Prudence and Her Mini-Vamps (Pru's Fam. Only)

[Kennedy]

This is a continuous thread for Pru and her "sparkly mini-vamps" for random encounters.

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

Diamond Dreamfire She had woken by the smell of strong perfume and looked around to see Cliff pass by. She pulled out her phone and sent a text to Pru. "Hey...can I meet up with you?"

Prudence: *Looks at her phone, reads the text, then replies* Yep, where ya wanna meet?

Diamond Dreamfire: *she pondered the question for a moment and then replied.* Somewhere private...I'm confused about something and we don't need nosey ears spinning it to cause trouble.

Prudence: *replied* back room of the saloon? In Coastside? My place. Know where it is?

Diamond Dreamfire: *thinking a moment and smiled* It's across from Silks...right?

Prudence yup. no one is in the back room tonight. buncha pussies*replied with a laughing face.*

Diamond Dreamfire: Awesome!! i will be right over. *She sent the reply and popped out of the transit, feeding as she waited for the train and then made her way to the saloon. Rushing in when she slipped off the train and quickly reached the saloon. Stepping in, she looked around for cliff and when she didn't see him, she made her way to the back room.* Pru?

Prudence *When Pru got the confirmation, the woman went to pick up a few broken bottles, and mop up some blood as best she could. At the sound of her name, the redhead turned around.* Hey, DD. What's up? * she kicked the mop to the side and approached her.*

Diamond Dreamfire: *She smiled at her.* Hey! So...umm... *she walked over to a bench and sat down stradling it.* Are you and Cliff okay?

Prudence *looked at her like she was crazy.* uh, I guess so. I mean its not all peachy. why? * the woman hops on a table and got comfy*

Diamond Dreamfire: Not all peachy?? Are you guys fighting?? *She looked up at her grandsire who had recently adopted her after the mess with CC began. She was concerned but if Cliff was causing problems...she would help protect this woman. Might even attack the man.*

Prudence: Well, I don't know. I mean, I think he sucks sometimes. a lot. he is really emotional sometimes and other times we don't talk or do anything. *shrugged* but it's always been like that, so.*shrugged again.* not the emotional part though. he gets worked up over stupid s***. its kinda crazy.

Diamond Dreamfire: Emotional?? I thought killers didn't have much for emotions. Do you wear perfume?? *she knew the question had an odd timing but she couldn't hold it back and her ability to hold her tongue was going out the window.*

Prudence *She looked at her crazy again.* Do I look like I wear perfume? *she snorted* and most killers aren’t emotional, but you've seen him. getting pissy over little ****. *Shrugged* I mean, I definitely get angry if people act stupid or hurt ya'll, but some **** ain't worth getting worked up over.

Diamond Dreamfire: *She scoffed as her suspicions rose.* That's what i thought... *a low growl escaped her as she thought for a moment and nodded as Pru spoke about Cliff.* True...he is odd...he's like CC. When was the last time you saw him or was with him?

Prudence: uh, well like the last two nights. I've been opening those gates in the sewers and he's, been crashing with us DoD ladies.*scratched her cheek.* But before that a while. talking ain't our strong point.

Diamond Dreamfire: Well communication really is a key to any relationship. *she sighed* Do you think it's possible that he would cheat on you?

Prudence: *she frowned and rubbed at her cheek harder.* Uh, doubt it. I mean, who would cheat on me? *She laughed, thinking how CC-ish that sounded.*

Diamond Dreamfire: *she smirked and laughed at her statement.* I wouldn't but who knows. He smelt of perfume. It was so strong that it woke me up, Pru. When you are in the sewer and all you smell if ick and then suddenly there is a musky yumm to jolt you awake only to see the man that is married to you walk on...It's concerning.

Prudence: oh! yuh, I guess someone spilled some on him or some ****. *She waved a hand in the air* When he was sleeping or something.

Diamond Dreamfire: So you know about this? Or are you guessing?

Prudence: welp, he posted **** on Worthington about it and then Eve said she did it by accident, unless this has nothing to do with her. *shrugged.*

Diamond Dreamfire: I don't know...I just know what I woke up to and came to you about it.

Prudence: it could be that. *thinks hard, so hard her face squinches a little* ya don't think Cliff is the type, do ya?

Diamond Dreamfire: I don't know...I barely know the guy but I am looking out for you. You seem rawr towards him lately. Thought somethings been up.

Prudence: oh.*rubs at her arms now.* Well, I'm kinda mad at him. *shrugged.* Sometimes I think we're just kinda going opposite ways. Like something has changed, just don't know what.

Diamond Dreamfire: How long has this been going on?

Prudence: Uh. *thinks, shrugs and then laughs.* This is stupid. couples have problems all the time. *she hops off the table.* Relationships are work. *She grabbed a towel and wiped down the door to the back room.*

Diamond Dreamfire: *she perked her brow* But are you doing all the work??

Prudence: *sighed* At first. but then I sorta...*shrugged* stopped. I think when I died by the Broussards, Cliff's opinion of me changed.

Diamond Dreamfire: Okay so what's going on now? You said things were different now as if you are going opposite ways. Why?

