He had never been a big fan of the modern elevator.
Sure it got you to where you wanted to go in practically no amount of time at all, but Gordon detested pretty much everything else about it. The enclosed space that made one feel as if they were trapped within a coffin, the stench of a thousand reeking bodies of those in the lift and the other things they came into contact with, the blinders that prevented the same humans from watching where their elbows dug into during the ride...
Would they cosy up to him so much, he wondered, if they knew what he was capable of?
Not that it mattered really, the vampire wasn't into causing mass panic and hysteria amongst the common living-folk, after all they were his banks both in a financial sense and dietary sense. There was no need to bite the hand that fed you... Not when the neck was so much better.
*Second floor, Electronics and Hardware, going up!*
If it hadn't been for the fact that the vampire just finished a meeting with the manager of this infernal departmental store, he would not be seen in such a place. Thankfully it was near closing time and the initial body rush had lightened to nothing more than a light drizzle of maybe one or two in the lift with him.
Standing quietly in the corner of the moving box, Gordon took extra care not to touch the walls that were but an inch away from his person. His keen eye having detected the oily sheen of what was most likely the remains of a sweaty, bare human shoulder or back. He would have taken the other corner if it weren't for the fact that it had been a previous location for fornication...
He could almost taste the lingering pheromones.
Filthy animals...
*Third floor, Books and Stationery, going up!*
That chirping voice over the intercom never ceased to somewhat amuse the dark haired vampire. Sometimes he wondered what it would be like to actually have an occupation that required one to speak into a mike, telling people when they'd reached their floor... Oh the mischief to be had.
It would almost be like playing god, getting passengers to move when you wanted to, just because you could.
Then again, it could also be quite tiring. Not much fun once you've had the novelty of messing around with drones, it would lose its initial charm after a few hours.
Just like the elevator ride itself.
Gloved fingers tightened slightly around the handle of his briefcase as the latest person to board the lift began to pick at his nose without a care that Gordon had to play audience to this obscene sight. Pale features barely twitched save for a little narrowing of the eyes and flick of his gaze towards the small camera that tried to hide from view in the corner of the ceiling.
Dirty... filthy...wrong...
He could do it.
Sink his fangs at a speed to rival the motion capturing ability of the security camera, no one would have to know. In fact, he'd be doing them all a favor by ending the life of this one little creature.
Insignificant insect...
But just before the Accountant could even complete the circle of insanity in his head, the lift doors opened once more to free the mortal of an untimely death as he alighted .And Gordon could see that someone else was about to join him.
So he stepped back, and waited.
