just a deranged person @ffsbilly - Tumblr Blog

Viv wasn’t ready to go home yet. After the tragedy, her parents had come to be with Viv and Maya, but she… couldn’t do it. She couldn’t lie to her family about what had happened. Or at least what she thought had happened. Everything about what had happened… seemed wrong.

She was lost in a particular thought when Billy ran into her and she jumped. “Christ… no… it’s fine I was lost in thought. Music for joy or to try and block something out?” She joked.

Billy put his hands up in an apologetic way, "Sorry, sorry." He muttered, not wanting to fully bother the person before him. If anything, Billy cared far too much, he didn't want to bother anyone if they weren't up for being bothered. "Oh!" Billy exclaimed, looking at his headphones hanging around his neck. "Blocking something out, mostly." He chuckled, not realising it was that obviously. "What about you? What're you doing out here?"

Alex enjoyed looking after himself and his body in recent years. His confidence had grown and he liked how he looked so going to the gym had become a regular part of his lifestyle. Though this weekend, his need to go exercise was also caused by the racing thoughts in his head. He’d hit the machines hard, trying to block out everything he’d been feeling and thinking… it hadn’t really worked. He was now sat outside, staring out into the darkness. There could be anything out there.

It took him a moment to even realise the guy was talking to him as he headed out of the door. “No, no sorry. I was in a world of my own there,” he half laughed. “Approve,” he said, nodding to the headphones around his own neck. “Some sad or something upbeat?” he asked, the random conversation actually what he needed right now.

Billy chuckled lightly, “Honestly, I think I was too.” It was true, as well. Ever since Billy moved, he couldn’t help but overthink whether or not he had made the right move. What if he hadn’t? What if he was better just to live life and pretend like everything was fine when it really wasn’t. Isn’t that what vampires were meant to be like anyway? The other ones he had met were all like that, so why couldn’t he be? Why couldn’t he be like the other vampires? Billy felt as though he wasn’t the best human, so how could he even be a worse vampire? It wasn’t exactly like he was a new one, either. Billy looked at the person before him, at least he wasn’t the only person in there head.

The man gave a grin at the question - he hadn’t had a conversation like this one in a while. If he wasn’t talking to himself about what the hell was going on in his life, he was talking to teenagers about how they felt when they read a book. At least this, this was a normal conversation that Billy was happy to have. “A bit of both honestly, mate.” He said, looking down at his phone to see what was playing currently. “I’ve currently got California Dreamin’ playing, but earlier on boy oh boy, as it sad.” Billy paused, a smile growing on his face. “Had some Lewis Capaldi playing, Heavenly Kind of State of Mind, that type of stuff. Man, his stuff is sad but I just can’t help but to run faster listening to it.” He chuckled, pointing at the person’s own headphones. “What about you? What were you listening to?”

Ezra had to be at her best, everything going on in the town left a bad taste in her mouth. She knew that if things went south… someone would have to be to blame. She was already trying to think who she would throw under the bus should things go south. Her eyes glanced around the darkness, it was rare for anybody to be on the streets this late… unless they were kind.

Her eyes narrowed. She made it her business to know the vampires in town. But this one was new. Fresh meat, she thought to herself. “If that’s your hunting technique it needs work.” Ezra replied bluntly, ready to gage the strangers reaction. She needed to know if he was going to be a problem. “I don’t believe we’ve met.” She did not offer a name, instead waiting expectingly for the stranger to introduce himself.

“My hunting technique?” Billy questioned, still fazed with walking into someone. He looked at the person before him for a few seconds until it clicked with him. A vampire. Why did he think he was the only one in town? Did he really think he could move somewhere and pretend he was human for a few years? Did he really think he wouldn’t bump into another one of his kind? He let out a deep sigh, running his hand through his hair.

He looked the woman up and down quickly, trying to gage her and who she was. “We’ve not, no.” Billy murmured, nodding his head ever so slightly. If he was going to stay here and another vampire were staying here as well, he may as well be nice to them. Otherwise it would just end badly for, well, everyone. “I’m Billy.” He told the woman before him, putting his hand out. “And you are?”

open starter! @hollowstarters location: the Starlight House time: evening

Cassandra was heavily debating turning her 'open' sign to 'closed'. Foot traffic had been slow and she had only made a handful of sales today. She hadn't even been asked to do one reading- tarot or otherwise. Besides, there was a bottle of chardonnay and the newest Stephen Graham Jones book waiting for her at home.

She was just taking a step from behind the counter to the door when her windchime began its lovely little melody. Cassandra was quick to rearrange her features into a welcoming smile. "Welcome to the Starlight House. How can I help you today?"

Billy was lost. He didn’t want to admit it, but he was lost. He half listened to directions from an old lady to get to Holloway Books, but he took a few different corners and ended up in front of a place named ‘Starlight House.’ He felt as though he spent too long looking at the front of the shop to not go inside. Billy didn’t know why he went in, he usually just goes, gets what he wants and leaves without a fuss. For some reason, he just really wanted to go inside.

As soon as he walked in, he heard a wind-chime. The pale man smiled gently to the noise it made - how welcoming. His emerald eyes shot up to the noise of someone standing before him. “Oh!” Billy exclaimed, scanning around the shop quickly to try and find something he may want or need or anything to help him in this situation. He usually just went into shops with headphones in and ignored all the workers until he had to pay for what he wanted. “Uh - I’m not sure, actually.” Billy paused for a moment, “I was just sort of drawn to coming in here.” He smiled to the person before him. “It looks really cool, although I feel like I don’t know anything in here. I mean,” Billy picked up an object in front of him, something he had no idea what it was, “What’s this exactly?”

open starter @hollowstarters location: the gym time: evening

It had only been a few weeks since Billy had moved into the area and he was still getting used to where everything was - let alone who anyone was. He had only just finished packing everything and he was yet to put things in their rightful place. He just kept trying to remind himself that Holloway is a new chapter, a new beginning - he can settle here. The thought of settling somewhere was nice to him, but yet he was terrified of it at the same time. What if something went wrong? What if people found out what he is? What if he ends up killing a hole load of people again? “Stop it.” Billy murmured, running his hand through his brown locks. “You’re overthinking again.” The green-eyed vampire sighed, taking his belongings out of his gym locker.

Although he probably didn’t need to work out as much as he used to, Billy made sure to have a routine with everything, just to try and keep some sense of normality. Have coffee, go to work, mark kids essays and then head to the gym before having some delightful blood for dinner. Well, as normal as you can be when you’re a blood sucking creature. Billy walked out of the gym, his earbuds playing music ever so loudly to block out the World around him. He looked down at his phone, flicking through the songs until - “Shit, sorry mate.” Billy looked up, taking an earbud out to speak to whomever was in front of him - if it was someone he recognised, he had it, he didn’t remember anyone he met the past few weeks. “I was too focused on my music, didn’t mean to walk into ya’.”
