Sharp Toothed Man

Hello, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Seth Huntington - (very) longtime Vampire. I work alongside the lovely Skylar and Rhia and they've gotten me curious about this place, so I'm here to check things out (Charlie didn't help any, either). Don't be afraid to chat, we aren't all biters around here. {This is an OC ask/roleplay blog for Seth Huntington. I am completely open to all sorts of RPs and NSFW might/could/will/maybe happen.

Skylar’s old Victorian was like a second home to Seth; he knew the place inside and out - almost as well as he knew the Shape-Shifter. And over the course of a little over two centuries, the two had grown close, acting more like siblings than longtime best friends and...

Seth was going through files on his laptop when Maddie crept down the stairs. He set the machine down next to him on the couch and stood, walking up a few feet, but leaving plenty of space himself and her - he didn't want to spook the girl. "Yes, I'm Seth Huntington," he replied, giving her his usual charming grin, but there was a hint of reassurance in it. "And you must be Maddie. I'm sorry we couldn't meet under better circumstances, or with your mum here."

The tall Vampire took a few steps forward and held his right hand out for Maddie to shake. "I hope my presence doesn't make you uncomfortable, love," he said, eyes and smile softening. "Charlie would've come home, but she wanted to stay at the tavern to make sure everything is in order."

And to possibly assist her older sister, should it get to that point.

Skylar's old Victorian was like a second home to Seth; he knew the place inside and out - almost as well as he knew the Shape-Shifter. And over the course of a little over two centuries, the two had grown close, acting more like siblings than longtime best friends and tracking partners. So when he got a very distressed call from a very upset Sky, he packed his bags and drove straight to her community, punching in the code at the keypad and practically flooring his Land Rover through the neighborhood.

He unlocked the front door with the spare key on his karabiner and stepped in, white eyes glancing about the seemingly empty house. "Hello, ladies?" he called, heavy British accent obvious in his deep voice. "I hope I'm not intru-"

"You aren't." Skylar replied from the top of the stairs, and the Vampire stepped inside and shut the door behind him. She rushed down the stairs and flung her arms tight around his neck, squeezing her friend tightly. "I'm so glad you're here..." she mumbled into his shoulder. She lifted her head up and met the worried gaze staring down at her. "Maddie's upstairs, resting. She's really shaken up right now."

He hugged the woman back, then let her go so she could step back. "I can't blame her a bit. And you...?"

"Fine. I'm... I'm fine."

"Y'sure? Because you sounded like you were about to go full-on Rambo on the fucker."

"Who said I wasn't?" she replied, and received a cocked eyebrow from Seth. "You know damn well I can't just sit here and wait for something to happen. I can't. And I won't."

"So chasing him down, by yourself, is the way to go? Skylar, I love you, I really do, but this isn't one of your best ideas..."

"Do you have something better, Seth?" she questioned in return. "Because I have nothing. And I will not sit around, waiting for some dirtbag werewolf to come and hurt my little girl." The white irises flickered to red, and in a lower voice, she added, "I'm not losing another child."

"I know, love. I know." He reached up and took her good shoulder in his hand, giving it a gentle rub. "Go... go finish getting ready. And for the love of all that's good, don't get your sorry ass kicked out there. I don't want to save it."

She let out a snort and pushed her hand away with a tiny smile. "You're the sorry ass here, vampire. Not me. Now, go make yourself useful or something." She waved a hand to shoo him away as she ventured back up the stairs.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night, shifter," he replied and walked into the main room, dropping his duffel on the ground and taking a seat on the couch. When he heard the heavy clacking of Skylar's bag, and the woman appeared in her tracker suit, he knew she meant business. "Be careful out there," he said as he stood up. "Please."

"Always am."

With that, Skylar pulled the front door open and stepped out, closing and locking it behind her. It was only him, Maddie, and the quiet home left.

Rosalyn grinned as she watched Seth and Skylar interact.  It reminded her so much of her and Tolaas.  She pushed back all sadness she felt in his disappearance.  He hadn’t been gone all that long yet, he would most likely being returning soon.  

She nodded and grabbed a glass, filling it with ice and water before she slid it to Seth.  ”It’s a pleasure to meet you too, Seth.” 

“Oh no, she has been an absolute pleasure!  I assume you’re her partner?” She asked.  She would have assumed that they were a couple if it wasn’t for the fact that Skylar had previously told her she wasn’t with anyone, aside from Tolaas.  ”You two must do all sorts of amazing things together.” 

[shift-in-reality]

“See? I’m a pleasure.” Skylar stuck her tongue out at the Vampire next to her. “Partners is a way of putting it…” She said with a roll of her eyes as Seth took the water with a smirk. “We just happen to work together.” She glanced over at Seth and then raised her right arm, placing it on his left shoulder. “And be long-time friends. Isn’t that right, Seth?”

[sharp-toothed-man]

"Don't let the pretty face fool you, Rosalyn." He brushed Skylar's arm off his shoulder and reached over, pinching the Shifter's cheeks with his thumb and picture, puckering her lips out like a fish. "This woman is filled with a fiery temper and more snark than possible. She's perfected it."

