Fuck these vampires.

"Why?" She asked, crossing her arms over her chest. She doesn't really *need* to blink, so... She has an advantage here.

Glares. When the stranger doesn't say anything, Claudia does. "What?"

Smiles, letting her fangs drop. Beast. She likes that. "Try it."

Looks at it. "That isn't gonna kill me, lady. Just piss me off."

Forget them ending up dead. *This* is why vampires don't get close to mortals. They're strange.

"Couldn't have said it better myself." Because Claudia /is/ proud of being a vampire. It's been a part of her identity since she was fourteen years old. She hadn't been given a choice, her opinion wasn't even considered, but she couldn't say she would say 'no' if she had been asked. Would she ━

Laying in her coffin with the lid open, scribbling in her diary.

She does. With a huff, she ran out the front door - leaving it open, so Lestat had to close it after her. She would be gone for a while. She has to find at least two victims and something for Lestat, after all. Hopefully, for his sake, she chooses his meal AFTER she's eaten.

This is why Louis should not leave him alone to parent.

She'll hiss more, actually.

She goes to the door. Then stops before she leaves. "Do you /want anything/ while I'm out?" How does she somehow still sound like she's hissing at him when she's saying something nice? It's an impressive skill.

"/Yes, Lestat/." Said in the moodiest tone imaginable. Don't tell her, but she never looks more like a teenager than in moments like this.

//This made me think of THIS gem of a moment in Tomadachi Life

Update on patricide: Maybe. She'll decide after breakfast.

Well, he's the only maker she's ever met. And right now, he's the worst. Stomping to grab her coat.

Claudia barely bit off a retort. Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, her sharp nails stinging her palm and grounding her in the present. She's not quite to a feral rage, but first thing in the evening... It's bad. Her eternal teenage metabolism is to blame for that; ━

Glares at him. Like the fact that he doesn't already /know/ what's wrong makes him the Worst Maker Ever. It's probably lucky that she doesn't know the Fire Gift.

Claudia's eyes narrowed. Her irritability wasn't abating, not with the hunger gnawing at her, but there was a /little/ curiosity underneath of it. Maybe she shouldn't burn a bridge. But she couldn't fight the rolling of her eyes. "I'm not in the mood for careful." She growled.

She's not pleasant to be around before she's had her first meal. She's aware of her flaws.

HISSES.

Hisses. ... Don't mind her. She's hangry.

Hungry. Hungry, hungry, hungry, hungry.

//Her sense of humor needs a trigger warning 😞 she's just too funny 😞

Everyone else is asleep. The sun is high in the sky. Claudia isn't sleeping. She's being annoying and making a LOT of noise.

(Claudia laughs, throwing her head back.) Nah. I think there are more people in France than there are vampires.

(Nodding.) Yeah. And you know what? French *vampires* are even worse.

That's not what I was sayin', but you know what? Yeah! Fuck the French!

BURSTS out of her coffin! The sun has finally gone down and she's full of energy!

Family. You promised

Mortal food has changed a lot since she was young.

... What the fuck is a Denny's?

My *parents* have nothing to do with any-fucking-thing. We don't need to talk about them. Sometimes, the blood is just *good* and it makes you *feel good!* Tell me what you eat!

Well, *I* just had dinner... Have *you* eaten? I don't know how to feed a human! I've never tried! That might be fun!

You *have* to do more than just that!

Nothin'! Oh! Oh! Let's do something! What do you do for fun?!

Painting her nails. They can be dangerous AND pretty!

(She giggles. Freely laughing in a way that she refuses to do normally.) *Sure* you do. I feel too good to even make fun of ya!

Claudia shrugged, forcing her eyes to stay open. Even though she wanted so badly to let hers close too. "Well, you've..." Don't yawn again. Don't do it. "... Never given me a reason to be mean."

I didn't ask his name. His last words were 'why're your teeth so sharp?' though. You look good. Everything looks good right now. The *stars* look good.

... Should probably clean up that body. But she's having such a good time!

(Blurs away at vamp speed, returning as fast as a human could blink with a jacket slung over her shoulder. It's expensive. If she is high off of the owner's blood, the drugs were good quality.) What d'ya think? Try it on!

Pretty neat! Too big for me or I would've taken it.

If only every vampire she met DIDN'T betray her in the end. Imagine that. Would be nice.