Prudence: Cliff's gotten lazy and clingy and bitchy and whiney. Cliff I married was not like this. he didn't let **** affect him. Now everything is such a big deal. *She frowned.* maybe those things are big deals and I'm broken.

Diamond Dreamfire: *she perked her brow* Maybe I should pass him a bottle of Midol and the movie 'Steel Magnolis'. Maybe he would feel better.

Prudence: Maybe. I think it's me as much as him though. I know I've changed. He went to learn your path and stuff, I went the other way. I just don't feel anyway about some things that he feels strong about. Some days I don't feel anything about anything.

Diamond Dreamfire: *she sighed and nodded her head* Have you talked about it with him or thought to just leave?

Prudence: I talked about it once before and things seemed to go back to normal, or close to it. *shrugged* I never thought of leaving, no. I just do other things to pass time. Not that I mind, cause killing **** is cool.

Diamond Dreamfire: Killing **** is cool!! I want you to be happy, Pru. Not just biding your time for when he decides to do something. You spend more time with 'Bia that you do him. You seem relaxed with her. I'm not sure if it's because Clif has made a lot of the sisters all 'rawr' against him but things are off.

Prudence: *She crossed her arms and stared* Of course I have! She is the mother. She's important to Daughters. *nodded* And yuh, I like hanging with her, because she is cool. And I am relaxed around her. Isn't everyone? * she looked at her.*

Diamond Dreamfire: *she laughed and nodded her head.* Yes but how you are with her is how you should be with Cliff....At times I wonder if there is something more there than just her being the Mother and being important.

Prudence: uh, DD, I'm married. to a dude. SuperAz is kinda awesome, but she is a chick. I don't think I've even hugged a chick before. *she tossed the dirty towel in the mop bucket.* Her and I work well together. She's like the brains of the show and I'm the one that sees **** gets done on the other side of things.

Diamond Dreamfire: *she perked her brow as she listened to her and smirked. In an instant, she was off the bench and at Pru, wrapping her arms tightly around the woman.* You don't have to be married to a dude. Chicks are just as cool...****...sometimes better because we know how to please the other.

Prudence: *the killer stood there, frozen, in the arms of DD. Her mind began to analyze and process DD as an affectionate person and decided she needed or wanted a hug. So Pru stood there to fill the other woman's need.* At least of a big baddie comes in here, they'll have to get through an extra layer to get me. *Pru looked around the back of the bar, then made a face.* You mean like sex?

Diamond Dreamfire: *She laughed as she listened to Pru's words and refused to let go.* True but you are supposed to wrap your arms around me. *She began to uncontrollably cackle as she looked at Pru's face and heard the words that followed.* Yes!!!

Prudence: *The woman sighed.* This is pointless, DD. *But she raised her arms and put them around her. For a brief time.* There, there. *She pat her back and then dropped her arms.*.do you feel better now? * Pru recoiled backwards and the confirmation.* I wouldn't even know how to have sex with my own husband, a guy and certainly not a chick, DD. * she tried to break out of the arms of the woman.*

Diamond Dreamfire: *she laughed and made a note that she would give Pru hugging lessons later.* Well I suppose that was a start...Christ...teaching you how to hug so you can actually say you hugged some on is like teaching a toddler to potty train. *she paused at the words that followed and perked her brow* Wait...what!!! have you and Cliff not had sex?? That might be where the problem is...

Prudence: *She snorted* We've had sex, DD. Just been a while. *She moved to anther table, grabbed the swiss army knife she saw on it before and picked at her nails.* Sex can't fix everything. neither can throwing a few punches at eachother. that **** is just band-aid solution. *she shrugged again. * I think I just want something more sometimes. don't know what that is, but I want to go on a date. I want the other person interested in my **** without getting jealous or clingy and I don't want to always beat up on him. it's stupid and weakens the both of us to have a dozen or so wounds

Diamond Dreamfire: Then you should go out and find it. You have to have someone that is interested in you or the relationship dies. If you don't have it then you need to go get it.

Prudence: That seems irrational. People just dont do that **** when they're married. Plus, this could be a funk. *She picked at her nails more.* Besides, ya make it sound so easy. You're pretty and smart and sexy and, welp, I'm built a little differently. Men and women flock to ya. Most run from me.

Diamond Dreamfire: OMG!! Pru have you not looked at yourself in the mirror?? You are smoking and lots of people love redheads. It's a thing really. And it is easy....I see it all the time.

Prudence: *she looked at her crazy like again.* I know what you're doing. that whole boosting of confidence thing. That's nice if ya, but I dont care people are scared of me. It's kinda cool. *nods and puts the blade down.* CC said the same thing, kinda. Just don't seem right to walk out on commitments.

Diamond Dreamfire: No...I mean every ******* word of it, Pru. Those that are scared of you are pansies and they ought to be scared of you. *nods lightly* I get what you mean but if you aren't happy and there is no fixing it then you have to do what makes you happy and **** that *** that isn't doing that for you.

Prudence: *The redhead looked around the back room and then returned her gaze to DD. * How do ya know if there is no fixing it though? How do ya know it's just not a rough patch of things and it'll get better soon?

