[ Closed ]

WHO: Kaneki + Dio
WHERE: Nonah
WHEN: 31st July
WHAT: Kaneki really needs a drink
WARNINGS: Vampirism/Cannibalism, tba

[ kaneki's coffee shop will be closed until the 15th August because he isn't right. After eating two clones - one of them who was a friend's clone - Kaneki just spiraled down again and right it's impossible for him to focus on his coffee shop. Not when he feels bad, like he is being eaten inside, the very same way he hate those clones wearing imPort's faces; he isn't all that sure they were clones, however. In fact, he is still thinking things over.

What if they were the actual thing? What if it really was Jaime and Yusuke? He knows he should contact them, he should make sure it wasn't them, but he is afraid and not ready for that yet.

between all of this, he gets a text from Dio, asking for blood. Kaneki did say he'd provide it if his special customers needed it, so of course he goes to his shop to deliver. Inside, he opens a bottle of bloodwine, pouring a glass to Dio. Even if the ghoul looks like he just went through hell, he still smiles and pretends everything is fine. ]


So- how was your time with the clones? Did you have one?

[Dio didn't actually need the blood, he was perfectly fine on his own, but he did love the idea of the blood alcohol, which he had been craving. Something more refined than snacking on any random vagrant he could assure would not be missed.]

Yes, unfortunately. From what I hear he had been causing trouble in De Chima with the zombies, but I never actually managed to meet him. I had been busy cleaning up Maurtia Falls, in all honesty.

That would have been quite the showdown though...

[It was a lie that he had a clone, but not a lie that he'd been helping with the robot menace of Maurtia Falls. The clones were just a convenient excuse to cause havoc.]

And you?
dioception: (If this scene were a parish)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-07-30 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
It is. Those things were a menace to native and imPort alike.

[Perhaps for somewhat different reasons.

Dio sighs either way, leaning back in his seat and bringing the glass up to his lips, looking Kaneki over. He did look pretty tired, and no one likes drinking alone unless they were huge sadsacks, which Dio was not.]


Why don't you take a seat and indulge with me a bit? I love this 'bar patron/bartender' dynamic we have going, but it'd be nice to just chat as equals on the same side of a bar, right?
dioception: (Tryin to pray for change)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-07-30 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dio was a social drinker. Both in booze and blood, so perhaps doubly so with the mix. Kaneki doesn't have to talk much or even about himself, too, since Dio is more than content to dominate a conversation. He mostly noticed that the guy looked a little rough around the edges, and Dio didn't want to be the only one getting buzzed. Or drunk, depending on how the night went.]

It sure has. Thankfully, it seems we're making a rather swift recovery. At least in Maurtia Falls, I admittedly don't have my hand on the pulse much elsewhere.

Truly, defeating those robots was a little exhilarating! I don't generally get to use my strength for anything in this world, and I was getting antsy. Feeling a little cooped up, you know?
dioception: (And I got common sense)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-07-30 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was over for Dio. He didn't get very invested in all of that... OTO and Heaven Scent stuff. Not his priority. Of course, what does he care if a few people get slaughtered. It'd have to affect him personally in a way he can't ignore for him to really pick up a banner and fight.]

No, I kept to Maurtia Falls. That's where I live, after all, and I couldn't very well leave it while it was under siege and while they were cleaning up the aftermath. One man cannot do everything and be everywhere.

Not even a very talented man like myself. We must choose our battles. The fact that I enjoyed stretching my muscles doesn't detract from that, you know?

[He would not pretend that he didn't enjoy fighting, but at the least he'd pretend not to be the sort to pick needless fights.]
dioception: (Oooh and I'm gorgeous)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-01 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Once they attacked him personally, of course he'd lead the charge on destroying them, but until then, Dio had other priorities. His fight was in the political ring, or hidden from view with some certain heroes.]

Oh, certainly not. [Dio shook his head, holding up a hand as he lifted the bloodwine to his lips again, taking a longer drink. Very nice stuff, really. Who would have thought of making blood alcoholic? Dio could honestly just mix the two, but always figured they were fine separately. Maybe in part because he usually drank blood fresh from the source.]

I'm a vampire. I can't be attracting that sort of attention. Flying about in spandex and rescuing kittens from trees. No, I just enjoy getting to use this old body when I get a chance. I worked very hard for it, after all.

