The Paramount: Back for the first time.

[Allyson Bennet]

Allyson was finally getting ready to leave Club Trinity, the rocking night club in which many of things had happened as of late. First night in town she had came upon the club and had a blast. Meeding a very good friend in Kira, and getting the pleasure of meeting Rowan and Samantha. Later on going back to meet Addison and Nicholas, Kira's neighbors. Of course they weren't the only ones she'd met. Something had decided to try and crawl into the guest room she was sleeping in and tried to take her. Anyways.. that wasn't here or there. The next evening was another night at the club, some illegal fun with Nick in a corner booth and the chance at meeting Dr. Taylor Kane right after. She was more tired then anything.. but her body was still hyped up, those emerald green hues still dilated with the powder Nick had gotten his hand's ahold of, the night still feeling good however tiring her body felt right then. Walking out of the club, she decided to walk to the Paramount where her things had been, knowing that she needed to pick up new clothing and to take a bath.. the undoubtedly known scent of sex upon her body.

Nikes carried her the few blocks, the cool night air feeling lovely after the warm atmosphere of the nightclub. Greens checked each street as she crossed them, soon arriving at the lobby for the hotel she'd checked into. She didn't head to the desk that time, able to head straight to the elevator as she headed up to the Suite room. Key in hand, she opened the door with a loud sigh. First thing was first! Moving towards where she had left her backpack full of electronics, she grabbed up her iPhone. Load's of messages filled her phone, bringing Ally to check each and reply to them one at a time. Finally with those out of the way, she added Taylors number to her contacts list. With that done, she folded up the little napkin and put it into a pocket of her backpack before zipping it up. Lifting it up, she set the backpack down onto the floor besides her duffle bag, which was her next intended target. Fingers unzipped the thing and pulled out some fresh clothes. Under garments, a pair of sweat pants and an old t-shirt pulled out. Comfortable clothes for her walk back to Kira's apartment.

Fresh clothes in hands, she moved down the hallway to take a shower. Clothes left on the countertop as she started to undress, her dirty clothes left in a small pile on the floor. Hand reached to push the glass door open, reaching in to turn the water on. Turning to look into the mirror, she tilted her head to gaze at the marks both Taylor and Nick had left on her flesh. A pair of fang marks left there on her left side, and Nicks set left there on her right. Bright red blush rushed to her cheeks as she shook her head. "God... what did I do..." She couldn't believe the kind of night she had.. how everything had played out up until the moment she had left the club. She would certainly keep those memories locked up deep within her mind, never to come out.. Steam started rushing from the top of the shower, telling the the water was pretty warm. Hand's delved in to adjust the warmth once more before her naked form slipped into the shower, closing the glass door behind her. Leaning against the wall, she just let the warm water cascade down her bare flesh, a soft sigh slipping from her lips. The coke was still in her system.. the water having a crazy effect upon her skin, though she tried to keep it from her mind as she enjoyed the feel of it washing across her.

She spent atleast 45 minutes within the confines of that warm water, slowly washing over her skin with that rose scented soap and shampoo, letting the nights wear and tear wash down the drain. Several long moments later she finally turned the water off, glass door pulled open as she reached out to grab one of those plush towels. Drying herself off, she soon wrapped it around her form as she stepped out. Another towel was grabbed, her blonde hair wrapped up to let dry. Another half hour later she was soon out of the shower, wearing those fresh clothes, the dirty ones held in her arm to soon be stuff up into her duffle sack. With everything packed back up, she slipped on her Nike's and grabbed up her bags, the key to the Suite in hand and her phone in her pocket. She'd called a local cab company before she stepped out of the room, certain they'd be there as soon as she was down. Short elevator ride she was back int he lobby, signing out and handing the key over with a smile, telling the man that the service was lovely and that she'd certainly stay there again. They weren't really lies.. maybe little white lies, but not those serious ones. Either way, she was heading out into the night, the cab ready and waiting. Door open, she shoved her bags inside and slipped in after. "737 Olive Way please" She just gave the man $40, though she knew the ride wouldn't be that long. Her eyes had slowly started returnign to their original state, the drugs wearing off as they passed through her system. Coming down wasn't so nice.. her eyes closing as she just relaxed in the back seat. Nearly falling asleep until they finally came to a stop.

"Thank you." She gave him a small smile and opened the door, pulling her duffle bag and backpack out, door shut behind her. Heading into the building, she stopped at the front desk just to make sure the people there didn't call the cops on her. "Kira up in 3902 is expecting me" They took note of her, but gave her a nod to pass by. Once more in an elevator, she was sky rocketed up to the 39th floor where Kira, Addison and Nick lived. Stepping out, she tussled her hair some, moving it to cover those fang marks, opting to expose the ones Nick had left upon her skin instead. Soft steps carried her to Kira's door, hand coming up to knock softly, waiting for her to hopefully be there and answer.

