(Victoria) Victoria slowed down as she entered. She knew they were some in the colony who thought she had no right to be here. Or that she was a trader or a disgrace to her people. “After what happened the last time I thought it was best to stay away. How are you Ragnvall?” (Ragnvall) He turned and walked with her as they headed towards the main meeting hall. "I am well. Things here have been pretty quiet. How is your brother? Causing trouble, I am guessing." He said with a chuckle. Tag: Victoria Virus-free.www.avg.com

Mikayla “likes me?” She said blushing a little. Surely Angus was mistaken there was just no way… “Angus, You were there. I want to stay…I like him too. But…heard him. He just told me to leave…he just roared at me to go. I think you might be mistaken.” The wisp- The purple light slipped in, fluttered and move throughout the castle, taking him further and further away from his turret and deeper and deeper down into wings and room he hadn’t been in for a very long time which lead him to a very familiar door. With a familiar name carved into. Beckoning that he open it. (Angus) "Mistress, have you never said things that weren't what you meant? Or were taken the wrong way?" Angus implored, his body language begging her to listen. "I've known the Master for... for a long time. He's always been reluctant to admit feeling anything for anyone. Let alone admitting that he needs them. But he needs you. I know this as much as I know anything. You've managed to get closer to him than anyone I've ever seen in this place. You've managed to give him hope. Please, Mistress, don't take that away from him now. Not after having come so far." (The Dragon) The Dragon looked again at the name on the door. Jerusha. It gnawed at him, teased him, a memory that lay just out of reach, seen as if through some dark glass, familiar but never quite within his grasp, just like the wisp. Bracing himself, he opened the door, willing his taloned fingers to turn the handle slowly and carefully so as not to break it. The feeling of familiarity grew as the room beyond became visible, lit by the light of the glowing wisp. tag - Mikayla, The Wisp

(Scarlett MacAleister) Elisiana. She'd heard the name in vampire circles but did not know this woman. An elder vampire to be certain, but little more about her life or whom she associated with. Vespasian was somewhat frustrating. He’d given Scarlett little to go on and for what might be necessary to gain a confession or at the very least details about co-conspirators, he’d given her little of the way of sanctioning. In all likelihood, the prince didn’t want to know how she obtained the information from Elisiana. As a Protector she was trained in ways to force a confession from not only humans, but from vampires. It was no pleasant…something Scarlett did not enjoy and wasn’t sure she’d be able to apply that training here. She wasn’t sure she still had the stomach for such an interrogation. Hell, she wasn’t even sure if the new prince would allow it. “I will require a standard interrogation kit,” Scarlett said. “They are issued to Protectors. I no longer have one. I may have to resort to torture my prince. It is not my first choice, but it is among my skillset. Is that acceptable?” (NPC Vespasian) "I will ensure you have what you need. And as I said, I leave what you need to do, in your hands. Now," he reached under his desk and pushed the button to summon Hollywood. "my head of security will escort you to the prison cells. Ask her for what you need and she will take you to get what you need. Any other questions." (Hollywood) Hollywood had just stepped back into the armory when the light for her flashed again. She shook her head and headed back to the Prince's office. She knocked then entered. "You summoned me, Prince?" She saw the red head and wondered if she was also needing to be escorted out of the building. The Prince explained who the woman was and what was needed. With a nod, Hollywood turned to Scarlett. "This way." She lead the woman out of the office and down the hallway. Going to speak to Elisiana just became easier and more difficult all at the same time. Tag: Scarlett

(Tori) Victoria return a few minutes later with the books as well as a catalog of their currently slaves. “A female? Really? Mother usually hates those, because she said they aren’t as fun as the males.” Tori said giving her father the both books. “Did she have an age limit in mind? An experience level? Did she want feisty or docile?” (Colin/Vincent) "True, but the last one she had wasn't as much fun." Vincent said in regards to male slaves. "She would like a young one...mid 20s. One who is aware that we exist and can be molded." He answered the questions. Colin paused for a moment, "almost sounds like she is seeking someone to turn." He said as he looked at their father. Vincent simply shrugged. Tag: Tori

(Ariein) Ariein's mind was already formulating a plan as he left the office of the stubborn prince. He had no intention of letting his sister rot in a cell by some ego driven Prince that didn’t see reason. If Eli let him live it was for a reason and it would be smarter to find out who was after him rather than punish her. He was just turning a corner when he heard his name from a voice he hadn’t heard from in years. “Lina?” He said equally shocked. (Hollywood) "It's actually Hollywood now. What...where...what are you doing here? I thought you to be dead? Is Elisiana here as well?" Hollywood had stepped up to Ari and actually reached out to touch his arm to make sure she wasn't seeing things. She could hear the Prince pacing in his office and heard him say, "where is she?" "Hold on, hold that answer. I must see what the Prince needs before he comes looking for me. Head down the hall, take the next right. Follow that until you come to a T, then go left. This will lead you to the armory. Wait for me there. Just tell who ever may ask, that I sent you." She blinked again then turned to head into the office. She glanced at him one more time before closing the door. Once inside she listened to the Prince tell her to get the very vampire she had just ran into out of the building and out of the compound. She gave him a hardy, aye, aye and then left the office. She returned to the armory, quickly to find Ari waiting for her. "He wants me to remove you. But for now, what are you doing here? How are you here? Where is Eli?" Tag: Ari