[With that, Dio lifted his chin, pulling down the high collar of his shirt, exposing the scar that ringed his neck where he'd once been decapitated. He'd worked hard for this body in a very literal sense!]
dioception: (Caught in a landslide)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-01 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Spandex it's fine for certain situations. As is a nice, classy cape. But the masks and the bright colors and the showboating... Really counterproductive to anything aside from the fight itself, you know? And fighting crime isn't all about punching bad guys.

[Dio knew better than most that evil would prosper, even when faced with punishment. It might even grow stronger with such a consequence.]

Oh no. I lost my original body in a fight with some vampire hunters about a century ago. A hazard of my existence, you know?
dioception: (Tryin to pray for change)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-05 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dio was a flashy, colorful guy in comparison to most people, on the other hand, and he did so love showing off his body. But primary colored spandex??? Eugh, fashion disaster. He had no room to hate on capes though. Capes were cool. Cool for vampires, which Dio is.]

I'm not like most vampires, in all fairness.

[He's sure many people say that about their 'things',but in Dio's case? Well, what other vampires can shoot something like lasers from their eyes, have prehensile, tentacle-like veins, and drink primarily with their fingers? He's only using his mouth out of politeness. Sticking his finger in a cup is just rude and something he'd do after getting drunk.]

Oh yes. It's quite close to my original. And it holds some sentimental value. [Nothing is quite as sentimental as wearing your rival/adopted brother's body after you murder him on his honeymoon. Not that Dio would go so far as to say that. Kaneki seemed like a nice boy, and that would hardly go over well with a nice boy.]
dioception: (kinda follow him back home)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-06 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Capes are cool! But they are also 100% for looking menacing and not fighting, he could grant that.

Dio polishes off his drink easily, setting the glass down and licking at his lips just a little. Honestly, he hadn't met any other vampires here, but the media he's consumed had every vampire turning into bats or drinking the blood of virgins or whatever. They were also generally trashy romance novels if he was reading on vampires in all fairness, but Dio was still very unlike them.]


Also, it makes my head fit on the body much better! Hah!

[After a short bark of laughter, Dio offers his glass to Kaneki.]

Another round. Gotta say, this is some good stuff. I usually just choke down the taste of alcohol in order to enjoy myself, but this is infinitely more pleasant!
dioception: (You're an acid junkie college flunky)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-10 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Dio smiles as he watches the bloodwine being poured, then closing his eyes and sucking in a long breath with his nose to capture that scent. Truly wonderful. Two of his great vices in one.]


I suppose that is fair. My diet is limited as well. I cannot digest anything solid, it just makes me ill, though I can enjoy most liquids. I've truly come to love whiskey for recreational use. But it doesn't really sate me, you know?

[He sighed, shrugging then. Not much sated him these days. He'd gone 92 years starving at the bottom of the ocean and had been binge-eating since he'd gotten free, only to end up here a few years later, where that was not an option.]

It's quite mind-boggling to think of the foods I'm missing out on. So much has been changed or invented since I turned about a hundred years ago. Really, so much. In my youth, we only had horse-drawn carriages and oil lamps, and now we've electric lighting, and these... mh... these absolute works of art, marvels of modern engineering, so-many-horsepower having... vehicles. [Getting the feeling that he really likes cars yet? That's natural.]

And I can't drive either.

...Anyway. What other kinds of things can you make?
dioception: (If this scene were a parish)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-11 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dio chuckled a little at the idea of eating teeth. That sounded pretty strange, he can't lie, but he could hardly judge, seeing as he could drink a person dry of their blood with his fingers, shoot his own eye fluid out of his eyes as if it were a laser, shoot his own fangs out of his mouth, and many other similar things.]

I wouldn't know where to start on learning how to drive. [Besides, he got around quite quickly on his own... But he did like cars a lot.]

Hah! A human friend of yours drank your blood and bone coffee, huh? I can only imagine. Though I suppose that'd teach them not to just drink another person's beverage.

[He closed his eye for a moment, picturing it in his mind. Hilarious. He pulled the cup up to his lips again, continuing to drink his own bloodwine and savoring the taste and attempting to imagine what those described dishes might look like. How perfectly ghastly.]

