A Night Out Gone Bad

[Nicholas West]

( Kira, Allyson, Samantha, Rowan, Nicholas, Addison, The Little Miss )

Allyson

- Ally had spent a whole twenty minutes in her Suite before she was out and about once more. Google maps had come through once more and she was en route to nightclub that just stood out above the rest of them. The Trinity Nightclub was her destination and after driving around looking for the place, the sign shown bright and the little line gave direction to her. Parking her car, she tucked the keys away in her pocket and set out to have a good night. She was still dressed in the same college-student look that she'd arrived in. Light blue tank top with those faded blue jeans and her old Nike running shoes, she felt the tinniest bit under-dressed.. but then again she really didn't care about that at the moment. Her ID in hand, she gave it to the bouncer at the front door before being allowed in. ID was swapped with her credit card as she slowly made her way towards the bar, looking forward to having a few drinks and the possibility of meeting a few people along the way. Slender form slipped upon one of those stools as she glanced around at the assortment of liquor behind the counter. With he amount of activity given, she was able to make a solid selection before the tender arrived to her. "Could I have a Crown 'n Coke please?" She handed him her credit card, certainly opening a tab as he set about making her drink- (D)

Kira

She had been inside of the club for a while, acquainting herself with the surroundings while it was less crowded. You never knew when you needed to know where the exits were in quick order or where you could jump behind not to be seen if something big and scary was wondering through. Really there were few things in the world that were big and scary to her anymore but there was always the unknown. She existed in the world, why couldn't worse things? She was on her second "red headed slut" shot and what appeared to be a sex on the beach, but really, all those fruity drinks started to look alike after a while. Then a woman slipped up into the seat next to her and ordered a crown 'n coke and she turned to look at the woman with a slight frown. One breath in told her she was human but that didn't mean she couldn't talk to her, they were the most fun sometimes. "I have a friend who likes crown, awful stuff in my opinion, but then again he takes it straight so....eh I'm never going to be able to drink that stuff again." (d)

Allyson

- The tender was soon there with her drink, placing the chilled glass in front of her with a nod before he was off to serve others. before she got the chance to take a drink of the concoction, her attention was diverted to the woman besides her. A smile came to her lips at her comment. "It usually takes a few with coke before I can man up and drink it straight.. though if that happens them I'm pretty much good to drink anything else without really caring for the taste of it." It was usually the point where all alcohol tasted the same, no matter what it was. Green's glanced over to the drink the woman had in front of her and she couldn't help but arch a brow "I can't really stand fruiting up drinks myself.. but to each their own right?" she smiled, lifting her glass to the woman in a 'cheers' salute.- (D)


Kira

"Exactly! To each their own. I hate trying to convert to different people's ways, takes the fun out of things but standards definitely must be made to follow." She couldn't throw out all of the rules, she worked in the business world. "Although to tell you the truth, I think I've found my favorite bar tender here because he's heavy handed on the alcohol and light on the fruit. I have a horrible time trying to keep a buzz. High metabolism for it I suppose. One of my...well I don't really have friends but someone I knew at a bar I used to frequent in California told me once that certain people are just genetically like that. Maybe that's me." (d)

Allyson

"They're the best kind of drinks!" taking a sip of her own, she realized what the woman meant. The warmth of the Whiskey went down easily with the coke, a soft purr given in response to the effect. "Well, people will remain the way they are. Can't change them no matter what you do it seems." Not like she was out trying to change heart's and minds, but there were people whom pushed things upon others, depending on the situation it could be good or bad. "Well, I just came into Seattle and I'm looking for some friends. Care if I buy you some drinks?" Buying drinks usually seemed to be the key in getting a little party together, and hopefully a chance to get to know someone and make a friend. "Though I apologize first off," she set her drink back on the bar, extending a hand to her "I'm Allyson Bennet, though most people call me Ally" (D)

Kira

Changing people's minds and hearts was her specialty but she definitely wasn't upfront about it. She laughed lightly at the question of buying her drinks and nodded. "Sure thing. I'm up for hanging out with you tonight Ally. My name
is Kira D'Valois. Nice to meet you Ally," It wasn't that she wasn't social that she didn't have friends, she just didn't have a use for them. Human friends? Now that would definitely be a new one, they were the ones to be corrupted
and tainted, being friends with them never really ended well. "Well Ally. what is it that you do that has you moving to Seattle?" (d)

Allyson

- At least, she had someone she could drink with and enjoy the evening. At most, she could have someone to have future evenings of fun with. Seemed like a win-win to Ally right then. "It's nice to meet you Kira," she smiled. Her glass was lifted back to her lips as she took a slow, but long drink of that amber liquid, soon replacing it back on the bar top. "I'm here for a few weeks actually, not really moving. College is out for a break and I needed to get away from home... though coming here from Oregon isn't really that far, it's enough for me." Who knows though, maybe she might become a resident of Washington. "I don't want to assume, but I'm guessing you being here is a more permanent situation than mine is?" (D)

Kira

"Yup. I just moved here last month. I was offered a position in a business consulting firm and took it. Instead of taking that first few days to stretch my legs and get situated I jumped right in and opted for an early two week vacation. This is technically my two week vacation for that. You should move here, from what I've seen, it's great but if you're still in college, that might prove difficult." It was great? Well she thought it was, she was a little more resilient than humans were. Well maybe a lot more resilient but she couldn't see much problem with playing with abnormal humans and vampires. The worst that could happen? Well horrible things could happen hanging around her tooso she couldn't judge. If Ally was smart, maybe she'd get by. "What is it your studying? Or really what is it you'd like to become or do for your life's occupation? (d)

Allyson

- Eyes seemed to light up when she mentioned Business consulting, though she was able to remain quiet until Kira was finished speaking. "This might seem a little odd, but I'm going to College for Business Management," seemed like they were getting off to a good start. "My father does loads of consulting for companies around the world. I love to travel and I seem to have a knack for knowing my way around the business place, so I thought going into the same line of work my father does would fit me perfectly. Not to mention the lovely pay that seems to come with most of the jobs." Kudos' to her father because without him, she'd probably be stuck at home going to community college instead of the four year university and the trip she was on right at that moment. "Who knows, maybe I'll decide to come up here to live, though I might wanna give it a little more than a few hours before I make that decision" (D)

Kira

Well didn't just everyone she meet have money. Not that she had any problem with that, she came from money herself it was just strange that these were the people she was meeting. Well not too strange when you took into account that thus far 50% of them weren't human. "Business Management. Wonderful stuff. I like the fact that I can do it by phone and at night. I'm a night person myself, me and that horrible daystar aren't friends at all. UV tinted windows in my penthouse because of it. Which is the other great thing about that job....money. I love money." She laughed at that, taking another few sips of her drink. Was she tipsy, nope, she just realized at that moment how shallow that comment might have sounded. "Maybe you'll be able to get the same sort of offer I had to come work for this business. What are your normal hours. I mean not that I get many chances to talk to clients of the vampire sort but I've met two thus far and I know most of the people in my firm don't do night hours." (d)

Allyson

"I agree with that" she laughed. Money seemed to be bountiful in the Business industry, which was where she was heading to. Something she liked to do, plus getting the large pay seemed to be the best thing she could do with her life thus far! Brow arched when Kira mentioned the vampires, a race which she didn't really mind though didn't do too much business with.. but she pushed the bit aside as she answered. "Well, firstly, I can only hope to get some job offers once I get out of school. If not then.. I dunno what I'll be doing.," She didn't want to go work at McDonald's with a Bachelors Degree. "But I can usually work whenever. I like the night life, usually means it's quiet and I can get work done in peace. Or I can do it during the way when most people seem to be up and about. Face to face meetings and presentations. I guess I can do both sides of the coin" She raised her glass up, finishing off what was left of the Crown 'N Coke. Eyes were a little glossed over and her cheeks had a bit of red to them, but she still seemed as sober as she had when she'd walked in. "Here we are talking about work when we're supposed to be enjoying time off!" Laugh as she waved the bartender over "Would you like another drink?" she asked Kira- (D)


Kira

She nodded through most of it and shrugged. "I got into my position thanks to connections but I'll drop a word in with my company to keep eyes out for applicants. Nexus Consulting, you should put out feelers there, they're surprisingly nice." She looked up at the bartender and nodded, ordering another sex on the beach. "Work work. Yeah, it's all I ever talk about sometimes, you have to kick me out of it. I haven't really explored too much around here though so I can't tell you about many things except a nice view at my apartment, which is where I really spent the first month of my time here. See what I mean about getting stuck on things. I just zoned in on work I guess. Maybe I can zone back in on having some fun out of the apartment." (d)

Allyson

"A refill please" she told the tender before looking back to Kira "My father's done a few things for the Nexus in the past. Some collaboration work with some of their consultants, nothing too big. They seem like a great company to work for" She said they should stop talking about work yet there she went. She laughed a little as she took a drink of her fresh Crown 'n Coke "Well, I have all night and a bit of money. Seems like the town really doesn't shut down at night so.. I'm up for doing whatever comes to mind." Darker things didn't seem to phase Allyson. Some might have her pegged for the naive, sheltered school girl and sometimes she pulled it off, but she had seen her fair share of things and wasn't afraid to dabble in the darker things of life- (D)

Kira

"Well...we could spend some time here trying to pick up guys and get our brains liquefied on booze, which I have no problem with myself. And then maybe do some bar crawling around since I plan on taking cabs all about for a while...
or....we can I donno." She took another long sip of her former drink to take in the rest before starting on her second one. It was probably a good thing that Ally wasn't squeamish about darker things because if she continued to hang
about Kira, it was probably all that she was going to get to see. Not many things I'm aware of to do.....Oh, we could find a strip club." She laughed lightly at that comment and watched for Ally's reaction. (d)

Allyson

" I actually made the mistake of bringing my car with me," she sighed with a little bit of a smile. "Guess that was sort of stupid on my part, but nothing a taxi ride in the morning can't fix huh?" She took another drink, placing
the glass down as she listened to Kira's suggestions, the last one in particular being a bit more interesting then the previous. "Know of any good strip clubs then?" she smiled devilishly "Or do they have those themed
clubs like Sports, French Maids, Bondage, ect ect..?" (D)

