TlalocWoah, that is kind of freaky haha! We both even started with "As for how.." Dude, we're on the same wavelength :D I like your idea of them being changed by the same vampire; that way, we could say they both went through the initial struggle and "coming to terms with their new selves" phase together.
Man, that really sucks D: Those assholes!! D< You've probably heard this a million times, but everything gets better when you get to college. People are cooler and more chill and you're surrounded by so many new people that there's no pressure to be part of a soul-sucking clique. You just find people you like. But it sounds like you've done that already so that's cool :) You sound like a really intelligent, motivated, passionate person. No way should you hang around low-lifes who are going to bring you down!! D< You're not even gonna be bothered by them soon because you'll be some famous dancer somewhere and have way more interesting, worth while people to occupy your thoughts. ..Ah, I'll get off my soap box now lol. See how I need a little sister to give my "wise" life advice to? xD
Ah man, I don't think I did :/ I wanted to like Rosalie.
EDIT: Oooh I love!! Dang, how did you find such great pics so fast?? She looks perfect for the part. Shall I be some white Southern boy? x)

As for how we met, we could make it so that one of our characters "turned" the other. And that's why they're so close. There's so many interesting time periods we could have them come from. My mind automatically goes to like the American Civil War period, or maybe the Great Depression. Or the goldrush/wild west era. Ack, I'm stuck in American history x)
Oh btw I love forever21! xD
Oh btw I love forever21! xD
Yeah, I had that same thought, about them already knowing Mila somehow, that way they can recognize her. We could make it so that they had a brief run in with her in the past. Something sort of neutral, like they were briefly hunting partners, back when Mila was still into reckless feeding frenzies. They would balk now, to see the way she goes about finding semi-permanent arrangements. Humans are all the same playthings to them, except some taste better than others. So they'd be amused by her and be like, ok that might be fun for a while but we know you'd rather do it our way, come hang out with us again.
I totally don't mean to make all the decisions btw, feel free to add to this or change something! I won't feel obligated to go along, and I'm definitely not going to shut you down x) But speaking of that, I'm a pretty good listener when it comes to long, complicated stories, in case you want to vent or anything.
Oh I forgot to say I'm judging you about the Twilight thing. Just kidding, I enjoyed the first one just as much as the next pre-teen girl. I liked Alice in particular. Never finished the third book though.
Oh yeah and the concert tickets were for Rascal Flats, so it was cool, but I'm not really a fan of theirs x) I gave them to some friends who I knew would appreciate it more than I would.

I'm sure they don't think it's annoying at all, they're probably glad/relieved to have someone nice and interesting to chat with for a few minutes before it's back to obnoxious, entitled people. At least that's how I am! The ongoing conversation people are almost always patient and understanding when there's an issue with their transaction or some other problem comes up, so I love them. Still, some of them tell me more than I guess I would probably tell a cashier x) Geez, I'm trying to think of a good example, but I'm drawing a blank haha.
I like seeing my teachers outside of class too, it seems to remove some kind of barrier somehow and make it easy to approach them. At least, I feel that way with my college professors, I don't think I always thought that about my high school teachers x) Except my psychology teacher who was the mom of one of my friends. She was awesome.
So you think we should each write up a quick bio/background thing for our new vampires? I think it might be helpful, since we have to know each other right from the get go.

Lol I can't help but picture a tiny, bossy girl, making demands at people and wearing shorts on her head xDD hahaha I should draw that. And sweet, yeah I'll make another thread for art related stuff x)
You totally helped/more than that, made the call :D You say you don't help with plots? That kinda surprises me actually, I would think you'd come up with some fantastic plots. You certainly help move the story along really well.
Yeah, suppressing violent urges is just part of the job, especially one that has any kind of customer service aspect to it x) That's true about the double-edged sword...I'll just have to save my punches for tomorrow night x) Idk, I exaggerate a little about people being rude, most of them are actually pretty nice or just indifferent. Some people will tell you anything though xD I have ongoing conversations with some people that we pick up again whenever they come to my register. Other people will just give me stuff, like magazine, candy, tips, coupons, I got concert tickets one time, crazy stuff! And then there's the usual creepy old guys *shudder* And lots of people my age who are my favorite because a) I can relate to them and b) they know how to use the debit machine. Once, one of my professors came into the store. Oh god xD I didn't see him until I started scanning his groceries and said the usual "Hi, how are you, did you find everything-.. oh! It's you!" xD It was actually pretty cool, we had a fun conversation. He didn't know I worked part-time and I think it's given him a good impression of me.