(Scarlett) The redhead looked to the barkeep and spoke, "Tell him Scarlett MacAleister is here." She remembered their earlier meeting when the prince heard her report about the cartel she's been investigating and pressed for details. She had been dismissed after that, so she hope her sudden return would not be an invasion of the prince's privacy. Scarlett needed to convey the news of what had happened with the phone call a short time earlier and the potential threat to the prince's live. (NPC Amethyst/Prince Vespasian) A rather built man appeared. "This the chic seeking an audience with Prince Vespasian?" He asked Amethyst. With a nod and a wink she turned back to the other customers. "Follow me then. He is in his office." He told Scarlett and started heading out of the club and lead her down a few hallways that took many turns in many different directions, before finally stopping in front of a door. He knocked three times. "Enter." He opened the door. "Someone to see you Prince." The man said and stepped aside for Scarlett to enter. "Ah, Ms. MacAleister, do come in. That will be all, Bruce." With a nod, Bruce left, closing the door leaving Scarlett with the Prince. "May I get you a drink? What news do you bring me?" Tag: Scarlett

(Rhemy and Friends) “I like the places that’s far from the tourist,” JD said as the car pulled up. The three looked out the window. “This place is beautiful.” Alex said “does your family own this?” Rhemy also was impressed with the beauty of the place she could only image what it looked like up close. (Carmen) "Guess that makes sense, that you would want to be far from the tourists when you live in such a place. No, sillies. This is simply a secluded beach. No one owns it, except maybe the locals. There are only a few people who vacation here who know about it." Carmen said as the limo door was open and the driver helped them all out. He retrieved their belongings from the trunk. "Will there be anything else, ma'am?" He asked Carmen. She looked around, "just be back in about 4 hours to take us back to the hotel." She said and with a smile, she picked up her beach bag and she waited for the others to do the same. Tag: Rhemy and Friends Virus-free.www.avg.com

(Ari) Ari smirked. Disrespectful? Since when did the truth become disrespectful. Apparently when one thought themselves too big for their own britches. Well he was the freshly risen Prince who had threaten death to everyone in the territory if they didn't come before him to bow and kiss the ring. He would have laughed that was how funny he found his outburst. But instead he refrained, It would seem that this Prince was just as bad as others when it came to his reason. That was good to know. “Crystal…sir.” He said amusement in his tone. “Good luck with your…prisoner.” He said as he opened the door of his office. “You are going to need it.” He said stepping out. (Hollywood) The Prince simply shook his head and chuckled as the young whip walked away and out clearly not knowing who he was dealing with. Once the door closed he returned to his desk and pushed a button, summoning his head of security, Hollywood. He wanted her to remove this Ariein from the building and then the compound. Hollywood was in the armory doing inventory and making sure the security team was abreast of recent events. Then she saw the red light flash three times on the wall. "Seems I am being summoned. I will return shortly." She knew to not keep any Prince waiting when called. She increased her speed and was rounding the corner to the Prince's office when she ran, literally, into Ariein. The impact sent them both flying in opposite directions and it took a great effort for her to remain on her feet. Once she was stable, she looked up to see who she had ran into to. Who she saw brought her pause. She had to blink her eyes a couple of times to make sure she was truly seeing him. Then in a whisper in case it wasn't real, "Ariein?" Tag: Ari Virus-free.www.avg.com

(Scarlett MacAleister) Scarlett arrived at the Midnight Society within a few minutes after the mysterious phone calls came. She walked through the front doors after handing over her weapons to the doormen, who conducted a thorough pat down and metal detectors scan once she had relinquished her arms. Once allowed inside, she approached the bar, dressed in her tight leather bodysuit and long coat, and looked to the bartender known as Amethyst. "I need to speak with the Prince," she told Amethyst. "It is a matter of the utmost importance. He and I spoke earlier. Tell him it is relevant to that discussion and cannot wait." To emphasize the urgency, she slipped Amethyst a $100 bill hoping to speed things along. (NPC Amethyst) Amethyst looked up at Scarlett and gave the chic a smile, "well, if it is of utmost importance, I am sure he will rush right down. Let me just give him a call." She said with a wink as she took the bill and pulled the phone up from under the bar, "what's the name sister?" She asked as she opened her phone to make contact with the one to let the Prince know he had a visitor. Tag: Scarlett

