Is it okay if I stalk you? [Backdated to Undeadfield]

[have_your_lives]

[Well, after being abducted, killed, and buried, Schuldig is unexpectedly - although is it really unexpected, in Mayfield? - back. Though he's looking a little...different. He's prowling around Mayfield in an outfit that would be called eccentric even by his standards, looking for a few specific people. Ema and Edward are at the top of the list, but if he sees Ken, the Major, or Black Mage around...of course, he may also run into other people on the streets, but it may take a bit of effort to redirect his attention to you when he has pressing business elsewhere.

He keeps obscuring his face with the cape that seems to have come with his new fashion statement, if only because he's decided it looks slightly less idiotic than the arms-out zombie shuffle. Whatever he is - and he's not thinking about that too hard right now, because he's somewhat hazily unsure on that point - he's no shambling, witless flesh-eater, and he refuses to act like one.]

[OOC NOTE: Schuldig will probably be using his telepathy - in particular his mind control abilities - to full effect in this post! Very much along the lines of a charming vampire hypnotizing scantily clad women. :D Please check out his permission posts here and here if you haven't already, and if you definitely do/don't want him to mind control your character into a bridal-style abduction(and he will do this to both men AND women; he's very equal opportunity that way), let me know!]

[Ema regards him with a raised eyebrow, not necessarily buying this whole elegant vampire act. That doesn't stop her from taking a step closer to him and taking his hand when he reaches out to her, however. There's something magnetic about him right now--she feels drawn to him in some strange way.

In the back of her mind, it occurs to her that he's likely influencing her mind to respond favorably to all of this.

However, she quickly deems it not worth fighting (further influence?). Instead, she smiles.] If you dying was what it took to turn you into a gentleman...

[She's teasing.]

[Schuldig is almost pleasantly surprised by how readily she comes to him. He's not having to fight her much, mentally or otherwise. It's possible his own threads of mind control are being influenced by the town, to render his strong-arm tactics into something more subtle, more compelling in the style of a B-movie vampire seducing a female victim. Or maybe there's actually a latent charm effect inherent in his current state.

Or maybe he and Ema are on slightly better terms than he'd allowed himself to think. Though, frankly, he considers this the least likely possibility.

No matter the cause, however, her snarky reply actually gets a laugh out of him.] Oh, have I never shown you the suit in my closet...?

[And with that, he begins leading her out of the house, toward the graveyard. Through the door, simply because it's hard to gracefully climb out a window while holding someone's hand.]

No, you haven't. I don't make it a habit to poke around in your private belongings...

[Ema doesn't resist when he starts leading her away--he has her hook, line, and sinker. However, she is aware of herself enough to ask a simple question.]

Where are we going?

[Another cackle. Interesting how easily they get along, with Mayfield's compulsions and Schuldig's telepathy smoothing the way...later, when he's more aware of just how much was induced rather than natural, Schuldig will be disgusted, but for now it's almost pleasant.] As if anyone does make a habit of it. But I meant while I've worn it, Ema.

[In response to her question, he simply grins.] You'll find out when we get there, won't you?
