She sighed a bit and watched him gather his things for a moment, figuring that their stay here was getting cut short for whatever reason.
"You make a valid point..but honesty it can be taught just as humans can be taught to sleep in a particular position or to sleep with their eyes open...or to be able to snap awake and point a gun at something that has disturbed their sleep."
She said that last one, looking at him pointedly. She didn't know if that was something he could do, but to her it certainly would make sense for a hunter to develop such a tendency.
"If one has not kept the instinct to breathe, as some do, but wants to breathe while sleeping...one must be retaught to make it their instinct." she continued, finishing up her explanation. She shrugged after that, it being a simple point to make. "And that's what I went through."
Briefly, she wondered if he would pick up on the point that she had had two masters while most vampires only follow the one that made them..but she honestly hoped her wouldn't mention it. She didn't want to talk about it so early in their partnership, it might make him think that she had reason to hold a form of hatred towards him...and while she did envy his humanity like she did for all of his kind...she, like he, could see past the circumstances and state of being. "So...we are leaving already? Where to?"

RP INFO
Ok, here's the thing. I'm tired of scouring the interest checks for just the right partner. So I figured I'm gunna add a little plug in here for all to see!
I am collecting rp buddies because I wanna have myself a craving, and be able to feed said craving (without driving my boyfriend nuts). Its faster to have a group of friends at hand that I can brainstorm with, then edit my interest check and wait....possibly lose my craving and move onto something else.
So here are some things you need to know about me!
Common genres: adventure, modern fantasy, classic fantasy, dark fantasy, soulmate stuffs, romance
Things I don't really like to play: zombie apocolypse, slice of life, canon fandom stuff, pokemon?
Zombie: I just find it...repetitious and without a real goal?
Slice of life: I don't want to roleplay vanilla human lives. I have one of my own, and rp is my escape from that.
Canon fandom: lots of times, I have no idea what Im doing XD
Pokemon: Well...I like pokemon (up to a point) but...I always wonder about the mechanics. I dont want to pay attention to stats, and I dont want to focus on 'catching them all'
I do MxM and MxF. I would do FxF if it was alluring to me, but its not.
Now that that's out of the way, the sticking parts:
I would prefer RPing here in threads, or switching to discord, where I am much more accessable. I dont know if you've seen my profile, but i have a terrible habit of drifting off for long periods.
I will NOT guarantee a post a day, every 2 days, every week, or hell even every month. I will post what I can, and when I can. I'm 25 years old and damn it, I got adulting to do! Sometimes, I don't even do my duty to tell you if I'm going to disappear. Why? because something came up, I'm in a slump that lasts longer than I think it is, or I found something shiny and new and just have my head stuck in the computer. ADHD. ANd ADHD is why I say that my partners here should get ahold of me on discord, i am also crawkid there too.
Days fly by for me.
I need someone who is patient and understanding of this nature of mine, while still looking forward to rping with me. (I do try!)
If you're still here after all that, congrats, you're a rare breed.
I know I said that I will post what I can and when I can...but I do tend to give each post a good amount of thought. Still, if you find that my posts are getting smaller and smaller, don't be afraid to talk to me about it.
Also, I like rp partners who get excited about brainstorming, and who want to try new flavors and pairings. I want YOUR thoughts, and I LOVE it when we're in the middle of an rp and suddenly you decide this side character that was you main's uncle gets bitten by the vampire queen and...I dunno...but its sudden and interesting! AND you can bet I'll want to shove my own sudden and interesting plot twists in there too! (but of course one that'll make sense) This...makes it feel alive, and I love it so so much. :3
I just don't want to be forced to come up with every detail, plan everything out, beg you for ideas, and then have you flake out because its all 'my rp' and you lost interest in it 3 days in. Had it happen. If you're that person, sorry, that's boring. I don't WANT responsibility for everything. If I did, I'd be writing a book, not seeking a cooperative narrative with a stranger that might be on the other side of the planet.

She blinked, noticing that it seemed hard for him to ask the question...and when he did ask, she found herself smiling. "In order to aswer that question, one might ask a question in return. But I'll just cut to it and explain it anyways." She sat back down, but this time at the kitchen table. "We'll start with the reason why I breathe at night. I was taught to do it by force of habit. Of course vampires don't need to breathe, but humans do. And since the man that became my master after my first one died realized that I had every intention of attempting to blend in...he taught me to breathe while I sleep...because for some reason humans don't notice that you're not breathing while you're up and around but they do when you're asleep or unconcious."
She pauses at this part, almost pouting because of how irritatingly picky human conciousness is...but she she shrugged it off because it really was no big deal. "and vampires breathe all the time, but only when we are about to talk. Being completely preserved as you were when you died and were turned means that our lungs are preserved as well...It makes it really conveniant because we need to be able to expand and collapse them again so that we can force air over our vocal chords so that we can speak." She smiles, "I've been keeping up on human biology as a sort of...twisted...hobby...thing.. anyways, theoretically we should be able to do the same thing with our hearts...but since we were never able to control them during our human lives, learning would be a great deal harder and it would take more energy and focus. It would take a vampire who's completely dedicated and obsessed with the task to learn....I....I wouldn't be able to. I'm not that desperate...and it's been much too long since I've felt anything like that in my own body..."
she trailed off in thought, her hand coming to rest over where her still heart would be. Soon, to her anyways, that wouldn't be a problem for her. At least, that's what she believed.

