[19-22:26] MSG: Nicola Jennings sent a message to Nikolai Drakov.
[19-22:26] 1e8, *Nikolai Drakov : I'm fine. Luckily, he was a quick one. *The next phrase, to those who know what it usually means, sounds icy cold, spoken in English, but with the accent of a language designed to be whispered* Put him in the tub.
[19-22:26] MSG: Nikolai Drakov sent a message to Nicola Jennings.
[19-22:26] 5f9, *Andrew Black : ((Actually a stake in the heart won't kill him; that's what would put him in torper, if I remember WoD vampires right.))
[19-22:27] 1e8, *Nikolai Drakov : Luckily so*
[19-22:27] 595, *Katya Yudin : Right...*Tucks the gun back into it's place, lugging Andrew's body by his legs, the gun shot wounds on his arm causing a trail of blood to follow him as she lugs him out and into the bathroom as requested. Further more she pats him down for any weapons or a wallet of any kind, and then sets him in the bathtub, using the curtains to wipe her hands clean*
[19-22:27] 2f1, ºEnvy: *nod* That's righteo. Tupor it is
[19-22:28] d6c, *Nicola Jennings : (hehe she was planing to finish the job herself if he is steaked then there is nothnig he can do)
[19-22:29] 1e8, *Nikolai Drakov : *Running a hand through his hair, he ascends the stairs and closes the basement door, locking it tight after grabbing a bottle of Vodka from the shelves along with his shotgun from beneath the counter. Pistol in the waistband of his pants, the shotgun in one hand, and his drink in the other, he comes into the bathroom with all the others*
[19-22:29] d6c, *Nicola Jennings : (thats offcourse if she was alloud heeh wouldnt kill a character inless told to or said couild ament cold hearted like that)
[19-22:30] 5f9, *Andrew Black : *Lays there.*
[19-22:30] MSG: Envy sent a message to Andrew Black.
[19-22:30] 1e8, *Nikolai Drakov : ((Ick, you can tell I'm getting tired, hehe))
[19-22:30] 1e8, *Nikolai Drakov : *Looks to Andrew, and then towards Nicola* He's kind of young, isn't he?
[19-22:30] 595, *Katya Yudin : *Stands back to let Nikolai do his thing*
[19-22:31] MSG: Andrew Black sent a message to Envy.
[19-22:31] d6c, *Nicola Jennings : *watches Nikolai closely she knows full well she cant protect him all the time especialy after hwat happend to her while she was at work..she nods to him*That he is more than likely he left it to long and the beast in him took hold he may be ok after a good feed
[19-22:32] MSG: Andrew Black sent a message to Envy.
[19-22:34] 1e8, *Nikolai Drakov : *Eases the door shut with one boot* Cover your ears, this is going to be loud. *He seats himself along the edge of the tub, pressing the barrel of the sawed-off against Andrew's left temple. He positions the curtains around his front so that the blood-spray isn't going to get him any messier than it has to. Pausing, he glances over one shoulder to Katya and the Female Vampire* Well, Nicola, you are the expert here. *His heavy accent leaves him only half-coherent* Should he be allowed to live? He knows of my shop, and he may harbor a grudge.
[19-22:34] MSG: Envy sent a message to Andrew Black.
[19-22:34] 1e8, *Nikolai Drakov : *Affords Katya an apologetic look, speaking in russian*
[19-22:36] MSG: Andrew Black sent a message to Envy.
[19-22:37] 595, *Katya Yudin : *Nods to him, completly understanding that, given the circumstances, there's not much she couldn't she. Speaks back to him, leaning against the wall with her arms folded over her chest* Just give me a ten count when you're about to fire, will ya?
[19-22:37] 5f9, *Andrew Black : *Yup. Still knocked out. Etc.*
[19-22:38] 5f9, *Andrew Black : ((We gotta hurry this up. It's almost midnight. I dun wanna get in trouble. Just do what you gotta do.))
[19-22:39] d6c, *Nicola Jennings : *She sighs deeply*I really dont want this desisision all I will say is he may be fine after he has fed but then again he has seen the shop and he did try to harm you and in my books that warents death ...but....*she thinks*the prince will deal with him...baisicly the big chief as he is breaching every rule in the book
[19-22:42] 5f9, *Andrew Black : *He slowly starts to breach consciousness. The wounds in his arm slowly heal, though the pain remains.*
[19-22:43] 1e8, *Nikolai Drakov : *Lifts the shotgun* Pecking order of the vampire chain, I would guess? *Sets the shotgun down and lifts Andrew from the tub. Whether he knows it or not, he's the first person besides Nikolai to ever leave that tub with their head intact* I only have a motorcycle, I do not have a car. We will take Yeorgi's BMW. *Sends a hard fist for Andrew's jaw in a brutal attempt to put him back to sleep. If he wasn't a vampire, he would've just pumped him full of codeine for a rather blissful rest*
[19-22:44] 1e8, *Nikolai Drakov : ((Should we pause? Or should I just turn Andrew over to Nicola so she can take him to the head cheese vampire? Since about half of us need to go, lol))
[19-22:44] 5f9, *Andrew Black : *The blow knocks his head back, and he opens his eyes slowly, as it wakes him up.* Fuck.... *He whispers.*
[19-22:45] d6c, *Nicola Jennings : Nikolai I have soem work colleags who can get him fed up and keep him out of trouble its also possible to wipe part of his memory
[19-22:45] 5f9, *Andrew Black : ((Pause would be cooler. I hate Princes.
[19-22:45] 595, *Katya Yudin : *Takes her gun back out and reaims* Whatever, just make a decision...((Pause is cool))
[19-22:45] 5f9, *Andrew Black : ((Even when I play Torries I always rebel against the princes. Hatehatehate em.))
[19-22:46] 2f1, ºEnvy: heh well you're lucky. the Prince will have to be NPC'd for now, darling
[19-22:46] 5f9, *Andrew Black : ((Pause until tomorrow then.))
[19-22:46] 5f9, *Andrew Black : ((eviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilprinces))
[19-22:47] 5f9, *Andrew Black : ((Alright yeah. Pause. Bye.))
[19-22:47] 1e8, *Nikolai Drakov : *The Fuck vulgarity sounds off simultaneously with the Click of a CZ-G2k Czech made semi-automatic pistol as it's hammer is drawn back. The barrel is pressed up to Andrew's skull, Nikolai's finger pressed close against the hair trigger* Calm. Calm yourself, you're not going to be killed. Not by us, at least. *His voice a slow, lacksadazical drawl almost*
[19-22:47] 2f1, ºEnvy: Bye Andrew
[19-22:48] 5f9, *Andrew Black : ((night all.))
[19-22:48] 1e8, *Nikolai Drakov : ((Bye bye, take care! I'm glad neither Andrew or Nikolai got killed!))
[19-22:48] 595, *Katya Yudin : ((night))
[19-22:49] d6c, *Nicola Jennings : (yup byse bye take care)

[19-23:49] c00, *Tevesh: ^_^
[19-23:49] 2f1, ºEnvy: : )
[19-23:49] c00, *Tevesh: Whatcha wanna rpizzle aboot?
[19-23:50] 2f1, ºEnvy: 'unno
[19-23:51] c00, *Tevesh: You decide.. Casual meeting between a crazy dude and some other.. lady? Or not? Hooker-woman? :D
[19-23:52] 2f1, ºEnvy: Sounds fabulous. You start me off
[19-23:54]       Tevesh strolls down the street, in his usual get-up. Brown over-coat, black tattered tophat, dark brown pants, black shirt. His cane is in his left and, and his right hand is in his pocket while he whistles.. His black scuffed boots make a dull thump as he strolls down the pavement, eyes on everyone and nothing constant..
[20-00:00] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : *sits on a bench, her legs crossed, smoking a cigarette. One of Cecile's girls, but off duty. Though, she doesn't dress as frumpy as some of Cecile's girls. Black leather pants and a matching top, strapless that zips up the front*
[20-00:03] c00, *Tevesh : ~Is walking as merrily as a completely loony guy can walk, grinning and whatnot.. He slows his walking and stops in front of an unfamiliar woman, his eyes wandering across the people that are walking by.. Gazing at the woman sitting on the bench, he is completely obvious to be staring at her and his face is in complete curiousity as he studies the woman, getting a feel for her mind-wise.. Tips his tophat to her as he approaches..~
[20-00:06] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : *is probably about as unstable as he is... hostile, selfish, and beautiful. She looks him through narrowed eyes after a brief period of ignorance towards him* Can I help you?
[20-00:10] c00, *Tevesh : ~Grins widely as he looks at her.. Notices her sharing his "gift." Sort of.. The veins of madness curl about her feet as he stares at her, licking her flesh as slowly encroaching upon her mind and burning her soul.. He feels her mind's pain, probably just thinking he does.. ~ Nothing is needed, just admiring the sights and people and noise. ~Nods slowly as he starts his babbling routine, testing her limits of sight on the glass plane..~ What we see is something curling, something biting and burning.. About your feet and through my head, what I see..
[20-00:13] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : *takes a drag from her cigarette* Whatever man, I'm just waiting for a bus. *hikes a thumb over her shoulder to a large, intimidating man leaning against the building behind her. A bodyguard that Cecile hired for her after a near... incident* Don't even think about it.
[20-00:16] c00, *Tevesh : ~Slowly inclines his head to the left, trying to understand her.. He kneels down to the ground and scratches his head..~ Try what, may I ask? Rape and kill, destroy and hurt and spill the life-fluid upon the ground? No, no. Nothing like that, I don't feel anything along that. Just see you, the veins in your feet and digging into your skull.. I'm nothing more like a killer and rapist, nothing at all. ~Bows his head lightly as he realizes what she says and looks at the guy..~
[20-00:19] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : My feet? are you some kind of foot fetish freak or something?
[20-00:21] c00, *Tevesh : ~Stares at her, his eyes meeting hers.. She sees the usual thing, a conflicting battle.. Complete and utter lack of sanity, barely keeping control.. A small barrier of glass, speaking metaphorically, keeping him from snapping.. Knowing no more than he should, his mind invaded by the Cobweb.. He stares and slowly raises his hand to his mouth, shakes his head and sits cross-legged on the sidewalk..~ No, no.. ~Points at the ground, where he sees the veins..~ Black and full of hate, you see what I see. Or a portion of it..
[20-00:27] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : I don't even know what you're talking about... did you forget to take your medication or something? *the conflict is pretty much over with her. Sje
[20-00:28] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : ~cont *she's pretty much just pissed off all the time, but some guys get into that*
[20-00:29] c00, *Tevesh : ~Stands up and feels his mind poking out at her.. He looks and hangs his head, not sure what to say.. Was he wrong with his judgement?~ Was I wrong about you? Am I failing to see what should be seen? ~sighs and opens his eyes wide as he stares at her, sort of realizing she's a human for the first time and not one of the visions.. Heh~