Diamond Dreamfire: I was just running off what you have said so far. Are you guys communicating to try and make it better? *She looked up at her and was a bit concerned.* Communication is everything in a relationship.

Prudence: *she scratched at her cheek* we kinda don't talk a lot. we never were the talking kind, really. I mean I used to talk to him more, but he always seems to get grumpy or something...so I kinda stopped talking to him and just started doing whatever. *she frowned* I know our **** ain't ideal, but I kinda just don't wanna deal with it half the time.

Diamond Dreamfire: But if you don't want to deal with it...isn't that a problem? I'm not trying to meddle...I just want you to be happy. *she let the tip of her shoe trace a few grains in the wood floor as she tried to not make Pru too uncomfortable but was sure that she was failing.*

Prudence: Well, would you want to deal with someone who is angry, clingy and jealous all the time? *looked at her pointedly.* I keep thinking he'll chill out sometime and be the old Cliff again. *she started swinging her legs back and forth under the table she sat on.* I'm happy killing ****, pleased with DoD and with all my sparkly vamps, you included. Maybe people just can't be happy in everything. might make people think they're **** don't stink or something if everything was copa-uh, really nice.

Diamond Dreamfire: I kind of do deal with that, Pru...I have CC. She attacks me because she's jealous. *she looked back up at her.* I get it. *she smiled as Pru said that she was pleased with her.* Thank you. Maybe he will come around but I'm not sure especially if this has been going on for a while.

Prudence: yuh, but CC is an allurist. So I kinda get the crazy emotion things, even if they're kinda...crazy. *She snorted, still swinging her legs* I get what you're saying and sometimes I think on these things, with Cliff. I don't know what I'm waiting around for sometimes, but maybe some things are worth waiting for? If not, then I just wasted some time and we live for like ever, so what's wrong with wasting some time?

Diamond Dreamfire: True but why waste time if you can fix it and go do something that will be worth wild. I don't know...allurist or not...he is emotional and he upsets the sisters often but then again so does Mordie...*shrugs* Maybe you should think if there is something worth sticking around for with you and Cliff. If not then let him know and poof. I have places you can stay at. A whole house actually.

Prudence: *Pru frowned and then rolled her shoulders.* I would stick around if I knew he'd be the old Cliff again. *she stopped swinging her feet* but ain't no way of knowing that, so that's why I guess we're here, talking about this stuff. *she heard what DD was saying, but most of it seemed irrational. To just pick up and leave a large commitment like that.* I don't take up much room. Just a couch. If it was ever needed. *she laughed a little.* I have to think on what you're saying. I mean, it's not like I'm missing something, or someone anyways if we just stay how we are. you know? you probably have hundreds of options, if you were in my shoes. people like me don't. *she got off the table when she saw a bottle in the corner and picked it up.* So things with you and Mordie are alright? *the redhead looked over at her, curious.*

Diamond Dreamfire: Yeah I think that's why we are here talking to. I can tell that you get irritated with him. He hides from you when he thinks you're pissed. and you can have a room to yourself. It's no problem. I would talk to him...tell him that you want the old Cliff back. What's worst that can happen? He gets pissed. Okay...shoot him. *she shrugged lightly.
Diamond Dreamfire: Me and Mordie?? Yeah things are okay. Why do you ask?

Prudence *She listened and then nodded. That seemed logical. To ask for the old him back.* Uh, no reason. I'm just shooting the ****. *she nodded her head* ya asked about me and Cliff, so I'm just asking about you and Mordie.

Diamond Dreamfire: That makes sense. *she smiled and shook her head lightly* Things are great. Chimere is awake but that isn't a problem and everything is worked out. I'm happy.

Prudence: *Pru nodded at the mention of her friend's name. She slept a lot and Pru hadn't seen her in months, but if everything was figured out, then that was good enough for her. * Cool. So long as everyone is happy. *she nodded and threw the bottle in the trash can.* uh, thanks for the talking to and stuff.

Diamond Dreamfire: Yeah, everything is cool. *She got up and cleared a few bottles for her and chuckled.* Everyone is currently happy and it's not a problem. I like talking with you even like spending time with you.

Prudence: *She stopped cleaning and looked at her.* Just, uh, can this stay between us? Not that I think ya have a big mouth or anything, but I kinda don't want Cliff to get all huffy and **** and go on a rampage over something that could be nothing. she pitched a few more bottles away. *

Diamond Dreamfire: *she looked up at her with a few new bottles in her hand that she had just picked up and nodded her head.* Of course. I don't spill secrets or other peoples business so your safe with me. What's up?

Prudence: *she looked at her strangely, then realized how DD must have perceived that. * Nothing, just meant what we all talked about. Can it stay between us? *she grabbed a broom and started sweeping the back room up for another night of mayhem at some point, or so she hoped.* But, uh, what would you do? *she looked to her, as if DD had tons of experience, and for some reason Pru believed she did, because she seemed to be the epitome of what a man or woman would be interested in.*

Diamond Dreamfire: Oh yeah, that's no problem. There is no reason why I should go and blab any of this. Besides it's not my place to say anything. *she tossed away a few bottles and wiped down a couple tables as she thought over Pru's question. She paused and sighed as she looked up at the woman.* If I was in your position...I wouldn't be sticking around but then again...that would be a choice you need to think about and decide for yourself. I have a place to let you crash at if you chose to leave.

