are you alive

Yeah.

I'm at my bookstore in the Down.

okay

are your powers stable i was fucked up for days i'm just now okay again

They were fucked for the first day or so. I'm fine now. It pays to be the less powerful of the two of us sometimes.

Did everyone with you make it out okay?

lucky you i couldn't stay person-shaped for three days

yes

i need you for something

That must have been fun.

Good.

what? more destruction i hope.

come to my apartment

i'll fill you in when you get here

Fine. I'll be there soon.

[And roughly twenty minutes later, she'd be knocking on his door.]

[ alucard opens the door after the moment in black pants and a white button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. there's a cigarette hanging from his lips, oddly enough, half-smoked, and he takes a lazy drag as he pulls her into the apartment and shuts the door. ]

I got you a present.

[She's a little surprised by the cigarette but, doesn't question it as he pulls her into the apartment and shuts the door. For herself, Rip was just happy to have her own suits back after a month in the horrible clothes the fort forced them into.

Though for once her hair's pulled back in a low pony tail with a gold colored clip at the nape of her neck. The mention of a present had her perking up considerable as she looked up at him curiously.]

Vat kind of present?

[ he eyes the clip with interest but says nothing about it, shrugging and starting further into the apartment. ]

You'll see. Follow me.

[ he trails down the hallway toward the bathroom, whose door is closed, but when she gets any closer she'll definitely be able to hear muted struggling and grunting from inside. ]

It's time to start.

[Did she notice him eyeing up her small bit of jewelry? Who knew. She was more interested in seeing what kind of present he had for her. Though when she realized they were heading to the bathroom, she was a little confused.

Until she heard the struggling on the other side and paused a few feet from the door and tilted her head slightly before glancing back at him.]

Alucard, vat exactly did you get me?

[Or who might be the better question and why.. actually, no. She could guess the why part and she still wasn't sure if she could make ghouls here.]

[ he smiles benignly, taking another drag and blowing the smoke away from the both of them. he's definitely picked it up again because of stress, but there you go. ]

Things have been stressful. I want the final blow, but I thought you could have some fun first, as long as you don't kill them.

[ he opens the door and there, tied up and gagged on the floor, is a lies center staff member, still in uniform. he's still trying to move around and alucard rolls his eyes, walking over to press a foot to his chest and push him onto his back on the floor. ]

I made a lot of promises to you, in there. I thought I could fulfill one.

[Considering Rip's own ideas of stress relief, smoking was probably the least destructive things he could do. At least he wasn't blowing it in her face. Otherwise, she might be tempted to slap him.

Though, he might enjoy that...

Her attention quickly turned towards the door as he opens it and it takes her a moment before she's grinning with delight, displaying her usual mouth full of fangs as she watches the man struggle.]

You spoil me~.

[Her excitement was definitely hard to miss as she turned back to him and very soon was dragging him down into a very pleased kiss despite him tasting like smoke.]

It's a perfect gift und I'll make sure to put him to good use vhile I torture zhe poor bastard before you finish him off.

Anyzhing to get back at zhem for putting us through zhat hell. Und I appreciate you keeping at least one of zhe promises you made.

[ that's a degradation tactic he'd only use if someone wanted it, thank you very much. he's rude, but not that rude.

he watches her, mouth quirking at her excitement, and he hums into the kiss as he returns it, nipping at her lower lip when she pulls away. he looks pretty pleased with himself, honestly. ]

Well, we never got to kill them all but I did get you a gun, we did manage to kill a lot of them, and now we're going to be having a lot of fun with this work.

[ he finally takes his bare foot off the man's chest, taking a step back and gesturing to him with a flourish as he sits on the edge of the bathtub. ]

He's all yours.

[She nodded as her attention was focused on her prey and contemplating where to start her idea of 'playing'. ]

A gun I vill put to good use. I might even haf an idea of a few people zhat should learn how to shoot if zhey are villing to learn from one of us.

[That and Rip wanted every excuse she could get to show off her skills and her abilities with a gun just for her own amusement...What could she say? She loved her firearms even if none of them could compare to her lost musket. Which.. was something she blamed LIES for.

A few moments later she was dragging the bound man up to his knees before starting in on him. Rip giggled as she started breaking bones and tearing into their captive. She was careful to keep him alive but.. she was also eager to make him scream as much as possible.]

I know a few. Adrian wants to learn, I'm going to teach him.

[ alucard is proud of his own skills as well, after all: his hubris may be his downfall at times, but it's not like it's going to harm him in showing new people how to shoot.

he crosses one leg over the other, leaning forward as he watches her work. his attention is steady on her and on the screaming man--who is thankfully still muffled by the gag, since alucard does have neighbors--who is quickly coming apart at the seams under the treatment.

alucard slowly smokes the rest of his cigarette, light haze of smoke coiling around him. he's unblinking, eagle-like.

finally, he speaks: ] Remember, he will have to be somewhat mobile.

I vas zhinking of teaching Azwel how to shoot, if he decides to learn.

