first stab; video

[animator]

[Really, at first, Anita looks nothing short of irate, sitting in front of the camera with her arms crossed. She's already heard every possible explanation from the folks at the hospital, and while she's done her best to take it with a grain of salt, she's not pleased. It's difficult to wrap her head around, honestly, and that's saying something, considering what she does for a living and how often she spends her time ass-deep in myths and legends. All sorts of things that people once thought were fictional but were, in truth, real.

This is just a twist she had never expected.]

The funny thing is that this is only bordering on the weirdest thing that's ever happened to me.

[She's certainly seen worse. Nobody is trying to chain her to a bed and slice her up, so, you know, that's a definite plus.]

I'm sure plenty of other people have shown up and started talking about how this just can't be true, so I'm going to skip that part for now and worry about finding out more about this place. I'll assume we're not looking at an island full of humans, given the circumstances. There's nothing wrong with that, but humor me. I'm curious. Are the police any good, or is it all Gangs of New York up in here?

Oh. Roommates, huh? Convenient, then, meeting like this.

I promise, I clean up after myself. Mostly.

[littledhampir]

Beats you turning up and me thinking you're trying to break in that's for sure.

[She's a hit first, ask questions later kind of girl.]

Oh... good. And I promise... that I don't really have a lot of stuff to leave around so it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I don't suppose you can cook though?

[animator]

[That's fine. So is Anita. :D]

Basic things, though I'm used to living off of takeout. We won't starve, though.

[littledhampir]

Hey, it's going to be a hell of a lot cheaper now I've got somebody to split the bill with.

[I see a lot of pizza in their future.]

[animator]

[And also Chinese food.]

Sorry to disappoint. I make a hell of a bagel with cream cheese, though.

[littledhampir]

[Ya know. If it weren't for the fact that Anita was a Necromancer slash Vampire Hunter and Rose was a half vampire slash medium for the dead, these two would actually be the perfect housemates! Rose loves her some Chinese.]

Nice! I... I microwave like nobodies business so I see this working well for us both.

[animator]

[There will be crazy sitcom-style shenanigans, I'm sure. They can overlook that clash of interests, right? Right? It's not like Anita kills all vampires on sight... anymore...]

It looks like we'll have all of the most crucial stuff covered.

[littledhampir]

[And hey, Rose is really only half Vampire and she too kills the bad ones so ya know. It'll work...]

So I guess I'll be seeing you soon then. I'd offer to come get you but, they don't much like me at the hospital.

[animator]

Don't worry about it, I can find my way. I'll be there soon.

[littledhampir]

I'll be here.

[And with that, Rose ends the feed and rather unlike a normal person... instead of running around trying to make the place look spotless, just waits for Anita to show up.]
