Hi. I’m Dre/Drea, depending on my mood. I like to dress up to go anywhere, and I have a passion for eye make up and random animated things. I’m a huge nerd, and make music. :)

- Eldergoth: Carl! Carl, over here where we can actually hear each other. CARL! /sigh Someone else say it because I'm not.
- Perky: Sir Lysander! Sit out on the porch with us!
- Eldergoth: Shit, Perky, I meant call him "Victorian"! Do you know how much of my work you've just undone? So how did your date with Ethereal go?
- Victorian: And a fine evening to you all. Not well, Elder. It was all the very most charming occasion until I bestowed upon her a most singularly splendid corset.
- Eldergoth: Uh oh.
- Victorian: Indeed. She threw it into a fire, and then went frolicking into the woods singing something about how I can't tether her. /sigh/ It just feels like we're too far apart.
- Eldergoth: Yeah, like three Centuries apart I would say.
- Victorian: Yeah, huh. How are you and PostPunker doing then? Well I hope?
- Eldergoth: Eh... /glances at Batcave/
- Batcave: /GLARES BACK/
- Eldergoth: No, no, that's all over. Poor Ian. The world has just gotten to him lately. He's been losing his sense of humour and I'm afraid our brief star-crossed affair might have pushed him over the edge.
- Batcave: Grrrrrrr!!
- Eldergoth: Oh shazbot! What is he doing here?! He said he would never come back! Hide me!
- Babybat: Shazbot?
- Eldergoth: What? I can have outside interests.
- Postpunker: Hello, Elder. Hiding in your little pet's GothHawk? You continue to disappoint me.
- Eldergoth: Here, Batsie, I found your bone barrette! Oh, Ian I didn't see you come in. Heh heh.
- Postpunker: Nice Cure shirt, Mallgoth. Disintegration, what a surprise. Don't tell me, Lovesong is your favourite?
- Perkybat: Well yes but, I have other albums by The Cure...
- Postpunker: Let me guess: a 'Best of'?
- Perky: No, I have Staring at the Sea.
- Postpunker: HA! Fucking Mallgoth. Go listen to My Chemical Romance and save us all a headache.
- Eldergoth: Stop it! Perky you are NOT posuer, even if you are cheery. Ian, Robert Smith wrote that song to Mary as a Wedding gift! I don't care how popular it is or who covered it, it's still precious.
- Perky: /takes deep breath/ Oh, thank you, Elder. <3
- Postpunker: You... you took that child's side against ME? How COULD you?
- Cybergoth: Sup, guys! You ok, Perky? Rivethead's inside getting the next round. Hey who is this guy? Someone's accountant? A computer programmer to work on the display that went out?
- Batcave: Reeheehee!
- Eldergoth: No, no, leave him alone! You don't understand what it like to be as old as we are-
- Victorian: Ah yes. Time marches on, wars change the the world map- redrawing it's borders in blood, languages evolve, women walk around in trousers like George Sand!
- Postpunker: Carl, if you're so committed being Victorian, why don't you live in a rat-infested apartment with 15 immigrants, work 60 hours a week at a factory, contract tuberculosis and DIE in a polluted gutter while someone throws their chamberpot out the window?!
- Eldergoth: Woa! Ian, pull yourself together! You're going over to the even-darker-than-usual side!
- Postpunker: NO! They should be wretched like me! They don't know anything! They're all poseurs!
- Cyber: He's out of control! Can't you stop him, Elder?
- Eldergoth: I'm afraid not. Like many PostPunk fans his only true love is music, and he knows... more-about... mu-muh-muuuuu-mus-
- Cyber: HE KNOWS MORE ABOUT MUSIC THAN YOU?! But, you're our last hope!
- Eldergoth: No. ::cough:: There is another. The pain of admitting someone knows, you know, has made me weak! ::cough/hack::
- Babybat: Well, who is it?!
- Eldergoth: There... /points inside/ she... HEAUHH!/faints/
- Postpunker: So you like Joy Division, Mallgoth #2? Let me guess, you just got have a "Love Will Tear Us Apart" tattoo?
- Babybat: /covers arm/
- Postpunker: Do you like Warsaw? Oh, never heard of them? What about New Order?
- Babybat: I like Blue Monday! But, what do they have to do with Joy Division?
- Postpunker: HA HA HA! Why don't you just listen to Brittany Spears?!
- Babybat: Ahhhh! /faints/
- Batcave: Grr! Ah-ahah arrrroooo! /runs away/
- Victorian: She said ::cough cough:: she's... getting the... EEEEEHHHHHHgggkkkk! /faints/
- Rivethead: /sigh/ Sometimes I fucking hate you guys.
