[Say hello to an angular looking face that's not smiling. He is smoking, which is all part of the bad boy look. Maybe.]

Let's get one thing clear here, yeah? Last thing I need is a bunch of goody-goodies hunting me down out of some obligated sense of protecting the masses. Yes, I'm a vampire. Ooh. Scary, I know.

[Hands lift to do a little 'woo' motion, a cigarette between two fingers that he pauses to take a drag from before continuing in a thick, lower-class British accent.]

No, I can't eat any humans. Got me on that synthetic crap here. So unless one of you plans on dropping off a bag of type you on my doorstep, consider yourselves safe.

[And it pains him to admit that. It's obvious on his face.]

So instead of blaming me for being all terrible and mean -- which I am, try blaming whatever brought me here. I was just off, being a vampire in my own little word, then poof. I wake up here. Not my fault. Didn't sign up for it. So you hero types, you bleeding heart goody-goodies, you can all put your pitchforks down and go pet a puppy or something.

[He pauses for a moment, then points at the screen.]

Non-humans, however, I can still hurt. So if you're up for an asskicking, by all means, come a'knocking. I could do with a good fight. It's too... nice around here. Gives me the willies. And please, don't try to come back with some 'all bad needs to be stopped'. It's bollocks. Every world needs a bit of bad. It's what gives the goodies something to be all superior over.

Religion's hardly an excuse when the gods are actually real. But I can see neither of us are going to convince the other.

[Still, philosophical debates with an actual monster is something he never thought he'd be doing. It's rather interesting.]

The difference now, vampire, is that none of those people were me. If I wanted you dead, trust me, it would happen.

[idolpire]

Already dead, mate. Think you missed that part, didn't you.

[Guess who didn't look the least bit concerned that someone may or may not be threatening to kill him?]

[ragnarsson]

[It's alright. Ivar is used to having no one take him seriously. It makes it all the more satisfying when he slams an axe through their heads.]

There's dead and then there's dead. I've never met anything I couldn't kill before.

[Draugr were undead monsters too, but the Norsemen had no trouble killing them off when they attacked.]

[idolpire]

[In answer to that, he gave Ivar a wave.]

Nice to meet you, Mate. Name's Spike, and if you try offing me for real, I'll happily pull your spine out of your chest and beat you with it.

[ragnarsson]

Spike?

[A short laugh makes his way out of his throat. It's an odd name, one that conjures up images of the wooden spikes the Vikings used for protection when making camps outside of their own territory.]

You say the nicest things. I'm Ivar Ragnarsson, Ivar the Boneless to some. [A name that some here recognized from the history books.] And you're welcome to try to kill me anytime.

[idolpire]

[Would he prefer William the Bloody? And the name would have been familiar if Spike had given a whit about history. Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, he hadn't. Unless Ivar in his world had some connection to some vampire trinket, he was useless to Spike and therefore boring.]

I would, but I've just put out this little ditty saying that I wouldn't. You trying to make a liar of me?

[ragnarsson]

I'm saying you're all bark and no bite.

[It's so easy to antagonize someone over the network. Though really, being in person wouldn't have stopped Ivar one bit. He never knows when to stop. Pushing boundaries was a trait that tended to run in his family and pretty much all of his brothers also had it.]

[idolpire]

[There was a quiet moment, one where Spike took the time to light up a cigarette, blowing a stream of smoke at the device.]

Perhaps you should count yourself lucky that's the case, mate. For now.

[ragnarsson]

If that ever changes, be sure to let me know. I could use a challenge.

[Famous last words? Perhaps. But Ivar would never know until he tried.]

[idolpire]

That so? Well, if it changes, I'll know who to hit up for a good time.
