William

"Oh this is great!"

"Thanks" he said as he sat down with a huge plate for himself. It didn't seem like he would be able to eat it all but it started to chow down on it, though not as a pig. After swallowing down a mouthful he added. "

"I'll have to get you to cook for me more often."

"Well..I do plan on cooking for the team...if they want me to.." he said the last part quietly. Not sure if he was really good or not as he still have doubts about himself. Going back to eating as the room was a bit quiet. He was used to it though as it was normally like this with his Mentor when they could hang out.

As he was eating, he heard more praise for his food. Smiling as he wasn't fully used to so much. He was going to comment until she added that he was cute. Choking down some food, but after drinking some water he felt better. "Ummm t-t-thanks.." He try to quickly change the subject. "Since I been mostly by myself..had to learn to cook..." He said, not sure if that will throw her off or not. His cheeks were redder then a lobster as he looks at Juliet. Should he return the complement? Stutter a bit as he added "A-and your cute too.."

Tomas

Seeing most of his things were done being packed besides the belongings that were too heavy at the moment. He felt like he needed to take a walk. Walking into Jarrah's room as he said "Heading out for a bit. Probably around the Gardens for some fresh air. Catch up if you like to hang out." With that he left.

As he headed towards the Gardens, his mind turn towards his mother's latest letter. She mention his father wanting to visited, or at least provide some money for him while he stays here. Not sure how to act about that as he never even met his own father. He really didn't have any real feelings at all for now.

Tomas knew the reason she lefted his father was because of him. She wanted him to be in charge of his own life, while his Father wanted him to take over the "family business." While he was pissed at first, he seem to calm himself down a bit. At least, to write letters again to his mother.

 

[IFS]

"A-and your cute too.."

"Aww, you're so sweet," she said, looking him in the eyes and continuing to smile sweetly "you can relax though, I'm not going to hurt you."

It was somewhat tempting to use her charm to calm him down again, but he ought to be fine in his own room. Besides using it just made things boring, and it was entertaining having him squirm a little. Still I'm making progress, he might've choked a little but at least he didn't spit it out or anything.

"You don't have much experience with women do you?" she said, more as a statement than a question "that's ok though, I don't mind."

She ate a little more, letting his thoughts settle. No doubt he was going to be very nervous again and a bit of quiet to let him get his thoughts in order might help him calm down. Or it might make him even more nervous, like pressure building in a bottle. Ah well, he's probably not going to say much on his own.

Smiling a bit more mischievously than before she leaned forward giving him a slightly better look at her assets then spoke "I can tell you're thinking about something," she said "care to share?"

 

[Athol]

"Watching ?cause you like what you see, or studying an 'enemy'?"

Giving Sierra the most charming smile he could manage, an effort much hampered by his scarred and eye-patched prize fighter face, he stood up. ?Little of both I guess.? He said finally. ?Knowing how one?s?associates?fight is always an asset, and as for your technique?? He was pretty sure she actually meant her physical attributes, but she wasn?t his type?he preferred red heads. ?It?s most impressive. I know a couple of old swordsmen, and they move like you do. Different moves perhaps, but same fluid lethality in their strikes.?

He couldn?t help but chuckle a bit as Sierra?s sword seemed to ?float? after she sheathed it. ?Nice trick.? He muttered; taking a step forward he stuck out a large callused hand. ?I?d also like to apologise for my actions earlier. Like I said, I have had bad dealings with others of your kind, but it is unfair of me to take it out on you and Juliet. That said, I?m not too thrilled about our ?handler?.?

 

[Lunar Templar]

Sierra took his hand and shook it "If you hadn't called her a ****, I wouldn't have said anything, though we probably did take it to far with the poor kid." She said. "and in answer to your prior question I have met a vampire before. I killed him to." She added before explaining that a vampire had tried seducing and feed on her mother once. It would have been a fatal feeding if someone hadn't driven him off. "So yeah, I can't say my encounter with your kind was the best. Especially since he attacked family."

