[itp: STAKEOUT]

[getintomyplants]

[just before dusk, plants started moving closer around the barn known as La Grange. by the time it's dark, they've all settled themselves down into inconspicuous clumps. just kind of hanging out. you know, like you do.

someone who was particularly wary might notice that everything seems a little quieter than normal. but otherwise, just your average plant-filled night in camp.]

[falling silent, waiting]

[walking up behind her, slow and careful, and reaching out to just barely skim her finger over Sophie-Anne's shoulder]

Too bad you can't tear my throat out, all tied up like that.

[apainintheneck]

Don't tell me you're still angry.

[getintomyplants]

Don't tell me you're surprised.

[apainintheneck]

Oh, please. I hardly touched you.

[getintomyplants]

You tried to kill me.

[apainintheneck]

I most certainly did not.

[getintomyplants]

Then what was that?

[yeah coming around to stand in front of the vampire now because wtf 8|]

[apainintheneck]

Believe me, if I had wanted to kill you, I would have done it.

[getintomyplants]

You didn't answer my question.

[...those vines are squeezing a little tighter]

[apainintheneck]

You told me that I was weak.

[getintomyplants]

I was wrong.

[apainintheneck]

And now you know better.

[getintomyplants]

That's one way to look at it.

[apainintheneck]

You disagree?

[getintomyplants]

I've certainly learned something.

[man how much tighter can those vines get before it starts feeling like something's going to break?]

[apainintheneck]

[refusing to show the pain she's in :T]

And what is that?

[getintomyplants]

[theeeeeeey're still getting tighter]

I shouldn't have trusted you.

[apainintheneck]

[SILENCE]

[getintomyplants]

[ALL IT WOULD TAKE IS ONE WHIMPER AND THIS WOULD STOP temporarily]

No answer?

[apainintheneck]

[i'm sorry, vampires have stubbornness issues]

I never said—never said I was trustworthy.

[getintomyplants]

People usually don't.

[so do supervillains, at least the ones who don't get bored and distracted by shiny objects]

[apainintheneck]

[silent again :T maybe if i don't talk i won't give away how much your stupid vines are hurting me]

[getintomyplants]

[you know what would help? Ivy coming up close enough to run her finger over Sophie-Anne's wrist, just where the vines are digging in. that'd definitely help.]

[apainintheneck]

[at that, she lets out a small gasp of pain, her eyes tearing up a bit. did you know vampires cry blood??]
