Not that busy. But I suppose you deserve first right of refusal. I’m in the Down but I think I can still get you a drink.

[donateblood]

We're both in the Down! Coincidences!

[sorserer]

Not all coincidences are happy ones.

You seem like a charming enough fellow. Why haven’t you moved on up in the world?

[donateblood]

Up or Up? Hah. I used to live in the Up with my previous Dom. My current Dom and I are friends, but not involved, and so continue to live separately.

[sorserer]

You don’t mind living down here?

Granted, I haven’t lived anywhere else for very long during my stays here. But the accommodations still leave something to be desired.

[donateblood]

It's certainly not ideal, no, but I wouldn't be allowed to live in the Up without my Dom.

[sorserer]

Right. Still getting reacquainted with the rules, myself.

I could go for that drink sooner rather than later, actually.

[donateblood]

I have about half a bottle of cheap wine, or we could go to Fangtasy and I'll see what I can rustle up.

[sorserer]

I haven’t been to Fangtasy before. Might be worth checking out.

[donateblood]

It's the vampire bar in the Up. Don't worry, I'll protect your virtue ;)

[sorserer]

[ that actually gets a snort of laughter from stephen irl. ]

How do I know it isn’t your virtue that needs protecting?

[donateblood]

I work there.

[sorserer]

That’ll do it.

I can meet you there.

[donateblood]

Sure! Look for a handsome man that's dark, tall, and mysterious.

[sorserer]

No, please, be less specific.

[donateblood]

[ sniggers. and then sends a photo ]

[sorserer]

[ well, that’s pretty good, actually. shit. ]

Much obliged.
See you soon.

[donateblood]

What, I don't get a photo in return? I suppose I'll just have to wait and be surprised.

[sorserer]

Surprises are healthy now and then.

[donateblood]

Fair enough! and you can run away if it turns out you don't like me in person.

[sorserer]

I’ll try and be brave.

[ he’s showing up within the hour, dressed in casual civilian wear and a red scarf. he scans the bar looking for the purportedly tall, dark and mysterious man from the selfie, bemused. ]

[ he's leaning against the bar, chatting? flirting? with the bartender. ]
