As strange as the last day or two had been Nikola had found no problem adjusting to shipboard life. The level of technology aboard was fascinating, the strange creatures reminded him of the other abnormals that he knew, and the bar had a decent enough selection of wine. In fact, it was the from the bar that Tesla was returning from, a half empty bottle in one hand and a glass of wine in the other. The scenic stroll was brought to abrupt end as he entered the Mar-Vell Memorial Park. All hope of enjoying a quiet morning slipped away as he found himself gazing at a horde of zombies and what appeared to be a talking raccoon. With a sigh Nikola pressed on, slipping through the masses with relative ease and inhuman speed, his hand keeping his glass balanced to avoid spilling a drop. He had managed to make it halfway across the park without any issue but when one of the undead managed to get a hand on his ankle Tesla stumbled a tad.
The sound of the glass and bottle shattering on the floor rang out, but it was the sound of his shouting that suddenly followed. "YOU MINDLESS SACKS OF MEAT! I WAS SAVING THAT WINE TIL THIS EVENING!!" Without warning Nikola's eyes went black and his features took on a far more feral appearance, even elongated black claws sprang forth as the man's anger reached it's pinnacle. He had been quite content to leave the undead alone, but the wine stain on the bottom of his slacks was the last straw. Ignoring the swarm of undead that was rapidly closing in, the vampire turned his focus to the one zombie that had caused the accident. Without hesitation Tesla grabbed the creature's skull and with a single swift motion the zombies head was cleanly ripped free from it's shoulder's. With a chuckle Nikola cast it aside and turned his gaze to the things drawing close. "Shall we play?"
A wake of destruction followed where the vampire danced, and while the reanimated corspes had sheer numbers they lacked the strength and speed that came with being...well being Nikola. Granted his suit would need to be pressed and dry cleaned, but for the moment he was having a genuinely enjoyable time. It wasn't every day that he could just let off some steam like this, yet the sudden sight of Kate shifted his mood altogether. Where a moment ago this had just been a game, now Tesla found himself concerned for her. Had she been a stranger he could have possibly considered ignoring her but Kate was one of the few that he had spent any sort of time with...and he enjoyed that time. So with a sigh the vampire sprang over the horde, landing atop the skull of a zombie that was drawing to close to his companion. Without missing a beat the vampire straightened his tie, as his boot crushed the creature beneath it, and Nikola managed to wink at her as he spoke. "I knew you could not resist coming to see me again, but your timing seems to need a touch of work."
