He walked away from the table and sat down on the couch, smoke billowing from him like a smoke house chimney, none of this added up and Nick hated it when the math didn’t add up.
Nickie walks over and sits across his lap, “Of course not, you’re going with me… I’ll set up the time and date and that will give us time to see if we can brush up on the lore. I may know someone who can enlighten us. I hadn’t thought about him in ages until I spoke with my parents. Dr. Van Richten is due to return from visiting them, I could go see him and ask him about vampires.”
“So, this Dr. guy studies the monsters?” Nick was particularly happy with her seating choice, but he realized it was a clever distraction to stop his worrying.
“Well, I thought it was all just mythology and folklore, but he’s always been interested in obscure lore. I figured it was just an old man interested in old stories… but what if it wasn’t. What if Dr. Van Richten has been studying ancient beings like vampires?”
“We could go see him and then maybe be a bit better prepared. You think he might even know this fellow?” Nick wrapped his arms around her small waist being careful not to burn her with the cigar.
“Right! So, I’ll return the call and set up a day time and we’ll go visit Dr. Van Richten at his estate and see what information we can gather before meeting up with this Vulpe guy.” She was on the phone before Nick could even reply that he didn’t like it, but he’d already figured she knew he wouldn’t like it. One she ended the call she tossed the phone on the couch, then turned her attention back to him.
had the wildest interaction today some random woman called me a slag and my dog a fucking faggot because I was using a pink lead/harness and he’s a boy like what the fuck lmfaoo
Happy Thanksgiving to everybody who celebrates. I am really happy everybody loves me smoke show! I did not expect this smoke show to be as successful as it is thanks for the support. And when I was sick you guys reached out and it was nice. I'll be taking many smoke breaks today with some of my other family so I'll read whatever you leave me but otherwise I'm going to enjoy my day food and family time and I hope you all do the same.
The voice continued, “I imagine you still want to know why I chose you... It’s merely because I think you would be entertaining and ask me true questions… not those silly ones that compare me to the movies. I find humans entertaining and more so to meet humans who haven’t yet learned that they are the weakest creatures on the planet. You believe yourselves to be the pinnacle of earthly creatures, but you’re not even in the top 10. Feel free to return my call with a day, time and place and I will be there with bells on! You may even bring along that dour looking chap who smokes a lot.”
Nick sat back, “You want to interview this psycho…”
Nickie looked over at him, “Well yes… what if he’s exactly what he says he is.”
Nick puffing furiously on his cigar, “That’s my problem, what if he is. You aren’t going alone.”
"I do what Captain America CAN'T. Kill people. Eliminate them. Always have."
"Some people need to go away. For good. Make the world a better place. Sue me." He smiled a bit, as he crossed his arms over his jacket and hoodie, just staring at everyone quietly.
