WAR: LC Has a Drink (1/1)
by Arletta Asbury, Cousin Shelley, and Poe Frog
Timing: After "Where, oh Where Has My Lush Nick Gone?" by Cousin Shelley



Lacroix entered the Raven and scanned the room looking for
a certain blond vampire.  He spotted a familiar face and
moved toward the bar.

"Hello," he said "I'm looking for Nicholas."

"He's not here," said Vachon before adding, "Join us
for a drink?"  Vachon indicated his young mortal companion, who smiled,
saying, "Nice to meetcha.  I'm Poe."

"Ah, Sorry...." Lacroix began, then reconsidered.  He *was*
a bit hungry, after all.  "Another round," he said addressing
the bartender, "And I'll have what my friend is drinking."

The bartender moved efficiently and brought Poe another root beer.
She put two goblets of red liquid before the vampires.

Lacroix sipped the liquid and promptly choked.  "What *is* this...
this...substance?" he demanded.

"Guinea pig, my favorite" Vachon answered, matter-of-factly.

Lacroix looked at him in horror, realizing for the first time,
that this was not the Vachon that *he* knew.

"I must be going now," Lacroix muttered as he quickly left
the night club.