Prudence: *Prudence just nodded her head as she kept sweeping the room.* Thanks. For helping me clean up and stuff. *She looked at the woman appreciatively. * You and Mordie talk a lot? About stuff? About anything? *she put the broom aside, crossed her arms as she claimed a wall with her back. *

Diamond Dreamfire: *she looked up at her and nodded with a smile on her face.* You're very welcome and yeah...we talk about everything. Anything that I am thinking or feeling down to how our days went. It's how we start our evening when we get home from training. *She tilted her head as she watched Pru.* Why? What's running through your mind?

Prudence *She waved a hand in the air* Just asking. *She shifted on her combat boots before moving to the other side of the room to pick a table up off the ground.* No reason. *She wiped off her hands on her yellow and black plaid skirt. * Mordie's a good guy, once people get to know him more. *She commented idly.*

Diamond Dreamfire: *She nodded her head as she started cleaning up against.* Alright. *she cleared off the next couple of tables as she heard the words and smiled brightly as she chuckled.* He is a great guy. I wished more could see that but when the sisters get upset with him, I just to not say anything. I don't want them to get upset with me for interrupting their rants.

[Prudence]

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

Prudence: *nodded* Sometimes chicks get like that when they're all around each other. I don't try to do it too much, cause I'm not that kinda person. I don't say a lot, come to think about it. *shrugged* how is the new job with Mortll? That seems bomb *** by the way. I'm gonna come see a show soon.

Diamond Dreamfire: I love my job at Mortll's. I have been working for her since two days after my turning. She's been great. That show though...I haven't had many bites for auditions...I might have to get humans to do it with me. *she flashed a beaming smile* Oh I can't wait!! You'll love it.

Prudence *Pru listened and then blurted something random out.* I'd do it, but I never did that kinda stuff before. But it seems cool and a good way to keep fit and ****. *Nodded approvingly.* Good for training. I mean, if ya were desperately needing the help.

Diamond Dreamfire: *Her eyes looked at her in shock with the sudden admittance.* That would be awesome. I was looking for experienced but even then I would need to train them. Vampires don't break as easy either. IT would be great!!

Prudence: Well, I mean, I kinda have a little experience maybe. I sorta danced. *She scratched her cheek* Well, I did, a while ago, but then I went to something else and liked that better than dancing. It was really thrilling. *Her eyes lit up briefly, but then faded away.* I'll try out and show ya what I've got and help ya out. Even if it's not a permanent thing and you find better people later on.

Diamond Dreamfire: YOU DANCED!!! *She couldn't hold back her excitement.* Wow!! Pru!! That's awesome! You would only be a bit rusty but that is workable. Better than starting completely fresh. Yes, please!! That would be great and it would give us something to bond over.

Prudence: uh, it's a different kinda dancing. *she scratched at her cheek and then shifted on her combat boots again.* I uh, did tightrope walking for a few years and then moved to highwire. Not a lot of dancing with that one. *She shrugged* It's not like what you did, it's probably really lame when ya think about it.

Diamond Dreamfire: Not really. Think about it Pru...you had to know balance to be able to do all of that. That means that you would have that grace for that this will be. You would just have to learn the other stuff but that's an awesome start.

Prudence: You think so? *she stopped scratching at her cheek so she could nod. * Yuh, I guess so. I mean balance is kinda key to everything in a lot of dancing things. Like what you do with CC. Can't be a clumsy *** on the pole and just swing around with no care. *She smiled slowly. *Alright, sign me up for an audition or whatever. what do I gotta do for it?

Diamond Dreamfire: Mmhmm especially since you will be hanging from the ceiling on fabric. This will be great! *she smiled and pulled out her cellphone to make a note for later and then looked back up at Pru.* Do what you are comfortable with. We can go from there.

Prudence: *DD was excited, which meant she was happy. And Pru had been the root of that happiness, in some form or another.* Alright. I'm a little rusty, but give me about a week to work out my routine? I'm not promising anything great, because it's been a while, but I'll get better. *She nodded and pulled out her phone to send a text message to someone to help her get going with her routine.* Sound like a plan? *She looked up at DD and put her phone back in the waist of her skirt.*

Diamond Dreamfire: Absolutely!! I wasn't saying that you would need to audition tomorrow. Take the time that you need and we will go from there but this will be great!! Will even see you in a pretty little outfit. *she bounce as she cleaned up the rest of the tables as she thought about working with Pru outside of DoD. * We all get better in time and I have complete faith in you.

Prudence: *She looked down at her skirt, at the mention of a pretty little outfit* How pretty and how little? I don't wanna look super girlie. I wanna look bad ***! People can still look bad *** dancing. *she nodded*

Diamond Dreamfire: *She chuckled at Pru's question and turned to look at her as she leaned up against one of the tables.* Mortll said that she wants the dancers to look like wood nymphs and fairies to fit the theme of the flower shop.

Prudence: A fairy?! *Pru grumped* Some fairies could be bad ***. Like, fire fairies. *She shrugged, not knowing much about fairies and nymphs.* I'll be that kinda fairy.

