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...

Permavideo

[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.

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.

Permavideo

[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.]

Permavideo

[doeswhathewants]

You will tell me that story, yes? With details?

[She has a chameleon. Loki just figures she likes scaly green things. There's a rimshot to that in his head.]

Always careful. Mostly.

Permavideo

[tangledintower]

Promise. I won't leave anything out.

[She's got poor people judging skills.]

Good. I'll see you soon.

[She's got to arm herself with her frying pan.]

[I'll get you, my pretty~]

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.

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

I know not to mess with vampires.

Will you be alright though?

video;

[doeswhathewants]

Assuming he does not rip out my entrails? I am not entirely sure.

[He's trying to speak quietly.]

I am only human, after all.

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Get out of there.

video;

[doeswhathewants]

[The biggest, most dramatic eyeroll ever] Trying. But he is following me.

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

What were those weird light things you had before?

video;

[doeswhathewants]

I am not entirely sure. They simply appeared.

[It's only a lie if he acknowledges it as a lie.]

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

You aren't a magic user?

video;

[doeswhathewants]

If I was, I would hardly be in this situation.

[A deep and abiding sigh.]

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Well, I don't know how well magic is against vampires so I figured I ask.

video;

[doeswhathewants]

Know any mercenaries for hire? On the spot?

[Holds his breath for a moment, then seems to be jogging.]

video;

[majorcrotchgrab]

Sadly, no.

video;

[doeswhathewants]

Just my luck. [But he is still alive, that's something.]

[errandry]

What the fuck—he's after you?