Kira

She shrugged slightly and made a small noise as if that she had brought her car didn't really matter much in the grand scheme. "Hmm nope, I'm not really familiar with any strip clubs but...I was thinking more men, I'm not sure how
men would look in French Maid costumes but maybe we could find them hm?" She pushed her fingers into her pocket then, grabbing out her red phone and tapping on the screen. "Could always ask the all mighty and powerful google where some things are." (d)

Allyson

- She let loose a loud laugh, hand coming up to cover her mouth quickly to silence herself. "I'm sorry," she smiled "It's just the few clubs I've been to have been women. Gotta love being pulled into one at two in the morning by
your friends" Good times! Hand reached for her glass, lifting it to her lips to take a long drink, nearly finishing it off in that one go. "Google is the best! It's how I found this nightclub. Always knows where the best places are.. well.. at least most of the time" (D)

Kira

She laughed at that comment and watched her drink. Yup, someone was starting to get into the swing of things. "I've never had that experience actually. Can't say I was really top on the list of people to drag out to strip clubs but
I suppose it takes a special someone. Not that I'm the sheltered type." She started messing around with her phone a bit and giggled lightly. "I suppose I should preface the search with "male" hm?" (d)

Allyson

" I'm not the sheltered type either. A lot of people peg me for the go to school, sit at home and study and do nothing else type of person. I like to have fun, get out and do things that some people might thing morally
wrong" Because honestly you weren't living life if you didn't give things a try at least once right? "Well, adding male in there might help a little bit. Maybe." Course either male or female, it seemed like a good time in the making, and she wasn't going to pass it up for anything!- (D)

Samantha

-Samantha Montgomery was the sheltered type, and mainly because she was a pure bred were-tiger from Vancouver, British Columbia. But she was free of her clan, away from home for the first time and experiencing new things. This was the second time that she had made the trip to Trinity nightclub, after vowing that she wouldn't dare step through its doors again. The young lady was beautiful, inside and out. Dark brown hair, fell in soft curls to her shoulders and honey hazel depths looked around the long line to check and make sure that she was not in the presence of the Master of the City, or that little bastard that followed her around that was so icky to her the other night. Sam should have known better than to trust a strange man, but Nick was attractive and charming, and she believed he would dance with her. Until they got up to Trinity's second level and he started hugging on the vampiress named Addison. She was turned off by it all, and opted for the door. Tonight the line to get inside went quickly. She flashed her passport photo, and paid the cover charge and she was in. But barely. Not quite 21 yet, she had to drink with a fake ID, call her random. But it worked every time. Tonight, she was dressed in a glittery baby doll top, and slacks that were black, with her leather heels. She wore platinum bangles, a bit pricey but she couldn't tolerate silver. Heading towards the bar, she gave her hair a toss back, and ordered herself a Margarita. ID and money on the bar.-

Kira

"Yup. Okay so our selections are...Centerfolds and Seattle Gentlemen. But...really I think that we should be staying here for a tad bit longer. Who knows, maybe my neighbors might stop by." She laughed lightly and slid in her seat
at the bar long just in time to see Samantha, a girl she immediately recognized as the "other" she'd seen just two nights prior. Oh this was going to be interesting. She moved up to the bar and ordered herself a drink and Kira spun in her seat to face her. "Hello there. My name's Kira, I saw you the other night in here and wanted to introduce myself but didn't get the chance. You look like you could use a girls night out and Ally and I here are looking for friends, want to join us? I'll even offer to pay for your drinks." Returning the favor that Ally had offered her? Yeah it seemed in the spirit of tonight's fun. (d)

Allyson

" Well, both sound very enticing, but I'll have to agree with you. I think I need a little more to drink before I head out. Not too many bartenders like this guy, as you said" Gotta love the heavy-handed tender. The more she drank the more she liked the man that made them. She was busy finishing off her second Crown 'n Coke which.. really should have just been called a tall whiskey, before greens' turned to watch Kira as she introduced herself to someone whom she had met before. Greens locked onto the woman she was talking to, offering a broad smile to her. "We would love to have s'more company if you'd like to join us!" being friendly as ever, and why not? The more the merrier she always said!- (D)

Samantha

-Samantha's head quirked to the side oddly. The heat signature on the woman was strange. Hotter than a lycan, or a human besides. To tell you the truth, she didn't know what Kira was, but Sam kept herself shielded. When she introduced herself, Samantha smiled in return, and stuck out her hand, Canadian style. "Pleasure to meet you Kira. Name's Samantha Montgomery. " As the other woman was also introduced she smiled and waved to Ally. "Um friends, sure. I'd love to join you!" Samantha had to admit, aside from pursuing her studies at Seattle University for her Master's in History, her life as a tiger and being new in the city, she was a bit lonely. She had met another of her kind, Dr. Costello, and he was a wonderful man. Although she didn't know why a vampire had given him a ring, she did know that said vampire could call tigers but for what purpose she was still unaware. The brunette collected her change, ID, and Margarita, and shifted off the barstool in order to join Kira and Ally where they had been sitting before she arrived at Trinity. A good band was playing live, and it sounded like of grungy like Pearl Jam. "Thank you Kira, for the invite. I am new here to Seattle myself." she said with a twang.-

Kira

She was happy for the sudden chipping in of her fellow do-badder, Ally, and grinned, as if this sealed the deal. When she introduced herself she thought for a moment that maybe she should have followed up with last names but that could be for later. Her grin broadened even more when she agreed to join them and she took another long drink of her sex on the beach. "Wonderful! Ha all of us new to the city, this should be interesting." She'd picked up on the uniqueness about Samantha the other night, and although she wasn't getting any new information about her right now, she was starting to become familiar with some very interesting people. "Woo, I'm starting girls night out, I do feel productive tonight." Kira, wasn't really hiding much at all. If someone picked up on a strange feeling, she didn't care, if someone picked up on the strange mix of ozone and honey on her, she didn't mind that either. She almost encouraged prodding and questioning about her. Too bad Ally wouldn't be able to pick up on that. "So I'm a little new to girls night out really so what is it that people normally do on girls night out?" (d)

Allyson

" A pleasure to meet you Samantha!" She smiled. The night was slowly growing into something that would surely be locked into her mind as a night to remember. Whether things were going to end on a good note or bad was yet to be Gathered Saints: experienced but she hoped it would end on a good one. Allyson couldn't help but break out in another fit of laugher at Kira's question "You get together people for a girls night out and don't know what to do?" She didn't mean it to be an insult or anything, t'was just the whiskey getting to her. "Well, we have the whole city to explore. Let's do whatever we want to do!" Certainly there was loads of stuff they could do, even at the late evening hour that it was "We had strip clubs on out minds. Maybe hit one of those or sit here getting drunk or whatever. The sky is the limit!" fingertips laced around her glass as she took another drink, unsure how or when it was refilled, but there it was- (D)

Samantha

-Samantha had the feeling that she was a fish out of water as far as knowing what a girls night out was. She didn't do it often enough so she expected the pair to know what to do. Ally was definitely human from the looks of her aura and the energy signature she produced. Also she was a bit buzzed. Samantha sipped her Margarita, and her hazel eyes looked somewhat amused. "I guess you drink a little, and dance a little, and get laid a lot!" she giggled. The innocent was not as innocent as previously thought. A guy behind them overheard her and said "Hell yeah!" and Samantha blushed hotly. "O-M-G!" she whispered. "Did he like just said what I thought he said?" she snickered. The guy was: not half bad looking, but he had a bad case of pimples. Yuck. Acting as though she didn't say anything, she gazed at Kira and Ally, hoping they would come up with some idea of girls night out, before that drunken clown in the booth strutted over to keep his promise. She took a mouthful of the frozen Margarita, knowing full well that she would never get plastered like Ally probably would.-

Kira

"Yeah well...." She gave Ally a look that kinda said "Shuddup, don't make me look bad" but was unable to stop herself from giggling. "Maybe...but like I said, I don't have friends really so you can understand the lack of a girls night out experience.....Ally." She did catch what the other guy said and turned to look at him with a small wink. Did she want the attention? Nope, but turning him away she would get a little spike of emotional outburst to tickle her senses with. "Drink a lot, dance horribly and maybe go to a strip club is on the docket ladies. The sky is apparently the limit so we can do all kinds of things. I have a penthouse with a guest bed and a very comfortable couch that we can retire to and sleep off our drunken shenanigans so I need ideas here. I have a Google phone with the ability to search the world and no idea besides male strip clubs to look for with it." She could finally feel the edge of a buzz and was going to keep that thing on life support as long as she could. (d)

Rowan

It was a crisp and cool night in Seattle, Rowan has been missing tons of action around this club. Blame it on tending to his employees and guests at his inn, he was definitely old-fashioned, so he admits to that part. He parked his black volvo in the parking lot between a set of cars. His oculars look straight outside his windshield, the car's engine still running until he finally shut it off thinking what the heck. He was never shy, more like the social butterfly. He brought the fun to the people not the other way around. This human body he worn so well, kept a deep secret underneath. His skin was a little darker, Middle Eastern and his eyes was a light hazel color as one iris streaked leaving the truth to be questioned by his audience. Pocketing his car keys after locking the car doors, he started walking towards the club's main entrance. Oh, the two bouncers remembered him, he was one of the regulars. "Eh?! Mr. Willis. Haven't seen you around here in awhile. Go on in man. "Hey, this guy was an ally. He gave a light smile to the fellow before walking past those doors. A lot of people was dancing and chatting. He felt tons of energy, his destination was towards the bar. He was of average height in this form, his actual version was taller than this weaker body. He wore a pair of black, athletic tennis shoes adding a short, sleeve gray shirt and black pants. He sat down at the bar, ordering a drink.(d)

Samantha

-Samantha had been sitting with Ally and Kira, making small talk, and trying to decide what to do for this "Ladies Night." She had zoned off a little bit, and snapped back to attention when the others were talking. Sam sipped her Margarita, hoping someone had come up with an idea. "There's always the Space Needle." she commented. She hadn't been there yet, and didn't know about the other ladies at the table, but she did like being outdoors. Inside was okay, but she didn't want that crazy loon of a man to come over to their table and start flashing his dick around. Oh why had she mentioned getting laid. Hazel depths lifted from her drink to look at the man who strolled through the club like he owned the place. He looked like he just came from the gym for fucks sakes. She was somewhat surprised they allowed patrons in dressed like that, but...hey. It wasn't her club, or her business. Samantha crossed her legs, and said, "strip club. There's got to be one around here someplace." Kira was the one with the Google access, so maybe she could MapQuest something. Since the accident at Angle Lake Park, Samantha was without her bicycle, and she had gotten to Trinity via a cab. "Who are your neighbors?" she asked Kira, because that was the last thing she heard before she zoned off.-

