Kersen sometimes did this thing where when he was feeling his worst, he tried to look his best. Elaborate drag when he was the most down, for example. Like maybe he could force cheerfulness with sequins and lipstick.

This time, he couldn't seem to muster up the energy for drag, though. What "look" said 'I just found out a lover is a serial killer'? Particularly coupled with 'what does this say about my taste in men'? Finally, he'd just gone with the forced cheerfulness: dark purple leather pants and a shirt (gifted to him by an employee years ago) that read OF COURSE I'M PRO-GAY, DO YOU THINK I WORK THIS HARD TO BE AN AMATEUR GAY in bright rainbow colors.

... also he'd started smoking again. Which was a little ironic since he was pretty sure that any effect they had on him was purely psychosomatic.

However, at the moment he was having a smoke break outside his bar. It was fairly early yet, just past 9pm. The streets were still full, lively with people leaving restaurants and shops, heading into bars and theaters. He liked this time of night, where the world was still alive. Wished he could experience more of it.

Some asshole walking by threw a homophobic slur at him, and he was briefly, stupidly tempted to flash his fangs as a threat. Instead he said, "The most fabulous you'll ever see, honey," and flicked the cigarette to the ground. Luckily it was the cowardly sort of asshole, and he just stuck up his middle finger and kept walking.

Winter was videoing himself with his phone, chatting away about what he'd done that day- But then there had been loud voices, and he'd sighed as he turned off the camera for now. He'd have to re-record that bit later.

"Excuse you, I'm vlogging here," the pixie peeped.

Vlogging was a good word. Vlog. Vlogging. He could say that all day.

Fin was drunk and a bit high, having been tempted out for a night of club hopping by a producer on the show he was filming for the beeb. However, the producer had lost interest when it had become apparent that Fin wasn't interested in putting out, no matter how high he got him, and Fin was slowly making his way home now.

He'd missed most of the exchange, but he slowed as he spotted Kersen, coming up behind him and speaking softly in his ear.

"Most fabulous what?" he purred, resting his chin on the vampire's shoulder and humming happily to himself.

The only reason Michael didn't deck the bloke was because they were right outside Kersen's bar, and he did not want to draw the police here. So as he walked across from the homophobe, he only glared at him, daring him to say something else. His body language eased somewhat as he reached Kersen. "Nice shirt," he deadpanned.

Bonnie had gotten nervous being inside the bar on her own. It wasn't a place she was used to. She'd tried telling herself that she was safe, but hadn't been able to quell the rising sense of panic. So she'd gone to find Kersen. Not that being around the person who'd killed her was particularly comforting, but he was the most familiar thing nearby.

She'd just peeked out the door at first, then gone the rest of the way out of the building so she wouldn't be in anyone's way. She stood close to the entrance, quietly and nervously watching him.

Really, it was too chilly to be wearing so little -- jeans and a silky, bell-sleeve grey top that didn't fully cover her hips, with a long vest over to provide a little warmth -- and quite the wrong season to be wearing a pink fedora on her black curls. Angelique didn't care, of course, because she loved pink. It was like her signature color red, but... casual.

Her hips swung as she made her way toward Jazzmin, having decided to surprise Kersen and perhaps convince him to spend the evening with her. She was just in time to hear some wanker shout out Fucking fairy in Kersen's direction, and decided in a snap to show him up.

"Hello, baby," Angelique declared, loud enough to carry, and pushed up on her toes (though she didn't really need to) to plant a kiss on Kersen's mouth.
