Vinny was a man of many talents, some more surprising then others, like cooking. It started when he was young, had to make himself meals while the folks where. .. doing whatever they where doing. Then Alice came along and he learned how to make snakes, when he was in middle school before he ran off, he loved Home Ed. So, to that end her was currently at Ylva's community center, cooking a few meals that could be heated up, but still homemade and taste fresh, currenlty he was cutting up onions.
"You may hate me but it ain't no lie, baby bye bye bye, bye bye!" he hummed to himself as he did a little dance while cooking, he seemed in an element
Ylva for her part had spent the day doing accounting, like the boring paper kind not the fun sexy kind. So now she was wandering through the Center checking in on everyone and making sure all the staff and residents were doing well.
Upon spotting Vinny she moved into the kitchen and hopped up onto the counter watching him.
"Hey. Glad you can enjoy yourself."
he smiled as she plopped down, "So am I, places like these where the best in the day, and it gives me an excuse to get in the kitchen." he hummed NSYNC a bit more, even doing a little twirl and he got some chedder, "Making some chedder and onion biscuits, something nice to go besides tomorrow main meal," he nodded towards the already made French Toast Casserole, Lasagna, and Spaghetti, "Fresh tonight so should be good to heat up for tommorow." he went back to the onions and started to add them and the chedder to the dough, "So, how's it been?"
"Sure, the kids will appreciate whatever they can get."
She takes a long time to consider that. "Pretty mixed. Really busy. Turns out running a business and a non profit really eats into the sexy time."
"Want my advice, too bad you're getting it," he chuckled, "If you're getting some play time far between, find ways to make it even more memorable and more," he chuckled again, "intense." he smirked as he put the biscuits in the oven and set the timer, "But let me say, this place, it's great, it really shows how much ya care."
"If only that worked for me. Its sorta a never ending pit. I appreciate it though."
She blushes slightly. "Thanks, just, giving back how I ca."
"I was on the streets for a few years, and honestly, it was from my own stubborness." he admitted, "Val offered a place to crash, my sister took it while I was a stubborn stupid boy and wanted to be able to provide and shelter myself. . .these places got my by winter." he sighed, "If you think I'm an idiot now, teen years, that. . .god I want to punch myself sometimes." he shrugged as he walked over to the fridge and got out a water bottle, tossing it to her, "So yeah, I totally get you, I make rounds around the local camps and give out food, it's wendy's, five guys, mcdonalds, but it's the most I can get in bulk, while this, this is quality."
She catches the drink tilting her head and opening it.
"Hey, every bit helps. Trust me. I appreciated Wendys so much back then."
Another blush and a shrug. "Just what the shop gives me the Money to do."
"You ever need help on that end, I can talk to Maria, we can send some funds your way, no strings, you're Avery's. . .well, you're the closest I can think to a bestie for them." he leaned against the counter, "And you're Val's pal too, that's two of the people I care most caring for you, so by my book, that get's you all the aid we can offer."
She finishes the bottle chucking it for the bin. "Just gals being pals."
Another shrug. "I do appreciate it even im too proud to take the help most of the time."
"Be careful their, that's something we have in common, and last I checked I was an idiot," he smirked, "Don't want to be like me."
"Being a Gal pal with Val." She says with a smirk and a tilt of her head..
that earned a laugh, "Yeah, ok, fair, we do have more in common." he giggled for a bit, "I'm not going to let her down on that part." he muttered
"Just try not to push her away she actually gives a shit about you."
he laughed, "Oh, I'm not, you don't-" he chuckled, "I'm shocked she knew such a cute chick and never told me, especially-" he caught himself, not sure how she'd take what he was about to gush about
"One that doesn't mind being an on call slut and giving her friends Coke?"
"No, but both are nice," he chuckled, "Um. . .I blame the years of anime but, Shiro, Kanada, Koko Hekmatyar," a small blush, "I think that. . .well, I don't mean to be rude if it is but, Albinism is, I at least, think it's cute."
"You're adorable." She says with a tilt of her head. Hand reaching up to run through her hair and touch her face.
"Its. Its a whole thing. Sunlight is a bitch and stares I get but. Thanks."
Then she adds. "Only because she was buying cheap laced shit. So, I sold her from my stash. The laced stuff will fuck a girl up."
he smiled, blushed a bit at the adorable as well, glad that she wasn't insulted or anything, "Hey, I'm in the fuck the sun club and. . .honestly, yeah, I'm pro recreation but I think something needs to be done for sources, if people are going to use they should at least be safe while doing it." he nodded, "I used a bit when I was breathing, but mainly safer stuff like weed, a tried coke once or twice at parties, but that was about it."
"Oh you sweet summer child. Coke was the safe things compared to what we were doing. But. Yes. Allot of the dealers lace it, increases their profits."
