Lost (After the events of Night Patrol)
Dolemeck was about to walk back to Tyler's apartment when he stopped by the pet store. Since his talk with Vincent, he was thinking about buying a pet bird to keep around. But that would require talking to tyler first, as it was his place... and they were still looking for a larger place to live.

Still dressed in his uniform, he looked next to him to find a sobbing child. His eyes went wide as he looked around, not finding anyone who was responding to this child's cries. Getting down on his knee, he tried to talk and console the little boy who was sobbing.

"Are you okay, little one?" He asked in his accented voice. "Where is your Mum? Did she come with you to the pet store?"

"I lost my Mommyyyyy!" The child sobbed more. "I don't know what a mum is, but I lost my Mommy!"

This was going to be a long day.

He turned his attention back to the pet store window, looking back at it with a sigh.

"No matter what I do, Bram. No matter how kind of a man I can be, I will always be seen as a monster. The hard thing is that I know I do not wish to be one, but part of me is and always will be one." He sighed, then forced a smile on his face as he looked over at Bram. "Enough talk of such nonsense. Would you like to go do something? My treat!"

	"Actually I was going to do some training," Bram explains, "Was on my way back to my flat when I ran into you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh... w-well..." Dolemeck looked somewhat disappointed in this, but understood. After the Tryk attack, it was probably best to stay to a strict training regimen. "I understand. I do not wish to keep you, Bram." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thanks," Bram says with a grin, "But maybe later we can do something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That sounds nice, actually." He offered another faint smile. "Just give me a call whenever you wish to do something later. Just do not next me. I still am unable to figure out how to text back!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sure thing mate," Bram says, "You sound like some elderly people I know with technology problems." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I AM elderly." Dolemeck gave off a pained sigh. "I am almost over a thousand and a half years old, Bram! Even my Mum and Dad could not help me figure out modern technology, and they work for a foundation that provides it!"

He then rubbed the back of his neck, having to admit something else to Bram. "Tyler has also banned me from the internet, saying it is not something for my eyes."

	"Elderly isn't an excuse though my grandpa used to explain the internet to people my age back before he pasted," Bram explains. Gramps really like to stay ahead of the curve with technology. "Did he say why he thought that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He said there are some things I should not see on there. I tend to believe him on that aspect." He admitted, tapping his two index fingers together. "I may have been a Knight long ago, but I am somewhat naive and helpless in this new era. Innocent, even." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Whatever you think is best mate," Bram says. "You sure that fighting monsters is right for you. Naive and helpless don't usually last long in this world." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Lancelot told me the same thing when I went from being a squire to a Knight." He cracked a small smile as he remembered that. "I do myself a disservice if I do not do some good in this world. Second chances in life are a rarity, and I will adapt, somehow. As I have adapted to not shadowporting all over the place." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"There are other ways to do good for the world," Bram points out. "Still a noble goal for yourself." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Are you concerned about me fighting by your side again? Is that why you asked if fighting monsters is right for me?" He asked with some curiosity in his voice. "And how else could I do good?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	harkerlegacy 2013-10-02 11:03 pm UTC (link)
	"No just want to make sure your hearts really in this. This fight can get really dark and definitely isn't for everyone." Bram shrugs. "There's all kind of ways I would think. Look at doctors and the cops. But I'm not really sure what you should do. That really is up to you to figure out isn't it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"As I said before, I know I will always be a monster, Bram. The least I can do is take down monsters far worse than I am or ever could be." His hands went behind his back as he spoke. "Besides, could you see me as a doctor or a copper? I do not even have an education in this era beyond a sixth grade level, or so I heard when I was at home." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"True but someone who calls them-self naive and helpless should really think things through if they want to make their life about fighting monsters. Because that type of thing will get you killed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will think on it more, Bram. Despite knowing this is what I want, you are right. I need to think about things more." He relented, shaking his head. "I just... I need to adapt better to this world. Or at least not drive Tyler bonkers!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Best advice I can give you there is to just jump into it," Bram says, "You'll either sink or swim. But either way you should learn how to adapt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I actually have signed up to attend night school at the local community college. I figured getting a GED would help me be more informed about this era and this country." He continued to speak somewhat softly. "I have not told Tyler yet, or really anymore. You are the first to know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	harkerlegacy 2013-10-04 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	"That's definitely a good start," Bram says, "I hope that works out well for you." "More school is nothing to be ashamed of. But I won't tell anyone else till you're ready." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh I am not ashamed. I just want it to be a surprise." He smiled wide. "I hope it works out for me as well. I think my adoptive parents would be proud about me making such a choice. Though they may question my other choices I have made." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well I still won't tell anyone then," Bram says, "I don't think my mum would have approved of my hunting monsters. But you've got to do what you think is right." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"My birth mum would be furious I had sex out of wedlock." Dolemeck grinned. "The monster hunting she would see as honorable. As for my adopted Mum, the only thing that disappoints her is that I am not in love with someone, yet. She's a bit... odd."

"My Adopted Father, however... he fears I could become "corrupted" and a threat to the world. It was his idea that I stay back at home with them at all times. But it was not much of a life."