Diamond Dreamfire: Well...maybe we can sit down with Mortll and go over costume designs and come up with one that would fit you better. It would be a compromise...

Prudence: Yuh, I could do that. *nodded* I know how to compromise. * she thought about all the compromise she'd been doing, trying not to just shoot people for being stupid in the random threads in Worthington.* What kinda fairy were you gonna be?

Diamond Dreamfire: I haven't really thought about it just yet for myself. I had been focused on trying to get everything together and checking to see who would sign up to have fun. It's unique and I don't think there is anything like this in Harper Rock just yet.

Prudence: I never seen it before. I think it's cool. I wonder if CC would ever come around to the idea if she stopped being jealous all the time. I bet she'd be really awesome at it. *nodded and moved a chair to the table.* I think we cleaned everything up for a new night of mayhem. *She looked around the room with a cackle.* Thanks.

Diamond Dreamfire: I think she would be really awesome too but yeah...the jealousy thing is not good for her. I'm getting annoyed because she won't stop and see that everything really isn't all that bad. *she looked around as Pru talked about the room and nodded.* You're welcome. I'm glad that I can help. It was the least I could do for interrupting your day with my concerns.

Prudence: *she thought back about the initial visit of DD and her concerns.* I'll keep an eye on things. If it becomes a thing, obviously something is up and I'll sure as hell be finding out! *She nodded with resounding certainity.* CC will cme around, she just needs time. Some are slower to adjust than others.

Diamond Dreamfire: Okay great and yeah...I hope so. If CC feels that she has to attack me that fine...whatever but her reasoning doesn't really make sense. At least to me but if it makes her feel better fine. I just don't think the sisters or Mordie would agree with me.

Prudence: I don't agree with that. Attacking people of your blood makes you weak as a collective. She's an adult, she needs to use other tactics to express her feelings on ****. *shook her head. *

Diamond Dreamfire: I get that but CC apparently looks at things differently. I don't know. It's been what...nearly two months with all this...maybe a month and a half...I can't remember anymore but it needs to be done with and she keeps on as if it happened yesterday. I don't understand. You aren't mad anymore...why is she?

Prudence: Cause it happened to her. She died. Some of us look at death differently, I guess. I died once, about a year ago in a war. I wasn't mad. Someone dies in wars, just happened to be me. *she shrugged* not everyone sees things as black and white as me, I guess.

Diamond Dreamfire: I guess your right but I don't know how to help her. I just hate that she's on the outside of the family and thinks that we aren't helping or that we care. *she shook her head as she thought for a moment.* CC definitely doesn't think black and white at all.

Prudence: Like dancing, she needs to find balance. *Pru laughed, bringing the conversation back to something familiar-ish* She put herself on the outside. She's not been the friendliest to everyone. But Im trying to help her, but it's like moving a ******* mountain with her.

Diamond Dreamfire: It is like dancing. Maybe if I pay her then she will stop for a minute and listen. I don't know. But I want her to come back around and see that not everyone is so bad. *nods her head* I know you are and it like moving a mountain. Though you have to be careful how you push or she will blow and then you have to deal with lava given the mountain was really a volcano.

Prudence: *Prudence laughed at that. She had seen the volcanic force of CC* Welp, hopefully no one pushes her too hard. I'm taking baby steps it seems lately. *Prudence sighed.* Tiny, tiny baby steps. *she laughed then* but some progress is better than none, or so they say.

Diamond Dreamfire: I wished baby steps weren't needed though. but...wait... *she perked her brow and tilted her head as she looked at pru.* You're making progress with her?

Prudence: welp, she's sorta talking to me and we're trying this thing called hanging out and getting to know each other. I'm not that interesting, but seems she wants to know more about me. *She made a face* I'm really boring, but if it makes her happy and stop being so angry, then she can hear all about my boring schedule of hunting, hunting and more hunting.

Diamond Dreamfire: No that's perfect!! And you realize that the average person doesn't think that they are interesting but there is always something to learn or know. It's good to know about the people you hang out with and some have some interesting stories tucked away.

Prudence: I think she'll be disappointed. *Prudence snorted* Her life is a million times more interesting just on the daily.*Shrugged again.* Maybe if she came to work every so often, she would see some interesting ****. I've not seen her in weeks! Not that I'm complaining, I guess. Business is still good, but some regulars are asking for her.

Diamond Dreamfire: Then tell her. I know that she liked coming to work here. It would be good for her too because then she could spend time with you and make extra money. Who knows? *she relaxed as she looked around the room. She hadn't been inside the saloon before.* What is this room for? Just for private get togethers?

Prudence: *cackled* You could say that. *A devious look filled her eyes* It's my brawl'n room. Anything goes, except for whining. Fist fights, gun and knife fights, traps. Safe place to get some frustrations out without worrying about causing a lot of unwanted attention, ya know? *She moved to the door and held it open.* General rules are...enter at your own risk and don't ***** at what goes down. You knew what would happen.

Diamond Dreamfire: So is it different than the gauntlet? I do like that people have a place to go fight. Better than being out in the open for everyone to see and then have to possibly deal with those that kill you for a living. Who are they again?

