(hooorrible titel, might change it ^^''')

Whip
(played in human form mainly, I'll post his human form soon )

Whip snuck out of a side door of a club, the cool air welcoming him into the night. He breath in slowly, happy to be out of the sticky, warm and crowded place. He hated those clubs, but today actually was rather sucessfull. People got a little more...consume happy lately. It was in dire time too. Not that anyone who did not know him really well could have seen it physically, but he was actually kinda hitting rock bottom. Still dapper and in his chick suite, but he was getting thinner (which is creepy and bad, because he already is very skinny), and felt weak and shaky since quite a little time. had been barely eating anything lately to keep his rent and other annoying things paid. yes, even he was not getting around those dutys.

He decidet that it was enough for today, and with the earned money, that he could allow himself something.
Instead of buying himself a good meal however, he of course was sneaking around in search for a bar. Most of these he knew, and most of the people that drank there knew him. He was not feeling like business right now tho, and got on the rather difficult task to find a bar he never visited before. Eventually, he found one that he actually heard of before, and slowly approached it, looking around before entering the bar.

(meh, medium post, I'm not very good at beginnings^^')

[Elektra]

(No worries, though I hope you don't mind my shorter posts here and there, since it takes a short while for me to get into the hang of a new RP.  ^^)






Erica turned her head as she heard the bell to the bar door chime, and she saw an extremely skinny man enter.  Rolling her eyes, she wondered why exactly she kept going over to the oddballs as she got up off of the old bar stool she'd been sitting on.  The last time she'd tried that...  Well, it ended up with her mating and having kits with a scientist who had drugged, captured, and tortured her before they actually got anywhere.  But that was her: the odd, skimpy vampire Kuhna.  

She grabbed a dirty note pad and a pen and put it behind her ear, walking over to the man.  She was currently in her quad form, and chose to stay that way in an attempt to conceal any of her more threatening features, such as the fangs, razor sharp red nails, and fledgling tattoos that she had when in her lab made human form.  "Hey there stick boy.  Care for a drink?" she said in a silky tone that she'd often use to lure customers in.  She smiled a bit, though not enough to allow her fangs to be visible.

[ShadowStitches]

Whip looked at the Kuhna girl, sat himself at the bar counter and smirked at her. A little voice in his head was wondering how she could handle a bar in Kuhna form, and guessed that she had a human form that she simply wouldnt use right now, or that he would see something quite spectacular. His smile grew wider at her nickname for him, revealing his perfectly white, just a little more pointy then normal teeth. That and his strinking lime green eyes where the only hint that he had more forms then just human, al tho he barely used his slydra form.
"Thats what I'm here for, my dear" he said, amusement swinging in his voice. "Martini, dry please"
His piercing eyes swayed through the bar, before looking at her again. "Is it always so nice and calm here?" he asked, curiosity in his voice "Because if so, I could get used to it...Its not easy to find a place where you can enjoy a drink without being...bothered"

(whoa, sorry, a little short too...I'm very tired tho, great excuse XDD)

[Elektra]

Without even bothering to turn around, she started the machine with one tail while grabbing a medium-sized glass with the other tail.  "Nah, it's almost always crowded beyond belief.  I guess that everyone's just been sticking to their homes, with all the changes that have been going on here lately."  Sighing, she pulled the cup away, and stirred it quickly, not used ot making such drinks, though she didn't have a reputation as the best of the best for nothing.  Setting it on the counter, she waited for the man to pick it up.

[ShadowStitches]

Whip watched her interested and amused. His eyes however got focused and interested when she talked about changes. He was not entirely sure if she ment in the bar specifically, or the whole city. He had not noticed anything if that was so, basically because the people he was with barely gave a damn if anything was changing, as long as they got their dope...but he himself liked to stay informed. He lifted the drink and took a sip from it."Thats very good, thanks" he said calmly, but his mind was racing. This somewhat bugged him. If something really was changing, no matter how, he usually was the first to notice.
the stress and worry however got him blind to anything around him that was not envolving drug or firearm dealing. //Calm down, most likely she was referring to the bar, dont overreact// he leaned forward slightly, still smiling. " I'm sure they'll come back soon. But what do you mean with changes?" He asked casually, not too curiosly.

