Yet another seven day victim.

[deadmanbusiness]

[It seemed like an easy excursion. Find the Underground and then find the Raven. He'd invited Xhex to come along with him because she was bored and he was bored. Perhaps it wasn't the best of reasons to do anything, but it wasn't the worst of them.

The place seemed all right, really.

What he expected of a vampire bar.

However one wrong turn led him into a closet. Turning around he started to say not to close the door, when it shut and then didn't open.]

Well fuck.


[A short while later Theo opens up a video with a vaguely amused look on his face.]

So, I know there are jokes about keeping skeletons in your closets, but I didn't think that applied to necromancers.


((OOC: And of course Xhex will/might be threadjacking as she's stuck in there too.))
I'm stuck in here with some very pleasant company, but we're still stuck. Anyone one want to get us out before I think of more bad closet jokes?

[After several failed attempts at the door, and one failed attempt to dematerialize outside the room (which Theo did not know about), she'd finally given up.]

This place just keeps getting better.

[deadmanbusiness]

I know. This is ridiculous.

And even if I had my lock picks, we're on the wrong side of the door.

[worldofourown]

Trouble?

[ That closet looks familiar. Hmmm. ]

[nosympathy]

There shouldn't be any reason I can't just kick the damn thing in.

[She just takes a seat on the floor as best she can given the space.]

Haven't heard anything about the walls being lined in lead or anything have you?

[deadmanbusiness]

Yes.

And you can be helpful too!

We're stuck in one of the Raven's closets.

[deadmanbusiness]

[He sits down opposite of her, scrunching up.]

No, I haven't. I've never been here before and it's not a question I ever though to ask.

[Holy objects, yes. lined with lead, no.]

[worldofourown]

We?

[ My, my, Theo. Whatever are you upto? ]

[nosympathy]

[She doesn't typically talk to herself, but the next is quiet enough it should have been. Of course, being there he can hear her.]

Usually the only explanation for why I wouldn't be able to leave.

[nosympathy]

Yeah, we.

[worldofourown]

Oh. You're here too, Miss Xhex.

Theo's made fast friends, I see.

[ The kind of friends you sneak into closets with, hurhurhur. ]

[Amused Valentine is amused.]

Making it a habit to get into trouble or does it just follow you?

[deadmanbusiness]

Lead interferes with your abilities?

[It's not the craziest thing he's heard of, after all the fey can't handle iron, right?]

[deadmanbusiness]

Hah. Hah.

We took a wrong turn.

[worldofourown]

There's nothing to be shy about.

You aren't the first person to take a 'wrong turn' and get locked in the closet. [ It's a bar. It happens all the time. With or without closets. ]

Re: Video

[deadmanbusiness]

It follows me.

I am honestly a fucking damsel in distress sometimes.

[nosympathy]

Something like that. I should be able to dematerialize out of here, hard metals are the only thing that stops it.

[Damn. In for a penny...he's already shared after all.]

One of the reasons I wanted to see this place? I'm a vampire. But not like the Hollywood versions.

[nosympathy]

But we'd like to get out.

[worldofourown]

Bored already?

[ He's needling for idle amusement. But he's already on his way downstairs, keycard in hand. Man, it's like a college frat-house in here. With fangs. ]

[deadmanbusiness]

Jasper and Jake aren't that entertaining, I'm afraid.

[worldofourown]

Who is Jasper? And who is Jake?

...

Do I even want to know?

[ This better not be a penis innuendo. ]

Re: Video

[valentineluke]

Is that a hint for me to saddle up the white horse and hit 'play' for William Tell Overture?

[deadmanbusiness]

[AhHa! That was the funky feeling.]

You don't feel like any vampire I've met. Though I'm not sure I would use the term Hollywood vampire as there are some fairly decent vampire actors in Hollywood.

[That's probably not what she meant.]

[deadmanbusiness]

[An zombie rat sticks its face in the video feed. It rubs its paw against the screen as if trying to touch the face on the other side.]

That's Jasper.

[If they were, they are the strangest ones he's ever heard.]

Re: Video

[deadmanbusiness]

I don't know about a hint, but getting us out of here would be fantastic.

[nosympathy]

Not dead. No turning humans. That kind of thing.