Allyson

- Ally couldn't help but giggle when Kira said her name and gave her that look. She was quiet for the moment though as she let Samantha and Kira talk about possible destinations that the three of them could visit during their night out. She was busy working on her third drink of the evening and it must have been showing that she was getting a little tipsy. Glassy eyes looked over to the two of them once more, smiling at the mention of the space needle. "Do you think they let intoxicated people in? I mean.. I don't want to get sent to jail for drunk in public or anything." Smile seemed to be plastered to her face right then, but she didn't care. She was having a good time and nothing would really ruin it right then- (D)

Kira

"Space needle...I don't know. Seems like a touristy thing to do but it's a possibility. Ally raises a good point though. I think she's going to be our first drunk here and do we really want her weaving an wobbling around at great heights while we giggle our brains out behind her? But yes...we have two options...the Seattle Gentlemen and.....Centerfold I think it was." She finished off her fruity drink and ordered three red headed slut shots and a whiskey sour for herself, bypassing Ally's comment about the drinks for her being Ally's treat. Kira was after all the one with a job thus far. "My neighbors, just met them here last night funny enough...Nick and Addison. Lovely people once you get to know them. Maybe we could just have a party at my place and bring strippers there! Mmm maybe sans the strippers but I have a filled bar so...." (d)

Rowan

Rowan never truly wear anything flashy nor something costing a million dollars, he was not from around here and was more of an immigrant. He looked towards the women who he observed from afar, he felt something centered around two of the girls, the other was human from spotting her from behind. As for owning, he did need anything nor his wardrobe was flashy more likely casual. He wasn't sure exactly who was what, he knew shape shifter but the other was a bit outside similar to him a little bit except he's felt this one's energy more than once. His slender frame never did enter a gymnasium, that is so American. He watched the bartender return, slide him his glass of red wine. "Thanks. "The burly man nodded to one of his regulars, he often struck up a conversation with him. Tonight wasn't one of those. He sipped his wine, his cellphone and wallet strapped to the right of his hip. The one thing about women was always mysterious. He was the outcast, the foreigner away from home. He wiggled his left fingers some. Rowan did not dare get too caught up in any feminine bonding. He knew better. (d)

Samantha

-Samantha had been drinking the frozen Margarita, when Kira answered her question. She almost spit her drink out of her mouth when she heard the names of her neighbors. There it was. The Master of the City, whom Axel had told her was Addison, and Nick must be that asshole that she met the other night. Good God. Couldn't go too far without everyone knowing who they were, could she? She tightened her fingers around the stem of the Margarita glass, and kind of went silent. Kira was probably right about Ally, she was pretty tanked. "I don't know, going back to your place...how far away from it is the Marriott Waterside. Because she like really needed to get a ride back to the hotel. Besides, there was no way she was going to get drunk even if she drank gallons of Cuervo Gold. Hazel eyes glanced to the fellow that entered once again, something was off with him too. –


Allyson

- She didn't get tooooo crazy when she was drunk. She'd mess around and what not, but unless someone had drugged her alcohol, then she was just a funny drunk. Which was the stage she was at right then. "Well, I'll leave it to the two of you since you both seem to be in a better mind set then I am." She took another sip. Going to the strip club could be a fun thing, and also a place where she could probably blow through a lot of money and not remember about it till she was sober the next morning. "Just as long as we all have a good time, then I'll be up for it." She was someone who liked to make sure those around her were having as good a time as she was. If they weren't then it really wasn't a good time and she wouldn't partake- (D)

Kira

She didn't miss that little pause and the look on her face when she mentioned those names. Well Nick had been a little bit of a dick from what she'd seen so maybe that's why she'd seen Samantha walk out the other night? She shrugged slightly. "I don't think it's far from the Marriot, it's pretty centralized in the city." She continued to drink at her sour and smirked softly at Ally's comment. "We already are having a good time, no worries there." (d)

Nick

Nicholas was dressed sharply as per his usual standard, combined with his youthful almost boyish appearance, and appeared more of the young executive or debonair mold than that of the "typical" Fed. It was nine times out of ten an advantage. God forbid the man ever have to go undercover or dress down, while indeed he just as easily could have. After all, it wouldn't have been the first nor last time he'd been caught looking less than GQ. Of course it wasn't an issue, though Nick did not see any reason what so ever that he should look anything less than his best at all times. Appearances were however not everything. For as charming as the man could be, he very well as easily qualified for every penny involved as being just as big an asshole as he was meticulous in his appearance. He was "off" work, off duty so to say, in some regard… even though he was never truly, ever really off duty. He'd stopped at home, the penthouse, to freshen up and consult with Addi. He found himself standing on his terrace, iPhone in hand, dialing Kira, phone to ear, he listened as the other end rang. The phone was pressed to the left side of his head with his left hand, while his right adjusted the purple and black square patterned tie's knot in a meticulous fashion. (d)

Rowan

Rowan lost many of his older friends including hasn't heard from the former MotC either. Everyone he knew had left or so he has heard recently, it was getting lonesome and he was no lack of entertainment for nothing. Rowan did not deliberately go straight over to introduce himself, have to do it another time. One of the male rules wasn't limited to him, he knew exactly when not to and when to. Drinking the last of his wine, there was an itch to find room to find something to do, anything like right now he could simply perform a simple hocus pocus. Oh, no can do. The women over there would just provide what he's seeking. Standing up, the Prince walked forward hoping they wouldn't mind an extra wheel. "Hello there ladies. Mind if I join you? Or is this girls only?"An Arabic accent flowed past his lips, he looked at Ally then the other femme fe telles. No, Rowan wasn't a jerk. That never described him, polite and gentle. But, they was new and he was a man from overseas more or less. (d)

Allyson

"Well, I'm glad we are" she smiled, finishing her drink. "I wouldn't mind taking a taxi back to my hotel.. I mean it's not that far from my place unless I just.. pass out someplace" which might very well be a possibility considering how much she'd had to drink already. Eyes were drawn from Kira as she heard that voice come from someplace eyes, soon looking towards Rowan as he asked if he could join in. She knew it had been between the three women, but she didn't want to speak drunkenly for the entire group. Eyes looked to Kira once more, wondering if she wanted to have some more company or if they were going to indeed have that girls night out- (D)

Kira

::She was lucky enough to have been holding her phone when he rang her so she felt the vibration as well as saw the phone light up. She finished the sip of her drink and laughed lightly at the coincidence of him calling just as she spoke up about him. She looked to the man, frowning as she pointed to the phone and answered. "Hello Nick! I was just talking about you!" She turned to look back at Ally and shrugged. She'd let it be up to her. "I was just thinking about bringing some friends back to my place, hope we won't make too much noise." (d)


Nick

Speak of "the Devil" in vain, and he was bound to oblige. Apparently she had just been speaking about he himself, who was by no means any sort of Devil... at least in terms of what he actually was. He was nothing so sinister, though his behavior at times certainly might have left people guessing. "Oh Really"?... He had to chuckle at the coincidence then, that she had indeed just been speaking of him when he had called. "It's "off" hours for me, no pressing business to attend. Was just calling to see what was going on tonight, perhaps Addison and I could join you if you do? In the spirit of being good neighbors and all"?... (d)

Rowan

A light smile flickered across his innocent mask, he posed no kind of threats, nothing whatsoever. All he was here for was trying to find room to settle in Seattle but it did not help being a hermit, so he made a tough decision to make to give socializing a try. He had call his mother back home, she was thinking that there could be other supernatural like him. He bit his lower lip, those eyes was sincere while he was looking straight at Ally but as for the girl, Kira, he wasn't quite sure who she was speaking to and could care less at the moment. He said nothing, he stood right there not moving from this spot. "Well?"It was all up to either of them, but if not he'll check back another time. There was always tomorrow. (d)

Allyson

- Seeing as Kira was on the phone, she looked back to the man for a moment. The look in his eyes seemed very sincere and Ally didn't think it could hurt if she invited him.. though she didn't want to put a kink in any plans that Kira had. "Well.. why don't you pull up a stool and have a drink?" she asked with a smile, offering that invitation to him to join them. She was still cradling the whiskey and coke, the cool glass brought up to her lips as she glanced from the man to Kira and back. "I'm Allyson Bennet," she offered to him with a smile. Eyes were very well glassed over and there was that underlying laughter in her voice that never seemed to settle. What the heck, you only live once right? (D)

Rowan

He wasn't going to use magic, couldn't let them on what exactly he was just yet. It was better that way. He scooted up a stool then joined them hoping the girl, Kira did not mind either. "Rowan. My name is Rowan Willis. From Cairo."He gave an innocent smile, his appearance was nothing but pure innocence so it will seem. That was only part of his description, he found new Seattle inhabitants in replace of the old ones that was once here. That was Cairo, Egypt. Nothing like the Prince of Egypt, course he was a Prince but as far he was concerned he kept to his civilian appearance. Moses nothing, he held a noble stride and showed no disrespect to anyone. "Having a good time I bet?"It was his priority after all. Seeing people happy and entertained, he would not be Rowan if he did not. "A pleasure Ms. Allyson."It was flat out respectful, he could not speak to the girl on the phone so it will be her instead. "New here?"He questioned, Rowan ordered a second glass of wine leaving the tender to fetch it for him,and while he waited he was striking some form of conversation. First impressions and all that. (d)

Allyson

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Willis from Cairo" She offered him a polite smile. She foudn nothing wrong with the man at all. Polite, had manners and wasn't making any sort of sexual advances on her at all like most men would. A real gentleman indeed. "No, not a good time." she said to him, her face sobering up enough to give him a straight and rather gloomy look before she broke out in laughter once more. "No, we're having a great time. Having a few drinks and meeting new people. It's always fun when you meet new people, don't you think?" Tilting her glass towards him before she finished it off. "Yes sir, I am. Came here for vacation, just got in a few hours ago actually. Decided I needed to stretch my legs and here I am. What about you, Mr. Willis? Cairo is a long ways away from here" (D)

