Episode 1 ~ Sheep’s Clothing

For a moment Tullus Cinna froze. It wasn’t that he was intimidated, no, this was a man born in antiquity and it took a lot to intimidate him. He froze out of shock be cause Maria strolled right past him and found her knees next to Julius. 

‘What an odd relationship’ he thought. Maria was the third of Julius’ wives and Tullus thought a wife should be treated better? He knew Jana wasn’t treated in this way and as for Tabitha, the 2nd of his wives, she mostly kept out of vampire business. Still, seeing this particular woman lower herself beneath Julius had confused him but he had to shake the thought out of his mind. He wasn’t here for that.

“I would like to thank you for once again saving Tobias’ life. If only you had caught the perpetrator who had almost slain him...you said it was a woman, correct?”

“I-...yes, yes Count Tourneau,” he wasn’t here to talk about this either but he knew it was important for Julius. For some time Julius has put a bounty on a wild vampire known as Vio, a woman who has terrorized his family since her existence. “It was she, Viol-”

“Do not speak her name,” Julius hissed but quickly calmed himself with a deep exhale. “Tobias is foolish and in his youth and will be thanking you personally shortly. I believe he is out hunting tonight but-”

“He doesn’t need to, Count Tourneau. He’s but a pup and prone to mistakes, he had no idea who he was dealing with,” and neither did Tullus as he barely escaped with his life. He had hoped to never see Vio again.

“Fair enough, so, what do you wish for your reward? I imagine it is more than just meeting me although that is an accomplishment in of itself. I have a feeling that you want something more? Land? Hunting grounds? What is it?”

Tullus paused because now that the moment was here he wasn’t sure if he should ask for what he wasn’t sure if he should ask. Perhaps the turn in tone of Julius had scared him off. Suddenly the master vampire was impatient and agitated. He blamed Maria for that since she was practically purring for his attention. It was distracting and he imagined that it must be for Julius as well. All the same he had went face to face with Violante and he had saved the life of Julius’ only son. He deserved something. 

“I want the hand of your daughter,” he said at once causing another silence to fill the room. He was sure that Julius would laugh because of course Maria had started to giggle, that wretched sound of hers had made him want to rip out her tongue more than once and he so badly wished that he could. Julius never did join in on the laughter.

“I understand you are from a different...time, Mr. Cinna, but nowadays we don’t just hand off our daughters to some valiant knight for a reward.”

“I understand that and I only meant to be introduced to her, to court and gain her favor, I do not wish to claim her as an object to be leashed to me or-” he stopped, his eyes going on Maria who only giggled at the irony. “I just wish for a chance.”

I see...” it seemed Julius was in thought. “I could arrange a meeting with Charlotte but you must understand the woman has so many suitors and her mother, oh how Tabby dotes on her, you’ll have to gain her approval more than mines and-”

“You have it mistaken, Count Tourneau, it’s not Charlotte’s hand I wish for.”

“Laverne...” Julius whispered his lost daughter’s name as if it were a curse, just like Violante’s. At that moment he had risen to stand.

Episode 3 ~ Thicker Than Water

Narrator: While Laverne wished for a night without vampires the vampires constantly hung out around her house and neighborhood. Maria, a stepmother of hers, had made her way into town as well but she was not here for Laverne.

She was here for her baby sister, Charlotte. "Your mother misses you, you know," Maria says, taking in the cool of the night around them and basking in the brilliance of a full moon. For a town that had hosted a werewolf (or two) they were suspiciously quiet tonight. "She fears you are getting in far too deep with this Blood Rose business."

A flowery sigh parted from Charlotte's lips and a playful roll of her eyes came along with it. "My mother wishes nothing more of me but to be another version of herself."

"A better version of herself," Maria corrects, as if this made all the difference. Another roll of Charlotte's eyes prodded more from Maria. "Is that a bad thing?"

"N-no, that's not it," yet it kind of was. Tabitha, the second of Julius' wives, was just sort of...plain. She was the most domestic of the three, usually staying home and minding the farm that brought Julius his wealth. Thanks to Tabitha's quiet role though she had known the Tourneau clan better than most, raising all of them as much as she could while Jana dealt with the politics of the clan while Maria dealt with...well, things better left unsaid.

"Well then? What is it?"

