Grim Curiosity [Open] - Samuel - 01-19-2019 Sam had had a taste of blood now. As much as he hated the idea of suddenly becoming a bloodlust-filled monster, now that he had done it once, the whole thing was a lot less scary. He had drunk blood, it had been good, and he wasn't in any kind of trouble about it. Or at least, he wasn't in any kind of official trouble. He wasn't sure how Remi felt about the whole thing anymore. But he knew now that it would be hard to resist the opportunity it if came up again. While he still went to the shrine to refill his fluids...the taste of blood and the simple rush of taking it kept coming back to his mind. However, there was another issue. He didn't know many people; and the people he did know would likely not be willing for him to drink their blood. Even if they would be willing, he was not bold enough to ask unless his life was on the line, as it had been with Remi. But...he had begun to think, what if he didn't take blood from people? At first he had just intended to go the market and find some meat, drink blood from that; but thinking about it: if that worked, would that not be what every Ascended did? And he had never heard of someone going to slurp on the meat stall. He reasoned it was likely it had to be blood from a live source. So...that was how he had found himself in the fields, looking for. Something. He wasn't sure biting on a cow would be a good idea (stomped under hooves wasn't a fun way to go) but was looking for a rabbit. Whether he would actually have the guts to bite into one once he found it was still up in the air, but he crouched down low and crept about the fields, looking exactly like the prowling killer he didn't want to be.

RE: Grim Curiosity [Open] - Samuel - 01-21-2019 Sam was about to give up. In this depth of Deepfrost it was rare for creatures to venture out of their habitats and as the time ticked on, he was losing motivation for the whole thing anyway. The whole venture was beginning to feel rather silly. He wasn't even sure if he'd be able to bring himself to drink from anything if he could catch it. He straightened up and brushed off his coat (unnecessary for anything but appearances, but it helped him feel a little more normal) of snow, got ready to return back to town - when suddenly he became aware of another person nearby. He wasn't quite sure how he knew, but he could sense another still heartbeat, smell a sickly sweet scent that wasn't quite human, wasn't quite right...Ascended. Sam's breath hitched in his throat. Other Ascended were rarely good, and one who would creep up silently in the wilderness? [say]"I...Is someone there?"[/say] He asked out into the fields, stepping backwards as if he had a chance of running away from anyone who wanted to catch him. [say]"I...I don't want any harm!"[/say] RE: Grim Curiosity [Open] - Wessex - 01-28-2019
RE: Grim Curiosity [Open] - Samuel - 01-28-2019 Sam didn't recognise the woman, but he knew from the fact she was Ascended and from the hard look on her face that she was going to be trouble for him. His hands balled up into nervous fists at his side (more so that he could feel he was doing something than for the desire to get into any kind of fight). Other Ascended had never liked him. Too bookish, too shy, not proud enough of their awful heritage. He'd heard it all. And as nervous as he was, Sam was beginning to get tired of it. [say]"I know. B-but it's alright during the day. And I'm looking for something. But...I'll go now. I-I'll get it later. So I'm not in your way."[/say] It took every inch of courage he had, but Sam lifted his chin and as authoritatively as he could tried to walk past Wessex.

RE: Grim Curiosity [Open] - Samuel - 02-06-2019 Of course, he wasn't able to get away as swiftly as he wanted. As Wessex moved into his path Sam took two shaking steps back as if he'd been struck, staring at her with nervous eyes as he fiddled with his sleeve and tried to work out if it was worth telling the truth. He supposed it may make her respect him more, to know he was out looking for things to drink from. [say]"I..."[/say] He began, looking down at her feet. [say]"I r-recently...drank. From somebody. A-and it was...um."[/say] Sam was embarrassed to admit he had liked it. Even though he knew Wessex would likely approve, would consider it him taking his role as Ascended seriously...it still felt dirty, something he should have abstained from. [say]"...So..I was hoping. T-to maybe...find some blood but...no-not from a person. So I don't..hurt anyone."[/say] Or hurt myself, he thought, remembering the way Remi had gone cold once his teeth had left his neck.
