Open: A girl's got her needs

[bloodthirsts]

Date & Time: 7th Sept, nighttime.
Location: General housing building and Unit 1006.
Characters: Seras Victoria + open
Summary: Seras is a vampire, vampires sleep in coffins. Seras tries to sneak a coffin in through the housing to her room; awkward questions and hilarity ensues. Your character is welcome to a) catch her in the halls or b) for roommates when she actually does manage to make it to 1006 :)
Warnings: None for now, will be edited if they come up.

[She's made it a week sleeping in a bed, or as later nights would attest, under it on the hard floor. It's been thirty years since Seras last slept in a bed, her Master had been quite insistent she use a coffin from the moment she first awoke as a vampire. In Siren's Port she'd had one, graciously given to her by Doctor Van Helsing, a rather beautiful and expensive creation - the man had been generous and kind to her indeed.

The one she's managed to procure now is not quite so nice, so expensive, but it is a coffin, comfortably lined and good enough to keep out all possible daylight when she sleeps. She probably could continue sleeping in a bed but it's just... not right anymore. She's used to coffins now, she likes them even.

So here she is, ready to try and get the thing up to her room with preferably no encounters with the other residents if she can manage it. She's waited until nightime and she's tried wrapping it up in a sheet but of course, when has she ever been that lucky?]

[ Okay, so maybe he's getting a late start. But dammit, he'd finally unlocked that final level on Arcane Terrors: XVIII, and like hell was he leaving the couch until he'd explored it. So it's nighttime by the time he starts out, and naturally, his timing is wonderful enough to catch sight of the very strange spectacle making its way down the hall toward him.

It doesn't take him long to recognize a coffin, even under the sheet, and it's even less time to pick out Seras as the bearer. He slows about ten feet off, hands pocketed and making a face. ]

What the fuck? Oh, Christ, not you too, that is so fucking creepy.

[bloodthirsts]

[Oh good, it's Jan, just the person she'd want to see her trying to sneak a coffin into the building at night.]

It's not! It's proper!

[Yes, go that route, Seras.]

Vampires sleep in coffins.

[liprings]

Yeah? You know what this vampire sleeps in? A goddamn bed.

[ You know, when it's not a ditch. Or a tree in the jungle. Or under a table. He wanders a few steps nearer, half expecting her to jump for his throat when he does. ]

Turns out the real thing or whatever is pretty fucked up. Me and Luke got off easy, looks like!

[bloodthirsts]

Well that's your prerogative, isn't it!

[She says it defensively, huffing but not lashing out at him -- yet. Seras sets the end of the coffin down on the ground with a thud, luckily it's sturdily made.]

For your information it's actually quite comfortable.

[liprings]

[ He almost jumps at that thud. Almost. But it's not at attack, just a plain old thud, and so he grins. ]

Yeah? How's it for fucking? Doesn't seem like enough room.

[bloodthirsts]

[Her expression is a wonderful mix of disgust and horror. Well done.]

... you are so disgusting. Who even asks that!

[liprings]

[ Aw yeah, successful gross-out. He's pleased, and it shows. ]

Never figured that one out, huh? Bet you I could do it.

[bloodthirsts]

[Oh God! Now you introduced that image -- no no no!

Seras has to screw her eyes shut for a second, trying to think of nice things like kittens and puppies to push it away.]

Will you go bother someone else with your rot, dear God.

[She'll just be walking by you now, Jan.]