[Elektra]

"Dunno," she replied, shrugging her shoulders, "I mean, it just seems like things have been happening all over, both here and in Lambastia, people staying at home more, crime breaking out, just things being tipped out of balance.  It's probably just me though."  She looked at the small glass, and back up at him, wondering if he wanted another, but at the same time, she didn't really want to make him one.  Something about this man was off.  Sure, there were always people coming in, dealers, murderers, heck, she lived with a gang of criminals herself, but the man sitting in front of her, he definitely seemed off.  Of course, that got her wondering what exactly he would do if he knew what she was.  Deciding it might be fun to see his reaction, she smiled, her fangs protruding, and said, "So you wanna get a refill?"



(Sorry for the late reply, been struggling with RL, and I was trying to observe lent, but that is really hard...  xD
'Least it's over now.)

[ShadowStitches]

(good to know! have a little stress here as well, but I hope I can post more or less regulary the next few weeks^^'')
He relaxed a little again, tho still interested and focused on her. "Ah, I dont think its just you" He looked at the empty glass thoughtfully. "I personally did not notice it yet, a little too busy I guess. But there are always
those times where the mood ...just tenses up a little." He smirked slightly "people seem to get bored and thus more aggressive. dunno. But that will change as fast as it comes." he paused "but who am I telling that. I'm sure you know that too.." When she smiled at him and offered him the refill, he instantly noticed her teeth. something inside of him jumped on alerted mode, telling him that there was something just not right with her,
but at the same time, got imensely curious. This could get inetersting.."Sure thing"

(ugh, sorry, my muse kinda ran away...XD but I'm shure she'll be back soon^^)

[Elektra]

Erica was't sure whether to be shocked or a bit happy that this man, whoever he was, didn't seem to be scared of her, or if he was, he sure wasn't showing it.  Whipping around, she grabbed the glass, set it under the machine, set it on auto fill, dashed over to the other end of the bar to grab a straw, and dashed back, right as it was about to overflow, and stuck the straw in right as she set it down.  And all of this was down in under a minute.  Let's see if this get's any kind of reaction. she thought to herself mischievously.

[ShadowStitches]

this time he was obviously surprised, even leaning slightly back instinctively and getting into danger of falling off the stool. "Wow!" he said, trying to not let his voice sound too shocked "I think you just broke the world record in fastest bartending ever" He still tried to hide how nervous he now got. whatever she was, it was not...natural. ad he did not like anything he could not assess. The fangs, the swiftness...he was getting a vague picture, and it was not very pleasant"Now... I hope I'm not too curious if I ask, but who or should I better say whatexactly are you that you have such outstanding... skills?" His left hand was resting on the table, while his right was under it, ready to grab his gun which he hid in one inner pocket of his jacket. better be ready if things got sketchy here...tho if he was right with his assumption, his gun wouldnt help him much if she indeed got dangerous..

[Elektra]

"Don't bother with the gun, I can sense the metal bullet in it." Erica said icily.  Though she sounded threatening, she simply intended to toy with the man.  If it got ugly, then she might actually have to use some force, but hopefully it wouldn't.  "Yeah, I'm a vampire, though I must say it took two hints to help you figure it out; usually it just takes a flash of the fangs to do it.  Though I must commend you, your certainly not the average man, since most run off screaming like little girls."  Chuckling a bit, she slid the cup all the way toward him.  "I didn't do anything to it, really."  Of course she had laced it a bit with drugs, but it certainly wasn't a high enough dosage to knock him out unless he was one of those sensitive little men who couldn't take but a drop of the stuff without doubling over.

