Aricin Halen

ANNOYED INTERVIEWER: *limps into the room* Ugh..

ARICIN: *eyebrow lift* Did you get into a catfight?

ANNOYED INTERVIEWER: *glare* That is of no concern to you. Now, if you would please be so kind as to state your name?

ARICIN: Aricin Lucius Halen. I-U-S, no O.

ANNOYED INTERVIEWER: I see. Age?

ARICIN: Forty-six.

ANNOYED INTERVIEWER: Height?

ARICIN: Six-foot-nine.

ANNOYED INTERVIEWER: *eyebrow lift* Weight?

ARICIN: Um.. 350? Something like that.

ANNOYED INTERVIEWER: I must say, you're much more cooperative than your little lover.

ARICIN: *chuckle* I think a piece of cactus would be more cooperative.

ANNOYED INTERVIEWER: I don't know how you could have lasted twenty years with that crab.

ARICIN: Aww, he's not too bad. Have you seen his ass before? *starts daydreaming with big ol' smile*

INTERVIEWER: Erm.. Mr. Halen?

ARICIN: Oh! What, sorry?

INTERVIEWER: Well.. Birthday?

ARICIN: April fifteenth.

INTERVIEWER: YOU are quite obviously male..

ARICIN: Um.. Yes, I believe so. Would you like us to check?

INTERVIEWER: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, NO! I mean.. Ahem. No, thank you.

ARICIN: ... right then.

INTERVIEWER: Now, who are your parents?

ARICIN: Damien Halen and Elaine Alba.

INTERVIEWER: My notes here say they are no longer together.. Is this true?

ARICIN: Yes. They split up shortly after my little sister was born. Dad and me stayed in Maine and my mother moved to Florida with Narcissa.

INTERVIEWER: Narcissa is your sister?

ARICIN: Yes.

INTERVIEWER: And you appear to have.. strained relations with your sister?

ARICIN: *hesitant* Well.. you could say that.

INTERVIEWER: Will you please explain?

ARICIN: .. Eh. I mean, on the one hand, she's my little sister. And on the other.. let's just say I don't owe her any favors.

INTERVIEWER: What do you mean?

ARICIN: Nothing. Next question.

INTERVIEWER: I'm afraid I have to get all the answers, Mr. Halen. Please tell me what you mean about your sister.

ARICIN: *evil Aricin vampire glare* Is your last name deMorne, by any chance?

INTERVIEWER: .. No.

ARICIN: Bade?

INTERVIEWER: My name isn't important. Now what were we talking about? *sidetracked* Oh. What are the current statuses on all of your immediate family? *easily distracted*

ARICIN: *triumphant grin* Well.. Technically speaking, Ma lives in Florida and Cissa is in Illinois, but right now they're staying in the Underworld because of the Black Phoenix, and Ma's engaged to the Prince of the Underworld.

INTERVIEWER: The Prince of the Underworld?

ARICIN: Oh, yeah. Liam's dad.

INTERVIEWER: ... Liam?

ARICIN: Little brat of a kid. Great guy, though. *big grin*

INTERVIEWER: Right. What about your father?

ARICIN: Oh, he's dead.

INTERVIEWER: He was killed, no?

ARICIN: Yeah. By the Black Phoenix, just a few months ago.

INTERVIEWER: What exactly is this Black Phoenix you keep mentioning?

ARICIN: Well.. they're a government sponsored organization that is highly invested in the immediate extinction of all immortals. They went after my family and Daisy's as well. Luckily, Dad was the only one they were able to get their hands on.

INTERVIEWER: Oh.. I'm very sorry.

ARICIN: Why be?

INTERVIEWER: *offended sniff* So, let's go back a few steps. You are a vampire, yes?

ARICIN: More or less.

INTERVIEWER: .. What's that supposed to mean?

ARICIN: I have a few other things going on for me. But yes, I am a vampire.

INTERVIEWER: .. Very well. How were you turned?