Sierra tail swung around so the sword was upright by her side. "Also, notta trick, it's my tail. I use an illusion to hide my demony bits from view since I don't have a purely human form, which sucks. Anyway, thanks for the compliment about my technique, only good thing I got from that bastard is the ability to defend my self."

 

[Athol]

Even though he?d offered his hand, Viktor was still surprised when Sierra took it. After she?d finished speaking, he nodded. ?I chose my words poorly, and I apologise for that as well. As for your encounter with my kind, all I can say is, I?m sorry and I?m glad you killed the one responsible. Vampires who prey on innocents simply because they can are vermin to be eradicated.? Leaning back slightly he surveyed Sierra?s appearance. ?I find it odd you use a ?glamour?, as good as it is, instead of a transformation. More complicated I know, but they?re less likely to expose you at an inopportune time.? Viktor held his tongue as Sierra spoke of her father; whomever her sire was, they were not on good terms.

 

[Sithmorack]

"Sounds like a good place to start to me. I'll get some one to come up with a couple suitable boxes for you to try this out. You should still learn something, weapon, or unarmed combat, just to cover all the bases."

Jack simply nodded an affirmative at Seth before he continued.

"You seem like the kind of guy who'd favor knives or daggers, but I'll leave that up to your digression."

Jack did genuinely agree but still felt slightly off put by the ?man.? Jack figured it was probably just in his nature, though his polite and professional manner had at least improved his opinion of the being.

"For now though, you are free to go, I seem to have a Vampire to find."

?Allow me.? Jack replied as he moved to a darker area of the room. The change was less than subtle. It had started with his eyes. It always did for some reason. The colors of his eyes were gone traded with an inky blackness that seemed to ooze out. Then the rest of his body followed. It seemed as if a black mist was coming off of him and seemed to surround his body and when the mist disappeared all that was left was a floating shadow. The whole process took a little less than 10 seconds.

After he had changed, he could easily sense the larger majority of people on compass and off. It felt relieving to be in his natural state. Jack really needed to do this more often. He reached out and was easily able to find Viktor in the weight room. Jack took off towards him and quickly phased through walls to reach the vampire. When he had entered, he was in a rather dark corner of the gym. The reshaping into a human took far more effort and time. It was a minute or two later that he looked back towards the inhabitants shaking hands. He didn?t think the two had sensed him coming in but he couldn?t really tell either. He made his way towards the two and heard them talking about transformation although he couldn?t make out their entire conversation.

?Viktor.? Was the first word that came out of Jack?s mouth as he revealed himself. It probably would have scared most humans since he didn?t make sounds when he walked. Though the two weren?t humans so he?d hope they didn?t get surprised. ?Seth wants to see you next.?

 

[Athol]

"Viktor. Seth wants to see you next."

He twitched slightly when he heard a voice suddenly behind him. No scent AND no sound? Fuckin? nightmare? Looking at Jack, the thought of just how useless most of his ?advantages? were against the man unsettled Viktor, though years of experience let him keep such thoughts from showing. ?Very well then.? He replied. Nodding to both Jack and Sierra, he went and change back into his street clothes before returning to what had been going to be his accommodations.

Stuffing his training gear in to the duffle bag, he popped the seal on the huge hard case. Most of the case was full of boxes and boxes of custom made 3? 12 gauge magnum shells, all carefully strapped in place to avoid shifting during transit; the only part of the case not dedicated to ammunition was a compartment that contained his sawed-off over/under shotgun, and its accompanying under arm holster. Pulling off his jacket, Viktor slid the holster on and secured it in place, before donning the coat once more. That done, he opened two boxes of ammo, one slugs, the other flechettes, loading a mix of the two into the ammo loops under his right arm, before loading two slugs into the gun itself. That done, he tucked the weapon into the holster under his left arm.