Seth let her face go when she growled lowly. "Well, we're sort of partners. And yes, we work together." He took a sip of his water before setting the glass back down. "Wasn't by complete chance. I've known this woman for what... almost 400 years now?" Skylar nodded in agreement. "To be perfectly honest, seeing her smile is amazing enough." He smiled broadly when the shifter looked away, a blush slowly rising on her cheeks.

He never took a day with his friend for granted.

Rosalyn nodded in agreement.  ”I can’t imagine either.  Although I still have so much of my humanity, I’m thankful that I have the benefits of strength and all the good things that come with being a vampire.”  Rosalyn felt lucky that she had been turned into a Living Vampire, it really was the best of all worlds.  ”Everything does change so quickly, it’s almost hard to keep up.  It’s like we went through hundreds of years of simplicity and now within the last hundred years everything has changed.”  

She heard the deep male voice and turned to look in the doorway.  Another vampire. A very, very, attractive vampire.  She grinned as she saw him move toward the bar.  It was obvious he and Skylar knew each other and had a very playful relationship.  ”Oh, no, you didn’t ruin it at all.  It’s nice to meet you, I’m Rosalyn.  Could I get you anything?” She asked.  

[shift-in-reality]

“Humans are rather proficient at coming up with new gadgets, I must say,” she replied with a small tilt of her head. “Two hundred years ago, my sister took great joy in lacing me up in corsets every day. Now, it’s socially acceptable to go out in sweat pants and t-shits.” 

“Oh lord.” She breathed as Seth walked up behind her, “here comes trouble.” She turned in her seat toward the man, quirking her brow at him. “Took you long enough, Sethie. Get lost? Oh, what were you saying about those ‘slow days’?”

[sharp-toothed-man]

"Seth Huntington," the Vampire replied, large smile still across his face. "Just a water, please, love. It's a pleasure to meet you, Rosalyn." He turned his attention back to Skylar, quirking a brow slowly. "Do you know how hard you are to find? With all of this talk about modern technology and you can't even use yours." 

"You see what I have to deal with?" he asked Rosalyn with a dramatic sigh and Skylar rolled her eyes. "It's like I'm married to this woman. You're a brave soul for talking to her." 

He heard the shifter snort and murmur something under her breath.

Staying alive.  That was never something Rosalyn really had to worry about.  In general, she worked in an easy line of work, had what most would consider to be a normal life, and never had to worry about or want for things that many other people had to.  She really did have a rather easy life in comparison to most, but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have her own share of hardships.  ”I am thankful that just staying alive isn’t something I have to worry about often.  I’m not sure if I could be in your line of work.  I remember the first time Tolaas brought me into the ShadowLands, I was terrified and we both knew then that I’d never be a Hunter like him.” She laughed, thinking of the memory.  The happiness that brought quickly turned to a sharp pain as she thought of him stuck there, being taken over by it’s essence.  

As quickly as she could, she shook off her worries and focused once again on Skylar.  She cocked her head to the side and raised an eyebrow.  ”Really?  I don’t know.  Sometimes the world’s progression makes me feel old too.  But sometimes it makes me feel young that there are all of these wonderful changes that I get to live through.  It’s nice to be blessed with the body of a 27 year old for the rest of eternity.” She grinned.  The only part she hated about being a vampire was watching humans she loved die.  Human life was so very painfully short.  

[shift-in-reality]

“It’s not terrible,” she replied with a quick laugh. It was true - she didn’t mind her job. Keeping people safe and out of harms’ way was what she was made for. Of course, it came with its slew of problems, mainly vengeful family and friends of someone she had arrested… or worse. “It’s not for everyone. It can take an emotional toll and there are days where I want to lay in bed and not move an inch because I hurt so bad.” She shrugged. “I can’t imagine what humans must feel.”

“I’ve got a long ways to go before I turn ‘old’ - thousands of years. But to see the way everything is progressing and changing; it goes by so fast.” She traced her manicured nails along the neck of the wine glass. “Watching those around me is probably the worst part. Many will grow old and wither away long before I age even a year. It’s saddening.” It was humans she had the hardest time with; she tended to shy away from befriending any. “So maybe I have fast days and slow days.”

[sharp-toothed-man]

"That sounds about right." A new voice broke through the building, deep and heavy with a British accent. The man strolled up to the bar, hands tucked into his slacks and a large smirk across his face as Skylar's head snapped toward him, her eyes wide in surprise. "Believe me, 'Kye. You have slow days." He gave her a cheeky grin as she suddenly scowled and turned her head toward the bar tender. "Nice to see you again, too."

He took a seat next to the now miffed Shifter, reaching over to pat her thigh. He gave her face a quick glance-over, which he got a narrow side glare in return. "Sorry ladies," he started apologetically, "I didn't mean to barge in and ruin your chat. I was looking for this lady," he nudged Skylar with his elbow. "My partner in crime." He turned his attention to Rosalyn, white eyes glinting as he gave her a toothy smile.
