oh man here we go

[anti_ventrue]

Look, I think it's time we talked. Do you like having me around? You do? Well then, how about sending me someplace? It's pretty boring just doing nothing in here.

I'm not interested in hearing excuses about not knowing what games in Dreamwidth accept original characters; that's what research is for. You're disappointing me, Mundane, and that's not a good thing to do.

Let's do this: I give you some more time. Not much. Maybe ... thirty days. Find me a game by then -- you don't even have to have an app finished or sent in! -- or I begin collecting that time you owe me with interest.

Wonder if I can market that. Blood bars for vampires containing blood spiked with different kinds of alcohol and mild drugs. Marijuana, peyote, mushrooms. Things like that.

I should look into that. Could be a big market share in that stuff in cities with a large Kindred population.

[diana_abel]

Sounds expensive.

[anti_ventrue]

Bars usually are.

[diana_abel]

Especially bars frequented by Cainites. Which have a tendency to, you know, blow up.

[anti_ventrue]

And that's why I use Gangrel for bouncers over Brujah, typically. They have that whole animal senses thing going for them. I don't have to worry as much about someone planting plastic explosives or dynamite in my establishments.

But you raise a good point. I'll make sure to have it set up close to the Prince's 'court'. He blows me up, he risks damage to his own place and chosen people.

[diana_abel]

Clever. Here's your problem: Our "Prince" has his own bar. After Hours. Apparently, he used to run a similar place back in Louisiana.

[anti_ventrue]

I'll just have to do it better if I compete with the Prince. My specialty has usually been in manufacturing, but a business is a business.

[diana_abel]

You've got your fingers in all kinds of pies, don't you?

[anti_ventrue]

It's the best way. If something doesn't work out, there's always Plans B, C, D and E. And I like being prepared.

[diana_abel]

I can see that.

[anti_ventrue]

"A little preparation can prevent a lot of misery."

[diana_abel]

Why do you think I collect residuals?

[anti_ventrue]

Knew I liked you.

[diana_abel]

Well, I'm hot. Pretty lucid for a Malkavian. Loaded. Fantastically well connected. And I can recite Milton.

I think that makes me a Ventrue's wet dream.

[anti_ventrue]

That makes you most any guy's wet dream, period.

[diana_abel]

You'd think so. But I haven't had much luck on that front. Seeing as I'm currently dating two hunters.

Hello, rotten judgment.

[anti_ventrue]

I have no idea what it is about Hunters, but they certainly are appealing. I've dated two, myself.

[diana_abel]

Well, I told one of them what I was. He was surprisingly blase about the whole thing. Guess that's a good sign. Except, of course, for the fact that his brother doesn't seem to like me much...

[anti_ventrue]

...Their last name wouldn't be Winchester, would it?

[diana_abel]

...

How'd you know that?

[anti_ventrue]

I was dating the third Hunter in their group: Jo Harvelle.

[diana_abel]

Oh, wow. Weird. I know her. Well, I don't know her. But she runs a bar in Bete Noire. The guy I'm dating actually lives above it.

Nice place.

[anti_ventrue]

The other Hunter was actually a Hunter. Knew some about Cainites, though her group mostly dealt with Mages for some reason. Guess their team leader really had this mad on for them.

But damn, that is weird.

[diana_abel]

I'd say small world, but we're apparently dealing with multiple worlds here.

[A thoughtful pause.]

Anything I need to know about this Harvelle girl? Is she gonna be a problem?

[anti_ventrue]

The one I met viewed the Winchesters like brothers, not love interests, so as long as you're not biting them and leaving them in a ditch to catch flies, you should be fine.
