[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...

Re: [video]
Zo you're affected to. I'm glad I'm not zhe only one zhat's been turned human vhen everyone else seems to haf become monsters.
[Not that she minds. Rip's looking forward to tasting certain things again. Like Whiskey.]
Vhere are you at? I'll join you for a proper drink. It's been ages since I've been able to drink vithout hafting to add blood to it.
[video]
Wait.. waaiiit wait wait. What're y'sayin' about everyone else bein' monsters, now? Is that really true? Can't be... can it?
[ He looks around his vicinity and shrugs. ]
Dunno. Could have someone point me in the direction of a bar though... where's a good bar? That one we visited was nice. We should go there! Or somewhere new!
Re: [video]
[Hence the off camera spittake. Rip wasn't exactly thrilled with that.]
But, az far as I can see on zhe netvork.. yes. I guess ve vere already too monster enough to be zomething else~. Besides, it's nice to be human again.
[She takes a moment to think of bars...]
Meet me at zhe Hangar Queen in Genessia City. I like zhe atmosphere zhere und ve should probably avoid Everglade at night until zhis vheres off.
[video]
[ He laughs a little, but her explanation makes perfect sense. ]
Y'know what bein' human means, don't you?
Sunlight, Rip. Proper sunshine. I haven't been able t'enjoy a beach properly in near a fuckin' century. That don't excite you at all?
[ Her warnings about the Everglades at night put a concerned notch in his brow. ]
Y'think somethin'd be out t'hurt us?
Re: [video]
I know. I hafn't seen a proper sunrise or sunset in quite zometime und I plan on enjoying every zingle one until zhis ends.
[So YES that excites her more than he realizes.]
I don't haf to vear my suits or hide under an umbrella~. I am going to enjoy zhe sun as much as possible. You also realize, zhis means ve can eat proper food again~. I've missed zhe taste of cake und ice cream..Or really anyzhing solid.
[That part might excite her a little more than the sunlight.]
Zhe laws protect supernatural creatures, not so much zhe humans.. I vould be careful just to be safe.
[video]
We'll get ya a bloody buffet. But only if you share, now. Ooh and we'll get cocktails! Have you had brunch? That's a thing. It's stupid and I don't understand it, but if it lets me get boozed up before noon, I'm all about it.
[ The bit about supernatural creatures being more safely-guarded than humans was a bit concerning, but he planned on being passed out by nighttime anyway. ]
Re: [video]
Don't vorry, I'll share~. Zhis is something ve both can enjoy vhile it lasts.
[She laughs at the mention of brunch and cocktails. Why did she have a feeling he was going to spend most of his time as a human drunk off his ass? Not that she'd be any better if left to her own devices.]
I've heard of it, just never had zhe opportunity to try it. Right now a shot of vodka and a chaser of whiskey sounds like zhe perfect vay to celebrate our human status.
[video]
[ He's practically beaming at this point. ]
I couldn't agree more. Let's get pissed enough t'do somethin' stupid. I should introduce you to everclear. I think you'd like it.
Re: [video]
[Sorry, she's never heard of it.]
Once ve get to zhe bar, ve'll see just how much ve can handle. Zhen.. ve vill see vhere zhe night takes us.
[Meaning yes, they will probably do something stupid.]
[video]
Re: [video]
[Does that answer his question. Even if that sounded like a hangover in a bottle, Rip was up for anything.]
[video]
[ He smiles and laughs. ]
Meet y'at the bar, then?
: [video] -->Action
[She grins. He can just put up with it. Rip's very nature is one that shifts and tempts others.]
I'll be vaiting.
[Rip's definitely on her way out the door and making her way through the night to a certain bar. Hopefully, he didn't take too long to get there.]
[Action]
When he does finally show up, he looks a little sheepish and shrugs his shoulders. ]
Didn't keep y'waitin' too long, I hope. Least it's not that cold out?
