[Accidental Video]

[The camera clicks on to find Rip humming to her self and carving pumpkins in the kitchen of her apartment somewhere around sundown. There is a soft sound of 'pumpkaboo' from somewhere behind her device, cluing in just what kind of mischief one of her pokemon was getting into tonight. Apparently Pumpkin wanted to show off the apartment as it twisted around and well...

Rip apparently went a little overboard with the Halloween decorations. There were plastic bats hanging from the ceiling, skeleton's on the windows and various bat, pumpkin and ghost themed items strewn all around the apartment to celebrate the holiday. Most of them looked like something one would buy from the store. A few others though? Looked a little questionable.

Like the deer skull sitting on the coffee table with intricate designs carved into it. That thing looked like it just might be real.. or any of the other bone like items that might be strategically placed around the room. ]


Pumpkin? Vat are you doing.. Get over here und put zhat down.

[The camera pans back over to Rip who is standing at the table with a glass in hand. To anyone that didn't know what she was, it might look like a Bloody Mary drink. Well.... that wasn't too far off. She looks amused at her floating device and goes to take a drink just as the sun sets beyond the horizon and night falls.. No sooner is the drink in her mouth than she tenses and then rushes into the kitchen off screen. There's the sound of something being spit out quickly along with coughing and a bit of gagging.]

Vat zhe hell !? Zhat tasted fine a few minutes ago...

[ He smiles and clinks his glass against hers, taking a drink immediately after. ]

Only thing we can do is try t'be better goin' forward, yeah? I mean, if this sticks? Not much choice we get, right? No more do-overs... gotta do things right this time.

[ Her statement leads Cassidy's brow to furrow. ]

How many times have you died, exactly? I mean, if you're willin' t'talk about it, anyway. I can understand if it's a touchy subject, after all. Don't have t'tell me anythin' about it if y'don't want to say.

Her circumstances seemed curious, but he wasn't about to question them. After all, he'd fallen out of aeroplanes, been shot, stabbed, and pushed into rivers, so what was he to say was normal for a vampire? ]

Paahh.. They're only nightmares. Not much t'say when you're alive forever. But.. [ He paused with a thought he hadn't thought in nearly a century. ] Suppose this does stick? What then? Do we age? What if when we die, everythin' catches up to us?

[ Cassidy cranes his neck to look over her head of dark hair for any spontaneous greys. ]

Y'don't think that... that'd happen, right?

[ It really was no surprise that Rip had a rough life, considering she'd lived longer than he had. Not that this was a contest, of course, but he couldn't help but feel a little humbled. Despite whatever horrors one might commit in the waking hours, the ones that haunted the restful ones were always more terrifying. ]

Tragic, that. I'm sorry you've got rotten dreams t'deal with.. maybe enough alcohol, and y'won't have any. Seems t'be the way it goes.

[ Cassidy smiles and lets his glass clink against hers, throwing it back with practiced ease. ]

Well, if you're lucky, anyway. Who knows how any of this works? Will we pick up from where we left off? Or will our years catch up to us?

[ His rudementary inspection seems fruitless for now, so maybe it's not as much of a danger as he supposes. ]

No? And why's that, then?

[ Cassidy is perfectly willing to help her get to that state, though secretly if he's not sure what he'll do with her if she takes it too far. He's not even sure he understands the signs. But keeping her filled up with at least some amount of water should help... he hopes.

He can't help but smile when she throws back her whiskey without even a second thought. That was his kind of girl. ]


Namur sounds pretty important. Boyfriend? Brother? Other parental-sort of figure?

[ He doesn't have to wait long for his answer, as her desire to give this person a child says nearly everything Cassidy needs to know. He can't help the slight wince is face twists into. ]

Well, it is a tragic thing t'have happen... happens t'the best of us with this sort of affliction... But after such a life filled with pain, hardship, watchin' our loved ones die.. havin' t'be careful of the bloody time so we don't die?

Sometimes I wonder if it's not worth it on their end, y'know? Just... if the sun comes up and you're outside? Just...Pretty bloody easy, isn't it?

[ It's rather heartwarming to watch her features soften at the mention of their relationship. It must be very important, he figures, and it's nice to be reminded now and then that nice things do happen in the world now and then. ]

Well, with any luck, you won't have to start. Fuckin' misery, it is, watchin' someone who used to embody the whole idea of life and energy just... waste away to nothing... Wouldn't wish it on me worst enemy.

