It's pretty simple. This post is open. You can tag it with someone with a request or to be surprised, prompts optional (though if you leave it up to me it will probably be ridiculous), and let's have some fun. Muselist is HERE.

Have fun my dears.

[Most of TC is run down and gives the impression of being uninhabitable. They're in the process of fixing it up, but ten years of decay is hard to get out of the walls.

He leads the way through a series of buildings until they open doors to a wide room full of TV screens, weapons and, of course, transgenics. Most of them could pass for human but there's a fair chunk of them that can't their animal traits overriding their human ones.]

And this is Ops.

[Jessica looks around the place curiously. It's definitely different than most places she's seen.]

This is where you live?

[im_apimp]

Sort of. This is base of operations. Some of us have places in the city that we keep up for appearance's sake, but for those of us that can't, we live here.

[cheeto]

Do you have another place, or do you stay here?

[im_apimp]

I still mesh with the human world, so yeah. Someone's gotta bring home the bacon.

[cheeto]

You help support the others here? That's real admirable of you.

[im_apimp]

[He shrugs]

We're all from the same place. You don't abandon your unit.

[cheeto]

Not everyone's got that sorta loyalty

[im_apimp]

It's one of the few good things Manticore taught us.

[cheeto]

At least they taught you. Back when I first got turned, well Bill didn't deal with me too much. Kinda had to learn things on my own.

[im_apimp]

Why didn't he want to help you?

[cheeto]

He didn't really wanna sire me to begin with.

[im_apimp]

So why did he?

[cheeto]

He didn't have a choice. It was punishment for killin' another vamp.

[im_apimp]

[Alec's face frowns a bit.]

So if you kill one, you have to replace them?

[cheeto]

Somethin' like that. Or you get killed in punishment.

There are exceptions, of course.

[im_apimp]

... Yikes. That sucks.

[he glances back to her.]

Did you get a say in this?

[cheeto]

Nope. I was kidnapped and forced into it.

[im_apimp]

I'm sorry.

[cheeto]

It ended up alright in the end. I mean, if I had stayed human and with my parents my life woulda sucked a lot more.

[im_apimp]

True. But if you're gonna be killed and turned into a vampire, you should probably at least have a choice in the matter.

[cheeto]

It woulda been nice, sure. But that wasn't in the cards for me. Bill needed to be punished and they figured makin' him turn a young teenage girl would be the perfect way.

[im_apimp]

Yeah, I guess so.

[still sucks.]

But hey. It all worked out. You're here now.

[cheeto]

Exactly. That's how I choose to look at it.

[im_apimp]

Good. That tends to be the way we look at it too.