"She just wants to pair me off with someone, that's all. She spends every day trying to find just the right match for me when I'd rather be out here and-"

"Out here?" Maria chuckles. "You think the faint mind reading ability that your father has passed down to you can save you from the danger you have put yourself in?" Charlotte opened her mouth to reply but it was too late for that now. "What happens when you run into a Blood Rose, hmm? What happens if you run into Vio? What happens if you were out here tonight and one of those wolves catches your scent? Finding out that it wants to rip your head off won’t save you as it charges. What happens if-"

"Yeah yeah, I get it, trips over I guess. Time to get back to being a princess locked in a castle...errr, farm.”

Episode 11 ~ My Immortal

Narrator: As Tabitha walked off Maria couldn’t help but feel that she had made a mistake. That her impulsive behavior might finally get the best of her like what happened at college. Suddenly she’s thinking of being carried out of a dorm party while drunk and suddenly she’s thinking of a photoshoot that she would always regret. Yet, Julius had her pegged. She often crashed head first into things and worried about the damage later, her moving to Komorebi was yet another example of that. She couldn’t help herself. 

Besides, she was on vacation and Tabitha seemed nice enough. If it had been a man who had asked to meet her at a park at night of course she would not have gone for it but Tabitha seemed nice enough...

Episode 11 ~ My Immortal

Tabitha was pointing at a slender ginger who seemed fascinated by the square’s fountain and I instantly became fascinated with her. There was something there. Yes, her appearance, despite my earlier comment about aesthetics meaning nothing, appealed to me. After all, my mother was a natural redhead, I had seen pictures of her human self and I always did have a thing for a head of red and a batch of freckles but there was more to her than that. Something in her mind was begging for my attention, pleading for me to be inserted into her life.

“She seems like your type,” Tabitha was saying. 

I nodded my head but looked her way again, poking inside of her head but it was still day time and while I could use a pinch of my powers it wasn’t enough to do what I needed to do. I’ll need to get her alone and and at night and so I drew Tabitha in closer with a curl of my finger and devised an impromptu plan.

“This one,” I nodded again towards this captivating woman. “Is missing something in her life. Excitement and adventure and we are going to give her exactly that and more. Go. Speak with her. Convince her to meet me at the park when the sun retires...”

Episode 1 ~ Sheep’s Clothing

“It has,” he said, keeping his eyes forward. “I must say, the castle is well maintained, at least from what I can see.”

“I am sure Master Tourneau will appreciate the compliment, Tullus, especially if you deliver it in that silly accent of yours,” she giggled. The sound was always so grating but he knew she liked to tease him. His accent did stand out since it was quite literally out of time. It had taken a bit for him to grow used to the modern world he had woken to and in fact he was sure he would never learn to tolerate it completely. “Master Tourneau is always a big fan of compliments but only if they are sincere,” she giggles again.

“Understood,” he said punctually. He always thought that the less one talks to Maria the better. From what he understood, her turning was especially chaotic and she caried that chaos with her. She got off on humiliating others, especially men, and while he badly wanted to point out how she was shackled and chain and in the end bowed before a man he knew that Maria would quite easily forget her ‘place’ and attempt to put him in his.

“Do you miss working with me, Mr. Cinna?” She asked, determined to carry on this conversation. “We had such fun together, didn’t we? Remember that time those oil barons slipped inside of my club?” She giggled at the memory.

“I do,” he did not laugh at it as it wasn’t much fun for him. After all, she almost killed those men and what would that have done to the clan? It took everything in Tullus’ power to prevent her from slaughtering a handful of people because she was ‘bored’ and because they ‘deserved’ it. He quietly shook his head behind her.

“Ah, here we are! Master Tourneau will see you now!”

Episode 12 ~ The Dotted Line

I invited Maria out to a spa because I know she’s been having trouble adjusting here and I want her to know that she always has a friend in me if she ever needs help and she definitely needs help. 

“I just don’t fit in wherever I go,” she tells me. “Thankfully, I have a vacation ahead of me. Probably just what I need now.”

“Oh? Where are you going?”

“Henford!” she says with some excitement. I admit to looking confused. “I know, it’s not the most exciting of places but I’ve never been there and it’s a cheap flight and I have a free room to stay in so I can’t turn it down.”

“You have to leap on opportunities you get,” I agree although I think I would even turn down a free trip to Henford. “I do hope you enjoy it there! I agree, that job you have has been working you hard so any break you can get is welcome.” 

