@patienti-a asked: "It's been so long, old friend."
“Sure has been, ain’t it! Jeez, time just flies these days. Forget what year it is, half the time too. When you’ve lived as many as this, I guess they kind of all just muddle together.” A chuckle pours wryly from the vampire’s mouth, full of smoke as much as quaint, roguish joy as he hoists himself up onto the balcony railing. “So how’s life been treating you since the last time? Been up to anything interesting? How’s things going upstairs?”
@notte-la-lagna asked: "And to who do I owe the pleasure?" ( what if... i sent johnny... a therapist.... )
Polite, as far as introductions go; a sadly fleeting luxury in a world where Johnny can afford them all, and a curiously pleasant surprise coming from the mouth of someone that seems distantly familiar. At least, the smell of another vampire could never prove anything but. A grin tugs the corner of his mouth, smoke stealing grey and soft from the seam of his lips as he looks the other up and down with playful curiosity.
“Oh, I think the pleasure’s all mine, darling. But if it’s a name you’re after, you can just call me Johnny.” The cigarette still blushing between his fingers is gestured their way, summing them up in a flick of his wrist as his midnight eyes fall warmly upon the other man’s gaze.
“What about you? Got a name as pretty as your face to share with little ol’ me?”
@marksofwoe asked: "Devil May Cry..." hardly a greeting, eyeing him as he walks in. "Can I help you?"
“Well, I sure hope so!” Chipper for someone walking through the doors of Devil May Cry of all places, but Johnny is seldom anything but. A smile sits bright and wide on the curve of his mouth, creasing his dark old eyes as he lays down a file on the other man’s desk. “I’ve got one hell of a case for you guys, sweetheart. Normally I have a private “cleaner” take care of this kinda thing for me but um...he’s been out of town for a while now. And I hear you guys are the best in the business around here!”
“Money no object! Willing to pay a real juicy premium if you can get it done fast too. I’ve had a pack of...” His smile falters, bewilderment knitting his brow for one staggered pause before his shoulders tilt with an exaggerated shrug. “Eh, I don’t know what they are, actually!--I figure they’re nothing you can’t handle, but listen--they’ve been tearin’ up my end of town for weeks, and I’m waaay too old to get out there and take care of it myself. My lawn’s gonna be torn to bits by time the month’s out at this rate...”
A ringed hand offers itself over the desk, cordial and inviting as that smile dawns bold on his mouth once more. “Haha, sorry! Just look at me getting all carried away, huh? I’m getting rude in my old age too. My name’s Johnny. Nice to meet ya.”
❝ Oh my, does this mean you are available for a night out? Like a girls night except you’re not a girl ——- but still equally as fun? Say yes. ❞
“Oh, I dunno. Maybe you can buy a little time from me. How about you tell me what ya got in mind? If it sounds like fun, maybe I’ll tag along.”
❝ Nothing wrong with that. Though I suppose it oftentimes gets a little demanding, is that right? ❞
“I think I prefer it. Can’t spend my whole life cooped up indoors, y’know? A guy’s gotta live a little. Even if that means the job can get tough.”
❝ Yes, yes you are and a right exhilarating one at that. ❞
“Ha. Figures. Guess I got too good a reputation as a guy that’s out to show the world a good time, huh?”
[Too tired to rp anything substantial but I peek my head in anyway]
❝ Perhaps. Best make an even better impression this time. ❞ Of course he remembered Johnny perfectly. But admitting so would ruin the flirtatious atmosphere. Alucard is thoroughly enjoying the banter as his eyes raked over Johnny’s form. Brazen, walking before him like this. Bold, and not unpleasant. The form did not matter. Gender did not matter. Alucard was far too old for such things. The hold on his chin did not bother Alucard as he merely meets Johnny’s eyes. ❝ A drink and some fun. That would satisfy me. ❞
Alucard is the first to break from the hold, only to toss his gaze towards the spectacular house where a fun time was guaranteed. ❝ My appetite is thoroughly worked. But feel free to further it. ❞
“Better make sure you remember me next time, huh? Till it leaves you aching inside when you’re waiting for another taste of me.” He laughs--the sound is gleeful as always beneath its rich and sultry veneer as the vampire’s hand slides with pointed suggestion along the slope of Alucard’s neck. His head tilts, dark eyes peering from under the heavy swathe of his lashes as his grin widens just so. “Sounds a little cruel when you say it out loud, really. But I think that’s half the fun, don’t you? When you want something so bad it hurts.”
A huff; and then Johnny strolls aside, pulling on the sheer, short cut of a robe over the glisten of his skin. Hardly worth wearing, concealing almost nothing as he leads the way inside, and worn for seemingly nothing more than the sake of teasing as he casts an impish gaze over one broad shoulder. “Come on, don’t you wanna excite me a little first? Why don’t you tell me what kind of ‘fun’ you were hoping after?” A wink, one hand combing the dark of his hair aside from his slim neck. “Maybe I’ll give you a reward, if you’re honest with me.”
