Upon joining bakerstreet

[shinra_dog]

That's still on?

Can I at least be the one givin' the torture? Please?  Whaddaya mean "maybe?"

Bitch.

Better be nice t'your mun. They can do worse than what you're already complaining about.

[shinra_dog]

Tch. I dunno about that...

[john_mitchell]

What? You don't think they'll follow through on the torture?

And probably your worst nightmares.

[shinra_dog]

*sighs* Nah, man, that's the problem. I know real well she's gonna do it, no matter what I want.

Still, at least death ain't in the cards. Yet. *shudder*

[john_mitchell]

Oh, that's not always so bad either. Death doesn't always mean you're gone or that they can stop doing things with you - good or bad.

[shinra_dog]

*flat look* Did you jus' tell me that death ain't "so bad?"

It so doesn't even matter if I come back or not -- I mean, sure, ideally if I'm gonna die it won't be permanent. But undeniably, death includes dying. Kinda inseparable. An' dyin' ain't pleasant, no matter how ya cut it.

[john_mitchell]

True but I've lived with a ghost and I'm a vampire so you learn to get on with it.

[shinra_dog]

*simply stares for a moment*

Well. Sometimes I forget where I am. That's my bad, forgettin' this place is utterly fucked up.

*grumbles as he scratches his head, trying to think* A'right, I get it. Can't tell if yer tryna' cheer me up or just be an ass, but I get it. Doesn't mean I hafta' like it.

[john_mitchell]

Point is. You'll be alright. Probably.

[shinra_dog]

"Probably." *can't help but chuckle at the word choice* Yeah. I'll take those odds.

[john_mitchell]

Good man.

I'm Mitchell.

[shinra_dog]

*smirks slightly* Reno.

Maybe ya ain't so bad after all, Mitchell. For a vampire.

[john_mitchell]

I'll take that as a compliment.

You know many other vampires then?

[shinra_dog]

*smirk stays cocky* Nope.

I mean, some people say it about Vincent -- ya wouldn't know 'im -- but it ain't exactly the same.

[john_mitchell]

'Vampires' can be a flexible term. What we're thought to do and be can and has changed in popular culture throughout the ages.

[shinra_dog]

*thoughtful* Huh... well the guy hasn't aged since... *stops himself* Well, let's just call 'im a vampire. Now I know one.

We don't get along real well, though.

[john_mitchell]

Not aging is one sign.

So what are you? Human?

[shinra_dog]

Yeah. Dictionary definition, that's me. Well, except for whatever mighta' come from chemical exposure.

[john_mitchell]

What sort of chemicals?

[shinra_dog]

We call it Mako. Processed life essence straight from th' Planet, yo. Can use it as an energy source, or also t' manipulate some things in yer favor. Super soldier potential an' all that.

Though too much can poison ya.

I wasn't a test subject or nothin', but thinkin' about it, I've probably got a good share of it just bein' around the right places. Or wrong ones.

[john_mitchell]

So it makes you what? Stronger? In small doses.

[shinra_dog]

Yeah... Stronger, faster, jus' kinda heightens stuff.

Yer not gonna gimme an ethics lecture on human testin', are ya?

[john_mitchell]

No, no. Good for you if you're happy that way.

[shinra_dog]

*shrugs* Don't really think about it. I wasn't so bad off t' begin with.

Th' others learn t' appreciate it, sooner or later. But that's not my business.

[john_mitchell]

What's this about a sex game anyway?
