#1 I ACCIDENTALLY A WHOLE BRIBE (FOR COOPER / early june)
Ghoul is not usually the type to take an interest in playing legislative games, but after this recent shitshow of an election, he's decided to shake things up. The entire Council is apparently corrupt or crazy or selfish or unpredictable in one way or another- and you know what? That's fine. If the Council members are so quick to take bribes, then he'll find a motherfucker to take a bribe.

That's where Cooper comes in. Not because Ghoul thinks he's the most corrupt, but because he's the only one he's ever met at all. Cooper seems pretty okay for a vampire, and Ghoul figures it's easier to start on familiar ground.

Which is how Cooper ends up with a determined looking Ghoul starting off their meeting with, "I wanna get a law changed."



#2 THE SLOWEST SUFFERING (FOR LILLIAN / early june)
The talk with Cooper had gone all right, but this wasn't where he expected the conversation to lead him. He'd assumed the bribery thing would be a one-and-done deal, but no. Now he has to write up some sort of bullshit formal proposal, and it feels like every word he manages to jot down sucks a little bit of the life force out of him.

It's awful. There are even books (fucking books!) spread out on the table in front of him, because he thought a quiet, cozy picnic area in a park would be a nice place to think.

It's not helping much, actually. After a while, he abandons the small notebook he'd been scribbling in and directs all of his attention to his phone screen. The shit he's scrolling through has nothing to do with his project, but hey. It's fine. He deserves a break.



#3 FULL MOON: DURING/AFTER (OPEN TO EAST END PACK / june 9th/10th)
And all too quickly, that time of the month has come around again. This time, he's prepared. He remains in the den for the duration, spending the night in the basement with some of the others. Keeping an eye on things with the newer members, being a nuisance towards older ones- the usual, really.

Once morning rolls around, he drags himself upstairs to recover. Face-down on a squishy sofa in one of the common areas is where he stays for most of the day, sore and half asleep.



#4 HILLINGDON HOUSE CALL (OPEN TO HILLINGDON & HILLINGDON ALLIES - feel free to reply as though he's made it inside the building and is wandering around, as well! / mid june)
Ghoul has a ghost to check in with.

He ends up finding Hillingdon House without much trouble. The place isn't as big as he'd imagined it to be (that's what he gets for looking at it from the front), and it seems pretty normal. Still, he ends up stuck outside of it, staring with a pensive look on his face. What the hell does he do with it? Knock on the door like some kind of jackass? Just waltz on in there? Where a bunch of hunters are?

Roddy just wondered what Ghoul was expecting to see behind him. Still, it was nice to see Ghoul and so he returned the smile for a second before considering Ghoul's question.

"Do you mean in general or right now? Because I'll have you know that shifters hang around Hillingdon all the time. It's not all hunters all the time, you know." And if he meant more specifically... "Right now I just finished raiding the fridge. I'm broke, so I like the free food."

"What, you mean my gruff, hard demeanor that even has small insects quaking in their nonexistent boots didn't give off a 'hunter' vibe?" Roddy grinned, well aware that he didn't seem the least bit like a hunter. Not that he wanted to, anyway.

A tour? "Are you sure you want a tour? We have this creepy judgmental ghost that will just sit and glare. You can't really see his eyes, just blobs, but you can still tell he's glaring. And I'm not sure everyone here will be as friendly as me, but..." Roddy shrugged. "Sure, if you want a tour, I can give you one."

Fortunately for Ghoul, Roddy was not going to do anything important, so he didn't mind being derailed.

And Roddy looks...confused. That was certainly not the reaction he was expecting.

"Wait...really? The former werewolf hunter? Why would you want to talk to him? I don't even like talking to him."

And unlike Ghoul, Rorschach didn't especially seem to want Roddy dead.

"I mean, we can check for him, not sure whether or not he'll appear but...why?"

Well...that was...bizarre. And didn't sound anything like the Rorschach he'd spoken to.

"Huh. That's weird. I mean, the one time we actually spoke he was all about how 'all werewolves are murderers' and such. Which is why I assumed he must have been a werewolf hunter. I mean, I know that's technically true, but I none of the werewolves I met so far seem like murderers, and no offense, but I've always figured you and Party must have somehow tripped and killed someone. But sure, we can look around, see if we can find him. I'm not sure if he'll manifest, but if he does, I think I've got a few questions for him myself."

Like why he was telling people that werewolves were the worst thing ever if he knew that wasn't true. Although, it was entirely possible that he met Ghoul and questioned his previous assumption.

Roddy shook his head. "I don't know, you'd have to ask him. I don't exactly agree with him."

Of course, asking him would be a bit difficult without revealing what Ghoul was, and Roddy would understand entirely if he didn't want to do that.

"I won't tell him if you don't want me to."

Roddy was glad when Ghoul loosened his grip. He hadn't been too worried about it, but still...always nice to not have someone gripping your sleeve due to the upset and panic of learning what certain ghosts really thought of them. Roddy offered a small, momentary wisp of a smile when Ghoul smoothed out his shirt, a small acknowledgement to the gesture.

"I mean, I know what you have to do to activate your curse, but..." Roddy shrugged. "None of the wolves I met seemed big or bad."

[personal profile] roddy_reinigen 2017-06-29 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
That caught Roddy by surprise.

"Ow, what the hell?"

And the explanation...left Roddy even more confused. He was upset because Roddy didn't think he was a monster? Roddy rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. Didn't mean to insult your monstrous street cred. I'm sure you're terrible when it's that time of the month."

"Fine," he said, turning, then adding, "And I'm not going to start thinking sloppy."

He knew not to hang around them on the full moon, it was just easy enough to avoid. However, he took the chance the change the subject, and started showing Ghoul inside.

"We can check out the kitchen, first. He sometimes likes to stare creepily at people while they're eating."

"Probably. But I still have to eat, so..."

He wasn't going to stop eating the free food here just because a ghost missed eating.

Roddy led Ghoul into the kitchen. "Well, here it is." Then, looking around he room he said, "Not that I see him here at the moment. Must not be as fun when no one's trying to eat."