Prudence: *Prudence snorted* I made this place before the gauntlet! *She crossed her arms* Whoever made that place is a punk! And it's way different. Cause you can use anything, unlike the gauntlet. Ever try and lay a trap in there? Or do a ritual? Don't think so. *nodded.* Kill you? Oh, the bounty hunters? That's Tytonidae. I kinda pretend most don't exist, since I don't **** with that system. So we never have a reason to talk or meet up.

Diamond Dreamfire: *she shook her head* I haven't tried to do anything in there. I don't have a ticket. I can only watch when there is stuff going on. ****...I still need to get a debit card. I'm tired of carrying cash. So when people fight here...how does that work? Do they just let off steam and call it good or do they kill each other? *she nodded her head and made a mental note about the bounty hunters and the name. She would research it later.* Sounds like a good and working plan. Seems it's bad to get on the wrong side of them.

Prudence: It's up to the people, really. I don't get involved in it. *She shrugged* only ever had one fight in here, I think. Maybe two. My rules are a little carefree, I guess. *She cackled* some people like knowing that people will get pissy if people are killed in their place, but you enter at your own risk and you could get fucked up at your own risk. Or worse. Everyone signs a waiver before getting a backstage pass. I'm not being held reliable for people being dumbasses and sitting around for days at a time.

Diamond Dreamfire: That's good to know. It's helpful if anyone needs to just duke it out but sad that not many take up the opportunity to do so. If you are giving them an outlet then I don't see why most won't take it. *she thought for a moment and smirked.* OMG!! It just hit me...you have your own 'Fight Club'! You should have meetings or something and just let people beat each other up. That would make for less assholes in this city.

Prudence: *She cackled* that's kinda what I was hoping for but people are kinda becoming soft around the gills. *Pru shrugged* People don't train how they used to. Lots of us beat the crap out of each other to study and traini, but seems Paladins and fadebeasts are what people are working their frustrations out on lately. *She shrugged again.* Maybe you and CC should duke it out in here. Give her a good wallop to the head.

Diamond Dreamfire: Well the Paladins kick my ***. Mordie says that I have a good arm when it comes to my blade but my gun skill suck which I guess is where part of the problem is. *she thought about it for a moment and smirked* That would actually be a good idea but I'm not sure the sisters or Mordie would go for it.

Prudence: I would if it solved any ******* thing. *She grumped* but I doubt it would. A Paladin kicks my *** from time to time. They all get lucky breaks. *The woman nudged her head to the front of the bar.* I gotta get ready to open the place up. My usuals will be pounding on the door soon.
Diamond Dreamfire: I would like to see you fight sometime. *she smiled and then noticed her nudge her head.* Oh ****...I didn't realize what time it was. She quickly moved toward the door.* Don't want them to get angry and trash the place too early. But yeah...I will have to remember this room because I am dragging CC's *** here if she hits me again. It's a genius idea.

Prudence: Don't worry about it. You're always welcomed before, during or after opening hours. *Prudence made a fist and bumped her in the shoulder lightly* See me fight? Come to the gauntlet sometime, or lets go hunting together. *Her blue eyes sparkled at the suggestion.* We could **** some **** up together I bet.

Diamond Dreamfire: *She smirked as Pru lightly punched her shoulder.* Awesome, I will remember that. I have a lot more free time since I'm not at Silks. *she could see the sparkle in Pru's eyes at the thought of watching her at the gauntlet or even hunting with her. She chuckled and nodded her head.* I would be completely down with ******* **** up with you. The beasties wouldn't know what hit them.

Prudence: Sounds like a plan, DD. *She stopped and thought. * Ya need anything before ya head out? Like some ammo or cash? Traps? *She started walking to the front door of the bar again, as she waited for the answer.*

Diamond Dreamfire: *she thought over the question and checked her bag and counted everything out before pulling out her bank book* I have plenty of ammo...I don't seem to run out as quick since I use blades. As for cash...ummm...I am back up to fifty grand. That's okay....right? As for traps...I don't know what I would use them for? *she walked up to the front behind her. The pounding hadn't started but there clearly was a line.*

Prudence: Trap up your houses maybe. I don't do that much anymore. *She shrugged* don't see the point and the shits costly. *Pru thought what fifty grand was like at her short time in the city.* That's alright. *Pru commented before she pushed the door open and waved to a guy in his early forties.* You gonna do more than eat my ******* peanuts all night? *She glared at him as he nodded his head. Her gaze returned to DD.* Alright, let's plan to get together to hunt or something and then in a week I'll come find you to show you what I'm working with. *Pru laughed at the saying before she did a hip sway to the side, bumping DD.*

Diamond Dreamfire: *She thought about traps for the houses and then shook her head. Last thing she needed was to forget where she put them or forget to tell Sean or Mordie where they were and everyone find them the hard way.*Nope, good on traps...especially if they are costly. *Her eyes drifted up to the man that Pru was yelling at and smirked as he quickly confirmed that he would actually be spending money. Stepping aside to let him through, her eyes looked back up to Pru as she went on about their future play day. Nodding her head.* Awesome! I can't wait and maybe you can help me with this guns crap. And I can't wait to see what you are working with. This is going to be great!! *she snickered as Pru bumped her hip and she did it right back.* I'll get out of your hair for a while. Have a good night.

