[OPEN] A creature not too bright or good / For human nature's daily food,
WHO: Tobias Matthews and YOU.
WHERE: Various Porter cities.
WHEN: Various times of the month. But always at night.
WHAT: Toby visits places and meets/talks to people.
WARNINGS: Toby's a vampire. To be updated if necessary.
de chima for Power Girl
[Since Lucy Pevensie's brother Edmund has arrived, Toby's decided to put more effort into visiting De Chima in hopes of possibly running into him. After all, he seems quite a pleasant fellow who seems to be getting along well enough with Dorian, if their conversation on Edmund's network post is anything to go by. Sure, Toby had said they could meet at the swear-in, but no harm could come of swinging by and seeing if they might run into each other even earlier than that.
But no, he doesn't have that sort of good fortune with him tonight. However, he does see someone familiar who he hasn't really met before, neither on the network nor in person. Still, Toby recognises her as someone who's been in the news with Dorian sometime recently, sometime within the past couple months if Toby recalls correctly.
Hopefully he doesn't seem stupid, calling out like this,] Uhh, excuse me!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you the same Power Girl as the one mentioned by the Shade on the network sometime ago?
[You know, the same one who is said to have had an illegitimate daughter with a certain Dorian Gray?]
heropa for Daryl Dixon
[Toby's also been gunning for opportunities to run into Daryl at the mall. It's pretty hit or miss, but Toby thinks it's more the fault of his own schedule rather than anything else. Even if most of their meetings are more the hi-bye sort. But then again, there's something valuable about companionable silence, and Toby hopes he's able to give Daryl something of that sort.
But lately, with the Stark incident and these natives who have recently found themselves with powers they can't control or understand, Toby's been doing a lot of thinking. This isn't the first that an imPort has affected the native population in an altogether controversial way. No, it reminds Toby of what he's done, about the native vampires he sired and the ones killed by Nicolas Demidov. But more than that, Toby also wonders—his siring natives can't have been the first an imPort has affected natives and given them powers, changing them and their lives completely.
So when he's sitting at the fountain with Daryl this one evening,]
You know that thing that happened last month, when the natives were affected by this... application created by Tony Stark. I was wondering if you had any thoughts on that—and the natives affected by it.
wildcard!

no subject
[He frowns down at the fountain water.]
The one guy, Terry—I actually told him. Before feeding, I told him what would happen, and I took his agreement as consent even before Sabriel used her binding magic. Miz Maryam said it couldn't have counted because he didn't know what he was getting into, becoming... like me.
[Sometimes, he's proud of what he is and can even tolerate the word. This isn't one of those times. Even still, he lets out a small sigh.]
He's the only one out of the fledgelings who's attacked anyone else. And then last May, that werewolf Demidov killed him.
no subject
[Because it sure sounded to Daryl like the guy understood what he was getting into. And that he decided to abuse and use the changes made if he was the only one attacking others.
Daryl had no real opinion on if killing him was the right thing or not, but that wasn't really the matter at hand.]
no subject
[Toby's hand goes to his head, rubbing its side as he thinks. And then he shakes his head.]
What I do know is that he threw me out after I fed, and only sometime later did we find out he'd attacked several people. Really, he could've done it for any reason. But now, there isn't any way to find out.
no subject
[The one that attacked people, he might have deserved it. The others, Daryl couldn't say. Wasn't going to try and guess, either. But it might help Tobias if he talked about it more. That's the way it worked for most people, anyway.]
no subject
[Kanaya got them out of the Porter cities and has put them someplace further out, where they could stay under the radar and out of the public eye.]
I mean, even I don't know where they are. Though... maybe that's for the better.
[But not for any particular reason, honestly. Toby sighs slowly, as if letting out a breath he'd been holding.]
no subject
[Not knowing where they were meant he couldn't protect them. Whether he wanted to was more a question of him feeling responsible for them or not. He obviously hadn't when it first happened. Now, though... Well, that was up to him.]
You want to find them?
no subject
[He rubs his head, thinking.]
I mean, I want them to know that I'm sorry. I want to make up for changing them, I want to just. I don't know, I want to do something even though I know nothing I do can give back what I've taken from them. Besides, Miz Maryam's made it more than perfectly clear that I shouldn't see them.
no subject
I could find them. Make sure they're okay. Let them know.
no subject
Having an actual way to find his remaining fledgelings didn't seem realistic until now. In spite of disagreements with Kanaya about personally approaching and apologising to them, he managed to respect her decision and their personal boundaries. At some point, he even wanted to completely wash his hands clean of them, as if that were even possible. But if Daryl can actually find them to let them know (and it's highly doubtful he'd suggest it if he didn't mean it), then... Toby really doesn't know how he actually wants to go about it.
And yet. This really seems like an opportunity he shouldn't pass up. So it's after some time of mulling about it that Toby slowly and quietly answers,]
I... I think I'd like that. If you would. I mean, of course I probably should think of what I want to say, how I want to say it, and—
Also, how long would it take? for you to do something like that, I mean.
no subject
[Daryl gave a small shrug and let his eyes drop once more to his feet.]
And if you can get me a picture of them. Drawin'll do. And their names. I need to know what they look like, who they are. 's'how the power they gave me works. If you can't, then I'll talk ta Kanaya. See if she'll take me to 'em.
[He wasn't any stranger to wanting closure. Tobias seemed to really want some. No garauntee they'd want to accept anything from the man, but Daryl could at least give them the choice. He was assuming Kanaya hadn't. Maybe not the right assumption. He'd find out if Toby had no way of getting him pictures of those he'd turned.]
