Mordecai shrugged. "If you really want to go and get me some coconut water to see if it works then knock yourself out, but I don't think it's going to work." he said to him as he leaned his elbows on the table and rested his chin in his palm.

IC "Oh we are so getting you coconut water at some point, I mean I don't have any with me...didn't think this far ahead, but I can ask my brothers to send me a package of some so you can try it," Norman suggested with a grin.

Mordecai chuckled. "Alright then." he said with a smile then pushed some hair away from his face. He never thought he would get along with a human so well, but here we was having a random conversation about food with a human he met a few days ago. "If you are finished with your food we could head back to the dorms." he said to him.

IC Norman glanced down at his food, there wasn't much left. "Yeah okay just give me a second," he said as he sort of shoved the rest into his mouth with his fork, not bothering chewing all that much as he swallowed with a gulp and wiped his face with his napkin. "Okay lets go," he agreed as he got up and picked the tray up off from the table, smiling over at Mordecai.

Mordecai stretched as he waited for Norman to finished then stood up from his seat once Norman did. He nodded then made his way out of the dining hall, throwing his cup away as he walked out. He took a deep breath of the evening air as he stepped outside then he put his hands in his pockets.

IC Norman hurried to keep up and didn't slow his step once he had caught up. He panted slightly. "You walk way to fast, consider us short people, I have tiny little legs, I can't keep up with you," he explained, often having to go over this with people since he was really short for a guy...it sucked but there wasn't anything he could do to make himself taller, so he just had to put up with being short.

"I was going to wait for you." Mordecai said to him, and he was telling the truth. He wasn't going to let him walk back to the dorms by himself. That would be a rude thing for him to do. He then started to make his way towards the dorms.

IC "Yeah well...it sure looked like you might just keep watching," Norman grumbled slightly feeling a bit embarrassed though didn't really want to admit it. "You know though...we have some time, not like we have to go there now...maybe you could show me around, introduce me to some of the other students?" He asked hopefully. "...Also I've been wondering, why is there even such a thing as a vampire school? Haven't you all lived for like...a super long time, why go to school?" He asked with a tilt of his head.

"I guess I could show you around campus, I can introduce to other students at a different time." Mordecai said as he looked around, he didn't exactly want to interact with the other vampires right now. "Even though most of us have lived for a long a time, we came from very early times where education wasn't required. So most of us don't have basic level high school education. So they made this school, so vampires could choose to get an education if they wanted to. " he explained to him.

IC "Oh cool, so that means it's gotta be a pretty new school, right?" Norman asked curiously, figuring he actually felt comfortable enough now to ask all the questioned he had had for the last while. Norman was naturally a very curious guy and so he often asked a lot of questions...it could get annoying, as that was what he had been told, so he usually waited until he was comfortable enough around others before asking them all the questions.

"It's kind of new. I believe it was made sometime in the 1980s or 1990s if you consider that new." Mordecai said to him then looked around. "So what buildings have you not seen yet?" he asked as he looked to him.

IC "Well I actually haven't seen that many buildings here, and the ones I have seen I haven't really looked at, I was just rushing to get from place to place...so I uh sort of forgot most of it anyways," Norman explained with an all too sheepish smile. "So really a tour of all of it would be great!...What stereotypes about vampires are true?" Norman asked, changing subjects mid sentence as another question popped into mind.

Mordecai nodded then started to head towards the closest building. "Well you already know we need to be invited into someone's 'home'. We don't have reflections and we don't show up in photographs." he said then thought for a second. "What are some of the other ones again?" he asked as he looked to Norman.

IC "Are you obsessed with counting? What about the garlic? Wooden stake to the heart? Do you turn into a bat? Ooh, do you sparkle in the sunlight?" He asked the last one teasingly, taking note that it had actually been fairly cloudy since he had gotten there. "Can you move fast? Are other supernatural creatures real?" He questioned with a grin, more than happy to dump all his questions on the poor vampire.

