So: drinks.

Free tomorrow night? Say around 9PM?

[desmodusdraculae]

[Oh god it's really happening keep cool Kirk.]

I'm free.

[youresovein]

Splendid. Any dietary restrictions?

[desmodusdraculae]

Beyond the obvious?

No.

[youresovein]

The obvious being human blood?

You wouldn't believe how many squeamish vampires I've met.

[desmodusdraculae]

I can and have consumed animals.

Sometimes those animals looked surprisingly human.

[youresovein]

Now that, my friend, is sheer poetry.

[desmodusdraculae]

Where are we going to meet?

[youresovein]

Any favorite skyscrapers? Moody bridges? Dark alleys?

[desmodusdraculae]

[Wait are those actual typical vampire hangouts? Is he being punked?]

You're messing with me.

[youresovein]

Am I?

[desmodusdraculae]

Fine.

[He picks the tallest building in De Chima.]

I'll meet you on the gargoyle.

[Either he's calling Lestat's bluff or making a fool of himself, he honestly isn't sure which.]

[youresovein]

Then it's a date.

You fre--

[after a few unsent text, he settled on:]

Hey, you busy tonight?

[desmodusdraculae]

I'm free.

[What are "plans?"]

Did you have something in mind or...?

[the_horror]

["plans" are for normal people...]

no. bad day. i just need out of the house. Nothing's exploded lately. We could fix that? idk

[desmodusdraculae]

[Ah.]

What do you do to get your mind off things?

[the_horror]

Generally something dumb and reckless, but i recently made a promise that I'd be less dumb and less reckless. Which puts a damper on the general 'crime fighting' gig I was doing.

[desmodusdraculae]

With what you can do? I doubt you were THAT reckless.

[the_horror]

Well congrats. You'd be one of the few to think that. Everyone else seems to think I'm just going to end up dead again.

[desmodusdraculae]

Do you have a costume of some kind?

[the_horror]

Costume? I haven't worn a costume since I was a kid. We used to have matching suits and domino masks back then...

[desmodusdraculae]

If you think I'm going to judge you, I wear giant bat ears and Bekka wore a white bustier with pants.

Get whatever you do wear out on and meet me in Maurtia Falls.

Let's do something dumb.

[the_horror]

Okay but do the bat ears DO anything for you, or are they just for show, Batman? Not that I'm judging. I think it's kind of cool. better than a school uniform.

But, dumb sounds good, and Maurtia Falls is full of dumb.

[desmodusdraculae]

They're for show. Hernan thought they cut an intimidating shadow.

The wings, they're practical.

Lucky for you, I know just the hornet's nest to poke.
