Who: UltraWarden Kol and OPEN
What: Hungry, but reluctantly moral, vampire goes exploring
When: Backdated to the 29th through the battle.
Where: All over the barge.

The advantage of being a (redeemed) vampire on a barge that's falling apart and low on supplies is that he doesn't need to consume the sort of food other people need.

The disadvantage is that he very much needs blood. Lack of blood wouldn't kill him, but he has no doubt he'd kill his fellow passengers and he'd be killed in return. Even if that weren't the case, he'd prefer to keep his mind functioning.

So, blood.

Most of it coming from those other passengers, via arrangement of some type or another. Alan's been particularly good (and enjoyable), but any who'd agree have certainly been a food source.

And he's still half starved.

His first stop when he finds himself on this new barge is the dining hall. Where he takes a literal pile of bags to a table, sits down and drinks. He's not sloppy about it, but he is very very efficient at draining the things. From there he starts moving blood back to his cabin on the other ship. He feels no guilt about it.

Once that's done he's more... expansive in his exploration of the ship. It isn't really exploration, of course, but he takes full advantage of the amenities. Goes back to the dining hall frequently for both food as others recognize it, and blood, visits the pub and drinks (heavily), the library and reads (heavily) , the pool where he swims (a lot), every last damn common room-

and wanders the halls, idly wondering if stealing an inmate for Alan would really be wrong.

And if he cares.

It would be very wrong and Alan would greatly disagree with it even if he would, eventually, decide to help rehabilitate them.

...but it wouldn't be any kind of deal breaker.

It has been a few years, after all.

When he finds Kol, it's in the dining hall, and it's the stockpiling that has him noticing that it's back to being his Kol. It has him walking up and slipping a hand on the other man's shoulder before letting his fingers slide along the side of his throat. It's a greeting.

Tris raises her eyebrows at the armful of blood bags, but she realizes this isn't the Kol she knows almost instantly.

"There's a shortage of that too," she says. It isn't a question. "Would you like a hand?"

[personal profile] stormandwind 2017-06-05 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)

She nods, then uses her skirt as a makeshift basket, scooping blood bags into it so she doesn't drop any on their way back to the other ship.

"I'm Tris," she tells him. "I'm friends with the version of you from this Barge." As they turn to go, Zeph and Chime come flying over from the corner of the dining hall where they were getting into trouble, the dragon perching on one of her shoulders and the monkey construct on the other.

Tris is fluent in unspoken 'what the hell is that,' and she'll answer the question regardless of whether he actually put it properly into words. "Chime was created in a glassblower's magical accident. She's made of glass and assorted spells, with lightning for blood. Zeph is a construct made by one of my fellow passengers. He becomes a containment field if something causes me to lose control of my magic. Like a portable ward."

She leans her head to the side slightly in an affectionate nudge to the bright green monkey.

For the most part, Nico's been doing his best to avoid the people from the other barge. It's not too different from his usual routine, his natural tendency is to avoid people in general, but he's even more on edge from the potential danger of both the... new arrivals and what their presence might mean in general.

But he hesitates when he sees someone who looks like Kol in the library, unsure for a second whether it's the one he knows or not and unable to completely suppress his curiosity.

And after all the time he's spent in the library, he's starting to get a feel for how to find things. "Uh, are you looking for anything specific?"

[personal profile] oddswerebad 2017-06-06 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe. I found some fiction that's not from Earth...?" He's not sure if that means it'd be new to Kol, depending on the other barge's library, but at least maybe there was more of chance. Or, "Uh, what year are you from?"

[personal profile] oddswerebad 2017-06-06 01:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Years before Nico, not that that really means anything. "It's not exactly sorted that way but there's stuff from after that too..." Right, introductions, he knows how to do that, following the pattern Cate had shown him. "Nico. Nice to meet you."

Buffy's wandering a lot now too. This whole alternative versions of people I like thing is really messing with her head and walking is good for the clearing the mind. At least, she's been told that. So far she's just found it to be good for walking, but what does she know.

"Kol," she greets with a slight nod of her head.
heyidiedtwice: (awkward)

[personal profile] heyidiedtwice 2017-06-07 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
She nods. She's been getting that a lot lately. "Buffy. Summers. I ... know the Kol here." Which was obvious, she figures, but felt like it had to be said.

[personal profile] heyidiedtwice 2017-06-09 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm hoping they'll show up again. But I guess... thanks."

She can understand the meaning of the comment, even if it is put across a bit blunt.

Quicksilver is doing much the same thing, though his plate is piled with actual food. He's been on strict rations for months, and though he complains a hell of a lot, he's never complained about that, even though his metabolism must make the limited food supplies even more hellish for him than it is for the rest of them.

He does smirk a little at Kol's plate. "Stockpiling, huh?"

Well, he can, but even as desperate as things are on their home Barge, nobody's quite resorted to cannibalism. Yet.

"Yeah, what's not perishable anyway." And he is focusing on high fat, high protein non-perishables for his stockpile. He needs to get the most he can out of the space he has.

"Sure, so long as we do a bit of tit for tat." He can help haul blood, and that means he's not left owing any favors.

He's not the only one to hit the pub. While Tesla can - and has! - done without wine before, he much prefers to not have to. Plus he can't exactly turn down the appeal of being able to sit down somewhere on a ship that isn't half-way to whatever the equivalent of being sunk is for ships like the Barge. To be able to relax even for a moment and even if he can't get drunk, he can at least enjoy some decent wine.

And perhaps some decent company besides. He might not really have been seeking Kol out specifically, but he certainly isn't going to complain about running into him, and he makes his way over without a second thought.

"It's been a while, hasn't it."

Since they last had access to a bar that was even halfway decent, he means, although given that he's aware that there are sometimes alternate versions of themselves on the Barge that has been kind enough to stop by he's taking a bit of a risk that this is actually the right Kol. But he figures it probably isn't going to hurt too much if he's gotten the wrong one.
