Voice (from someone who clearly does not understand modern technlogy)

[remilia_scarlet]

[A feminine, refined voice graces the ears of anyone who might happen to be listening. 'Grace' might not be the right word, however, as judging by what she's saying the woman clearly was trying to reach one particular person. Either she did not care if others heard, or she simply didn't know how to set her communications device to actually send a private message.]

Sakuya. I have changed my mind. A red wine would better suit tonight's meal. Also, bring me something sweet. I have not had anything sweet in days. Do not dally. I will be going out after dinner, so it cannot be delayed.

[Not exactly the most embarrassing mistake, but she sure sounds like a bossy little thing.]

(OOC: Technically open to anyone. If you wanna mock her mistake, just strike up a conversation, or if you dare to flirt with the Scarlet Devil, now is your chance.)

He did, unbeknownst to him, leave me a parting gift.

[Move over, we got Ambrosine "Fucked a vampire and got vampire pregnant" McLich here.]

It's why I find your claim that you were never human most intriguing.

[remilia_scarlet]

All of us were fools in our youth. I was once young as well. In that time I did not know my own power. All I knew was I was different from those around me. People who treated me like the monster they perceived me to be were never seen again. I learned that I was at a level the people around me could not match. I was invincible. I was unstoppable. I was stronger than anyone could ever hope to match.

[A sigh escapes her.]

And than I realized what happened when I pushed too hard. What happened when those who were not content to fearfully huddle in their hovels any longer took action is a lesson I learned well from. While peasants with pitchforks would be more comical than dangerous to me now, it was still enough to teach me the value of blending into human society instead of trying to dominate it. I suppose what I am saying is I, too, lacked common sense in my youth. I may not have been lovestruck, but I still allowed myself to act the part of the fool and nearly ended up dead because of it.

[The last part seems particular interesting to her.]

A gift? And he did not know about it? What...

[Click.]

Wait. Surely you do not mean....is that even possible? I have no experience with...that is....

[She clears her throat.]

A..ahem. But perhaps I merely misunderstand.

uh descriptions of pregnancy involving undead spawn and also blood?

[necroyalty]

It was difficult. I spent months in pain and ravenous hunger, wanting nothing more than my own bed and to see the end of it all, but still chained to my duties.

[That just sounds like normal pregnancy so far, wtf.]

I found myself restless at night, drinking vials of blood I normally reserved for necromantic experiments or summoning rituals just to sate the hellish craving I endured. They had me drink a dragon's blood to give me strength... I know too well the taste of iron, and I don't care to experience it again.

If not for the priestesses who stood by my side all those months, I would have died.

They thought my daughters were stillborn for all of one minute, until scarlet eyes not unlike yours were opened and one priestess nearly died of shock.

So yes, it's not something one is likely to survive without a lot of help. And I doubt it works the other way around.

But it's certainly possible.

Much as I love the dears, I recommend no one ever do what I did.

Worry not, I am far from squeamish

[remilia_scarlet]

So, I was not mistaken after all. It seems your life is composed primarily of things I thought nothing more than myth. I have known countless supernatural creatures. I am served by faeries, surrounded in youkai, and yet you present two things I have never encountered in all my years. When you responded, I felt nothing but annoyance as I merely wanted to inform my maid of a change to dinner plans. I did not imagine you would be able to pique my interest so.

Would it surprise you to know I, too, have family I care about? Though we are separated as I am in this world and she is not, I have a younger sister. Dear Flandre is a willful and difficult to control girl, I am afraid. I, however, would and have taken lives if someone was foolish enough to threaten her. A threat against her is a threat against the Scarlet name, and I do not tolerate threats. I do not and likely will never have children, but I understand well what it means to care about family, even when it is difficult. And believe me, she is proficient in being difficult. Still, we are of the same bloodline. I would do much to keep her safe. I imagine you understand that feeling.

Re: Worry not, I am far from squeamish

[necroyalty]

No, I hardly find anything surprising anymore.

[She's 100% serious about that.]