"Some of us are obsessed with counting some of us aren't, for me that question is a no. No. Yes. No. No we do not sparkle, and sunlight doesn't burn our skin either. Yes. And yes." Mordecai said, going through the questions one by one answering them like a list. "Any other questions?" he asked him.

IC Norman thought for a minute. "What other supernatural creatures exist? Do you know any? Are their other schools for other supernatural creatures? Do vampires hate werewolves?...there's so many questions about the supernatural world...I don't even know where to begin with those sort of questions," Norman confessed, he had so many questions, so many. But he didn't even know where to begin or if he was annoying Mordecai, so this was good.

"Werewolves, shapeshifters, lots of different types of demons, angels, anything you can name exists. I did know a shapeshifter pretty well for a good chunk of time. As for the schools, I don't know, they could exist but I'm not so sure. And I personally don't hate werewolves, but I also have never had a bad experience with one." Mordecai said as he looked to him. "Haven't you read a book about these sort of things before?" he asked him.

IC "I've read all the books available to me, but it's not like they're all that accurate," Norman explained with a shrug. "There's a lot of different information out there, you can't trust what you read with this stuff. It's a lot better to get it right from the source," he stated. "How does one become a vampire? Because just because you drink someone's blood, that doesn't mean you instantly turn they person into a vampire after biting them...does it? Also why the neck? Like why bite the neck? Or is that just another myth?" He asked, focusing on looking ahead of him.

"Someone can get turned if they get bitten by a vampire and then they drink the blood of the vampire. A blood exchange needs to happen if you want to turn someone. And vampires usually go for the neck because there is a major artery there so it is easy to get blood. Plus it's the one part of the human body that is almost always exposed." Mordecai said to him then walked up to the first building he was going to show him.

"I don't really have any questions. I was alive at one point, and even though I'm not human anymore I still have a slight idea what is going on in the human world." Mordecai said to him. "Alright let's get this tour started." he said to him then started to show him around the building that he brought him to. It was mostly classrooms and science labs within the building.

IC "What were you like?...As a human?" Norman asked after a brief pause. "How much have you changed since then?" He was curious and character development had always been Norman's favorite thing...even for people in real life.

"I was still myself, just more lively, and curious, and young." Mordecai said to him then placed his hands onto his pockets. "After years of living I matured, became more wise, and lost most of my curiosity and excitement." he said to him.

IC Norman frowned at that and looked at the ground. "No offense Mordecai but that sounds awful," he stated. "I mean the maturing part is nice, but I would hate to loose what I love most about me. My eagerness to learn, endless curiousity and enthusiasm for things...at least that's what people tell me I'm like and I like that idea. It seems sort of sad...that you might have been like that too once, and aren't anymore," he explained honestly, not meaning to sound rude or anything like that. He more of sounded genuinely upset about it.

Post by anormallife on Nov 25, 2016 21:02:37 GMT -5
Mordecai nodded in agreement. "It is awful, it really is." he said then let out a small sigh. "When you have lived for so long and have been through so much you lose bits and pieces of yourself along the way." he said then looked down at his feet as he continued to walk. "But there is nothing I can do about it. There isn't anything that can change me back."

IC Norman exhaled and looked back up at him, smiling slightly as he moved closer and reached up to place a hand on his shoulder. "No, nothing can change you back. But that doesn't mean you can't try, it doesn't take much effort into asking a question. Maybe you lost your more curious nature over time, and though you won't ever be the old you again, that doesn't mean you can't regain some of your old traits...or gain new, better ones too," he reassured, looking up at him.

Mordecai stopped walking when Norman placed his hand on his shoulder then he looked up to him. He gave him a small smile then gently reached up and placed a hand over the one on his shoulder. "Thank you Norman." he said softly.

Mordecai was kind of glad that they were here after class hours, he wasn't sure if he'd be able to explain the personal moment he was sharing with Norman to anyone else. He took a small step away from him when he pulled his hand away then he put his arm back down at his side. "Yeah, let's continue the tour." he said to him then looked away and continued to walk.