Kira

"That's great! Yeah feel free to come over, especially if you know how to mix drinks. Ummm we'll be taking a cab soon I think, or finding some way back after I finish this drink." She laughed lightly and nodded at Ally, "okay'ing" her idea of including the new guy. This was about meeting guys as well as friends right? Well from her point of view it was, even if she was starting to think along the same lines as Nick had said the other night, she didn't need a guy right away. (d)

Nick

"Alright then" Nick chuckled a moment, concerning the 'especially if he knew how to mix drinks' solicitation included in Kira's invite over on to the penthouse next door to his and Addi's. "Addison is handling some paperwork and shouldn’t be too much longer, I'll let her know though to come right on over when she's done if she isn’t by the time you and yours guests arrive"... He could only imagine... It sounded like Kira was at a nightclub. Given his description of the sights to see of the city, as he knew them, Trinity was a good bet. After all it had been where they, he, Addi, and Kira, had met. "Call me when get back home then"... Conversation over, short and sweet, the iPhone's connection to Kira's phone terminated as he then glanced to the terrace of the penthouse next door, 3902, and chuckled. What dumb coincidence was that? He strolled about a bit, enjoying the night air and the view from the top, 39th, floor for the first time since he'd acquired the place. Sure, he'd taken the time to asses it as being to die for, but had never really taken the time to appreciate or enjoy it.(d)

Rowan

He laughed when she said his name like that. Shaking his head, he requested she did not need to speak his full title. "No need for that Allyson. It's just Rowan or Row, either one of those is fine."Kind of made him sound like the Governor! As for sir, he left that alone too. Rowan wasn't one to snap just cause someone addressed him as such. His polite demeanor came from his strong family, they were all good people and taught their children how to show respect. His father nor mother would never let their son be anything less than a man. Although, he enjoyed sexuality as much as the next person he wasn't at all like most of them loser. And sure as hell wasn't a cheapskate. Just as Ally said she wasn't having a good time, he smacked his jaws like Macauley Caulkins look-a-like. "I was going to have to bring out the slippery slide and hose."Old school toys with the wet slide, may actually give them plenty ideas for parties. It was to bring out his amusing side so she could have all the fun she needs to. Rowan did not seem as if he was dull, he was the life of all parties more or less. The bartender returned with his second glass, he drank this one slowly as if he was part vampire without draining the entire content. "See, you're also quite new here as well."His gaze fell on Kira, looking to Ally then to the woman who his detection meter was feeling, she could not be human, he would've known she was. (d)

Allyson

- She smiled, though nodded her head to his request "As you ask Row," she still felt a bit uncomfortable speaking to him with the name but it t'was what he was asking for and she would respect that. After all, she was more
comfortable with people calling her Ally then Allyson. "Oooooh!" she said, sounding the split image of a 5 year old right then "Water slides are the best!" She.. would have never said such a thing in the tone she just had if she
were sober. But being that wasn't the case, she sounded a bit immature. "Yup yup, new to the town." Eyes glanced to Kira, brow arched "So what are we doin'? Strip club? Other bars?" Course she probably didn’t need anymore liquor right at the moment.. but who was she to refuse a perfectly mixed drink?- (D)


Kira

She ended the call, bringing the phone down and grinned broadly before laughing and looking up at Ally. "Oh okay so plan....we go back to my place, Nick and Addison are going to join us at some point. I'm going to put my neighbors to work making drinks for us and we can watch movies or just talk about the good ol' days or...ya know....general small party stuff. Sound good?" She drank up the rest of her drink and giggled a little. She was tipsy but drunk wouldn't come for a while. (d)

Rowan

Apparently, Rowan wasn't invited to this party and he wasn't upset about any of it like some were about it. Besides, Rowan has other agendas to worry himself over than a party for chicks. There was no response from Kira to his last inquiry so he did not bother. These women really knew how to put their liquoir away. Hope they can get home in this condition, for him he could pack a wallop compared to them. His blood sapped the strength of what makes people lose their sobriety, he alone will need probably much more than that before he completely falls out. He heard Ally's answer. Sweet. "Cool, cool. How are you liking it so far?"He has only been here for like two or three months so far is it? As for the distance he really could not explain exactly how he got here to her, it'll be complicated. "Yeah, it is very far from here."Distance to him wasn't a problem, what with his abilities there really wasn't nothing too hard for him. She'll definitely be shocked to learn he did not drive but used a transportation of his own, for awhile he'll keep it to himself. (d)


Allyson

"Seattle is a breath of fresh air, though some might not consider me being that far from home.. I came up here from Oregon, but from what I've seen it's heaps and bounds different from my home." Greens' glanced past the man to look at Kira, giving a nod to her. More liquor and more people to meet, sounded like a lovely time to her. "That sound's like a plan," she smiled, though looked to Row "Would you care in joining us? The more people at a party, the merrier" she probably sounded like a broken record at this point, but she liked having company when she drank. Made things go by quicker, and all sorts of fun things sprang up as opposed to drinking alone with nothing but the TV, if even that keeping you company- (D)

Kira

If Row had actually talked to her, she hadn't noticed, she was engrossed in the phone conversation. "Alright, so I'm done. Ally, you're done and....I'm sorry I didn't catch your name?" She looked around a bit with a slight frown. "And I take it that whatever that text was that Samantha got took her away? Okay well, I took a cab here so I'm going to offer up a cab seat if you guys want to come with me that way." She wasn't all too worried about people coming with her back to the penthouse now. If there was trouble caused, well her neighbors were going to be there and would have more than enough means to make things all better. Well that was if she didn't get to taking care of the problem herself. So a man Ally had just picked up tagging along? Not a problem. (d)


Rowan

Oh! Yeah, Kira was enveloped in her phone chat to have noticed. That's right, pretty much so. Rowan was waiting till she hung up before he spoke, he did not want to be rude especially when someone was talking on the phone. He sipped the contents of his glass, then sat it down so that there was no stranger between them. "Name's Rowan. I'm Rowan Willis. "He smiled softly, hoping not to have ruined anything or nothing like that. His eyes turned to Ally who asked if he wanted to go. Really? If it was okay with Kira. "I would like that Ally. It's real generous of you. I could help with the neighbors. "Rowan offered his assistance, he wanted to be helpful in case Kira will need extra hands and everything. He lived in an apartment downtown, an expensive one with a set of fish tanks he made sure to take care of before he went anywhere. "That's fine. “As for Ally sounding like this broken record, nah. She sounded great to him anyway. "I'm game. “Confirming he was up for it, parties was something he blend into. (d)


Allyson

"I guess so.. she darted off into the crowd." she spoke to Kira about Samantha. She'd like talking with the woman, even if it had only been for a short time. She hoped she'd be able to see her again in the future sometime soon. "And I would love to come if you wouldn't mind the company.. i can't really drive back to my own hotel room at the moment." A drunken smile coming to her features. Hand raised up to flag down the tender, wanting to close down her tab and get her credit card back from him. " Well, good company is hard to come by anymore Row. I was lucky in finding people like Kira and you. You both have really made my night worth something." That piece of plastic which held access to her vaca money came back. That slip was signed and a $15 tip was left for the tender. "Well.. all my affairs are done and done" That smile given to them both- (D)

Nick

Nick went back inside, finding Addison in the library which had become their combined, mutual, office away from each of their respective offices. He gave her the short and sweet, Kira, their new neighbor whom they'd gotten "acquainted" with the evening prior was having a little shindig... Nick in more way's than he'd cared to however, had acquainted himself with Kira, hindsight ever the bitch. Addison's status had not changed since he'd checked in with her having arrived home not an hour prior. She was still tending to a small mountain of paperwork, though informed him that she would venture over more likely than not when she was finished with her affairs. He gave her an affectionate peck on the right cheek, his warm lips keeping contact a moment before leaving her to "it". He wasn’t exactly comfortable with the idea of Kira, whatever she was, base on what he had the misfortune of seeing. All the same, it was better to be on friendly terms with her, whatever she was, if he was going to be or had to be on terms at all. In the spirit of being on friendly terms, as he had set the framework for the other night amazingly enough given the glimmer into her he'd taken the liberties of extracting without thought to the possibility that one day he was going to see something he really did not want to. In every other instance before her? Even with all the fucked up things, nothing could even begin to compare with what he'd been immersed in concerning her. All the same, the only thing he could do was put his best foot forward thereafter, put that shit in a box... and throw that motherfucker into the ocean right? Fat chance. The curiosity remained, concerning Kira, even given how there were no justice in words to describe what he had "Seen". He waited for the call, from his new neighbor... and friend.(d)

Rowan

What she said, about good company is hard to come by, perhaps she was onto something there. His right fingers curled along the glass, feeling a new energy hit his nervous system locating a familiar presence. One he hasn't met face to face, only in passing during his time at the mall. It was when he was in another form, this one was his base one which he used to get around more freely and easily. "It makes me feel better hearing you say such things Ally. I'm glad to have met all of you just the same. I don't get out too much to be able to do anything, thought I step from my business and home so that I may find something to interest me. Good to know Seattle really is getting some newcomers. "He did have his own car outside, he'll leave it there and ride with them. His hues side glanced at Ally's cheek, the other Kira was considerate too. "I would hope we can continue doing this. “Should do this more often, these get together for all of them. Humans and supernatural together. (d)



Kira

She wasted no time calling a cab when all was settled and they were in agreement to retire back to her place. She got up after Ally paid and she was able to do the same and made her way outside to wait for the cab. No a long wait
and soon they were coming into the lobby of the apartment building and Kira pulled out her phone to call up Nick as they made their way to the elevator. "Hope no one has a fear of heights" (d)

Allyson

- She gave a pleasant smile to Row "Well, you're very welcome. It's not very often that you meet people with manners and pleasantries that you've shown to me." Credit Card was slipped into a pocket carefully as she followed Kira out of the bare, albiet a bit of wobbling. She was glad when the cab arrived, slipping into the vehicle as they headed off to the apartments where Kira lived. "Wow.." she muttered as she slipped out of the vehicle, looking up at the large yet beautiful building before entered within. The buzz was wearing off a bit, though she'd certainly get another drink when they arrived at the party- (D)