[20-00:33] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : Well, it would certainly appear so. *flicks her cigarette into the ditch* I've seen you around, you know.
[20-00:34] c00, *Tevesh : You have, eh? ~Nods slowly..~ Where and when? ~Is curious, thinks he's seen this woman before too.. Nods slowly as he watches.. and waits for an answer~
[20-00:35] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : With Cecile in the club. *doesn't figure that she has to say when. He should know.*
[20-00:39] c00, *Tevesh : ~Grins again..~ Cecile, yes.. I know her. She is nice.. ~Nods slowly as he remembers, reliving the event~ I know, I see. I've never seen you before, but you know we don't remember very well. Mind is twisted and torn, so that we can seee what isn't seen.. ~taps his head and lifts his hat and runs a hand through his hair, putting his hat back on..~
[20-00:40] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : I just saw you talking to her. You probably wouldn't have seen me *raises a brow, regarding him* So... are you always such a basket case? Or is this some kind of act especially for me?
[20-00:42] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : (*waves to Richard belatedly*)
[20-00:44] c00, *Tevesh : Basket case? Insane. Insanity is just laughing at the unheard joke.. I laugh often.. ~Smiles slowly and widly, staring at her unblinking..~ You don't see what I see, you don't feel what I feel. You call me insane.. I call you blind.
[20-00:44] 94e, *Richard Gatts: (hello *waves back*)
[20-00:45] c00, *Tevesh : ((Word up, Richard. *wave n stuff*))
[20-00:46] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : Maybe I just wear sunglasses... Is someone looking for you? *is sure this guy must have escaped from somewhere* ( you can jump in. we're not being exclusive here)
[20-00:49] c00, *Tevesh : Looking for me? No, no. Nobody. I'm by myself, off in the world looking for what the Web might feel neccessary for me to learn.. Is anybody looking for you? ~grins, trying to joke a bit..~
[20-00:52] 94e, *Richard Gatts: (*would buts on pause.... with both character*)
[20-00:53] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : *chuckles lightly* I certainly hope not. That's why he follows me around *again nods towards her bodyguard* to mak sure that nobody looks for me
[20-00:55] c00, *Tevesh : ~Nods, nods..~ I've been sought after, but by malicious bone-gnawing, blood sucking bastards.. ~Sighs..~ Pig-masked freaks with tentacles of hate. Nothing to see though.. ~Continues to sit on the sidewalks, looking around at the city..~ Why are you here in the City of Angels? ~is a straightforward crazy..~
[20-00:58] c00, *Tevesh : ~looks at Marley as she leaves and boards the bus without answering... Sighs and continues on his way.. Is gone.~
[20-01:00] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : I was born here. It's my city... have yet to see any angels, though. Just a bunch of blood sucking bastards.
[20-01:04] c00, *Tevesh : Angels, angels. Seen many, knowing nothing.. I'm new here, just came and noticed the sights and people.. Madness pools here like no other place.. Maybe Vegas.. ~smiles broadly and looks at her..~
[20-01:06] 2f1, ºMarley Watkins : Vegas isn't that bad. Bunch of silly drunk tourists running around losing money.

[20-21:07] 221, *Cookie Monster: Cool. Anywhere you'd like to place her? Bar, the strip club, bus stop?
[20-21:08] 448, *Jayde: Bar
[20-21:15] 221, *Jihan Aloula: *in the Depot bar sit two dark Skinned women. One of them looks to be in her mid-twenties and has fiery red hair that doesn't look like it would be a natural color. She wears a belly showing t-shirt and jeans. The girl beside her looks like she might have just hit 18 and wears a black tube top and jeans. The older one is talking to the younger one while they drin*
[20-21:17] 448, *Anwen Gray : *she walks cautiously through the door into the bar, a coat wrapped tightly around her slender form. It wasn’t so much that she actually thought that anyone would recognize her that would tell on her being out of the apartment without permission, as the lingering fear that it would happen. But no one that would be in a position to tell on her would be in this part of the city. The risk was worth it anyhow, even if it only meant being out for a short time tonight. She was being extra careful on this outing and had worn her gloves, not that she couldn’t control her power, but it made an accident less likely. She walks over to the bar to order a drink and she sits down, looking around with a slight smile of curiosity at the others inside the establishment, never ceasing to be awe struck by simply watching the interactions between others*
[20-21:20] 221, *Jihan Aloula: *the older one is obviously also the more assertive one, as the younger girl barely seems to be able to look up from her glass most of the time.* I'm telling you Damali. You'll get a lot more money if you do a REAL lap dance. Just shaking your tush isn't gonna get the money.
[20-21:20] 221, *Damali Aloula: I like dancing... but I don't like the other stuff...
[20-21:23] 448, *Anwen Gray : *tries not look as though she’s watching the two women farther down the bar, but she is, and listening to them. She can figure out what they are talking about, it’s not hard to deduce, and she rests her chin in her hand after putting her elbow on the bar, taking her drink in the other hand while she listens, frowning slightly. It didn’t sound like the younger one was to happy about the line of work*
[20-21:27] 221, *Jihan Aloula: Thats why you get paid more for the other stuff.
[20-21:28] 221, *Damali Aloula: So what? Eyad would take all of the money I would make and still leave me with my twenty dollar "spending money". *by this time it is apparent they both have accents, but they are very smooth and pleasant rather than difficult to understand*
[20-21:34] 448, *Anwen Gray : *tilts her head as she frowns deeper, assuming that Eyad was some kind of pimp if he was going to take all the money and leave the girl only 20. Even Anwen received more than that as her allowance. A lot more, and while it could be argued she was in the same kind of work as what these two are apparently talking about, it wasn’t as much work or pain on her part. She takes a sip of her drink and turns slightly to sit more comfortably on the barstool but it causes her elbow to slip and she falls forward at the sudden loss of support to her arm, then she finds herself falling over backwards off the stool in her effort to stop herself from hitting her chin on the bar by jerking back. The jarring impact with the floor causes her to cry out in pain as much as surprise*
[20-21:39] 221, *Jihan Aloula: *the two look over at Anwen with surprises, interupting their conversation. Jihan stays where she is, but Damali gets off her stool and moves over to Anwen to help her up*
[20-21:39] 221, *Damali Aloula: Are you allright?
[20-21:41] 448, *Anwen Gray : Thank you *stares at the floor as she accepts the help up to her feet, terrified that she was eavesdropping will somehow be obvious, despite the fact she hadn’t actually been caught. She brushes herself off, adjusting her gloves after she gets back to her feet* I’m fine…probably a little bruised, but other then that I’m fine.
[20-21:45] 221, *Damali Aloula: Perhaps you should try sitting in a booth. *gives her a friendly wink* I'm Damali.
[20-21:50] 448, *Anwen Gray : Perhaps…I’m not usually that clumsy *stills stares at the floor, glancing up periodically. She knows her face has turned beet red at this point, but there isn’t really anything to do about it* I’m Anwen

[20-22:07] 448, *Anwen Gray : *nods, the red mostly gone and just a hint of it is left in her cheeks, relatively sure that she hasn’t been caught. But she still felt guilty. Funny how she never felt guilty unless there was a chance she would be caught.* Alright.