All squared away, he returned to where he?d last seen Seth, and found the demon waiting for him. ?And here I was hoping the Iscariot would?ve caught up with you and exorcised your ass by now.? He said by way of a greeting.

 

[DarkRawen]

"Um...well, i am originally from Spain, just outside of Galicia proper, though i stayed in England for a bit, studying more about the world and learning what i could of Alchemy from Dr. Archambault."

Lenah listened to Mirabelle as the other talked about her past. She sounded like she was longing for those days, something that Lenah could understand. Then there was a bit of silence, Lenah didn't want to interrupt what seemed to be thoughts of the past, and instead waited for Mirabelle to break the silence herself.

Still, it sounds like she spent a lot of time inside... that's quite different from me. I wonder if it was wrong of me to ask her to come outside?

Mirabelle didn't seem to mind, though, so Lenah assumed it wasn't an issue.

"Uh, sorry about that. I got caught up in the past. So anyways...what did you usually hunt, back when you were allowed to? Anything large?"

Lenah stretched. "That's fine, it's good to remember the good times fondly," she replied, and brought a hand up to her chin as she thought about the hunts.

"Well, I was left to choose myself, but I never left the forest, so it was never anything bigger than a deer," she started. "But I would hunt what I could, partly for sport, and partly so that I could eat some of it, and leave the rest to predators. My favourite thing to hunt was rabbits, though. They're small enough to be tricky to a hold on, and they react to every little sound. So it was quite the challenge, especially when I chose not to use any traps or my powers. Once, I got one within the first hour, and I let it go because it was too simple. Of course, it didn't get that I was supposed to hunt it, and instead it grew quite fond of me, returning to me. What a silly rabbit,"

She laughed, then her smile faded, and her tone got less happy, and more serious and regretful.

"Of course, it got itself killed by a fairly large bird, eventually. I was a little sad, but, in the end, that's how it works," she said. "Everything dies, and the rabbit got itself killed with its foolishness, following me into areas where it had no business going." With that, she clapped her hands, and smiled again.

"But enough about that! Would you like to sit underneath the grand tree, perhaps? Since you mentioned liking that," she continued, looking at Mirabelle.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Seth


"And here I was hoping the Iscariot would've caught up with you and exorcised your ass by now."

Seth gave Viktor a 'serious look' "Do I look like an eight year old boy to you? Why would that bunch of pedophiles be interested in my 'ass'?" Seth said, his usual smirk returning "Hypocrites aside, it's not like the Yurchenko Clan to stray so far from home, but if they sent some one half way across the world, and one of they're favorite 'problem solvers' to boot, I guess that trinket that was stolen is more important then I gave it credit for."

Seth's demeanor shifted a bit, Viktor'd seem it been for, usually when Seth was doing business with his Elders. "So here's the deal I'll offer you. You share you expertise with those members of the team that I feel need it, in return, I will put an ear to the ground for that trinket your clan lost."


Sierra

Sierra nodded back as Viktor left and turned to Jack "Well that was creepy as hell. By the way ..." she started, stopping only to take a drink off her water bottle. "You met with Seth right? You didn't happen to ask what it is about my powers that's so dangerous to you did you?"

 

[figment of mind]

Mirabelle listened intently to Lenah's story, about the rabbit that followed her and got killed for it. She felt sad for it, but she couldn't help but acknowledge that it was nature's way. Still, it couldn't happen like that all the time, right? Sometimes the rabbit would be able to survive, right? There were such things like mugrations after all, and many animals ended up moving locations and surviving, even with such disadvantages...maybe that rabbit was just unlucky? She'd need more experience to find out but she suspected that it was possible, eventually, for a rabbit, or anything else, to survive in a place where it didn't belong...

"But enough about that! Would you like to sit underneath the grand tree, perhaps? Since you mentioned liking that,"

"Oh, um...yeah, sure.", Mira said, not expecting that question. Still, it was an appealing enough offer, so why turn it down? Of course, it took her a minute to locate the grand tree, this being the first time she actually payed attention to her surroundings since she and Lenah started chatting, as well as this being her first time in the gardens. Once she did notice it, she went and sat down at its base, finding an adequate place between the roots.

