consequences pt. 2
Who: Dorian Gray, Thomas Jopson & ota!
What: somebody's in trouble~. also, lore drop about the Darkwalker powers!
When: mid-June
Where: Milton, the church
Content Warnings: talk about murder.
One day, a note is tacked up to the Milton bulletin board.
Tomorrow evening
Milton church
Murder confession
Blunt? Yeah. But look, he doesn't want to have to tell everybody. Might as well cast a wide net, see who shows up, get this all done at once, never talk about it ever again. Because honestly, Dorian would rather not talk about this. In fact, he's done a damn good job not talking about this for the past month and a half! But one lovely visit from Thomas Jopson and one broken nose later and urgh, fine, alright, he'll be a good boy and confess to a murder. If he gets this done quickly, there will be fewer questions asked. And though he loves talking about himself, he only enjoys it on his terms. And these? Absolutely not his terms.
When enough people have gathered, Dorian (who's sporting a visibly broken nose), gives the assembled group a once-over.
"Right. Might as well get this started. We've all been changed by the Aurora, no need to rehash that nonsense. But during the last change...for mine, the Darkwalker showed up. I don't know what it did, I don't know the entirety of how it changed me, but it did. I suppose the closest thing you can call me now is a vampire. I can't stand the sunlight. I skulk around in the shadows. And I hunger. There's something inside me, a driving hunger that food and drink can't satiate. Only...I don't know what to call it. Energy? The soul? There's something in us, in people that are changed, that I yearn for."
Dorian's voice is very matter of fact. But as he talks, it's obvious this is a man used to spinning a story to get what he wants. His voice softens a bit when he talks about the hunger, he puts a little sadness and yearning in there. For the more naieve interlopers, he really is sad about all this. For the more worldly interlopers, hot damn is this guy trying to actively manipulate people.
"I can satiate that hunger by touching people and...draining them, for lack of a better word. But sometimes, the hunger gets too strong. It's easier to make rash decisions then. Like when I killed a woman in Lakeside, around a month and a half ago."
Dorian lets that bombshell sit for a moment before tiredly musing, "Any questions?"
( feel free to start threads directly responding to Dorian in front of everybody, lingering around to chat with him later, or just talk among yourselves—treat this like an open post! Start your own threads! I'm game! )
