Interview with the Vampire

I was instructed by the Countess to speak to a journalist to arrange a time for an interview to take place. It appears that the leader of another clan, having spent a very enjoyable evening with Milady, recommended her as the subject of an interview when the journalist friend of his wanted to conduct an interview with a 'Vampire Queen'. It is gratifying to know that others hold her in a similar high regard as myself.
Upon speaking to the journalist, Mr Voom, I couldn't help but notice his good manners, something that would surely help him in his contact with Milady, as they are something that she prizes very highly indeed.
The interview was set and Mr Voom arrived at the Motherhouse a little late due to a crash. I now post the transcript of the meeting with Mr Voom's very kind permission.

Janus Fotherington: Welcome sir
Celeron Voom: ty ^-^
Janus Fotherington: If you'd like to follow me please?
Celeron Voom: sure ^-^

Rachel Aldrich: I was sorry to hear of your accident Mr Voom
Rachel Aldrich: I trust you are well enough?
Celeron Voom: my lady i must apoligize up front , my internet is acting very strange so if i crash is it alright if i give you the other questions in notcard if our times dont meet
Rachel Aldrich: Of course my Dear
Celeron Voom: im fine its just my internet , but thanks , and a very lovly home you have
Rachel Aldrich smiles "Thank you, it suits us very well indeed"
Celeron Voom: I will ask you just a few questions , if you dont mind ^-^
Rachel Aldrich: Certainly
Celeron Voom: first what is your job as the vampire queen
Rachel Aldrich: It's more of a vocation than a job... my prime responsibility is in the well-being and welfare of all my childer within the clan
Celeron Voom: ok so are you more like a mother to your clan
Rachel Aldrich: Yes, that is precisely it, my childer all refer to me as 'Mother'
Celeron Voom: very cool , what is your prime duties as the mother of the clan
Rachel Aldrich: As I've mentioned, looking after my childer, it involves ensuring that they are kept well fed... it is very harmful to them if they don't feed regularly
Rachel Aldrich: I also have some interaction with other clan leaders
Rachel Aldrich: I am the focus of the clan if you will
Celeron Voom: ok i understand
Celeron Voom: tell me a bit about your clan
Rachel Aldrich nods
Rachel Aldrich: The name of our clan is Liberi Atrum, which literally means Children of Darkness....
Rachel Aldrich: We started as a coven within another clan, but felt that we should strike out on our own and declared ourselves a clan
Celeron Voom: very cool
Rachel Aldrich: I have some 60 childer all linked to me via the bloodline
Celeron Voom: wow , so just to ask what makes your clan diffrent from all the others
LauraAnne Sheridan smiles
Rachel Aldrich smiles "A lot of the other clans tend to concentrate on numbers..."
Rachel Aldrich: They are only concerned with being the biggest...
Rachel Aldrich: to them that equates to being the best, but we don't feel that way....
Rachel Aldrich: We are a clan that puts quality over quantity...
Rachel Aldrich: We are an RP clan, first and foremost...
Rachel Aldrich: we are a family...
Celeron Voom: brillantly put
Rachel Aldrich: I look out for my childer, and we all support each other
Lone Spitteler: nods
Celeron Voom: ok the next question i wanted to ask was did you start as a normal vampire and moved as queen or was that your title you were given
Rachel Aldrich: I started as a normal vampire.... though my history before being a vampire was that of an aristocrat....
Rachel Aldrich: but I didn't bring anything with me to this new life other than my own values....
Rachel Aldrich: but the person that Embraced me with the Dark Gift valued me and as the Princess of her clan soon bestowed titles upon me
Celeron Voom: very nice
Rachel Aldrich smiles
Celeron Voom: what is the diffrence from a rp vampire and vampire stories
Celeron Voom: or movies i mean
Rachel Aldrich: Goodness, now there's a question and a half.....
Rachel Aldrich: There are a lot of different versions of vampires within fiction and movies....[Rachel Aldrich: I would say that an RP vampire has to be true to the essence of the established lore, and above all be consistant....
Rachel Aldrich: I myself, as an 'old' vampire, have to watch out for the daylight in this world
Celeron Voom: k
Rachel Aldrich: the younger ones do not... they can walk in the light....
Rachel Aldrich: But I always make sure that I wear a cloak and hood if I venture out during the day....
Celeron Voom: very interesting
Rachel Aldrich: the daily cycles within this world are geared towards more hours of daylight, there are three hours of daylight to one hour of darkness....
Rachel Aldrich: I fortunately have my private residence in a region where it is permanent twilight/night
Celeron Voom: cool
Rachel Aldrich arches eyebrow "Very"
Celeron Voom: ok you answered the first questions brillantly , now its time for personal questions 8 not too personal , just your avi*
Celeron Voom: *
Rachel Aldrich: of course Dear
Celeron Voom: what brought you to bloodlines
Rachel Aldrich: I came across it by chance... I was familiar with 'The Thirst' HUD and when I decided to try that one in preference to one that I'd had previously I was VERY pleasantly surprised to find that the Bloodlines had been added to it
LauraAnne Sheridan: Mother was a vampire quite sometime before this system as well
Celeron Voom: what was the best day for you as a queen
LauraAnne Sheridan: as were many of us
Rachel Aldrich: Best day had to be when we declared Liberi Atrum as Clan
LauraAnne Sheridan smiles
Celeron Voom: ^-^
Celeron Voom: have you ever had any bad days as a queen
LauraAnne Sheridan shifts uncomfortably
Celeron Voom: im sorry , if you dont want to you dont have to answer that
Rachel Aldrich ponders "I think I have had some disappointing moments... but it has never been a 'bad day' as such"
Celeron Voom: k
Celeron Voom: when you rp is there a famous vampire or vampire you like to use as a infulnce
Rachel Aldrich: No, I can't say there is one that I could instantly say "Yes, I want to be like them"....
Rachel Aldrich: I'm very familiar with some of the famous creations, but I see this aspect as another side of me.....
Rachel Aldrich: As has been said in one popular vampire fiction... Vampires are like the person they were, only more so
Celeron Voom: very well put
Rachel Aldrich smiles
Celeron Voom: now you finished the hard part and time for my fun and last questions
Rachel Aldrich smiles
Celeron Voom: cat or dogs
Rachel Aldrich: cats
Celeron Voom: k me too lol
Celeron Voom: fav music
Rachel Aldrich: All types.... Evanescence , Enigma, Beatles, classical... could go on for ages
Celeron Voom smiles " ok do you perfer art or fashion "
Rachel Aldrich: Art
Celeron Voom: last one do you have any tips for any vampires starting out
Rachel Aldrich: Yes, find yourself a very good mentor, someone that is prepared to show you what it means to be vampire, and help you grow... too many are just bitten, drained and left discarded by the wayside to fend for themselves.....
Rachel Aldrich: In Bloodlines your soul can only be given once, give it to someone deserving
Celeron Voom: once again brillantly put , and the interview is finished
Rachel Aldrich: My thanks Mr Voom
Celeron Voom: more my thanks is on my side , thank you for letting me do this interview