"...you know, this is the first time i have actually been to this part of the campus. I usually stick to the Library, as you can guess, so i've rarely had a chance to actually come here..." she said, taking it all in. Of course, she couldn't vouch for hoe it felt or smelled, lacking that capability, but visually it looked peaceful. Almost peaceful enough to make her forget about everything that's happened over the last few days...almost. Still, she didn't want to darken their conversation now, she had already talked about it enough within the past few days.

Focusing back to the topic at hand, Mira asked, "So...how long have you come to this place?"

 

[Athol]

"Do I look like an eight year old boy to you? Why would that bunch of pedophiles be interested in my 'ass'? Hypocrites aside, it's not like the Yurchenko Clan to stray so far from home, but if they sent someone half way across the world, and one of their favorite 'problem solvers' to boot, I guess that trinket that was stolen is more important then I gave it credit for."

Seth maybe slightly less trustworthy than a politician during an election, but he did have a good sense of humor, and Viktor couldn?t help but chuckle. That bit of levity passed, and like Seth, he shifted into ?work mode?.

"So here's the deal I'll offer you. You share you expertise with those members of the team that I feel need it, in return, I will put an ear to the ground for that trinket your clan lost."

?Deal.? He replied, thankful that he wouldn?t need to shot the demon?this time. ?In interest of transparency, and to aid in whatever your searching entails, I?ll tell you exactly what was stolen from us?even though I?m sure at least some of the Elders will want me staked out in the Sahara for what I?m about to say.? Taking a deep breath, he sighed. ?About six months ago a Clan holding was broken into by an unknown group. Several items were stolen, most were recovered, but we believe their theft was simply as a cover for the real target?the reason why I am here. Two centuries ago the Yurchenko received a gift from the Tepes as an acknowledgement as long standing allies, that gift was the sword of Vlad Tepes.? The words were almost painful to say, to admit that such a thing had been stolen was not an easy thing. ?You can imagine what power such an artifact would carry?and why we want it back.?

 

[Outcast107]

William listen to her but doesn't look back at her. For fear of her seeing his massive blush he had on his face. He rarely talk to anyone but even less with a woman. Wondering if things were going well as he continue to eat his meal.

"You don't have much experience with women do you?"

Froze as he swallow hard as he looks up at her. Was he really that easy to read? He wish he wasn't, but he truly had no idea how to handle things like this. Sure if Juliet was a guy he would be able to bond a bit. Though she was a Succubus Demon. Something beyond his comfort zone, which he was trying to change.

"n-no not really..."

"that's ok though, I don't mind."

Wondering what she meant by that as he try to go back to eating, but his mind was racing. What did she see in him? Was it just a easy target? Did she really think he was cute? Was it just because they were going to be on a team? Was it becau-

His thoughts were cut off as he heard her say, "I can tell you're thinking about something, care to share?"

Waiting as he tries to form words within his head, holding his breath as he did so. After a moment, he exhale and said "W-what do you see in me?" He truly wanted to know. He felt like even if she was just picking on him for being a easy target, there had to be a reason for it.

Tomas

Walking out into the garden like area of the school, Tomas felt more relax. The inside of the school felt stuffy and to tight. Not like the open doors and having some fresh air. Feeling more at ease as he walk through the grass. Though as he was enjoying his walk, he could hear a commotion going on. Turning his head as he stop in his tracks as he spies two students picking on one.

Seeming messing with him as they push him back and forth, take his things, and general being dicks towards him. Sighing as he really hated it when things like this happens. The school was just attack not to long ago and with the cultist attack earlier in the week, they should all be supportive of each other but no, bullies will still be bullies.

