[ He's technically on a break. By technically it means that he ropes one of the other guys to do his job while he skives off. The boss likes him (kinda) and it fits the image (kinda), so whatever.

Besides, he still needs to check this man out. He is one of those people who make the fourth wall cry on a regular basis, after all. ]

Yer enthusiasm for the job's catchin', Spike my boy. [ Long, low drawl. ]

Gimme my free drink.

[rudolphofvamps]

[He shrugs, opening out his arms in greeting.] What'll you have?

[So not bothering to argue with Matches' assessment of his 'enthusiasm.']

[kingofrooks]

[ He shrugs expansively, snagging a bar stool and swinging himself on top of it. ]

Whatever ya wanna make. I'll see what ya pick.

[ There's a smirk at the corner of his lip, curved around the ever-present match. ]

[rudolphofvamps]

Only right drink around here. [he's muttering, pouring Matches some Jack, no ice.]

[kingofrooks]

[ He raises an eyebrow. ]

Right American yer are.

[rudolphofvamps]

[He shrugs, pouring himself a shot.] You learn to adapt.

[kingofrooks]

... So yer not American? [ Eyebrow raise. Swirling the drink in the glass. ]

Thought that accent's a fake.

[rudolphofvamps]

[He's doing one of these in his head :|a]

..No. I'm English. [and then downs the shot.]

[kingofrooks]

Yeah, and ya look jest like one, with ya blond 'air bleached like a fuckin' relic from the seventies.

[ He's making fun of you. IN CASE YOU CAN'T TELL... ]

[rudolphofvamps]

I'm a relic from much older than that. [he shrugs] Billy Idol stole my look.

[kingofrooks]

[ His eyes brighten a little, and he grins. ]

'ow old are ya?

[rudolphofvamps]

A buck fifty, some change. [shruuug]

[kingofrooks]

[ A low, low whistle. ]

So, ya were born in the times when showin' a woman's ankles are illegal, eh?

[rudolphofvamps]

Just about. [Where are you going with this Matches :|]

[kingofrooks]

[ You'll see. ]

So tell me 'bout that. [ Shrugs. ] Always has an interest in 'istory, but never gotten beyond middle school.

[rudolphofvamps]

[He shrugs, leaning his chin in his hand]

Neither did I. School wasn't the same back then anyway. [Oh right question] Dunno. I mean, it was a long time ago, yeah? Don't think on it too much.

[That's a total lie but how does he even talk about when he was William. He was a nerd :(]

Didn't branch out too much, but those times no one really did. Truthfully, didn't live til after I died, pretty much.
