Following that other one... [video]

If there are any kids- both big and small- who don't want to be alone right now, I'm making hot chocolate and blanket forts in the dining room.

Also, bring a blanket.

Creed pulls his hat down over his face. "You'd be surprised at what people might do." He rumbles, keeping an ear on the people in the car, and the people coming in. He doesn't like this. He needs to be able to go smell who this might be, but the kids are more important.

"Not really... Not much surprises me about humans..." Maru sighed heavily and closed his eyes. When it came to their capacity for bad, no, he wasn't surprised. He'd lived for a long enough time to see some of the worst that humanity had to offer. And yet he was convinced that he was the monster. Go figure.

Creed's blue eyes peek open and look at Maru. "I ain't human." He says, closing his eye again, and settling in to wait. Honestly, he doubts anything will happen, but he feels better, being a menace.

A little kitty shrug and a lazy yawn.

"Neither am I." He had once. A long, long, long time ago. But not anymore.

Creed rumbles out a chuckle. "Didn't expect you to be." He stretches a bit.

"You always a cat?"

[sobothersome]

"Nope." And then, after a little kitty shrug, Maru shifted back to his human self in a little blue/black puff of smoke.

He sat on the table, legs crossed, blue jacket on and his hood up. The black fur lining looking very much like cat ears. "Guess I'm a vampire... kind of. But I like snacks, not blood... so I wonder sometimes."

Creed doesn't even blink. Now, if he grew a spaded tail and started teleporting, then Creed might blink. But now? He's willing to accept just about everything.

"Vampire, huh?" Creed shrugs. "It's a living, I guess."

Maru gave him a weird look and leaned back some. "Was... was that a joke?" It sounded like a joke. A really bad dad joke. This guy hadn't seemed like the type!

[thebetterweapon]

Creed's grin is all fangs. Was it a joke? Was it? He's sure as hell not going to say, because Creed is a troll and a jackass. He stretches. "Was it a joke?" He sips the coffee that was at his side. He's not going to make it easy for anyone to tell if he's joking or not.

Maru looked at him oddly, then shrugged.

"It doesn't really matter." It was so bothersome trying to work out the secret meanings behind what people said or did. Joke or not, it was an odd one, because he was very much alive.
