Justin has stayed in the bar since his last shift, mostly out of morbid curiousity. And he debated whether this theme was crass or not but in the end decided, why not? If there are reminders around the place, maybe people will think of something that could help.

Justin can have a bored-looking woman looking for booze.

"I'd like a Cuban Crime of Passion, please," she says, as she saunters over to the Bar.

[art_and_brian]

'Wouldn't we all?' he shoots back at her, grinning quickly before grabbing some bottles.

'You don't look like you're having a very invigorating evening.'

[living_vamp]

She smiles a bit at him. "Maybe that's why I need a crime of passion?" If she were a lesser living vamp, there would have been fang showing in that smile...as it is...he's probably lucky.

She watches his movements, lazily as she perches on a barstool.

[art_and_brian]

'Oh, well,' he says, not looking at her as he mixes the alcohol, 'I'm of the opinion that everyone could do with any kind of passion whether they're having an invigorating evening or not.'

Because really, is there ever a bad time for it?

[living_vamp]

"Any kind of passion? That's a dangerous mantra to live by. Things can happen...dangerous things."

Ivy has killed in the throes of passion before, and there's nothing worse than realizing your partner is dead.

"Perhaps my evening will be more invigorating after a few drinks."

[art_and_brian]

'...OK, I guess you have a point there.'

He smiles as he sets her drink down in front of her.

'I think of passion, I pretty much only think of one thing. There's probably worse things that could happen though.'

[living_vamp]

She takes the drink, and decides to play with the boy a bit. It's all in fun; all to invigorate the evening?

Her nose flares slightly as she scents him, her eyes bleeding to black, and she takes his wrist faster than he probably can see. Still, she's gentle.

"There's bad things that can happen during sex, too."

She chuckles and lets go.

[art_and_brian]

That was...unexpected. Justin blinks and his mouth drops open a little.

'O...kaaaay.'

He ever so subtley takes a step back, suddenly glad of the bar between them.

'Would it be rude to ask what you are?'

Rude or not, he just did.

[living_vamp]

She laughs harder as her eyes go back to brown.

Her hands wrap around her drink as she gets a sip.

"Not rude at all. I'm a living vampire."

And trust us, she noticed the step backwards. She notices everything.

[art_and_brian]

'As opposed to...a dead one?'

He's never quite made the 'undead' connection - to him, if something is walking around, talking and eating then it's alive, even if it's technically classed as dead.

'What's your name?'

[living_vamp]

"As opposed to one that wouldn't be drinking the booze, and probably wouldn't hesitate to bite you. I do. Blood chaste."

She shrugs, and puts out a hand. "Ivy Tamwood."

[art_and_brian]

'Not in Milliways, they wouldn't.'

Justin has faith that people will follow the rules here. And he takes the hand with a smile.

'Justin Taylor, good to meet you.'

[living_vamp]

"These specials...they are in relation to the death outside, are they not? Isn't murder against the rules as well?"

Flaw in Justin's thinking has been spotted.

"It's good to meet you as well, Justin."
