003. Third seduction - Video

[vampingitup]

[Just before the sun rises on the eighteenth, and long before tonight's dreams, a vampire makes a video post. Surprisingly someone whose usual visitors are all night-risers has taken a while to have the rumour mill of the shared dreams reach him, but like any good businessman he's happy to monopolise upon circumstance.]

For those of you who don't

[Amy makes a very groggy glance at the post, as she had been haunted by the dreams, too. But she only frowns and pays it no heed. As much as she liked the idea of belonging, there was something about the place that reminded her of the dream from the third night.

Not to mention that the place... that place was where her father ran into her accuser.]

[He would offer you an olive branch if he knew, Amy.]

[There's a little voice inside of her nagging her to reach out and not be so cloistered and private anymore. Perhaps... despite how awkward she feels about it, perhaps it would be a good idea to speak with Monsieur Northman.]

Your club. It reminds me of one of the dreams.

Miss Sorel - Amy. Which dream are you thinking of? I've avoided most of them, simply out of sleeping habits.

[Soma has a neutral look on his face, but... yeah, but he sounds nervous. He tries to cover it, but... yeah, even he isn't fooled.]

That last one isn't a hint that your firing me, is it, sir?

[He looks a little surprised by the response.]

If anything, I'm asking you to work extra hours, Soma.

[whitedarklord]

...ah.

[Relief? Yes. Hey, it's forgivable; you need special permission to work while attending school in Japan, so he's rarely had much of a job.]

As long as it doesn't interfere with my school work, I don't mind.

[...and then he hesitates. Shoot, if the costume event starts on the 29th, then he's going to miss Elaine's party...]

Uh... though I have to ask for the 29th off. A... friend is having a party, and I was about to put in for it when you made your announcement, sir.

It's fine, I was thinking of dropping in myself.

[Loyalty what is that? He already knows about the party, and has no intention of stealing its thunder, even if Fangtasia fights hard to compete.]

If they wanted predators to keep them awake, they could just go outside.

[vampingitup]

The difference being that the predators outside will kill you.

[20_mentholkools]

If there's no threat, they've got no reason to be staying awake.

[vampingitup]

As true as that is, I suggest you tell them. Thrillseekers enjoy rollercoasters, even though they know they aren't going to die.

[wickedclever]

I think I'll take my chances sleeping in my own bed thanks.

[vampingitup]

Well that's too bad. I've heard some of the dreams are exceptionally disturbing.

[wickedclever]

Nothing in my dreams is as disturbing as the real thing.

[vampingitup]

They aren't your dreams.

[ -- no, wait, he ignored everything about this except -- ]

You're having people pay to stay awake?

[That -- is actually kind of the best idea ever.]

A wise businessman makes good use of any opportunity.

[Genius.]

An individual after my own heart.

[Pleasantly!]

How much are you charging for this service?

[vampingitup]

Nothing more than entry fee. Drinks are additional, of course.
