Bonjour. I have a question for you all, if you'll indulge me.

How many of you here are immortal? Whether it be by natural means or otherwise. How do you feel about your immortality?

You don't need to tell me how or why you are, I'm simply curious. I myself have lived for 500 years, so I'm looking for kindred spirits, one might say.

Of course if you're not immortal and you know someone who is, I'd be glad to hear that as well. This platform was made to share opinions, correct? I'd enjoy having everyone's different perspectives.

All the best,
Comte de Saint-Germain

Ah, you're the first to share that skill as well.
As for me, I use a door. Which rather unfortunately isn't here, so I'm afraid there won't be much to show.

[ I mean it might also be connected to a sand timer? And his pocket watch? But who knows tbh. ]

Time helps. But people die, and so in a way, learning to stay resilient is a vital part of being immortal. It's something all of us share, I believe.

And not at all. I'm having a rather interesting time speaking with you. I don't think I've heard many of the phrases you've used, but then I haven't spent very long in the 21st century.

[ He's just guessing tbh but at least Sebastian has said "chilled" before. Maybe not about his tits??? Kids are just wild, man. ]

its cool that someone else understands
understands a lot of shit that i didnt even think of
oh holy shit thats handy
mine are uh records is the easiest way to explain it
they did make it so well have to look for your door we can knock one by one and ask if anyones accidentally time travelled instead of went lookin for the bathroom or whatever

[[Time things be like that sometimes.]]

resilience
man i hope i got that shit on lock down
i guess i wont have to worry about it for a while just hit me while we were talkin
sorry man ill try to keep it to a minimum anyway
i got a bad habit of talkin out...
i mean just sayin any old thing

[levampere]

That would be quite an adventure. I'll certainly let you know if I see it.

[ Sometimes they're made for one and sometimes people sneak in, who knows. ]

It's not something you'll need to worry about. As you said, I'm sure you'll have plenty of time to consider it at a later time.
You don't need to censor yourself for me, I've been around for far too long to have not heard worse.
It's simply amusing. In my time, we may speak a certain way, but most wouldn't put it in writing.

[itsknighttime]

man im glad you said i dont gotta censor myself
i dont think i could if i tried
i think it may be against my religion if i think about it too long
ok question
you knew all these cool old dudes
have you gotten their autographs on original scores?
that shit would make you rich in a few hundred more years or not hundred since you got a door back home

[levampere]

I hardly need their autographs when we all live in the same manor.
But I would surely turn heads if I were to try and sell any of their newer, original works. I doubt the world is ready to hear that Leonardo da Vinci never died.

[itsknighttime]

never died?
wait wait wait hold up bro
holy fuck
are you *ALL* vampires?
im betting you know keanu reeves too
im putting my money on that guy being immortal

[[You know, until the whole world blew up. But maybe.]]

[levampere]

They weren't all vampires, originally.

[ Can you believe Dave is the first person he's telling about his cool historical-legend vampire fraternity? Incredible. ]

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with him. Is he some kind of artist?

[itsknighttime]

im just pickin my jaw up off the floor here sorry for the wait
holy shit i didnt even think that
imagine that much time making dopeass music and how good theyre going to be in another few hundred years
shit man thats awesome

[[If he knew that it'd be quite a big thing for him, this is all actually pretty amazing to think of.]]

nah hes an actor
top notch guy
cant prove it but some say hes immortal and theres paintings and shit of him through the centuries
probably coincidence but im not totally buying coincidence anymore

[levampere]

That's how I feel about it, too. I'm glad you agree.
A few hundred years should be plenty of time to create new masterpieces.

[ That's the plan. ]

It's certainly possible.
Some vampires have been known to turn to the stage.

[itsknighttime]

[[For all the things that are running through Dave's head, most of which come with the word 'cool' attached, he's managed to use only one and finally not rambled his brains out.]]

damn man
i cant decide after listening to that if being immortal sucks or if its the coolest shit ever
is your world like made of vampires or you guys gotta hide out with some vintage coffin parties?

[levampere]

Yes. That's usually how I prefer to see it.

[ Both? Probably both. It sucks how cool it is!! ]

Unfortunately, we have to keep our existence a secret, though there's nothing keeping us from hiding in plain sight. My friends all go by pseudonyms for the most part. Or their names are common enough that simply omitting their last name provides enough cover.

After all, who in their right mind would assume that a charming Italian man named Leonardo is the great Leonardo da Vinci, who should have died hundreds of years ago?

[itsknighttime]

well i say you got a few years seniority on me so i go with what you think for now

[[Probably both. It isn't so bad and it helps him not die to stupid things. Only to stupid things that he's busy defending from or fighting for.]]

awh hell nah that is the suck part of the cool but suck
maybe if you just explained you werent bad guys and showed a few people you were pretty cool amigos then theyd be ok with it
then again yeah
especially if hes charming
you guys gonna run into issues when you live long enough to chill with your buddy in the 21st but i guess back then not so bad

[levampere]

It would be nice if that were possible.

I've visited enough times to be aware of the issues we may encounter in the 21st century, but as they say, that is a bridge I will cross when I happen upon it.

[itsknighttime]

well
maybe one day therell be guys like me who will see your not a bad guy and thatll be the bridge instead
just dont lead with the vampire thing and i bet it goes fuckin perfect
classically im pretty sure we got told to stay away from and dont talk to strangers and look what up and happened with my sister i mean yeah theres extenuating circumstances there but it still happened so...
i dunno
i wish you had your door or i could find a damn timeline to be able to tell you

anyway i probably talked your eyes out hope you have regenerative powers
you chill if i hit you up again to chew it out?

[levampere]

There certainly seem to be such people here. And the Prismals are also surprisingly carefree.
But I know very well that most people have negative associations with vampires and I certainly don't blame them.
If anything, being here is a bit like being on vacation.

Not to worry, I've quite enjoyed our conversation.
Please feel free to reach out to me if you wish to talk again.
Take care of yourself.

[ It's like they're talking two entirely different languages but still it worked out... incredible. ]

[itsknighttime]

theyre not bad
im still kind of pissed about the kidnapping thing but ill get over it i guess and hey anyone whos a douchebag to you just ignore them
see normally if you were a creep youd have tried to lure bitches in already and i dont feel lured i just think youre a real interesting

so anyway thanks yeah
you too
if you see a paleass guy with sunglasses throw me a wave
ttyl
