[There is a new vampire on the boat, already out of his room and using the nightfall to walk the decks slowly. As he does so, he leaves his message:]These lines have been crowded with the typical drivel I've come to expect of humans, even from those who claim to be otherwise

[Fiddle fiddle, how does this work again?]

You've lost your friend? Goodness, a lot of people have been losing them lately. I hope it's not a troll stealing them away. That would be just terrible...

[suckmysilver]

'Friend' does not aptly describe what exists between he and I.

[Eric lacks disdain in his words; he is informing her that her description does not apply here. But her words about losing people could be troublesome, given the recent disappearance of one Godric.]

What do you know of these disappearances?

[...it feels unnatural to ask what sounds clearly human for information. The reverse is usually standard.]

[onlylipstouch]

[She knows she's human, and she is in fact. But sometimes it's hard not to wonder...]

Well, another boy was searching for his own friends, but I have heard of some people having friends just.. disappear. I'm not sure where they went, but some of them have yet to appear again.

It's very sad...

[suckmysilver]

[Having to ask questions of a human that does not seem to understand the importance of it is even worse.]

No similarities exist?

[tachikhromatic]

Excuse me, but I have an important question~!

[suckmysilver]

What is your question?

[tachikhromatic]

Are you planning to attack your fellow passengers?

[suckmysilver]

I am not planning anything.

[Eric considered the use of 'planning' before speaking and its particular emphasis belies that.

No, he's not planning anything, but if somewhere were to have happened to Godric? Retaliation may have occurred. He is not the pretty blond vampire that is on television, after all.]

I haven't met him myself, but I'm aware of a Godric on board. If he's here, he will likely of heard this post so now you need only wait.

[Her voice is soft but easy to hear.]

Might I ask, sir, what you are?

[audio]

[suckmysilver]

[Even easier for a vampire's senses to pick up, don't worry.]

He has been located, but your response is... appropriate.

[Eric projects no particular emotion with this, but his voice lacks a portion of that unforgiving edge it possessed earlier. And that was almost an appreciated, but he would not go so far as to say that.

That Godric has been found makes her next question tolerable, enough to warrant a response and those fangs -- he likes baring them, what can he say.]

I am vampire.

[A pause and you can see the ghost of a smirk.]

Perhaps more appropriately known as "that thing your mother warned you about."

[audio]

[gotyourwallet]

I'm glad to hear it. You sounded a little... eager to find him.

[She's happy he found Godric, but mostly relieved that no one was harmed in the process.]

Vampire. I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with that title.

[Hell, she's not familiar with most terms used on this boat. When she speaks again, she sounds amused.]

My mother warned me of beasts and shifters, but never a vampire.

[audio]

[suckmysilver]

Of course. Godric is very important to my kind.

[No one was harmed, but his fangs hurt from Lilith's neck. Yes, he will get back to her on that later.]

Then she turned you out on the world short very critical knowledge.

[Eric is not familiar with people who are not vampire-familiar, so don't feel along in the uninformed department.]

[entirelybonkers]

Well, you're quite the pushy sort, aren't you? Mother always said that those who say such things or act in such ways are simply trying to compensate for something.

I wonder what it is you are lacking...

[suckmysilver]

And does your mother also say to speak back to a vampire?

[Were you in his presence, this would be the part that Eric would lean forward to share a little detail just between you and him.]

A heartbeat.

[entirelybonkers]

Actually, to be quite frank with you, the subject has never been broached.

[Hmph!]

So you're like Godric, then. Are you Varney?

[suckmysilver]

Then let me advise you that is it unwise.

[Like Godric? Eric has no idea how long his maker has been here and what he has spoken of. He is, however, getting a very clear picture that it has been a lot.]

No, I am not. I am Eric.

[Here he almost sounds like he laughs. Varney was one of the first modern pushes of vampiric propaganda and, like many others, contains ridiculous concepts meant to mislead the humans.]
