018 - These Are The Lives You'd Love To Lead - Video/Action

[worldofourown]

[There is a vampire leaning by The Raven's entrance. His posture is like a snake's. Nothing stirring but a glint in the eye and a flicking tongue-tip. All gathered bloodlust waiting for its moment.]

The next brat to sneak in, will be summarily tossed out.

In pieces. 

[A smile. Bright, and entirely without warmth.]

Don't try it. And keep your pitiful bribes to yourself.


[OOC: Grrr. Noisy whippersnappers! NO DRINKS FOR YOU! By which I mean, anyone's totally free to come waltzing in - and stir up trouble. Just keep in mind, Karl may toss you out. His fondness for eating teenage girls notwithstanding, he has work to do, after all! Replies will be sporadic, as my internet is being a bitch!]

[worldofourown]

I agree.

[Looking the ID over, Karl offers a bland professional smile.]

Welcome to The Raven, my dear.

[Get an 'A' in that Sex-Ed class!]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Totally worth what ne had to pay for it. And taking it back to pocket, would stick it down nir shirt but still flat chested...not worth it.]

Thanks.

[Not that ne can't take care of nemself, but seriously? This place is just a little weird even for nem, so just grabbing a drink at the bar and trying not to stare.]

[worldofourown]

[Not staring might be a good idea. The vampires at the bar love fresh meat :|b. All the same, Karl will be keeping an eye on the periphery from the balcony. He'll have no rampages on his watch.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Fresh meat...yeah and way over nir head at the moment. Ne's trying to ignore the pushy vamp sitting next to nem, but he's not really in the mood to accept no for an answer.]

[worldofourown]

[Sighhh. Not another troublemaker. He almost misses his time overseeing the boarding-school. Teenage girls weren't half this aggravating. And their teeth weren't as sharp.]

[In a blur, he's swept from the balcony toward the underlit expanse of the bar. His tone is polite, although his gaze, fixed on the mouthy vampire, is anything but.]

No problems here, I trust?

[sympathyforme]

[Seemed as good a time as any to walk in. He has a decent fake ID himself and - as opposed to Setsuna - he hasn't given away that he's not 21 yet when talking to Karl. The problem was Setsuna, so...]

Try sneaking in. I'll see about creating a distraction.

[And from the first glance inside, he's already gotten an idea how to go about that. So he walks in, ID at the ready should he need it, heading straight for the familiar redheaded slut.]

[beyourarmy]

Thanks, Senpai. [The kid keeps his voice fairly quiet, and takes the chance Kira offers, while Karl seems busy, to just slip on in. He knows he's going to get caught at some point, but the whole fun of this was getting in. After that, well.... He keeps an eye on Kira, at least.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[The other vampire just walks away mumbling about the fact that the girl was too thin anyway and probably tasted just as bad.

Turning to Karl, ne just smiles.]

Thanks, some guys just don't know how to accept rejection.

[worldofourown]

[Karl keeps his dark gaze fixed on the vampire until he's gone. Only then does he focus on the Hatter. He assumes she's cursed like a majority of the City today. Nonetheless, her ID is convincing enough. That's all he cares about.]

True. [Vampires, least of all.] Don't hesitate to inform me if you run into any further - issues. [Frankie won't be pleased if there's another attack on the human clients.]

[It's a fairly packed night. The thumping music and chattering voices only add to the overall cacophony. Nonetheless, Karl's senses are pinged by a certain - presence. Eyes narrowed, he glances around.]

[Someone new is in the bar tonight.]

[sympathyforme]

[He could avoid Karl, but instead he walks right up to him, showing his ID.]

Not a gay bar. I'm still disappointed.

[Also, for now, ignoring nir. What else is new?]

[beyourarmy]

[As long as Kira is there, Karl might miss the blond angel at the bar getting a drink. He wants to sit there, quietly drinking, for a change. This way he'll at least get to see what might be so special about this place. Why was that weird guy making such a big deal?]

[indecent_butterfly]

[And of course ne's agreeing, because why did ne come in here again? Oh yeah, the guy said no kids allowed...challenge accepted.

