Second Prank- All the better to...

[doeswhathewants]

[Cold green light illuminates the dark room, camera focusing on the Serrure's face. His skin is pale and too much blood is drying at one side of his throat, staining the neck and shoulder of his hoodie a rusty brown. In the strange light, his green eyes appear to almost glow.]

Hello there. Serrure here again.

[His voice is rough, as though his throat is dry. He is far more calm than he ought to be for all the banging that is going on somewhere off camera.]

Has anyone lost a vampire recently? Answers to the name Karl? Very bitey?

I appear to have found him. If he is yours, please collect him at the haunted warehouse in the Underground.

[The camera flashes up and over to walls and a door covered in scrolling runes that shed that cold green light, as though made from the light itself.]

Not sure what those are or how long they will hold. [The camera pans back to Serrure as a sharp crack sounds.] Not long, apparently. Help?

[OOC: Backdated to the 10th.]

Karl? Oh, no, what did he do...

[She's going to SCREAM at him. He can't just go around BITING PEOPLE.]

Are you okay? Hold on, I'll be right down...

[doeswhathewants]

NO! [He's breathing hard and it's dark around him, but he lowers his voice.]

He's dangerous. I'm okay, just... don't come down here, I'm certain I cannot look after you and myself.

[tangledintower]

But you're hurt, you need help, and I need to yell at him! I know he's not exactly the most stable person in the world, but he and I are...I don't know, friends? Sort of? I don't know, but I need to yell at him.

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

....[Just the longest pause] You are friends with that? You have met him? In person?

[On the other hand, that makes sense, she is rather nice and pretty and those evil sorts always go for those types.] Just- look, just don't come to the Underground okay? I'll meet you at the entrance. I'm sure I can make it that far.

[tangledintower]

...yeah. It's a long, really weird story.

[She knows she shouldn't trust him, but she can't help it, okay?]

...all right. Just be careful.

[Karl, you are SO DEAD.]

[I'll get you, my pretty~]

[majorcrotchgrab]

He bit you?

[doeswhathewants]

Yes, he bit me! .... I've not been infected with some horrible disease, have I?

[Wait.] You know him? Then come and collect him!

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Get it checked out at the hospital. I'm fairly certain vampire bites cause you to turn.

[Raikov wrinkles his nose]

I know him but there's no way in hell I'm coming to get him.

[doeswhathewants]

Oh. That is simply not on the list of things I want out of life. Stuck at thirteen. No. I refuse.

[He's obviously running on and off, ducking into places, hiding.]

Afraid of him, hm? I sympathize.

[majorcrotchgrab]

I know not to mess with vampires.

Will you be alright though?

[errandry]

What the fuck—he's after you?

[doeswhathewants]

Yes! [He's breathing a bit hard now, pausing in his running to hide again.]

He bit me already- I- he's chasing me. I think he wants to kill me. Slowly. And I only just got here today so I've no idea where I am.

[errandry]

Does he know you or something? How'd you—shit. [ pausing, pausing. ] Which one's the haunted warehouse?

[doeswhathewants]

No, I've not met him before today. [A pause.]

Ah. I had been hoping the haunted warehouse was commonly known. Between the arena and the black market, near I can guess.

[errandry]

I'll figure it out. Is it actually haunted, is there anything in there you can call on?

[godofabs]

Are you hurt?

[doeswhathewants]

He bit me! I might be turning into a vampire this very moment. Or a ghoul. Thought I was a goner for sure.

[He's a little out of breath from running, but his hand goes to his neck where the blood is drying, starting to itch.]

Seems okay now. So long ash e does not catch up.

[godofabs]

Wait, wait, where are you? I shall come find you.

[doeswhathewants]

I am in the Underground. Near the black market. You did take note of the part where I said vampire, yes? Pointy teeth? Unquenchable lust for blood?

[godofabs]

I do not fear this creature, worry not. I will see that you are taken to proper care.

[flensing]

You must get away from him.

[He stalks her too 8(]

Please come back above ground.

video;

[doeswhathewants]

I know, I know, he bit me once already. I think this time he intends to rip my tongue out.

[They should form a support group.]

That is what I am trying only, I do not know how to get there exactly.

video;

[flensing]

[S-s-scream. Karl... They really really should.]

I... I can come to find you.

video;

[doeswhathewants]

I would only push you at him and run.

[Hey, at least he's honest.]

Just kidding. There are some people on their way... I ... think is should be okay.
