All right. We're havin' an event at Merlotte's. It's been too damn long and I've missed the big ones, so I'm decidin' right now that one's happening. ....Wednesday. There, it's decided. M'callin' it "Take Back The Night". There'll be live music and drink specials and all sorts of good times. Just for fun, it'll be a semi-formal theme.

We're also still hirin' for a number of positions, and I'm in need of an assistant manager in a pretty bad way. Come on in for an interview any day this week between 2 an' 4.

[reaching over to shut off the monitor. Stops. Squints.]

...And I'd just like to say to certain unnamed parties that I taste just fine, so fuck you.

Nobody's bit me, if that's what you're worried about.

voice;

[axemeaquestion]

["Phew"] Okay, good. ... wait, so why are you offended that whoever said this doesn't wanna bite you, now?

voice;

[shifting]

I'm just... defendin' my honor. Somethin' like that. I don't know.

voice;

[axemeaquestion]

So you're defending how good you taste.

[Spoken in that "that is kind of stupid" way.]

voice;

[shifting]

Don't say it like that.

[you know: like how it is]

voice;

[axemeaquestion]

Like how it is?

Re: voice;

At least dress it up a little.

voice;

[axemeaquestion]

It still sounds kind of stupid--sorry, Sam.

voice;

[shifting]

Nah, it's fine. I'm startin' to think the same after listenin' to myself.

voice;

[axemeaquestion]

It's okay. I can let you off this time.

voice;

[shifting]

You're a saint.

voice;

[axemeaquestion]

You're damn right. If I wasn't, I'd be giving you a lot more shit. [SNRK.] So, uh. Out of curiousity now, who said you tasted bad now?

voice;

[shifting]

Eric. Vampire from my world and Jackass Extraordinaire.

voice;

[axemeaquestion]

You guy got vampires too, huh? So how's he a Jackass Extraordinaire?

voice;

[shifting]

They're a pretty big deal where I'm from, yeah. They're the only supernatural creature everybody knows exists. They've got their own hotel chains.

Try a conversation with him sometime.

voice;

[axemeaquestion]

... oh god. I better not tell the Francis from my home.

I think I might be good if he's gonna talk about how I taste.

voice;

[shifting]

Afraid of vampires?

Might be best.

voice;

[axemeaquestion]

Oh no. He just hates them. And thinks the zombies are vampires. And asked us if we were vampires when our groups met up.

I'd say so. That's skeevy enough even if there weren't any vampires.

voice;

[shifting]

Damn straight.

voice;

[axemeaquestion]

If I could, I'd high five you.
