I have a guest room." She wasn't sure if this was the best idea or not, but she felt awful just leaving someone to fend for themselves, especially after he was attacked!!!

Vampire-Nerd 25-Sep-21 04:40 AM

"I'm all right." He smiled softly ignoring her clear discomfort. "I'd just like to stay in the living room." He stood up lacing his fingers together to stretch his arms. "I'll be able to keep watch through the night. Please don't worry for me." He glanced out the window as he tied back his hair.

Vava 27-Sep-21 04:45 AM

Lucy blinked, surprised that he would keep watch for her. "Oh, uhm... sure. Yeah. I'll go grab you some blankets." She said, turning and heading to her bedroom. Thankfully, Lucy had pillows and blankets to spare. She grabbed the blankets and pillows and returned to the living room. "Here you are." She set them on the couch, then looked at him. "Is...Is there anything I can get for you?"

Vampire-Nerd 27-Sep-21 04:39 PM

"Don't worry about me. You've given me far more than I deserve or expected." He smiled softly looking back outside. He'd half combed his long hair into a ponytail with random fly aways sticking to his cheeks and the nape of his neck. The bloody clothes had been neatly folded then put into the garbage and he looked out of place in the flannel and jeans she'd provided him. "I don't yet need sleep so Ill be here if you get bored." He chuckled softly.

Vava 29-Sep-21 04:33 AM

Lucy blushed hard as he said that if she was bored, he was here. "F-Fine." She mumbled. She turned and walked into her bedroom, shutting the door. This was so friggen weird! Lucy crawled into bed, figuring that sleep would help her figure things out better. Would this strange man be there when she woke up? Lucy shut her eyes, wondering if perhaps this was all just... some weird dream. A few hours passed, and Lucy had fallen asleep. But, she was plagued with nightmares. She was unsure as to why, but her dreams were filled with monsters. They ripped at her body, pulling her apart for helping Jack. Lucy started to whimper and gasp, and suddenly she woke up screaming, tears and sweat running down her face.

Vampire-Nerd 29-Sep-21 06:00 AM

He knocked hand on the door but not opening. "Lucy?!" He knocked again louder. "Please open the door." He grit his teeth. So help me if she's injured, he growled to himself. Hed been awake for the majority of the night, standing at the balcony railing smoking the remains of a cigarette he'd found in his pocket, hands lazily dangling over the banister. "Lucy are you okay?!"

Vampire-Nerd 29-Sep-21 06:37 AM

He tested the door, a shoulder against the door, preparing to force it open. He was anxious someone was in the room with her. how did they find me he thought to himself rearing back a hand, fingers curled.

Vava 29-Sep-21 08:53 AM

Lucy ran to the door and threw it open. She was trembling, tears falling down her pale cheeks. She dove into Jack's arms, sobbing hard. She was unable to voice why she was so upset, but her sobs were harsh and raspy. Her nails dug into his arm as she sobbed.

Vampire-Nerd 29-Sep-21 10:47 AM

He grunted from the slight impact, then held onto her, a hand on the back of her head. "Its okay... its okay." He rocked softly a cheek on the top of her hair eyes closed. "Are you okay..." he asked softly, gently lifting her face with his palms on her cheeks. "Can I help?"

Vava 29-Sep-21 10:55 AM

Lucy nodded as he asked if she was alright. "J-Just... hold me for a while." She whispered, hiding her face in his chest. Her heart was hammering against her chest, the fear having been built up from the nightmares. Her pulse was quickened, and she dug her fingers into his back as she held onto him.

Vampire-Nerd 29-Sep-21 11:05 AM

He bent slightly easily picking her up, sitting down on the couch holding onto her silently, mind racing trying to figure her out. not that I'm complaining he thought amused, glancing at her.

Vampire-Nerd 29-Sep-21 12:13 PM

He kept an arm behind her back holding her gently, silently clicking through the television until he found a channel he could stand. His eyes flicked to the open balcony as a car passed.

Vava 29-Sep-21 12:21 PM

Lucy leaned into his touch as they sat on the couch. She hummed softly, feeling the residual fear of the nightmare slowly vanish. She thankfully started to feel better. As she came down from the intense emotions, she couldn't help but blush as she realized she was pressed against this large handsome man.

Vampire-Nerd 29-Sep-21 12:35 PM

He was staring down the window, eyes dark and jaw clenched hard enough it'd crush a human skull had one been between his teeth but he shot her a smile and a placid 'its alright.' As he stood up. He shut the door to the balcony with a quiet click and drew the curtains.

Vava 29-Sep-21 12:58 PM

Lucy frowned as she saw how hard he was clenching his jaw. When he got up, she looked at him in confusion. "What's the matter?"

