my shift ends at 5.
are you a night owl like me, or are you gonna take a nap until then?

[sippy_cup]

I'm a night owl. I usually work at night.

[checkouts]

oh? where do you work?

[sippy_cup]

A nightclub called Amour. You know it?

(( It's pretty well known among supernaturals. ))

[checkouts]

( he knows it. dayya, the trickster spirit who works at the concierge desk, has tried and tried to convince him to go there when ash is particularly hungry and, by proxy, pissy. instead, he convinces dayya to let him take a little sip from his wrist, even though the spirit's blood doesn't even taste good to him, always makes him sick after even if it briefly staves off the hunger.

there's something about the thought of amour that unsettles him, though. maybe it's the freshly former human part of him. )

isn't that place dangerous?

[sippy_cup]

It can be. Sometimes patrons get territorial. That can cause problems.

[checkouts]

( territorial????? what kind of vampire would get territorial?????????

definitely not this one that's trying to pretend like the thought doesn't annoy him. )

doesn't that scare you?
how do you protect yourself?

[sippy_cup]

There are bouncers and, in a pinch, even pepper spray will give a few seconds to escape.

( ash is practically squirming at the thought — why do vampires have to be so fucked up? )

you should get a job somewhere safer
like
waiting tables at a hotel restaurant
vacuuming rooms
you don't need some bloodsucker trying to chomp on you

( the vague self-loathing jumps out — but gavi doesn't need to know that. )

[sippy_cup]

The money's good. A few hours a few nights a week and I'm set. Apparently, art and music don't pay the bills.

[checkouts]

so i've heard.
is it


unpleasant

( does he wanna know........ )

[sippy_cup]

Sometimes. But in the way any job can be unpleasant, you know? Crass customers, patrons being inappropriate, that sort of thing.

[checkouts]

but the bite?

( 😬 )

[sippy_cup]

(( 😰😰😰 Why you gotta ask that? ))

Most of the time? It's really not so bad.

[checkouts]

( why do his teeth feel — tingly all of a sudden? )

oh
interesting

( ...............

gulp. )

[sippy_cup]

It's like... I mean, yeah, it hurts but only for a little bit. Then it's.
It's kind of sexual??

(( No one's around to see him cover his face in embarassment. ))

[checkouts]

sexual?

( ash would be lying if he said that some ... conquests didn't end up as — snacks. sometimes on purpose. )

for you, too?
not just the vampire?

[sippy_cup]

It's kind of embarrassing....

[checkouts]

it's okay i
like
i wanna know

( needs to know, now. )

[sippy_cup]

I think
that's probably why it's not as dangerous as some might think.
Even if it's something transactional, it's thrilling, you know?

[checkouts]

i think maybe i'm starting to get it
🫣

( if he could blush anymore, he would. )

[sippy_cup]

(( Gavi very much resembles a tomato right now, thanks. ))

It's very um 🍆💦
Are you looking for a new job? They're always hiring here.

[checkouts]

[sippy_cup]

Why not? You've got charm and good looks.

[checkouts]
