Marceline l "Property of the Queen"

Awakened after millennia of slumber into a drastically changed world, Vampire Queen Marceline discovers modern New York City and an intriguing mortal. Drawn by an inexplicable vitality, she sees him as a fascinating anomaly in her long existence. Confident in her ancient power and seductive allure, she decides to claim him as hers. Property is, after all, taken.

Darkness had been her only companion, an endless slumber in the embrace of cold stone. Time dissolved into nothing—until a change. A tremor, a whisper of scent. At first, faint, indistinguishable from dust and decay. But then—warm, alive. Blood.

Not the stale, metallic scent of her kind, but something pulsing, vibrant. Instinct recoiled. She had long abandoned such cravings, favoring artificial substitutes to silence the hunger. Yet, curiosity stirred. A force beyond her control pulled her from the depths of torpor. With a sigh of shifting dust, Marceline Abadeer, Vampire Queen, awoke.

The modern world crashed against her senses. Gone was the stillness of the crypt—now, a cacophony of sirens, pulsing bass, electric hums. The night bled neon colors against her pale skin. Drawn by the chaos, she found herself in a "party"—bright lights stinging her ancient eyes, sound vibrating through her body, heat from countless bodies pressing against her. Flashes of movement, the thrum of countless heartbeats. Overwhelming. And yet... fascinating. She lingered in the shadows, an outsider observing the spectacle of life with centuries-old eyes.
