[ It's the afterparty and Yuri has the anti-bite balm on her. There's no way she would be going into a horde full of vampire-like people without it. She's not really here to enjoy the party, but rather trying to see if there's anyone who's getting hassled by the locals... ]
[ he could do with some of that anti-bite balm right now, truly. he should've thought this through. instead he'sjust
walking by.
power walking.
there's a couple of persistent locals who are following him trying to persuade him to go with them to any number of locations with nice dark alleyways around the city. wow. ]
[ She's about to call out to Shu, but then she sees him power walking...
...
???
But then she hears the thing about dark alleyways and ohhhh no. Well. He does look attractive in it. But still?? Anyway, she has something like this on, thanks to... someone. She even has a high ponytail this time, but the same hairbow stays. ]
Excuse me, you shouldn't... hey!
[ They're not listening to her! That annoys her a little bit, but it's fine. She's patient. Probably. ]
[ She just watches the vampire bump into Shu's back. Uhhh. She's wary about one of them jumping onto him, so. ]
... You didn't have to stop for me. Let's leave.
[ Vampires talk about something something orgy in the local love hotel... which makes a very terse lineface on Yuri's expression before she smears the anti-bite balm over that vampire's mouth. They make the "cat no banana" face. ]
[ but there are so many people at the mercy of vampires. yuri the hero. ]
It’s fine. I’m not interested in sticking around here and it doesn’t seem like you are either.
[ but then — ah. shu’s perfectly fine ignoring all the vampires and all their talk of blood orgies at the love hotel, even if it is coming across as an invite, he likes not being needled in the neck. but then yuri’s hand is whipping out and smearing balm on the vampire and he can’t help but snort laugh at the expression on the vampire’s face when she does. ]
[ Yuri gets in between Shu and the others with the anti-bite balm in her hand and they all make a "do not want" expression on their face, calling Yuri rude. ]
... It's rude to try and coerce someone for your carnal desires when they don't want it.
[ "But he never said he didn't want it!" One of them tries to grab Shu's wrist. ]
[ she is really bringing the “Excuse me, he said no pickles” energy today and I love that for her.
shu’s pretty quick, almost reflexive, to bat the reaching hand away from him — and away from yuri as well, seeing as the vampire is probably reaching over or around her to try and get to his wrist. ]
I’m not interested. That better?
[ he even used small words. the vampire looks a bit affronted at being called out that bluntly. ]
[ thank god we’re leaving only to likely encounter one or more dead bodies instead! ]
…
[ they entirely deserved that. and it’s really funny, she’s just wielding this bite balm like a tiny little weapon. ] The more you piss her off the more you’re gonna get balm to the face.
And the less and less interested anyone’s going to be in your night time plans.
[ the questions about (frog claude voice) polyamorous relationships and partnerships go ignored because quite honestly it is none of their vampiric business. ]
... Harassed might not be the right word. I reckon they just knew they'd get a whole lot of nothing, other than a maybe if they straight up bothered me the whole time. But they've been trying for a while.
[ and then got scared off by a girl nearly a foot shorter than him with bite-balm. ]
... I got asked to wear it at least once, and figured a party would probably cover it. [ more fool him. ]
Mm. Adrastea mentioned that too. Something about the ship looking like models. Apparently we're better looking than the group they were with before, during their training.
I've talked to Adrastea more than the others, I guess. But I don't think we know any of the people they trained with before other than the people here.
[ I hope shu never lets her live it down. Yuri is still holding Shu's hand, so she starts leading him there. She passed this building too many times and wants to expire every time. The receptionist needs to check one of their IRIS devices for the free night stay. Yuri doesn't hold hers up. ]
[ shu in front of god and everyone: yeah we went to the love hotel.
to talk.
shu will just hold his up without much reaction. he's ignoring the Look the receptionist is giving them. if they nudge and wink he's going to throw his phone. ]
[ Fortunately for Shu, they do not. Instead, the receptionist checks them in, gives them the keys, one each, and tells them the room number. That's not so hard to find... They eventually get to the room and Yuri is quiet the ENTIRE TIME. Do not make her speak. She'll explode out of embarrassment.

he's still power walking a little, but he does slow down just a little when he hears yuri talking. ah.
one of the vampires bumps into his back as he slows down, and looks a little confused why the pace has changed. ]
Hey.
[ what vampires? ] Figured you'd have gone back to the ship by now.

Another vampire scoffs. "Who is she anyway? His girlfriend? If you were, you could have just said so. We're open to polyamory."
...
That vampire gets anti-bite balm smeared onto their face, in which they recede like a cat who has cheese slapped on their head. ]

Were you being harassed all night long...?

no subject
[ Why are people like this. Yuri sighs. ]
Why didn't you refuse them from the start?
[ She looks up at Shu. Was he playing hard to get??? ]
no subject
[ he shrugs. also help, he doesn't want to be chomped on. ] It's been a case of batting them down like flies, but I guess they got hungry.
no subject
[ She feels hungry too. Damn. Yuri looks over Shu's clothes and... she can see why. ]
We have many... eye-pleasing coworkers, so I guess this should have been expected.
no subject
... I got asked to wear it at least once, and figured a party would probably cover it. [ more fool him. ]
Mm. Adrastea mentioned that too. Something about the ship looking like models. Apparently we're better looking than the group they were with before, during their training.
no subject
[ Yuri seems to be in serious thought for a moment. ]
I didn't think Adrastea would note appearances, but they didn't look bad at all. Are you friendly with them?
no subject
[ ... ] Presumably.
no subject
[ Yuri holds Shu's hand and what's a very private place... oh. ]
Did you use your hotel special yet, Shu?
no subject
no subject
[ That's some real sketchy shit, man. ]
I was hoping to talk to you in a place where we couldn't be eavesdropped even by chance, but...
[ Yeah, she's just going to ignore that she basically invited Shu to go to the love hotel with her (for an unrelated reason, but still). ]
no subject
[ she really did go hey boo wanna go to a love hotel to chat. good for her. ]
... It's that or a room on the ship. Hotel's probably closer though. It's something private?
no subject
