20th Song [AccidentalVideo]

[singinghuntress]

[Now that the never ending day has come to a close, Rip has been having fun enjoying the night. This night, she's wandering some of the buildings with her hell cat draped over her shoulders.  The Huntress has even managed to scare up an old winter coat that looks like it had seen better days. Unfortunately the coat seems to be a few sizes too small so it hugs her form almost like a second skin. Not that she cares.

Rip is looking through the various buildings, humming a Christmas carol as she searches for... gifts. This was the one holiday that was celebrated more than even Halloween and Rip was very, very determined to enjoy it. That... and it's been over 50 years since she's had a white Christmas.

As for who she was giving gifts to? Well that was going to remain a secret. True, she couldn't celebrate the holiday  in some of the more traditional ways that she was used to, but she was going to make the best of it!

Eventually she pauses and digs something out of the rubble. It looks... like a broken Pocket Watch. She fiddles with it for a few moments before reaching up to scratch her cat's ears.]

"Vat do you zhink Hadewig? I am sure ve can find zomeone to fix it up."

[The Yodare gives a soft mewl and buts her head against her Mistress's cheek, making the vampire grin a little as she scratches the gray cats head.]

"You are right~ ve just need to ask! But first... lets zee vat else ve can find."

[Neither one of them seems to notice that PCD is even on.. or that it even fell out of Rip's pocket.]

Exactly~! Zhat iz a good trait of a zurvivor und a hunter~.

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

I'm... no hunter, I don't think. I've just been sorta forced to survive on what I could all year. It... puts things like this into perspective.

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

Vell, zometimes zhat can be just as good.

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I reckon.

What did you hunt before you came here, being a hunter? Was that part of your thing with your Captain?

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

[That question makes her a little uneasy to answer. Before here she was waging war, meaning she was hunting humans and enjoying the thrill of making their blood run.

Still! She was far from ashamed of that! So she grins.]

Before here I vas hunting humans. Ve vere at var und I vas Millenniums best sniper~. As for mein Captain.. ve vere in zhe same elite unit. Ve did not mingle vith zhe other soliders often.

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

[Hunting humans. It makes him frown a bit, but he knows in war-time, both sides do things they'd rather not... and he's going to just not ask her about that.]

Seems... sorta odd. A vampire using a gun to fight with. That... sorta normal in your world?

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

[His question makes her chuckle a little.]

It iz very, very common to use guns und even knives az a vampire to fight vith. Ja, ve haf an edge over humans, but vat about other vampires?

Vhen you are going against zomething zhat iz just as fast und az vicious az you are, one needs every advantage zhey can get~. Mine just happens to be distance und never missing.

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that makes sense. [He pauses] I guess they have to be special bullets, right?

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

For zome. It depends on vat you are hunting~. My usual gun iz a long musket which needs to be reloaded vith gunpowder und shot each round. But~, I can make it hit multiple time vhich makes it vorth it.

Skill iz more effective zhen brute force~ vhich some I know tend to favor.

Az for... 'special bullets'.Zome do, zome do not.

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

Sorry. I'm just curious.

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

Zhat iz alright~. I do not mind.

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

It's probably a little rude though, throwing all these questions at someone I just met.

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

[Now that makes her laugh]

Zhe questions mean you haf a zensible head on your shoulders un an inquisitive mind~. I do not mind~. Bezides, I am zuprized James or Zirius haz not busted in on our conversation und varned you vay from poor little ole me~.

I am a big zcary vampire after all~.

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

[That gets a slightly sheepish look from him as he looks toward his door.] Well, if they're watching over this, I'm sure I'll get warned off of you soon enough. I do live with them.

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

Zhen all I haf to zay, iz good luck vith zhat~. From vat I haf zeen, zhings tend to be interesting vith zhem.

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they do. I knew Sirius back in our world, so I kinda know what he's like.

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

Zhen I zuppose you are lucky in zhat... zhere are only two ozhers from my vorld und zhey vere on zhe opposite zide of zhe var.

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

Here, you mean? May I ask who they are?

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

Yes, here. One iz my varden, Zamiel, und zhe other iz his keeper.

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

[He thinks for a minute.] I don't think I've met them.

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

Zhen in zhat you are lucky.

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

Are they vampires, too?

[huntressrip.livejournal.com]

[For a brief moment, she hesitates.]

Yes. One iz. Zhe other iz human. Zhey are rather hard to miss...

[crux-ofmylife.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I'll keep that in mind when I meet them. [Meaning who they are in relation to Rip and not what they are.]
