[22:24] Galpo bowed his head and resumed sobbing.
[22:24] Smug Vampire Loli: "Nothing gets me hotter under the collar than a grown man crying into his beer." A voice rings from-.. somewhere. Oh no.
[22:25] Galpo flipped the vampire off. "Well, I'm looking for actual advice, not sarcasm. So can it, you Frankestein monster breeder."
[22:27] Smug Vampire Loli: "Not only did you get the wrong monster, you implied I wasn't giving you actual advice - just in my own way. By all means, though, keep that up. You're going to get so much pussy sobbing into a tankard." Eddie steps out of nothingness and towards the man, hooking an arm over his shoulders, smug grin in place. "Girls love when men act like babies, after all."
[22:30] Galpo explained his insult. "You vampires' spawn are born dead, and must be zapped alive before they rot. Hence the nickname." He calmly kept chugging and counted with his free hand. "Three days. Three fucking days of being walked away from by people who fake interest in order to laugh at me, thus proving I'm being less effective than the most brutish and ignorant assgraspers. A result unworthy, for one such as I..." Shaking his head as he grimaced. He'd stopped crying, at least.
[22:33] Smug Vampire Loli: "Wrong," Eddie replies blithely, leaning in close. "We're born human, killed, and then brought back. Live-dead-live, not dead-live-dead. Anyways. Nobody's unworthy of rejection, and you're and idiot if you think that way because you're just setting yourself up for failure. Maybe try.. I don't know, treating people as people and not means to an end - that end being getting your dick wet, and you'd have some more success."
[22:35] Galpo tilted his head at this. Not the explanation of the vampirism, to which he just nodded. "I stand corrected." Clearing his throat. "And that's what I did, tried to be kind and personable. Got walked away from thirty-four times out of each thirty-five approaches. Hence, clearly people don't wish to be treated as people."
[22:36] Smug Vampire Loli: "The fact that you kept track speaks volumes as to why people are walking away from you in the first place."
[22:36] Blike Dawntide: Woh, woh, woh, I'm sorry did you have a tally, that's where I have to take a step back.
[22:38] Smug Vampire Loli: "Oh my god. It-.. you-.." Eddie sighs softly. "Good Lord, man. That's not how you make friends."
[22:42] Galpo frowned. "Let's go back one step. Doesn't the fact someone chooses to walk away after I'm respectfully conversing with them mean they think such interaction is not relevant to their interests?"
[22:43] Smug Vampire Loli: "And? That's their right. They have no obligation, I think that's where you're going wrong, thinking they HAVE to talk to you. That anyone has to talk to you."

[22:44] Galpo blinks. "Well, if these are the results of treating people as people then, let's just say it appears to be a sub-optimal interaction strategy."
[22:45] Smug Vampire Loli: "There is no strategy - what the fuck, man? This isn't-.. there's no cheat sheet. Either someone likes you, or they don't. Crying about it isn't going to get you any pity here. Nor is it gonna make ladies open their legs for you."

[23:50] Smug Vampire Loli: "I'm already seeing a change. I hope. You aren't whining anymore - you're even making jokes, see? That's good."
[23:53] Galpo shakes his head. "It's just the crocodile tail of the drink, muddling my brains. Was meant to be an insult. You see, a minotaur's bodily fluids are addictive if ingested, at least by live humanoids. Dunno if that's the case for vampires." He belched again.
[23:55] Smug Vampire Loli: "Ah, so you're saying you've learned absolutely fucking nothing. Great."
[00:02] Galpo bowed his head, then set the drink aside, speaking to everyone after standing. "Well, sorry for being sad, guys. 'Twas just a bad trio of days, compared to what I'm used to. I'll stop whining." Bowing as he walked to the kitchen and made himself a baguette sandwich.