ARICIN: After I was expelled from college, I went and kinda toured the world with the leftover money. I was in Romania when I ran into Erik and Daisy Gautier. Erik was vampire, Daisy a werewolf.. They invited me over one night and Erik turned me, telling me that he needed my help in defeating Dracula. So-

INTERVIEWER: Wait a minute, wait a minute.. Dracula? Like, Bram Stoker?

ARICIN: No, my dear girl. THE Dracula. Like, Vlad Tepes. Although I did know the Bram Stoker Dracula. *grin*

INTERVIEWER: .. And how is that?

ARICIN: Well, a friend of ours is the daughter of the Bram Stoker Dracula. Leo, if you prefer.

INTERVIEWER: And where is he now?

ARICIN: Oh, he's dead and buried back in Canada.

INTERVIEWER: How did he die?

ARICIN: Alex killed him.

INTERVIEWER: Who's Alex?

ARICIN: His daughter.

INTERVIEWER: ..Daughter?

ARICIN: Alexandra.

INTERVIEWER: Oh .. Why did she kill him?

ARICIN: 'Cause he was possessed by the Devil.

INTERVIEWER: .. WHAT?!

ARICIN: *huff* The Devil isn't REALLY like, the Devil.. (<-- smooth, big guy) He's just this really cocky demon, right? So Alex had had some previous relations with him, meaning Pierre wanted her ass and would do anything to get it, so he kidnapped Alex. But her and her soon-to-be big ass Highlander husband saved her soul and all that. They thought they had killed Pierre, but then he came back and possessed Daisy to get to Alex so he could kill her, 'cause he figured if he couldn't have her then no one could. But we found him out and so Leo drew Pierre into his body and got Alex to kill him.

INTERVIEWER: .. One moment please. *walks over to door and knocks*

RANDOM GUARD: *pokes head in* Can I help you?

INTERVIEWER: Could we get some water, please? Actually, you know what.. ? Just bring us some coffee

RANDOM GUARD: Yessum. *runs off*

INTERVIEWER: Hope you don't mind.

ARICIN: Nope. Have a bad day?

INTERVIEWER: *glare* While we're waiting, let's just keep going. So going back to the REAL Dracula.. Are you saying you're his..?

ARICIN: Grand-fledgling, I guess you could say. Though I'm hardly a fledgling anymore, so he's more of my grandsire.

INTERVIEWER: I see. And so you killed him?

ARICIN: Yeah. Well we both kinda did.

INTERVIEWER: We?

ARICIN: Erik and I.

INTERVIEWER: Right. And what did you do after that?

ARICIN: Well, there's that whole thing where a fledgling needs to stay with his or her sire for a year, right? So-

RANDOM GUARD: *comes back with tray of cups and a coffee pitcher and coffee accessories*

INTERVIEWER: Thank you. *serves coffee* You were saying? *puts in a crapload of sugar*

ARICIN: .. Is your last name Mastife?

INTERVIEWER: I SAID NO! WHAT WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT BEFORE?!

ARICIN: Errr.. Oh! Right. So, after Dracula, I went back to the states with Daisy and Erik and stayed with them for a while. I was introduced to Kael and Alex, we added Liam to the group, then Erik bought the Opera Populaire (a cookie for whoever recognizes that! ) in Paris and we were hanging out there and added Ferrin. Some time after we got back, Miranda and Bruce were visiting and Miranda was attacked by this shadow thing. Come to find it's actually a man who's in pretty bad shape, so we all patch him up and viola! We got Kara.

INTERVIEWER: And you're.. with Kara, are you not?

ARICIN: *big stupid Viking grin* (he's a Viking.. actually, he's an Italian Viking xD) Yeah.

INTERVIEWER: And you're both male?

ARICIN: .. I believe so. I mean, last time we did anything I was pretty sure there were two-

INTERVIEWER: Yes, yes! I understand. So you're both homosexuals, then?

ARICIN: Eh.. Yeah.

INTERVIEWER: You sound rather hesitant about that.

