Well, it started long before America. You know how Eleni is. And we lived in Eastern Europe for a time, back before the fall of the Berlin Wall, staying outside of the city, where they're still peasants, and I had to be more careful. There were some close calls. Well, they say it's hard to unlearn anything once you've learned it. Even though I'm not sure there's as much reason to be careful, I am.
I suppose this is negating my threat to become a notorious serial killer if you don't join my Facebook group, isn't it?

Do you have any idea if she's still alive?
Oh yes. Although I was hoping you'd forgotten.

No. She left. If she did not intend to die at that point, she made her opinion clear. I can't say it doesn't sting. I never wanted her like I did you, but I suppose, if you spend enough time with someone, it doesn't matter how little you thought you had liked them. I hope she is, but I have never thought much of hoping.
If your invitation to the Island still stands, I might be persuaded to.

If it brings you any comfort at all, she left the theatre too.
The invitation always stands. If you need transportation, that can also be arranged.

Eleni is that sort of person. I seem to attract them. But yes, I gathered she had when she found me. It sounds as though they all did. How in the world did anyone new ever come about? When I read about them in your Louis' book I was rather astonished.
I am very excited about this now. I couldn't make it tonight, I don't think - well, I could start off in an hour and make it in two nights, I think. I suppose. Hm. How could you arrange transportation?

They crept in over the years. Like rats. They were attracted by the legend of the theatre of vampires.
I have a jet. It's too close to dawn to make it tonight, but I could have it there at dusk if you'll give me a meeting place.

Ha. That's a delightful thought. How tedious you'd have found them. I probably would have, too. They did sound so jaded. I am glad I never met them. The Theater will always exist in my memory as belonging to violent and experimental times, and violent and experimental trains of thought, rather than jadedness masquerading as such.
Armand, I love you. You might want to avoid me when the jet lands. I'll want to embrace you. There's a field a few miles from here. I don't suppose that would work. [*includes link to map of the area*]

Mmm. The theatre was nothing at all like it had started when it was burned.
I don't see why you think a gesture like that would make me want to avoid you. You don't think I would have greeted you coldly? I'll be happy to see you, Nicolas. I'll have my man pick you up tomorrow night at 8.

I suppose... I might be glad it's gone. It's better something be destroyed than let time destroy it. I suppose relationships are like that. There's something I've learned that I couldn't have known before. I should feel old, but I find I don't.
Armand, I love you. What are all the ways they say it nowadays? The little heart? <3? Yes, I think that's it. <333333.

And what is it they say these days, those little letters for laughter? LOL? lol.
Oh, that felt awful. I have, however, mastered astericks. *shudders*

I have used that one. Not very seriously. But occasionally, as you will see if ever you look through the pages of pictures I have here, it shows up in my comments. I have not mastered astericks, though. They remind me of speaking in the third person, which feels very strange to me. I am always first person. It makes Lestat's book strange to read even when it is not already perverse to begin with.
How about abbreviations? Do you use them?

No. Abbreviations are lazy.

Well, fyi, that is the point of them.

Lazy and ill-mannered.

They're not meant to be that. I'm sorry. I don't suppose you've ever tried to text anyone, though. That does make a difference.