[20-22:10] 221, *Jihan Aloula: *gives Damali a hard eye for a second, under which Damali seems to inwardly curl up from. She then gives a smirk and looks over to Anwen. I'm Jihan. Nice meeting you. *then back to her "sister"* Sure. I suppose we could do that.
[20-22:13] 448, *Anwen Gray : It’s nice to met you too, I’m Anwen *notices the look, feeling badly for causing any trouble between the two, but is to afraid to speak up to that effect, so she just smiles a little nervously*
[20-22:21] 221, *Damali Aloula: *looks releaved and leads Anwen and Jihan over to a booth, scooting into it*
[20-22:24] 448, *Anwen Gray : *sits down into the booth after grabbing her drink that was still sitting on the bar, still feeling nervous, but there wasn’t a whole lot that she could do about it now. She’d already agreed to sit down, but she doesn’t know what to say. She’s not good at talking, she never was, and it’s not getting any better under pressure*

But every once in a while she feels the need to reach out to somebody. So. Did you want a quaint little chat between bargoers that likely will never see eachother again or something else?

She doesn’t know how to react to it, but she knows she doesn’t want the ‘something else’* Quaint little chat I think is best

[20-22:35] 221, *Jihan Aloula: *smirks a somewhat mischevious grin at knowing she's causing some discompfort* Well then. Where are you from?
[20-22:39] 448, *Anwen Gray : This city. I’ve lived here all my life *looks down as she takes a sip from her glass, wondering how she could have let herself end up in a situation as uncomfortable as this*
[20-22:42] 221, *Damali Aloula: We're both recent arivals in this city, as well as this country... *falls of feeling Jihan would rather speak, which she does*
[20-22:42] 221, *Jihan Aloula: So, what do you do for a living?
[20-22:46] 4cc, ºEnvy: well, lovelies. I'm exhausted. I'm heading off to bed. I'll catch you later! have fun
[20-22:48] 221, *Jihan Aloula: ((night night love!))
[20-22:48] 448, *Anwen Gray : Nothing *said simply, not feeling like she needs to elaborate. It’s pretty much the truth anyway, she didn’t really do anything. She wouldn’t call her situation prostitution anymore, it was beyond that at this point. She just…was. She didn’t even really have to perform the way she used to, and the man who acted as her keeper didn’t even really let his friends come near her anymore. He mostly seemed to want her just to be there to listen to him complain and to provide comfort, and to let him pretend they were something they weren’t* What do you do?
[20-22:49] 448, *Anwen Gray : ((*waves* Night))
[20-22:49] 221, *Jihan Aloula: Dancer, of the exotic sort.
[20-22:55] 448, *Anwen Gray : *she nods, not seeming surprised at all or even trying to pretend to be, it didn’t seem to serve any real purpose to pretend to be* What club do you work at?
[20-22:57] 221, *Jihan Aloula: The Burning Bush. I got here, looked for a job, and the name caught my eye.
[20-23:00] 448, *Anwen Gray : Ah…*turns her head to look at Damali* And do you work there to?
[20-23:01] 221, *Damali Aloula: Uh huh. Damali thought it would be a better job than working at a fast food place.
[20-23:06] 448, *Anwen Gray : *tilts her head, not understand that logic at all* Why is that better?
[20-23:10] 221, *Damali Aloula: I'd much rather dance than package burgers.
[20-23:13] 448, *Anwen Gray : Okay…I guess that makes sense *shrugs slightly as she take another drink from the glass in front of her, thinking of mentioning that there were other kinds of dancing, but it wasn’t her place and she didn’t want to get into that argument with anyone*
[20-23:17] 221, *Damali Aloula: *both take long drinks from their glasses.*
[20-23:20] 448, *Anwen Gray : *still doesn’t know what else she should say, and just finishes off her glass, pulling at her gloves nervously. She can’t help thinking that she shouldn’t have come out tonight at all, then she wouldn’t be sitting here now, trying desperately to think of something to say and coming up with nothing*
[20-23:24] 221, *Damali Aloula: So do you come here normaly? *gives her a reassuring smile, as much for Damali's own sake as Anwen's* I'd sure like company when I go out drinking.
[20-23:26] 448, *Anwen Gray : No…I don’t really go out much. I’ve only been here once or twice before. I don’t know that many people…and the ones I do know usually tell me not to go out by myself. They say it’s not safe…and I suppose that can be true, but sometimes I just can’t resist. It’s no fun sitting at home all of the time.
[20-23:30] 221, *Damali Aloula: I know what you mean. I just got off work, so thats why I'm with Jihan. I don't normaly go with her though.
[20-23:36] 448, *Anwen Gray : It must be nice to have family around…*she trails off as she thinks about it, then suddenly tenses. She shouldn’t be here, and it suddenly felt like she needed to hurry home, as if she was going to be caught if she didn’t get back soon* You know…I really should be going. ((I gotta run after a couple more posts))
[20-23:39] 221, *Damali Aloula: ((no prob!)) Oh.. okay. *looks sad that somebody new she just met has to leave... and hopes it isn't because of her own actions* Well, it was realy nice to meet you.
[20-23:40] 448, *Anwen Gray : It was nice to meet you to *smiles sadly, wanting a little bit to stay, but knowing better. Somehow she’s worried that her hunch is more than just a hunch, and that if she doesn’t get home soon she will be caught. She gets up out of the booth and smile again* Maybe I’ll see you again sometime.
[20-23:47] 221, *Damali Aloula: *smiles at her* Uh huh! *waves as she leaves* ((nice RPing with ya)

That price includes ammunition. *He stabs the cigarette out on the counter and kneels, taking two sleek, black polymer Walther P99A's and laying them on the counter. He grabs a pair of H&K USP .45 pistols with elongated barrels and flash suppressors as well, setting them down beside the other two firearms. Opening a long metal box, he begins assembling an MP5, which he hands directly off to her* Hold this a moment. *The shortbarelled M4 rests on a shelf within reach, and he grabs it last, laying it down within her reach. Grabbing up several boxes of ammunition for each, he readies them before tossing them all into a dark green tin munitions box* How will you be paying, and when will you be by to come pick these up?

I don't think taste has much to do with it. *She reaches out, takking the Mp5 and looking down on it, lifting it to test its weight.* I'll be paying in cash, and I can return later on this evening in something more..accomodating, if that is convienient for you. *Whether it was convenient or not, she was coming back.

I would hate to be on your bad side, especially since you are far more ambitious than me. You might want to speak with Nicola, she could undoubtedly hook you up with a job as a dancer. It would be healthier for you than prostitution, anyhow, though I am not your father. Do what pays the bills best, so long as you can stomach it. *He affords her a thin, rare smile*