She tilts her head. "Does it not work now? I thought youd be all into that."
a small frown at the mention of harder things, he remembered Val's worse, "It. . .it still works, but I need to," he looked around, didin't know who was listening so he moved next to her and leaned in to whisper, "I need to drink someone whose high to be high, other wise when I smoke it's really just for show, and besides, the blood, that is the.. .nothing compares to drinking it, our brains are rewired, nothing compares." he leaned back to face her normally when he was done explaining
She nods her head in understanding.
"Thats, complex. Huh."
Another nod. "Same with alcohol?"
"I can still drink, but it does nothing, need to second hand drink, and even then, like I eat, I drink, it's a shame for show, I can taste things but I need to hurl a few hours later." he's a known regular at Maddy's, Mt.Dew a few times a week. . .so all those times
"That makes sense considering. So you make food for others instead.'
he nodded, "Yeah, can't really fully enjoy my own cooking, so it makes me happy others can, especially the ones who really need a good meal." he smiled, "I love this town and it's people, if I can do something right by them, it's worth it."
"Whatever helps you sleep at night."
A grimace. "Ya know. As it were.'
"It's fine, it's fine, it's still sleeping." he assures no offense taken or insult given, "I miss dreaming." he does comment
"Okay."
A tilt of her head. "You dont dream when you sleep?"
"When I sleep, I'm. . .well, dead asleep." he winks, "I'm. . ." he looks around, "Anyone else here?" he asked, thinking a presentation would help
She tilts her head looking out the serving window. "Yes."
Then she nods. "Later. Another time. I get it."
he nodded, "Yeah, another time." he smiled, "So yeah, don't dream, which sucks since I used to have some pretty cool ones."
"What? Albino Drawfs bending you over a table? That sort of thing."
She says with a cocky smirk.
And then the door opens and its Klaire, she looks around, almost missing the shortie, before spotting her next to Vincent. She walks over to give the Lost a hug, whispering in her ear.
"Theres a triple order of burgers from Denny's in your office, but don't stay up doing work too late hun."
She stands up straighter, waving to the Vampire.
"Hello there Vincent. Hope you've been doing well."
(Not staying long I think, just being cute)
"Maybe." he teased, "or just being an anime hero, an assassin like Ezio, a wizard battling hordes of demons." he chuckled and then Klaire walked in, giving her a smile, "Evening, I've been well thank you, got some parts of my life in order and been helping out in the kitchens here, how about you?"
Ylva for her part wiggles happily at Klaire. "THANKYOU."
Before running off to go and grab one of said burgers and quickly returning. "I have an ad out for an accountant. Not the sexy kind sadly."
"I am glad Ylva has so many people in the community willing to pitch in. I've been being taught the secrets of the universe" obviously said jokingly....or was it. The tone suggested jokingly, "and grabbing my overworked girlfriend dinner."
She waits until said tiny girlfriend comes back, offering another hug.
"I think the experienced kind would be a better option. Don't ask Jenny, she already has to do a ton at the Escape."
"I know plenty of people who are good at numbers, none that I'd trust with my own money or yours." he chuckled, Vinny's friends are on the up and up, right?, "I'm sure Maria knows where to find some."
Ylva leans into Klaire smiling as she nibbles on her burger.
"I know, I cant ask Mommy she will. Um. Get too distracted." A nod. "Ive had a few people looking into it, its part of what has been keeping me out late. Interviews. Plus."
A sigh. "Trying to replace me at the Escape."
She frowns.
"I'm sorry you can't do both, love. You need to take care of yourself too. Please?"
She looks at Vincent, shaking her head. Not pressing on that matter.
"I only stopped by to give food. I do need to get going. Love you, darling."
A look to Vincent, and speaks in French.
"Dont be stupid. Thank you for helping out here, but don't ruin that."
She turns to head out.
He responded back in French, "Give Rook a head pat for me." he smiled as she walked out, "I think she disapproves of some aspects of my life." he mused softly, "You two are rather adorbs together." he chuckled
Ylva wiggles happily. "Love you. See you at home later."
Then she tilts her head at all of the French. "Ya think so. I think its the crime part."
A nod of her head. "Yes we are."
he nodded, "Hey, I did not choose the thug life, the thug life choose me." dear lord that it a dated meme, "But yeah, I get it, totally do." he shrugged, "I've been to group talks and professional therapy," he revealed, "It's been helpful, actually making decent progress, but it's the first steps on a long road."
"Lordy." She says with a sigh. "And on that note I am going to go finish this burger in my office. Masturbate and finish todays admin."
She starts to head off. "Have a good night Vinny."
he chuckled, "See you around Ylva, I'll head out in about an hour." he said, going back to check on the biscuits
