002. [Visual] | can't even sell my soul cause it ain't worth shit to take

Apr 23, 2010 15:44

Harvestman has apparently figured out what showers are for. His choice of clothes are miraculously clean and look to be only a little bit worn out, the collar frayed, but at least he's got all the buttons there. He's even shaved. He's also, indicated by the clinking of buttons and the rumbling of tumble dryers, is in a laundromat ( Read more... )

There is no way this conversation won't contain horrors.

"Well," Glitch began. He was an adviser by trade, really, so there was a compulsion to offer some sort of assistance. "Getting to know people first is a good start. I think."

He's a bit old fashioned, bear with him.

"Not necessarily. Sometimes the best fuck is when you ain't even got the other guy's name before you start." Clearly Harvestman is some sort of expert at this.

"...okay that can be the case," he replied. Try not to worry about how he thinks he knows this. "But if you want to continue receiving the attentions of...a someone then there should be some basis of of- you're really only interested in sex, aren't you?"

He's a genius y'know.

Harvestman laughs. "Yeah, sorry. I ain't the relationship making sort, anyhow - not that great of a catch, when you get down to it. More than good enough for a night, though, or so I've been told."

Glitch is kinda cute, in that innocent, naive kinda way.

"Well, you've got that going for you!" Glitch enthused, because optimism springs eternal. "And who knows, m-maybe there's someone out there you can do the relationship thing with."

Hey, in a city where a headcase can end up with a princess... "I'm Glitch, by the way. Um. Interesting to meet you."

Harvestman shakes his head, but he's still smiling. "Interesting, huh? First time I've heard that one."

"Dunno if you noticed but most introductions in Taxon tend to be at least peculiar," Glitch reasoned with a chuckle of his own. "I I take it you're a new arrival?"

"Yeah, one of ya'll was kind enough to warn me about the shitload of vampires you got 'round here. Apparently that's some kinda thing going on, I don't know."

Harvestman leans back and knots his hands behind his head. If he doesn't have to admit to being a vampire until it's dragged out of him, he won't.

"One of my best friends is a vampire. Levi um...Levi, I forgot his last name." This happens. "They're not all bad, though, you just don't wanna get them mad at you. And and there's plenty of regular folks too."

Says the man with the zipper on his head.

Great, and Levi knew he was a vampire; at least he thought he knew, and there wasn't a damn thing Harvestman could do to stop him from blabbing about it. Harvestman decides to keep playing the innocent route anyway; maybe it'd get him somewhere. "Now, don't get me wrong, but ain't you saying that you don't wanna get them mad imply there's something to worry 'bout when it comes to them?"

That angle will probably serve him well since Glitch likes helping the wayward. Still, he had to tilt his head a bit as he sorted out that question.

"No? Yes. Um, hang on." He frowned and counted off the negatives before trying again. "I was in trouble a little while ago, and...Levi got rid of the guys who were bothering me." By killing the ever-fucking shit out of them, but they were Extras so it's cool. "Basically he's someone you want as an ally instead of an enemy, I I don't really know the other vampires too well but I can imagine it works pretty much the same with them"

Harvestman runs a hand through his hair. "I don't think there's a thing I could really do that would piss a vampire off."

This is a goddamn lie, by the way. Pissing people off was practically his job.

"But I can't say this whole supernatural thing makes me all that comfortable. I saw some shit in the Army, but that was fucking human, at least."

He nodded in solemn understanding, having been through a war, a coup, and a hostile occupation back in his own world. Humans could be worse than any monster.

"You get used to it," Glitch said in his most reassuring tone. "And...usually it's pretty safe here, I think I remember it being very safe, once. The aliens have just been more creative lately, but I'm sure it'll quiet down."