Say, Kaneki, when we're done drinking here, why don't we go out and have some fun?
dioception: (new and magic)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-12 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Dio laughs aloud at that. Never told them?! What a hoot! No, that was the best thing! He slaps at Kaneki's back a bit too hard, though certainly he could handle Dio's superhuman strength considering his own.]

Ah, the dramatic irony of a human cannibalizing their own unknowingly! [Dio had never read Hannibal, but no doubt would have found it amazing.]

Of course we can bring it along. You're open about your diet, I'm not hiding anything, and I know a few good places in Maurtia Falls that won't pay attention. Let's go! Let's have fun! We could go to a club, get in a dance or three, bar hop! I can drink the whiskey and you've got the bloodwine, yeah?

[Kaneki could probably use a lap dance or something anyway, and Dio was bored.]
dioception: (If this scene were a parish)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-13 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Dio hooked an arm around Kaneki, grinning at him and pressing a finger to his chest.]

That's alright. I'm fun enough for the both of us! [He laughed a little at that. It didn't bother him at all that Kaneki was 'boring'. In fact, that just made the prospect of taking ihm dancing or to a strip club that much more fun!]

So let's do it. You could probably use a night out, what do you say?
dioception: (NEVER FEAR)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-13 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorry Kaneki, you were saying? Dio isn't the best person to talk to if you don't want to get bowled over a little.]

I've got you covered. Bring the bottle along. We're going to have to walk though, I've no idea how to operate a motor vehicle, and I think it's illegal to do so while drinking?

[At that, Dio slid off of his seat, standing up with a stretch. He hadn't gone out himself in awhile, and it had been alone the last few times. Somehow, Dio Brando wasn't great at making friends. Weird, right?

He looked Kaneki up and down for a moment then, scrutinizing.]


Someday, I'll have to get you something to dress up in. Black on black is cool if you're going to some 'alternate' club, but you could definitely stand to put some shine in your clothing~
dioception: (Tryin to pray for change)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-13 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Dio's arm finds it's way around Kaneki's shoulder as he leads him out the door. He pauses long enough to allow him to lock up, since he had so graciously opened the place up just for him.]

Yes, shine! A little glitz and glamour! But no, no Elvis, not to worry.

[Dio preferred a more '80's Glam Rock' style. Come to think of it, Kaneki would look cute in makeup too, wouldn't he? Hmmm... Dio placed a hand on his chin, looking at the young man to his side as if trying to picture what would suit him the best.

His white hair was pretty perfect, along with the whole eye patch thing.]


Don't worry so much.
dioception: (kinda follow him back home)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-13 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dio wasn't in any rush, and just stands nearby. The night is young!

He smiled as he noted the way Kaneki's cheeks turned redder. Yes, he was very cute. Dio decided that as he finished up his assessment.]


No, and therein lies the problem! You dress like you're going to a funeral!

[Dio laughed easily at that, wrapping an arm around Kaneki once more and pulling him close against his side, tugging him along with him.]

Some other time though. Tonight we'll enjoy ourselves and worry about your wardrobe later.
dioception: (If this scene were a parish)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-13 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dio tended to own the personal space of others he was with. You get used to it with him and his boisterous personality.

And Kaneki was right to think that Dio would likely forget about his crusade to get him clothing. After all, he was right, most places would be closed now, and Dio was a busy man who could not go out in even the slightest sunlight.]


You've got it.

[At that, Dio just dragged Kaneki along, taking him all the way along to Maurtia Falls. It always took a little too long, but it was so worth it. The first place they'd hit up was a night club, good for drinks and dancing. Time to start the night off right!

Dio ordered whiskey as he said he would, the stopped time and used his Stand to swipe another glass for Kaneki. No one would notice or miss it, for sure! Though Dio's new dance partner here might find it a little weird that a glass would appear in his hand where it was empty less than a second ago.]


Right, let's get you drinking until you're loose enough to join me on the dance floor!
dioception: (Holy Diver)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-15 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
I've waltzed at a club before. It's not impossible.

[He's actually fairly surprised that the people he's met here that he'd attempted to dance with have both known how to waltz and little else. He was so used to just moving with the music... generally while rubbing his body up against his dance partner.

But if he had to get him to loosen up a little, then a waltz would be fine too.]


