...we're busy today, huh?

I guess I'll be in Sergei's.

ATTACK OF THE ... well, you know

[powerofgod]

[Have a vampire, Marco. Yeah, he just sort of suddenly appears. On a bar stool. Because he's boss like that.]

Marco.

[Yep, that's it.]

Re: ATTACK OF THE ... well, you know

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco actually does a doubletake. That was...but why did he remember him?! He takes a deep breath and replaces the mask of 'calm,' giving the vampire a smile.*

Godric. Can I get you a drink?

[commentspam]

[powerofgod]

No, thank you.

[He tips his head to one side. Yeah, he's studying you, Marco. And he's reasonably certain something's changed, just a little.]

You've been well?

Re: [commentspam]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco scoffs*

You left me with a lot of work. No chance you're staying, is there?

*Cause this screams 'too good to be true' but...he did miss Godric.*

[commentspam]

[powerofgod]

It isn't likely. Major Kusanagi mentioned that these events will not be remembered afterwards.

[His expression shifts subtly, gaining a more penitent cant.]

For the hardships you've faced in my absence, I am sorry.

Re: [commentspam]

[ntjstapwn]

Yeah, I noticed that too.

*He sighs and takes a swig of his beer.*

I suppose you couldn't help it...unless you left of your own choice?

[commentspam]

[powerofgod]

Marco.

[He just looks at you, Marco, because that statement isn't something that even needs to be voiced.]

My leaving was no design or desire of mine.

Re: [commentspam]

[ntjstapwn]

*Marco grins*

That's what I thought *Hoped? He wasn't sure.* just needed to make sure.

*His grin turns a bit sheepish; he feels kind of bad for asking, but...wouldn't have been completely sure if he didn't.*

Have you seen Vie yet? She really misses you.

[commentspam]

[powerofgod]

[He folds his arms across the bar-top. Yep, he suddenly looks sixteen again. GD those vampire genetics.]

I have not.

[Yet, being the implication.]

Re: [commentspam]

[ntjstapwn]

*Somehow, Godric manages to never look 16 to Marco. His air of Age always seems to stay.*

I don't know how long this will last. I'm pretty sure something similar happened when I was new, or close to it, but I have no idea how long it lasted.

All the other weird shit lately's lasted two days, so that may be a good bet.

[commentspam]

[powerofgod]

[He nods.]

Have you needed to mobilize the militia in my absence?

[Helloooooo, shop-talk.]

Re: [commentspam]

[ntjstapwn]

Thankfully not. Aside from the bullshit changes, the only dangers have been other passengers.

Re: [commentspam]

[powerofgod]

[His lips quirk in a smile, equal parts ironic and amused. And maybe a little sad. He misses this place, though he is likewise glad of the oblivion he's come from and will most likely return to.]

I assume the effects of my blood wore off, with my departure?

[commentspam]

[ntjstapwn]

*He nods*

Immediately upon your disappearance.

[commentspam]

[powerofgod]

Then for that, too, I apologize.

[repentance, thy name is. Though he says it with a sort of ironic sense of amusement.]

I have missed this place. These people.

[commentspam]

[ntjstapwn]

*He shakes his head*

No, it makes perfect sense. I missed parts of it, but its not like I grew to rely on it. I'm more than fine without it.

What happened to you, anyway?
