First Bite [Video] Dated to Thursday

[donteatmyfries]

[The video feed shows Marceline as she strolls through the forest, staying in the shades of thetrees. She is dressed in her New Feather grab. She hums idly to herself before speaking, looking somewhat friendly and casual.]

Hey, guys. I've already taken a look through this book, so you can save the boring explanations. This Luceti's a pretty far-out place, huh? I've been to a whole lot of places in the land of Ooo, but I've never really seen a place like this. It's actually pretty dull next to Ooo. And it's pretty weird to see so many humans in this book, and not even a single candy person. I know one loser at home who would get a kick out of that.

But enough about me. How about you? To be more specific, how about one of you who can find me in this forest and bring me some kind of umbrella or something. I'd like to check out the shops pretty soon for my swag, and I wouldn't want to get... a sunburn? Yeahhh, that. And the person who helps me, will be rewarded by... [her eyes glow red, and her face shifts slightly to look more demonic] me promising not to eat any of their pets!

[Her face relaxes to normal, and she laughs.]

I feel like I'm gonna have a lot of fun with all the bozos here. By the way, my name's Marceline. The Vampire Queen!

[Marceline's eyes go red again, and she hisses.]

[...Vampire queen? Candy people? OK, this person is officially the strangest person Rei's run into in Luceti. A ridiculous VAMPIRE here, talking about all kinds of strange stuff.]

Good afternoon, Marceline-san. My name is Rei Hino. I can bring you an umbrella. I wouldn't want you to burst into flame or anything. Where are you, so I'll know where to go.

[Voice]

[donteatmyfries]

Well, Rei, hmm... It looks like I'm near a tree that's by a bunch of other trees. If you can find me, maybe I'd appreciate it.

[Voice]

[faithfulflame]

Thats...pretty vague. Can you give me any hints about...maybe...which set of trees you may be lost in?

[She sighs]

Can you hear any water running in the distance? Is there a New Feather station nearby? How about the sun? Which side of you is it on?

[Voice]

[donteatmyfries]

[She rolls her eyes.]

Yeah, I hear some water. It's really boring. And the sun is... I think it's a little more to the right. I'd prefer not to take a better look.

[pause]

Oh! And I have an awesome clue. This one tree I'm by right now, it has one branch that looks just like a baby's arm.

[ voice ]

[deceases]

[ ... 'Vampire Queen'.. great, here we go again, huh? Then again, Natsuno's curiosity beats how bothersome he feels it might be, so he does speak up. ]

Are you honestly this 'Vampire Queen'?

[ voice ]

[donteatmyfries]

Duh. I'm definitely no Vampire Butler.

[ voice ]

[deceases]

You're just a little different from the other vampires I've seen, that's all. And I haven't heard about them having a queen either. [ He does realise it's because of the difference between worlds and all, but still. Any information helps. ]

[ voice ]

[donteatmyfries]

You can't expect them to talk around whoever's in charge of them all the time. You get lots of vampires here? It'd be nice to have some subjects around.

[Voice]

[estelle_bright]

V-vampire queen...??

[Estelle does an unseen doubletake at the journal, but it can pretty much be heard in her voice anyway.]

Vampires have queens? Vampires exist?!

[Voice]

[donteatmyfries]

[She laughs]

Everything has its own princess or queen, dude. Who else would boss everyone around?

[Voice]

[estelle_bright]

What? Hey, that's not what queens are supposed to do! It's their job to take care of people and ensure the safety of the kingdom!

[Voice]

[donteatmyfries]

That's a really boring job. I'll stick with doing whatever I feel like. Most vampires can take care of themselves anyway. I'll leave hugging every subjects and tucking them into bed for those dull princesses who get kidnapped all the time.

[Voice]

[rageface]

[Ragna isn't even going to mutter an inappropriate response about coming from somewhere called Ooo, even though he wants to. No, he's going to be a jackass for a completely different reason. And it's totally because he knows vampires too.]

Not much of a Vampire Queen if you can't take the sun, are you? [He regrets nothing.]

[Voice]

[donteatmyfries]

[She scoffs and squints at the icon, then states confidently.]

I can take anything this place throws at me. But I'd rather not get a glare in my eyes while looking for some dumb silver-haired dudes to attack.

[Voice]

[rageface]

[Oh, was that a diss. Ragna doesn't like getting dissed.]

So, what? Then you're just using the sun for excuses? Glares aren't that big of a deal.

[Voice]

[donteatmyfries]

My glares are a big deal. What makes you think I can't just melt your ears off with vampire vision?

[voice]

[sundead]

[huh. Vampire. Though she sounds new, so it's probably not the dangerous one Sabriel was talking about... Some of that is interesting enough to reply to though.]

So you're a vampire and you actually do have a problem with the sun? [Because 99% of the ones he's met haven't. He's the one who has to deal with that.]

[voice]

[donteatmyfries]

Yeah! Look at it up there, shining all the time like some really smug dork. I bet it smells really weird, too. The moon's a lot cooler. It throws the best parties.

[voice]

[sundead]

Aside from the moon and parties thing I think I can agree with you.

[voice]

[chibifalenas]

If you like I'm at the river by the forest and I have my umbrella. Since we're both Queens helping each other out probably is a good idea.

[voice]

[donteatmyfries]

Come on over, then, Queenie! [Darkly] If you dare!

[voice]

[chibifalenas]

Daring sounds less boring than sitting at the river reading. What part of the forest are you in?

[Voice] /is totally not late, sob

[thatsnotcute]

[Perona comes onto this post nearer to the end than the beginning. She catches the request for an umbrella, and pays it little mind. She'll let someone else deal with this newcomer than having to go out of her way. However, she's reeled back in once she sees the vicious look and red eyes and--

Vampire. Vampire Queen.

Omigosh. ♥ So, this one's really a vampire? Like...really real vampire? The ones that drink blood, and wear all kinds of dark and beautiful clothing, live in big, dark castles with bats and fangs and claws and wolves and big full moons and--FFFF!! ♥♥♥

Excuse the poorly restrained giddy tone as a Perona finally catches her breath enough to reply.]

...You're really a vampire?

[Voice] totally welcome

[donteatmyfries]

Yep. I'm probably the realest vampire there is.

[Voice] yaaay. ;u;

[thatsnotcute]

[Aaaah...omigod, omigod, omigod--]

Do you still need help? I can come and get you with my parasol! [The cute, red, demon-shaped one.] It's big enough that you can hide under it as well as you want.
