Service Engine Soon [09 Dec 2006|01:51am]
“So... Why am I meeting you here again?”

It was a good question. Rhiannon stood in front of his car, one hand on her hip, the other one scratching absently at her shoulder. He had popped the hood, so mechanical malfunction was a likely culprit, especially considering his choice of automobile. Still... It wasn’t as if the brunette was a mechanic.

A thought occurred to her. “Don’t even think about asking me to push this into the next town. It‘s over a mile.” She put her boot on the fender and rocked the wheels against the asphalt. It was lucky she answered the phone; she spent a good four rings second-guessing herself.

"If I'm right," Whistler wiped his hands on an old rag that had seen better days, "the battery's dead and I need a jump-start. And before you ask, yes I called triple-A and they told me it was a five hour wait."

Still bent over the engine, he gave the spark plugs a twist. Just in case.

"But it's why there's a five hour wait," he mumbled into the carburetor. "The dispatch said people were complainin' that their cars were knocked out by an electromagnetic pulse. And while I'm inclined to believe the military is stupid enough to build an EMP bomb and test it in the flats around here, I just don't see it stretchin' from Clark County all the way north to White Pine."

Bare fingers grazed the engine block and Whistler yelped as the still-heated mechanical array singed his fingers. He reflexively stood and whacked his head against the hood. The thwang! echoed in his ears.

Rhiannon watched the comedy of errors unfold with her eyebrows up. “Christ. Get out from under there,” she shooed him until he was clear of the hood, “... now come here.” She edged a little closer and plucked his hat brim back. On her toes, she took a look at his crown. “Mm. No brain matter. You’ll live.” She tapped it back into place and went for jumper cables.

Dating and Other Bloodsports [09 Dec 2006|03:23pm]
[ mood | calm ]

"I've got my money riding on New Jersey," the burly man working behind the sports bar counter told Levi casually as he poured a drink for another customer. "They're goin' for the Cup this year, I just know it." His large moustache twitched when he spoke and his hands moved to pick up a wet rag before he moved it over the surface of the counter infront of him.

Levi took an uninterested gulp of the beer in his hand and turned his eyes to the television screen overtop the bar. New Jersey was getting absolutely annihilated by Buffalo. A cocky smirk flashed on the cop's face. "Whatever you say, man."

Levi didn't particularly care for hockey. He played football in high school like any guy did, and even briefly in his younger years entertained the idea that he wanted to play in college. Then again, greater opportunities had arisen, and Levi chose the one that came with the gun.

The particular establishment where he had chosen to spend his evening was having a slow period. The bar itself was decked out with strings of Christmas lights half assed strung over the walls, around pillars, and behind the bar counter. The jukebox in the back corner rambled out Tom Petty which was occasionally punctuated by the sound of the crack of billiard balls.

Not Enemies, Not Friends Either )

"If I wanted your money, I'd steal it," Levi told her with a smirk, then with a shrug which showed absolutely no qualms about taking, pocketed the money without another thought. "You probably stole this from me anyways."

He leaned back on the bench and put his hands behind his head as Grace stood up to leave. "Well, it's been a slice as always. I suppose i'll be seeing you around, probably at the Solstice party, no less. I'll be with my prom date, being a big dumb hero. If you're lucky, you might even catch me getting mushy. Just do me a favor and try not to laugh too hard, I'm already dying enough inside."

"Well, ya might even learn somethin' from her," the vampire replied without rancor, tucking her wallet out of sight again. "People'll surprise ya. Especially the quiet ones. Catch you on the downstroke, Levi."

She exited the bar and stepped out onto the sidewalk, glancing at her watch. A quick bite to eat, then she'd crash. At least she'd gotten to watch the end of the game.

Dancing With Death [09 Dec 2006|10:58pm]
[ mood | horny ]

Swiftly the tip of a pink tongue traced over parted lips just before Purity tipped her head back and swallowed the shot of tequila straight. The small glass was banged back onto the counter hard, sending a cheer up from the men standing beside her all swigging beers.

Purity never drank tequila, but tonight was different. After she had walked from the dance floor she saw some group of friends all doing shots of it. It looked fun, and fun was something the Witch liked a lot of. Smacking her lips she raised one fist into the air in triumph. "Yeah!"