[22-13:10] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : (*drags Jayde in with one of those sheep herding hooks*
[22-13:11] 5f9, *David Ambrose : ((Oh, nevermind.))
[22-13:11] bc7, *Jayde: lol *is dragged*
[22-13:11] a39, *Harmonia : *nods at David and gets the drink, handing it to him and handing the 5 back to him* First one is on the house honey. *she extends her hand* I'm Harmonia by the way
[22-13:14] 5f9, *David Ambrose : *He takes her hand lightly and generously.* David. *He takes back his hand and sips his beer. The $5 remains on the bar; he knows he'll be ordering more.*
[22-13:16] a39, *Harmonia : Nice to meet you David. *she'll smile at him and finish wiping down the glass that she had in her hand and leans against bar, the mirror behind her stretching the whole width of the bar and she'll look at David* So what's your story? *looks at Jeremy* You too. What story do you have to tell?
[22-13:17] 5f9, *David Ambrose : Nothing interesting. Just moved here from New York. *Drinks some more. Goddman, I love that shit..*
[22-13:17] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : *finishes the last of the beer before him. His eyes briefly turn to David. Very briefly, then back to Harmonia when he's asked for a story.* What?
[22-13:19] JOIN: Jonathon Brice has entered.
[22-13:19] a39, *Harmonia : *she looks at David, the smile still one her face* I'm sure that's all. *she is obviously joking and looks at Jeremy* What's your story? Where'd ya come from?
[22-13:20] bc7, *Anwen Gray : *walks into the bar quietly, hoping to avoid catching to much attention. She’d gotten home barley in time the other night to avoid getting caught, but then she’d asked for permission to go out. She’d gotten it for the daytime hours for three hours a day if she wanted it, as long as she called first. She’d called today, but she’d lied about where it was she was going*
[22-13:20] 5f9, *David Ambrose : ((Have to let my dog out, but she's been a bitch (no pun intended) lately, so I have to go with her. BrB.))
[22-13:22] bc7, *Jonathon Brice: (Hmmm...)
[22-13:22] a39, *Harmonia : *she looks at Anwen as she enters and offers her a smile* Hey, what can I get you?
[22-13:24] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : *glad to have the attention averted from him, he flips the page in the sketchbook... though another beer would be nice. Should he risk it?(
[22-13:27] 5f9, *David Ambrose : *Finishing the last gulp of beer, he orders another, pushing the fiver up. David eyes the patrons before looking directly at the mirror across the length of the wall. He thought back to the vampires he had known that have broken the masquerade, and condemned because of such a simple thing.*
[22-13:28] bc7, *Anwen Gray : Do you serve daiquiri’s? *take a seat carefully and folds her hands, unfortunately one of the requirements about being allowed out unsupervised meant she had to wear gloves at all times, which were turning out to be uncomfortably hot*
[22-13:29] a39, *Harmonia : *she looks at David and nods giving him another one and smiles, she thinks for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts. Mostly she is thinking of the few vampires she knows. SHe looks at Anwen and nods, she makes the drink and hands it to her* There ya go. *extends her hand* Name's Harmonia
[22-13:30] 5f9, *David Ambrose : ((You should really just wear a nametag. Save you a couple syllables.))
[22-13:31] bc7, *Anwen Gray : *looks at the hand, confused for a moment, but then shakes it* Anwen…*pulls her hands back and takes a drink from her glass, not used to meeting a bartender that’s all that friendly*
[22-13:31] a39, *Harmonia : ((*thinks about that* May try it, but I don't like nametags that much.))
[22-13:33] a39, *Harmonia : *she smiles and leans back against the bar, just looking at the patrons that are in her bar and smiles, happy that people like the bar*
[22-13:34] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : *finally just goes for it* Can I have another beer, please? *slides the empty one towards her, the condensation leaving a little wet trail behind it*
[22-13:35] a39, *Harmonia : *she smiles at him and nods, grabbing the empty one and tosses it, she grabs him another one, handing it to him* There ya go
[22-13:38] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : Thanks *takes a healthy swig of the beer, though it's not a desperate gulp. He's not stressed... not after drinking himself into a stupor. He's obviously just someone enjoying his time off*
[22-13:41] 5f9, *David Ambrose : *He wonders about Anwen, just as he contemplates wreaking some havoc with a possession. He shakes his head, knocking the idea from his mind, and drinks some more, staring at the bar. Why am I here, in LA? Even he didn't know the answer. It wasn't exciting as one might think: a getaway, a mission, a chase. It was merely a spontaneous decision that took him from one shithole to another.*
[22-13:43] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : *chuckles, his hand busy filling up the new page* I'm usually the quiet one in a bar *said it outloud when he didn't mean to, but he doesn't seem to bothered by the fact that he did*
[22-13:44] a39, *Harmonia : *she nods and shrugs* That can be a good quality to have. *she looks over at David, noticing he is tthinking about something then looks back out at the people in the bar*
[22-13:49] bc7, *Anwen Gray : ((Sorry, gotta take care of something in the other room, is why I'm being to quiet))
[22-13:49] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : (*loves this pic* hehe. everyone should eat cereal while fully dressed and in the shower) D'you have a radio or something in here?
[22-13:50] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : (kick some ass, Jay)
[22-13:51] a39, *Harmonia : *she nods and heads over to a corner of the bar, flipping the radio on to a rock station, her favorite one.*
[22-13:57] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : *finally just closes the book. His eyes aren't doing so well on focusing anymore* The light is pretty shitty in here. I mean... most bars have shitty light, but this one is pretty dark.
[22-13:58] a39, *Harmonia : *she looks at him and shrugs* Needs to be fixed, but then again some people prefer the light in here.
[22-13:58] 5f9, *David Ambrose : Because of the inhabitants. *He finishes his drink and pushes the glass forward.*
[22-14:00] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : It was just an observation. *taps the book with his pen... an annoying habit he picked up in about 6th grade* It doesn't really bother me. It would just be traumatic in the day time to walk out of here. Probably destroy some retnas
[22-14:01] a39, *Harmonia : *she laughs a little* So far, no one has complained, but then again also I try and have the windows down here open. *looks over at David and takes his glass, a smile on her face* Want a refill?
[22-14:04] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : *can't usually drink before night time anyway because he works until 8.. sometimes 9 if someone asks really nicely. He has no comment on the ventalation*
[22-14:04] a39, *Harmonia : Also when I inherited this place it had it's problems. I got a lot of the major ones fixed
[22-14:05] a39, *Harmonia : ((brb, going to make lunch and put in a load of clothes))
[22-14:06] 5f9, *David Ambrose : *He snaps from his train of thought.* No thanks hun, I'm good.
[22-14:06] 5f9, *David Ambrose : ((I have to go shower and whatnot I smell.)
[22-14:07] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : It happens with old places *quietly nurses his beer, deciding after this one, he'd better leave. it's at The Point... where you either need to stop or just plain get shitfaced*
[22-14:12] a39, *Harmonia : *she nods to David and looks at Jeremy* Very true, but as far as I know this place is only 20-30 years old
[22-14:14] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : The city eats buildings *a brief way of explaining the pollution and crazy weather that trashes buildings, but it works*
[22-14:17] a39, *Harmonia : *nods* Very true. Kind of frightening at times
[22-14:20] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : I guess... not as bad as New Orleans, though. Their buildings have a hell of a time. Just rotting and stuff *the fourth beer has loosened his tongue considerably*
[22-14:21] a39, *Harmonia : New Orleans? *perks a brow* Are you from there?
[22-14:23] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : No. I saw it on the Discovery channel *of course, he'd lived there for a bit, but he wasn't paying much attention to the cause of the decay... but he did enjoy the decay itself*
[22-14:25] a39, *Harmonia : *she shakes her head lightly and smiles* I knew you had a story to tell
[22-14:28] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : Not really... I just watch a lot of t.v.
[22-14:33] 9b4, ºJeremy Black : (son of a bitch. I have to go. This kid is driving me crazy) *he reaches into the pockets of $15 to her... which is plenty to cover the beer and a generous tip* Thanks. I'll see you around. (bb later tonight)
[22-14:33] a39, *Harmonia : *nods and leans against the bar* Uh-huh

[23-00:17] 221, *Jihan Aloula: Cute face like yours? I could probably get some help in wrestling you down. *sticks her tongue out at him then retreates to the changing room*
[23-00:19] d53, *Kailynn Benson : *returns the slight smile with one of her own* You'll have to come in and sit down though. *has to wonder why he's acting like he's going to bail. After all, he did find her out. She stands, going into the kitchen to make the drink*
[23-00:26] 4d9, *Dunstan Ryder : *smiles a little with a laugh and walks farther in and over to the couch, sitting down, feeling slightly less nervous. It wasn’t like he really needed to feel nervous logically, not that kind of thinking actually helped any*
[23-00:30] d53, *Kailynn Benson : *returns with only one glass in her hand, which she hands to him* She sits on the couch as well, since she just tossed the recliner and is still looking for the perfect one... she's like a man when it comes to the chairs* I tend to make them a little strong. I like to taste my alcohol.
[23-00:34] 4d9, *Dunstan Ryder : That makes sense, if you don’t want to taste alcohol, then you shouldn’t drink alcohol *takes a sip of the drink, it’s actually not that bad, or it doesn’t seem that bad to him* It’s good. Just enough of both.
[23-00:39] d53, *Kailynn Benson : *smiles slightly... well he likes how she makes her drinks at least. She rests her arm on the back of the couch, turning carefully, as if she were very stiff.* You don't make many social calls, do you?
[23-00:46] 4d9, *Dunstan Ryder : I’m that obvious? *smiles and laughs a little* Well, I guess I am that obvious…and no…never really have. I’m doing badly then?
[23-00:49] d53, *Kailynn Benson : You're doing fine, actually. I'm glad that you came by. I thought that I scared you off.
[23-00:52] 4d9, *Dunstan Ryder : Do I look like I scare that easily? *smiles at he takes another drink from the glass* It’ll take a little bit more to actually scare me off.
[23-00:57] d53, *Kailynn Benson : I'd hoped so. *rests her head on her hand, the elbow on the back of the couch* How're your stitches?
[23-01:00] 4d9, *Dunstan Ryder : Still there *shifts a bit at the mention, having forgotten for a while, since at now they didn’t hurt anymore* But no infection, another few days and it looks like I’ll be able to take them out.

[23-01:09] 4d9, *Dunstan Ryder : Fast enough, and I’ve been treating it with a few things that I’ve been taught over the years…you look eve more tired than before.*he didn’t miss that her eyes had closed for much longer than your average blink* I don’t want to keep you up if you’d rather go to sleep.
[23-01:12] d53, *Kailynn Benson : I think I'm coming down with a flu or something... *rubs her forehead, feeling a little more warm than usual, but that's common when she's tired*
[23-01:18] 4d9, *Dunstan Ryder : *frowns and reaches over before he can think about it and touches her cheek with the back of his hand* You do feel a little warm. How long have you felt like you might be have something?
[23-01:22] d53, *Kailynn Benson : I forgot you were practically a doctor *turns her head, more than a little embarassed* Just a few days... I'm alright. Just waiting for it to hit me. *no little virus has made her cramp and ache like she had today, but that could really be anything* I just need to sleep. Maybe you should go.
[23-01:27] 4d9, *Dunstan Ryder : Probably the best idea…*he stands up, setting the glass down nearby* Just…take care of yourself and watch out. This doesn’t sound like it’s going to be something that’ll go away very quickly. If you need anything….*trails off, what was he going to say really? You can call me?* …I’m sure you have friends you can call.
[23-01:31] d53, *Kailynn Benson : *nods, really wishing that it had just gone away* I'll be fine *and who exactly would she call? She could always leave a message for Cecile, who would certainly see to it when she had the time* Thanks for coming by... next time, I'll be better company *an obvious invite* I'll even order pizza.
[23-01:34] 4d9, *Dunstan Ryder : As long as it doesn’t have onions on it *smiles as he walks over to the door to let himself out, he doesn’t want to make her do anymore than she should. He pauses in the doorway, looking back for a second* Really, take care of yourself *turns and walks out closing the door behind him and head downstairs out to the street, then hails a cab to take him home*

[24-23:21] 595, *Katya Yudin : Yes, yes, funny how things work out, huh? One minute you're robbing banks and causing trouble for the law, the next you're the leader of a country and essentially..the law. Oh well..as they say..the world works in mysterious ways. *Smiles, sipping some water and slipping onto a stool*
[24-23:23] 221, *Damali Aloula: *Damali's smile solidifies as she's now more compfortablw with Katya* I'm Damali.