“And thanks for the spa day! I definitely needed this as well.”

Episode 11 ~ My Immortal

With her mind turned to my purpose it was now easy to approach. Her green eyes shone like gems when she spotted me, widening at what I knew she thought of as pure beauty. I believe I said hello and she had said something back but just like that I had taken her hands. 

She was completely captured by me, body and soul, and I had continued to poke and prod at her mind. Pushing aside a moment the feelings of lust and desire and learning what I could of her. 

I can’t read thoughts. At least, not how you think. I don’t hear words but I do see ideas. I see pictures, fuzzy and blurred, but there all the same, and her mind was suddenly flooded with them. 

Images of me. Images of herself. Images of us, together, roiled around her brain in such a fury I wondered if she had a headache. 

“I’ll make your sudden dreams a reality,” I find myself saying and her reply is a kiss. One that was long and lasting, one I had to pull from her so that I could take her back home and seal the deal...

Episode 11 ~ My Immortal

Narrator: Normally, Julius would have been able to listen from more than a mile away and observe from a far but since it was day time his hearing while stronger, wouldn’t have been enough to do so and as such he had no idea what Tabitha would say to Maria and he didn’t give her a plan. He simply trusted her, if it was meant to be then it would be and if it was not? Well, he could still make it be...

“You have the look of a tourist!” Tabitha says for an introduction, catching Maria’s attention immediately.

“That obvious, huh?” 

“Where are you from?”

“Simerica but I’ve been all around the world really. Currently living in Komorebi.”

“Oh! Sounds lovely! I’ve always wanted to go there for a winter trip! How are the mountains?”

“Can’t say I’ve ever been. For me, it’s a career opportunity, nothing more and nothing less.”

Tabitha wasn’t sure how she was going to get Maria alone at night with Julius until that very moment. Julius had told her that this was a woman who was impulsive, who might be looking for something exciting in her life. She wasn’t sure how her creator had known that but she was learning he was not a man to doubt. He had given her what she needed to know without either of them really realizing it. 

“You only have one life, you know,” Tabitha’s lips turned into a smile that could only be sweet but had a sinister purpose behind it. “You definitely should go sliding down that mountain the next chance you get! Don’t let your life only be about work.”

“Easier said than done. I do have bills to pay after all,” Maria replied almost automatically.

“Perhaps you’ve come to just the right place then! Many don’t know it but this town holds a lot of surprises...”

Episode 8 ~ Culture Shock

The conversation would turn from games and turn to men, of course, and this was kind of interesting to me because I didn’t know much of Mayumi’s dating life. Knowing that she does porn I guess made me just brush it off but apparently...she has a boyfriend? I shouldn’t have been too surprised to hear that but she explained that he’s a nice guy that understands what she does is temporary and he wants her for the long term. Maybe I should look at it that way with Souma?

Either way, I translated a conversation between Maria and Mayumi as Maria was asking about the dating scene and Mayumi seemed to be an expert on it. Mayumi thought that Maria would be quite popular being a foreigner since that makes her a little more rare and thus desirable, I guess I know that feeling myself being in Simerica for a few weeks. Mayumi does think that Maria should focus first on learning the language and I agree with that.

You know, I think my social life is shaping up to be a lot more interesting than when I started the year, don’t you? I guess we will see what the next year will bring!

Episode 11 ~ My Immortal

I could have approached her normally. You know, start a conversation and try to persuade her to give me a chance but I imagine her defenses would have been up at this time of night.

So, I decided to test out my new powers or rather a power I’ve learned is available to me. You see, not only can I poke around in minds and send telepathic messages but I can combine those two things so that I am putting thoughts into the heads of mortals. 

For this one, I clasped on that spirit of adventure, that impulsive nature of hers and added the thought that she was looking for romance go along with it. An intense kind of romance, a deep passion and a feeling of lust that needed to be sated as soon as possible. It was there within her already, I simply put it at the center of her mind and gave her a sense of my being so that it would be directed in the right direction...

Episode 11 ~ My Immortal

I could not be more impressed with what Tabitha had pulled off. Not only did she manage to convince our little ginger friend to visit at night but she had managed to get her out when the moon had full dominion over the skies. It was a beautiful night because it was a night made for me. The world bends towards my will, it seems. 