Walking towards one of the bullies. Taking off his shoes as he toss them aside. Once right behind one, he hook his foot under one of his and grabs his head. Slamming the bully down into the ground face first. Before the Beta bully could get back up, a dragon's foot slam him back down, hard. "Now listen here you fucking simpletons. I will not, shall not tolerate any more of this Alpha male bullshit on this campus. You will show your fellow classmates some fucking respect, or so help me I will tear each of your beta buddies confidence to shreds..." Tomas said, the bully on the ground grunting in pain, while his buddy was too stun to do anything at the moment.

 

[IFS]

"W-what do you see in me?"

Big self esteem issues. Someone manipulable. Someone looking for friends. Of course none of those were something she'd say out loud, well maybe the last one. The kid was really trying to be better, something she found curious, she never knew exactly what to make of mortals who aspired to be better people. Aspiring to a better position she understood, demons were terribly ambitious creatures after all, and aspiring to remove a weakness was similarly understandable, though she felt most preferred to simply hide such things. But aspiring to reform for its own sake was truly strange to her.

"What do I see in you? Well you're sweet and cute," she said "but that's not really why I approached you I suppose, its more like you seem sort of lonely, like you could really use a friend and some fun in your life, and I wanted to help."

She paused to let him take it in, he was already practically glowing red so she didn't want to put too much on him at once. Especially not given how he'd fainted before, though she felt certain she was making good progress.

"I'm not wrong am I?" she said, now looking a bit worried as though she was afraid she might have upset him "I hope my idea of fun doesn't scare you or anything."

 

[Outcast107]

"I-I" He said as he tried to think. She wasn't far off about him being lonely and looking for a friend. He hardly let anyone near him beside his mentor. Trying to change for the better and at least to give his new teammates a chance. Though he didn't know if he could. He stop stuttering as he thought to himself. Seem to be in deep thought as he look down at his plate.

"I'm not wrong am I?"

"N-n-no..not at all..." He said in a sadden tone. "I'm just afraid of..letting someone close..." he said the next words in a near whisper, as if he didn't really say it at all, "of getting hurt again."

"I hope my idea of fun doesn't scare you or anything."

"I have no idea what your sort of fun is..." he said, while he knew of Succubus. He wasn't thinking she wanted him that way. He really never thought that he would be viewed like that in his shelter life. Looking back up at her with a bit of a teary eyes. He must have been on the verge of crying while looking away from her. Though held off of it from the looks of it.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Viktor had the privilege of seeing an extremely rare sight. Seth being legitimately surprised, and Seth hates surprises. "Really ... that is most ... unfortunate ..." Seth said in that calm 'I'm going to murder some one in a slow, horrible manner later', manner, though he quickly reigned in his emotions and pushed his usual demeanor back out. "You can be assured I will find this artifact, for now, I would like you to start with Ms Talon." Seth pulling a few more 'holo-cards' out and setting them on the table one by one, six in total and each replying one of her battles against the assassins, which Seth motioned Viktor to watch.

"As you can see, she is not lacking in the 'skill' department, what concerns me with her is she has never acted in a group before. Even her most recent battle had her operating independently." Seth said, gesturing to the card in question. "While I'm aware you function primarily as an independent as well, I also know you are able to slide seamlessly into team. That is what I want of her, some one who can go from solo to a team and back with out breaking stride." Seth said as the play backs finished "Ideally I'd prefer the whole team be like that, but that will take much longer then this."

 

[IFS]

"I have no idea what your sort of fun is..."

She would have laughed at this if not for how Will looked to be one step off of bursting into tears. For once she wasn't entirely certain how to handle the situation. At least he hasn't actually started crying, I'm really not good with that. Afraid of getting hurt again though? Must have been someone close to him, a lover or sibling perhaps?

She smiled somewhat awkwardly "I like to make friends, this is fun right?" she said "I'm not going to hurt you, at least I'm not going to try to hurt you, so just relax."

She sighed, fuck it, lets try the blunt approach.

