[Scout. Tuxedo. Cape. It's on, Mayfield.

He's got the cape over his face Lugosi-style and he's coming your way. Or is outside your window, maybe. OR SUDDENLY BEHIND YOU, LE GASP!]

...

Uh, hey. 'Sup.

........ Scout?

*Have a gun pointed right at your head from Sniper's position on the roof. He may have recognized you, but he's not lowering the gun.*

[freakinblur]

Hey! Sniper! Lookit me, I'm a freakin' vampire! I think I seen this movie. But, uh, I can't, like, stop. My arm's gettin' kinda tired.

[bye_to_yer_head]

A.. vampire.... roight. What're you doin' on my lawn then?

Would you loike me t' shoot it off fer ya?

[freakinblur]

I don't even know! What? No, don't freakin' shoot me! It's like... I just gotta...

[He starts advancing again. Good lord is he confused.]

[bye_to_yer_head]

You jus' gotta...

*He actually lowers his gun.*

You look roight ridiculous Scout.

*Sorry, you're not a real intimidating vampire.*

[freakinblur]

Hey pally, cut me some slack! I crawled out of a grave 'n' everything!

[He swirls the cape back dramatically, and proceeds to walk with his arms extended.]

I wish I could knock this shit off, though.

*Sniper stands on the edge of the roof and peers down at him.*

An' where exactly are you goin? Because it's taken you 10 minutes jus' to get off the sidewalk.

[freakinblur]

Dunno. Think I'm comin' over to be all menacing 'n' stuff. Bein' menacing is way too slow though.

[bye_to_yer_head]

Would it be helpful if I came t' you?

*He's fighting down a smirk but... this is just too good.*

[freakinblur]

No, it wouldn't! It'd ruin the effect, awright? Lemme do this.

[Slowly... sloooooowly....]

If you say so mate.

*He disappears over the line of the roof and comes back few minutes later with a beer. Time to sit on the edge of his roof and wait for Scout to get to him so he can be menaced. He glances at his watch and takes a swig of his drink. He's got plenty of time.*
