has anybody seen a change of clothes somewhere in this dump? would love to have an option besides what i died in

black preferred but as long as it isn't hot pink i'll consider it

gym shorts would be really uncomfortable at the beach, with all that sand. [lol] got it.

are you not weirded out by the fact that you died before getting here? how... are you handling that?
i'm not trying to be rude, but if you don't want to answer that's okay too.

[vampirella]

leather pants are officially worse on a beach, and that's what i've got right now

it's not great. but i'm trying not to dwell on it until these dispensers start throwing out vodka.

i knew what i was doing. that changes things.

( the last time she died, she had no say in it. she'd definitely freaked out that time. a second death on her own terms centuries later? the edge is dulled a little bit. )

[vanguarda]

i don't even wanna imagine that, seriously.

you chose wanting to die?[well, not entirely too different of a boat here, but—] hey, so what's your take on this place bringing us here even if we're dead? i mean, i know i died too.

[vampirella]

exactly. all the more reason to be a hero and find me something else. maybe i'll even owe you one

in a valiant fit of stupidity, sure. the big damn hero thing isn't all it's cracked up to be, but i really didn't think i'd be stuck in the kink thunderdome after.

( she would have rather been actually dead, which is too depressing to admit to a stranger. )

oh yeah? how is death treating you? or are you also waiting for the vodka? ( she can't blame him — your first death is always a bitch. ) desperate people with nothing left to go back to are easier to coerce into doing what you want them to, i'd imagine.

[vanguarda]

you think? being a hero isn't too bad to aim for. i guess it depends on perception.

[being a hero is all he's ever wanted to be!]

the sexy afterlife wasn't what i was expecting either, though.

and... i don't know, it feels about the same as when i was alive. just trying to get used to the idea. not sure i like how much time it's giving me to think about those i can't see again, or got to say goodbye to. ask me again in a few days!

i'm zack, by the way. [well, that's obvious] might as well make friends while we're at it.

[vampirella]

again, considering my reward was being trapped here? definitely not worth it

( she talks a big game, since she's particularly sour she's separated from the reason she pulled the heroic vampire crap in the first place. but... if it came down to doing it again, or something happening to laura...

she'd do it again. but she's far too proud, and currently annoyed, to admit it. )

well, zack, sounds like you need to find a hobby to keep your mind busy. may i suggest convincing these stupid machines to cough up something alcoholic

carmilla. ( usually she's more cagey about her name, but literally, what's the point. it's impossible for hundreds of years of history to follow her here. )

[vanguarda]

a hobby, exactly! i'm thinking of stuff, but finding clothes even if it might be a hopeless endeavor sounds like a good place to start.

besides, don't we have to "follow our purpose" for them to give us stuff worth writing home about? the canned food is getting a little too bland even for me.

in any case. if no one else has done it, welcome to the dead club, carmilla. members: you and me. so far.

[landing,, jokes..,]

[vampirella]

apparently so. start checking stuff off your bingo card if you want anything worthwhile out of the dispensers

can't say i'm interested in fooling around at the demands of someone else, though. not even for new pants.

i've been in worse clubs. in fact, i'm declaring myself president. might as well grab the positions of power while we're the only members.

[vanguarda]

you hit the nail right on the head.

[new pants aren't worth getting new pants for. are they supposed to go to the bonezone anytime they want something? man.]

alright, boss! you call the shots.
i do much better taking orders, so i'll just support you the rest of the way.

[it's a good way to look at their death situation.]

[vampirella]

i'll keep that in mind. we undead need to stick together, right?

( uncomfortably accurate in her case, maybe not in his. unless Zack is also a vampire?? i don't know if the remake went that wild... )

guess who barely exists anymore ✌️sorry for super late.. decide my fate, it's okay

[vanguarda]

that should be the first rule!

[a sense of camaraderie, he likes that!]

[the remake is a whole different ball of shenanigans that this zack is not constrained to, at least.]

do we get to meet on a particular day and have pizza or something?

OH MOOD... no worries, take your time!!!

[vampirella]

that's a great idea, except for the fact these dispensers won't put out shit unless it's something you'd see in a porno

...actually maybe they will give pizza

( since that's a favorite bit, and everything.... )

[vanguarda]

we won't know unless we try asking! either way, we'll find a way. no matter the odds.

[how's that for optimism]

[vampirella]

( yeah that's an ungodly amount of optimism, how does the most negative nancy ever always end up surrounded by these positive sunshine children??? )

that's a lot of emotional investment in pizza, cutie

[vanguarda]

it's been five years since i've had pizza so, you know, whatever it takes.

[vampirella]

yikes. strict diet, or is someone in your world taking a really strong stance on pizza?

[vanguarda]

let's put it down to a really strict diet. maybe i'll share the story some time.

[vampirella]

you like to keep a girl on her toes, huh?

fair enough, the mystery of your pizza deprivation persists. for now.