Nick

The building where the lot of them lived, were less classified as "apartments", more that the facility was the Seattle Hyatt with floors 18 through 39 being Luxury residences, and the top ten floors being Penthouses. The top floor? 39, had only three. 3901 occupied the Northern half of the floor, a touch over five thousand square foot including balconies and a north eastern, and eastern facing terrace. 3901 was Nick and Addi's, for the time being, whereas penthouse 3902 occupied the south eastern corner, of the buildings tippy top, with likewise views and terrace. To refer to such a facility as an apartment would have been a drastic, perhaps humble, understatement. Access controlled, high ceilings, practically no amenity spared, and with more marble than Rome herself? The units were more palace than apartment. Nick removed his phone from his left pant pocket and answered, noting the caller, lifting it to his ear with a smirk as he made his way out the front door of 3901. "I take it you have arrived"?... He waited outside in the corridor. (d)

Rowan

Rowan was there and caught Ally before she crashed without warning. He held her left, upper arm until she was okay having seen her pack enough alcohol into her system. Steady as they went, he was close by and not very far away.
"Careful Ally."He smirked, then released his hold so she can be independent enough on her own. If she was going to be alright, that's all he really needed to know. If not, he had it all under control regardless if he was not already in her care after drinking that much. His own phone and wallet was strapped at his right side, he followed inside while checking out the decor of the outside and inside that made him compare his abode to this exquisite one. His apartment was upstate but this one took the cake entirely so. "It should is really nice."Tilting his head a little, his brown hues looked from the ceiling to the walls and flooring. There has to be tons of dollars to keep a place like this up. Mortgage payments must very well be paid in full seeing this place. (d)

Allyson

"Thanks" said to Row. Cheeks went a whole different shade of red as embarrassment set in, though she couldn't really help herself right then, the alcohol still rushing through her system, Things seemed to be alright once they reached the elevator. Slipping into it silently, she moved to lean in the corner, eyes closing as she thought about how badly she was going to be feeling the next morning over. Well.. she had no one to blame but herself, so no complaining. She bet it was one of the upper floors they were heading to, and probably would be treated to a stunning view of the city.. and if not that then a lovely view of how a really nice palace should look among other things. Glassy green's opened to watch the counter as they headed upwards, each floor passing by within a couple of seconds of each other till it started to slow to a stop. "I.. guess we're here huh?" asked to Kira and Row- (D)

Addison

Paperwork was finished and just as she had told Nick she would wander over as soon as she had finished. When she had moved into the penthouse, no one but the two of them had resided on any of the top four floors, but she didn't
openly object to the whole having a "neighbor". She started toward the closet to change out of the jeans and long sleeve crimson button down, but immediately changed her mind. While it was a get together, she didn't get the suggestion from Nick that it was of any type of more formal or classy dress code existed. Which suited Addison just fine. A pair of tan Merrell's had been slipped on before as she made her way toward the front door. While not
in a hurried fashion long legs had her putting a hand on the door knob within a few minutes of having finished up with her paperwork. A flick of wrist and she was out in the corridor, making sure the door locked properly before finding her way to 3902. Dark waves of chocolate had been pulled up into a twist keeping it up off her neck. Her key card and been slipped into the back pocket of her jeans and her cell, was clipped to the side of her jeans, covered by the button up that had been left untucked. -d-

Nick

Nick himself was going to bet on the side of common sense and assume that the event was going to be a fairly casual one. Even so, he was not going to change for the occasion, would remain dressed as he was. He had greeted Kira and Co. - Unknown at the front door of 3902, Kira's place, and not a second sooner than he'd spoke to introduce himself while Kira utilized her keycard, had Addison with usual grace, poise, and silence came up from behind to join them at his side. "Hello"... He said with a polite smile, his right hand then making gesture towards Addison. "This is Addison, I am Nicholas, Kira's neighbors"... Naturally, as a matter of courtesy, he expected return information as to put names to their shining faces in return. He was wearing a Dolce suit, black, and same such black wingtips, with a white dress shirt, with a patterned tie of small, 1/8th inch black and purple square, which at that point he loosened as Kira opened the door and motioned the lot of them inside. The obscure jade cufflinks, Addi had given him as a gift, were naturally being worn. His pale blue-green eyes, the green more pronounced of the coloration, transitioned lazily between the female and male guests he had not yet become acquainted with. (D)


Rowan

He walked in after Ally soon as Kira had allowed them entrance, it really felt cozy. The soles of his shoes moved further inside, the temperature of this room was just about right. Rowan walked towards a window looking out into the
night, he did not look straight at Ally but answered her question. "Yes, we are. "Then someone knocked, he saw Kira invite another set of people. His eyes looking to Nick and Addison who the man had introduced the both of them. Addison? They have met once, at the park no? As for Nicholas he extended a hand in a formal greeting between the two men. "I am Rowan. This here is Allison, we just arrived. Heard you was coming."He looked over to spot Addison, haven't seen her in a long time. First times never did count. "Addison isn't it? It's nice to see you again. "Rowan was quite formal, a great host voice seems like he's done this forever. Being the owner of an inn, it was nothing new. As for Kira, this was her home so what she did was her decision. (d)

Kira

She'd wanted to manage an introduction but her phone picked that time to light up with a call and she winced at the person who's name came up. She opened the door, smiled as Addison and Nick met them there and allowed everyone inside before stepping to the side and listened to the slight rant on the other end of the phone. "Yes dad, I'm sorry. Tomorrow I will get it done I promise. You've nothing to worry about I just got on vacation and it slipped my mind today, not that I forgot completely. She'll get it I promise...........Okay dad, I love you too. Go to sleep now." She sighed as she pulled the phone away and grinned at everyone. "Sorry guys, had to take that call. Nick, Addison, it's great that you can come over." She moved them into the living area where the bar was situated and sat down, slipping her shoes off. The living area was situated a little to the left of the entrance and lead out into the wrap around terrace. (d)



Allyson

- First thing she did as she stepped in was gazed at the beauty the place gave off.. It wasn't very often that Allyson was left in awe from the way a place looked.. but Kira's palace like apartment was just amazing. Hues continued to wash over the beauty that filled the place, though her eyes were soon pulled from the interior to the couple that soon appeared at the doorway. Looking at the two of them she really felt under dressed.. There in her light blue tank top, faded jeans and her old Nike running shoes she just felt.. out classed really.. Though it didn't stop her from introducing herself. Green hues were still a bit glazed over from what she had to drink at the nightclub, but she was slowly coming around. "Hello, It's a pleasure to meet you both. I'm Allyson Bennet, though most people just call me Ally" she extended her hand to both Nicholas and Addison for a hand shake.. though maybe it was the wrong move to make considering their settings and the company.. let the second guessing begin!- (D)

[Nicholas West]

Addison

She glanced over the two with Kira as Nick had given her introduction along with his own. A slight inclination of her chin was given toward them just as Kira had opened the door and allowed them inside. Hearing Rowan she had immediately turned in his direction and actually saw more then the first glance she had given over them. " Yes, we met at the park a few weeks back. Rowan, correct?" She was certain that was his name and where she had met him all the same she formed it as a question. She had given Kira polite smile after greeting Rowan. It might not have been the formally right thing to do, given it was her place and her affair. Nonetheless, she looked over in her direction while she was ridding herself of shoes. " Kira, it's good to see you again. I see you got settled in quickly." She hadn't ignored Ally in the least, but she didn't offer her hand to the woman, that didn't in the least look out of place with Addison casual dress. " A pleasure to meet you as well, Allyson." So she had a penance for full names, was someone going to sue her? She crossed into the living area, her usual un-lingering gaze flickered over the room, taking in the space before returning to those gathered. -d-

Nick

Nick took Rowan's right hand in his, offering a firm businesslike handshake, smiling and releasing, transitioning to accept the same concerning Allyson, Ally, and shaking her offered hand much to the same tune though minus the touch of typical aggressive, assertiveness reserved for males or colleagues once Addison had finished in the same. "Pleasure to meet the both of you, Rowan and Ally"... Nick's pale gaze shifted and settled upon Rowan then that Ally's hand had been released, noting that he had suggested it wasn’t the first time bumping into Addison. He was as well then doing a bit of eavesdropping, though she wasn’t being all that discreet was she? Concerning Kira and her phone call with her father. He followed Addison into Kira's penthouse, gazing about, noting the differences between the one occupied by himself and Addi as compared. For the most? Other than the difference in square footage, and furniture selections you might have never known the difference. His eyes shifted to meet Kiras as he paused bar side, apparently he was on drink duty? That much had been implied over the phone. "Lets get the party started"... Rather, he observed and could scent the alcohol on a few present... continued? It would be his first drink, and it seemed he had a bit of catching up to do. Nick moved then behind the bar, without much further guidance from Kira than a look from her shot back. With a subtle motion of his head, then that eye contact was given, he summoned Kira to the bar. While he'd already, technically, been given such permissions... He wasn’t going to start the shit show, and rummage through bar without her approval concerning what was open and fair game. (d)

Rowan


He was happy to see Addison, she certainly was something to admire as it was he knew better. "Yes, that is I. You really look nice. "It was a compliment, he then gave a light smile to the other male, Nick was it? He did felt something around them both, though, each power was not the same nor alike either. Rowan heard Nick about the party, if the gentleman would like a helping hand he's not very far off. "If you need a hand Nick, I'll lend it. Just ask."It was more of an offer, he did mention his assistance and all. His eyes followed Nick where he watched him at the bar. For him, he already had plans what he wanted to do. There was an opened seat at the bar, his legs swung over then settled down, his arms folding waiting for everything to start. This should be one of the memorable night, he did not think anything less but how well it will go. (d)


Kira

She took a look over her shoulder at Nick when he mentioned that they get the party started. Started? They had already started it and that's when she worried for Addison not being able to partake in the alcoholic fun. She nodded at Nick and laughed. "Indeed we should continue this party. I feel like....something fruity. I'm not sure what but how about I trust you not to try to poison me." Did she trust him? Sure, alcohol wasn't going to hurt her. (d)


Allyson

- Well she certainly felt.. stupid for offering her hand to Addison, though it was shadowed as the man returned the gesture. She gave him a firm hand shake in return though still felt disheartened that little stupid mistake. That Gathered Saints: smile that had been plastered upon her face moments before had slipped away though she wasn't one to ruin a party. She followed the rest of them as they wondered over to the bar, her slender form leaning against the bartop as she looked around behind it.. checking out the selection of Liqour that was indeed there. "Whenever you get the chance could I please get four shots, straight whiskey please?" asking Nicholas politely for the drinks, and would certainly wait her turn until the others were served- (D)