“There she is,” Tabitha points her out. She was just sitting at the edge of a pond, trying to get the attention of a duck. She thankfully looked to be in a good mood. 

“There she is,” I confirm, excitement bubbling in my gut. “I’ll take it from here, thank you, my love. I’ll see you back home very very soon. Be ready.”

Episode 11 ~ My Immortal

Narrator: So the conversation continued, Tabitha prepared to close the deal and deliver her maker a new victim. It never crossed her mind that she was doing something bad, that she was throwing an innocent woman before a man that wanted to devour her soul and eagerly doing so. She simply wanted to make her maker happy. Unfortunately, the sun started to peek just enough through a passing cloud that Tabitha had to fumble for her umbrella, not wanting to sizzle and smoke right before Maria.

“This place doesn’t have any mountains to ski down I presume?” Maria jokes but little does she know she has fallen right into Tabitha’s trap. 

“No, not exactly but there are parks. Perhaps I could even give you a tour around the famous Volpe park later tonight?”

“Tonight?” Maria asked a little concerned. “Wouldn’t it be better to go during the day?”

“Oh, it’s lovely during the day, that is very true but you can only admire the stars at night! Besides, I know what you’re thinking and I’d be thinking the same thing. Not safe for a woman to go exploring a foreign place at night but Volpe park is SUPER safe and I’ll be there to show you around! So, how about it?”

Maria thought about it and ultimately decided: “You know what? Yeah! I’m here on vacation so I might as well enjoy it right!”

“Right!”

Episode 12 ~ The Dotted Line

While I planned on getting the most out of my Spa day Maria was busy chatting up one of the masseuses. I don’t know if she had a thing for him or not, couldn’t really tell because I was off in my own world getting a foot massage and a pedi, but it looked like maybe there was a spark between the two. I was silently rooting for her of course!

Episode 12 ~ The Dotted Line

My friend Maria is still having issues adjusting to the culture here and by issues I mean those of the social variety. It’s her dating life, it’s dry and bland and somewhat depressing. I know, you’re probably wondering why, she’s beautiful after all but the problem isn’t that, the problem is that her job is working her so hard that she barely has time for herself! I’m not sure if that job will work for her long term. I know if I were in her position I’d start thinking of moving on. 

I don’t mind hard work but what’s the purpose of it if you can’t even enjoy the simoleons you earn?

Episode 8 ~ Culture Shock

Narrator: Myitzu wasn’t the only one ready to embrace change for the oncoming year. Her friend Maria was also planning on making a pretty big change in her life, that being moving to an entirely new country and learning a new language and accepting all that came with such a big decision. She loved San My and was sure that if she came back to it she would appreciate it a lot more but something in her gut told her that Komorebi would work out well for her. So she packed her things, what few things she had, and was ready to relocate her entire life once again. Hopefully, this next place will stick for her...

Episode 8 ~ Culture Shock

But even as the clock ran past midnight I wasn’t ready for the night to end especially as my other friend, Mayumi, stopped by. It’s ironic isn’t it that she was the only one wearing clothes. I think Maria decided to just ‘fit in’ as she called it and took off her clothes as well. Which was a little surprising knowing what she went through with my half-sister but no one should be ashamed of their body in the first place!

I introduced Mayumi to Maria and was pretty upfront to Maria about what Mayumi does for a living, Maria wasn’t judgmental and maybe that had more to do with me having to do all of the translating between the two of them. 

Maria: So, I do have a big announcement! I got the job!

Myitzu: The job?

Maria: You know Circlesoft games, right?

Myitzu: Of course! The Final Fancy games are huge! I haven’t played the last one though ummm-

Maria: Final Fancy 17!

Myitzu: Right! Yes, I’ll get around to it, they are long and-

Maria: Yeah but I’ll be working on the next one! They say they are always looking for talent overseas since they are a global company and they seemed so very excited to have me!

Myitzu: Maria, that’s great!

Mayumi  did not say much then, she just looked between us as we spoke a language complete foreign to her and then she would eventually look at me to explain, which I did. She would add her own two cents, that she had played it too and it was a favorite game of hers but she was more talking to me than to Maria. 

Myitzu: Mayumi says she really likes that series.

Maria: Oh! Umm, yeah, cool!

I hope Maria makes a real effort on learning the language here because this translating thing can get annoying.