[ He sips at his drink, taking a moment to really savour the fact that he's actually feeling the heat from it in his belly and throat. However, when she mentions the possibility of coming back, that stops him dead and draws his brow to a tight knit ]

Hold on. You mean t'tell me that there's people dyin' and comin' back here? Like a bloody zombie? And you also mean t'tell me that no one's lookin' into that? Bloody mental, that's what it is! Why is no one freaking out about this!?

[ the whole concept of strange events happening without the population so much as batting an eye was absolutely absurd to Cassidy, and he was having quite the time trying to reconcile it in his mind. More absurd was how calmly and matter-of-factly Rip talked about world hopping, as if it was something that just happened. This was Cassidy's first trip , so the whole idea was still somewhat alarming and confusing. ]

Wait. So you mean t'tell me this isn't your first time comin' t'some strange world completely removed from your home? And you're all right with this?

Jaysus..

[ He threw back his drink. Clearly he wasn't drunk enough for this conversation. He was, however, sober enough to listen to her story. He frowned.]

I'm sorry.. Can't've been easy, that. Don't seem to have kept you from your gun, though... You all right, then?

[personal profile] bloodandwhiskey 2018-11-10 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
[ Now that was a concerning bit of information... Was there some reason she shouldn't be alive? Or maybe she really wasn't? Then, how many times had he had the very same said about him? And he'd never even world hopped before now! But, the idea that Rip was at peace with her mercurial life and the friends she'd made and experiences she'd apparently had along the way was something of a comfort for this greenhorn, and that thought turned his frown into something of a smile. ]

Might be a vampire thing. I don't usually scar, even if I've been in the sun. I mean, exception bein' me tattoos, I suppose. [ He lifted his heavily-inked hand, and where the cuff fell away from his skin, lines disappeared under his sleeve. Apparently there were quite a few. ] Though I think it's somehow different because it's not really scarring? Just injectin' ink. Kinda like a blood blister or somethin', but more fun.

[ "Death Scar" wasn't something that he was familiar with, and his brow knit once again. ]

We talkin'... like... someone killed you? Or... when you got turned?

[ Cassidy ordered himself up another drink as well. Who knew how long this was going to last? And like hell he was going to waste another minute of it sober.

He was happy to learn that even over all of the places that she had been, at least, thankfully, his ink would remain. He'd spent too much money on it for it to just vanish, after all, and some of them had some very personal meaning to them.

However, learning about her circumstances for her arrival to her first world... it didn't fill him with hope, exactly. After all, if she died before she arrived, then what did that say about him? For his friend Tulip, it made sense, considering she'd died and arrived before he had.. but he didn't remember anything of the sort, and even normally-fatal damage he usually had some consciousness during. Very odd. ]


Sorry for that. Could always get it tattooed over if it bothers you. Turn somethin' unpleasant into somethin' you actually want to look at, you know?

[personal profile] bloodandwhiskey 2018-11-10 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Cassidy winced. Not one he'd gotten to experience, but he'd gotten stabbed more than he'd like to admit. Part of being a vagabond in the 20th century, he supposed.

Still, now that his mind was on the track of tattoo design, he nodded, letting the wheels in his head turn. ]


Oh, I don't know about that. Could be some interestin' things to work with dependin' on what sort of design you like. I mean, [ He pulled at the collar of his shirt to show a dark shape inked into his chest. ] I got me a magpie here. Ladies seem t'have a better chance of gettin' away with things on their backs. Could be lots of things you could put there.. Don't necessarily have t'be one design all the way through unless that's what you're wantin'. That's got some opportunities, too, though.

[personal profile] bloodandwhiskey 2018-11-10 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
Well, not like there's much of a rush for it, is there? Only on you and what you're wantin' t'be lookin' at.

[ Hearing that she's got a tattoo is nice for him to hear. It's sweet, and he nods along. ]

That's real nice. It's good that y'managed to get one out that means a lot to ya. Once you have so many, some of them just stop havin' much meanin' and are just somethin' fun. Some do end up special, for sure, but them early ones're always the ones that mean the most. Cherish it.

[ When their drinks arrive, he lifts his up to her. He doesn't have a particular toast in mind, but it seems appropriate somehow. ]
bloodandwhiskey: (13.)

[personal profile] bloodandwhiskey 2018-11-16 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that sounds like somethin' that you two'll have to sort out. Nothin' wrong with puttin' some thought into it, even if arseholes like me really haven't. I mean, I've got a few that mean somethin', but others were just fun to get, d'ya know what I mean?

[ He laughed and took a drink from his glass. There were no words for how happy he was that the burn of the whiskey actually did anything. Happy didn't even begin to describe it. ]

So. That's what you're gonna do with your time as a mortal? Get tattoos and get yourself wasted? Can't say it's a bad idea, but what else is on your list, then, eh?