(Ari) Ari didn’t even bat an eye at the toy soldiers that came out of the walls. He simply ignored them and continued to speak. Ari smirked so this was how she wanted to play things. Alright game on then. Ari mirror her casual stance. “My Princes trust me fully immensely but I thank you for your concern," was all he said. “But, Are you really going to play the “prisoner card”. He said in air quotes. “As much as you want to be smug about yesterday and pretend like you and your wolf got the jump on her, You and I both know how wily Eli is. Just like you and I both know how good of a shot she is. If Elisiana wanted you dead, you’d be dead. She let us catch her. And based on how she is acting now, being here is apart of whatever plan she had. Do you not think it would be more effective to use our history to gain the information you seek, Rather than taking the stance of typical jailer.” (Hollywood) With a shake of her head, Hollywood stood up and moved towards Ari, "Ariein, I am not playing the typical jailer. True about Elisiana, but this is how it is going to be. This is who I am. If you don't care for Hollywood, then you are free to leave. You will no longer speak to me in this disrespectful way. You will no longer barge into my offices or any other part of these buildings. I am the Prince of this city. If you over step again, you will find yourself locked up as well." She was now standing directly in front of him, "do I make myself clear." It was not a question. She had enough of this childish ways of this youngster. Tag: Ari

(Akira) "Oh, didn't mean to make you uncomfortable." Akira said with a shrug, "just...um...testing the waters as it were." He said with a sly smile as the two sat down. "If you don't like to be touched, I understand and won't cross the boundary again." He hoped that wasn't the case, he was finding this Gen very interesting. He wanted to learn more, "what do you mean, change?" He asked quietly. (Gen) "No!" Gen said quickly to Akira's apology. Too quickly, the androgyne thought afterwards, chagrined. "I mean, it's not that I don't like to be touched. I... I actually kinda like being touched. Probably because I didn't get enough of it at the lab once I became conscious." He chewed on his lip, trying to think how to explain it. "They were studying me, trying to see how my body would respond to different stimuli in the ways they wanted. So it was always, you know, controlled." "Like I said, I was designed with planetary exploration in mind, so they made my body adaptable to a number of different environments. Including, well, social environments. If I touch someone for a prolonged period, I... adapt to them. My body picks up on little cues they put out and shifts in ways to become more... compatible." Gen blushed as he added "Like for, you know, intimate interactions." Tag: Akira

(Gen) "Sounds good to me," Gen said, following after Akira. "Actually, I was created by a whole team of someones," he went on, shrugging slightly. "Scientists, mostly. I was intended to be used for planetary exploration, and so designed to be able to function in a number of extreme environments and conditions. Different atmospheres, different gravities... I can even breathe underwater if I need to." The androgyne looked around the hallway as they walked. "I can show you some stuff here, if you want." With that, he stopped and took off his shoes and socks and then focused for a moment causing his hands and feet to change along his palms and soles. He then began climbing up the flat surface of the wall like an enormous gecko. "Useful for getting around, no?" (Akira) Akira listened to Gen, extremely fascinated by what the lad was telling him. "Breathe underwater, that's cool. Oh, that won't be...." He was about to say necessary when Gen suddenly started literally climbing the wall. "...okay, but you can get down now. You don't have to prove anything to me. But, yeah that is pretty cool." He glanced around and saw a few of the students who hadn't made to their classes staring at the boy hanging on the wall. "You really need to get down now." (Roddy) "Yeah, kind of. Misty kind of walked me past it, enough to get a quick look. Not bad, I guess, if you're going for Student Dorm Basic. Still beats some of the places I've ended up in. Have you picked which bed or bunk you wanna claim? I mean, since you were here first and all." He paused in thought for a moment, then asked "Uhm, you don't snore or sleepwalk or anything weird, do ya?" (Donny) "I have been here a few years now. I have the bed closets to the window. I rise with the sun." He chuckled, "not sure about snoring, I am asleep. As for sleepwalking, not to my knowledge. At least I haven't ever woke up outside of my bed. Yeah, I don't care for a bunch of clutter. Like to keep it simple." Tag: Gen, Roddy Virus-free.www.avg.com

(Scarlett MacAleister) The redhead bowed and stepped back. As Hollywood moved on to others in the room, Scarlett decided it was time for her leave the Midnight Society and get on with the rest of her evening. She left the main chamber and on her way out left her business card with one of Hollywood's people. She then left the Midnight Society and made her way to where she'd parked her motorcycle so she could move on to her next destination. The Tempest As Scarlett left her cellphone rang. She would recognize the voice on the other side. "So pretty Scarlett. Did you enjoy your time Genuflecting before the new awakened Prince. Did she give you all that you dreamed you could have? Like, say your honor and respectability back? After all, that is what you seek is it not, you murderous traitorous bitch?

