Milli ~ recovery - day 5

[h2_muses]

Van Helsing spent a large part of the day sleeping... big lazy bum.

Beowulf seems to have slipped out of the room, but that's okay, Natalie's looking for him.

"Well yes. So that if they don't give us treats, we can trick them!" The two brothers laugh hysterically.
"Hey, why do you have weapons?"

[i_vanquish_evil]

He leans forward just a bit, eyes hard, that glower is back.

"I hunt and kill evil little creatures that taunt and hurt people," he tells them in a deep, harsh whisper.

"You're like that big-man-behind-the-bar the other day. You guys are weeeeird."

[i_vanquish_evil]

Still glowering.

"Which man behind the bar?"

[give-us-candy.livejournal.com]

"Well, I think the first one was Eddie. But I'm not sure. He's like you. He told us he'd shot us." Lock laughs.
"The second one I met was George. He gave me Yellow-Jacket Juice."

Barrel clasps his hands to his mouth.
"YELLOW-JACKET JUICE?!?!"

Lock suddenly realized what he had said, and who had heard it.

But Shock wasn't listening. Her eyes were stuck on Van Helsing. She had shrunk into the corner.

"Shock, c'mere. It's ok. Eddie's not gonna hurt you, and he sure as isn't going to hurt you."

[i_vanquish_evil]

"Don't be so sure."

He presses the trigger on the side of the object he picked up while they weren't paying attention and the silver stake extended to it's full length, just in front of the boys' faces. Close enough to startle, but not wound.

Connor was a very bad influence.

"WHOA!!! COOL! Is that a crossbow? We have one, but it doesn't have a silver stake in it. We don't want to hurt Hubert." Barrel pokes the tip of the stake.

[i_vanquish_evil]

"No," he states plainly. "This," he holds up the stake, "is just a silver stake." Probably a really bad move, but he does it anyway, he kicks the crossbow up from the floor into his grasp. It's BIG - weighs about 45lbs and is about 3 feet long and the bow's about 3 feet across. "This is the crossbow." He points it down at the two children addressing him, peering through the sights.

And he's absolutely positive Natalie is going to kill him for doing that.

[give-us-candy.livejournal.com]

Lock's jaw drops.
"THAT IS SO COOL!!!!"

He gets up reeeal close to the wrong end of the crossbow.
"Hubert has one. He said he got it from someone that tried to kill him with it."

[i_vanquish_evil]

He hefts the crossbow up onto his shoulder, still holding the trigger end with his left hand.

"You're not getting this one. And I'd suggest you not try to steal my weapons again. It's been known to be bad for one's health."

He doesn't mention that he is also master to a full-grown Irish wolfhound that has been trained to protect him by any means necessary.

Barrel rolls his eyes. Lock regards Van Helsing with annoyance. He shrugs.
"We've got some of our own anyway. You don't have anything we don't have."

[i_vanquish_evil]

"Oh, but I might. However, unless you return everything you were trying to sneak out of here with, I won't show you the stuff that you might not have."


Hey, it's weaponry - that is ALWAYS cool. And, they're bad kids, not EVIL kids - or, not so evil that he's gonna put them on the Order's 'get rid of these guys next' list.

A large pile of weaponry and ammo appeared as if by magic at the feet of Van Helsing. These small creatures can hide too much stuff on their persons.

[i_vanquish_evil]

Van Helsing just quirks an eyebrow at the pile. He's not stupid. He also knows that they each have at least one piece of ammo on them, but he'll let that slide.

"I should be down in the bar at the end of the week. If you don't steal anything else from me, I'll show you a couple things. Not get out of here before Natalie comes back and does some damage. She's scarier than I am."

"We'll be outta here quicker than a black cat that got stepped on by Behemoth!"
And with two grins and a wince from the witch, they were gone.
