Journal & Action

-1 : Journal-

You know, I'm a little shocked. I know I'm a cold-yet-spicy, and I know my breath smells like alcohol and cigarettes, but here we are at a theme park, the perfect place for a date, and I've been going around it all my lonesome.

Come now, ladies, gentlemen. In this age, when's the next time you'll get to go on a theme park date?

-2 : Action-

[On a prior night, Loraine is in a tacky aquarium themed bar in Fairy Park, colors of blue and purple luvdiscs everywhere. A mermaid costumed beauty sits halfway out of a tank, mixing drinks. She's drinking some kind of red, blended drink. She seems ... thoughtful. Perhaps the liquor has put a downer on her mood tonight.]

This place is tacky as all get out, but... no one here seems to much for want.

[She stares over at a grand piano, which she considers desecrated by all of the decorations, making it look like a giant clam with black and white musical teeth.]

... I wonder if they need a pianist.

I was still a doctor.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Huh, cool.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

It's a family trade, but really I don't care to talk about work.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Me neither.

Still, doctoring's not the worst profession out there.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

I'm a doctor because I know what I'm doing, not because I'm a good person.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Huh...conversely, I'm a soldier of fortune because I'm good at it.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

It must be hard, risking your life for your daily bread.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

[Well this is unexpected.]

Well...usually it wasn't that difficult. There were only a few jobs we had serious trouble on, and only one where we lost someone.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

But you killed people.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

[Roads is going to stare into the vast depths of his shot glass.]

Yes. Yes I did.

Lot of good people, too.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

That's a hard job.

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Pay's good.

[Roads downs a shot.]

Not good enough, though.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

... if that's how you feel, why do you do it?

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

Did it, you mean. I quit.

[heliotropesmoke.livejournal.com]

So what do you do on the chalice then?

[punches-vamps.livejournal.com]

So far, fix things and shoot giant monsters in the face.

It's a bit different, to say the least.

You ever consider trying to get a job here? Seems like a good gig. I'm sure they need mechanics...
