[ sae your clothing link is broken! imgur...

ah, the joy of a blood planet. is the drink blood or not, play the roulette. shu was planning on just wandering by, but there's an intensity that suggest he really should not walk on by without so much as a yeehaw acknowledgement. ]

Yeah...? [ h-hm. ] Trying out the local stuff now we've got more options?

[murdergate]

[ boooo. i put it in my plurk if that works. if not, i will fight god. ]

Why not? It tastes fruity in the way that means it might have too much liquor in it, not fruity like it could cover--you know.

[ tilts cocktail glass at shu. ]

If you want to try.

[roseoftexas]

[ it does, i approve of the purple. ]

Aside from expecting there’s some extra iron in there one way or another?

[ well. ]

I’ll take your word for it. What’s it called? [ because he looks like he’s willing to order his own, at least. ]

[murdergate]

[ yeah see it's easy to go red and black on vamplanet but what if you're trying to attract others through plumage like an exotic bird? ]

Sanguine Sangria--vegetarian version. They have separate menus.

[ no fun allowed!! ]

[roseoftexas]

[ the middle ground to stand out. a good plan. ]

... Vegetarian. [ that gets a laugh out of him. ]

Clever.

[murdergate]

[ another sip. should he apologize for letting shu get destroyed by the showers the other day while he hit the button safely?

will he? ]

Well, if you don't want to share, get a drink and sit.

[ jury out.]

[roseoftexas]

[ it's funnier if there are never any apologies.


after a moment, he'll order something from behind the counter -- but whatever it is comes in a sealed bottle rather than a cocktail glass. ]

It seems just like any other kind of bar, if you ignore the blood options.

[murdergate]

[ that's what nodd's thinking. ]

Sure is. I've been here for a while, doing some crowd watching. Only things different are the menu and the reasons why some people are leaving together.

[roseoftexas]

Blood sharing instead of the usual reasons?

[ whatever floats the general population’s boat. ]

These places are pretty good for getting a feel for the area, and what’s going on at least.

[murdergate]

Mmmhmm.

[ a tone that implies maybe he would play along if approached. ]

You're one of the earth people, right? Is this like an earth city at all?

[roseoftexas]

[ nodd on saturday like "don't mind the many, many marks i have from generous blood donating (winkwinkwink)" ]

I'm-- [ one of the earth people ]-- yeah I've been told there are a lot of people from different versions of where I'm from. It's like a normal city, minus the weird darkness and the blood stuff.

[murdergate]

[ an eeple, if you will. ]

Down to the technology level? Or is that more advanced?

[ nosy nosy. ]

Have you seen the cliffs, yet?

[roseoftexas]

Technology seems about what I’d expect? Minus the… needle teeth. Concept’s like the needles they use for blood draws at the hospital, but more advanced there. We don’t hook them up to people’s teeth for feeding purposes.

[ blinks. ]

I haven’t yet, no. Anything special about them?

[murdergate]

[ see, this is what the profiles don't tell you. this tech doesn't shock shu. that's good to know! ]

Not that I can tell. Just an interesting spot. Being on the ship so much, any land formation has me clicking my heels.

[roseoftexas]

[ the level of tech option: all knowledge to what's a computer. ]

It's nice to not be stuck on the ship for a few days, even if it is this ... weird blood planet.

[murdergate]

There's a certain charm.

[ this is said before said blood planet leads to a great amount of their comrades ass-kicked and de-armed. ]

Ah, there we go. See.

[ leaning over to not-so-subtly indicate where, across the way, a vampo ha approached a pair of far less pale tourists. ]
