[Everglade to Genessia - Nighttime Action]

 [So someone convinced Eliot he needed to visit a night club. He is, after all, supposed to be a Living Library. He needs to document all aspects of human history, including the evolution of their night time entertainment. At the time, he thought he needed to check them out or he would be a failure.

Fortunately for him, he had no idea how to get in to such an establishment. Eliot used his pocket watch, unlocked his wiser personality, and marched himself the heck away from a bad decision. Now angry when he is able to recognize being tricked.

If your character lives in Everglade, or wanders the area at night, they may find Eliot walking back to Genessia. He seems to be in a very bad mood. When he reaches Genessia hours later, he will sulk around outside his apartment. Probably kicking benches and generally throwing a tantrum.]

WHO TRICKED ME?! I have the respect not to call you out by NAME over the network, but you had best contact me and own up to your... Your trickery!!! Taking advantage of stupid people's stupidity on purpose is absolutely deplorable,  I will have you know! 

[insert actual hissing.] You're all awful. The people of this world are wastes of my memory. Why do I insist on trying to help such disgusting people, I swear...!!! I wish I could hate you all and be done with this humiliation! [With that, one very grouchy and angry vampire clicks off the video for now. He knows no one actually deserved him lashing out like that, which only serves to make him angrier.]

[action] - Genessia

[immortalrose]

Now all I need to do is add a hint of vanilla extract and---[His train of thought goes out of the proverbial window when he hears something crashing about outside.] Eh?

[Augustine sets down the delightful concoction he's making down upon the counter as he walks towards the window. He moved into Eliot's apartment just a day ago bearing all sorts of house warming gifts for the little vampire. However, Augustine did manage to sneak in a few sweets for himself and was in the process of making a tasty treat when this happens.]

...Eliot? [He arches his brow once he sees that familiar pink and blond hair.] What in the world?

[Augustine opens the window wide and peeks his head out.]

What are you doing down there?!

[anamnestik]

[The sight below would suggest that Eliot had gone and kicked a bench. He's fortunate that said bench was bolted in the ground... also unfortunate, because that made it all the more painful.

He holds his head briefly, before remembering how pointless it is. There's nothing he can do to mute his memories when he's like this. All Eliot can do is gradually lose his mind and temper as he remembers, vividly and miserably, how often he's been tricked or betrayed. Not even the pain of kicking a bolted bench can distract him at this point.

When finally acknowledged Augustine, it's with a silent glare. Don't bother me, is what he would say... If he wasn't instead holding in angry and wordless screams.]

[immortalrose]

Ce? [He stares at Eliot owlishly. Why does that boy look so miffed?] What's wrong with you?

Did something happen?

[Augustine is tempted to crawl out that window and head down there.]

[anamnestik]

[Oh, good. Augustine didn't see his embarrassing tantrum all over the network.

Welp. If he's been blessed that way, then Eliot will not argue. He doesn't really want for anyone to remember the hurtful things he just screamed at strangers. No one deserved what he did.]

... No. I'm fine. Just rewound the pocket watch for a stupid reason and I'm existing. [He hopes that somewhat truthful answer will cut it. It's true that anytime Eliot rewinds the tune on his pocket watch, he becomes this grouchy brat.]

[immortalrose]

A stupid reason? [Augustine let's out a sigh. His ice cream sundae is going to have to wait. It seems that Eliot is having a minor crisis.] What reason?

[Augustine opens the window a little wider so he could slip out. To hell with doors and stairs, folks. He jumps right out the second floor window with ease and lands without even making a sound or breaking his legs. Eliot's apartment is on the second floor.]

You're positively seething. Did someone...harm you?

[Voice]

[singinghuntress]

[His answer? Laughter. Just... laughter.]

[video]

[anamnestik]

I know that's you...!

You did it with malicious intent, didn't you?!

Re: [video]

[singinghuntress]

[It's going to take Rip awhile to calm down enough to talk. Sorry, but, this is just too hilarious to her.]

