@nathan.drake, morning of feb 27

[nonscriptum]

hey be careful in the few blocks around the bar when you're coming into work today

someone attacked me last night

[snipedt]

[ This is the weirdest message to receive, and for a minute Tim just stares at it, brow furrowed, for some reason trying to decide if it's a joke. Doesn't seem like it. There's a whole lot of stupid questions he could ask right now, redundant ones like are you okay (clearly, otherwise he wouldn't be sending out PSAs) and who was it (probably would have said if he knew, although maybe some kind of identification might be necessary). In the end, he decides to ask something he thinks might be a little smarter. ]

Attacked how?

[nonscriptum]

[ Nate sort of knows the identity, but he'd rather not make any assumptions and having been tackled by a vampire before is conscious of how they can snap under unfortunate circumstances.

She could have killed him. He's aware of that, too. ]

bit me
after chasing me down the street, up the side of a building when i climbed a fire escape, and across the rooftops

[snipedt]

[ All coherent thought pretty much leaks out of his head. ]

What the fuck

[nonscriptum]

yeah, i know
i have the least attractive hickey this side of new amsterdam

[snipedt]

They bit you on the neck??? Like a vampire???????

[nonscriptum]

they were actually a vampire, so yes

1/2

[snipedt]

[ Nothing for a good few minutes, and then: ]

[snipedt]

So are you a vampire now

[nonscriptum]

i don't seem to have an overwhelming lust for blood, so probably not
though i could really go for some orange juice and a cookie after my unwilling donation

[snipedt]

Are you trying to make me feel bad for you

[nonscriptum]

if i was, i doubt you'd extend your heartfelt sympathies

[snipedt]

Listen, I don't have my mourning veil, there's not much I can do here

[nonscriptum]

i didn't message you to ask you to kiss it better, tim, i messaged you to let you know you should be careful

i've been bitten by a vampire before but this time was way worse

1/2

[snipedt]

How the hell have you been bitten by vampires multiple times dude

[snipedt]

(Thank you for the warning btw I appreciate it but answer my question first)

1/2

[nonscriptum]

just lucky, i guess

[nonscriptum]

jk, the last world i got trapped in before this had a vampire that jumped me in an alley. guess they're not super original when it comes to attack venues.

[snipedt]

Do you walk around with a 'free real estate' sign on your neck or what

[nonscriptum]

yeah, it's right next to the neon sign that says "likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain"

[snipedt]

That song is so fucked up

[nonscriptum]

right? how did they not divorce after that? both of them wanted to cheat and they were just like "this is fine"

[snipedt]

[ that's heterosexuals for you ]

I'm so glad you understand me

[nonscriptum]

my brother loves it, but he's also one of the most prolific pick-up artists i know, so

[ Besides Sully. No one can out-suave Sully. ]

1/3

[snipedt]

Are you big bro or little bro?
