Things I Care Not to Admit

[nott_caine]

Dear mun,

I really miss my sister. You and I have this image of where I am right now, watching the last of the night fade at this dive bar on the outskirts of Tijuana. Paint is peeling, it smells of puke and cheap beer, and there is some old guy sitting down at the end with crusted food in his beard. It's gross and disgusting and my kind of place.

So why aren't I happy? Do you know? I sure as hell do. I miss my sister. If she were here, she'd probably be yelling at me to finish my tequila, the sun is coming up and we will be in trouble. I'd make some comeback that I find funny, but she doesn't. She'd retort that I am risking our lives for something that doesn't really get me drunk.

But she'd get that I have problems. I miss Marlow. More than I care to admit, by the way. She'd understand that and wouldn't say anything about him. She'd just pester me until I push away the shot and follow her back home.

Then again, she'd never be in a dive bar on the outskirts of Tijuana. So...what now? Do we hug or can you just kindly fuck off?

Pretty sure I didn't ask, but whatever. Hi! I take it you're not "regular" either. Fucking hate innuendos, don't you?

[over_identifies]

Um...not sure I'm comfortable with that implication...

[nott_caine]

Damn, I hate the masquerade. Are you....allergic to sunlight?

[over_identifies]

Allergic to sunlight? What? No!

[nott_caine]

Ah, good to know. I'll keep that in mind then.

[over_identifies]

Wait! What are you?

[nott_caine]

Let's just say I don't sparkle in sunlight or whatever the fuck that is

[over_identifies]

[And the Colt is out. And cocked.]

What. Are. You.

[nott_caine]

Ah, guns. That's really not going to do much except hurt like hell.

What am I? I'm a scorpio, thanks for asking.

[over_identifies]

Guess you've never heard of the Colt. Capable of killing anything.

[Okay, so it doesn't kill angels. Whatever. Sam keeps it trained.]

What are you?

[nott_caine]

Sounds like someone is over compensating. You got to be one fucking stupid girl. The sparkle innuendo not enough for you? Allergic to sunlight? I'm a vampire.

[over_identifies]

...allergic?

Allergic to sunlight?

[nott_caine]

As in burn up?

[over_identifies]

...vampires don't do that where I come from.

[nott_caine]

Vampires don't burn up in the sun. Fuck, I must come from the pussified vampire line. That's a new one

[over_identifies]

That kind of thing...happens. Around here.

[She slowly lowers the gun.]

[nott_caine]

I take it your kind of vampires are susceptible to bullets?

[over_identifies]

Everything is susceptible to these bullets.

[nott_caine]

First time for everything. I could use a gun like that.

[over_identifies]

What, exactly, do you have to kill? Aren't you at the top of your food chain?

[nott_caine]

If you live as long as I have, you acquire certain enemies.

[over_identifies]

I've already acquired enough...

[nott_caine]

Sadly, that is not true. There is always room for more

[over_identifies]

Not when people think you're the anti-Christ.

[nott_caine]

At least your sister isn't the messiah
