Vision: Night out

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

[trying to wear clothes that coordinate well with her stained skin and hair was a little difficult but eventually manages to put together a decent outfit. She heads down to the first floor looking forward to a fun night out]

[ooc: this is backdated to yesterday/last night. sshhh]

[went with a black suit and shirt and a red tie. it matched his devil horn headband, you see. heads downstairs with a handful of those carnations like they sold at school fundraisers - the ones that've been dunked in green food coloring so the edges are green. figured, why fight it]

Cordelia?

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

[she turns and has to laugh a little at his outfit. she's in a classy looking dress]

That's me. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, too, finally! [goes to shake her hand, but - is holding the carnations in it. oops.]

Oh hey, these must be yours!

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

Oh, are they? I had no idea. [grins at him and takes the carnations]

They're gorgeous!

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Hey, I figured that if everything else had to be subjected to green water ..... [shrugs, grinning back]

So which way to the fabled Caritas?

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

Follow me. [and off we go into town! lalala]

So, how did you get to know Lorne, anyway?

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

[follows! tra la! should there be a trail of crumbs?] We, uh. We met when everyone was evacuated to the library. It's ... well, the only good thing about the story is how he made me smile in the middle of everything. And I don't wanna drag you down.

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

Oh, you mean... Oh. Yeah, that whole week was... But Lorne does have a way of making a bad situation not feel so bad. That's why I love him.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he really does. He managed to keep me from freaking out, for a while. So I dunno, I kinda owe him. [shrugs] How'd you meet him?

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

My friends and I were frequent patrons of the Caritas he had set up back in our world. Eventually he joined our team, and we got to be good friends.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Your team? Do you play softball, or something?

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

[bursts out laughing] Oh, god, no. We battle demons, fight vampires... help innocents. That kind of thing.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

.... [blinks] You know, seeing as Lorne is green and with the horns and all that, I really should've guessed something like that. [chuckles] Vampires, seriously? This whole 'other worlds and other weird kinds of people' thing is still kinda blowing my mind a little.

[if you bring up Spike, btw, he'll flip - he's the first guy he talked to, but he never got his name. LOL]

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

It was a little crazy for me when I first heard about it, but I'm used to it now. [smiles] There are lots of vampires in Paradisa. I bet you just didn't know you were talking to them.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Really? I always thought vampires would be kind of, yaknow. [finger fangs!] Obvious.

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

Not the ones I know. They look like ordinary people most of the time.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Huh! What do the ones around here look like?

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

The only ones I know personally are Angel and Spike. Angel's a great guy, he's just very broody. And Spike... well, with the platinum blonde hair you can't miss him.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Platinum ........ [trails off] .... does he, by any chance, look suspiciously like Billy Idol?

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

As a matter of fact, yes!

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

No. WAY. He was the first guy I even RAN INTO, here. Told me how to get to the Lux. ... And you're saying he could've had me for a drink instead of telling me where to find one??

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

[laughs] No, Spike is on a strictly no-human diet these days. So are all the vampires here, or so I understand.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

... well, what do they do so they don't starve, then? That's ... I mean, not that I'm not grateful my neck isn't Special of the Day, but ... that can't be good for them.

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

It's not like they can't get blood from the clinic, or maybe the castle provides it for them. Angel always managed without biting anyone.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Okay, wait. .... A vampire named Angel? .... Scuse me for a second.

[SNICKERS. A LOT]

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

[snickers with him]

That's not even the best part. You should see him when he fixes his hair.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

His hair? .... Uh oh. Don't tell me he's a Pretty Boy, too. ... That's kind of hysterical.

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

He is. You'd think a guy who can't even see his own reflection would use less hair gel.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

[laughs, HARD] Yeah, you're definitely not half bad.

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

You're damn right. [smiles] And you're pretty fun yourself.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

'Course I am. We're just awesome like that. ... [pauses and frowns, concerned] I just had a really terrible thought, Cordelia ...

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

..What's that, Barney?

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Between you, me, and Lorne ... do you really think the bar will be able to handle that much awesomeness? What's its Awesomeness Occupancy?

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

That's a very valid concern. But if the old Caritas could handle having me, Lorne, Gunn and Fred all in the same place then this Caritas should be fine.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Okay, just checkin'. I mean, McLaren's had a pretty high Awesomeness Occupancy, but one can never be too careful. [winks. offers her his arm?]

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

[takes his arm and off they go again. Subtlety isn't Lorne's strong point, so you can't miss Caritas once you get close enough]

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Wow, this place is ... yeah. Yeah, this is totally Lorne's place. [shakes his head, grinning, and gets the door for her. starts looking around]

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

['Sup guys, have a Lorne behind the bar, BEAMING when they come in]

Well, hey you guys finally made it!

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

Loooooooorrrrrrne! [BEAMS!] How you doin'? [more importantly, LOOK HE HAS HORNS LIKE YOU. hee. this was the best idea ever]

[mysticalvender.livejournal.com]

[It really WAS the best idea ever and now Lorne is laughing and giving him a thumbs up] Nice, and you've done a better job than my real brother. I think I'll have to keep you.
[Oh and have a wink, Cordy]
Unless someone's getting attached, that is. [Teases FOREVER]

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

[honestly, he wouldn't mind if she was HEY WHUT, shhh] Do I get free drinks if you keep me?

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

[have an eyebrow lifted in your direction, Lorne. but she laughs it off]

I think you two would be perfect together.

[bro-codebreaker.livejournal.com]

That's awful sweet of you, Cordelia, but sadly, I'm not his type. We're just bros. [beams and offers Lorne a fist bump]

[chasingvisions.livejournal.com]

[snickers a little] Ah, I see.