[24-23:30] 595, *Katya Yudin : *Nods, noticing the accent* Oh yes, he's a pure ruskie like me and some of ther others that inhabit this place. Just the kind of place that attracts us I guess...though judging by yourself I'd have to say it attracts other types as well....if you don't mind me asking, what might you be, Damali?
[24-23:33] 221, *Damali Aloula: I'm from the Arab states. My family has moved between them so often I can't remember which one we're originaly from ((I need to give up the computer for about twenty minutes. Be here when I get back?))

How ironic...I've been looking for work as one...*Takes another sip of the water, ordering another whiskey* Nikolai didn't exactly like it when I said I was a..*coughs slightly* lady of the night..? And he offered to get me work as one since he knew someone...and to tell the truth, I've been wanting to get out of that...at least in a bit more..oh...safer environment so to say. *Glances over to Zarr as he enters also and has the same reaction as Damali* My my...someone's packing...

Some of the dancers do more than just dance, but you don't have to.
[25-00:17] 4b0, *Zarr: **also has two throwing knives on eachboot aswell.. his gloves have metal plates. each with 4 spikes which curve forward and are very sharp.. hears the comment made by Katya.. he speaks in a southern accent** when you live a life like mine, theres no other way to ....** stops ** the name's Zarr Darkhaven (( theres about a 35 percent chance that one of them has heard of him if either is a vampire))

[25-00:22] 221, *Damali Aloula: *chuckles* I'm not sure where they got the name... but one of the dancers has a fire act where the name is literal.

[25-19:00] 595, *Katya Yudin : ((Envy? Ya still alive out there?))
[25-19:01] 221, *Damali Aloula: And then you'd be cutting in on my business. *puts a second load into another washer then settles down onto the bench conveinantly provided for one's waiting pleasure*
[25-19:02] 228, *Clarissa Green: (here. I'm cleaning too)
[25-19:04] 595, *Katya Yudin : Exactly, and I don't want to do that now do I? *Settles down next to her, crossing one leg over the other at the thigh and letting her skirt ride up to show a nice amount of tanned thigh underneath* So...tell me more about the Burning Bush...how's it working there? Decent people? Customers? I wanna know all about it.
[25-19:05] 228, *Clarissa Green: *turns the page, taking the opportunity to glance up at both of them. She could just imagine what would happen to a woman in this city if she walked around in just her underwear. Judging by what she'd seen done to women, and men for that matter, wearing much more conservative attire, she decides it better to not think of it. Her follow Damali as she sits, not all too far away from herself*
[25-19:09] 221, *Damali Aloula: Whenever its got lights on, its pretty clean. I feel about as safe as you can get in the sort of environment we're talking about. The girls I work with are pretty nice. The customers are pretty relaxed. I don't do anything but dancing, so I get a lot of disapointed looks when they ask for lap dances or other things.
[25-19:12] 228, *Clarissa Green: *other things? Well, now this was going to prove much better than she'd hoped. She'd really only been here to ask about the hospitalized dancer, but maybe Cross would take her more seriously if she could provide enough evidence to shut down a whore house as well*
[25-19:14] 595, *Katya Yudin : Oh that's a shame, Damali. A beautiful young woman like you could really clean house if you did something else than dance, even the lap dances...oh my...I know I'd be wiling to give a lot just to see you like that..*Winks playfully* But oh well...tell me about the pay? I imagine that with dancing alone you can bring in a fair amount in tips, right?
[25-19:19] 221, *Damali Aloula: Depends on how good you look and how well you can shake your money maker. A twenty minute dance on a side stage at night will usualy rake you in about thirty, fourty bucks. Lap dances are twenty. Visits to the VIP room start out at fifty and go up depending on what happens. At least thats what my sister tells me. *wink* The house gets a cut from everything, but more from the VIP stuff than from just tips from dancing.
[25-19:22] 595, *Katya Yudin : Ahhh..I see I see...hmm...well how do you think I'd do just based on what I look like? *Leans back on the bench and lets her jacker fall open more. She can probably see the faint outlines of her dragon tatto through the material of her shirt* Oh yeah..*Reminded by the sight of the tattoos
[25-19:23] 595, *Katya Yudin : *...They allow body decorations and the like?
[25-19:23] 595, *Katya Yudin : ((Accursed enter key...*shakes fist*))
[25-19:24] 228, *Clarissa Green: *inconspicuously rolls her eyes. Could they be any more obvious? But she bites her lip and turns the page to her magazine, thinking an appropriate time had passed so that it looks like she's actually reading it*
[25-19:25] 221, *Damali Aloula: I'd say I'm about ready to spend a dollar that's meant for a wash load for a tip. *smirks and pulls the opening of her cut off jean-shorts up to reveal a tatoo around her thigh* I should hope so.
[25-19:29] 595, *Katya Yudin: *Smiles and looks down at the tattoo* Good good because...well I don't think any amount of money could persuade me to get rid of the ones I've got...kinda got a story behind all of them except one that I had done just because...*Pauses a moment and grins* I think I could make that dollar worth spending...*Giggles with a wink and looks around, spotting Clarissa from earlier and trying to read the cover of the book she's reading*
[25-19:30] 228, *Clarissa Green: *it's some totally lame magazine about being a good parent... which is slightly ironic that it happened to be the one she picked up. Ironic enough to make her laugh if she'd even noticed*
[25-19:33] 221, *Damali Aloula: *pulls the cuff down so that she's not REALY exposing herself* Oh? What did you have in mind? *looks over at Katya*
[25-19:33] 221, *Damali Aloula: ((*makes that "looks over to Clarissa too"))
[25-19:36] 228, *Clarissa Green: *removes one hand from supporting the magazine and looks at her watch. She doesn't have time for this. She can bust whores later. For now, she tosses the magazine back on the pile and stand. By the time she's in front of the other two women, she has her badge and ID out and holds it up* Good evening, ladies. I'm Detective Green. I need to ask you some questions about this woman. *her other hand produces a photo of Kailynn... and older one taken from her driver's license*
[25-19:38] 595, *Katya Yudin: Mm...*Shrugs and looks and looks back to Damali, parenting not really being that interesting of a topic for her to ask to read the magazine* I don't know...was thinking of it as a joke, but...*Pauses, cut off by Detective Green now, hmm interesting. She looks at the badge and then picture, clearly not recognizing Kailynn* Sorry...never seen her in my life..
[25-19:39] 221, *Damali Aloula: ((BRB, need to dish myself out some dinner))

[25-19:50] 228, *Clarissa Green: *puts both her badge and the picture back into the inside pocket of her jacket. As she can't give away too much of the girl's medical condition away in front of unnecessary parties... she does what she can to get Damali interested enough* I'm not sure if you're aware that she's been hospitalized recently. We need some help figuring out exactly what happened *pulls a card from her pocket* I have a meeting to be at right now. If you could come by the station later, my name is on this *meeting with the parents of the dead girl in the park... which she is not looking forward to. Cross had better not bail out on this one*
[25-19:51] 221, *Damali Aloula: oh... okay. *takes the card, looking up at her worried*

[25-20:15] 221, *Damali Aloula: No... I'm fine. I just hope that Jihan doesn't find out. She's likely to go berserk if one of the other girls is hurt.
[25-20:17] 595, *Katya Yudin: Girls? You mean...she worked at the strip club? *Blinks a few times, all this time she had this wonderful place envisioned where nothing went wong except for the drunk that got rowdy...but now...hmm*

[25-20:31] 221, *Damali Aloula: I'll see what the officer has to say. Kaitlynn was one of the girls that would get in bed with some of the higher roller customers for a few grand, but she was always able to keep herself out of trouble.

[25-20:54] 221, *Damali Aloula: Uh... looks up from from the laundry, just as she's about to put the soap in* Me? Uh... okay. *slips into her mousey smile again, not used to being relied on*
[25-20:59] 595, *Katya Yudin: That is if you don't mind...I uh...don't know exactly how to approach the situation per say...you know? I'd feel a bit odd about going in there and asking for a job...and if I can get someone to do it for me, well then that makes it all that much easier...*Smiles to her again* I'd be much indebted to you...been practicing at my apartment now since it was even mentioned to me as a possibility and I'd like to see if my body looks as good dancing to someone else as it does when I see it in the mirror. And if not then..well Nikolai said he had some one that he could ask, but I'd like to ask you first, Damali.
[25-21:02] 221, *Damali Aloula: *a little bit of red shows under her dark cheeks* Uh... yeah. I could do that for you.

But if the chat master puts in time and effort like some of the mainstream chats that get popular, then they last and get more RPers. Lifespan depends on you and the char really))
[25-21:31] 221, *Damali Aloula: ((and char life realy just depends. Theres a lot more retired chars than dead chars in any chat room though))
[25-21:32] 595, *Katya Yudin: Oh...no...the most type of regualr dancing I've done is tryin to imitate what I see on some of the videos on uh...MTV..VH1...one of those two, but even then, that could be considered exotic for what some of the girls do in them.
[25-21:33] 287, lurker: the retired part I can really understand

[25-21:56] 221, *Damali Aloula: I was taught how to do the belly dance. Lots of hip shaking while the rest of your body moves slowly. Keeps the guys distracted enough to look sleek while you move about the floor.