"That said I am a succubus, so sex is something I enjoy a great deal, and if you want I can make you feel very good," she said "but if that's not something you're ready for then that's fine, I can enjoy spending time with a friend as well."

 

[Outcast107]

As soon as he heard her offer he was blushing bright red as he stutter badly. His tears were mostly gone at this point as he forgetting about his awful childhood. "B-b-b-b-b-b-but I'm still a virgin! I-i-i I have no idea what to do!" He said as he was talking too fast at this point to be even understood. Looking away from her as he didn't want to be even more embarrassed as her 'assets' were in view.


What should he do? This was the first girl that ask him to have sex. Should he do it? Should he not? Was he ready? PROBABLY NOT! Though what if rejecting her hurt her feelings? She was mostly the only, besides Viktor, to befriended him. He had no idea what to do as he sort of sat there thinking things over. Going quiet as he was zoning out.

 

[IFS]

"B-b-b-b-b-b-but I'm still a virgin! I-i-i I have no idea what to do!"

Well that cleared up the tears at least. She smiled at his embarrassment, it was rather amusing and it had distracted him from his problems. Plus he hadn't passed out! That was certainly a plus. Still him being confused and babbling wasn't quite what she was aiming for.

"Don't worry, you'll figure it out," she said, giggling "we could even start with something a bit slower if you like."

She'd about finished with her plate now and pushed it away, getting up slowly and walking over next to him. She leaned against the table, standing next to him, and placed a hand on his shoulder comfortingly. She could feel him shaking with nervousness, once again tempted to simply charm him into calming down, though again she knew there was no real fun in that.

"its nothing to be so nervous about," she said slowly, not fully able to conceal the glint of hunger in her eyes "just a bit of fun, if you don't want to then I can wait until later."

 

[Outcast107]

While Will was in a sort of BSOD mode, he could still hear her. Not reacting as he was taking everything in at once. At least, until she utter the last sentence. " I can wait until later." That sentence reply in his head a few times. Even if he said no now, it wouldn't matter. It was like a cat playing with her food. She was going to have it sooner or later.

Though which would be best for him? Should he avoid her for now and wait until he felt ready? Or should he at least give in a little bit and see how much fun it really is. Would she go slow? he didn't know, all he knew is that when he look up into her eyes. He saw a hungry deep within them.

"o-o-ok" he said softly, as if he wasn't to sure of himself. "w-we can try it slow..at least.."

 

[Athol]

"Really ... that is most ... unfortunate ..."

He wasn?t an easy person to intimidate, but even Viktor flinched at Seth?s tone. May whatever deity they pray to have mercy on the poor bastard that botched that intel. He thought with a shiver.

"You can be assured I will find this artifact, for now, I would like you to start with Ms Talon. As you can see, she is not lacking in the 'skill' department, what concerns me with her is she has never acted in a group before. Even her most recent battle had her operating independently."

Viktor nodded his appreciation to Seth about finding the sword, before turning his attention to the recordings.

"While I'm aware you function primarily as an independent as well, I also know you are able to slide seamlessly into team. That is what I want of her, someone who can go from solo to a team and back without breaking stride. Ideally I'd prefer the whole team be like that, but that will take much longer than this."

He grimaced a bit at Seth?s ?request?. It?d take him years to get right, and most of his experience had come prior to being ?turned?, but Seth was right; a ?lone wolf? operator could potentially jeopardize the team. ?It?s not going to be easy given the time frame we?ve got, but I will see what I can do.? Great like she?ll REALLY want to listen to ME?aand whose fault is that? ?I have no doubts about her talents.? He added, picking up a card. ?She came into the gym while I was there, and I got to watch her sword work?not a style I?m familiar with, but between what I saw there, and on these, she is good. Well if that?s all, I?ll go inform Miss Talon of the situation.? As Viktor turned away, his coat shifted to shot the cut down shotgun tucked under his arm.