[ShadowStitches]

he bit his tounge in slight anger, and put his hand into sight of her again. He was not looking for a fight here,
specially not one that would be hard to impossible to win. He smirked slightly.
"mh...just flashing some fangs dont really convince me of anything..." he tilted his head slightly
"you could have been one of those wierd wannabe goth-kid whatever fake vampires, after all...there are quite a lot of those running around." He still was tense, but hid it quite well. "Well, if you indeed wanted to uh...drink or eat or...whatever you call it-me, then you would not have given me hints, would you. so I dont have to be afaraid or you do exactly that to try to lure me into a false sense of confidence, because I would think you wont attack me. mind games are so much fun" He catched the sliding cup, his grin growing even wider. "and after that comment I'm 99% shure that you did put something into my drink" He took a very small sip from it none the less, tasted it and gulped it down, looking at her slightly challenging. "...cant really taste anything, so I guess either a sort of opiat or a roofie?" He was bluffing, and he was playing it high. he actually was a little scared of her, but learned that, most of the time, showing fear was the worst thing one could do. And there was no way he could find out what in that drink was by just taking a sip. he just hoped that he catched her by surprise and now  would somehow give it away. otherwise he would drink it very slowly, if at all.

[Elektra]

Smiling, she noticed that if he didn't annoy her and lived through this encounter, she'd definitely be able to make friends with him.  "No, but roofies?  Hehe, not even close.  A little touch of my own, litterally.  It's venom that is ejected from my fangs so that when I bite someone, it numbs the area around it while sending out pleasurable sensations."  She thought back to what he'd said about those fake vampire kids, and figured that it might be a good story to tell.  "Yeah, there used to be a bunch of those fakers, they'd come in here a lot.  Of course, being an actual vampire, it's kinda hard not to take some offense to that, so I spooked them.  They tend to stay away from this bar, especially with those stupid plastic fangs stuck in their faces."  Smirking, she waited for his reaction while surveying the bar.  It was far from crowded because it was nearing closing time, but seeing as she could keep it open as long as she wanted, that didn't really worry her.

[ShadowStitches]

He looked at her, relaxing a little, even if it was just minimally. "now that does not sound half  as bad as I expected it to be" he said with a playfull wink, taking an other, small and carefull sip from the drink. He couldnt help but wonder if anyone else ever really used this poison as a sort of drug...aside from vampires of course. That was just his 'business side' thinking. He chuckled at her story "Oh, I'd give a lot to have seen that"he smirked. "I just can imagine how they ran...this whole...city is just too full of annoying people" the last part soundet truly frustrated. Just then, the door opened, and a group of 3 very shady looking men came strolling in.Whip looked over his shoulder to examine them, but turned back to Erica without too much interest in the men. could have been paying costumers after all, but he did not recognize one of them at all. thus they where rather uninteresting for now. "say, can I ask you your name?" Whip asked, just being curious.


(hope its okay that way?^^)

[Elektra]

"No problem, I'm Erica.  Been a vampire for almost seven years now, since I wasn't actually born, but turned.  Trust me, before you go and get yourself turned, make sure it's what you really want, cause it hurts like hell..." she said, shuddering at the horrible memory.  She turned her head when she heard the door open, and suddenly a shill went down her spine.  There was a knot beginning to form in her stomach, and she could've sworn that there was sweat on her brow.  Something was worrying her about the men, but for all she could remember, they'd never been to the bar before.  And they certainly weren't good enough to have been one of her temporary consorts, so why did she feel so uneasy all of the sudden?  Shaking her head, she turned back to Whip, and asked, "Do you know those guys who just came in?"

[ShadowStitches]

He listened to her carefully. He never really read or heard that much about vampires, but that did not mean he was not interested when he sat in front of one. Besides, she seemed rather nice and of course, fascinating. He relaxed even more, tho still not letting his guard down completely "Ah, I already thought that this whole turning couldn't really be that romantic after all" He said smirking "I'm Whip by the way...everyone calls me that" he shrugged, obviously not into explaining the wierd nickname. He recognized how nervous she got, and furrowed his forehead slightly. "Hey.Is everything okay?" He asked lowly. At her question, he turned towards the men, who sat further away from them, discretely, and tried to recognize them. "hm...no, never seen them. They do seem to belong to one gang tho, they wear the same symbol on their jacket..." He had turned back at Erica, and thus only heard heavy footsteps coming towards them, implying that one of the guys stood up and walked up to them.
"Hey sweety" the man purred, his voice a deep, threatening growl. "beer for me and the boys please, if youd be so kind..." Whip did not like the way he was looking at her. there was something...very unconfortable coming from this man. And he somehow looked like he was lingering...

(hope thats okay^^')