ARICIN: Do I? *subtly adjusts self and changes position in seat*

INTERVIEWER: I get the feeling this is an uncomfortable subject.

ARICIN: Not really.. Okay, here's the thing. *spreads hands out* Kara's gay, yeah. And if you ever listen to him for five minutes, you know he was born that way. *grin* Me, on the other hand.. I fell in love with Kara. Male, female, or transgender penguin, I still would have loved him. You see?

INTERVIEWER: Indeed.

ARICIN: Although, I must admit a transgender penguin would be rather interesting. I wonder if we could come up with any new-

INTERVIEWER: Mr. Halen! Can we continue, please? Now, what was this you were mentioning earlier? About you being something more

than just a vampire?

ARICIN: Oh, well I'm also a fire elemental.

INTERVIEWER: Like.. flames and all?

ARICIN: ... No, like snow and popsicles.

INTERVIEWER: Ahem.. And how did this come about?

ARICIN: Well, Daisy and Erik's kid Andre was apparently this like, little prophecy kid called the Feagen, who was wanted by the Nanamouh and the Tir Eld so that they could cleanse the world of all assholes. It's this big complicated ritual that involves anywhere from nine to ten people, eight of which are the elementals and their opposites.

INTERVIEWER: .. What's the Na-ma-nama.. What?

ARICIN: It's spelled N-A-N-A-M-O-U-H, but you don't pronounce the second 'na'; so it's just like na-mou. Anyway, they're like, the servants of the Tir Eld, more or less. His people, and whatnot.

INTERVIEWER: Who's the Tir Eld?

ARICIN: This big ass dragon god from another planet.

INTERVIEWER: .. Are you smoking something?

ARICIN: ..No.

INTERVIEWER: Are you drunk?

ARICIN: No.

INTERVIEWER: You're sure you're not stoned?

ARICIN: .. Yes.

INTERVIEWER: And you are otherwise in full control of your mental facilities?

ARICIN: ... Yeah.

INTERVIEWER: Right then. Just checking. So what were we talking about? Oh, the elements. Explain that more.

ARICIN: Well.. There's nake and anke, right? Ying and yang, more or less. So for the elements, we have Cinaed, Avani, Wayra, and Asyu, which translate over to, in that order, Fire, Ice or Water, Wind, and Earth. So, I'm a Cinaed, and my opposite would be a Nake-Avani, who just so happens to be Kara. Generally speaking the opposites don't have to be together as a couple, but all of us were which was why it was so cool and convenient for the Nanamouh and the Tir Eld. So like, Daisy's Wayra and Erik's Nake-Asyu. Then Alex is Avani, Kael is Nake-Cinaed. Ferrin is Asyu, and Liam is Nake-Wayra. Follow?

INTERVIEWER: I think so. So the nake's are opposite as in dark and light, and also by element?

ARICIN: Exactly.

INTERVIEWER: Interesting.. But the others aren't as powerful as you, are they?

ARICIN: Well, no. After we managed to convince the Tir Eld that we wanted Andre to stick around, he let everyone keep control of their elements but granted me full control of mine, basically 'cause he thought I was special.

INTERVIEWER: So you can control fire?

ARICIN: I AM fire. *stands up and pulls up shirt* That's the symbol for fire in the language of the Nanamouh. It glows whenever I use my element, and whenever I'm around really hot fire.

INTERVIEWER: ..*drooling*

KARA: *bounces in* Aricin!! *flytackle* Hey, why is she staring at you? Why is your shirt up? BACK OFF, BITCH!

INTERVIEWER: *crawls under table and hides*

ARICIN: Hello, love. Miss me?

KARA: Are you done here? 'Cause I wan- *is cut off by amazing Aricin kiss*

ARICIN: *pushes Kara onto table and climbs atop him*

INTERVIEWER: Oh God.. Gentlemen, we really don't need this. Hey, stop that! Don't touch him there!..... Holy shit. Big Viking. I mean! Uh! GENTLEMEN! GAAAAH! *runs from room*

Fini! *faints with relief*
