After talking with Serena, Rachel almost staggers to the bar and settles her chin in her hands, lip bleeding sluggishly and unheeded from two small, neat holes.

She'd failed. Big suprise.

What else could go wrong?

She'd make a list later.

At least she could feel the edges of shock setting in. Numb was good.

*he notices her actions on the way to the bar*

Hey, you ok?....you're looking a little drunk or tired.

*he looks at her curiously hoping she'll respond*

[futures_of_ash]

She turns her head slowly and eyes him before wracking her brain for an answer. "I'm fine. I'm not drunk."

[take-a-gamble.livejournal.com]

Well, something's wrong with you. Unless, you always stumble all over the place when walking.

Which I know you don't

*he looks at her again*

[futures_of_ash]

It happened again

Feels like her world was going to shatter, but she won't let it. It's what she deserves after all, for getting attached to people. Trying to help, failing...

"Isn't it enough that I help people?"

"Is it?"

Obviously not...

"I was just suprised. I promise to walk properly next time"

[take-a-gamble.livejournal.com]

*he's a little annoyed*

Just stating the obvious and trying to help. I'm not telling you what to do. Calm down.

Here we go again, just when things are starting to get better.

*he sighs and notices she's bleeding*

Surprised?...in a way that makes you bleed?

[futures_of_ash]

"Unpleasantly suprised" she noted, wiping the back of her hand acrss her lip. "I'll be alright. Promise."

[take-a-gamble.livejournal.com]

Alright.

I'm not gonna baby her. She's doesn't need my band-aids. She's stronger than me.

*he smiles and brush a string of hair from her face*

How you been lately, besides the current?

((ooc:pup and mun really want to reply, but mun needs to sleep. Pup has recently taken an interest in vampires. Alas.))

[futures_of_ash]

((GO sleep, sleep is good for you. Can always poke teh Rachel later, or poke now once or twice and slow-time.))

[el-vago.livejournal.com]

((ooc: I'll sleep now, but they should discuss vampires another time. He met one and doesn't know what serena is(not that ash has to tell him). besides he thinks ash is pretty cool with the whole mind reading thing. and apparently the mun is typing like a 10 year old tonight. *Sleeps*))

[futures_of_ash]

((*chuckles and tucks blankets* They'll get along eventually I'm sure))

Rachel? Indy hesistates, just getting off his shift and on his way out to the fireworks, a look of some concern.

[futures_of_ash]

She blinks slowly at the directed thought, it drags her attention away from bitterness and embracing shock. "Indiana. Didn't see you. I'm sorry."

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

He moves over, still behind the bar, and sets his apron down. "What's wrong... you're bleeding."

[futures_of_ash]

Traces of haunted pain make it onto her face as she rubs the back of her hand along her lip. Seemingly, it was a mistake, the vampire bite still being potent despite it's size. A shiver went down her back despite her wince. "Nothing important. I got your note, congratulations." the last comment holds some of the usaul warmth.

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

"Thanks, yeah... it was great." He brushes over it dismissively though. Indy has a suspicion about the pricks of red. He's seen similar marks on Anthy's neck. "Are they... bite marks?"

[futures_of_ash]

And obviously he wasn't going to be detered so easily. She sighed and nodded reluctantly "Can't fool a doctor of weird things it seems"

But she didn't want him getting the wrong ideas either. "It was my fault."

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

"Just... hang on." He finishes cleaning up quickly and heads around the bar to take a stool next to her. "Wanna tell me what happened?"

[slayer_fray]

Two neat holes? Bleeding?

OK, this looks too familiar, which is why there's a blue haired girl sitting on the next bar stool along, watching her.

"You OK there?"

[futures_of_ash]

"Okay is a relative term, but in the long run I'll be fine" she answered a bit absently. Seems low level emotional shock made her talk before thinking.

Then she notes the blue hair and shifts her full attention to the girl. "Hello"

[slayer_fray]

"Hi," she says, frowning slightly and not taking her eyes off the blood.

"Nothing you wanna talk to Security about there?"

[futures_of_ash]

She notes the girls interest and winces, dabbing the blood with a napkin "No. It was my fault, it's okay, didn't even have to throw her across the room."

[slayer_fray]

OK, that? Gets a smile from her.

"If you're sure. S'kinda my job to check." She taps on the Bar, and asks for: "tissue, hon?" which she passes over to the bleeding girl.

"I'm Mel, by the way."

[futures_of_ash]

"Rachel Grey" she replied in kind, accepting the tissue. "You're security? What would you have done?"

[slayer_fray]

"Found the vampire and locked her up," Mel replies easily, although there's a note of disapproval in her face. "Not how I would have dealt with it at home, but most lurks here aren't any trouble. Different worlds, I guess."
