Welcome to Gaia! ::

Elle decided now was a great time to hide the mess. She ducked inside, grabbed a garbage back and started to shove the ruined things inside as fast as she could, it had spent too long looking like a cheesey Halloween thing anyway.

"Um. I kind of stalked a vampire. Who was smart enough to know he was being stalked, and I don't know... I was curious. I didn't mean for it to end like it did though."

"Oh!" Well, at least Elle could explain that one and not make herself seem anymore the half-monster she already was.

"That was just these," She held up a plastic bag clearly labeled 'Type O Blood + Enhanced Energy' before dropping it into the bag, "I just got... I tried to eat after...well, what happened with the vampire. But I couldn't eat it. It was cold and gross. I ended up throwing them all at the fire with bad aim."

"Haven't thought that far ahead yet." Elle sniffed at a bag still with some left in it and made a face. She wasn't sure if she could go back to this crap. It was like she'd eaten something with the flavour of dust for fifteen years... then after so long, had a plum. Or something like that. How was she supposed to go back to the dust when there was 'plum' still lingering in her mouth and veins?!

"Guess it can wait. I can last out till after Halloween now."

"Of course I'm sure." Well, she really wasn't sure, Elle hadn't tried going that long without the red stuff before. But she didn't need it as often as humans needed food, Dr. Kamiki had said so once, and Luna's blood made her feel more awake than the prepackaged stuff.

But boy did she feel guilty about that.

"So...you won't be around for Halloween?"

"Did you get a message?" Elle added quickly, "Not that I'm prying, you don't need to tell me about secret army stuff. "

"Wow, that would be weird. Esspically having someone in your head. But I knew you were powerful..." Elle flushed and went back to the cleaning. It was nearly all up now, and in the dark the spilt blood was easily hidden in shadows. Her shack almost looked back to normal.

She dumped the bag outside beside the doorway and brought in broken bits of door to pile on the fireplace.

Elle stopped arranging the wood to go sit next down to Luna, forgetting anything but Luna. Was Luna upset? She didn't like it when Luna was upset. "You'd worry me if you got a splinter. Seriously, it's okay. I was just afraid I'd hurt you badly. ...did I?"

"I knew I liked Liechi when I heard her talk." Elle's hands were reaching for her tail and she played with the end as she always did when she was unsure of what to do. "Is plasma different from blood? I thought it was the same thing."