I've always thought it would be cool to have a sister x) The grass is always greener.
You were a girly girl? xD I was such a tomboy. I'm not really any more, but I guess there are still some tomboyish things about me lol. Oh I used to draw all kinds of outfits, mostly fantasy-type stuff when I was younger. I don't draw as much costume/fashion drawings right now, since I'm so focused on page layout, web graphics, logos, stuff like that, but I still do it for fun sometime. I'll have to scan some drawings some time and show off to you. x)
Ooh yes, I love the sound of a little power-play dynamic between those two >) That will be fun. Pfft, yeah, what am I thinking, we got this x) Two pros like us.
Haha! xD Yessss, finally I have someone on the other side to smuggle me out, I can do anything now! xD But yeah, unfortunately there are times when I feel like that... Luckily pretty rare though, I have a lot of regular customers who like me :D aww. And no one was bitchy to me during my whole shift today yay! Guess I'll have to practice the old fashioned way.

Mila noticed that distant look in Charlie’s eyes and wondered what the girl was thinking about so intensely. She watched as Charlie suddenly looked away. To her surprise, the girl’s gaze quickly met hers again and this time she held fast, despite the fact that her face was turning crimson. Mila liked this kind of challenge; her unblinking eyes turned just a touch mischievous as she waited for Charlie to be the first one to break away again.
Was she just imagining it, or was her roommate intentionally moving closer? Mila adjusted herself so that she was sitting cross-legged, her knee touching Charlie’s thigh now. She made no attempt to move it away as the girl described her theories about vampires in pop culture.
"But really, it can't even be physically possible. What about diseases or varying blood types? Wouldn't they factor in?"
“Hm, who knows,” she drawled, raising her eyebrows. “Maybe it’s like, different blood types taste differently or something. And some vampires greatly prefer one type over the others. What’s your blood type, O negative?”
It had been so long since she’d seen the film that she hadn’t remembered the scene that startled Charlie. This made for a pleasant surprise when she heard a shriek and felt a small hand slip suddenly into her own. Mila laughed, her incisors flashing openly for a split second before she remembered to cover her mouth. “Ahh, that one really got you, didn’t it~,” she teased. She gave Charlie’s hand a squeeze, just before the girl pulled it away.
"And now I feel silly."
“You shouldn’t, it was cute~” she chuckled, watching as the curtain of blonde hair fell between them. Mila reached out and tucked Charlie’s hair behind her ear.
“I guess I’m…just not in the mood to drink wine tonight after all.” She sounded distracted as she watched the red liquid pass through Charlie’s lips. This was so all torturous. Her fingertips curled in pleasurable agony as the girl pulled the glass away again and she saw that the red wine had colored her upper lip a little darker. It would take nothing, nothing to reach out and cup one soft side of her face with a firm hand, guide her forward to her own lips…
Humans had the most endearing reactions to those kinds of things. So often they drew themselves to her willingly, even when she was sure a voice in the back of their minds was whispering danger. If there was one thing she had been able to perfect over the many years, it was knowing precisely how to soothe that little whisper of doubt into submission – stroke it carefully and quietly until it was no longer strong enough to resist.
“Charlie..” she began, her voice dropping low again, "I.." She might as well have had half a bottle of that wine for how light-headed and impulsive she was feeling at the moment. Mila was leaning toward her now, a hand removing the wine glass from Charlie’s grip and setting it aside. “Do you..?” The questions lingered unfinished as the vampire touched her arm, turning the motion into a caress. Her nails lightly scrapped the skin as she dragged them up to her shoulder, then to her collar bone, all the way to her chin to tilt it up as she’d done before. She was going too far, and she knew it. But another wave of hunger made her grip on Charlie’s chin just a touch firmer.
She was crossing a line that couldn't be uncrossed again. Her eyes were still black from hunger, and she knew they would appear dilated to girl. They studied Charlie's features slowly and deliberately. Ravenously. A thumb moved to rub over the girl's lower lip, dragging it down until her mouth was slightly open. Mila exhaled, and it was almost a shudder. "Your lip is red. From the wine," she breathed.