[25-23:15] 595, *Katya Yudin: ((Nope, still just us two))
[25-23:17] 287, lurker: I can see that. I see you twoo have a deepening char relatinship*grin*

[25-23:18] 221, *Damali Aloula: *lets Katya kiss her a little deeper, but not much. THe kiss itself however lasts several moments, but finaly ends with Damali breaking away, likely all too soon for Katya's taste.
[25-23:18] 595, *Katya Yudin: ((Very good friends, yup. hehe))
[25-23:18] 221, *Damali Aloula: ((what can I say? I seem to get all the girls without even a pic))
[25-23:21] 595, *Katya Yudin: *Whimpers slightly in protest to the kiss being over, her movements frozen, eye closed. Still in shock from such a powerful moment. After a few minutes pass in silence she mouths "Wow...." and opens her eyes slowly, searching for Damali's eyes*
[25-23:21] 595, *Katya Yudin: ((Naw, it was mah pic that attracted you. *Nods* Hehe))
[25-23:22] 287, lurker: lovely, simply lovely
[25-23:26] 221, *Damali Aloula: *Damali's eyes have continued to change color, with the darkness becoming a very bright blue around the iris then expanding out to the deeper darker blue. There's a mix of emotions in Damali's eyes, relief, tenderness, friendlyness, mischeviousness, a look of wanting Katay and yet at the same time a look of being somehow just out of Katya's reach*
[25-23:30] 595, *Katya Yudin: *She smiles lightly and stays where she is, knowing that she wouldn't like it to go farther no matter how bad Katya wanted it too...a sense of loss at not being able to have her crosses Katya's face, but at the same time, fulfillement from expieriencing such a moment.* Damali...thank you...
[25-23:33] 221, *Damali Aloula: *winks* maybe again, later... I can find a place where you can view my dance without worrying about intruders.
[25-23:36] 287, lurker: well once again I'll ttyl I've got things to do
[25-23:36] 221, *Damali Aloula: ((later))

With her tattered Army backpack slung over her shoulder, she starts down the street. Her dreads that had reached down her back only a few weeks ago have been chopped off mere inches from her scalp and are now covered with a Yankees cap*

[26-00:30] fa5, *Clarissa Green: *comes out of said room with her notepad in hand. The girl was being quite discouraging. She just kept insisting that a tampon had done the damage, but the doctors insist that that was impossible with an injury of this magnitude. However, without a victim.... there was no crime and Kailynn Benson insisted that she was no victim*
[26-00:33] fa5, ºNico Blue : *stops in the middle of the street, not in front of his car however, and slowly turns her head. The lights from the car and the street make it impossible for her to tell who it is, but her eyes are still soft, even if her face has matured. In her mild way, she raises her voice no more than needed to be heard* The light was red anyway.
[26-00:34] 221, *Jihan Aloula: *looks up, unaware that her sister had been hastled before by the same woman*
[26-00:35] fa5, ºEnvy: Hi Harmonia *wave*

[26-00:37] 4b0, *Zarr: ** opens the door and steps out of the car bringing the keys with him.. he shuts the door.. he stays far enough away as to try not to scare her.** sorry ma'am. i didnt know you were a woman with all them clothes on
[26-00:37] fa5, *Clarissa Green: *most people look up when someone comes into a room or even in their area of sight. However, when Jihan gives her more than a passing glance she walks over to her* Were you waiting to see Kailynn Benson?

[26-00:39] fa5, ºNico Blue : *takes steps back anyways. Angry people getting out of cars are never a good sign and she didn't even have any mace on her.* Everyone in this city wears clothes. You'd better watch that road rage. *shifts her bag and continues across the street*

[26-00:43] fa5, *Clarissa Green: *isn't dressed like a nurse. She removes her badge and ID from her pocket and flashes them both to Jihan* I'm Detective Green. *sits down next to Jihan, figuring she'll seem less intimidating that way* Are you a friend of her?
[26-00:43] 221, *Jihan Aloula: ((what happened?))