Really, then my suggestion is to Humble you. Apologize and prove yourself worthy and give him time to come to you.” (Damon/Draven/Bridgett) Damon took to heart what the lady had said, but at the same time, it wasn't who he was. He wasn't someone who humbled himself to others. So, he said, "I will think on what you have said." He looked in the direction of where Khadashee had looked. "So, he does have a child." He said under his breath, but she would have heard him. Draven spotted the two and debated turning around to take Bridgett back to her mother, but Bridgett wanted to talk to Khadashee. "Hello, finding the town to your liking?" Draven asked as they approached the two. He put Bridgett down once they had joined Damon and Khadashee. Tag: Khadashee Virus-free.www.avg.com

She loved their relationship; on the outside it may seem like they were in competition but they weren’t. She was the Yin to his Yang. Standing she gave him a kiss on the cheek. "A slave for mother must be special. I will check our inventory and see what we have. I’ll grab the books while we are at it.” She said leaving the room. (Vincent/Colin) Colin gave his sister a squeeze. The love he had for her was very hard to explain. Even when they weren't together, he could feel her presence. Theirs was a love that only twins would understand. Once she was out of the room, he turned to their father. "Things are going well. Business is always good. Does mother what a male or female slave, this time?" Vincent was glad that his children got along as well as they did. With a smile, he watched Tori head off to get the books. "Glad to hear it. I thing she is requesting a female. She never did keep the male ones for long, as they tend to make her mad." He said with a chuckle. Tag: Tori Virus-free.www.avg.com

(Ari, Eli) Eli chuckled at the childishness of Hollywood's taunt. The one about her abilities and about her dog. It was so very telling. Weakness…it was telling weakness and insecurities. It also was showing fear and incompetence. The same fear and incompetence that got them all nearly killed…the same fear and incompetence that got them hurt and separated. It also showed ego. A woman who was lost in her own ego that she wouldn’t see the truth about the incompetency's and the opportunities within her own is organization. It also showed her the Hollywood wasn't an affective prince nor was she a big picture thinker. With a smirk on her face, Eli allowed herself to be carted off. Ari hadn’t seen his sister in your 20 years. Did she really think he was going to walk away from this? Without a word he fell in to step following the group. (Hollywood/Diego) Once inside Diego headed off to a private location to shift to human form and get dressed. Once he was finished he returned to the main meeting room to see if anyone was still left after the lock down had been lifted and to let them know that all were allowed to leave. Eli was taken to an elevator that took her down to the subbasement of the facility. Once there she was taken to the prison and put into a cell that was cement blocked with a lead door. Once inside she, the guards stepped out of the cell, backwards, not turning their back on her. Once they were outside and the door was closed, one of them slide open a small door in the main door, "place your hands into the slot and we will remove the cuffs." Hollywood followed close behind with Ari. They rode down in the elevator and entered the prison. The place was dark and smelled heavily of old blood. Hollywood didn't speak while they were in the elevator. She was unsure of what to do with these two childer, that had now reappeared in her life. Tag: Eli, Ari Virus-free.www.avg.com

(Tori) “Yes she is,” Tori said. Tori saw Colin’s face and smirked to herself. But he was her brother…her twin and it had always been him and her against the world. So she gave him quarter and went quiet. “Business has indeed been good. Did you come into town because of the awakening of the prince? Do you know her? Have you met her?” (Vincent/Colin) "I do not know her, have heard of her though. Heard she can be a tough vampire. I had heard about her awakening, but you two are the real reason for me coming to town. Simply don't see you often enough. Tell me, Tori, how about you. Seeing anyone of interest?" Vincent said. Colin looked to his sister with a smile and communicated telepathically, "well, now it is your turn." He lifted his glass to her before taking a drink. Tag: Tori

(Khadashee) Khadashee frowned as they walked back outside. Then nippled on her bottom lip. “I guess whatever you’re willing to share really. I’m always fascinated to learn how people grew up and how they lived. Did you go up on the ship? Where did you go up in a town? If you’re willing to be an open book, I’m willing to red you,” she said with a smile. “You’re gonna sit down and maybe get something to eat.” (Damon) "I ate on the ship after swabbing the deck, before they let me come ashore." He informed her as they continued to walk down the walkway along the busy road. "Nope, didn't grow up on a ship of any kind. My mother and I live in a small coastal town in Wales. As I mentioned, mother is a tavern wench which is how I came to be. Draven's father had a wench in every port. Wouldn't be surprised to learn there are more siblings out there somewhere.
