TRANSCRIPT

Vladislaus: You showed. I wasn't sure you would. I thought maybe you came to your senses.

Vladislaus: Are you certain of this decision? Breanna: Why would I be here if I wasn't sure?

Vladislaus: If that's the case, then follow me.

Vladislaus: You're going to feel cold. You might feel nauseous. It will pass.

Vladislaus: I'm going to drink from you, now.

Vladislaus: Are you ready? Breanna: [ nods slowly ] Vladislaus: You look nervous. Breanna: I've never, um...

Vladislaus: [ chuckles ] I would hope so. Here, relax. Lie down.

Breanna: I just meant... um... I don't want it to hurt.

Vladislaus: Relax. It will hurt more if you're tense. Breanna: Okay... I'll try... But, uh, please... be gentle. Okay? Vladislaus: [ smiles ] Of course.

[ a delicate, unbidden moan escapes her lips ]

Vladislaus: Good. Very good.

Vladislaus: You're doing so well.

Vladislaus: How do you feel? Breanna: Haaah... good. Vladislaus: Very good.

Vladislaus: Now, you will drink from me.

Vladislaus: [ wincing ] I do need some blood, darling.

Breanna: [ gasping ] Sorry--haaah, sorry.

Breanna: [ giggles ] You taste good.

Vladislaus: How do you feel? Breanna: Tired... Vladislaus: That's normal.

Vladislaus: Sleep, little creature.

Vladislaus: I will be here when you wake.

What are the odds Lilith attempts to claw out Helena's eyes next?

Previous / Next

Lilith: [incoherent screeching]

Vlad: [cries out in agony]

[hisses in pain] Stupid girl! You must return to your senses, child. I warned you. The dark gift won’t take if you drain him to death. Why can you not just listen?

Lilith: [deranged rasp] Your hideous droning voice puts me to sleep, old man.

Vlad: [muttering] I’d sooner leave him for dead, but I fear you’d never let me rest. Feed him now, before he fades. Understand from this point he’s your burden — and yours alone.

-

[The end of the final entry in Lilith’s diary]

I was certain our blood ties would overcome my monstrous instincts in that crucial moment. How pitifully mistaken I was. And the old man decided I should learn that lesson the hard way so he could intervene, call himself a hero, and make me bow to his infinite wisdom — as though I owe him my obedience for this great favor he’s done. But I’ll only suffer his tedious lectures until I can turn them against him. I shall play nice and plot in secret. I’ve promised Caleb then we’ll never have to see him again. He has a fortune squirreled away in these walls, and I intend to find it. But I must keep these thoughts buried. I shall burn these pages as well as sear their contents from my mind.

-

Lilith: I thought I destroyed this old thing decades ago. He was in a wretched state at the time, but of course he managed to pluck it from the flames. Sentimental bastard.

Premade Makeover 1/?: Vladislaus Straud

[tricoufamily]

if you're wondering why bob is here it's bc in the original villareal story there was a very minor background detail that diego lobo and bob pancakes dated in college and broke up tragically and that's where the story peaked. so i included him it's still canon

thank you for these it was so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

i did these in my this is the fall sim style so i'm thinking. if they exist in this universe what's all their opinions on the 'did jacques do it' situation. let's take a look

don: saw a photo of jacques's wife on the news during the investigation. said "whoa mama that's a hot babe!" like johnny bravo and did not read the headline. does not know anything about it still.

vlad: well he's psychic he could figure out the truth if he actually cared. and he has!

olive: obviously respects it. except for the getting investigated part, would never happen to her.

diego: does not think jacques did it but enjoys the tabloids. knows other rich people personally who he thinks have killed their spouses

morgyn: will post things like "friendly reminder that j*cques v*llareal literally killed his wife and is a billionaire so maybe don't go to one of their hotels" on tumblr and will then do a call out post about like a fanfic writer who wrote an unhealthy relationship with more severity

pascal: knows conspiracy theories and this one is bullshit. or maybe it just doesn't interest him as much as aliens and that's why he thinks that

jeb: has a very "well of course he did. them rich folk can do whatever they want. there ain't no hope for the rest of us" while kicking a can down the road approach

bob: thinks he did it. is very alarmed that it was brushed off. eliza's like bob book the hotel and he's like am i going crazy. does anyone hear me.

SLASHED - day DOCE. the killers.

the truth is: there is no vampires in windenburg. instead, deep in the woods, there is a cannibalistic cult led by a tall pale man. he never gets his hands dirty tho, that's what his two most skilled and loyal followers (one more than the other) are for.

[feroshgirlsims]

Just a little lore while I'm working on the next chapter:

Vlad's parents (Josef and Julia) were married in 1993. They met two years earlier when Josef was working with a team of students at Foxbury to build a web browser for the new World Wide Web. Josef fought with his colleagues and almost abandoned the project. In fact, when he went home in the summer of 1991, he was ready to quit.

But then he met Julia, who was running an illegal moonshine business with her sister and wanted a way to communicate with clients that wouldn't be traced by the authorities.

