3.00 [Video] Life After Death

[reckless_riley]

[Riley clicks her comm on, and on a whim changes the setting to video. Hello, MS Elegante, have a Riley on your screens! She appears to be chilling on her bed in her room.

It's been a week since her death, and she's feeling more herself now to talk to the boat at large once more.]So, I'm sorry to say that there is no gift shop in the afterlife. No

Perhaps you should make a film of those wonderful, vivid memories. If you don't have many, just include the setup, reenactments of how you died, and testimonials.

Pure gold, I tell ya.

[She laughs.]

Do you think there's a market for erotic vampire snuff films on this ship? Think I could become a movie star on this little boat, mister?

[Yes, she's kiiind of affecting a bit of a naive-young-girl tone to her voice.]

[video]

[hadalotofsugar]

On this ship? There's a market for everything.

[Have video of him sticking his lower jaw out and stroking his beard.]

I mean, vampires gotta wank to something, right? And plus, there's people that get off on that kinda stuff anyway.

You could definitely corner the market.

[Oh video, well look at that? He's not bad looking at all, except for that mustache and beard he's stroking. Sigh. If it wasn't for that she'd be on that like white on rice.

As it stands, Riley's flirting level goes to "low" when she replies.]

People get off to all sorts of things.

I guess all I need now is to find a camera and some intrepid camera man willing to help me catch this all on film.

[video]

[hadalotofsugar]

[It's better this way; King is now taken.]

Good luck with that, then. I mean, camera's are pretty hard to come by.

[She'd surely have no lack of men wanting to watch.]

[video]

[reckless_riley]

Are they really? Damn. Guess I'll have to go looking around tomorrow.

[It was a toss up as to whether or not she'd film herself having sex. Finding a video camera seemed like something worth acquiring, in either case.]

Name's Riley by the way. Don't think we've met before.

[video]

[hadalotofsugar]

You might find one, but it seems electronics that are useful are in short supply on this barge.

[A pause.]

King. No chess jokes, please.

[video]

[reckless_riley]

Well damn, guess I'll have to beg, barter or trade...

[She stops a second, and then her lips split into a wide grin.]

Are you sure I can't make jokes? I mean come on, my last name is Knight. If I can't make those jokes then who can?

[video]

[hadalotofsugar]

[King laughs.]

Sure, but that just means I'm the one in charge then. Even if you move in funny directions.

[Does this make Bryn the queen?]

[video]

[reckless_riley]

[Bryn is totally the queen, which makes her more powerful than any other piece on the board.

Just don't tell her that.]

I move in all sorts of directions, King. Good luck trying to take charge and tell me where to go, though.

[That? That is not a challenge. She says it with a laugh, but it's clear she means it to a degree.]

[video]

[hadalotofsugar]

[Well, she'd certainly work on King at least.]

Mmm, I'm a benevolent King. Or a lazy player, take your pick, Knight.

[New nickname? I think so.]

[video]

[reckless_riley]

[Riley usually preferred her first name but from another chess-piece, Riley would tolerate being called Knight.]

I'm guessing lazy player.

[Because given the opportunity to poke at someone, she'll take it.]

[video]

[hadalotofsugar]

I'm wounded, really.

[King laughs a bit again.]

[video]

[reckless_riley]

I can see that. Now, now, don't cry. It'll be alright. You don't seem the sort that can't bounce back quickly from a little setback.

[video]

[hadalotofsugar]

[Dramaticfais.]

Knight, you hardly understand me. I'm a delicate flower... a sensitive soul. I... I don't think I'll ever get over it.

[video]

[reckless_riley]

[She's sympathetic. Really she is. See this? This is Riley rubbing her finger and thumb together.

Yes, she's playing the world's tiniest violin just for you.

And yes, she's giving you the biggest shit-eating grin ever.]
