Fletcher was having a good night. Already he had thwarted the plans of an overanxious warlock, and sent him back to the drawing board with his attempts to rule the world.
The bar vaguely smelled like dried intestines, but Fletch was sure that was why it had the majority of it's patrons. The vampire gazed around cheerfully through the gloom at the other sad sacks sulking around here tonight. Always a few werewolves feeling sorry for themselves, maybe some elves preening their golden locks in the corner, and some vampires slinking around hoping for an easy meal.
Fletch's slate-gray eyes followed the disheveled warlock as he gathered his things and made for the door. Poor guy, he had forgotten his jacket. Fletch almost hopped off the stool to chase the idiot down, but held himself back. To hell with it.
The conversation had been a short one. Like most egotistical morons, the warlock named Steve had been only too eager to share his plans.
"So when you take over the world..." Fletch had set down the thick ream of papers after reading through Steve's initial agenda, "...How are you planning on taking care of everyone? Managing things? Preventing an upsurge and your own unfortunate demise? Because, you know, if the humans don't object to being ruled by a warlock I'm pretty sure there are other nasties who would."
"Er--"
"Another thing, you don't have enough starting capital to make your first step work. I mean, this assumes a whole lot of variables that border on the edge of fantasy. And, well, you and I should know fantasy. Because we're, well, mythical creatures."
"I hadn't thought of...I'll just....I'll just destroy the world!"
"Ohhh...one of those guys." The one thing Fletch hated besides the angsty annoying types were the ones that figured that logistically it made sense to destroy the world and everyone in it. Just for kicks. It had taken the vampire about three minutes to completely tear apart Steve's plan and send him crying back to his little hole under a bridge.
As the warlock slipped out of the door, a bit ashamed, Fletcher ran his thumb over his teeth.
"What?" He demanded of the other patrons in the bar, "Bite me."
He slammed a few crumpled bills on the bar, took up his lukewarm beer and strolled out whistling.