Addison

There was little need to worry about Addison being unable to really participate in the alcohol consumption, she didn't really think anything of it. She walked over to one of the full length glass windows and looked out over the city as Nick was getting everyone started in a round of drinks. Easily over hearing the four shots and a call for something fruity. She had allowed the comment regarding her appearance from Rowan to go without check until then. She moved from the outer area of the room closer to the bar and the trio gathered around it. Recalling the conversation with Rowan in her head from the lake, she did remember him mentioning an inn. She walked up just to his right as he sat on one of the stools. " Is everything running smoothly at the Inn?" Obvious who she was speaking to, at least from her stand point. It was polite conversation which they should all know she did pretty well with, considering her want to interrogate. A smile offered Allyson after inquiring as to Rowan's business adventure. It would be only after he answered would she really direct her attention to anyone else. A considerate vampire if you could believe it. Well now if she knew, she would be surprised, didn't Nick always have a drink after work? -d-

Nick

It did not escape Nick that Rowan did not look like he was from around… anywhere? Contrary, Rowan looked like he was fresh from sand land, indigenous to, not that Nick was a belligerent racist or so closed minded as to have disliked the man for the fact of obviously being of the descent he was. On the contrary, Nick was probably despite his life’s story and other factors one of the most understanding, open minded human beings one might hope to meet. However, he did have a particular "history" in the given part of the world he'd known Rowan of since he'd laid eyes on him. Though it was neither here nor there, having only noticed quality of his new acquaintance which was inescapable. He smiled then, shifting his gaze between Rowan and Kira momentarily. "Sure thing Rowan"… If things got wild, Nick might need a hand mixing up the drinks, though how demanding could his own needs, and that of Kira, Ally and Rowan get? Addison's were excluded in that consideration, concerning the fact that she did not "drink"… alcohol. Kira wanted to continue the festivities with something fruity? That was right. Whatever deep dark black hardcore shit she had buried about herself in of nature and or origin… she sure did not have a penchant for the straight up "good", that he himself did. Or at least she'd not been in the mood the other night. He smirked at Kira then and nodded. "Fruity"… He chuckled. "I am sure I can oblige"… Pale Green, blue almost negligible, gorgeous gaze shifting then to Ally. "Straight up whiskey"?... "You're sure"?... Four of them? She'd asked, he'd then oblige despite having noticed she'd already been a few "Deep" from the club presumably. It had sounded like they all been in the club when he'd been talking to Kira. He busted out Kira's barware, namely a shaker which was set on the bartop first came Kira's requested "fruity" beverage, mixed up inside her shaker. In went two oz of blue curacao, two oz of goldshlager, a dash or two of grenadine, and finally four oz of some fancy looking vodka she had housed inside what looked to be a small glass skull. The concoction was something he'd seen made at a club once or twice, not exactly rocket science. He went into the small bar fridge below and opened it up, looking for ice, and pleasantly surprised when he discovered she had a suply of Glace Ice Spheres, which were really some very cool things to have... concerning ice and drinks at a party... or club. He took out a pack which contained a single sphere, opened it, and rolled it out from the package and into one of Kira's rocks glasses, before pouring the concoction of a "fruity" nature slowly over it, letting the mixture fill the glass. Setting the shaker full of said mixture aside for refill apps, or anyone else who dared to indulge in it... as interesting and delicious as it was surprisingly "lethal" on the effect end. Next up! He'd spied a bottle of Woodford reserve bourbon, and gladly obliged Ally's request, and his own needs by pouring four shot glasses full of the amber liquid for her, and one of the rocks glasses for himself. Nick tended not to do shots anymore, but in this case considering he'd mixed a bunch of drink up? He poured himself as well Rowan a shot glass of the mixture he'd made as per Kira's request to try out while he listened in on Addison and Rowans discussion concerning the man’s Inn and prior bumping into. He gazed between those present, smiling like some sort of villain, and slid everyone their respective drinks... he himself taking up the shot glass of the very Blue looking mixture he'd made for Kira, and offering up a toast. "Here’s to us. New friends"... He had limited himself then, having had wanted to utter something hilarious and inappropriate, raunchy... though in this case? he did not want to rub anyone the wrong way. He was certain at least two people in the room... that was a fat chance.. but concerning his two newest friends among? He kept it simple, kept it tame. (d)

Rowan

He felt the woman near and watched as she sat beside him, the shot glass was retrieved as Nick handed him one and thanked him. He did enjoy the conversation with Addison in the park one night, it left him to want to build a friendship with her and others around that may well be new or old to the city itself. As for his inn, he was hoping to do some serious renovations and put spark it up for the next event. Rowan's inn was a home unlike most hotels, wasn't a lot of spunk to it as most will think so. Rowan kept to his originality, nothing to do with wealth nor anything like that. Once people stepped in they'll start coming there as often without knowing it. One has to see before thinking rather or not they'll make use of visits. "It's going swell. I have this event I'm doing coming up."Did not say whose going to doing it what? Volunteers was always nice. Who knows? His last employee left Seattle, so now he was ready to find new replacements. As for the toast, he lifted his glass joining in the chorus. "To new friends!"He raised his cup, then put the rim of the glass to his lips and drunk it slowly. Rowan was careful not to let on that what he appeared. Last thing he needed was drinking anymore strong liquoir, that was never good. Not for him anyway. (d)


Kira

watched the mixing going on with Nick and couldn't help but think that the man had to know his way around alcohol with his job. She knew her way around from hanging out at waaay too many bars after she came of drinking age. It was funny to think that something so evil as herself was so young. Normally when one thought of a creature they'd smack the evil label on, it had some age to it, with her...well she'd just gotten out of college not too long ago. "New friends." She took a sip of her drink after that and laughed at the punch behind it, grinning like a fool. He was coming in after a heavy handed tender at the nightclub and she was already prepared for something to pack a punch it still had her laughing in surprise. "Niiice Nick. Very nice. Do all government employees know how to mix drinks like that?" (d)

Allyson

- She raised her glass along with then, drinking it down with a single gulp, though once the shot glass was finished she had her second up to her lips. Downed quickly she did the same with her third and fourth, stacking the glasses in a little tower in front of her. Looking to the others she gave a little bit of a smile "For good luck." simply said as she turned away, taking a few steps from the he bar to gaze through some of those large windows out onto the darkened city, thinking quietly to herself. Green's were once more glazed over though her demeanor had changed just slightly. Quiet footsteps continued to carry her around the massive palace like apartment, just exploring around, looking at random things here and there- (D)

Addison

Well, now that was different, she didn't bother was her own ad lib to the 'new friends' mantra. She had been listening to Rowan as he just gave a very vague answer. A nod given. " I do hope everything goes well for you then." Almost immediately after she walked as Ally picked herself up from the barstool and started her stroll about the room. She was pretty sure the one had imbibed on one to many shots, but it wasn't her call. A simple shrug of her given before she tried to engage her in conversation. " i don't think I caught where you are from Allyson... " Given the woman's back to her,she casually looked over at Nick to see if he had been given privy to that information. She had been with him though when the two met, unless he had connected wth her as he had Kira. " If you are too drunk to walk out of Kira's place "... " I am not helping you. You can stay here." There might have. She had watched as Kira lead Ally to one of the rooms she had vacant. A light shake of her head as she seen Kira just as quickly coming out with her drink in hand happily. " Well, now that was interesting. How much did she had to drink before she got here?" While it was impressive to watch her down that many shots and walk away. She hadn't seen a person go down that quickly in quite some time. " I don't think you missed anything." The comment regarding Nick and the liquor did have her look over at him once more, only one drink so far. She didn't figure he would start fight with the bottle until much later into the night. " So, Kira, you moved in here, are you planning to stay for while or is this just a vacation condo?" -d-

Kira

She guided Ally into the guest bedroom, lending her sleep clothes for the night after the shots did her in for the night. She couldn't help giggling the whole while though, shaking her head that Ally wasn't able to hold the last bit in. Too bad Samantha couldn't have joined them though. It would have been interesting to test her own alcohol tolerance against whatever Samantha was. It wasn't too long until she was coming back into the living area, drink in hand after putting the human to bed, "Did I miss anything interesting? Maybe a small fight between Nick and a liquor bottle?" She could imagine that happening but not soo soon into his drinking, he'd taken quite a lot in to him the other night at the club so maybe that scenario would be way further down the road of alcoholic consumption. (d)

Addison

The Little Miss

Aghast and windswept, the Dragon's discourse uttered fresh meat in every facet that the brain could perceive. She pounded the streets of Seattle, deluding the staff at Taylor's residence where she had been doted for three days, brandishing the slaves a sweetly taste that trickled delicately between fine legs. The animal bore a mouth so wide that drool lapped her face and strung down her body, slick like oil painting the pavement in a forbidden path to match her destination fuelling the hunger within. Meat, she craved, her desires wracking her body like a bitch on heat; perhaps tonight the animal would grant an indescribable the pleasure of her tight cold and cobwebbed company. The breathlessness of desperation granted her the strength to catapult street from street, knocking the midnight souls unsuspecting against the curb like a rabid dog quick as lightening. This smoldering hotspot of lust and devilish desire warmed her like a moth to a flame, the animal shot out a feverish shriek, ricocheting the alleys, enough to pierce the city's unstoppable sway and covert heinous gawps of disbelief as she rocketed past. The Dragon was closing in, the scented path laid out before her like a breadcrumb tease to which every gallop of fierce earnest gave her one closer taste of human resilience. Up ahead, fifty feet, twenty five feet, the nameless Penthouse emanating the splendors of temptation, ten feet, three feet, and up she leapt, clasping the ledge above the lobby, untrained hands and crippled feet hammered the cobblestones tearing them off, one by one; up one floor, she cooed loudly, her body mounting the side of the building as she aimed for the glowing hue of satisfaction thirty-nine stories above her. Level four, her body tiring, the jaunts and crazed machinations of a dying battering the ungodly pains of hunger; level ten, her fingernails etched the concrete, spinning off to flick at the ground beneath her. The Mistress relented an overpowering scream, monotonous and so bitter that the glass began to sweat and tentacles of madness swept over the building in painful retribution. She leapt higher, higher.. coward of the underworld, she was quick to draw close, and relent the savage.


