Ninth Bite || "Just a Bite"

[wimpyvampire]

*Outside of 723 Anderson Lane, someone might notice a man sitting in his bushes. Yes. Sitting in his bushes, in the middle of the night, shivering. His hands cover his head and he looks rather troubled. It's odd for a man to do this, even for Conrad's standards. Perhaps it was a new trend

[Was going for a walk, as is his habit, and happens to pass by 723 Anderson Lane. He pauses when he sees something moving in the bushes and stares.]

[wimpyvampire]

*The thing in the bushes looks like its trying to climb out with shaky limbs, trying to make it towards the house. It doesn't help Conrad, with him being so skinny. Makes him look even more like a monster at night.*

Oh yeah, feel free to have him nom on Aussie all he wants, obvs.

[thatsnotaknife]

[But still a humanoid one, so Australia will assume he's just some poor, drunk bastard.] Oi, mate, you okay there?

[wimpyvampire]

*Conrad, being his failtastic self, trips over the hose lying in his yard and falls face first into the ground before he sits up, his glasses tilted on hie face as he looks over to the man*

Y-Yes I'm fine!

[wimpyvampire]

*Conrad perks up at the sound of footsteps passing by his house. His glasses glint in the darkness as he stands up. He wills himself to stay where he is, hugging his arms and biting his lower lip, blood leaking from his lower lip thanks to his snaggle tooth*

[wimpyvampire]

*HE COVERS his mouth, and tries to still his own breathing. No no. He can just hear the guy's heart beat in his head. It just pounded against his own goddamn skull.*

...

[foragentleworld]

[Is coming home late and passing by on the way to her house. It takes her a moment to notice him.]

... Excuse me, sir? Are you alright...?

[wimpyvampire]

*The man flinches. Oh god a child. A CHILD. He shifts in the bushes, back and away from her, his eyes wide behind his glasses*

Y-Yes! I'm fine!

[foragentleworld]

[Reaches out a hand worriedly.] You seem... scared.

[wimpyvampire]

*Inside his mouth, hos tongue runs over the back of his teeth absentmindedly, but he shakes his head, backing up until his back hits his house, looking at her through the bush now. His eyes were focused on her little wrist but he forces them closed, swallowing hard to resist.*

I'm... I'm just a little shaken right now. Don't worry about it!

Go right ahead and snack on Seychelles. I bet she tastes.... tropical.

[tuna_surprise]

[She was out for a walk, and notices the shaking bushes. Expecting someone's weird pet, she crouches down for a better look.]

Hey! What are you doing in the bushes?

[She's about to tease him for being a peeping tom, but then she notices that he doesn't look too well.]

Are- Are you okay? You aren't hurt, are you?

[wimpyvampire]

I'm not hurt, I'm just fine! Leave me alone!

*Except from that blood dripping from his lip, he looks alright... and besides his extremely pale skin, he looks as healthy as a horse! Well not really.*

[tuna_surprise]

[She sees the blood, but misinterperets.]

You don't look fine. You look really pale...

She frowns. She can't just leave leave him in the bushes to die of tuberculosis or whatever else makes you cough up blood.]

Should I call a doctor? Or would you rather go to the hospital?

[wimpyvampire]

No! No doctors! *He didn't really know how drone doctors would react to a vampire. Would they kill him? Would they experiment on him?! Conrad could not take the chance*

I-I just don't get out into the sun that much! N-No big deal!

[...Well, that's weird. Dist can't sleep, so he's simply strolling the streets far after logic would dictate he should be in bed. He tilts his head when he sees someone cowering in the bushes; rather than move on, he crosses the lawn and nudges the man with his toe.]

Hey. What's wrong with you?

[wimpyvampire]

*Conrad flinches at the foot prodding, snapping to his senses. In reaction, he smacks the man's foot away and shoots him a glare from his spot in the bushes*

HEY! Don't. Touch me.

[buildstherobots]

[Dist steps his foot back down onto the ground.]

Why are you hiding in the bushes?

[wimpyvampire]

I'm not hiding! I dropped... my glasses! I was working on the bushes and I dropped them while I was cutting the bushes.

*There were no sheers to be found*
