New Toys

/ooc teh open! Watch your step.

Theo signed her name, with a great deal of self importance, on the line indicated by the delivery man, and stepped back to let him pull the cardboard away from the four by four plastic crate inside. He offered to move the crate where she wanted it, but she declined and sent him away, barely looking at him in her excitement.

Frowning for a moment while she decided where to put her new toy, she finally pushed the crate to the middle of the lobby and opened it up. With a gleeful grin at the contents, she tipped it over and giggled in delight at the sound of thousands and thousands of legos spilling all over the tiled floors.

Ebay really was a wonderful thing.

Still grinning happily, she took the leftover cardboard and tore it up into respectable dividers for the crate, then began sorting out the legos by color, size, and function.

He adored it when vampires talked about human's like sheep. He really did. Honest. Alright, thats a lie, he hated it. Still, he had had his share of periods where he looked at essentialy every passer by with eyes like a wolf's, so in all honesty he couldn't talk. That and the fact that he occationaly seduced people (no hypnotic sugestion involved) for the sole purpose of blood donation... Ok, not exactaly *sole* purpose. At least Jan was being honest about it.

Moving on, now...

((Nothing much for him to say, I fear...))

Theo responded to Jan’s crass humor with a solemn, wide eyed look, putting one hand to her chest and exclaiming in a dramatic tone.

“That’s –terrible-!”

She was, of course, completely acting – overacting in fact. She actually liked her friend’s dark sense of humor and his next statement confirmed that he really was kidding. Taking the blocks from Jan and placing them where she wanted them, she considered his question for half a moment before leaning forward, looking between Jan and Aaron, and speaking in a confidential stage whisper.

“Stupid men who think I’m nothing but a little girl.”

Her forehead creased for a moment while Paul scolded and other voices stirred, making general noises of approval. She always felt a little twisty and wrong when those other voices started, the voices that told her to do things she probably shouldn’t do. The feeling, however, passed, and she gave a twisted little grin.

“Though variety is nice – foolish cowardice is not always the sweetest dish.”

A truly frightened human could be too irritating to be near, much less feed from, but Theo was quite capable of keeping a person calm. It was hard to resist an opportunity to bring some arrogant shit down a peg or two, even if she was the only one who knew it, but sometimes the effort was tiresome and only left her feeling sad and drained. That, in her opinion, missed the whole point of feeding. Most times, in fact, she just hunted for the most likely candidate but if she had any preference at all that was it.

MARI checked in occasionally while the three vampires continued to work on the lego construction on the ruins. They eventually finished and MARI searched the storage files for a display case big enough to house their impressive construction. Once one was located, several maintenance men wheeled it into the conference room. It soon replaced the glass work vase that had been on display at the far end of the room. MARI sent a message to Danielle advising her of the redecoration decision. It could be relocated if necessary. Until such a time, the conference room had an engaging decoration that expressed playfulness as well as skill.
