[She's sat on top of the building where she's picked up an apartment, face lit by the feed in her hand and the moon. A faint breeze plays with her long black hair, but she doesn't do anything to stop it fluttering around her face. It doesn't bother her at all.]

So, what is there to do for fun around here? So far this place seems pretty lame.

And that's...natural for you, where you're from, is it?

[Cherise is a little confused. There are levitation spells, to be sure, and flight spells. But Marceline only said that she flew, not 'I cast a flight spell'.]

Are you a sorceress?

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

Sorceress... that's like a fancy word for a witch, right? Pfft, No. Witches only wish they were this cool.

It's natural for me. [...Maybe she needs to introduce herself. A smile that promises mischief.] They call me Marceline, the vampire queen.

['Rubbish.' That's the first thought that springs to Cherise's mind, though that's hardly Marceline's fault. Blame Karina for spinning as many tall tales and excuses as she could to be as lazy as possible.]

And...your world, where you come from. It's a world of vampires, then?

[Video]

[smelltheredinside]

Not completely. [She grins.] Ooo has lots of things in it. I just happen to be queen of the vampires that are around. [As well as heir to the nightosphere if she wanted it, which she doesn't, so... yeah, not mentioned so much.]

[broken_trifecta]

I see. You're...unusually congenial.

[It puzzles her. She thought there'd be more hissing and sultry egotistic behavior, but Marceline seems like a feisty, confident teenage girl. Perhaps Cherise has been watching too much of the telly.]

I'd like to ask you some questions, at the risk of seeming ignorant.

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

You want to know why I'm up here rather than stalking you all and sucking your blood? [....It's only mostly sarcasm.]

[broken_trifecta]

[Cherise smiles, apologetic. Busted.]

I suppose I've read one too many fairy tales. But if you would be so kind as to enlighten me just the same?

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

[She shrugs] There's only so many centuries you can do it before it gets lame to do it all the time. [It's the explanation you're getting, anyway. It may or may not be completely truthful, it's one of those things you'll have to find out.]

[broken_trifecta]

[She's a little skeptical of the answer.]

I wasn't aware that such activities were merely for sport. Isn't it a matter of survival?

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

[She grins a grin that's pointy and mischievous.] You mean they can't be both? [And she knows some dad, even if it's souls he eats who would probably say that it is both. But she's teasing a little bit by saying this, even if that's probably not obvious right away.]

[Cherise just looks...uncomfortable and slightly awkward. Not because of the subject, but because she's not entirely sure if this is a morbid joke, or something to be taken seriously, and she's having a hard time finding neutral ground.]

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

[She pauses as she waits for a response... but a few seconds of looking at that face has her laughing a bit. That should clue her in a little?]

[Video]

[broken_trifecta]

[Her expression doesn't really change all that much.]

I don't see how you can find this funny.

Re: [Video]

[smelltheredinside]

[Because it's both. Always both. Maybe. And she's still snickering.]

Uh, hello? Vampire, dingus.

[...Nah, it's mostly your face.]

[Cherise FROWNS.]

Childish.

[She switches off the radio and tosses it aside. Her and her lack of humor!]