That's impressive though :D The tumblr photoshoot with your sister sounds fun, are you guys close? I have a younger brother, who's much taller than I am, and our bonding activities include slamming into each other as we practice soccer or hockey in the backyard/driveway haha xD
Oh I think one of my friends wanted me to read The Memory Keepers Daughter, I do want to check that one out. My ten year old self was not as interested in books as she should have been and more interested in rolling around in the dirt outside lol. We were living in Texas when I was ten and I just remember living outside with the other neighbor kids. I really owe it to JK Rowling for getting my kid self interested in reading. After I consumed the first two Harry Potter books, I had to find books to tide me over until the next one came out x) And it was the first Lord of the Rings movie that got me into drawing! I was totally sheltered growing up, as far as watching R rated movies, even pg-13 lol. LOtR was like the first non-Disney movie I saw and it sort of blew my mind. Then my dad bought me the concept art book for Christmas and I became obsessed with drawing scenery and characters and costumes, etc.
Yay, we shall make it totally evil and action-packed x) I think I want to play a male vampire. We should go ahead and hash out the details of these two friends' relationship. Professional, flirty, antagonistic? Personally I think antagonistic would be fun x) Like siblings, but they're not related. Think we can pull that off?
I have to work form 3-11pm again tonight ;_; Whhhhhyyy, why do they always give me long shifts and make me train everyone D: D: D: D: Help me Dx I swear if any crazies start arguing prices with me I'm just going to practice my drop kicks with their groceries D<

Oh, that's so sad ;_; That would be a rough movie to see after something like that. A few days ago, an older man who came to my register was being a real jerk to me for no reason, but I stayed sweet and as I handed him his receipt, his whole demeanor changed and he apologized and told me he was about have his dog put down. It made me kind of emotional after that.
Ooh modeling, get it girl! xD That's pretty cool. Do you have a lot of experience?
Haha, *cries* xD You're killin' me. They really are that good, huh? I mean, eh? Ok, I'll check those three out, maybe get on on audiobook for when I finish David Copperfield. Yep, it's by Charles Dickens. It's really good. I remember we were supposed to read Great Expectations when I was in 8th grade and I hated having to read it with a passion, but I read it again a year ago and couldn't put it down! 8th grade was waaay too young for me to catch all the subtleties and humor x)
Yeah exactly, I think we could easily spice things up. How about, the two new vampires are long time friends. This part of town has been their hunting ground for a long time so when they discover Mila, there's some automatic tension. They could run into her any number of ways. Maybe they decide to chow down on Charlie one night and Mila steps in. Or joins ins, I don't know >) We'll see. Or they run into Mila first and want her to be a part of their team. She may or may not have issues with their feeding habits.
I think she should find out soon, like tonight, the RP's tonight.

Remember that you're not a weirdo, ok I'll try ;) But yeah I'll check it out! I haven't read Marley and Me but I want to! I loved the movie even though it was like an arrow to the heart at the end.
Just keep taking pictures if you want to get better! And better yet, show them to people who know about photography and ask them to critique it. There are lots of online tutorials too that give you some basic info about framing, focus, rule of thirds, all that stuff.
I've actually never read a single Steven King novel, isn't that terrible? xD I'd probably like them, I don't know why I never have. Right now I'm listening to David Copperfield on audiobook. I love audiobooks cuz I can "read" while I cook dinner and stuff.
Hey so I had an idea for our RP and I want to know what you think. I had in mind that Mila isn't the only vampire running around in the area. She's met a few in the past but most of them have been pretty barbaric even by her standards. It might be interesting if Charlie and Mila ran into some of these vampires with more "traditional" views on human/vamp relationships. We could each play one. And I think this should happen after Charlie discovers Mila's secret.
