Poker [Locked to the poker players]

[fh_jackass]

Logan's home. There's a poker table set up in the living room, with booze and snacks on a nearby table. There's a hole in the wall near the entry way, just about fist level for someone Logan's height. If one stepped into the kitchen, one would find the shredded remains of a coffee plant strewn about.

Logan sat on the couch, viciously pounding the buttons on his Playstation controller and drinking from an already-half-empty bottle of tequila.

"Ta," Angelus picked up his glass and held it out. "Not bad. Who bought it?"

Re: Round 1

"My roommate," Logan scowled, pouring the drink. "All my booze disappeared zombie weekend, then a replacement batch showed up a few days later."

"From tone I'm guessing this isn't the one you want to kill."

"Same guy. Never trust someone who steals your alcohol," Logan said. He frowned at his glass, then chugged the whisky angrily.

"Going to burn your throat," Angelus warned him. He sipped his drink then put it aside. "So what are you going to do with this bad boy?"

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"I've never eviscerated anyone," Logan said with a tight smile. "Might be fun."

"That can be messy if you don't know where to aim," Angelus looked out towards the water, watching the waves lap on shore.

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

Logan watched the water in silence for a moment. "Have you killed people?" he asked finally.

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Yes."

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"Why?"

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. "Because I wanted to."

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

Logan stared at Angelus.

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

Angelus lit a cigarette using his own lighter. "You asked."

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"I did," said Logan, running a finger over the top of his whiskey glass. "Why did you want to? Food? Fun? Revenge?"

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes all three," Angelus said. "I'm not telling you anything you wouldn't find out if you didn't look me up in a book. I don't know if you wanted me to lie to you, Logan. Or pretty up my past and pretend I've always been a nice guy who's never hurt a living soul. There's no point to that. It's not true. Yeah, I've killed people. Yeah, I've even liked it. People used to say I was the stuff of nightmares. Guess it used to be true."

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"Used to be?" Logan asked. "What changed?"

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Fed from the wrong gypsy," Angelus grimaced. "Never cross a gypsy. Their concepts of revenge are very creative."

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"I wouldn't know," Logan said. "What did they do?"

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Put a soul into me," Angelus said. "Made me feel every horrible thing I'd ever done as though it had happened to me personally. It's not something I'd wish on my own worst enemy."

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"I think I like gypsies," Logan said. "Does that spell work on humans, too?"

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Never asked," Angelus flicked his ashes into the wind and away from Logan. "But bet there's plenty of spells that could do something similar. All you need is a witch with enough skill."

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"I'll keep that in mind," Logan said. "So you got a soul? I gather that's not part of the standard vampire package?"

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Angelus looked as though what he was saying was taking some effort to get out, as though each word was physically painful. "All vampires are soulless, but don't let that fool you. Soul doesn't really do anything. I spent nearly a century in unrelenting agony because I had that thing inside of me. Good for gypsies, not so great for anyone else. Gypsies never asked themselves what would happen to a vampire who felt nothing but misery for every day of his unlife. If they thought it would make a hero, they were sadly mistaken."

Re: Round 1

[fh_jackass]

"Spent? So you don't have it anymore?"

Re: Round 1

[notstakedyet.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Angelus said. "If I did you'd have a vastly different vampire in front of you. One who isn't nice, and isn't trusthworthy."
