Okay, everyone, I can't take the silence anymore. What's the consensus on the party Halcyn's throwing? It smells like a trap to me, but that's never kept me from a good time.

[There's a pause here as though he's shifting verbal gears.]

And has anyone else noticed the altars around town? Weird, right?

Maybe not? But I could argue that very little of our situation is ideal, anyway. We just have to adapt and do what we can, and I’ve never been known to back down on a challenge. This all definitely counts as that.

[prodigalvampire]

Maybe I'm way off base here, but in my experience, it's a hell of a lot easier to do things together than alone.

[stickyflippers]

Yeah... Depends on who you’re doing things with, though. Takes a while to learn to work properly with someone, you know?

[prodigalvampire]

Unless you're both about to die, typically, yes.

[stickyflippers]

[That does get a laugh out of Caelan, clearly experienced in that example as he continued.]

High pressure situations do that, I suppose.

[prodigalvampire]

I like to think I work well under pressure. What about you?

[stickyflippers]

Oh, I like to think I do too. A friend of mine might argue that thought, though. She’d say... I’m an idiot with a tendency to get lucky.

[prodigalvampire]

I know someone like that.

[He had the misfortune of being related to him.]
