Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Here, too. It is profoundly unacceptable. I don't think July and I get along.

Dracula could do some kind of mind control whammy, so I think it's fair game as a generic vampire power. Easy to overdo, though.

It's considered one of the standard vampire powers in a lot of the stuff I read.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Including D&D, FWIW.

True. And in the Vampire: the Masquerade system, it's a basic trait. You can just blow XP to really ramp it up and turn everyone into thralls of your will!

(Okay, sometimes I miss the vampire LARP. What?)

I used to have big plans for hypothetical thralls of my will. Right now I can think of no higher ambitions for thralldom than getting Ryan to go potty.

Liese! Our house is Athens is for rent (and sale), but it's a 3br 2ba house, and on the higher end for Athens rents, so I don't know that it would suit your friend. It's more a "family with kids" house than a "single musician guy" house.

And we are around and flexible this Saturday and would love to see you!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I think he's looking more for "room" than "house" but I will mention it to him. I would also caution that I have no idea about this kid and am not in any way advocating for him! I think he's pretty into eastern religion, which for a white son of former hippies, I'm thinking may mean a certain amount of recreational pharmaceuticals.

Yay, Saturday! What would be convenient for you and Steph? Lunch? Graeters? I can take this to email or F2F if we need to!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Lunch and/or Graeter's works for me.
