A Vampire's Conundrum

Theresa was grouchy.

While Halloween was a favorite time of year for her, the same could not be said of Christmas, which just reminded her of when she was still human and living with her parents. There was a reason she had started to run away. And the holiday music just made it worse.

Things at the Dive had been going all right. The New Year's Eve show was being put together, and she'd discreetly made sure that The Frayed Nerves would be playing later in the set this year. There had been some griping, but she'd smoothed it over before Mike could get wind of it.

Not that she had returned Maddy's phone call. She'd listened to the message repeatedly, but never called the other brunette back. Now that it had been so long, trying to make contact again would probably make her look weird. But when she was weird, maybe that wasn't so bad.

She knew the reasons she was blocked about it, which was why she was knocking on Daniel's door tonight. She'd deliberately been walking a wide circle around his neighborhood on the off chance that she might run into Holly, but she'd done some recon earlier and found the mortal not around. Maybe they were on the outs too?

“No, actually,” he held up a finger and dropped the remote control in the process. It bounced off his kneecap and into Theresa’s turf, “I got a job at Ragnarok. You are looking at the club’s newest bouncer. I had to wheel and deal with the boss on my uniform. She actually suggested a jewel-encrusted speedo. I had to convince her that it would be taking the word ‘bouncer’ way too literally. Balls just…” He made a hand-to-hand juggling motion. “Flying around.” He squinted an eye. “You know, I think she may have just been fucking with me, now that I’m telling you this. Anyway, once D finds out I’m employed, she’ll shit a brick.”