Prudence: Cya later, DD. *She watched the woman leave and waited until she was a good distance away and seemingly safe before Pru kicked the door open wider, so wide, it hit the concrete of the building and threatened to break off its hinges.* Alright you thirsty fucks! Come wet your whistle. *Prudence turned her back to the regular ten or so patrons and headed to the bar to get going with the first round of orders for the night, thinking about who she would have to call in for a favor to polish up on some of her moves before the week was up.*

[Cinnamon Cherrywhip]

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: CC was hunting the hunters that lurked in the sewers and having a lot of fun doing so. She rounded a corner and found herself facing a hulk of a man with muscles on top of muscles. Her head tipped back so she could look up into his face from all of her 5' 4" 's and smirked. "Well, well, well. Aren't you a beast. Well, you know what they say - the bigger they are, the harder they fall!" And with that, she ran at him, leapt up the wall and flew towards him, swinging her sword at his throat and slicing it cleanly. However, she'd left her side open as she fell behind him and felt a blade dig deeply into her, making her stumble on the landing. "********!"

Andrzej Plamen: This whole vampire thing was very new to Andrzej, he was not getting used to it very well at all. Seemed like there were a hell of a lot more powerful beings that he never knew existed. A perfect example of this was this crazy little vixen that had attacked without cause. He defended himself the best he knew with the new toys that a strange man had given him. She got him good in the throat, but he was just as quick with the blade that he usually carried for defence and killing things. "What the hell was that for you little she devil? You’re not one of them hunters or fanatical types are you?"

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She pressed a hand to her side and grumbled. "I swear to god, this ruins my tats and I'll dig you up and kill you again!" However when he asked if she was a hunter she looked up at him properly and squinted in the darkness. She rummaged in a little pouch on her waist and pulled out a lighter, shining it at him and noticing the lack of tribal tats. "Awww gówno. You mean YOU'RE not a hunter?"

Andrzej Plamen: "What? Hell NO! Those bastards are a bunch of dicks! Not to mention them templars! I steer clear as best I can of them. So mistaken identity then?" He wrapped his neck the best he could with the rags that he ripped from his shirt, showing more of his ripped abdomen.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Pieprzyć! Pru will go ape if she hears I attacked a goddamn.... what the hell are you? You're massive!" She looked him over and removed her hand, finding her skin had begun to scab already

Andrzej Plamen: "What am I? Well the same question could be asked of you. You remind me of Prudence. Wait you said Pru, your talking of a red head about yay high..." This rapid healing thing was interesting, normally he would have been laid up in a hospital bed for months. He eyed this new little thing, taking in all angles. Tats galore and she definitely could handle herself.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She eyed him more closely, clicking the lighter off and letting her eyes adjust. "You know what, **** it. Get your *** up this ladder so I can see you better. This gloom isn't good for either of us!" She turned and didn't wait, just jumped with a certain elegance and climbed up the ladder - though couldn't help showing off by not using her legs until she flipped out of the top using all upper body strength. Though she was intrigued to know how the hell someone his size would fit through the manhole cover so stood and watched with curiosity.

Andrzej Plamen: This was different, not usually how things had been going of late. Someone actually talking rather than trying to rip his head off. What the hell this could be interesting, besides she did mention a Pru, wonder if it is the same Prudence. He took his time coming out of the manhole, pretty much squeezing through the opening up to the surface. In the moonlight he looked like an old Greek figure of old, muscles upon muscles, with ripped clothing, scruffy shirt and jeans and combat boots.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She snorted at the sight of him emerging from the manhole. There was such a thing as being 'too' big - and this was it. She made a good show of looking at him with her hands on her bare hips and wearing just a sports bra and a pair of hot pants. And of course, her normal shoes - clear plastic stripper heels that gave her an added 6" of height at least to bring her to 5' 10". She was a little ball of attitude and sass, and she wasn't afraid to let it show. "I'm a vampire - apparently. So come on. What are you?" She poked at his muscles with her sword, wondering if perhaps he'd pop, because no way was he really built like that. "And yeh, sounds like the Pru I'm talking about. Total ***** yeh."

