A Nap in The Park

[Dardanius]

Dardanius let out a yawn as the sun began to rise. He had just gotten back into town after a "freak incident" had occurred, and he was tired. As he walked home, passing block after block, he began to get even more drowsy. So, just to be safe, he decided to sit down on a bench in the local park, and take a nap.

"I just hope no one wakes me." He began to nod off, "stupid roses..." Dardanius slumped over and fell asleep just as the sun rose.

"Daddy, what's that man doing? Is he dead?" A little girl asked as she and her father passed by the sleeping Dardanius. Her father, shaking his head, explained to her that he was simply sleeping, and the two passed on by.

A few hours passed, and things began to get quiet. It was dark out now, and things seemed to get quiet. Nobody was at the park now, it was a very late hour. Well, nobody unless you count the man in the crazy clothes.

Walking along, Hunter scratched his head and gave a loud yawn. He was heading home from his current job, working the late shift at a fast food restaurant. He needed the money to live, at least until he could get a job interview at Sintec.

Suddenly Hunter spotted something in the darkness of the night, a man sitting on a bench, sleeping soundly. Either he was homeless or REALLY tired. Hunter knew he just couldn't leave the man, vampires were out at this hour.

"Sir, what are you doing here?"

[Dardanius]

Dardanius sat up, his red eyes casting the illusion that they were glowing. He looked up at the strangely clad man, "I was sleeping, what does it look like?" He glared.

He then stood up, brushed himself off and stretched. He also let out a long yawn and rubbed his eyes. "Hm, It would appear I over slept quite a bit." He turned back to the stranger, "and who are you?" Dardanius folded his arms.

"Hunter Kirizaki, employee at Texas Fried Chicken, and donator to the local orphanage. I run about three donation drives every month in order to raise money for the orphanage. Basically, all I do is try and help that orphanage. Who are you?" Hunter replied, scratching his head once more before sighing. The man seemed quite strange, with red eyes and all, but Hunter wouldn't be one to complain, considering how wacky his attire was. Looking about, Hunter could tell nobody was out at this late hour, except, perhaps, vampires.

[Dardanius]

Dardanius unfolded his arms 'It seems like he's annoyed that he's helping the place out.' He then blinked a couple times, and sweat-dropped, "I see, I'm Dardanius, and that's all I feel like telling you." He smiled in a sickeningly sweet way, "but first, mind telling me why you are out so late? Vampires lurk the streets at these times." His eyes closed halfway, he grined coyly. He sat back down on the bench, and crossed his arms once more.

[Joey Von Krause]

"I should ask you the same question. What are you doing sleeping at this time." Hunter returned, before taking a twig out of his pocket and putting it in his mouth. Hunter had never done it before, so he thought he might as well do it once before he died. "I'm heading home from my late night shift. And you really don't need to worry, I'm well armed." Hunter said, reaching his hand into his pocket. He slid a pistol out of the pocket partway, then put it back in.

Nearby, voices could be heard, whispering in the darkness. Hunter, turning, sighed, as he took out the pistol and spun it in his hand. "Stay back, I'm not your prey."

[Dardanius]

Dardanius glared at "Mr. Kirizaki,"
"I hate guns."

He then smiled, ignoring the voices, "I've actually been sleeping since sunrise." He stood, "I wonder if I should stay here, or go to work?" He looked up to the sky, "I think it's going to rain. I hate rain." he scowels, "It makes my job more irritating." He paused, looking back down, "And more sloppy."

[Joey Von Krause]

"That's all nice and dandy, but in this day of age you at least have to have a knife to stay alive. The police and the slayers seem to be more active." Hunter said, putting his hand on the trigger as someone ran towards him. Growling, Hunter fired off a round, then ducked to the side when the Vampire launched a claw at him. Hunter brought up the pistol to the Vampire's jaw with incredible force, and launched the vampire back, landing on the ground. He fired off two more rounds, finishing off his enemy.

"Pistols are also quite useful. But, since you hate guns, at least take a knife around with you at night."

[Dardanius]

"Meh, I'm covered." Suddenly his pager went off, causing him to jump, "Arg! I hate these bloody things!" Dardanius turned it off, and opened his cell phone, "hello?" He paused, "no." He threw the phone at the ground, and firmly stepped on it, "annoying thing." Dardanius glared at the inanimate object, and kicked it, causing it to land on a car, just as the car pulled out of an alley, and turned into another one.

"Who uses alleys these days?"

[Joey Von Krause]

"Apparently your blind or something, as you don't seem to be surprised that a vampire just got killed right in front of you by a man you barely know. Aren't you going to react to anything, or are you like me? Do you even care?" Hunter asked, turning towards Dardanius, scratching his head once again. "Because I doubt nobody would be able to ignore that."

[Dardanius]

Dardanius simply shruged, "vamps usually don't bother me." He turned back to the man, "what are you like? And no, I don't really care that much."

He then watched as the car, where is cell had landed, seemed to be backing up, and turning twards them, "I think that car is heading for us." Dardanius pointed to the car. Sure enough the car began to accelerate in their direction, "I wonder why." The car did not begin to slow down, it only sped up.

[Joey Von Krause]

"You're obviously an idiot, as it seems you don't care if you die or not. Vampires are relentless, most kill for fun. Though they have rational thoughts like humans, they sometimes need blood." Hunter said, rolling out of the way of the car just as it turned and came back in his direction. Taking out his pistol, Hunter fired off three rounds at the car, before rolling out of the way again to reload. This time the car couldn't turn, as it hit a tree in the park.

[Dardanius]

"Aw, poor tree." Dardanius chuckled, "I wonder who's driving that thing?" He sighed.

He looked back at the stranger, "they really don't bother with me. They never have, and I don't think they ever will." He then sighed, "could this day get anymore boring?"

[Joey Von Krause]

Hunter sighed, then put his gun away before walking off. "Seeya. I might suggest you get back home. It's getting even darker out." Hunter said, then waved his hand. This guy was strange. Really strange. He wouldn't really benefit from staying around much longer. He needed to get home. He needed food. And he sure as heck wasn't going to get it here.

[Dardanius]

Dardanius grinned, "I'm usually awake durring the night and asleep durring the day. I was born that way." He turned away, "guess I'll get going then." He trailed off, sighing. "So much for entertainment."

Dardanius turnned around and began on his way out of town.
