[Kate appears with a crate of thick wooden sticks and a ceremonial knife; she sits down, cross-legged, and begins to sharpen them into stakes, muttering about unstable colleagues

if it looks like she's done this a thousand times, it's because she has]

[vaguely irritated look] Those aren't food, they're weapons.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Or perhaps it is a very large tooth pick!

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[looks Very Stern, and that little smile was a trick of the starlight] No.

[lightly bops her on the nose with a big toothpick stake]

[Goes cross-eyed and falls over backwards]

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

Serves you right.

[eyes with concern]

[Rolls to her feet, quite unharmed] Low blow, I say! Foul!

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

All is fair in love and war.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Do you love me or is this a formal declaration of hostilities?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

I meant my war. But I guess you are a bit loveable.

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Only a bit?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[grave nod]

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Horrorz] Why only a little bit?

[...eyebrow, raised]

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[without looking up]

Vampires.

[didorothy]

Of course.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[looks up, with a wry smile] That, and stress relief. I can only clean my gun so many times.

[didorothy]

[the confusion goes down a few notches]

That I can understand. Though I usually turn to my desk about then.

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[slight nod] Used to be my second choice, too. This is a bit more useful, though.

[didorothy]

I suppose the stakes are one-time-use only?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

[still carving, though she's looking at him] Depends. If you leave it in the vamp, it will explode into ashes along with it; if you pull it out in time, you can re-use it. They can only take so much, though.

[didorothy]

So you really... fight vampires? What're they like?

[borntostand.livejournal.com]

Really. [slight shrug] Like you'd expect, I guess. Strong, fast, damn near invincible if you don't know what you're doing. Fangs. [and her hand rises a bit, towards her neck, before she lowers it again] No conscience.