[Kira D'Valois]

Opaquedelusions: What Kira had been up to while Ally was out partying and doing other illegal activities with certain federal employees was nothing short of stressful. She'd gotten a few hours sleep before important "family" business had her calling. The whole affair was taxing, pulling on strength she didn't have much of in supply after having not slept to move about the city quickly and without notice of anyone or anything perhaps save one entity that shared the city with her. As much as she might have shown human like emotions toward Ally, she had no qualms about using humanity to benefit herself and she'd just arrived back from her summons as Ally knocked on the door. She turned to look at the door and breathed in a lengthy breath before frowning slightly and walking forward to open it. The sight that met Ally probably didn't fit the image she'd expected because at best Kira looked like she might have just dressed after a heavy romp in the bed. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail but strands of hair had found their way to fray out everywhere, making it look like Kira had a tussle. What might have been a nice dark blue button up blouse was now unbuttoned pretty far down and held a few red spots as well as those spots littering Kira's next and chest, some in smudges. The jeans she wore looked as if they had grit or cement mixed with dirt smudged along the right side of her knee and along her calf area. "Ally...come in." The mark that Nick had left on her neck didn't escape Kira's notice and neither did the smell of some sort of unnatural drug compound that pushed out of her pores a little. Normally Kira might not have caught it but just as much as Kira looked like she'd been through something, her senses were sharp as hell now. She stepped back to let her in and closed her eyes to breath out, trying to pull herself together. Her pupils had been a bit too wide, as if they threatened to make her irises rings around the pupils. She needed to change that and pull her appearance back into normal standards before it scared Ally. (d)

gatheredsaints: - Ally was glad to be back from the club and happier yet that she had been able to collect all her items without seeing a hair of that horrid vampire that had come after her. She waited quietly there at the door, dressing in that t-shirt and sweat pants. Duffle bag and backpack upon her form as she waited, though she didn't sit there long as the door was opened. "Heya.." she smiled as she stepped into Kira's apartment. Greens were back to normal, though things still felt a little off thanks to the cocaine Nick had procured. Greens turned to Kira "So what have you be-..." she stopped herself mid-word as her eyes looked over her. Kira looked as though she had gotten into a fight or something. The streaks of gravel and whatnot upon her pants, the red droplets here and there upon her.. "Are you okay?" she asked quietly, a worried look coming over her eyes as she looked over Kira. She wanted to know what happened.. if Kira had gotten into a fight or had been attacked or anything.. because right then she looked like the aformentioned(D)

Opaquedelusions: It didn't seem that she was able to push things back down inside of her and when she opened her eyes again there was no brown to her eyes, only blackness covering them completely. "Just fine now." She could contain so much in her but some things just wanted to play themselves out and if she had to let herself look like what she really was in just this small aspect, she could accept that. "I had business to take care of and then a little side errand. I seems you had an interesting time as well." Her eyes focused on the mark on Ally's neck but without pupils to tell where her eyes were going, there was no telling what she was looking at. She smirked lightly, knowing at least some of what Ally had gotten herself into, and made her way to the kitchen to get something from the fridge (d)

gatheredsaints: - When her green's caught sight of those pure black eyes, she couldn't help but just gaze.. Part of her a little afraid, part of her calm. Kira had told her what she was.. and the secret was safe with Ally.. but actually seeing it first hand was something else completely different. "I.. had an alright time.." She could have imagined what Kira would have said if she'd walked into her apartment without having taken a shower. The scent of lust was well upon her.. thankfully not right then. "Are.. you sure you're okay..?" she'd never seen Kira like that was was a bit worried. She was a friend and she cared for her. Moving into the apartment some more, she set her backpack and duffle bag down besides the couch, feet slipping out of those Nike's as she followed Kira-(D)

Opaquedelusions: She pulled out a small bottle of what was called fruit juice but looked more green than anything and she turned back to Ally with a soft laughter. "Perfectly fine now. I suppose I should preface that with the fact that it wasn't work business but more my own personal business. Did you want some juice too?" She offered her one of the peach colored Odwalla bottles and smiled as if nothing were wrong in the world. "I got a little messy while I was out but if it makes you feel better, this blood isn't mine. What happened to your neck there though?" She noticed how Ally had been trying to hide the other side but she figured pushing down her shirt and finding out for herself might be a move that was stepping over personal boundaries. (d)

gatheredsaints: - She leaned against a nearby wall, watching Kira as she pulled out that bottle of fruit juice. When she spoke next, it did shed some light on what she was talking about.. though she didn't particularly like it. Then again.. she'd been a snack for one with fangs a few hours before hand, so she had no room to talk. "Sure, I'll take one" hand's opened up to catch the bottle that Kira tossed to her, opening it up to take a slow sip. Eyes were looking back at her when she asked about her neck.. hopefully the side where Nick had tried to take a bite out of her. Beneath the golden wave of hair was a small set of fang marks as well.. those would certainly be revealed in time. "Nick and I had.. some fun." she smiled "Danced and what not.." She didn't know how well Kira would take to her flat out saying they did drugs.- (D)

