What, that child?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[bondsofsuffering]

Yep, so be careful.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[auguryofinnocence]

I am very much unconcerned. Does she have anything useful to say?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[bondsofsuffering]

Seems like it takes your energy with it, which could be a pain later.

Her name's Samantha or Sam for short, and she's got a sister named Iris. They're both around eighty years old, and she's not supposed to eat humans. Vampire emotions taste better, I guess.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[auguryofinnocence]

Only vampires, or anything non-human?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[bondsofsuffering]

I didn't think to ask in that kind of detail. But she might try to eat your emotions just to see what they taste like.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[auguryofinnocence]

Hm. She isn't really a child, you say? Perhaps I will speak with her if there is time later, then.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[bondsofsuffering]

Maybe by vampire standards, but not by a human's.

Have you found anything good?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[auguryofinnocence]

[He just shrugs.]

I've been reading the books starting from the beginning. It is all her thoughts and feelings, and fairly cohesive so nothing particularly stands out against the rest. It seems more and more that she truly does want some sort of essay.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[bondsofsuffering]

So our essays should be about her and her experiences...?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[auguryofinnocence]

It seemed to me some sort of concern for whether she has been "just", or some such thing. I suppose the preferred topic might become more apparent with more reading.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[bondsofsuffering]

A thesis about her morals...? Well, I guess it's an angle.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[auguryofinnocence]

I hope it is more than that, anyway...

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[bondsofsuffering]

It'd be kind of trite if that's all it was, huh?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[auguryofinnocence]

Extremely so. With any luck that may only be the cover.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[bondsofsuffering]

Going to give her a real meaty essay to grade, are you?

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[auguryofinnocence]

I hope it won't come to that, I have never had schoolwork.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[bondsofsuffering]

There's always time for a first.

Re: PRIMARY SOURCES: LATE 19TH CENTURY

[auguryofinnocence]

I could do without.