Re: [Action]
Just long enough for me to get through my first drink. You're picking zhe next one.
no subject
[ He's a bit rude and sticks his face near her glass. Though his sense of smell definitely isn't as sharp as it used to be, the drink is strong enough to let him know she's not mucking about. ]
Smells good. How's it taste? Bet it's better than that coppery shite you're used to, eh?
no subject
[So yes, she's serious about drinking as she pulls her drink away from his nose. Rude, not that she blames him with her own senses being dull right now.]
It tastes vonderful und you're right. It's better zhan zhe coppery drinks I've been hafing for the last few decades.
no subject
[ He realises how rude he's being and laughs a little before ordering himself a drink and the two of them a set of shots. ]
Sorry. Can't hardly smell anythin', y'know? That part of it? Feels weird, like someone's jammed foam up me nostrils, like. I mean, it weren't superhero status or anythin', but it was a sight better than this. You handlin' it okay? Big change.
no subject
Understandable. I'm adjusting to loosing my own senses. Both zhe typical ones und zhe sixth sense of mine. It's like being blind again.
[She might just be reaching for the shot. It's loosing the last one that's hitting her harder than the others.]
no subject
Ooh! Hey! Hold your horses there, luv. I understand you're excited, but trust me, y'don't want t'be gettin' yourself sick, now! Remember, if you're human y'can die from this stuff. Proper alcohol poisoning, you know? Just... take it easy, all right? You're the first nice person I've met here. Can't afford losin' ya now.
no subject
Glad to know you care~. But, I grew up drinking beer stronger zhan zhe piss vater American's drink.
[The joys of Germany.]
Besides, if I get sick it's my own damn fault und I doubt I'll get alcohol poisoning zhat quickly.
no subject
[ Germany or not, he frowns about it. He's Irish, after all. He raises an eyebrow. ]
Sure, but if y'have too much it can actually kill ya, now. And y'might end up somewhere you're not sure of, or end up robbed or worse.
[ Sure, he's a debaucherous lech, but that doesn't mean he hasn't got a heart. ]
Just.. take it easy, yeah? At least a little between drinks? You're the first person outside me friend Tulip who's been real nice to me here. I'd hate t'see anythin' bad happen to ya.
no subject
Fine fine, A bit of time between drinks und I'll even drink vater to help. Besides, even drunk I can still break hands vithout my usual strength.
[She asked for a water from the bartender and started to sip it.]
Am I~? I zimply tend to look out for ozher vampires. In my experience, it's better to haf anozher of your kind around just in case. Ve tend to get ganged up a lot by people vho are judgy about zhe fact ve drink blood.
[Experience. She has it.]
no subject
Good, cos if there's one thing I've learned in my decades of partyin', it's that y'got t'look after them who can't party as hard as you can. And you? Your liver's not seasoned like mine is, luv.
[ He is relieved when he sees her order her water. She's the first person he's really talked to outside of Tulip since he arrived. He'd hate to see her die of alcohol poisoning on her first night mortal. ]
Well, now it's my turn t'look after you. Well, not without lettin' ya have a little fun first. But not too much fun, y'understand me, now? No passin' out now.
[ There is a little solace, however in that she considers him safe, and he smiles and orders himself up a whiskey. ]
And NO wanderin' out with strange individuals! Loads of nasty people about, and you're too sweet t'be gettin' hurt by any o'them.
no subject
Just because I hafn't been drinking az much az you haf over zhe decades doesn't mean I hafn't had my moments. I'm a military girl. Ve like to drink even vhen I vas alive.
[Some of the escapades that happened in the barracks, stayed in the barracks.]
Az I said, fine fine.. Haf it your vay. Ve'll pace it out und drink zhe night avay like responsible adults.
[There might be a little teasing there.]
You are one of the few people zhat vould apply 'sweet' to me. I'm anyzhing but vhen I'm in a mood und zhere are people out zhere zhat vould razher call me a monster.