[26-00:46] fa5, *Clarissa Green: Clarissa, please. *puts her little wallet thing back into her pocket* She didn't have any emergency contacts on her lisence. Is there anything that you can tell me about why she's here?
[26-00:47] 221, *Jihan Aloula: You didn't ask the doctors?
[26-00:47] fa5, ºNico Blue : *her steps slow a little bit and she turns, but still walking backwards* I haven't been there in years either *however, it was one of the places that she'd stayed the longest*
[26-00:48] fa5, *Clarissa Green: *nods* Yes, actually the doctors called me because what she said happened doesn't seem to fit the injury.
[26-00:49] fa5, *Clarissa Green: (has been spelling 'license' wrong all damned day)
[26-00:49] 221, *Jihan Aloula: She's sick. What more do you want out of her?
[26-00:51] fa5, *Clarissa Green: *was used to this kind of hostility, even more sometimes. She however, remains totally calm, her voice soothing* I'm just here to help her, but I can't unless she is honest. As her friend, I thought that maybe you would want the same thing.
[26-00:52] 4b0, *Zarr: well maybe we knew the same people.. you just seem like someone very dear to me who had decided to lose contact with me for her own reasons ** a man steps out of his car and walks toward Zarr saying "you gonna move that car or am i gonna move it for you white-boy?! " Zarr being an ex confederate soldier is quickly angered by this.. he turns to the man** go ahead! fuckin try! ** as the man runs toward Zarr, Zarr instantly snaps both of the mans shins** learn some humility! youre ancestors had it! (( please dont take offense.. i am not meaning to hurt anyone.. im just playing my char))
[26-00:53] 221, *Jihan Aloula: What more do you want than her being sick?
[26-00:55] fa5, ºNico Blue : *however, this kind of thing tends to scare onlookers, especially this one and she turns, taking off in a dead run... doing quite well despite her bag being quite a burden*
[26-00:58] fa5, *Clarissa Green: I want to know why she got so sick. *sighs taking a quick look around the room, then lowers her voice* She was ripped to shreds and you can imagine how painful that would be, but she didn't come to get help until she was almost dead. That isn't the normal actions of someone with TSS from an accidental tampon tear.
[26-00:59] 4b0, *Zarr: ** the man screams in pain as the others in the cars get out.. Zarr hears one say " im calling the cops" he pulls his glock and fires into the air.. he grabs the smart ass and drags him away as the others run in horror .. he drags the man under the wire streaming across the street which hold the lights... he cuts the mans stomach open ripping out his intestines and ties one end around the mans neck and throws the other end over the wire after cutting the red tubing... he pulls on it and the man is lifted.. he sticks the cut end of the intestines on a wooden phone poll and sticks a knife inside to hold the man... he wipes his hands off on the mans clothing and gets into his car driving in the direction that nico went**
[26-00:59] 221, *Jihan Aloula: What do you mean ripped to shreds? She wasn't like that when I took her here.
[26-00:59] fa5, *Clarissa Green: (everyone that hasn't been to the poll, take a look)
[26-01:02] fa5, ºNico Blue : *goes into the first open building, which happens to be a bar. She drops the bag and instantly looks around for signs of life*
[26-01:03] 4b0, *Zarr: ** sees her and enters the bar soon after with the intent to kill her**
[26-01:03] a39, *Harmonia : *she looks at Nico and smiles, standing behind the bar* Hey, What can I get ya?
[26-01:03] fa5, *Clarissa Green: I mean... it looks like she could have been raped. Does she have a boyfriend *Naturally the first question that always has to be asked*
[26-01:04] 221, *Jihan Aloula: I don't think so...
[26-01:05] fa5, ºNico Blue : *isn't panicked, but is certainly frighted and out of breath* You've got to call the cops... there's this guy out there with a gun. I think he shot somebody.
[26-01:06] 4b0, *Zarr: ** sees her enter and runs in shortly after her with the intent to find out who she is.. he can smell her. he sees her.he uses his speed and is infront of her. it doesnt matter if people see anymore... if he has to, he'll kill them all**
[26-01:07] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : *he’s just parking his car outside Kailynn’s, or at least the rental car. He’d gotten it for use during some surveillance, figuring out if he wants to take a job offered to him as soon as his shoulder has healed up a bit more. He’d finished what he had planned today, mostly pictures, all of his equipment was in the back seat in a slightly messy pile now. He gets out of the car and looks up at the building. He was a bit worried about Kailynn after the other night, and since he had the car and was close by, it seemed reasonable to come by and check on her. Actually, it felt more like he should, considering she didn’t look very good last he saw her and he wanted to be sure she was alright. He gets out of the car and walks to the door and looks over the panel next to it, finding the right button for Kailynn’s apartment and pushing it*
[26-01:07] a39, *Harmonia : *she looks at Nico and motions for her to sit down. She gets on the phone and looks at Nico* Tell me what happened so I can tell them
[26-01:08] 4b0, *Zarr: ** is soon inside and behind her .. he taps on her shoulder. **
[26-01:10] a39, *Harmonia : *she'll see Zarr and look at him, looking at Nico with a concerned look on her face. She hangs up the phone in the middle of talking to the police and looks at Zarr* May I help you sir?
[26-01:10] fa5, *Clarissa Green: *just nods, obviously not getting much more from this woman tonight. She pulls a card from the pocket of her jacket and hands it to her* If you find out anything at all, please call me. She's not in any trouble, I just want to help her.
[26-01:11] 221, *Jihan Aloula: *takes the card and looks at her warily before nodding*
[26-01:12] fa5, ºMarley Watkins : *but the voice that comes over the 'com isn't Kailynn's* Yeah?
[26-01:13] 4b0, *Zarr: ** looks at Harmonia** actually, ill take a budwieser** he is now standing next to nico.. though she would recognize hm as the man from the street, she should deffinately recognize him as Zarr Darkhaven now**
[26-01:14] a39, *Harmonia : *she nods and grabs a bottle of budwieser and hands it to him* There ya go
[26-01:15] 4b0, *Zarr: ** the coat, the hair though the mohawk is considerably shorter and spiked now.. but the scar on the left side of his face..the temper, the car.. its me** whats the dammage?
[26-01:15] 4b0, *Zarr: (( not to mention the southern accent))
[26-01:15] 221, *Jihan Aloula: *waits a while longer and is finaly taken by a nurse to see Kailynn. She knocks on her door twice*
[26-01:15] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : *really doesn’t like the fact that the voice that answers if unfamiliar, but for all he knows she’s having company over, but he wasn't pretty sure company didn't anwser the buzzer normally, which makes him worry about how sick she is* Uh…Hi…I’m here to see Kailynn...is she alright?
[26-01:17] 4b0, *Zarr: (( hey whichever one of you is the detective, youre going to have a good time following the trail of bodies im going to leave you))
[26-01:17] fa5, ºNico Blue : *her eyes widen at first as she does recognize him as the man on the street, then even more as she recognizes him as Zarr. Of course, he hasn't changed at all where her skin is very tan, her hair dredded and poking out from under the hat. But her face has matured as well, her cheeks aren't as childishly chubby and her eyes, still the same soft blue, seem older* Zarr? You're in LA
[26-01:19] a39, *Harmonia : *looks at Nico and perks a brow. She sighs and shakes her head lightly*
[26-01:20] fa5, ºMarley Watkins : ((she's not a homicide detective)) *the buzzer buzzes. Anyone else, probably wouldn't have let him in as it could be some crazy that followed her around. But Marley isn't anyone else and she figures if someone tracked Kailynn this far, there was nothing that she could do about it*
[26-01:20] MSG: Harmonia sent a message to Envy.
[26-01:20] 4b0, *Zarr: ** looks at Nico in those big blue eyes** HOLY SHIT !! ** is soo excited he drops his beer and throws his arms around Nico.. then remembers why hes here** what are you doin here?
[26-01:23] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : *calls quietly from the inside* Come in *shes tucked into bed, actually needing the blankets because hospitals are kept so cold. She's still very pale, but a more chalky color than her usual light palor. She's got an IV in each arm, and one on the back of her hand*
[26-01:24] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : *is frustrated not to get an answer to his question as the door opens, but he walks in and upstairs to the apartment door, knocking on it impatiently as he gets there, folding his arms as he waits for whoever the hell is inside to answer it.*
[26-01:24] MSG: Envy sent a message to Harmonia.
[26-01:24] 221, *Jihan Aloula : *Jihan opens the door and moves to take a seet beside her* Mary Anne... you poor girl.
[26-01:25] MSG: Harmonia sent a message to Envy.
[26-01:26] fa5, ºNico Blue : *is completely stiff in his arms... how could she tell him that she came to this city because she'd hoped his son wasn't in it? She still can't even wrap her head around the idea that he's there* I have a friend here that's due for a visit.
[26-01:27] a39, *Harmonia : *she just shrugs and starts to clean the glasses. she watches the two with a careful eye, she really needs to feed and it can be seen if one were too look closely*
[26-01:27] fa5, ºMarley Watkins : *a hostile looking brunette opens the door in her famous leathers, though... not quite as racy as at the club. She doesn't recognize this guy from the club, so at least she's sure he's not a regular.... so he can't be all that bad* What are you thinking pounding like that? *shoves past him and closes the door with a suitcase in her hand* She's not here.
[26-01:30] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : I was thinking I wanted to know the hell is going on. Where is she? Last I saw her she should have been at home resting, not going out *is pretty much openly glaring at her, he didn’t care who she was, he really didn’t like her despite only knowing her for all of about 10 seconds*
[26-01:30] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : I'm fine, thanks to you... I'd actually feel better than I do, but antibiotics make me a little sick *her voice is quiet and tired, but even if she still looks unwell, she does look much better than she did*
[26-01:30] 4b0, *Zarr: ** lets go** i see. well.. im here on not so happy terms
[26-01:31] 4b0, *Zarr: can we go sit somewhere and talk?
[26-01:33] 221, *Jihan Aloula : *sighs and places her warm warm hands on Kailynn's forehead* I was about ready to smash some heads when they told me I couldn't see you.
[26-01:35] fa5, ºMarley Watkins : She's not out. She's at Mercy General *figures he'll recognize the name. Most people know the names of the hospitals and jails. She starts down the stairs, then stops and turns around* You're obviously someone who cares?
[26-01:36] fa5, ºNico Blue : um... I'd actually rather sit up here if you don't mind. *old friend or not... he just killed someone and it's not making her comfortable. She looks at Harmonia* Could I have a glass of water, please?
[26-01:37] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : *the glare falls off his face as he recognize the name of the hospital instantly, and he’s already moving past her and down the stairs as she asking her question* I care enough *keeps walking, not stopping to look back*
[26-01:37] 4b0, *Zarr: ** sits and looks at Harmonia** and another budweiser for me.
[26-01:38] a39, *Harmonia : *she nods and gets her a glass of water, handing it to her* There ya go. Anything else you need let me know
[26-01:38] 4b0, *Zarr: ** looks at nico** have you seen or heard from Gabriel or his mother? ** looks genuinely concerned**
[26-01:38] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : *smiles slightly* You hardly know me. *her fever is broken, true to her word, most of what is making her feel bad is the drugs pumping into her to make her feel better*
[26-01:40] a39, *Harmonia : *she nods and grabs another budweiser for Zarr* There ya go
[26-01:40] fa5, ºMarley Watkins : *sets the suitcase on the stairway and nudges it down with her toe* Take this shit to her then. *it's quite clear she'd only come on a favor or order and didn't think much of Kailynn personally. The suitcase tumbles down the stairs, breaking open on the last few and comfortable looking clothes tumble out.*
[26-01:41] fa5, ºNico Blue : *sips the water, soothing her parched throat* No. I haven't been in this country for a few years.
[26-01:42] 221, *Jihan Aloula : So? You're one of the girls I work with. That makes you almost family. Besides, I didn't get a chance to properly bitch for sending me to that phycho senator of yours.