Nick

No surprise there, Ally was down for the count. Nick rolled his eyes and laughed a soft, almost cold laughter concerning the commentary. If he did drink the bottle, and he could, it was a fight he would win. The fight? Oh but it would be the War he would loose. Surely. It was something he'd long been capable, but knew better than to. Knowledge was knowing that a tomato was a fruit. Wisdom was knowing better than to try to stick it up your ass. Was Nick representative of the wisest men to have ever walked the land? No. Certainly not. However, he was wise for his years and certainly, despite bouts of drinking and "fun" here and there, he was a responsible individual beyond his years. "Of course dear"... His eyes still transfixed upon Addison. "In any event Should I drink myself to the point, I'll be sure to pay your bathroom a visit"... He chuckled, joking, surely he did not intend to get to that point. Even if? Would he ever dream of defiling Addison’s toilet in worship to the porcelain God? ... Of course, the sense of hearing was not one which he had among any particular out of the ordinary ability. Was it just the wind he heard picking up? (D)

Kira

She turned to look back at the door she'd just come from and then back to Addison at her comment and a soft laughter came from her. "Well she's only human. She had a shot, two heavy handed crown and coke's, and then those four shots there....I'd say that hit her pretty hard but I'd already offered that she could stay here tonight. She'd also a business major, on her break and she's friendly enough." Was Kira feeling bad for a human? Feeling like she needed to protect her? Possibly but that was a far stretch. She did like the woman though. She moved to sit on the arm of the couch, looking toward Nick and cringing lightly at the thought of him hanging his head over the toilet vomiting up his fight with the bottle. "Well I know my tolerance for alcohol is more than the average human and considering I hardly think you're human, you probably have a bit more of an ability to survive alcohol. Addison I don't think actually drinks but the blood alcohol will do you in I think...." There was a soft laughter about that until it cut short by a wash of...well weird. She paused, putting her drink down on the coffee table and tried to be as quiet as possible before closing her eyes, as if it would give her a better way of feeling out or hearing whatever it was that had pricked at her. Some early warning system for demons? Maybe so. (d)

Addison

The wind hadn't picked up, and the wash of weird that Kira was feeling she didnt' think had anything to do with the night, but what was out in the night. Addison didn't make comment on the alcohol issue. It had been more than a little while since she had even considered the thought of appearing human like and consuming a beverage. It was never that she absolutely could not but...there was not a reason to do so. It was the blood of someone with a supernatural gift that made her drunk. Even that had been some time, she did get a bit of a rush when biting Nick. Yet that was all the here and there. What had her attention was not Kira feeling weird, or Nicholas behind the bar was something that was coming, she felt it, every sense in her body told her. Only then did she lower her shields in order to try and get more of an accurate feel for the entity that was scaling the side of the towering complex. There was that light cool rush of her power that she didn't know if Kira could feel but she knew that Nick did. Only moments later did she look over to catch his gaze. " Do you... Did you..." She gave pause before speaking once more. "I believe we might have an additional guest." Was she correct? It was apparent they would soon see. -d-

The Little Miss

The beast continued to climb; she had lost all sense of marvel at the plummeting depths beneath her. A feline on the cusp of fascination - floor twenty two - the wind picked up pace; the dribble coating her body was now plastered with thick mattly hair, her face barely recognizable as the darkness became deeper and her vertigo levitating higher. Level thirty one; indeed the spirits of the vampire were considerably battered; her efforts though powerful, lacked the agility and initial speed of the chase. But by now, the human was more prominent than ever; the Vampire could smell soft silken hair, the musky and palatable rosiness of undisturbed flesh. The desirable conquests assaulted her nose and the insane girl delighted in these senses, awash and bashful with excitement and greed. Level thirty six, now the encouragement of this fast approaching target was beginning to make the animal mad with frustration; in her ears the resounding heartbeat tortured her soul, igniting the fires of desperation inside her; by now the vampire was alert more unbelievably than she had ever fathomed; her hands riddled and bruised by incredible climb to reach the girl. Floor thirty-nine. Balcony 3902 - and what have we here, she noted, as the entity scavenged over and landed painlessly onto the side.. The Dragon had arrived, her eyes transfixed on the sleeping human, to which she grinned maniacally, watching her through the glass, as though at that very moment she would pounce right through it and rape the life out of her. Little Miss crawled, her guttural stench of cruelty and morbid jurisdiction littered the balcony as she soiled herself under the influence of outright pleasure. She was pressed up against the glass, licking, conniving, nearly mounting the image of an unprotected woman that lay surrender to her. And as if by magic, the mind of the vampire expelled quickly, like ice, a powerful testament to her delicious insanity, a blinding fury of deafening thoughts that transpired to all who dwelled in this abode. As the power embroiled the air, so too the Dragon whipped out an arm, and shattered the glass barrier concealing her..(d)

Nick

Nick had not noticed it if Addison did indeed get "drunk" when she had fed from him, though surely there was some intoxicating or "heightening" effect his blood carried with it. It had little to do with the fact he enjoyed a drink Or two after work. No. It had everything to do with the fact he wasn't exactly "human", though how much that held true? He did not know. To the best of his knowledge he was the only one in his family with such "talent". If it, that "fact", wasn't true, than it had never been brought up and made known as such to him. His eye's curiously shifted between Kira and Addi, then again remaining transfixed upon Addison’s and holding that curious notion. Of course he felt the sensation of Addison’s enhanced, projected power and presence wash over him... it was something he knew and welcomed. "Did I"?... He inquired, puzzled as to what precisely she was asking him. When she gave her reply it was obvious that she knew something he did not, something beyond his ability to detect which was well within hers. What was within his ability, his means of detection to hear? The sound of glass shattering, rather in this case the thick, uv resistant several pane thick glass window... at least one, being struck with a single resounding 'thwack', followed by multiple large shards sprinkling onto the balcony and bedroom floor. That which had hit the bedroom floor, no doubt, had come from the fact that something was breaking in... rather than out. While the sound of the remaining treated glass falling to the balcony came after the initial strike, as the remaining panes fell loose from their framing. Nick gave Addi "that" look for all of half a second, as his suit jacket was unbuttoned, the single button, and as if instantaneously that bit of black metal known as a Sig Sauer P-229R in forty was removed from the matching black leather on his right hip... immediately he started to move, silently towards where Kira had taken Ally off to bed. Surely, it had been where the sound had come from. He did not immediately move in, no, he paused in the hallway to listen, to hear what he could hear, and further determine and develop the situation from there. Addi girl had been right... they had uninvited company. The kind that had bypassed the buildings access control and or had "special" written all over it. (d)


Addison

It was more do you hear that, did you feel that, but she didn't have to explain any further after the glass shattered, with sound exploding into the rooms. There was that general response people gave given such a loud and close noise. It was to duck, move, hide. None of those things came to mind upon hearing Little Miss's entrance. She remained standing exactly where she was as Nick pulled his weapon and swiftly moved around her toward what ever was transpiring and giving off the feeling of maddening rage. The was one emotion Addison didn't feed from, and even if had been this was a type of insanity that defied logic. Once Nick was in the hallway, the compact Glock 32 had been reached for, she feel the metal in her hands but didn't draw the weapon. What was coming through that window wouldn't be stopped by anything man made. She had looked over to Kira, it was more to feel if she was going to need help in moving from the edge of that couch, but with her shields down, she knew almost instantaneously when studied, she didn't need anyone's help. It didn't matter that Addison couldn't make our what was Kira was or what was crawling through the window, what she did know was in the bedroom, there was something bad coming in. Was it the differing levels of power and abilities that had drawn the dragon to that particular penthouse, and the human was just the icing atop the cake, that it felt she could dispose of without any consideration. " Nick, that's not going to work." She had managed to be just a few arm lengths beside him and to the left of his line of sight. No weapon in hand, but it was a need to protect even that one human girl that compelled at her power and drew at her being, she had to see what it was, and how the hell it got into that bedroom. -d-

Kira

She could feel something, something that more than likely felt a whole different sort like what Addison was able to feel and more like a muddled down version of it. However there was no hiding a predator from a predator and slowly as the creature made it's determined climb up the building, Kira moved slowly across the apartment as if honing in on the creature's presence the closer she came to the same floor. She got to the den, straight across from the entrance to her "home" before she heard the sound of glass shattering. A low noise poured from her lips that a human's vocal cords should not have made. The noise was much more like that of a large cat growling than anything a human could pull off. While Nick might be fine with waiting to move in so that he had his ass cleared in any fight, she was more concerned that something had dared to come into her home and take her human. If either Nick or Addison had any doubt that Kira wasn't human, it was surely dispelled by the speed at which she made her way from that point to the guest bedroom where the door flew open to let her form fly into it and come parallel with the bed. The creature, because she couldn't find a word for just what this was in front of her, The thing just radiated wrong, from the smell of it's hunger to the downright wrong of the general impression she left against Kira's senses. Again that rolling noise of a growl moved past her lips and what little light projected through into the room could be seen shifting about as if the walls were rolling with blackness. “Leave now..." It didn't even sound like Kira's voice anymore. It was far too guttural and strange. (d)


The Little Miss

Little Miss was aware of the rousing alertness coming from those within the apartment. She did not much care to instigate conflict amongst them, only interested in molesting the sleeping person now right within her grasp. As the glass showered upon her, she was laced with razor shards and appeared nonplussed by the detrimental effect it had against her skin, marring the flesh and bringing red welts to the surface that blistered under the moonlight. The carpet inside the room was soft and plush; she had never known luxury to allow her the pleasure of walking on a cloud, and ironically so high up in the Seattle skyline. The animal crawled towards the bed, so quick and untimely that by now the permeating stench of the Dragon was rife in the air, filling the atmosphere with those legendary tastes of gantry urine and ripe rigor mortis. When she approached the bed, Ally was soundly sleeping, her panting breaths and heaving bosom exacerbating the alcohol consumed during the night and this made the animal smile; if one could describe the foul contortion, a smile. Now suddenly, the moment disturbed, the vampire bolted upright, now facing an opposition of unsightly damage that she had considered for a moment, perhaps as beautiful as the human in her wake. This displeased the Dragon, instead of accounting for the demands of the half-breed, instead she opened her mouth wide and shot forth an incredible scream to repel the distraction away. The vampires mouth did not utter sound, she cast these thoughts upon the mind of Kira, the animal did not know how to talk, "Fool! Let me dance with this woman," she hissed, aggravated and about ready to bite off her head. An arm snapped out, taut as a bowstring, snaked around the human's neck, and pulled Ally from the bed; she clasped the human now to her body, crouching lowly as thought she might constrict her tighter should the menace not retreat. Mmn, now that beating soul gave memories to the Mistress, her warm body against her cold decrepit form generating a pleasing sensation flittering her bones. "Mmn, lucky girl, you have this in your midst," she toyed with the girl's hair, a tongue drawn perversely along the neck of her captive, before her eyes were cast upon Kira; her gaze stern and unwarving. She had no interest in this breed. The human was too beautiful. (d)

