Post Nightstalkers forming

Rita had been having a very long week. Things hadn't improved when a vampire she had been tracking had gotten away. She had tried every trick she had learned only to come up short. It left her frequently feeling frustrated since she really wanted that vampire taken out. He was a nasty piece of work.

Finally she gave up because she knew she couldn't find him on her own. So that was why she decided she'd call Tyler since he was an experienced vampire hunter. So she grabbed her cell phone out of her jacket and decided to give Tyler a call. Maybe he had an idea when it came to tracking down a vampire in a city as big as Seattle when it seemed like the creature had gone to ground.

	"Yeah," she agrees. "Need me to drop you off somewhere?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nah, I'm good." He hesitates a moment before asking, "Want some company home?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-05 03:58 pm UTC (link)
	"Sure," she agrees after a moment. "I think I have beer?" It seems like the thing to offer. And she's feeling wired after that fight. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah. I don't drink much. I just sometimes need it to help not be so wired," she admits. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-05 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	He nods. "I know exactly what you mean. Plus sometimes I just want to forget..well, whatever goes on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-05 05:09 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled faintly. "Yeah. We all have things we'd like to forget." Then she nods to him. "Come on. I don't think we need to stand around out here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Good idea." He heads in the direction of the bike. He stops briefly to say. "Truly nice work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-05 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	She's trying to not perk up too much under the compliment. "Thanks." She checks her bike over, it seems to be a habit of hers. There's still nothing wrong with it. She's lucky that it's okay still she thinks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He eyes it himself. "I'm no expert, but looks like those chop shop guys didn't have a chance to really look it over." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"She's running fine. I just fuss a bit. My bike is just kind of important to me. Can't explain it." She hated that vampire accusing her of being materialistic. It was so far from who she is and may have just been said to piss her off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-05 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	He smiles. "We all have things like that. Something important, but we really don't understand why. Don't sweat it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-05 05:47 pm UTC (link)
	He was seriously a heck of a lot easier to talk to than she would have guessed. "Right." She adjusts her bike and starts it up, expecting Tyler will get on behind her so they can head back to her place. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-05 06:23 pm UTC (link)
	He does so, quietly and companionably. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	They get back to her apartment building without much fuss. She parks the bike where it won't get towed or hit by another vehical and rolls her shoulders lazily as she starts for the front door of the building. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-05 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	He follows behind, keeping a wary eye out. Yes there were at her apartment, but it was a habit. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-05 06:59 pm UTC (link)
	She was confident that this was a safe place. Of course she would have to admit her place isn't very clean looking. There's books all over the place. Lots of charts with odd looking notations all over them dominate one wall. And then there's her work station where she makes her little toys. It's not exactly hidden. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Tyler doesn't comment on the state of the apartment, she had mentioned before the bulk of her funds went into her research. Didn't mean hew as particularly happy about it though. "That where you make your weapons?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yes," she puts her bag on a stool next to the bench and makes her way into the kitchen.

"Of course.... I might need to move. People are starting to take notice of the weird smells my materials give off sometimes. Think they think I'm an addict." She pulls out two beers from the bowls of her refrigerator.

"I found a bible and a self=-help leaflet at my door last week," she admits with a faint shrug. "Guess it could've been worse."

	"Eesh. We need to get the team together to come up with a proper headquarters then. Last thing you need is cops showing up at the door." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Or at least a better place for me to work," she allows. "I don't mind living in a small place like this. I just need a work area." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Well, as long as you're not too uncomfortable." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2012-02-06 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	She shrugs a little. "I can't say that I'm uncomfortable. I got used to cramped quarters... Just wish the shower had more than a fifty-fifty chance of having hot water. That's my only real complaint." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	living_dhampir 2012-02-06 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	And now he had to keep from thinking of Rita in the shower. "..true." For once he was grateful for his pale complexion, visible blushing was near-impossible to see on him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She just passes Tyler a beer. She has no idea she may have accidentally embarrassed him. She's not the sort of person to make that kind of mental connection. "Here you go." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
