Is nothing on TV or are you two trying out a new game?

No, it's...badness.

I just found out some stuff...about my grandmother? And I think my granddad needs to know. I have to tell him...but it's going to kill him, I *know* it.

Talk about a party pooper, eh? *sigh*

Badness? Like, serious badness, the black cloud red eye Mordor is watching you type? You're not having a shiny night?

*frowns and thinks for a moment* Family secrets gone bad?

Yeah, pretty much.

But these family secrets? They could be *good*...but I know they won't be.

[locked]

I just found out that my grandmother *knew* that my granddad was a vampire. She knew ALL ALONG.

Isn't that always the problem...

[locked]

Uhh... and? I mean, it's not like you're making it a big secret? I remember your granddad shoving them into people's faces at our party. Not literally of course. I hope. I haven't heard any complaints yet.

Amen to that.

[locked]

*shakes head patiently*

No...she knew back in 1963, she knew *when it happened.* Granddad was still passing for human back then, the Paranormal Uprising didn't take place until 1970! He left my family back in '65 because he was in danger of being exposed...lived in NYC under an assumed identity until it all went down. When he came back, yeah, he was 'out of the coffin,' but he never told Grandma!

See where I'm coming from?...

[locked]

Lots of confusion?

Hey, you look familiar!

Nice hair!

Whoa. Dude. What freaky LOST version of Twilight Zone did you just emerge from?

Edited 2008-02-08 23:27 (UTC)

I didn't!

That I know of.

You?

Rian, lass, what's happening? Can I help?

I don't think anyone can.

[locked up *tight]

My grandfather left his family in 1965...before the supernatural went public? He didn't want his secret to get out and destroy his family. By the time the Paranormal Uprising went down and Granddad went home, Grandma was dead.

Not only was Grandma a practicing witch and never told Granddad? But she knew...she *knew*, Ru. She knew he was a vampire the whole time and never said a *word.*

I know I have to tell him...he *needs* to know, but...it's going to kill him, I know it!

[locked]

Now then, you shouldn't take on so. Yes, it'll be hard for him to hear, but your grandda's a strong man. He'll surely be all right.

[locked]

Eventually, yeah, but until then? I'm gonna lose my grandpa for a long time. I know it. He's just...gonna pull away.

I hate that this thing could comfort him so much, but it's going to hurt him so bad before it does.

He may need a little time, but he loves you too much to pull away for long.

Here. *tucks a business card into her hand* If either of you need someone to talk to ...

*takes card, smiles and nods*

I will...*we* will. Ru, I...

*shakes head and smiles again, holding onto the card a little bit tighter*

Thanks...thank you.

You didn't sign up to become a vampire hunter, did you?

I might as well have...it's bad, Snake, it's *really* bad.

[locked]

I had a PI research the coven my grandmother was a member of...that's how I got in touch with them.

The crones of the coven, Ruthie and Eugenia? They had my grandmother's old journals...real ones, stuff about her magic and everything.

Snake, she knew...about Artie. She knew what he was...she even knew he was leaving because of what he was. You can't *believe* the stuff that's in here...she knew, and she was just...

He needs to see this stuff...she loved him so much, and it's all here, but knowing this is going to kill him...

God, I'm crying again.

Sweetheart. Sometimes a man's got to leave even if she knows and he loves her.

I should know I walked out on one too because of what I was. I know she knew and it killed me to walk out. Still kills me because she's still alive out there somewhere.

I grew up hearing all this stuff about my grandma...what a great person she was, how much my grandfather loved her...

She wrote him a letter in her journal in an entry about how she forgave him...about how she loved him...

I'm hurting for this woman I never even got to know, and Granddad...ultimately, I know he has to see this. And I know, ultimately, it will be such a comfort to him.

But between the now and the ultimately, he's going to be devastated, and I'm just...

They both went through so much, and they loved each other so much. Why does shit like this have to *happen?*

You know. There are days I wish I knew if Katherine was alright. Wish for a letter or hear something on the streets. He might not be as devastated as you think.

Eventually, no...but to start? He'll be a mess.