Addison

There had to be more to the dragon than just vampire blood, after all she would have been forced from the room immediately as Kira the owner had told her to leave. There had been little doubt in Addison's mind that Kirs was human, not that Nick had confided in her about anything that had been seen in there little meet and greet at the club. Addison straightened and made her way to where she could see within the distance of the room. She wasn't scared, that had nothing to do with it, but had that been her, the instant that Kira had commanded her to leave it would have all been over with, yet this beast remained. Wasn't taunting Kira even in her own home. Addison had never dreamt of combining her powers with anyone, but that particular night she had a different feeling. It was her city, she knew of this thing, it was one of the most secretive case that all of the federal agencies had been linked upon. " She said leave, and leave now without the woman." Addison's words were soft in the room, but it was a resounding and demanding echo in Little Miss's ears. " I am Master of this fucking city and you will go." She had never used her authority or even regarded in actually projecting it in front of anyone so quickly after having taken over such. Who was the girl to her? No one, she barely even knew the woman's name but the crime of her attempt to take and use her at her will was not going to happen. -d-

Nick

Nick held his position in the hall, lowering himself slightly with two hands on his weapon while maintaining a clear sight picture through his weapons tritium dot sights. He did not tunnel in on the door, but rather as trained, kept aware of all things in peripheral. Of course, even while being of two separate agencies with different background, their training concerning the law enforcement "game" had been similar enough were he expected Addison to have been immediately near, covering his advance, or in stack behind him. No surprise then when she suggested 'it's not going to work' concerning his weapon. He lowered it slightly into a low ready position, not as aggressive concerning "posture" though just as ready to sight in and put rounds on target should one decide to pop out into the hallway. The rounds he carried were spear gold-dot hollow points… filled with silver nitrate, and capped off with a blue polymer tip. Lycanthrope, or vampire, he or she, would be having a very bad day or night after having had a controlled pair or ten of those. Naturally, at that point he presumed Addi would be able to tell if what had come fit that category of preternatural. If she was advising him that his firearm would not work? It meant she had reason to believe That the "target" was indeed, or not immediately "hitting", as being of either such categorized preternatural group. Without taking his eye's off the door then he backed up to Addi's side and whispered. “Silver nitrate"… As if to reconfirm what she probably already knew, considering her probable familiarity that members of the Preternatural Operations Group were indeed authorized to carry such otherwise illegal ammunition, given the nature of their work. As Addison advanced, so did he, slowly then scanning the room… identifying Kira, and an unidentified "creature" clutching an unconscious Ally. Nick could make the shot. It was his first thought then and there. He'd had a single shot of that tasty concoction he'd made for Kira… but he did not doubt for a second he could make the shot. It was what he did for a living, rather, used to. The Marshals Service occasionally might have called for such activity, but it wasn't a routine sort of thing. The creature was not concentrating on Nick, who had slowly as to not attract attention with the movement even in the dark, brought his sight picture up on target. His right index finger remained off the trigger, as if intimately caressing the frame of the pistol for the time being. As though, he had acquired the proper sight picture, which would leave the creature clutching Ally in it two pounds of trigger pressure away from having at the very least? A very bad migraine. At most? A split second, if that, migraine which would in what was a blink in time become a dirt nap. He was zeroed in on just where the creatures mouth was, and would let the natural rise of the muzzle upon discharge carry his tight shot groups upwards… if that ended up being called for. Nick stayed out of it. Did not issue commands. Addison and Kira seemed to have that end handled. If "the moment" seemed to escalate? The .40 would be making his peace for him. (D)


Kira

The stench of the dragon was enough to curl her lips back in disgust if anger hadn't been the overriding emotion in her right now. She was happy in that moment for so many floors under them and around them to be without residence for surely they would have heard the disturbance and alerted authorities which would have become cannon fodder for the creature. There was also something to be said for wanting to keep her privacy. Those words though had anger flooding her thoughts again. The audacity of this vampire, this....creature to invade her home and steal the human she had put under her protection, however temporary that protection was. She'd offered her a place to sleep and now the dragon was interrupting and tainting her offer.
She grabbed up Ally and her eyes went wide, horrified that the woman might wake to see what was coveting her so closely. The shadows coating the walls and floor pulsed then, as if alive with the anger of that which was animating them. She had to control herself in that instant because while she could unleash those shadows on the dragon, Ally would be caught in it and while dangerous to humans and supernatural alike, it was much more fatal a thing to attack a human with. "That girl is mine. You have come into my home and taken my property. She is mine first....." She didn't make a movement forward, not wanting to threaten Ally with any more harm, because in the grand scheme of what could happen, this was like a light touch. hated the feeling of this monster along her senses but the rage was all consuming in her and she wouldn't let go of it. Addison spoke up and while she could hear her, she didn't dare turn to look at her, didn't dare take her eyes off the vampire in front of her. (d)

The Little Miss

Unbelievable that Ally was still sleeping in her arms; quite content to allow the lubrication of alcohol flow rife in her body. The Dragon, displeased at the crowding terrestrials, retreated back onto the balcony; her moves sharp and sudden, dragging with her the comatose form of Ally, like a baby, clutched at her breast as though even the animal had no intention of mauling her with this audience. She was splayed in a pool of shattered glass, that began to discolour and transpire rivers of vermillion as the feather thin shards dug deep into her knees and palms. Little Miss acknowledged both monologues, first Addison and then Kiras threats and gains to release the human she grasped. Her neck lolled back dramatically, where she laughed, heartily and viciously, where in unison yellow incisors protruded and began to spit feverish wails of comedy into the faces of the two. Her expression fell at that second, instantly, "Then where is my human, girl?" A pivot of rage consumed her; enjoying and basking in the animosity the situation gifted Kira in particular, sensing the girl's grief at Little Miss' apprehension of her friend. This was very intriguing; of all the very special places to have encountered a young beauty, she should be surrounded by supernaturals and half-breeds - just what exactly was this woman's profession? Nonetheless the Dragon was now feeling the sting of starvation; her stomach bloated and malnourished and the temptation of this beating goddess was too much to consider waiting for. The vampire raised an arm and gripped the ledge of the balcony, this was it; leave, which was after all, what they desired, though one fatal flaw; she still carried the girl. As if to herself back over the ledge, the animal grasped the marble, and prepared to leap, and vanish....(d)

Nick

Nick felt something that he had not in some time wash over him. When he did his business, when he killed, it wasent personal. It was business, and to be treated as business, cold, detached, impersonal, and to the fucking point. In this case? He felt something that drove recklessness, or could in some, which was why in part things like becoming emotionally involved ... was ground out of the typical shooter same such as Nick. Not that any of them were "typical" by any means. Nick? In that moment? Said fuck restraint, fuck tact, when he obviously knew it was called for and knew better, because having anything less tended to put lives at risk. He didn’t know if it was that fucking stench he'd
not had the "pleasure" of in oh so many years... the scent of blood, innards, piss and shit, which had gotten to him or not, or whether it was a reaction given Addison’s presence and some drive to protect what he considered his, or some other unseen, unknown machination or force. All the same, without delay, as the foul beast which in the shadows he still distinguished as being female refused cooperation with the commands of Addison, the MoTC, or Kira and did indeed attempt to abscond with Ally as prey into the nigh did Nick burst past Addison and Kira into the room in a tactically coordinated fashion, slow and smooth, which seemed indeed fast as the old jargon went. He moved as the creature moved, in order to maintain his sight picture, which as the creature moved was adjusted to maintain his ability to deliver effective fire on target, killing fire. The creature had made it as far as the balcony with its human, and in that instant, he stopped all movement and held proper stance where there once had been glass to separate the room from the outside world. Focused, as if time had then stood still within that very blink, did his right index finger slip inside the trigger guard and make most intimate, backwards motion and pressure, gentile squeeze with the pad of the fingers tip. Twice, in rapid succession, illuminating the terrace of 3902 and its guest room in brilliant flashes of light, and unleashing a sound of thunder distinctly gunfire. His point of aim had been the armpit of the creatures raised arm, though at the angle he was firing from the projectiles would more likely exit just under her shoulder, rather than passing through her chest cavity to wreak further havoc internally. Had the creature been human however? The two shots fired would have definitely nicked a bit of lung, and caused some serious, probably lethal problems. He tended not to cease fire until he observed the target go down, and only stopped firing because his only line of fire had thus been exploited... Ally was again.. in his way. (D)

The Little Miss

If naught but for a second it appeared that Little Miss had been unscathed by the bullets that had been consumed deep within her arm, her leg cocked up ready to jump over. But just as all hope might seem lost, the human fell from her grasp, slipped from her body and splayed onto the ground unharmed; followed by a measure of stolen blood that leaked from her fresh wound, which had subsequently left her arm useless and limp. She cried out, the fury in her voice terrifying; sending the pangs if bitterness and vengeance fresh into the minds of these human targets. Nicholas West, vampire killer; the beast swung round to face him, her arm hung limply and she was now without food, or pleasure for the evening. Bang bang, Mr West, she thought, as the agony of this puzzling assault began to transpire into her veins and wrack her body in unison. An expression of genuine hurt fleeted over what poor creation of a profile she had been: gifted in her undead years. The Mistress was insulted, and humiliated by this weasley human. How she noted and gobbled up every aspect of Nicholas' intent before she flung her body over the balcony in restlessness. One foot propelled her up, her one good arm pivoted her body back-to-front, and with a last breathless glare at the trio, she fell back from the balcony, and vanished.
