so what the fuck huh

[murderbooks]

What the FUCK, Rozanov

( it's one thing to read murderbooks, it's another to watch murder livestreams. )

I think he's dead, now. And, I pieced together that the two kidnapped, Giles who works in the library and Amy, are fine. I think he killed someone, though. Actually.

What the FUCK

[coldcock]

Yes, I got that part from death and murdering!!!

And people are mad but not exactly about murder part? 😬

[murderbooks]

I think they're mad about who was murdered. And, also, feminism, I guess. And probably Koby's involvement, since he's the one that puts together the starter guide, so calling him out didn't go well.

What it must be like to have that many friends mad you're taken and/or invoked in, well, murder.

[coldcock]

The pink haired one?

Many people would be upset if I was taken. Murder also, probably. You will only have one of these problems, I think.

[murderbooks]

Yes, he has pink hair.

Being murdered or being taken? One always leads to the other. It's rare anyone taken is actually rescued.

This example, not withstanding.

Also, can we just:

Vampires. Slayers (?). Superheroes. Avengers.

[coldcock]

No. I thought taken means like relationship.

( he knows the different meanings but English is stupid. )

Do Admirals not have kidnap insurance on you?

… That all had to be jokes.

[murderbooks]

I meant kidnapped. I know you're neither, Rozanov. Well, technically we were both taken. And if you believe it, by this house.

Teams don't

You're hilarious.

Did you watch? Angel was a vampire. Without a soul, because apparently there's a distinction. Buffy and Faith were slayers, but also, Ani's code...

"two serial killers who'd rip your head off & shit down your neck
a woman who puts murderers in the ground
a crazy bastard who'd blow your brains out and splash around in em after
a russian agent who makes the kgb look like daycare
a military man who'd bomb your ass straight into a closed casket
a business partner who runs this shithole like it's the mafia
& buffy fucking summers"

Also, Ani just... talks like that.

( nope. he’s not acknowledging that he left scott on read before during his breakdown about this place :) )

Stop being such boring scout boy.

— text

[murderbooks]

( it was a lot. dealing with it himself was a thing. but then he met his vampire roommate and technically took him to the prom. don't look to hard into it. )

And how am I being a boring scout boy?

Do you mean boy scout?

[coldcock]

( looking and judging right now. ) Boy scout. Whatever. English is still stupid.

You made guests here smoothies like charity event no one is paying you for.

[murderbooks]

I made one guest A smoothie. Did you know there was a guest kitchen? One we can use that we won't be kicked out of.

English is stupid. I don't disagree. A lot of words mean five different things.

[coldcock]

Do you even cook?

Yes. Who decided go and though are said the same way?

[murderbooks]

Do you?

That, I don't know. I studied sports science.

( and hockey. )

And not... fiction. How are you doing with all of that here? The stuff we can't explain?

[coldcock]

Yes :)

( isn’t he full of surprises. )

You have to stop calling it fiction and not real. It’s real here. Cannot change it. Just have to figure out if it changes anything for you or not.

[murderbooks]

I don't.

What would it change for me? Did it change anything for you?

[coldcock]

So why do you need kitchen?

Makes it easier to accept that it is reality and move forward. Is life now. Figure out what you need to do to survive.

( this is not unlike his general approach in life, actually. it has been since he was twelve and reality flipped on its head. )

[murderbooks]

To make all my free smoothies.

That's easy. Stay out of the way of vampires.

( or, particularly, befriend one. )

You want to have a drink tonight?

[coldcock]

And you need full kitchen for it?

Tonight? If you can stay up that late, I will grace you with my presence.

[murderbooks]

I need the ingredients in a full kitchen for it.

I'm not even going to ask you how old you think I am. Have you explored any of the different rooms here? Is anything your style?

3 things at Scott notices the week before the event

[gauls]

1. A carving in their front door. A Celtic shield knot cut into the wood by an even hand, but unmistakably, a hand, with all its subtle imperfections. And within the apartment, a second, more elaborate decoration embedded in the door to Scott's own room. (Protection in the old way of thinking—but a lovely decoration, too.)
   
   
2. Once a week, a glass bottle of drinking water delivered to the suite. Upon it, Godric's handwriting, explaining: distilled. (From the lake; the better to engage the protection of a protectress; that she might know you are her family.)
   
   
3. One of his helmets, favored for practicing in the rink, mysteriously goes missing. (He has no way of knowing it makes its way to the bottom of the lake, weighed down by a stone bound up inside of it. Votive offerings were once made of weapons and armor—a hockey player has their own.)

[coldcock]

Can you even put a number on it? I have been to the club, the music room, also gym. I am lazy party guy, you know?

What have you found?

[murderbooks]

You're a lot of things, lazy isn't one of them.

There's a piano bar. A hunting lodge. The Hex Club. Main lobby bar. Pool bar. Many, many choices in bars.

Pretty sure I even saw a Subway. Not suggesting we go to Subway, just, that's a room here, apparently.