Or I could show you how to dance at a night club. [With that suggestion, Dio quirked an eyebrow, then pulling his brand new glass of whiskey up to his lips, downing most of it in one go as if he didn't taste it at all.]
dioception: (Pharmaceutical soup be the best recipe)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-16 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I've very strong feet, not to worry. [Dio responded with a wry grin, polishing off his glass of whiskey. It wasn't as if he'd be able to feel much once he was done drinking.

Dio nodded his head to a side then as he waved a hand.]


Come on, let me show you! You won't learn anything just sitting here.
dioception: (I'm a classy honey kissy huggy)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-08-30 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dio immediately takes Kaneki by the hand, just as soon as he's set the bottle and glass down, tugging him along towards the dance floor.]

Just keep close to me, and forget about everyone else here. [Dio could knock them out of the way anyway, and he certainly wouldn't feel bad for it. He kept hold of Kaneki's hand, his other arm going to hook around his waist, almost seeming like he was intending to try that waltz, but no. The dancing that he had learned from these clubbing experienced had no rhyme or reason to it, but at least he hadn't immediately started grinding on his friend.

He felt like it might be a little early for that. Not because he wasn't interested, more because he wanted Kaneki to feel more comfortable moving around in a crowd first.]


And like I said! [He had to yell above the music and the crowd a little.] Don't worry about stepping on my feet! Just let the music take you!
dioception: (Holy Diver)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-09-03 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dio was perfectly happy to keep Kaneki's body up against his own. That had been the point of dancing, in any case. Getting their bodies thrumming with energy and pressed against each other. Dio was perhaps a little aggressive in pressing their bodies together too, one hand holding Kaneki's, and the other wrapping around his waist to pull him up against him.]

You will not accidentally do anything more awful to me than anyone else has done on purpose.

[And that much was true, even with super strength. If he managed to shatter Dio's foot, he'd be fine. That was a quick recovery.

Dio was smiling the whole while, really enjoying just having someone to go out with him, though Kaneki might begin to notice that his hand was wandering over his body, running up his side while he kept him near just by holding his hand.]
dioception: (Demons think they the meanest)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-09-05 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Poor Kaneki won't be able to ignore it for too long, as Dio takes his silence to mean that it isn't bothering him? He certainly seems to be enjoying the dancing, at least, and that was really the point this night.]

Theeere you go, you're getting it.

[As he praised Kaneki, his arm wrapped around his waist and began to rub gently at his back, hand moving up and down his spine. It was beginning to make dancing like this a little difficult. Still, you'd hear no complaint from Dio, who was truly enjoying himself.]
dioception: (Emotions get the best of me)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-09-06 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Dio does stop his hand moving when Kaneki... says something? He can HEAR him just fine, despite the loud music, but he wasn't saying anything definitively. Just some words that mean nothing strung together.]

What is it?

[Dio's brows raise, and his hand rests on the small of Kaneki's back. He's smirking the whole time, looking rather sure of himself as he notices how red Kaneki's face was.]

Would you like more of a back rub, my friend?
dioception: (Tryin to pray for change)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-09-21 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dio continues rubbing his fingers against Kaneki's back in an almost soothing kind of motion as he looks down to see his head against his chest. Maybe he'd drank too much? Kaneki certainly didn't strike Dio as a big drinker.]

I'm trying to have a good night out, and hoping that you are too. Is there something wrong with that?

[He feels the way Kaneki squeezes his arm, but he's still not entirely sure what the younger man feels about this whole thing.]

Would you prefer that I didn't? I think you could use some relaxation, is all. That's why I took you out this night. For some fun, and to unwind.
dioception: (Pharmaceutical soup be the best recipe)

[personal profile] dioception 2017-10-02 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dio is just going to continue laughing at the way that Kaneki was... so shy about this. He couldn't know about Kaneki's Kagune, but that would certainly add to Dio's slight fascination with the ghoul. Something like that was certainly just horrifically fascinating enough.]

Yeah...? Do you like how it feels when I touch there, or would you rather I stop?

[He was continuing for now, nails very gently raking down his back. Not enough to leave any marks or even tear any clothing, just enough to tease. He leaned his head in as far as he could in order to lower his voice to speak only to Kaneki. It was still a little loud, just to speak above the music, but this way it'd keep any others from hearing.]

I can touch you wherever you'd like.
