The Fool On The Hill

[emotioneater]

A. Cooper needed to get out more. This was quite apparent to him as word reached him of Millicent’s latest plans. Letting her vamps run wild seemed like a bad, bad idea to him. He knew a thing or two about losing control and knew none of it ever came to any good. There was no fool like an old fool. Not that Cooper would ever say such words aloud where they could get back to Miss High ‘n Mighty. He liked living, thank you very much. There was nothing to do but go for a ride. He dusted off one of his motorcycles and took off into the night.

After a few blocks, any worries he had seemed to be far away. The only one he currently had was avoiding the suicidal public, who seemed determined to walk in the middle of the road. He yelled out in annoyance at the latest person to get in his way. “Hey! Get your head outta your arse and move it!” When would he learn to keep his mouth shut? Probably never.

B. Leaving the bike behind, he hit the local pubs. It occurred to Cooper that he was a bit peckish. Seeing as how he was out of contact with his usual blood donor, he was going to need someone else to bite into. It didn’t take long for his eyes to land on someone who looked like they might be up for being used as a blood bag. He sidled on up to them and crossed his fingers there were no overzealous hunters working in this part of town.

C. Wildcard! Have an idea? Let me know here or at light_shade

Cooper doesn't miss that brief serious interlude. He can be quite idiotic when it comes to understanding his own emotions, but when it comes to others, he can be perceptive when he wants to be. "'N what a business t'go into." Not that Cooper is judging much. His last semi-legitimate line of business was being second in command for a motorcycle gang. Not the sort of thing one puts on a resume.

Jean-Claude cannot help but let out a laugh at Cooper's comment, shaking his head somewhat as he does and spreading his hands in front of him in somewhat of a defensive gesture.

"What can I say?" he asks the other vampire. "I like what I like, and I know enough to understand that other people will pay good money for the same thing if presented in the right way."

"That's the first step to being a good businessman. The second is makin' sure you actually make money, no matter what's the product you're selling." Not that Cooper knows much about the inner workings of keeping a string club going. Anything overtly sexual tends to make Cooper slightly uncomfortable, due to being eternally stuck in such a young body. He'd been changed before he'd finished going through puberty and subsequently was a little self-conscious about the way he looked.
