Who: Frankie and Malakai When: Thursday night, late Where: starting at the den where she works What: A hellhound walks into a bar... (come up with your own punchline!)
Frankie had mixed feelings about being back at work. The place shut down during the blizzard, so it wasn't like she had been in any trouble for missing all those days. No one, not even vampires, wanted to be out in that shit. But now that life was getting back to normal, the undead were getting back to their routines as well. She got the call from her boss the night before, telling her she needed to get her butt back to work Thursday.
The best part about her job was the temperature. Because vampires weren't big fans of the cold either, the den was always delightfully warm. She relished the feeling. It was still horribly cold outside, and she wasn't looking forward to the end of her shift for that reason alone. Everything else about work pretty much sucked. Sleezy vamps kept hitting on her or trying to get her to let them feed on her. She did her best to keep everything Ava taught her in mind, pushing back when they got grabby, establishing that she was not the sort of woman they could fuck with. She even threatened them with with handfuls of flames when necessary. Most of the men found it amusing and backed off.
Tonight was especially rowdy though. It seemed the regulars were grumpy from being away for so long, and they were giving Frankie more grief than normal. Her feet ached from running like mad around in heels, trying to meet their demands. But then, without warning, her customers all got very nervous. A number of them were looking around with unmistakable fear in their eyes. Some even got up and hurried for the exit. Frankie had no idea what was going on until she saw a familiar face stroll into the den. Well then.. that was odd. A hellhound.
The sprite strolled over to him, feeling a little uncomfortable to run into someone she knew wearing her uniform, but Malakai had seen her naked, so she supposed this was considered a great deal of clothing. "You just scared away all my customers before they could tip me. Thanks a lot."
