dear_mun | A bored vampire is a dangerous vampire.

[ Yes you are, Walter, because at over 500 years old, he's earned a good sulk. ]

Of course.

[ There's a tilt to his mouth that bodes ill indeed. Like he's about to switch targets from his mun to Walter. No good can come of this given where the vampire currently lives. ]

[Oh, he's not saying that the vampire hasn't rightly earned it. Walter would definitely be sulking himself if he were stuck in such an outright insulting situation.

It doesn't change the fact that the vampire is sulking, however.]

If you weren't sulking, you wouldn't have said there was nothing to be done about it. So unless you've changed your mind...

[It's a bait-- a challenge for the vampire to do something. He doesn't know where it will lead, but whereever it does, it's sure to be better than watching his partner be morose and listless.]

I can’t kill my mun.

[ Although he’d like to. So have a look Walter. ]

Unless you have an army that needs killing.

[Well, if the vampire is going to look at him like that, he's just going to pluck the cigarette from his lips and take a drag from it himself.]

I don't personally own one, no. But you can have your fill of Jerries in that one 'PSL'.

[Though there's a very, very strong possibility that they will end up enemies in that one. He doesn't bring that up, though.]

I might take a look around here and see if there aren't any hostile vampires worth killing.

Which vampires aren’t worth killing?

[ A smirk. Vampires besides himself of course. Arrogant much Alucard?]

Good point. I should have said "worth the hunt".

[Because there's still the possibility that he might not be allowed to kill one vampire or another, given mundanes and their particulars.]

A much smaller number.

[ He chuckles low with a barely there grin. The city has several undead, they’re just underwhelming for the most part. ]

So I've noticed. I take it things are no better where you've been placed.

[He takes another long drag, then holds it casually up to the vampire's lips as though he hadn't just stolen it without asking.]

Is there anyone in that place worth your time?

Define worth. [ His mouth arches at the corner. ] There are a few interesting individuals who might prove a challenge once our power are restored.

[He vaguely remembers his writer reading something about power restoration when poking around. Something about a catch.]

Wasn't there some sort of condition to that?

[ Walter, Walter - you really shouldn't have asked. See that smirk? See it? ]

You have to fuck the required number of individuals to gain status and regain your powers.

[ And he says it without batting an eyelash. Now all that's left is to see if Walter explodes or not. ]

[For the moment, Walter is surprisingly calm. He's still calm for two reasons: 1, he doesn't have to do it, and 2, he doesn't have to clean it up.

What the vampire does get in return for his obscene candor is a positively baleful stare.]

The required number of individuals? You're going to bang multiple people?

[The question enters unbidden into his mind: Just how many is birds ~~and/or blokes~~ is the vampire going to fuck?

No. No, he doesn't want to know.]

[ Alucard meets Walter's foreboding look with an unabashed grin. Then again who expected Alucard to be embarrassed? He's certainly done far worse in his life than screw around. ]

I think it's more the required number of encounters one has. It doesn't have to be multiple people. However most of them all too willingly to bend their necks and - with certain aspects of vampirism suppressed - why not take advantage.

[ It's one of the few positive facts of life in Ariel. ]

In fact the government seems keen on increasing our natural appetites.

[And then there is Walter, who will apparently still be a virgin even at 70, and whose brows are presently furrowing with repressed embarrassment.]

I don't suppose those certain supressed aspects of vampirism include the creation of ghouls?

[ Walter, he thinks you need to lighten up. Hah. ]

That would be correct, and I won't be consuming their souls.

[ Pity that. ]

[If Walter lightened up easily, he wouldn't be Walter. Come back when you have a few disemboweled Nazis and/or vampires and maybe he'll be more amenable to your roguish charm.]

Pity that the ones who deserve to have something bad happen to them manage to escape it.

[He's secretly hoping the vampire will at least leave the little tarts sore. Yes, he does feel a little vindictive towards the unnamed strangers. He certainly doesn't think highly of them.]

You sound far more put out about this than I expected.

[ Then again he'll never understand exactly how the human mind works.

He's certainly left a few sore necks among other things. ]

And what did you expect?

[Other than to possibly fluster him, the thought occurs. The vampire hasn't quite hit the right button to do that just yet. But he's in the general territory to do so.]

Not this level of anger. Distaste? Yes.

[ His fingers strum lightly on the arm of the chair. ]

You're not jealous are you?

[Jealous? Jealous?! The very insinuation that he might want to switch places and behave as less than a common whore is more than enough to tip Walter's temper over the edge.

With a violent twitch and the clutching of the butler's fists, the explosion the vampire was looking for in the first place finally erupts.]

What the Hell led you to that conclusion!!

Well your complete outrage at the suggestion for one thing.

[ He looks entirely amused right now. Cheek resting on two fingers as he watches. It's good to know he hasn't lost his touch. ]

[Hey. That's justifying your hunch with information produced after the fact. That's CHEATING.]

I only got angry AFTER you said it!!

[ And when does he ever play fair. ]

Yet there is some truth to it. You're still fuming.

[ Tap, tap goes his finger. ]

Should guess why?

[Never. This is why the butler blows up at him so often.]

No!! You'll just come up with some wild accusation out of the blue so you can rile me up even more!!

[ Oh he can do that anyway~

Like so: ]

I see. There's only one mystery here. Are you jealous of me or for me?

[ If he can't shoot up the city, he might as well have some fun. ]

Sleep well!

And I am awake!

Well hello!

Have you managed to recruit a Walter yet?

Not yet!

There seem to have been a few ones popping up lately. Maybe you'll get lucky.

Ahh we'll see!

No need to! I walked him into it knowing that sort of thing might happen.