Another cheer went up and she couldn't stop the laughter bubbling up her throat. Thankfully she had ordered herself a beer to wash the taste away with. The liquor certainly scorched, that was for sure. The bottle was brought up to her lips and she sipped leisurely. Turning to face the crowded dance floor as she gave her feet a rest for the moment.

Tristan was still wound tight as he entered the bar. It was a place he'd never been before, and that was more then fine with him. He ignored the rowdy crowd and strode up to the bar. "Bottle of Jack Daniel's and one glass," he told the bartender, throwing a hundred dollar bill on the counter. He unzipped his leather jacket as he moved to sit on a stool. He noticed the mirror behind the bar and how he cast no reflection. He stood up and waited for his bottle. Perhaps a table or booth would be better. He glanced around with a frown. It was very crowded this time of night.

Sighing, the vampire rubbed at his eyes. He hated being alone. Again.

The bottle of beer was forgotten as Purity heard a song she liked come on. Damn, the DJ was good tonight. With a wicked grin she practically bounced onto the dance floor by herself. Not that it mattered, once she started moving to the beat she easily selected a near by girl who didn't seem to mind.

Though her boyfriend did. What the hell, Purity crooked her finger at him as her hips rolled to the beat and her hands wove through the air as if she were born just to do this. The boyfriend stood behind his girl, his arms wrapping around her as he shot Purity a grin.

Too bad that what he was thinking would never happen.

The bottle of Jack and a glass was slid onto the bar for Tristan. He nodded his thanks and took up both. He found a dark table in a corner and sat down. His long legs sprawled out before him. Ignoring the glass, he opened the top of the bottle and took a long swig.

His eyes caressed the dance floor. The music reminded him of Ryan. His eyes narrowed further and he licked the corner of his mouth. He watched as a threesome at the edge of the dance floor seemed to tease and flirt with each other, their bodies moving in time with the music. Obviously the man and woman were together, but the third woman was not rejected. Even wanted, perhaps. Tristan took another swallow. "Must be nice," he muttered to himself.

As the song died down and the man leaned in to kiss his girlfriend Purity grinned and walked off the dance floor. Her rejected beer now lusted after to quench her thirst. On her way back to the bar the man sitting drinking straight from a bottle of Jack D caught her attention and pulled her over beside him.

Offering him a smile as her hand landed on the table lightly. "Cheer up, it might never happen." With that said she was gone again, sifting through the crowd as if she were made from smoke and retrieving her beer once again. Untouched as the bar tender had the decency to keep it behind the counter.

Purity kept her hand across her mouth and breathed in deep, letting it out slowly. Was it possible that she just got turned on watching a vampire kill and rape a girl she'd danced with earlier that night? That must make her one of the sickest people on earth. It didn't however, bother her in the slightest. Everyone was an animal, they all just forgot that. The witch looked up and caught Tristan’s gaze, her face tinged a deeper shade of pink briefly.


Tristan gave her a feral smile and then pulled the girl's body into his arms. "He'll come looking for her soon." Holding the girl's body, he walked over towards Purity. He had this weird thought as he looked at the witch. "Should I dispose of her, or...do you want her?"

Purity stepped back as the dead woman was offered to her, an amused look on her face. "She's not a plushie Tristan, I don't want her." Tilting her head to the side the witch grinned wickedly. "It's not like I can take her home as a decoration. That's too Norman Bates." Wow, old movie. Very fitting right now though.

Tristan chuckled. "Well, you are a witch. I just thought..." he shrugged and grinned. "Alright, I'll take care of it." He felt a ton better, and for some reason, sharing it with Purity, who had obviously enjoyed herself immensely, made it even better. "Maybe we can...have fun another time? Some night?"

"They tend to need to be alive if I were to use them for that." Human sacrifice, now there's a thought. Purity shook her head, letting out another breath. "You know, I think I'd really like that." Stuffing her hand in her pocket she quickly found a receipt, folding it in her palm as she said her number. It was then burned into the paper that she now handed over to Tristan. "Call me whenever."

Tristan took the number with one hand, the girl's body lying over his shoulder. "Thanks." He smiled and slipped the paper into his back pocket. He shifted the corpse and turned to leave. "I'd take off, if I was you. Don't want to be around when the boy toy comes out." He gave her one last smile before slipping into the deepest part of the night.