She was dead by the time he came back to my family. That's haunted him his whole life, and to find out he could have been there at the end?

It even hurts *me* a little. I just know how he's gonna feel and I feel so *horrible* for him!

Maybe that haunting will stop knowing he was there with her, even just in thoughts.

Snake frowned. I think I need to take a trip.

I don't know, I just don't...

*blinks* Haminanwanow...What? Where? Where you going?

Well tell him if he wants to talk over drinks, I'm around.

Snake sighed and shook his head. Somewhere I can't take you.

I'll tell him that...but hold on, you...what...but...what...*sputters and frowns* I didn't even get a chance to harass you about taking me! Not fair!

How long will you be gone?

This isn't something I want to be harassed about.

Few days maybe. I'm not sure.

Well...tough. You're getting harassed. See? This is me harassing.

.....

...okay, I'm done. I won't pester you for details...since you're being all Abrupty McRandom, I'll assume it's important.

Can you tell me about it later? And do you *promise* me not to come back hurt or dead or worse? *And* promise me you won't do anything stupid? I swear, I will *hex* your ass if you do something stupid and get hurt or dead or worse...

*sigh* *deep breath*

Sorry. I'm still a mess. Forget all of that except the hex part. I'm not harassing, I'm really honestly not.

*hugs Snake* Promise you'll be back in a few days. In one piece. Or at least live pieces.

I can't come back dead. Did you forget? Snake sighed and frowned. I'm going to find Katherine. I'll be back in one piece.

Just because Demon Pants can bring you back doesn't mean you won't die. Dying is unpleasant. You are my friend. I don't want you to die. Even a little bit. So shut up. *small smile*

Okay, I feel better then....but CALL ME if I can help! Not only am I nosy, but my dad's friend Michael is dating a seriously large private investigator.

And that is the extent of my buttinsky. I promise. Good luck, okay?

I barely notice anymore.

Snake frowned. That's the last person I want to get involved. She has a death warrant on her head.

Thanks. I'll be fine.

That's why you have *me.*

That's no problem...Tasha can't die, she's immortal.

You better be. *grin*

I meant Katherine not this other... Snake cut off in a grumble when he realized what he was about to say about her friend.

Aww, *Snake*...

Go on...'bitch.' It rhymes with 'witch.' And, I might add, we both fit the bill, so it's not rude.

~~You big teddy bear...I knew I could count on you to cheer me up.~~

That wasn't the word I was going to use.

I'm aware. See, now I'm being naive on purpose? So I don't have a reason to get even *remotely* annoyed.

See how much I love you? *smirk*

If you're being naive on purpose tell me what you thought I was going to say.

*huffs*

Well, if you expect me to list all the other rude, vulgar, and nasty words for 'bothersome woman,' we'll be here for days.

'Bitch' is the only one that doesn't annoy me, that's all. :P

That's the perfect reason to choose one of the others. I prefer cunt myself.

That's *so* the one you were gonna use, wasn't it? I *knew* it, I *knew* that was the one...:P

"Fucking cunt" really. And you didn't know shit.

Yeah...forgot to drop me an 'f bomb' up in there...and dude, I know all. I see all.

By the way? There's a great big tranny out there that wants to kick your ass. Should I let her, or should I play dumb blonde? Please say dumb blonde, I'm *really* good at it...:P

You saw Carjack? Fuck that bastard.

He's totally looking for you...and dude, does he *know* how butch he looks? SERIOUSLY, I've seen better chicks with dicks in the West Hollywood Halloween Parade. *giggles*

What dick? Snake sighed. Carjack can just go the hell away.

You can't *seriously* tell me that asshole went all the way?

*giggles*

Oh, *man!* *giggles some more*

All for my love. I should be flattered. Is obviously disgusted and unimpressed.

*squeals sharply and burst into giggles*

OHMYGOD. YOU MADE A FUNNY!! A ridiculous, silly, fantastic funny that has officially given me sarcasm poisoning!!

Snake...you made a funny that *I* would make!!

*pretends to wipe away a tear*

I'm so proud! I think I might cry! :P