[Her choice in 'students' might be an odd one but, Rip was overly fond of the human enough to want to protect him...

Not that she was letting that on as she focused on her prey. Rip wasted no time breaking fingers, starting with the pinkie on the left hand and working her way up the rest before switching to the right hand, twisting and breaking bones before moving to break the man's wrists just to add to the discomfort and pain.

Next she was moving to dislocating shoulders with a very satisfied pop. From there.. Rip was giggling as she shoved the man onto his stomach and tore open his uniform top to expose flesh. Her nails raked down his back, leaving bloody trails as she then used them to carve into his back various words and phrases as the man writhed and screamed beneath her.

There was a lot of aggression she still had to get out apparently, even with the bloody feast she had on the guards at the fort during her own escape.]

Zhen I von't touch zhe legs.

The more people that know, the better.

[ once his cigarette is gone he stubs it out on the back of his hand and tosses the butt in the trash, turning back to what's happening immediately.

a part of him hopes nothing rip is writing is incriminating, but the rest of him doesn't care--he hums again and nods, satisfied. ]

As long as he can walk and bite, I'll be happy.

[ he shifts though, both feet planted on the floor again as he leans forward, elbows resting on his knees while he watches.

this is definitely doing it for him, sick as it is, and he licks his lips. he's been so fucking genteel around everyone else that this is catharsis in a way, to let loose in a situation that's not life-or-death.

he grins, toes curling slightly against the tile. ]

I hope you have nowhere to be after this.

[He doesn't have to worry much, all she's writing are simple things all meant to be derogatory towards her prey. 'Bastard' 'Asshole'... things like that. She was being careful not to write anything that might lead back to them. Though with how clawed up she was leaving the poor soul's back, he might be in threat of bleeding out instead of having the words scar over.]

...Zhen no dislocating his jaw. Got it.

[There was a teasing tone to her voice as she kept working and started to loose herself in finding new and creative ways she could make her prey scream while still fitting Alucard's requirements. She didn't care how blood splattered she got or even that her hair was coming loose while she worked and started framing her face a a bit more.

Rip was simply having fun in her own brutal way and it was leaving her worked up in more than one way as she glanced up at him while she licked some blood off her fingers.]

I'm all yours zhis afternoon und evening~.

[ good, good. and there's no worry about him bleeding out, anyway--alucard's going to take care of that once she's had her fun, after all. he may not get to torture, but it's been over a century since the last time he's made a ghoul, so he's excited at the prospect.

more than excited, really. ]

Can't have a useless ghoul on our hands, after all.

[ he's still happy to watch her, but there's such an itch under his skin--she's beautiful like this he thinks, wild and vicious and with her strength turned in the right direction.

it's probably completely unsurprising when he undoes his trousers and slips a hand inside, drawing out his arousal so that he can lazily stroke it as he watches her. it's not like it's a secret what they're going to do after this, after all. he's just sharing his enjoyment. ]

Good. You're even more beautiful like this.

[She's definitely not surprised when she hears the rustle of fabric behind her. Part of her was wondering if he'd hold out until she was done or act before and this was just a good answer to her question.

Though she did take a moment to appreciate the sight as she finished cleaning the blood off her hand before undoing her suit jacket and tossing it aside. She'd collect it later. That just left her in her dress shirt, slack and shoes. ]

You just like me bloody~.

[Which really did have its own appeal for the both of them.]

[ his eyes still never leave her. his hand works slowly, nails tipping down into his own flesh slightly before he swipes his thumb over the tip languidly, lazily-- ]

Is that such a crime? I like watching your brutality.

[ it's even nicer to watch her without the jacket on, really, especially since now her shirt can get bloody. the man's struggles are lessening as he weakens, but alucard is keeping a close eye on that, too. she can still have a little more fun. ]

Bring him to me when you're done.

[She laughed as her eyes lingered for a moment longer before she went back to her weakening prey. There wasn't much more she could do while his struggles grew weaker but, Rip wasn't about to stop until she absolutely had to which meant the white dress shirt she was wearing definitely got blood splattered as she finished up her work.]

I'm glad someone does~. It's nice to be appreciated for my talents.

[She carved a few more things into the man's back before taking his shoulder and wrenching it hard, drawing out a muffled scream as she broke bones before shifting off of her prey so she could drag him to Alucard. In a way, she was very much a cat presenting her prey to someone she liked~.]

He's all yours~.

[ he huffs out a little laugh of his own, practically affectionate in its cadence. he watches her get more and more bloody, eyes flicking from her to the dying man, and when she comes over he grins, leaning up to grant her a kiss and lick a stripe of blood off her cheek before he lifts both hands to grip the man by the shoulders. ]

Good. Thank you.

[ when he bites down it's with every needle-like tooth, ripping and tearing at the man's throat as his struggles and cries finally die down. the man's body jerks involuntarily as he dies, coughing up blood from his ruined throat, and once he's done he tosses the body to the bloody bathroom floor, yanking rip down by the front of her shirt to kiss her again and pass some blood to her, insistent. ]
