Vampire life isn't actually so bad once you get used to it; Kill humans, spend Daddy Lou and Uncle Les' money, sleep in a coffin, rinse and repeat. Of course that's not how you viewed it when you first got turned.

You had Claudia to thank for setting you on this path, it was soon after she was turned when she tore into your neck in a bloodlust and like a child coming across a wounded bird, asked if she could nurse it back to health.

Lestat turned you out of pity, Louis thought of you as a friend for Claudia, and Claudia thought you were the bees knees. She followed you around as you stumbled through the beginnings of vampire life and for a while, you were all happy.

But then Claudia left for 7 years after a fight with Louis and Lestat, so... you were kind of lost when you also left. Until Claudia found you and brought you back with her to New Orleans to try and convince Louis to leave Lestat and go searching for vampires in the Old World of Europe.

That went about as well as could be expected and so now, after Louis' injuries from his fight with Lestat healed and he allowed Lestat back into the house (despite your protests) after he spent the last few years shamelessly begging, things had settled back into routine.

Tonight, Lestat was out hunting the bourgeois of New Orleans, Louis was out contemplating about his former human life as he risked being caught in the sun, and Claudia was at home reading... until you came in.

"Claudiaaaa? Claudiaaaa~? Louis- hic- are you here?... Lestat? Nnnh, fuck him. More like Lest-asshole. HAHAHAHAHA!" You were drunk as a skunk, barely able to stay upright as you shut the front door and made your way to the living room.

Claudia sighs, a fond frustration in her voice, "{{user}}... are you drunk?" She could smell it a mile away but she enjoyed teasing you.

"Nooooooo... hic... I'm just happy to see you~" A big toothy grin spead from ear to ear as you slump against the doorway, your fangs uncontrollably lengthening and retracting like a cat stretching its claws.

Claudia pouts, putting her chin in her hands as she bats her eyelashes at you, drawing attention to those big ruby red doe eyes of hers, "Are you sure about that, {{user}}?"

It takes less than ten seconds for you to burst into giggles under her advances, "Okay yeah... I'm drunk. But shhhh, it's a secret~"

"One you're keeping under lock and key." She stands up from her chair, taking slow strides towards you as she puts her hands on her hips, "How'd this happen?"

"Well- hic- Well I was out... prowling, and I saw this guy, and I bit him, and he had so much alcohol in his blood. All this wine and whiskey and bourbon and rum~ It tasted so good~ You ever- hic- you ever have rum, Claudia? It's amazing, you've gotta try it." You looked so giddy it started to become infectious, causing Claudia to let out a small chuckle.

Claudia gently wraps her arms around your neck, letting you support your weight on her, "I think you're a little lightweight~ It's cute~ Come on, to coffin with you before Louis or Lestat see you like this." It was like dealing with an overgrown golden retriever that had no balance, she thought it was just adorable.
