“exactly !! no one can get to you when you’re wearing designer.” 

          barbara didn’t even notice anyone was around, idly checking herself in the mirror. her fangs glinted in the light slightly, though she did her best to pretend she still had human teeth.

Kat was a little BUZZED. Jack Daniels coursed through her veins. Cigarettes made her breath stale. She stood outside the gates to the  old radio tower, hands wrapping around the iron bars. “Y’know, they say this tower’s haunted,” she slurred with a lopsided grin. “I double dog dare you to go inside!!”

            barbara’s head perked up at the sound of some kind of ruckus below, unsure if there was some kind of struggle or whoever was down there was just being rowdy. she frowned, hopping down onto the fire escape above. ‘is there something going on here?’

“SORRY, sorry---!           We can talk when you’re dressed.                I’ll just, uh, wait---out---here.”

“Listen, if you’re trying to scare me, it’s not gonna work.” She stares up at the vampire. She knows what it is. She’s not ignorant. She hates being played for the naive teenage girl who ignores the blatant signs of ominous paranormal activity. “So, if you could stop... Y’know. Loitering around here, that’d be nice.” She cants her head to the side and flashes the other a hooded glare. “I know what you are,” she says. “But don’t worry! Your secret is safe with me. Don’t wanna get bit or whatever for snitching. Not like anyone would believe me.” Kat stuffs her hands in her pockets. “...So, are you gonna come in and buy something or just stand and stare?”

The trouble with having bright hair was that Benji could never tell when someone was staring because it genuinely shocked them, or because they recognized him from magazines or interviews. He arched a brow at his spectator. “You want a picture or somethin’?”
