hatesmostthings: (awk: in bed)
All things considered, that had been a pretty fun weekend.

Okay, so sans gremlin bite, it was unlikely that April would have made those same choices: bondage kind of seemed like a lot of work as a precursor to sex, and if she was going to hook up with someone, she'd rather just skip the middle step and get right to the good part. But it had still been pretty fun, especially as her gremlin-bitten self hadn't really cared about issues of laziness and exerting effort, and hooking up with Eric always made for a good time, so she had no complaints.

Also, she was keeping the leather outfit. Because there was always a chance that she'd get in a mood and want to do that again. So right now, it lay draped over an armchair in her living room, because... well, April didn't know how to wash leather, and anyway, she was kind of comfy on the floor watching Spanish soap operas with her back to the couch, and she didn't want to get up.

In the meantime, she had an untoasted Pop-Tart to eat and was tossing a broken TV remote around for Cliff to catch. This was a good morning.

It wasn't like April to wake up before two PM if she didn't have to, but her sleep schedule was all off right now, so today she did. She'd actually first woken up around sunrise after falling back asleep in the Preserve, then moved to her apartment to walk Cliff and then sleep some more, and it was almost nine by the time she woke up after that.

That was when she made her way up to the roof with Cliff at her side. April didn't actually mind the smell of motor oil or the hum of woodworking stations that were so pervasive up here; those things combined with the rain and the crisp air (which she wasn't completely dressed for, in a light hoodie and jeans) were just welcome reminders that she was away from the dungeon, she was safe, and she was human. Even if the bite on her neck was still healing, when she had thought that it might have just wiped itself away like it had never been there at all.

Being a vampire had been nothing like April had thought. Disillusionment was a bitch.

hatesmostthings: (fact: facepalm)
April might have hated most things, but there were some simple pleasures that she always enjoyed, and sleeping on the couch was at the top of the list.

The good news was that when she woke up today, she no longer felt antsy and inclined to bang random breakfast-making guys or vampires or whatever or tell random British chicks they were hot. The bad news was that she was, you know, awake.

Begrudgingly, April groaned, got out of bed, affixed Cliff's leash to his collar and took him outside, looking not unlike a zombie. A zombie who wore pajamas.
