Drinks with a Vampire

[gravity_grrl]

[When she suggested drinks Roxy picked 'Deadshot' mostly because her friend June worked the bar and when you are randomly getting drinks with a stranger its always good to have a friend near by in case things go south. She also suggested it because it was one of the more interesting bars in the area, dark with an almost Escher art vibe to it.
She's seated on the left side in a booth towards the back, a short girl with close cropped hair and indigo eyes. She's wearing a black leather jacket over a tight black mini dress and knee high heeled boots who is feeling just a touch nervous that the guy she'd been texting won't show.]

Well if he doesn't I guess I'll just drink alone...

Not sure if woman riding dinosaur is more or less classy than wizard riding dragon- at least when we're talking about what's painted on the side of a van. Shag carpeting is definitely declassee, though. I'm not sure you want to think about the layers of crust you were laying on from previous.... conquests.

[Another sip of his beer, eyes flicking over her before he answered.]

Vampire. And no, I don't sleep or shag in a coffin. Not unless some goth wannabe drags me to her flat and she's got one of her own.

[gravity_grrl]

Considering how much of a loser he was and how bad he was at sex I'm pretty sure I was one of his only conquests, but I'm sure that shag carpeting was still full of crusty bong water spills.

[She smiles at him and makes a little waving off gesture.]

Don't worry, I'm not like that. I gave up the goth stuff when I dumped shitty boyfriend number four, he was so into all the Anne Rice crap that he insisted I wear fake fangs when I gave him a blowjob.

[Her eyes meet his and she raises an eyebrow.]

But I am curious, when you go all vampy do you get all sweaty and green and goblin like? I had an ex-boyfriend who turned like that right before he tried to kill me, although he might have been a demon? Or a demon vampire? Is that a thing?

[The only way people ever took it at face value was, well, to face it. So after his next sip, his face morphed into something a little less human.]

It is and it isn't. All vamps are demonic. It's that bit of demon that brings a dead body back to life, after all. It's like catching a bit of the evils before you die and then, if you're lucky and your sire's not a complete numpty that leaves you to fend for yourself topside, you make the transition and bam. New vampire in the world.

[And didn't he look so casual in his vampire chic.]

[gravity_grrl]

[When his face morphs into his full vampire look her eyes widen slightly, not out of fear but bright curiosity. She tilts her head slightly, looking at all the details.]

Huhn....well even like this you're way hotter than my ex was.

[She tips him a wink.]

So technically I just asked you two questions so it's your turn.

[idolpire]

That so? Well, good thing he's an ex.

[Meant she was freed up for other things. Fun things. That wink didn't exactly dissuade him.]

Right enough. So what's got you so blase about something that most people get all skittish about, mm? Can't be your first rodeo, but not with vamps. What else?

[gravity_grrl]

Oh total ex, like one of those 'omg why was I with him for so long' kinds of exes.

[She utters a small laugh and starts listing things off on her fingers.]

Far from my first rodeo. Uhhh let's see I've seen Hell, aliens, government testing stuff, other dimensions, creepy cults, aaaand even some giant giant kaiju type creatures.
When you do the whole superhero gig you get to see some pretty bizarre stuff.

[idolpire]

Superhero, huh? That might put us on opposite sides of the game, pet.

[He wasn't going to comment on his ex. He might have broken up with Dru (been dumped by her), but that didn't mean he didn't still sort of maybe kind of love her still. Somewhere inside. Maybe. Even the undead had feelings.]

[gravity_grrl]

[She shrugs and takes another sip of her drink.]

I'm not really in that line of work anymore, also I try hard not to have a 'black and white' view of people. The idea of good guys vs bad guys kind of falls apart when you've known people on both sides of the fence and learn the reasons why the way they are.

[Her eyes light up and she grins.]

My turn again! Since you're a vampire, what was your favorite decade that you lived through?