It didn't take much trying. Dawn to dusk was a long time to sleep- and for your traditional vampire who slept during the day, it would be about time to get up anyways.
She blinked awake, glancing at him before the urge to yawn and stretch over took her and the spent the next couple moments doing just that. When she was through she smiled, appearing ready to take on the day -er night.
Noticing that Connor was right next to her, she remembered that she awoke because she was shaken. So with another, but much shorter, yawn...she got up out of her resting spot. "Yes? Was there something I could be helpful with?
Although she asked this, she continued about her activities while she was awaiting her answer. These activies being noticing that she was still wearing her bathrobe, and scuttling over to throw her clothes into the dryer- something she had forgotten to do before dozing off. it wasn't too long, and she was once again next to him in no time. After all it would have been rude to ask a question and then not allow him to properly answer it. There was plenty she'd have to fix and do too, so that she didn't feel like a rude and overbearing guest..but he did wake her so his issue came first.

(and now for the shortest post I have ever done in my long rp by post life :D )
Elizabeth continued to sleep.
(Feel free to shoot me now XD)
Elizabeth continued to sleep.
(Feel free to shoot me now XD)
Honestly believing that the hot shower was mankind's best invention, she was a bit disappointed to hear that there wasn't one, but she didn't show any of that. That would be rude- especially after he's been so hospitable to her. Nodding in understanding, she went to work grabbing a robe and slipping into the bathroom.
There she proceeded to scrub herself clean,relax, soak, rinse, dry and slip on the robe. When she was done, she put her clothes into the wash and looked for, and eventually finding, the stash of blood. She prepared it like how she had seen him do it but quietly drank it out of a coffee cup, muttering something about a chalice with some amusement.
Since he was so absorbed in his research, we can all assume that time will slip by unnoticed by the young hunter. But however oblivious he may be to the happenings around him, it might slip into his mind that there was something in that room that shouldn't be there.
Elizabeth has sunken into an armchair or couch (whichever one is actually there but armchair is preferred if it's available XD) and was sleep...and the odd thing that wasn't supposed to be there, was the sound of a person breathing while they were asleep.

Of course she followed him, she wouldn't be caught dead outside when the sun came up. Ha.
She sensed something was bothering him but wasn't about to ask him about it. She was sure that if it bothered him for long enough, that he'd bring it up with her again, like he did last time. She paused in thought and absently looked to the east , staring at how the sky was starting to lighten in anticipation of the sun. Someday, she would be able to see it without having to take her medication and oiling herself up with sunscreen. She sighed and continued after Connor.
"Long and trying, hmm? Well, I suppose it could be."
She put some more hurry into her step, obviously ready to be inside now. "Do you get hot water out here?"
If she was going to be out here for two more days, she was going to make herself at home..and first thing to do was to wash off the horrible residue from the layer of sunscreen that probably has become useless through the course of the night. She glanced back at him, waiting for her answer but also reminding herself that this human has been up for a long time...and weren't humans supposed to go to sleep at night? Maybe it was her fault because he felt he needed to tend to his guest. She'd have to apologize for her selfishness if that was true..even so, she'd have to thank him too...because being an inconvenience to him through the night was worth the guilt of being a bad inconsiderate guest.

*poke*
The sound of sobbing was enough to draw Jake over to the closes spot he could approximate to her location. It was never good if there was crying involved, "hey...hey...are you alright?"
He went over to his bed and slipped the paper back under his mattress before going right back to the wall. He could handle shit, or at least he liked to believe he could...but the crying...the crying of others always broke down his tough guy-ness with concern for them.

She blinked and stared at him for a while after he was done.
God has his plans. He has his reasons. He works in mysterious ways...
These sort of things ran through her head as she looked upon the young man who proclaimed to have died, though she knew he was talking about his soul and humanity.
A vampire who has maintained her humanity, and a human who thinks he's long lost it. It was too perfect to be a coincidence, she told herself. Just when she began to feel like a little girl again, trying to please her silent father, this boy -who was supposed to be her enemy- has come to her with the answer.
Suddenly, after all of the solumn speeches, the dark air around them was broken by her gentle laughter.
"I will come with you."
She got up and went to wrap her arms around him. " I will not falter..."
Yes, she was sure this would confuse him. But God has brought to her a source of inspiration, a reason to keep her chin up, just as she was faltering in her beliefs. She was sure that if she was faltering as much as she had been lately, that she wouldn't be able to keep being good...that she would start not caring about anything anymore. So, even though they had only known each other for a short period of time, she decided that she would make a pact with this man. He was going on a journey to find something that could grant her greatest wish. She would help him, and be repayed by the use of the medallion. In the meantime, she thought, she would need to open the boy's eyes, like he had for her.

When he lifted her chin, she looked into his eyes, and continued to do so for the entire time that he spoke. She too had heard the occasional rumors about a cure to vampirism, but although she longed for nothing more, she had ignored them. Her thoughts on the matter had always been that if there was a legitimate cure for vampires, that it would be wide spread already.
But as she listened to him, it was beyond clear that she wanted to believe him- to believe that her nightmare could have a happy ending. She wanted to believe so much that her eyes were starting to water with how much she wanted it.
Yet when he was done, she found herself pulling away from the thought again. She wanted to believe but tonight had been going so well for her that she just had to be skeptical of how perfect it made her feel. This caused her to smile sadly, and look down again.
"Even if I was the only vampire out there who hasn't completely lost their humanity...I am far from pure hearted, Connor. I hate...I hate a lot. I hate an entire race for being godless monsters, I hate another entire race through my envy of them. I hate the man who changed me and..." she stopped abruptly, realizing where this was going.Quietly, she brought her knees up and rested her chin on them, staring out into the distance. "...I have been...faltering...lately. Perhaps I seem to be a good woman of God...worthy maybe of that cure....but I sometimes have to force it out...because I can convince myself to stay good by saying it out loud..."
