Blind Date: Zli x Aerona

Postby Sarah » 02/17/2017 2:05 AM

"What in the world are you looking at?" Sevastion asked, leaning over the man's shoulder.

"Its a dating app," Zli said. He didn't look up from the phone. There were countless profiles to be sorted through, he didn't have time to be distracted by Sevastion.

"And you are on it because?" Sevastion was quite mystified. Zli not only had better things to do, but if he wanted to be with someone certainly Sevastion was the best choice.

"That vampire woman uses this to bait meals into coming to her. I figured it'd be easiest to get to her this way. keep suspicion low and all that," Zli said dismissively.

"Oh? A good plan in theory, but what if she doesn't think you'd make a pleasant meal?" Sevastion asked smirking.

Zli gasped, wholly offended. He put his phone down and turned on the man, pushing him away. "How dare you Sevastion! I would be the perfect meal for a vampire," he argued. What was not to like? Toned body, shocking red eyes, facial piercings, highly visible and strange tattoos... okay maybe he wasn't for everyone, but he liked to think he was. Sevastion only chuckled and turned away, leaving Zli to finding his vampire.

With a frown Zli went back to the phone. Only a few more minutes of searching, and his target was found. After a quick check to make sure he had the right person, Zli sent her a friend request.

A young woman lounged in a comfortable armchair in the privacy of her home, phone in hand and eyes fixed upon the bright screen. She seemed oddly well-dressed for one who was spending the evening in - after all, a form-fitting dress hardly seemed like normal (let alone comfortable) loungewear. However, that was due to the fact that she wasn't intending to spend the night alone, and although her plans weren't exactly set in stone at the moment, she had a pretty good idea of how the rest of her evening would go.

Aerona lazily swiped a finger across the touchscreen, her gaze lingering for mere moments before swiping again. Normally, these dating apps were used by the lonely in search a so-called 'soulmate', or perhaps just someone to warm their bed for a few hours, but to her, it was more akin to browsing a rather lengthy menu at a restaurant. Albeit one which required a lot of digging through chaff to find something that piqued her interest, but as a vampiress, she had nothing but time to burn.

This was one of her new hobbies - after all, when you were immortal, things had a tendency to fall into a rather dull routine, but finding new ways to spice up her meals helped bring a little excitement into the mix. True, humans tended to be a bit more fragile than she might have liked, but that didn't mean that she couldn't play with her food before the main course anyway.

She'd been swiping for probably close to twenty minutes now and hadn't found anyone particularly eye-catching just yet. A few backburner candidates, should all options run out, but no one that had actually looked tantalizing to her. Friend requests popped up every once in a while, but for the most part, they were the pleas of desperate (and generally substandard, in her eyes) candidates, but they ensured that she'd always have a meal on call when she wanted it. Tonight, however, as she flicked through the new requests which had piled up in her inbox, one particular invite actually caught her attention for more than a fraction of a second.

The profile picture showed a well-muscled specimen with all nature of tattoos and piercings covering the visible parts of his body (and she had no doubt that there was more of that hidden from the gaze as well), and Aerona felt a smirk color her features as she tapped on his profile in the hopes of seeing more. Well, this certainly added a more interesting twist to the night. The man certainly looked like someone who could hold their own, but she decided that tonight, she would be the judge of whether that was actually true. Clicking on the "Accept" button in response to his friend request, she sat back to wait and see how this scenario would play out.

An unfortunate amount of time passed while Zli waited for the woman to either accept or reject his request. All the while he had had nothing to do but wait. It had been almost excruciatingly boring. Surely this wasn't how mortals found others to... play with. He couldn't say he wouldn't bother with some requests that he had gotten, but the thing seemed like a terrible place to find romance. It really wasn't any wonder a vampire was using it to catch meals.

His charm had better effect on those in front of him, not behind a screen. Along with his stunning looks his demonic aura had a kind of tantalizing effect on mortals. Too bad it only worked on mortals. Leaning back into the couch Zli sighed. "Sev," he whined, long and loud enough that the man could hear him if he were on the other side of the barracks. A moment of silence passed and Zli decided that Sevastion had gone out to do other things.

Frowning, Zli leaned forward again and picked up the phone. There were more than a few notifications, and he decided to inspect them for lack of anything better to do. A few new friend requests from the app and... Zli smiled, a certain someone had accepted his request. Shit. Did he message her now? Should he wait a day or two before initiating conversation? What if she was the one who was meant to initiate? Zli was certain that the dating app had rules just as the real world did, and he knew too that they were different.


The frown returned as Zli contemplated his next move. To accept his friend request, that at least meant she saw him as a possible meal. It was enough that even if he made some faux pas she might not dismiss him completely. He decided to send her a message then.

Hey, thanks for accepting my request : )

Gods, how old was he that he struggled to compose an online conversation.

Aerona wasn’t a vampire particularly known for her patience. One would think that being immortal would make a person take life at a more leisurely pace, but on the contrary, it seemed to make her even less so. It was a good thing for her new “friend” then that he made relatively quick work of reaching out to her (although even in those brief moments before he got there, Aerona was already feeling antsy – after all, she was something of a believer in ‘instant gratification’). Nevertheless, the first message came within a timely enough manner, and the vampiress grinned as she saw the notification pop up on her phone. For a moment, she was concerned that perhaps it was just another lonely man out to try his luck with as many women as he could message in one night (as much as she scoffed at that desperation, it seemed the ‘shotgun’ approach to dating worked at least once in a while, considering the fact that those people were still trying it).

Luckily though, when she pulled up her inbox, she saw that the sender was indeed the fine specimen whom she’d been eyeing. So, perhaps his message wasn’t exactly the most inspired or creative introduction, but she was willing to overlook that for the moment. After all, he didn’t need to be smart or witty to be fun to play with. She paused only for a brief moment of thought before deftly tapping out her reply and sending it.

Well, with a body like that, it would have been a crime for me to say ‘no’. At least, what I can see of it.

Needless to say, she’d had a little bit of practice in the past several months that she’d been playing this little game of hers with the hearts and minds of lonely men. Plus, it was amazing what just a few well-placed words could do for the…enthusiasm of her partners. Not only did it make for more fun evenings for herself, she also had to admit that she took pleasure in teasing her mortal playthings. Satisfied that her reply would be enough to pique her new partner’s interest, she sat back to wait for his response.

"Wonderful," Zli laughed. The reply spoke well of what he was going to be dealing with. Considering what he was using to contact the vampire he should have expected it. Despite his apprehensions about using the app he had to admit it was probably the fastest he'd ever made contact with someone he was looking to meet. Now all he had to do was convince her to meet up with him face to face.

Does that mean you'd like to see more?

Flirting, he could flirt. Just because he couldn't do so face to face didn't mean he forgot how. He'd needed to test the water a bit, make sure she had the same interest he did, fake or no.

Her ‘partner’s’ reply came much quicker than the initial contact had taken, and Aerona grinned at the haste with which her message was responded to. Without even trying, she had this guy caught; hook, line, and sinker. Guess it paid to look like she did on a site like this, and she was more than happy to use that to her advantage. However, there was still fun in the chase, and she didn’t intend for her game to end quite so quickly or easily. After all, who said that it was a crime to play with your food before eating it?

“Well, what’s that gonna cost me?”

Her reply was typed within seconds of receiving his message, but she waited a minute or two before actually sending it. After all, there was no reason to seem overly enthusiastic about this possible arrangement – in her experience, it seemed to be a bit of a turn-off for human males when a woman was too quick to reply. There must be something about the suspense and uncertainty that really got their motors running, she could only assume.
