tavern (chance to relax))

I sit up straight on the stool and wave excitedly. "Hey there Shiro~!"

*My attention turns to Shiro asI drop Chickorita but remain holding the bottle of Scotch*

Hello.... I'm Kumiko, have we met yet?

*Opening his eyes, he looks at Kumiko blankly, blinking repeatedly with a lost look.*

I'm not sure. I'd think i would remember ya.

Hello *Bows to Shiro* I'm Riza Akahana... I's nice to meet you. *I Stand up straight and I continue to walk toward Sadi* I really hate doing this in public, but I am really hungry. *I sink my fangs into Sadi's neck* *I let go and I quietly walk back to my seat* Thank you so much, Sadi.

*I laugh slightly at Shiro*

You have now, so you can remember it this time.

*I smile as I take a sip of scotch outta the bottle*

I grimace behind my mask and pat the spot on my neck. "Aiyah...Didja hafta get the neck..." I rub the area a bit longer and tap the counter. The bartender comes and refills my glass of strawberry juice as I sigh. "Meh...You're welcome though." I take the glass from him and slide it under my mask, sipping at the beverage once more.

Riza, can't you just take blood from already dead people and store it? Wouldn't that terminate the need to "suck" it.

*Notcing what Riza had just done, Shiro looks from her to Sadi then walks over to sit down next to Sadi.*

That's an interesting thirst there. You two know each other?

I never thought of that, Thanks Aeon.
*To Shiro* I am a vampire. I suck blood so I can survive.

There is one problem with that Aeon... All the dead bodies are buried in Zero's backyard, he would kill her for going in there.

Well, not if someone talked to him about the situation.

I scratch my cheek at Shiro's question, inwardly gagging at Aeon's suggestion. "Um...Not really. Just met recently actually..."

I really wish that I could eat human food at times like that.

*Laughing at Riza's explanation, Shiro then turns to Sadi.*

Friends with a vampire. Now I've seen everything here.

I tilt my head at Shiro's comment and look at him with questioning eyes? "Have you seen zombies?"

*Bows to Shiro* I'm sorry if I offended you.

*Shiro smiles as he looks at Riza scratching the back of his head.*

Oh no not at all. None taken.

*He then looks at Sadi with the same blinking look he gave Kumiko.*

Zombies... Uhmm.. No. Why do you ask?

My eyes gleam mischievously at his answer. "Would you like to see some?"

Sure..?

Zombies? Seriously?

I nod. "Yup. I'm technically not spose to be using the Bennu's abilities like that, but Bennu-sama is a phoenix so I have slight regeneration powers. Which means, dead people have the possibility to come back to life. Which means zombies. There were a bunch running around Heliopolis. One ran the farmer's market actually...Wonder how he's doing..."

I'm done biting humans for now.

*I laugh slightly* Interesting enough.

Yet not surprizing. With everything we've seen, I'd believe anything.

*He laughs as he waves for the bartender to get his usual lemonade.*

I cross my legs atop the stool and sip at my juice. "Unfortunately...This place desensitizes a person I think. Too many strange things are norm. Not enough surprises. So...so...drab."
