Into The Darkness [31 Oct 2005|12:22pm]
[ mood | sore ]

The club she had went into wasn't dead, just full of demons and other so-called freaks, like the unsuspecting cheerleader who had just been taken outside by some 'rad guy, like totally'. Purity had to snigger to herself. Bye-bye, whatever her name was. Eyes darted around the place, music thumping and bodies moving to it without any form of grace. Tip of tongue brushed over lower lip as she made her way to the bar, picking up a free packet of matches before promptly turning on her heel and leaving into the cold dark streets of Las Vegas.

Thumb tapped the matches before hand shoved them into back pocket. It was a way of getting numbers of places that could hold various people who might have information. Her own little collectable phone book which she kept in a drawer in her hotel room. It was clever really, because she used the matches for the candles. The only question now, though, was, where to next?

Shoulders were scrunched and then dropped, relieving any tension in them, or hoping to do so. Dressed smartly in a black shirt with two silver-ish grey stripes down the left side, from shoulder over breast and then torso. It fitted loosely over the black, tight-fitting pants she had on. Head held high as always, she made her way down the street, blatantly ignoring the received glances.

There was a vampire named Katherine, who also happened to be in the streets of Las Vegas. She, however, had something specific to do, in the shape of a telephone call. A small mobile being taken out of jacket, dialled and placed to ear, as she awaited for the signal to connect.

A ringing sound... But heard from both ears, rather than one.

Turning around, she discovered why, disconnecting the call just as Purity appeared to pick it up.

"Seems like it's a small world, after all."

Dangerous type. )

Of course, it would be hard to take revenge if she was accidentally turned into an eel or something...

Another loud sound caused the vampiress to shift attention again. That time to a fireworks display. Las Vegas was nothing if not expressive. But for a hunted vampire, it was dangerous.

"Look, I'll be in touch," she said, readying to leave. "But you pick up any magical whatsit on me and gimme' a call, OK?"

Purity mock saluted, a slight smirk turned grimace being given as she shoved herself off the wall. Nothing else was needed to be said, this she knew. With a casual sweep of her clothes, a deep lungful of air, the witch started to walk back down the ally. Her hotel was calling her, and bed was calling. Sleep. Something she was craving more than she was ever used too. However it also meant her strength mentally, physically and magickally were all at top performance. That was never a bad thing.

Deja-Vu [31 Oct 2005|05:47pm]
Lorne checked his watch. It was exactly 2:42 in the morning, and feeling a wave of exhaustion wash over him, he was about ready to throw in the towel for the night. It had been slow in his club, given the current circumstances regarding the city at the time being, but he was thankful that the evening was coming to a close. The last few patrons in the establishment were finishing up the last of their drinks, and a sleazy looking Neeluk demon was rounding out the last chorus of his feeble rendition of Heart Break Hotel.

Sighing to himself, Lorne stood behind the bar, wearily rubbing his temples with one hand as he lazily mopped up spilled liquor with a rag from the counter infront of him. He was so tired, he barely took notice of anyone else around him, especially the woman who had somewhat discreetly entered the bar from the far doors.

It was late for some. For the vampiress Katherine, it was her version of what would feel like an 'afternoon'. There would still be a few hours until the first rays of sun slipped over the horizon, but Las Vegas was hardly the sort of place which slept during darkness. On the contrary, it thrived on it.

A lot like her.

But even she, a vampire who was more or less in hiding, sometimes needed a drink, which was precisely why she had gone there. A place, by all accounts, which even catered for the nastier things in life. There were a few of those around and, while she usually distrusted them as potential targets for the 'other side' to attack, this would be a short visitation. Something quick, just before she moved on.

A shame that it looked like they were clearing the tables.

"Hey..." She greeted, wanting to attract the green guy's attention. Looked more like an MC than a tourist, so she guessed he might at least know what was going on. "Closing up?"

Lorne had not noticed the woman approach him until she had spoken. He had been startled out of his fatigued induced daze by the sound of her voice, but managed to force a friendly smile in response to her query. "In about fifteen minutes, Crumbcake," came his reply. "Until then, I would be more than happy to pour you a drink if you wish." Without even waiting for her response, the demon pulled out a short glass and set it down ontop of a coaster infront of the woman. "Got enough time left for a number too, if you like. Just no unchained melodies - I'm asleep enough as it is."

Wincing as the inhuman fellow at microphone reached a particularly ghastly pitch of what passed for a voice, Katherine half expected the glass to break. "Oh... Yeah, right," she commented. The ideal of what the place was actually for, having not particularly featured into her plans much beyond it being a source for alcohol. Something she gladly accepted with a gesture of hand.

Not that she was exactly one for singing, but...

Fortune Cookies. )
Introductions Aside.. )
Rock that mic. )
Deja-vu. )

"You're the reason all this is going on?" the demon asked the vampiress, his voice full of shock. "Damn girl, hell of a way to make a name for yourself. Either way, I don't think you want to stick around to find out whether or not my half-assed mock up of a sanctuary is going to hold enough to save your ass. You gotta get out of here, and I need to get these people to safety."

He motioned for her to follow him towards the bar, and hurrying across the club, he stopped infront of a long hallway. "Sorry I couldn't give you a better reading, Pixie-Cat, something a little more helpful than 'run for your life'," Lorne apologized to her before he gestured towards the exit, "But maybe if my club is still standing in the morning or you know, if i'm still breathing, i'll be more than happy to give it another go."

"Not the reason - a reason, maybe," Katherine had replied to the initial statement. She stood there, bracing herself for confrontation as he spoke. These guys were getting tiresome... And the vampiress was just about ready to throw it all down and try for as much of a slaughter as she possibly could make within the venue's confines, but mention of 'sanctuary' gave her pause for thought.

Sanctuary... Sanctuary...

She had heard of that before and in these types of social circle, it could often mean more than a simple friendly invitation. He was right and she didn't like the thought of unexpected results with firearms, blades or anything else which might come to hand. Or fangs, for that matter.

"Yeah... Right, catch ya' later, Liberace."

Catching hold of a bannister, Katherine leapt over and cleared it, making her way swiftly through the most direct route possible - tables and chairs no problem to navigate. Just about making it to the door when the front entrance slammed open.

"Mornin', ladies and gents... We're lookin' for vampires."
