Hey, everybody! Wow, this forum thing is really neat. I wish we'd had something like this back home, it would've made keeping in touch with people a lot easier. It's pretty fun to look through and see all the questions people are asking, and read what everyone has to say! It seems like that's what this is for, right? Asking questions?

Actually, I was hoping I could ask a couple, too. One of them is, for people who have jobs, are your jobs enough to keep you sustained just from the Demichroma you earn, or do you have to accumulate Chroma yourself on the side, too? I don't just mean for splurging at the mall or something — I mean more of, with the moon cycles and all. It feels pretty weird to have to just ask people outright if they'll hold your hand to get some extra Chroma, but I guess around here people don't think that's as bold a thing to do as they would back home.

Anyway, I was a little worried about it, so I thought getting a job would be a good thing to do, but boy! The customers sure are something when there's a moon in the sky!

The other question I had was, I sort of want to go back to school, so I've been thinking of enrolling at the Academy. I'm just wondering if it's hard to balance classes and a job? It's sort of strange to get used to having to sleep again! But I really want to see if there are some opportunities to play music, or maybe do some acting, or dance. I used to know some girls who did ballet and I was always really jealous of how easy they made it look! I wonder if it's too late to learn...

Well, anyway! Those are my questions, and I won't be on break for much longer, so I'll check back when I have the chance. Thanks, everybody!

i'm a vampire, sleep is kind of redundant when you're dead

[doreimi]

A vampire, huh.

Let me guess, that's also why your user name is Dracula? It's a little uncreative, don't you think?

[goneforawalk]

uh

that's my name

so yeah i guess it's uncreative

[doreimi]

...Your parents named you Dracula???

[reimi for GOD'S SAKE]

[goneforawalk]

[doreimi]

Um. This might sound kind of weird, but you know there's a book about you, right?

[goneforawalk]

oh i'm well aware

the ending isn't true but the rest is

i've grown past it, as a person

you know, been domesticated

like a dog

[doreimi]

That doesn't really sound like growing, to me.

You make it sound more like somebody kept you as a pet...

[goneforawalk]

what can i say

a vampire on an unbreakable leash makes a perfect servant

[doreimi]

Seems like a lot of trouble for somebody to go to, just to make you do the dishes and clean up their room.

[goneforawalk]

oh no there's a butler for that

i kill the vampires

and the nazis

and the nazi vampires

[doreimi]

I...guess I didn't really realize there were a lot of those running around. Are there?

[goneforawalk]

well we got most of them during the war but there were some left so they rebuilt

i was about to eat them when i got brought here

[doreimi]

All of them? So...you were winning, then. I mean you were going to win?
