The Perk, Monday Evening

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

Allie had a thick, paperback copy of The Complete Works of Shakespeare, a collection of Cliffs Notes, and a large, steaming, but untouched cup of coffee.

Someone had a skewed idea of what constituted a fun way to spend the evening.

That...wasn't quite what Allie had been expecting. Her automatic dislike for rabids, no matter what they were called, almost had her saying no. But the demon inside, the monster that hunted and yearned for prey that she'd mostly suppressed and ignored since she'd been in Fandom chose that moment to rear its head.

"When do you want to leave?"

That made Alice smile. She didn't smile that often.

"The sooner the later. I could use a couple of eyes to hunt on the night."

"You're lucky. I only found out I could get off island last week," Allie said as she started to gather up her things.

"I need to drop this stuff off at my place and grab my sword. Plus I should probably stop at the bar and get a bottle or two of True Blood to take with me just in case." She didn't plan on being injured, but it was better to be prepared before Alice's neck started looking tasty.

"Sometimes I'm lucky, I guess." Usually everyone else died when she was lucky though.

"It's good to plan ahead. Once we are there I'll make sure to get us a nice van so you can do...whatever you do during the day without worrying about the Sun. Meet you at the Causeway in an hour?"

"If we're moving I can make do with a van and a blanket. If we're staying put, I can go to ground if I have to. It's messy but it'll do."

Allie paused for a moment, common sense prevailing for a moment over the growing need to hunt. "Are you going back for a reason?"

"I haven't killed anything in way too long."

And that was the truth, really.

"Strangely enough I think I know how you feel." Not that Allie was all that thrilled with the feeling. It was too much the monster and not what she wanted to be.

"Going for rabids?"

[gdiumbrella.livejournal.com]

"We are overpopulated with them."

So yes, rabids.

"Like the world's worst roach problem," Allie said wryly.

Rabids were good. Rabids were guilt free hunting.

[gdiumbrella.livejournal.com]

"Only if you want to think about everyone you love turning into a roach. Not my issue though." The bless of having no memories.

"Can I count with you then?"

[allie-vamp.livejournal.com]

Allie had lost friends to rabids, had almost been one herself. It was a fact of life for her.

"I'm in. Let me grab my stuff and make a call." Because Kaidan always let her know when he was coming and going from the island, it seemed only right that she return the courtesy.

Alice nodded and stood, nodding at her before leaving. She didn't like to speak so much, really!
