Mordecai stepped into the room once Norman invited him in then he set his bag down. He looked over at the shelf. "I can get it down for you." he said to him then made his way over to the shelf. He easily reached up and got the book down, because he was taller than the other boy. He then turned to Norman and handed the book to him. "Here you go."

IC "Heh thanks...I could have gotten it myself though," Norman added as he looked at the book, it would just have had to involve some parkour...which he didn't know how to do but that was totally not the point right now. "Anyways, should we get started?" He asked, looking up from his book to give Mordecai a bright smile.

"Well it looked like you were having trouble, and I didn't want you to hurt yourself by jumping at shelves." Mordecai explained to him. He didn't want to be responsible for Norman's injures when he could easily get the book down for him. He then nodded in response to his question. "Yeah, let's." he said to him.

IC "I wouldn't have hurt myself-" he totally would have but that's not the point. "Anyways, where should we begin?" Norman asked as he sat down on the floor and spread out all the books and notes he had on the coffee table, having done some research on his own before Mordecai came over to begin with.

Mordecai sat down across from him and crossed his legs underneath himself. "Well we should start off with talking about pre-World War 1 before getting into anything else." he said to him as he glanced over all the notes and books he had out on the coffee table. "By the looks of things it looks like you don't need any of my stories about the time period." he said jokingly and he looked up to him with a half smile.

IC Norman gave a sheepish smile and moved a hand to cover the back of his neck. "Well these are nice...but nothing compared to actually getting real stories from someone who was alive during that time-" he paused, as the thought just struck him. Mordecai had been alive...to live forever...it must have been so lonely, no one else with you but other vampires...humans were just specks of time for the vampires...that was quite the realization.

Mordecai nodded, agreeing with him. "I guess you do have a point. History books are mostly fact not stories from people that were there. Plus some history books aren't always accurate." he said to him as he glanced down qt some of the books in front of him. He scooted a bit closer to the coffee table and leaned his elbows up on it. "So, are you ready to hear some stories?" he asked as he looked up to him.

IC Norman nodded, placing his elbows on the table and resting his head in his hands. "Yeah, tell me all about your stories from World War I, please," he said, eyes shining with excitement and curiosity for the stories that Mordecai could share.

Mordecai chuckled softly, finding it amusing how excited he got. "Alright." he said to him with a smile then took a deep breath before he began telling him his stories. He talked about how and where he was living back then, and how he was on his own for the most part. He talked about a few humans who were important to his life, none of whom knew his real identity or what he really was. And he talked about how the war effected him and made its way into his life. (Don't really feel like going into detail and making up actual stories )

OOC That's fine.
IC After Mordecai had finished, Norman let out a small sigh. "Wow, that's amazing," he breathed before pausing as he heard his stomach growl and he frowned. Now he was hungry, what time was it? How long had they been talking? It didn't seem that long but when Norman was listening to stories or studying or something like that, time seemed to slow.

Mordecai smiled at him. "Well thank you for listening to me." he said to him. He then rose an eyebrow slightly when he heard his stomach growl. "Was that your stomach?" he asked him. "I must have been talking for awhile if we were here long enough to make you hungry." he said as he leaned back on his hands.

IC Norman gave a sheepish smile. "I get hungry easy...have a high metabolism," he explained sheepishly as he got up. "But yeah, I'm hungry...guess I got wrapped up in your stories, they were really cool," he informed, running a hand through his ginger curls as he tried to ignore his stomach and focus on Mordecai, giving a small smile, having decided that at least Mordecai was a friend.

Mordecai nodded then stood up from his spot on the floor. He streched his arms up to try to get rid of some of the stiffness he got from sitting in one place for a long time. "Well if you liked my stories so much, maybe I can tell you some more sometime." he said as he put his arms back down at his sides. He picked up his bag from thr ground then put it on his shoulders. "Let's go get you some food, and I could use a little something myself. If it's not too late, the dining hall should still be open." he said as he started to walk out of Norman's room.

IC "Yes!" Norman agreed, stretching out the word as he gave an excited little bounce as he followed after the vampire. "I am so hungry, I am so down for getting food," he explained, closing the door behind him, ready to get something to eat, because he was always ready for food, he loved food. Food and projects and studies.

Mordecai glanced over at him with a smile. The redhead seemed to get excited over the most simple things. He was pretty sure he used to be like that, but hundreds of years of living takes a bit of a toll on your personality. He made his way out of the dorms and started to make his way to the dining hall.