While he might be ignoring nem, there was no way ne could ignore that voice. Turning to face him ne smiles.]

Hi Kira.

[Sorry Karl, ignoring you now. Thanks and everything but go away.]

[worldofourown]

[He's distracted enough by the new aura that he's taken by surprise when Kira strides up to him. A human. In a vampire bar. Bold as brass. Have a raised eyebrow, Kira.]

Should you really be here?

[Noting how Hatter brightens up, the eyebrow rises higher.]

You two know each other?

[sympathyforme]

I'm old enough.

[Nodding toward his ID and not gracing Hatter with so much as a glance.]

She's her school's bicycle. Hard to avoid, much as I'd like to.

[Although he's already sensing that neither Karl nor the rest of the clientele are human.]

[beyourarmy]

[None of them, including that scrawny blond at the bar watching them all, carefully, from the corner of his eye while he downs a couple of shots. Careful, Kira, he's thinking. Sure, go right up to the weirdo bouncer. Real smart.]

[indecent_butterfly]

[Don't have to be so mean about it Kira, damn. Girl's got to have a hobby.

And if the silly guy throws her out because you just ratted her out, she's going to be so pissed. How'd you like a football team after your ass? Just going to sit here and pout for a moment, thank you very much.]

[worldofourown]

[Even as he focuses on Kira, his senses are alight, narrowing out the strange presence. It is familiar. And - not welcome here. He intends to find who it is. There's a reason he manages the bar so effectively, after all.]

[Outwardly, he offers Kira's ID a token glance.]

So you are. I suppose. [He's certain both Kira and Hatter have fake IDs. But he's not their moral guardian.]

[Also: School Bicycle?]

Kira. That's no way to speak to a - [Lady? Thing?] - Her.

[sympathyforme]

[He's mean about everything. The question his, how would you like a football team after his ass?]

Don't worry about it. She likes it.

[Followed by a not at all subtle gesture indicating that she is insane.]

Starting to see how your bar's scary, if your clientele is things like that.

[indecent_butterfly]

[Point. And she forgives him anyway. Also, as nice as that kind of was Karl...still ignoring you.]

Only from you.

[Just going around to latch on either way. Deal with it Kira.]

The one said something about eating and it didn't sound like he meant in a fun way.

[Pointedly ignoring the fact that she knows he meant her.]

[worldofourown]

[Watching Hatter latch on to Kira. And stifling a chortle. They do make a cute couple. Or a fittingly weird one, at any rate. At Hatter's remark, he smirks.]

There's a certain type of human clientele that comes to this bar. [The sort who were drawn to the 'glamour' of vampires. The sort who enjoyed being bitten.]

[Also: Kira. What a rude thing to say. 90% of the clientele are 'things like that'. And a majority are now glaring at you. Damn vampire-hearing.]

This is why children were told to keep away.

[sympathyforme]

[And after all this went down, Kira is headed right for that scrawny blond, grabbing him by the arm and pulling him toward the door.]

Let's go.

[beyourarmy]

[Setsuna's pretty tipsy Kira, be careful.]

Senpai...already? Wait! Let's hide in one of those rooms! [He sees doors off to the side, and it sounds like the best idea ever~! Right now, at least. he's already tugging at Kira's sleeve and headed right for one.]

[sympathyforme]

[Damn it, Setsuna! And now the way to the actual exit is blocked, so he doesn't have much choice but to follow Setsuna. Although he soon ends up being the one to tug him along instead.]

You're such a lightweight.

[beyourarmy]

[Setsuna chuckles to that, and allows him to be pulled along, clearly not standing steady on his feet.]

Lightweight? Normally you say I'm getting heavy and you're gonna cut off getting lunch for me.

[sympathyforme]

Two different things, Set-chan.

[Helping him stand upright, running from an angry vampire and having to listen to stupid logic. What is your life, Kira.]

In here.

[Opening that one door that leads to the room where they definitely aren't wanted. Closing the door behind them. Locking, too.]