[26-01:42] 4b0, *Zarr: the whole Le'beau family seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. and im afraid that the christians did to them what they did to my first wife..** stops and looks at harmonia** thank you .. are you all right?... i know that look if you need something, let me know ** turns his attention back on Nico**
[26-01:44] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : And apparently you don’t care enough *muttered more than anything as he turns back around to the bottom of the stairs and puts everything back into the suitcase before closing it, and then continues to the door and outside to the car*
[26-01:44] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : What? *appears genuinly confused* What are you talking about?
[26-01:44] a39, *Harmonia : *she looks at Zarr and nods. She wonders how he picked up on that she needs to feed and decides to ask. She uses her telepathy and speaks into his mind* ~How do you know what I am?~
[26-01:45] fa5, ºMarley Watkins : *smiles at a saved trip to the hospital and heads home to watch some t.v.*
[26-01:46] fa5, ºNico Blue : *shrugs lightly, her thin shoulders hardly moving the layered fabric at all* I haven't thought about it in a long time.
[26-01:46] 4b0, *Zarr: ~if you can speak to me in my mind.. im sure you can read my thoughts... i am too and i know what it is to be hungry~
[26-01:46] JOIN: Richard Gatts has entered.
[26-01:47] 4b0, *Zarr: you act as though you dont care, Nico.
[26-01:48] 4b0, *Zarr: (( wow i really fucked up on that post to harmonia.... "~ i am what you are aswell and i know what it is to be hungry~"))
[26-01:48] fa5, ºNico Blue : Of course I do... I just *blinks a few times* honestly hadn't thought about it.
[26-01:48] a39, *Harmonia : *she smirks slightly and laughs a little in his mind* ~I prefer not to read others thoughts. And I do need to feed yet. I have not fed for 2 days~
[26-01:51] 4b0, *Zarr: ~ well you look hungry to me... besides.. i cant go 16 hours without feeding~
[26-01:52] a39, *Harmonia : ~16 hours? You must be younger~
[26-01:53] 4b0, *Zarr: ** while still looking at nico, puts his hand in his coat and grabs a flask sliding it slowly to the bar tender** ~ this will hold you over~
[26-01:53] 4b0, *Zarr: ~i was embraced in 1865~
[26-01:53] 221, *Jihan Aloula : The John you set me up with the night you left.
[26-01:54] 4b0, *Zarr: ** to nico** well i dont know... im desperate to atleast find my son.
[26-01:54] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : *puts the suitcase in the passenger side then walks around to get into the drivers seat, taking off seconds after staring the car, not really caring about the fact that he was speeding, which he pretty much continues all the way to the hospital. He should have made sure she was really alright before he left that night, if she was in the hospital now it meant it was bad. He should have known enough to realize that. He gets to the hospital and pulls into the first available spot he comes across, parking a bit crookedly. He gets out of the car, taking the suitcase with him and walks into the hospital, going straight to the help desk. After a pretty long conversation that had degraded into threats, he finally gets the number of the room that Kailynn is in, though he’s sure it’s more out of annoyance for the fact that he didn’t seem like he was going to leave, and that he was insisting he had her things, and finally the fact that he didn’t even know her last name was just dropped. He knows he’s probably lucky security wasn’t called, but he pushes that thought aside as he walks to the room, stopping outside for a moment to calm himself down. She was in the hospital; he didn’t need to go into the room looking as pissed off and guilty as he felt. He finally knocks on the door, and waits for an invite, not wanting to bother her if she was sleeping or something*
[26-01:54] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : ((I think that is my longest post ever or close to it))
[26-01:55] a39, *Harmonia : *she takes the flask and nods* ~Older then I expected. Thank you~
[26-01:55] 4b0, *Zarr: ~ dont mention it... how old are you?~
[26-01:56] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : (and it's a beauty!)
[26-01:56] 4b0, *Zarr: what happened with you two anyway? last i heard, Gabe and you were together
[26-01:57] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : I'm sorry... I really don't rememb... *trails off at the knock on the door, then she looks back to Jihan* Would you mind?
[26-01:57] a39, *Harmonia : *she smiles and sets the glass down that she had been cleaning* ~Not very old, about 100~
[26-01:58] 221, *Jihan Aloula : *looks between teh two* Want me to leave?
[26-01:58] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : (meant answering the door)
[26-01:59] 4b0, *Zarr: ~ wow a young'n .. well the name's Zarr Darkhaven~
[26-01:59] fa5, ºNico Blue : *decides not to go into the whole messy business. It seems like so long ago... * I guess we just wanted different things.
[26-02:00] 4b0, *Zarr: (( she might recognize the name.. but he is kinda infamous well say with other vampires across the world because of his constituants and affiliates))
[26-02:00] 221, *Jihan Aloula : *gets up and opens the door for Dunstan*
[26-02:01] 4b0, *Zarr: well if its one thing ive learned is that when a woman says " we just wanted different things" , it usually means none of your buisness so i understand
[26-02:02] 4b0, *Zarr: (( also his " prophacy might ring a bell but enough of this))
[26-02:02] a39, *Harmonia : *she nods, slightly recognizing the name* ~Yes I'm a young'n. It is nice to meet you Zarr, I am Harmonia~
[26-02:03] 4b0, *Zarr: ~ a pleasure~
[26-02:04] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : *doesn’t recognize Jihan as he steps inside, but his gaze goes straight to Kailynn in the hospital bed* Hey…I went by your place…I ran into a rather rude woman who gave me a suitcase of your stuff…*doesn’t really know what else to say, as suddenly all the questions about how she was feeling and what happened seem inappropriate while she’s still sick. And for all he knew it was things she didn’t want to talk about, the nurse sure didn’t seem willing to tell him anything other than she was in her room on antibiotics*
[26-02:05] 4b0, *Zarr: (( brb))
[26-02:05] fa5, ºNico Blue : *nods again, finishing off her water. She hadn't missed the flask passing and since she knows what Zarr keeps in his flask, that would only mean that Harmonia is a vampire as well. How could she have missed it? Not like it really mattered* Look, it's good to see you again, but I should get going before my friend sends out the FBI
[26-02:07] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : *laughs quietly... knowing exactly who Cecile must have sent over* Thanks *well, at least she doesn't ask how he found her, but that still leaves the one of why he's here* They're releasing me tomorrow and I didn't have anything to wear home.
[26-02:07] a39, *Harmonia : ((*inserts NPC Harmonia* About to pass out people. Night!! I'll be on tomorrow *hugs for anyone that wants them*))
[26-02:08] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : (night Harmonia)
[26-02:08] 221, *Jihan Aloula : *watches the new guy... and RAE's to Kailynn*
[26-02:10] 4b0, *Zarr: (( nnight harm))
[26-02:10] 4b0, *Zarr: well , Nico i wouldnt imagine you'll take a ride home?
[26-02:11] fa5, ºNico Blue : *as if it's any less dangerous than walking* Are you sober?
[26-02:13] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : Well, now you do *sets down the suitcase, smiling as best he can at the moment, still feeling really guilty* At least it’s not going to be a long stay. Hospitals…well I don’t have a high opinion of them as you already know.
[26-02:13] 4b0, *Zarr: yeah, unfortunately, i dont stay drunk long
[26-02:16] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : I really don't either *it had taken her quite a bit to finally admit to Jihan that she needed to come. After catching Jihan's look, she remembers that introductions were in order* Dunstan, this is Jihan.
[26-02:16] 4b0, *Zarr: ** stands and pays the "bill with a 20 dollar tip and takes the flask back from harmonia**
[26-02:17] fa5, ºNico Blue : *walks over and picks up her bag, as she never sat down in the first place* It's not that far, but I don't want to put you out of your way.
[26-02:18] 4b0, *Zarr: trust me, you dont have to worry about that...** begins to walk outside but waits for her at the door opening it for her**
[26-02:19] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : *turns to look at Jihan and extends his hand to her, assuming she must have been the one to bring Kailynn in and one of her friends* Hi
[26-02:20] fa5, ºNico Blue : *walks outside, and gets into his car* Thanks. Catching a cab can be tricky this late in this part of town*
[26-02:21] 221, *Jihan Aloula : *shakes his hand* Assumes he must be the boyfriend of Kailynn... or something similar*
[26-02:21] 221, *Jihan Aloula : Hello.
[26-02:21] 4b0, *Zarr: no problem ** walks her to the Trans Am and opens that door for her too**
[26-02:23] fa5, ºNico Blue : *directs him to the apartment that is actually hers that the said friend is looking after in her absense*
[26-02:25] 4b0, *Zarr: alright Nico good night . ** watches her walk in and leaves**
[26-02:26] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : *looks between the both of them, not quite sure what to do. She feels like she should be a good hostess... entertaining or something, but she just isn't up to that so she says nothing*
[26-02:27] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : *puts his hands into his pockets now as he looks very uncomfortable, he doesn’t know what he should say or do now, he’d been to busy getting here to think about what would happen once he actually was here, then he glances back at Kailynn* You probably need to rest…I should go.
[26-02:28] 221, *Jihan Aloula : *watches him... thinking she might have a few things to say to Kailynn. Gives him a look that woud make him feel even more awkward*
[26-02:30] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : I've been resting... you don't have to go. *gives Jihan an obvious look, wondering what's gotten into her all of a sudden*
[26-02:34] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : *really doesn’t know what to do with the look from Jihan, and Kailynn telling him he can stay. He not quite sure what to think about what is going on, or if he should just leave anyway, though he already knows he’s not going to just walk out now*
[26-02:36] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : You said you went to my place? Is everything alright? *figures best way to eeal with the situation is change the subject*
[26-02:37] 221, *Jihan Aloula : *gives up on the look, could talk to her lateR*
[26-02:39] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : (I'm leaving in 20 minutes, guys. I'm so tired you wouldn't even believe it)
[26-02:39] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : Yeah, I stopped by and talked to that woman and she told me you were here… everything is fine *still stands uncomfortably with his hands in his pockets*
[26-02:42] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : I'll have to start keeping more food in the house *her dry lips curve into a little smile, quite enjoying the idea of company. She hasn't had just friendly company in a few years*
[26-02:43] 221, *Jihan Aloula : There was a cop in the loby asking questions. She thought that you weren't just sick
[26-02:46] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : *her eyes quickly shoot over to Jihan, carrying with them not so much a warning, but a plea not to say anymore* Cops always stick their noses into things. They don't like to do any real work.
[26-02:46] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : *his head turns quickly at hearing that a cop was involved before he can respond to Kailynn’s comment. That didn’t sound good, and he also made him wonder what the cop thought had happened. He’d thought that Kailynn was just sick, she didn’t look like someone had gone after her or anything. He doesn’t say anything yet though, and just glances back at Kailynn*
[26-02:48] 221, *Jihan Aloula : *damn, knew should have waited till the guy was out of the room* Yeah. Probably nothing.
[26-02:49] fa5, *Kailynn Benson : I just have an infection. It's not that big of a deal... *and that's not entirely true. If she'd stayed passed out on her couch only a few more hours, she'd probably have been dead by morning. Yet she downgraded it effortlessly since she'd told herself so many times it was nothing. Fucking hospitals calling the cops all the time. No wonder most people would rather die on the street then come to one*
[26-02:53] 3aa, *Dunstan Ryder : Well…I actually have to go, I have a few things to take care of….but I can come by your apartment after you get home tomorrow to check on how you’re doing…if you want me to *glance once at Jihan while he talks to Kailynn, trying to figure out what was up with her, but he couldn’t seem to gather anything helpful from what she had said or her expression, it just confused him*
