Are you all right?

[ Micheal was still laughing as he leaned against the wall, the body laying in the back of the alleyway was a rather well known Junkie but Morbius did not know that.] So many colors...

[April glances down at the body, and her gift of insight gives her a few clues about his current state of mind]

Oh...

That would be a no then.

[ Sometimes he wasn't picky about who he feed from and times like these he paid, trying to control his laughter.]

My apologies, I am not myself. [ He spoke between laughs and started to lose his balance.] I must be off to home!

Let me help you [April moves forward to offer him an arm to hang onto. She is not afraid of being bitten... well because she is already a vampire. He feels different than those on her world though...]

[ Becuase Michael was no normal vampire he had been made of an experiment gone wrong. He had been trying to cure his own blood disease and ended up turning himself into a vampire thanks to a vile of Peter Parkers blood and one of his bats. He let her take his arm and leaned on her, at least his hunger was sated for now anyway.] Thank you... [ He muttered still between laughs though now becoming fixated with the lights as they walked.]

[She was not sure how to help him come down from the drugged blood. But at least she could help him get home safely]

Do you remember the way?

Not far at all. [ He spoke looking more dazed but at least he had finally stopped giggling he was watching the moon and stars now as he walked with her. Transfixed by their beauty.] An apartment complex near very run down.

[ Luckily there was one at the end of the next block.]

[The run down apartment gives her a clue to how he lived his life, and why he had hunted on the street]

We are almost there.

[ As he looked at the sky he widened his eyes.] You can see Venus tonight. [ he still sounded very dazed because he was, it would likely take all night for it to get out of his system but at least he wouldn't be on the street when the sun rose.] Who are you?

April.

[She looks up the sky, looking to see if Venus is indeed in the sky, or a part of his delusions]

Michael [ He returned the name, it was actually there but he saw it much differently, much brighter the stars were moving around too it was amazing he had noticed it. But when not tripping Michael was a brilliant man.]

Are you going to be alright Michael? [April seldomly has a chance to interact with other vampires. It is always interesting to meet another]

Yes, yes I will be. [ He spoke still in slow words watching the sky.] Though the world dances with out me I shall live to see another night I think. The basement, 2-a.

[ Basement apartments always had letters, and no windows. Perfect for a vampire hiding from the world.]

[Her mother used to talk in riddles. So April is able to make sense of the sentence]

A basement. Classic.

[ He was Romanian, his english was good but heavy in bad grammar and a heavy accent to go with it. He didn't mean to be confusing.]

Classic, yes. Good for keeping the enemies away.

Is it warded? [Because that could be a problem]

Not in a place like this. No cops no one comes here. [ Kind of a ghetto area, He pointed up then at the sky with one of his long nails.] Look you can see Mars too. [That he was just seeing himself, he was pointing at the north star.]

I am sure you will continue to see a lot of stars tonight [April chuckles. Her objective is to get him home safely, and then at least he can sleep these effects off.]

Uhoh. I know that look. [He waves a hand in front of Michael's face.] How many fingers am I holding up?

[ Michael laughs more] six my friend! You hold up six@

Mmmmhm. Have you been nibbling on raver girls again?

No! Not after last time no.... [ His giggling got a little more uncontrolable as he pointed back towards the back of the alleway, a man laid, very messily ripped open.]

A mugger. [A junkie no less.]

Oh dear. All right, let's take a flight out of here and then I'll find something fun for you to do.

[ Sometimes the younger vampire was such the messy eater, when he lifted himself up off the ground he was floating but swaying a little to it too oddly fascinated with the buttons of Vlad's coat.] Lead the way mine friend.

[He lifted into the air and flew off toward one of his secret gardens--two level havens based in warehouses that were filled with small artificial jungles atop and a safe place to crash for the day underneath. But he looked back, and immediately his brow furrowed with worry.] Michael, watch out for the power lines.

[ Michael was doing his best to stay straight but he got distracted when Vlad pointed out the power lines and managed to fly himself into a fire escape which made a loud lovely noises as he pulled back looking at it like it had offended him he hissed at it his fangs showing more.]

[Must not laugh, must not laugh...his shoulders shake slightly as he goes back to guide Michael out from behind it.] All right, all right, don't kill the fire escape, he's just doing his job. [He has to fight away the idea of putting Michael in front of a large mirror to see if he'll attack his reflection like an angry parakeet.]
