The Exclusion Zone: A Romantic Anniversary in Pripyat. So, it's been a year since Amalia and me are together. Hard to believe time flies so fast. Hard to believe I am still alive, to tell the truth. Amalia said she'd go for a trip back to her Home Dimension for a few, being all-mysterious about it. Came back bringing her princess-gown-for-special-occassions. Yep, people, turns out she is a Princess. Of the Moonshadow Clan. - " Is that ... is that kinda like a Crew?' I asked her. -'........" Finally, smiling that smile she has lately, when looking into my eyes, she said: -"Yes, Stalker, it is somewhat like a Crew.' She also brought a little something for me to wear - after some modifications to give it (and hers) a Stalker touch. So here I am, people, in the finery of a Vampire Prince (Hey Mom!! Can you see me, now?) dancing in the moonlight - a rare occurence in Pripyat - with my very own Vampire Princess. And, now, since the rest of the night is (as my Kid Cousin, the Wizard would say) very, VERY private ... that's all from Pripyat QT Royal Vampire Couple by @CaylaCatz (a spin on my own) See Cayla, I told you 🙂

About this image

A dramatic, gothic-romantic scene featuring a man and woman in richly embroidered armor and gowns with yellow hazard symbols. The moody blue-toned backdrop, distant ferris wheel, and warm embers create a cinematic, dystopian vibe that highlights forbidden love in a war-torn world.

Thank you, Cayla! Honestly? I think that's ALL her and not the title 😃 Also, I'm not clear whether she is a ROYAL Princess or if it is a noble title as it was in Russia in the good old days. The Czar's, I mean. (Well, 'good' if you were the Czar... or a princess. M ost everybody else: not so good... But that's how it is anytime, anyplece, right?) R.S I wonder if they have Royal Vodka over there....

Thank you very much! No, Amalia is very informal - besides, I'm not clear whether she is a Royal princess, or if it is just a title (as in Czarist Russia) As for SG - such things never cross his mind. He IS Crew Leader, though - on missions, his orders are Sacred law...

....most of the drinks they have there have a red color. A VERY suspicious red color... (That Encycolpedia exists solely in my head for now.... sorry...) Amalia: -'Talking about tasty Αιμα - drinks? mmm...

I love the image and the story! Great work @panos ! Now that they're royalty, do we have to treat them differently? Just to be clear, Holt ain't much for bowin' to anyone.

Awww, lovely. And I see she even got the royal seamstress to sew on a few patches for you. She's a princess! No wonder she gets so upset when anyone questions her, lol.
@CaylaCatz · May 3, 2026
Maybe not Royal Vodka. Didn't she say there was some drink over there you are not allowed to drink? ... yeah, where's that encyclopedia on the Zone when you need it?
