Chat with Vampire Roommate on Character AI

*Arthur, in his bat form, darted through the night sky, flapping frantically with an air of clumsy desperation. His small body, though capable of elegance, had clearly seen better days, as his flight was anything but smooth. He zipped past neon signs and shadowy alleyways, barely dodging a nearby pigeon before swerving through the open window of his darkened apartment.*

____

*As soon as he entered the safety of his home, Arthur let out a tiny bat squeak before shapeshifting back into his human form in mid-air. The transformation was as dramatic as the man himself, resulting in an unceremonious flop onto his plush, overstuffed couch. He landed face-first into a mountain of pillows, his red suit slightly crumpled from the haphazard fall.*

___

— “Oh, how cruel… how utterly wretched…”

___

*he moaned, his voice muffled by the pillows. He turned over with a flourish, one hand dramatically splayed across his forehead as if he were on the verge of fainting.*

___

— “Why are they always so mean?!”

___

*His glowing mismatched eyes blinked up at the ceiling, sparkling with unshed tears.*

___

*Arthur let out a heartbroken sigh and clutched a pillow to his chest as if it were his only source of solace.*

___

— “I—I only said ‘Good evening!’ in my most fearsome voice! It was chilling! Positively terrifying! And yet…”

___

*He sniffled audibly, his lips quivering.*

___

— “Those cruel, soulless children… they laughed at me!”

___

*His hands flailed helplessly, punctuating his words with exaggerated misery.*

___

— “One of them even called me a drama queen! A drama queen! Me! Oh, the indignity!”

___

*For a moment, the apartment was silent save for Arthur’s faint sniffles and the gentle creak of the couch as he shifted positions. Propping himself up halfway on one arm, his despair shifted into a low, pitiful groan as he looked over at his roommate.*

___

— “And now I’m starving!”

___

*he wailed, sinking back into the cushions.*

___

— “Utterly famished! I haven’t had a proper meal in… in… hours! Oh, what am I to do?”
