2. LAMBING.

Tonight, just after sundown, there is a ruckus on one of the farms northeast of the village. When the bleating dies down, several dead lambs might be found in one of the enclosures. The ewes paw and nose at the bodies, dumb terror still fresh in their eyes.

Forest animals just have not been cutting it for Drusilla. But the vampire has been too wary to approach the village and feed there -- not without her Family, those who strengthen her. She stalks the journals during the day when she's not sleeping. Two slayers? A vampire hunter? All sorts of overpowered freaks and heroes and demons? She might be mad, but Dru is not stupid enough to attempt any kills in the village. Yet.

As she tears through the last lamb, the vampire laments to herself how much more fun this would be with Spike. And then she convinces herself in a long, drawn-out argument with a curiously red evening star -- which she quickly names Ethelind -- to spy on the sleeping village. Find out where the sweetest victims lay their heads. Her tattered white new-feather sundress, covered only by a black lace shawl, is stained red with lambs' blood. The dress of her porcelain doll, which she is carrying with her, is also stained. Perhaps she can stop at the shop for a new frock, and one for dolly, too.

When she glides through the village, Drusilla will dare to peek into some windows. She cannot enter any homes without an invitation.

[Dru will not be lingering around anyone she has identified as a threat. She is a powerful vampire but far more bold when working with lackeys or her "family" -- Angel, Spike, Darla. IF YOU WANT YOUR CHARACTER TO DIE OR BE INJURED AT THIS TIME JUST TELL ME IN A SUBJECT LINE, otherwise she won't be killing or hurting anyone in this post.]

But I'd hate to have to change my entire wardrobe to fancy capes.

[Yes, yes he would. No! He's met some vampires who are in good control of themselves to be law-abiding citizens, but he really doesn't get the impression he can trust her to be.]

Do you have a name, Ms. Creature of the Night?

If I call you just "Queen" will you be offended?

[Joke with dangerous things. Keep her talking, at any rate. This method somehow has to work, so he can stall her here at least long enough until dawn happens. Right? Maybe... Mulder is going to see what he can do, anyway.]

It depends on the tone you use, my fair shining knight. [She is more than glad to keep talking -- few will stomach this much of her nonsense, really.] Will you call me queen as though you wish to worship me?
most_unwanted: (told you so)

[Totally dry and straight-faced:] Only if you wear a sparkly tiara.
bloodwaif: (I am flattered)

Now how did you know how much I enjoy sparkly things?!

Well, they don't tend to make a non-sparkly brand of tiara, to my knowledge.

[Though he is fully thinking more "cheap princess tiara" than the crown jewels or anything.]