❝ A shame. I liked him. I could’ve invited him into my golden land. Alas he is a prude. Not half as fun as you are. I get the feeling he’s a bit of a wet rag. Yet, I find him interesting. Still, if he is indeed possessed by another, I cannot rip two lovers apart. That would be boorish and I am not that kind of witch. I cannot tear two lovers apart and change matters of the heart. I can only grant their blessings. ❞ A chuckle as a well manicured hand is brought to her chin. ❝ Still… It seems I am not exactly your taste either. How lonely is the witch who chases after what she cannot have. ❞
A chuckle as her head tilts to the side. ❝ Though I’ve been told I am not very lady like. You’d think I’d be right up your ally. Hihyahahahaha. ❞ Her undignified laugh reels its ugly head as Beatrice takes the hint and then some, winking back. No harm, no offense to the Golden Witch’s pride. ❝ Still, if you are inviting me, then I will accept. We can certainly drink and dance the night away as comrades ——– nay, friends. ❞
“Sweetheart, you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone as fun as I am around here. Seems nobody has any idea how to have a good time anymore! And Mathias--well, he’s sure no party animal, you got that right. Not unless its between him and his honey, I guess. But that’s their business. And I’m not in the habit of homewrecking much either.” For all his airs of hunger, after all, Johnny has never had anything but a feeling heart. Young lovers are always best left alone (and Johnny will pretend away whatever quiet envy they always inspire.) His smile redoubles its efforts, cigarette rolled to the corner of his mouth as he lets out a supposedly thoughtful hum.
“Oh, I dunno so much. Some people think the chase is all the fun by itself.” A shrug lifts his broad shoulders, eyes narrowed with mirth as he lifts himself from his momentary perch--seems someone’s all but raring to go.
“Maybe in another life, huh? But let’s worry about the present. I know a great neighbourhood for some parties you’ll never forget, and I’m ready when you are to head on out. Drinks on me~”
ll@knightstrayed || Got Alu’s mouth wide open at the dentist
The sheer tone of Johnny’s words is enough to force lips back, revealing sharpend canines. A chuckle, dark, eyes darkened with a desire. Hunger, raw and untamed. Tongue is run over the pointed edge of those fangs. Alucard is all but drooling as his gaze consumes Johnny’s form, attractive, sensual in a way. A grin, a purr even as he takes a single step forward. A predator raking his eyes over his chosen prey. Not to hunt and kill, but to toy and enjoy.
❝ Remind me of how fun you are. This time, I do not come to drink your blood. But I will always accept a meal. ❞ A smirk. ❝ I will always be grateful for your hospitality. ❞
“That so...? Must not have made a good impression the first time, if you need me to refresh your memory. Ha. That’s pretty bad form on my part. Maybe I really should make it up to you, yeah?” Implication drips heavy from that cunning smile, sweet and full and rich as he steps from the water to the marble patterning the poolside. His voice grows warm with laughter, filling the night’s bottomless quiet as he saunters in brazen, deliberate display till he sways close, closer, ever closer. A single hand rises, shining wet in the cool whisper of moonlight between them as it takes the vampire’s chin into firm (suggestive) hold in his languid stride.
“I don’t think just a drink would cut it this time, anyway. Not unless I work up your appetite first. But hey. I’m getting a little ahead of myself. Why don’t you come inside?”
"I find my self among dull company given how snobbish this area is. Tell me you are not equally as dull as the company kept around these parts. I hunger for more stimulating experiences."
MOUTH WIDE OPEN || @vampirege
“Wow~ Been a while since I saw you last, handsome. All the rich neighbours must be real boring if you’ve come here lookin’ for little old me, huh? Come on, I’m not gonna believe you’ve forgotten what a fun ride I am already. No need to be shy, Alucard. You can say it out loud.” Humour paints him up in every inch of that impish expression as he combs back the wet shine of his hair and widens the challenging heat of his smile. Roguish, daring, and every fathomable kind of a tease as he winks to the other across the way. “You miss me? Or do I really need to stimulate you a little before you admit it? Ahh, you sure are naughty, making me work for it like this…”
❝ Hooh? Are you acquainted with Mathias? ❞ A chuckle. ❝ I find him to be quite easy on the eyes, but I get the feeling he’s turned off by my mouth. Sorry Mathias, I only know how to talk like a ruffian. ❞ Another chuckle as the witch once more lets the pipe linger between her lips. ❝ I’m afraid, that it really is true —— only men who can stomach a woman with a foul mouth and sharp tongue will come for me —– mad ones included —— like Ushiromiya Kinzo. He’s quite the unfortunate one and spent all his magical talents searching for ways to make me submit to his heel. ❞
But even this conversation is thrilling in that there’s a pleasant smile drifting across Beatrice’s face. ❝ I’ve lived a thousand years but the tastes of men have not changed. However, the times have ——- and the days of women being subservient to men are long since past. However, even I find it thrilling to be quite taken by a man who knows how to excite and thrill with a bit on control. All things in moderation. ❞ Perhaps no one would believe those words which slipped from the golden witch’s mouth. Given she was quite the rowdy witch and untameable.
A sparkle now sets in her eye. ❝ But you look like you would be a night of fun. I wonder if you too will be enchanted by my golden sparkle? ❞
“Sure I do! Known that guy and his little friend for a hell of a long time! But you know how us vampires are, everyone seems to know everyone--especially those of us from the old world. Small world, like I said. But yeah. Oh yeah. He’s handsome alright, ain’t he? A real looker. Kind of a prude though, and that’s no good for the likes of me. No good for the likes of you either, by the sounds of it, huh?” Unsurprising, in every sense of the word. But the words seem to better fuel that persistent sense of mirth underpinning the entire conversation as the vampire snickers behind his cigarette, broad shouldrs tilting with every sultry hum of deep, dulcet laughter.
“Me? Oh, I’m fun alright. This old man’s got some life in him yet, if you wanna join me at some of my old haunts. Even though my tastes run exclusively in the masculine.” A wink lids one dark eye, smoke seeping from the part in his smile as he tilts his head to one side in an expression of coyness that can be nothing other than feigned. “Doesn’t mean I can’t show you a good time in some other kinda way, right? Night’s still young, if you wanna try some of the clubs up in snob hill~”
You ever think about the fact Johnny was also a knight and laugh
