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!]

Grumpy, huh?

[worldofourown]

Are you cursed too?

[beyourarmy]

Cursed...? What kind of curse are we talking about here?

[Yes, he is, Karl. But that doesn't change MUCH.]

[worldofourown]

[Siiiigh.]

Not again.

Who am I, Setsuna?

[beyourarmy]

How do you know my name? I'm bad at school, but not so bad some outsider should know me.

[worldofourown]

My name is Karl.

We know each other. But today you're unlikely to remember.

[beyourarmy]

Well...if you know me, you should let me in this place.

[worldofourown]

[Nuh-uh, Sets. A bar is a bar is a bar.]

No.

[beyourarmy]

[He's going to WHINE at you now, Karl.] Aw, come on! Why not?

[sympathyforme]

I don't think this will work very well with school kids. Unless you're going for reverse psychology.

[worldofourown]

[LMFAO SOB!]

Because the 'things' in here would traumatize you.

[valentineluke]

Except a deluge after 'exams' are over.

[worldofourown]

...

You're cursed too, Kira?

[worldofourown]

Said 'deluge' can expect to be tossed out, en masse.

[beyourarmy]

...what do you mean? What's in there?

[worldofourown]

Nothing meant for a child's eyes.

[He's trying to be The Responsible Adult here, Sets!]

[sympathyforme]

[He is, but he's the ultimate liar, so he doesn't even react to Karl knowing his name. But then, he's also cursed in ways that have nothing to do with the City.]

Why d'you ask?

[beyourarmy]

I'm not a child! I'm sixteen. [And a brat worthy of being ten.]

[worldofourown]

Because it's in the air today like a particularly foul plague.

[worldofourown]

Too young.

[Try harder!]

[beyourarmy]

But you know me. Shouldn't you at least try to spend some time with me?

[worldofourown]

Not while I'm working.

...

Shouldn't Kira be keeping an eye on you?

[beyourarmy]

...what kind of place is it you work at?

He's not my keeper. I can do other stuff. [Though now that Kira was mentioned, Setsuna shifts a little uncomfortably.]

[sympathyforme]

Sensitive, aren't you?

[worldofourown]

It's a bar.

[That's all you need to know.]

...Really? Past experiences would suggest otherwise.
