how many people have memories that span centuries
i mean outside the obvs
but like
there was a memory in ye olde fishing village
somewhere in asia or something
then there was a memory in victorian opium den in like england
then there was a graveyard thing ten years ago where a guy danced a bunch of zombies
to life or something and it was stupid weird
and now
france
wwii
and ss officers

oh
apparently ss officers tasted good
or at least my past self thought they did
who knew

but point is
how many people remember centuries of life
its important

Oh they began like that?

I guess you did say it was a fishing village

I didn't connect that.

[lesinset]

i dont remember much of the history
but i think most serf class married young
and even skilled fisherman were serfs
i think merchants were serfs too
until after the reform
idek i forget

but yes he should have had family
even though he seemed lonely

[matchbreaker]

Well to some extent it probably depends how whatever he was works.

The vampires she's a part of are born, like with live birth. They have really long life spans but are distinct from humans. So she could have a family follow her through the decades. If whatever he was wasn't like that they might not live as long

[lesinset]

im not sure how it works
i just got the first confirmation that he was one tbh
i mean leech could be used in any context
he did seem old in some things
just not slowed down or whatever people think

[matchbreaker]

Slowed down? What, you mean just getting old?

[lesinset]

yeah
some people just want to sleep or dont engage
he seems more
like he doesnt care unless its something close to him

[matchbreaker]

I'm still not sure I understand the distinction.

Does his body age?

[lesinset]

not really
i mean the earliest memory he has black hair
now its white
like mine has turned blond white too
but otherwise same age

[matchbreaker]

Huh, odd

I hope that hair hasn't been too much of a bother

[lesinset]

its been ok
makes me look even paler than normal
but honestly isnt as bad as my blue phase

[matchbreaker]

Well that's good. My hair turned purple and overnight it made every outfit I own take on a different context.

[lesinset]

purple really
i could make that work
then again
old school goth
i can make any hair color work
except blue
clashes too much with my skin tone

[matchbreaker]

Yes, it's a light purple too. more lavender actually

[lesinset]

black is def a start
but also i would try pastels
like soft rose and yellows, ones with just a hint of color to mainly whites
course that goes more towards the lolicon looks
which is very doll like and if you want more destructive look
cyber it out
neons and some highlight extensions

[matchbreaker]

I've had it for months don't worry, I know what looks good on me at this point. I'm sure saying it was strange at the time, particularly right after I had to adapt to always wearing sunglasses.

[lesinset]

oh
okay

why sunglasses
does light hurt your eyes too

[matchbreaker]

Yes. It's a trade off for seeing in the dark I suppose.

[lesinset]

i have that too
even light off a phone hurts my eyes
need to get use it i guess

[matchbreaker]

Oh no, you too?

Try changing all the lights in your house to red lights, it's easier on the eyes.

I'm so sorry, are you new to it?

[lesinset]

yes
at least i am not freaking out about no sunlight
at least its a bonus atm

red light
ill look into that
thanks

yes
just got it about three days ago

[matchbreaker]

No, you did get a convenient time for it.

right light helps a lot. I can get by with changing my phone's light a little, but mostly I just dim it and deal with it

And of course i have to wear sunglasses for the day

[lesinset]

my problem is going to be work
im a cook
and there's a lot of light around for the work

but ill figure it out
once things go back to normal i guess

do you have a blood thing or anything like that
i mean having to drink blood or eat stuff not normal

[matchbreaker]

I'm sure you can take to sunglasses or goggles there but yes, that is a real problem

Not yet, no.

[lesinset]

ill look into googles or something
harder to slip off in the heat

are you scared of what will happen when it does appear

[matchbreaker]

Of course I am. Who wouldn't be?