Opaquedelusions: She sat down at one of the barseats in the kitchen and watched Ally as she spoke, carefully listening to everything she was saying and how she was saying it. "Aww naughty naughty federal marshal then." She said the last as if she knew something that wasn't being said, and in fact she did. As to if Nick was involved in the drugs, she wouldn't know unless she got a chance to smell the man, But it was a way to fish for information. "At least you came back in one piece without any vampire trying to abscond away with you hm?" She twisted open the bottle with a tight snapping noise of it breaking its seal and drank a little, glad for the juice to be able to carry the last bit of blood away. The scent was still there for her though, but in all seriousness, Kira could wade through a pool of blood and not flinch a bit. There were worse things in the world and even if polite society didn't like the truly gritty underbelly of their world, she could come out of it smiling and whistling a tune, even more so when she got something out of it. The best treasures were always down there. (d)

gatheredsaints: - Sipping at her peach flavored drink, she remained where she was, watching Kira as she slipped into one of those chairs. "Yeah.. he's quite the party man." a small smile on her face. She wasn't lying to Kira, she just.. wasn't telling her eveerything that went down. She was already slapping herself for what she did... she didn't want to be embarassed about it either. Atleast not right then. When she mentioned the vampire she sort of just arched a brow. She'd met up with a vampire but it hadn't been the stanky one that had tried to repel through the window and steal her off. "So.. " She said, shifting the topic away "Are you sure it's alright that I stay here?" (D)

Opaquedelusions: She felt like a parent beating down upon Ally and it was about time she let up on her with that. The woman could hold her own and she was a guest here. "Definitely an interesting something." Human didn't really fit what Nick was in her mind but that was his own secret to tell if he wanted. He wasn't a threat in so far as Kira could see so there was no huge need to tell Ally to watch out for him. Humans were durable things and Ally had already shown she was able to take the punches and roll with them. "I'm certain I want you to stay here Ally. Someone has to watch out for you in this crazy world and I promise that despite what I might look like right now, I'm not out to get you. I can't say that applies for every human but I like you and we're friends. I know what that means. But just between you and me, it's not the same kind of friendship I've got with Nick. See I'd laugh before picking him up if he say....fell into a puddle. You I'd be immediately worried for." (d)

gatheredsaints: - It wasn't that Kira was being parental or anything, she was just curious about what Ally had gotten into while there at the club.. and.. Ally rather didn't want to go into detail about it. She had enjoyed herself, yes.. but at what expense? She just didn't want to talk about it right then.. she was a bit fed up with herself for letting the things happen, especially towards the end.. up they had happened and there was no changing that. A broad stay. It was really nice of her, and Ally would do everything in her power to try and make it up. She did have a bit of money on her and wouldn't hesitate to get her anything she wanted. When she talked about Nick, she couldn't help but laugh "Nick probably wouldn't accept a helping hand.. Seems' like the kind of guy that likes to do things on his own"(D)

Opaquedelusions: "Nick is definitely a big boy from what I've seen. He can take care of himself and others, I don't doubt that but he doesn't have a vampire's quickness or those lovely means by which to heal wounds. He needs Addison as much as she needs him in a way." She took another sip of her drink and sighed slightly. "Vampires as much as every other thing moving around in this world that was once human needs someone around them to anchor them to what humanity is left in them and when they pull humans into their world, those humans need protection of some sort. That's just my view though, maybe I'm wrong but from what little I've seen, I think I'm pretty on the mark." She finally took the time to look down at her shirt and frowned. "Ugh these stains are never going to get out. There goes one more outfit. I need some of those stain resistant shirts I think." (d)

gatheredsaints: agree with you.. Seems to make sense." though she didn't say it with 100 percent certainty as she didn't know for sure. Eyes looked down at the stains on her shirt, brow arching a little. "Maybe just find some cheapie clothes whenver you go...'out'?" the word 'out' being emphasised. That drink was brought up to her lips, head tilting just enough to give Kira the slightest glimpse as those fang marks just beneath golden locks- (D)

Opaquedelusions: She made a face at that and looked up just in time to catch a glimpse of the marks. Well if Ally wasn't talking about them, it meant one of two things, either she didn't remember them or she didn't want to talk to Kira about it. There was no offense taken to that, maybe it was something intimate. She didn't blab about her sexual adventures, why should Ally? "Maybe, This was kind of spur of the moment. Sometimes I don't get to decide when I got out. It's kind of like being on call all the time I suppose. Not really happy about being called to a damp basement that just got finished but I've been called out to worse places and seen worse things." Every human had a different way of thinking that demons should be called out, some of them went so overboard with things, she couldn't help but laugh at them. For that reason, she was happy that her particular abilities involved blacking out her eyes. It made it easier to look elsewhere than the horrible thing that some human thought was a great treat for a demon. (d)
