How are you faring?

[highlyemotional]

[ that's a stupid question and she doesn't want to answer. ]

Do vampires celebrate birthdays?

[perfectionner]

I suppose it depends on which birth you'd be speaking of.

[highlyemotional]

The first one not the day I was MURDERED

[perfectionner]

In that case, it is also dependent on the vampire.

We do call the act of turning the dark gift, but not all view it as such.

[highlyemotional]

My dad thinks I'm a monster. So do some of my friends. It's not like it was given out of love.

[ she is too young to see it as a gift, check back next season. ]

[perfectionner]

It is a consequence that is little spoken of. To remain unaging as those around you grow old, and sick, and resent you for what they do not possess.

[highlyemotional]

I'm not sure that is the problem yet. My birthday was Thursday.

[ she looks her age still. ]

[perfectionner]

You might be better off waiting until this ridiculous game reaches a conclusion, if you aim to celebrate.

[highlyemotional]

Well DUH

[perfectionner]

Would you like me to join you in commemorating the occasion, when the time is right?

[highlyemotional]

It's not stupid to?

[perfectionner]

Not at all. My fledgling celebrated his shortly before this ridiculous game began.

[highlyemotional]

You turned Louis?

[perfectionner]

I did.

[highlyemotional]

Did he ask you to?

[perfectionner]

I would not have given him our dark gift if he hadn't asked me for it.

[highlyemotional]

[ she doesn't know if she fully believes him, but vampires like her are honestly easy to make by accident or against their will. she doesn't know how it works for others. ]

How does it work?

[perfectionner]

For us, we drink until our intended is nearly at the point of death, and then we offer our blood to them in exchange.

[highlyemotional]

Seems kind of peaceful

And purposeful.

Can your blood heal people?

[perfectionner]

Not in any great sense, beyond providing the gift itself.

[highlyemotional]

Mine can.

But then if you die with vampire blood in your system you become a vampire so it's kind of a crapshoot sometimes.

[perfectionner]

Is that how you were turned, Caroline?

[highlyemotional]

Yeah

We got into a car accident and it was really bad, I almost died, maybe was dying. Then suddenly I was healing and they were going to release me from the hospital and before I could leave alive Katherine smothered me with a pillow.

[perfectionner]

Was she aware of the vampire's blood that coursed through you at the time?
