I have noticed something very interesting happening to me quite often lately!! At Hogsmeade, the people at Honeydukes kept offering to sell me blood pops, and it is very nice that they try to sell me things and make money, I do not understand why they want to sell me such items?? I was just there to buy chocolate frogs and licorice wands and Also, just the other day, I was outside enjoying lovely sun and nice cool weather and someone offered umbrella to me? I do not need umbrella it is not raining? It was very sunny not single cloud in sky!

And then last night, one of my roommates made comment about how difficult it must be to brush my teeth and how they must be sensitive? Perhaps my gums were red or something? I do not understand but these have been happening more and more.

Does it mean anything, or am I simply paranoid?

Placeholder, if that's fine with you?

[di_intraining]

Just ignore them Vlad. It's nothing you need to worry about.

Absolutely!

[not_a_vampire]

No I just do not understand, it is very confusing! I mean it is very nice that everyone is being so nice to me but I do not understand strange ways in which it is shown??

Thanks!

[di_intraining]

Well, maybe they think you're a vampire. Wouldn't surprise me

[pomodoroo]

With skin as pale and sickly looking as yours, you need the sunlight!

[not_a_vampire]

My skin is not pale and sickly! You're the one who is the color of baked cookie!

[pomodoroo]

Hey baked cookies are fucking delicious okay!

[za_rodina]

Maybe it's a bit of both.

[not_a_vampire]

Both what?? Paranoia and something actually happening?

Ivan pls....

[za_rodina]

Yes, perhaps! It could be that they are making you paranoid and then because you are paranoid something will happen.

[deutschykins]

I think...people are mistaking you for a vampire...

[not_a_vampire]

That is very funny joke!! Everyone knows I am not vampire! Germans are very funny people!

[deutschykins]

No, I'm being quite serious. I've heard things...in the hallways.

[not_a_vampire]

Of people being kind? That would not be bad idea actually.

[lefilschanceux]

... You know, now that it's been brought up, people thinking you're a vampire does seem likely.

[not_a_vampire]

What? How could this be likely? I mean I know my teeth are slightly prominent but it is merely genetic trait very common where I come from!

[lefilschanceux]

I'm... Honestly, I don't know what the thought process is, but if they're giving you candy that tastes like blood, are trying to avoid you being on the sun too much, and are paying extra attention to your teeth... I wouldn't be surprised if they warned you about garlic in your food next.

[sugaredpotions]

Oh, no! The blood pops are really popular this time of year! It's close to Halloween, all the shops in England sell them. My own family's shop back in Liverpool makes a mint off them around this time of year. It's not actually blood in them, it's cherry! You don't have to worry.

The parasol? They probably just didn't want you to get a sunburn.

And if you're eating a lot of candy, your teeth get sensitive and they tend to bleed a little. That'll make them look red.

I learnt that one the hard way from my mum! She had to take me to a Healer to get my mouth looked at. That wasn't very fun at all, I couldn't have candy for a full week after that!

[not_a_vampire]

That makes lot of sense! I am prone to sunburn my skin is very sensitive! And I do eat much candy.

[sugaredpotions]

See? There's really nothing at all you need to worry about. It was all a string of rotten luck! I'm sure things are fine. Nobody thinks you're a vampire.

[opparate]

Why wouldn't you use an umbrella? Why would you want to get tan?

[not_a_vampire]

I was not trying to tan I had sweater on? I was just enjoying warm sun on cool day yes?

[marshall_lee]

People who think you look like a vampire must not have seen very many.

(OOC: He's incredibly amused over this entire thing.)

[not_a_vampire]

That is point of mine! Exactly point of mine!!
