TEXTS FROM LAST NIGHT GENERATOR

[whowillmourn]

In six thousand years, I have not seen a moral way to make people stop. I can handle insults, for most words do not bruise my heart, yet I step in when I must. That is the best course I have determined. You could even say it is simply me doing the best I can, same as anyone else.

[huntedtyphoon]

I hope in six thousand years that things are better on Noman's Land. I hope so anyway.

[whowillmourn]

I may or may not be there to see it, but I hope the same for the Frontier in six thousand years.

[huntedtyphoon]

Yeah, I don't actually know how long I can live? That seems like a long time.

[whowillmourn]

I am not the oldest vampire, but it is a long time to live, and even for someone who can live that long, living that long is another matter.

[huntedtyphoon]

I know. Living a long time is difficult.

[whowillmourn]

Sounds like you've already started it. I hope you find people to make it more bearable, even if only for a time. [ A human lifetime is so short. ]

[huntedtyphoon]

There's a couple of people that I'm close to. But usually, not really. I can't really stick around most of the time.

[whowillmourn]

While I understand not being able to linger in one place, I doubt your reasons are the same as my own. If you do not mind sharing, I would like to inquire why not?

[huntedtyphoon]

I have a bounty on my head and people like to try and collect it and cause a lot of damage to the people around me so it's better not to get caught.

[whowillmourn]

I have repeatedly had a bounty on my head, but as a vampire, most people leave that to vampire hunters. There's no point in them even trying.

It sounds as though you must spend much of your time alone, and I have done the same, so you have my sympathies.

[huntedtyphoon]

I do. I spend time with people when I can. For as long as I can, and when the heat gets too hot I leave. I always come back eventually though.

[whowillmourn]

That is a challenging life, never getting to settle down with people, yet I am familiar. When I came here, I lived alone in the City of the Night, as I have often lived. Alone.

Yet I hope you have some refuge you may return to, to rest and replenish your energy, to have somewhere that is safe or at least safer.

[huntedtyphoon]

I try not to linger there much so that it stays safe. A couple days every twenty years or so, something like that.

I lose track of time sometimes.

[whowillmourn]

[ There's something terrible and possibly worse about the nature of Vash's loneliness. Able to be with people in ways Mayerling cannot but only for a short while, even with those who care for him. So much of Mayerling's existence has been spent alone, but the times he has found people he loves, the times he has people, he truly has them. He is with them for all the time, for as long as they have together. He's sad on Vash's behalf and wishes it could be different, yet that is tragedy. Things are the way they are, and they cannot always be improved. ]

You lack anything to anchor your sense of time, so it makes sense that you would lose it. I wish all my years gave me any insight or advice to make such experiences less terrible, yet nothing that truly makes a difference comes to mind. I can only say that I treasure what good experiences and people I have while I have them, no matter how much losing them pains me later.

[huntedtyphoon]

Yeah, I was traveling with some friends before I came here? I don't usually do that, but for a little while, there's no harm done. I know we're going to have to part ways soon, that I'm sure of.

It's too bad I don't want to.

[whowillmourn]

If your friends know and understand the risks, perhaps you could let them make up their own minds. There is no guarantee that they would choose to part ways with you, and you only stand to gain.

[huntedtyphoon]

No, I'm not going to make them or anything but I just...know how it goes.

I bring a lot of trouble with me.

[whowillmourn]

Do not underestimate your friends, for they may consider you worth all of that trouble. Such people may be rare, but I have met them throughout my time, and in return I have found people worth all the trouble they bring.

[huntedtyphoon]

Maybe. I love them for every minute I get. I will still do that when they turn on me. It's not their fault.

[whowillmourn]

[ Mayerling continues to be sad for the way Vash talks. His sadness may be more open, coming off him even in his happy moments, yet it feels less sad that the upbeat forced happiness Vash gives. ]

Perhaps someday someone you love will not turn on you. It could happen. Pray tell, how is turning on you not their fault?

[huntedtyphoon]

Circumstance, mostly. Like I said. I bring a lot of trouble. I can't be mad at them.

Someday, huh...

[whowillmourn]

You can be mad at them, and if you are—truly are, when you are honest with yourself—it is better to be mad with them and work out the issues than to hold them inside yourself forever.

It remains a possibility.

[huntedtyphoon]

I'm really not mad. I can't be mad. Not when I deserve it.

[whowillmourn]

Emotions do not care for logic. Even should you deserve it, even should you be in the wrong, your emotions do what they will.

Though on that topic, I question why you deserve to be betrayed over and over again.
