[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.

[ Her voice is softer, expression as well. She gestures forward, allowing him to lead the way for the time being. ]
I can eat and walk. [ She's still burning calories this way, at least. ] What do you want to talk about?
no subject
Powers, I guess. I mean, there's been a lot about things like that recently.
[And besides, he imagines Power Girl isn't interested in discussing the rumours that Dorian Gray had enjoyed teasing her about.]
Did you always have your powers, even back where you're from?
no subject
It's a bit different for me. I'm not actually from Earth.
[ She arches a curious brow, glancing back at him. ]
What about you?
no subject
He can't hide his surprise at Power Girl's mention that she isn't from Earth. Though really, it's not as if that's impossible, and soon a curious expression replaces his initial shock. But then he answers,]
Oh, I—well, I more or less had the same abilities back home. [Minus the whole siring when feeding, but he's still on the fence about fessing up to that.] And sometimes, it's like I've been this way long enough to forget what it's like to be "human".
no subject
Well, what do you think being human is?
no subject
Well. I guess, it's being with them? Feeling like them—literally, I mean. [Wondering how else to express it, about what makes someone 'human', he glances over at her and her munchies before an acknowledging look washes over his features. It's not like he gets to eat the things she gets to.] In a lot of ways, I guess. I don't think it's something that can be simplified...
no subject
[ Like Tobias says, there's no straightforward answer to it. Too philosophical in nature, she realizes. ]
You live among them for the most part. You still go about your day like one, right?
