I don’t know. Who doesn’t love a witch?

Excuse the hell outta you?

And apparently quite sensitive, as well.

*raises his hand* They tend to be hard to manage.

Maybe you should stop “managing” them. They’re people. Not Quickbooks.

The only thing I'm sensitive to? Is your presence. Damn well allergic, even. Might have a reaction.

In my experience, mate, you have to manage a witch...or she will attempt to manage you. That leads to all sorts of problems. My mother was a witch...

And yet...here you are.

*smirk* I thought you lot had herbs and all of those 'natural' remedies for such allergic problems. Though you might find other reactions to me more...permanent.

Standard mun disclaimer: Forgive my muse...Klaus is a bit of a dick.

Not my choice, remember?

[Long hard look.] Why don't you just tell me what you want so that I can tell you to go to hell and be on my way?

Zero worries. Very well aware of who Klaus is and the VD/O fandoms :). For reference, Nora is comparable to Vincent and really not a fan of vampires/happy to drive them out of New Orleans.]

We all have a choice, lovely one. Even if it is only to live or die.

I am looking for a particular one of your kind. Her name is Jane Ann Deveraux. Any idea where I might locate her?

LOL...oh, good. Some folks get offended by Klaus. I also write his two siblings, so it can get a bit loud up in my brain.

Profound.

Jane Ann, Jane Ann. Hm. Nope. No idea. Last I heard, she was living it up in Brazil or something. Or was it Timbuktu? I forget.

I get it. My mom is a robot and there’s alway that threaten of Skynet. Amirite?

Robot? That must make for interesting family reunions.

Not familiar with Skynet, but I find that there is always a threat from one enemy or another. Werewolves, uppity witches, nasty humans...one must always be on their guard. My brother calls me paranoid, but is it really paranoia if they are actually out to get you?

I think not.

Aren't I just a regular Socrates?

*predatory smile* You wouldn't lie to me, would you, darling? I tend to take that quite...personally...

One can only hope.

Who's being sensitive now?

If we had family reunions. I wouldn't call us close.

I get it. Reformed superhero here. I can't stand being scared all the time. So I drink! [He gives Klaus a big grin as he pulls out a flask, seemingly out of nowhere, and took a long pull off it before offering it to the vampire.]

My family reunions tend to end with my sticking a dagger through the heart of one of my siblings...before putting them in coffins for a few decades. That, or killing one of my parents. We never seem to make it to the dessert course.

*chuckles and takes a sip, before handing it back* The trick, mate, if to scare the hell out of them, before they can scare you. I happen to be quite the expert on being the most evil one in the room...a gift, really. You see, women may say they like heroes, but the villains...well...we always have a lovely to charm.

Actually, that is a lie. I'm not regular at all.

Jane Anne is plotting against me. *flashes fangs and yellow eyes* Or so I hear. Now, if I have a chat with her, I am sure we can clear up whatever delusions she might have about magic and hybrids. But, if I have to hunt her...well...that could get messy.

[What the actual hell? Wait, what? Hybrid? Mutherf- What kinda loophole of nature's asscrack did he crawl out of?? Thankfully, she's just smart enough to stop her mouth before it lands her dead body in a dumpster. She's aware enough of the Original "family" to stay well outta that part of the Quarter.]

Y'all think we all just know one another, don't'cha? Just cuz my last name is Deveraux, I must be related. But I ain't. I ain't in her coven, I ain't related, and I don't know where she's at right now.

I thought we had problems. That's nuts!

How do you scare a ghost? If you think they like villains, you should try being a fuck up. They come at me in flocks.

Yes, well, when one's parents turn one into a vampire, they cannot be terribly shocked when one isn't eager to send flowers on Mother's Day.

You scare a ghost with a bigger, badder ghost. I have a few I could lend you.

One should never refer to one's self in the negative. You may have made mistakes, but, as my brother would say, they are merely opportunities to learn and grow stronger. So...put your mind off the past, mate, and towards ambitions to the future. I have lived a very long time. If I were to mourn the past, and mistakes I made, I would never have time to live today.

But you would be a dear and let me know if you see her, wouldn't you?

I make a much better friend than enemy, lovely girl...

You're a vampire? Like the bitey kind or the kink one? Though I guess the kink one likes to bite too.

No thank you. I've already got too many. I'm not about to invite more.

Your brother sounds fun at parties. Though my problem isn't that I dwell too much in the past. Mine is probably that I don't learn from it. I put everything out of my mind and enjoy the moment a little too much. But why the hell not? I could get hit by a bus in 20 minutes. Might as well live while I can.