I did nothing of the sort. I merely pointed something out and made a simple suggestion.

[anamnestik]

Then why all of the laughter?

[youfool]

I would...assume that's because it's often the disgusting people who need the help. Really, Eliot, a "wish to hate"? Pray tell you've only lost your temper.

[worrying stuff, that]

[anamnestik]

So what if I want to hate people?! You would too. In fact, give me one good reason to forgive them. They're just going to use me, over and over, then get angry when I can't take anymore.

[youfool]

[Not the most specific injury, but...]

I doubt you do; hatred has its pleasures, granted, but they're not much fun to hold indefinitely. Well, if there's been no repentance from whoever "they" are, you technically needn't. No sense in being bitter whatever wrongdoing's occurred. Perhaps one could chalk it up to ignorance? Can't be justly angry at people too stupid to know better, eh?

[What tidy morality! Ted vaguely gets the feeling he's, somehow, missing the mark anyway.]

Is this something that would soothe any by being off your chest? I'll leave it alone if it's going the other way.

[anamnestik]

Well, can't hurt to try new hateful things. Might be a nice change of pace compared to being a happy-go-lucky pushover.

[Eliot, you can turn your childish bitter tone down a notch or two.]

It wasn't ignorance. It was definitely just a cruel attempt to make fun of me. When I find that woman, I swear..!

[ivegotadream]

[Rapunzel had no idea of what was going on, but she wanted to check he was okay anyway.]

Did... something happen?

[anamnestik]

[ELIOT DON'T YELL AT RAPUNZEL no....... welp.]

What the hell do you think?! I'm just moody because that's how vampires should be?

Yeah, something happened! Some... WOMAN tricked me into trying to go to a... a-a night club, of all the stupid things! How am I so stupid?!

[It's only after he's gotten that off his chest that Eliot's manners and brain catch up to him. Also, the fact that it's Rapunzel he just yelled at. Someone who has been nothing but kind to him.]

... sorry. I'm... terrible.

[ivegotadream]

Are nightclubs really that bad or something?

[She didn't know how they would be bad as she never went to one, except maybe that one party, but that was something else.]

It's fine, you're just being cranky and maybe might need to sleep.

[anamnestik]

Yes, they're bad. It's full of sins like-- [Actually.

On second thought. After looking her in the face and remembering she's such a good person...

He won't explain the kinds of sinful activities that he associates with night life.]

Tch. I don't sleep. Not like this. My thoughts won't stop spinning. [But he's calming down, somewhat. Even if it wasn't 'this' Eliot who has chatted about music with her or goofed off at a festival, that was Eliot. He remembers her, and caring about her. Enough to get a grip on his angst and stop being hurtful.]

Thanks for checking up on me.

[savage_nymphxii]

Whoever tricked you must have done something GOOD! [She's cracking up.]

I don't know what they did, or who you are, but they deserve my sincerest congratulations. This is TOO good!

[anamnestik]

And I don't know who you are either, but I don't think I'm in any rush to change that.

[savage_nymphxii]

Well now that's your loss isn't it?

[She grins.]

And here I was about to ask if you needed help getting back at the person~ I mean, it fair isn't it?

Oh well.

[anamnestik]

[Oh, how he considered it.

But Eliot bites his tongue sharply before speaking, controlling his words,]

I'm flattered by the offer. But I can't imagine a stranger has any interest in being helpful.

Video - I hope late is okay

[blindpuppet]

What happened this time?

[Enis looks at the video with a raised eyebrow.]

Never too late for a party!

[anamnestik]

Oh, lovely. You do get to talk to me again.

[He's sorry.]

Someone took advantage of my... my stupidity...! I can't believe I let that happen.

<3

[blindpuppet]

Yes, it's me.

[She is very aware that she is herself.]

What did you do that's stupid? [Enis has to refrain from saying 'this time']

[anamnestik]

Tch... Someone convinced the dumb version of me that... That I needed to go to a night club... and research the activities that go on in there.