Vampire-Nerd 29-Sep-21 01:02 PM

"Just a friend of mine." He smiled softly. "I'd rather not let him in as he can be rather... unnerving. Scary." He chuckled glancing at the now closed curtains. "He doesn't believe me."

Vampire-Nerd 29-Sep-21 01:40 PM

He crossed his arms, picked off a piece of fluff then resettled his hands. "Theres more to this world than you realize, and all things are apart of it. However, my friend isn't. My friend is a thing created to serve." And dropped his arms to his sides. "And I may have lied to you. I do apologize for that but I needed to know who you were." He smiled softly. "I'm much more than I said."

Vava 29-Sep-21 03:32 PM

“A friend?” Lucy asked, confused. She wiped the tears from her eyes and turned. “What are you talking about? Please. Be honest with me! I don’t understand. What are you?” She asked firmly, her eyes hard. This has become so fucking confusing!!

Vampire-Nerd 29-Sep-21 03:58 PM

He made a face debating how to explain. "There are those called vampires. It is an overall race, like human for you. Then there are smaller sections within. Think like whites, blacks, bla bla bla. I am a subsection called Nobles. I was born this way. Not created like whats been scurrying around your city."

Vampire-Nerd 29-Sep-21 04:06 PM

He layered his hands one over the other. "This is your world and mine. Mixed but very separate. Things slip between. Like your family.

And myself. There is far more going on than you're aware. And I'm only telling you this because you aren't from this plane. You are from mine."

Vampire-Nerd 30-Sep-21 02:48 PM

"I get sent to find the things that fall through. Figure out why they fell. And based on the face you're giving me all I did was confuse you."

Vava 01-Oct-21 06:47 AM

Lucy's eyes widened as Jack explained that she was from his plane. Not hers. But, she wasn't a vampire! She was human! "I....I don't understand. Please, what are you talking about? I'm not a vampire, I'm human!" This had truly just become so confusing!! Lucy held her head, trying to think of what he could possibly mean.

Vampire-Nerd 02-Oct-21 10:42 AM

"Calm yourself. If I'm correct your family is descendants of one from my own. I got sent out to see if you'd like to visit your homeland before you die." He held up his hands.

Vampire-Nerd 03-Oct-21 05:12 AM

"I can even erase your memory if you say no. So you won't even remember this. You'd think you got drunk tonight and are hungover. I know its alot. But it was required of me."

Vava 05-Oct-21 07:14 AM

Lucy frowned, tilting her head. "Got sent out by who? I really don't understand."

Vampire-Nerd 10-Oct-21 09:59 AM

He bent slightly easily picking her up, sitting down on the couch holding onto her silently, mind racing trying to figure her out. not that I'm complaining he thought amused, glancing at her. He waited for her to calm from her night terrors watching the television flicker and flash through settings and plot he barely understood. Putting a hand to his face, resting his head, he covered his mouth as his teeth ached. "Feeling better?" He asked softly forcing an uneasy smile.

Vava 11-Oct-21 01:14 PM

Lucy leaned into his touch as they sat on the couch. She hummed softly, feeling the residual fear of the nightmare slowly vanish. She thankfully started to feel better. As she came down from the intense emotions, she couldn't help but blush as she realized she was pressed against this large handsome man.

"Yeah, I am feeling a little better now." She said softly, looking up at him.

Vampire-Nerd 11-Oct-21 04:28 PM

"Good." He smiled, seemingly unbothered by the emotional response but very much aware of it. Thank God I can regulate my face. he thought, thankful for the skill, and glad blood wasn't rising to his own face. He ran a hand over his hair.

Vava 12-Oct-21 03:43 PM

Lucy smiled, leaning into Jack more. She felt tired now, especially after she was awoken so harshly from a nightmare. "Would...Would you be comfortable staying in my room? I'd really like to lay down in bed."

Vampire-Nerd 12-Oct-21 05:36 PM

He picked her up carefully pushing open her door and walking to her bed, setting her down gently. He didn't lay down with her but did sit down on the floor, not wanting to scare her.

Vava 13-Oct-21 01:29 PM

Lucy turned over and patted the bed. "Lay with me?" She asked quietly. Her eyes shone in the moonlight, and she was desperate for attention.

Vampire-Nerd 16-Oct-21 03:47 PM

He got up silently, crawling into her bed, toeing off his shoes. A smile gently lit his face, delicately holding her, arms around her. He pressed a hand into her ribs nails slightly snagging her shirt. He closed his eyes, her hair spread across his face.

Vava 18-Oct-21 03:55 PM

Lucy smiled, wrapping her arms around him. She placed her head against his chest and snuggled into him. He felt so good, despite being colder than a normal person.

Vampire-Nerd 19-Oct-21 07:30 AM

His heart beat sounded incorrect, half beats and too slow, languidly moving the blood through his body. He set a hand in her hair. It's hard to explain, he thought, how to tell of his species.