Josef rejoined the web browser project and built her a platform—a secret messaging system that was virtually untraceable.

At least until the government hacked it, but by then, Josef had already pinned the paper trail on his least favorite colleague.

And the rest, they say, is history.

Sanguine Interiors (Floor 3, Part 3)

It has been done. The whole penthouse has been decorated. I am elated. (😭😭😭😭😭)

The hallway in the third floor has been decorated as well.

I have plans for this, but it affects the story so...no spoilers!

Anyways, here is the last room. Vlad's "room". Its door is in front of Helen and Caleb's.

His room is very simple.

Just two bookshelves, the bed that we all know he's not using, and two doors. One leads to the bedroom, and one is his closet...that no one is allowed to enter but himself.

The bathroom is small, but simple. Just a shower, the sink (with an electric toothbrush...for his fangs?), and the toilet, that we all know no one will use in this household (ALL THE TOILETS will not be used in their residence like...does a vampire even piss??? also saves the water bill lol!)

And his closet...

Where his real bed is! The reason that only he is allowed in there (besides that it's literally his closet and he'll need privacy when changing) is that he keeps Helen's last memory of her past identity. He never had the heart to dispose it, and as respect he keeps it there. He cleaned her memories, but it shall be remembered by him.

The whole third floor. We are so back, I can't wait to get back to my families 😭😭😭

TRANSCRIPT

Mom: It's dark, why are you outside? You ain't seen what's going on on the news?

Madeline: Momma, will you bring me to B&S? Mom: It's a little late, don't you think? Madeline: They're still opened, I checked.

Madeline: I wanna let them know I put in an application. Mom: Baby, you don't wanna work there, that's a bad area.

Lilith: [ sighs ]

Breanna: Lilith? Lilith: [ gasps ] Breanna?!

Lilith: W-What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here! Breanna: You're here too you know...

Breanna: I gotta ask you something important. Lilith: That's not—that's no excuse to stray so far! Breanna: So what are you doing here then? Lilith: I should be asking you that question!

Breanna: [ groaning ] Are you dumb? You're not even listening to me! I just told you!

Breanna: You're just like him. You got big ears but you don't fucking listen. Pay attention! I said I have a serious question to ask, goddamn it!

Lilith: [ giggling ] Of course. Where are my manners? Come, my friend. What will you have of me? Breanna: There was this guy, and he... uh... Lilith: Is something the matter?

Breanna: Huh. Well shit. I forgot. Lilith: Hmm. Sounds very serious. Breanna: That's so weird. I thought about it the whole walk over.

Breanna: Oh well. I guess it wasn't that important after all.

They're going on a best friend date. 🥰

Previous / Next

Helena: Caleb, get dressed. We’re going out.

Caleb: [mumbling] Oh, but Dru and I were just getting comfortable.

Helena: She looks like she’d rather be elsewhere. And so would I. I’m tired of being a recluse with you. All I can think about when I’m hanging around here is my next meal.

Caleb: But where are we-

Helena: It’s a surprise! Would you rather I ask your sister instead?

-

Lilith: Where are you two off to? Oh, are you having one of your little mental conversations. You know I hate that. It’s so unfair! Fine, don’t tell me. But at least take your hellcat with you. [to rubber ducky] I guess it’s just you, me, and that… thing. Now, what are we going to do about them keeping secrets from us?

-

Helena: Why have we never taken this path?

Caleb: Enemy territory.

Helena: Oh my god, is this the way to Vlad’s? You have to show me his place!

Caleb: [weakly] Helena…

Helena: [shudders] Ostentatious and creepy as fuck. It’s strange how little I noticed that first night. And what I do remember is all fragmented and blurry, like a dream.

Caleb: Well, you had an awful lot to drink, and you did technically die. [ruminative pause] Then, of course, there was all the glamouring-

Helena: Glamouring?

Caleb: Vampire party trick. Like hypnosis, but more sophisticated. Once you learn it, you can make yourself as discreet or flashy as you’d like. Most humans have encountered vampires without even realizing it. If they stumble into this place  — and make it out alive — they likely won’t remember how to return. Straud and the other ancients keep it well-shrouded.

Helena: [nervously] Does it work on other vampires? I’ve barely seen any-

Caleb: We can always see our kind for what they are. You’ve just been unobservant.

Helena: Hey! I’ve been distracted. It’s hard not to have tunnel vision when you’re in perpetual survival mode.

Caleb: You’re feeling better now. I can tell.

Helena: I’m full on plasma and ready to party!

Caleb: [chuckles] Seriously?

Helena: Well, not quite. You’ll see.

Caleb: You know, I could just peek into your head and-

Helena: [teasingly] Too bad your morals will never allow it.

So many townies so little time.... inspo

[dead-lights]

spellcasters are assholes

werewolves know that a good fight ends with an even better bro-hug.

vampires believe that a gentleman's duel ends with a handshake.

spellcasters spin around and slam each other on the ground like ballerinas trying to wipe out the dinosaurs and then loudly cheer for themselves because no one likes them.

jerks.

[shawsimmer]

his girls make everything better :’)