IC "What kind of food do you think there is? I mean I packed enough food for myself to last me a couple of days but I ate it all by now so now I actually have to eat the cafeteria food-hopefully they have vegetarian options..." Norman mumbled, considering he was a vegetarian and planned on sticking to his diet even here at the vampire school.

Mordecai shrugged to answer his question. "All I know is that they have separate meals for the humans. You might be able to ask for a vegetarian meal, but I don't think you really have a choice." he said to him as he entered the dining hall. He quickly went up and got his meal, for there wasn't much of a line, then he went and sat down at an open lunch table.

IC Norman hurried to get his own food and was happy to find a vegetarian option, so once he had gotten his food he made his way over to Mordecai and sat down across from him. "They had vegetarian options," he said obviously before he started to eat the spaghetti that had been prepared, twirling some of the noodles around on his fork before taking a bite.

Mordecai looked up to Norman as he walked over and sat down across from him. He drank some of the blood he was given as he watched Norman. "Why are you vegetarian anyways?" he asked him, he was curious to know the answer. No one was worried about eating meat back when he was still human.

IC "Meat makes me sick, like physically sick. I throw it up, my stomach hurts, my digestive system just doesn't handle meat. I don't know...I can eat eggs and stuff but literally any type of meat makes me sick, so yeah...being a vegetarian is my only option," Norman explained, getting more spaghetti on his fork. "It's awesome that they have spaghetti though...this is like...my favorite food next to pizza and lasagna," he explained...he liked Italian food.

Mordecai listened to him as he drank more blood. "What are all those dishes anyways? What makes them so good?" he asked him. Back when he was human they never had any food like that, it was all very simple with just meat and vegetables. Which he barely even remebered what they tasted like anymore.

IC "Well lets start with pizza," Norman suggested. "Pizza has a doughy crust and tomato sauce on top then mozzarella cheese and you can put whatever toppings you want on it, like olives, or peppers, or pineapple, or whatever else you want. Then a Lasanga is a bunch of lasagna noodles layered with cheese and tomato sauce, and like...you can add other stuff to it too, and this right here is spaghetti, floury noodles in tomato sauce. It's all really good!" He explained with a grin, more than happy to talk about food.

Yes this thread is still open :3

Mordecai nodded as he listened to him. It all seemed pretty simple. Why didn't they have dishes like that sooner? "By what you told me it seems like all you eat is tomatoes, cheese, and some sort of dough." he said with a smile.

IC "Well it's not like that's all I eat," Norman said, quick to defend. "I eat a bunch of other stuff too, anything that isn't meat," he explained simply, shrugging his shoulders as he looked down at his plate of spaghetti, he loved food but he didn't like getting called out on his eating habits either, it wasn't something he enjoyed and made himself feel self conscious.

I don't mind doing another supernatural type plot. :3 And I'm open to any other ideas as well.

Mordecai nodded. "I guess, now that I think about it, there is a lot of food that doesn't involve meat." he said then finished off the blood that he had. He set his cup down and licked his lips before looking back to Norman. "Since you don't eat meat, does that mean you don't eat fish either?" he asked, still curious about the human's eating habits.

IC "Yeah I don't eat fish either, if I did I would be a pescatarian rather than a vegetarian," Norman explained before he paused and looked at Mordecai for a minute. "Okay I have a question for you. So I learned awhile ago that coconut milk could be used as a blood transfusion. So in that sense, could a vampire technically live off of coconut milk rather than blood?...sorta like a vegetarian vampire?" He asked with a tilt of his head.

Mordecai nodded, making a mental note to remember the term if he ever needed to use it again. He then listened to Norman as he asked him a question, raising an eyebrow skeptically at the mention of the coconut milk. "That sounds ridiculous and not true. Vampires need the nutrients and other minerals in blood to survive. The only thing I could really think of that would be a vegetarian vampire is a vampire that drinks animal blood instead of human blood. But if that is true, I guess theoretically a vampire could live off of coconut milk." he said to him.

IC "No, no, I read up on it...might have been coconut water not milk, but I'm pretty sure I read that it's pure enough to be used as a blood transfusion, the likelihood of it working is very small though and it's still a really big risk, but I think you can use it," Norman said determinedly. "I just wanted to know if a vampire could use it or if it would do nothing for one...we would find you some coconut water," he decided after a few seconds of thought.
