Hammer Oops, well, hehe, this is awkward. I can't tell why, or if it's just tiredness, but I've been unable to RP at all. It just won't come out but I don't feel burnout or anything. Just. Not happening. So I have no idea when I'll be back. Just that it looks like it's gonna be a long hiatus.

antares If you ever think a character is 'too far from canon' I would like to remind you this is the same character and people still love him apparently

𝒓𝒐𝒔𝒊𝒆 it makes me feel bad that my portrayal might be too far from canon 🥲 but its okay. i don’t think i’m trying to stick to canon anyway. my bond is supportive of me, and she even helps me write. as long as i can tell this story that’s been stuck inside my head, its enough for me. +

"..." It finally weighted in: Alistair had been mourning him. For almost a decade. Blaming himself. Mike tilted his head down, cap hiding his eyes again. Now it was his turn for feeling some... guilt. For dying? Not like he did that on purpose, right? ... Right? But, soon enough, the ghoul +

He couldn't help a soft laugh. Mike was still adorable... "I've moped around for over a decade. Worse case...my heart can have some peace finally."

"... You're settled on getting me instead of someone better, huh? Well, don't come later to say I didn't warn you!" And yet, he was grinning, arms on akimbo, and slightly glowing, though he didn't realize that last part. He remembered the cans, looking down at them. "... Damn, I should've +

He gave a soft laugh, smiling. "That is fair. I would still like to try...if you're willing. Go slow like you said."

"But... I'm not that guy anymore..." Mike was still flustered, but also... Sad. What if he disappointed Al? What if he wasn't good enough? What if...? "L-look! Can we just take it slow? Get to know each other? I'm at a disadvantage here, yannow?" Slowly, the ghoul uncovered his face, smirking. +

He gave a soft laugh at that. "Then the man that always made me smile? That helped me laugh away my stress? ...No one could do that for me like you could, Michael... You made me so happy to be around...I'd sometimes try to find stuff that need working on as an excuse to see you..."

Mike was relieved that Alistair wasn't upset at him, but still the ghost couldn't believe his ears. The vampire... Had been in love with him? No! With his past self! The disgusting piece of meat and bones! He wasn't that guy anymore! Still... The ghoul lost focus, losing his consistence and the +

He gave a soft laugh, smiling as he recognized Mike's humor. "I'm not... But I didn't want to...risk my feeling influencing how I treated you. I...even considered inviting you to move in with me but it just felt...awkward. Considering how I was trying to avoid any hints..."

... Mike let out a laugh. "Wow! Ya really are a freakster! Want an auto—?" Then, the ghoul stopped himself, staring at Alistair. The way he was looking, how he said that... The smile disappeared from his face. "... You ain't joking... are ya?"

"I..." Alistair took a deep, shaky breath. "I was scared to do more because I was worried it was...love...not just wanting to be there as a friend..."

"Eh. I mean, ya were just my landlord." Mike already accepted it, shrugging. "I forgive ya, okay? Not like I remember, but sure ya would do more if you were sure I was 'bout to die. Heck, maybe I didn't even know." Another sip. "Don't overthink it too much, okay? I'm here! Free at last!"

Alistair Blackwood@vampirelandlord.bsky.social · last yr.

"I still feel like I could have done more. Spoken up. Gotten you out of that situation. But...I was too scared of risking my actions being favoritism..."

Mike blinked as he looked at Alistair, not expecting that. The ghost shook his head. “Hey, it's okay! You weren't the one who introduced me to this drink and indirectly ruined my life and killed me.” He was still smiling, but... The resentment was clear, just not against the vampire.

"Because it killed you... Also, it killing you made it harder to get. I...Mike, I didn't push before on that drink harming you...and look what happened. I should have pushed harder. I should have done more... I...I feel responsible..."