Andrzej Plamen: Andrzej wasn't too fond of being poked in his human life, let alone the undead one. 'Hey stop that, unless you want another gash in your side." Giving her a stern look of disapproval and challenge. 'Vampire huh, yeah me too apparently. Seems like my human muscles stayed with me, but aren't too good against most of this unnatural beings in this city." He scanned her up and down, she reminded him of when he first met Prudence, just as sassy and feisty at the same time. "Yeah I’m a vamp too. Wasn't too sure who was and wasn't around here. Although it’s starting to become pretty plain. Most chicks your size can't usually get near me let alone open up my throat like you did." He may be new to this whole vampire thing, but it didn't scare him. May bruise his ego a little here and there, but he would get better as time went by. Not like he didn't have enough time now.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She smirked at him saying folks couldn't normally get near him and nodded. "Yeh, I'm fast and agile and strong. Comes from the pole work. I just wasn't expecting something of your size to move as fast as you did to get that blade into me! So yeh, one day we should go at it - see who gives who the gash now we both know the score." She smirked and winked at him, amused by it all. "So. How do you know Pru?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Pole work huh, so what dojo you go to. Must be into some serious martial arts for that." At the mention of going at it, he thought of all the times Prudence tried to hit him as well. "Prudence and I go way back, from my Carni life. How do you know here?" For a guy his size he could move fairly quickly, but that came with the Carni territory. Too slow and somebody got seriously hurt or worse.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "She was a carni?" She laughed at that, totally bemused by the uppity woman's past. "She killed me, made me this." She indicated herself, meaning she was her sire. "I don't go to a dojo. I own my own club and have all I need to practice and choreograph there. So what were you and she in the fairground then? Part of the freak show?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Well she wasn't really of the Romani herself. But I used to train her a lot. Not sure how much she wants me to really say. She is after all a lot different now, than when I knew here as a human." So this woman owned her own club, businesswoman it seemed. A stripper no less. Interesting. "Yeah she killed me too. Pretty obvious though huh. She will still always be little red riding hood to me. Doesn't matter how scary she is." He said with a smirk. Just cause she’s dead doesn't change that much, between us. "So what does that make us then, brother and sister I suppose. I'm Andrzej by the way."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She nodded her head. "Guess so. Least she's got better taste with you than she did with her first and third. Girls are/were thick as ****. I killed her oldest. Took her out of the city and killed her, so she'd stay dead." She grinned at that, totally proud of herself for that fact. "Name's CC."

Andrzej Plamen: "What one of her children went crazy and you had to kill her? huh...nice to meet ya CC. SO there's more sisters then?"

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "No. She just annoyed the crap out of me with how stupid she was. I had enough, snapped and disposed of her. But yeh, there's me and you and Ami. But you don't want to get to know her. Seriously. It's not good."

Andrzej Plamen: "I will keep that in mind. So seems that I have a lot to learn around here. Feral vamps suck, hunter soldiers suck, templars suck. Zombies are easy but all over the place in the QZ. There must be a lot of vamps in there too. Cause no sane human would go around killing zombies, let alone know about them. Although all those stories we were told as kids in the Romany were obviously true."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She nodded her head. "Yeh, I can kill them all. No issues here. Maybe if you lose some bulk and actually get muscles you can use, instead of those that just look supposedly pretty - maybe you'd have a better chance. And yeh, those stories and more." She thought of her own past and how different it was, but that another gypsy she knew had heard tales of when she was younger. "So don't worry - I'll protect your fat ***!" She grinned cheekily at him.

Andrzej Plamen: "Oh will ya now stripper!" SO it seemed that it would be one of those relationships. Always playfully having a go at one another. Not much different than with Prudence, he could see why he chose her and himself fin that respect. "Fat ***, hahah, yeah you need to do some sports medicine or something. Your definition of fat and muscle are quite different. Waif!" Looks like he was going to get a lot more cuts and slashes before the night was over with.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "I'll have you know I'm a pole dancing, stripper whore thank you very much! And the best one in this damnable city." She smacked his thigh with the flat of her blade and nodded. "You should come to the club one night - I'll let you have a free dance with one of your choice and drink.... wait, can you drink?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Not sure, I don't see why not. But then again my life has literally turned upside down." He said with another smirk. "I can do that, not like I have too much else to do. The carnival is still in town, so I go there when I can. But my family has pretty much figured out something is up with me. The Romany are apparently up to date with all this supernatural stuff. M eon the other hand, I didn't listen to any of it. Wish I had now."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Well, you know when they move on - you can't go with them? You're stuck here. Also - unless you're like me, you can't eat or drink anything. Though, it's ******* funny when people try! You needing a job too? I can put you to work if you need something to get some cash and stuff? But you'll have to do as I say - no questions. And not be bashful or a prude or anything. Cause.... yeh. You'll see some stuff!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Yeah I guess I do need a job now. Can't really go back to the Carnival now." With that he had a slight look of regret on his face, which soon passed. "Like you? What do you mean? I’m not sure, aren't all vampire the same." A look of slight confusion could be seen on his face. Not like there was a guide book for this sort of thing.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Excellent, come by and I'll get you set up. Though where the crap I'll get you a uniform from..... I've no clue." She grinned and then shook her head at his next comment. "Looks like Pru's told you as much as she told me. Just ******* killed you and left you too it. Stupid *****. No, not everyone is the same. I'm an allurist. So, I can eat and drink still and my powers are different. I can manipulate people's minds, kinda. Make them love me and follow me and do anything I say. I don't know how to tell what someone else is though I'm afraid."

Andrzej Plamen: "Well I must be different then. I can tunnel into the sewers and leap great heights. Just like ******* superman apparently. So I’m something else that is for certain." "Yeah Prudence, she definitely is something that one. She's definitely put on weight since last I have seen her." He said with a grin, he knew if he had said that to her face. He would definitely be missing a limb this time round. Come to think of it, maybe that’s why he was in the predicament that he was currently in. Damn some people need to lighten up.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "HA!" She laughed at his comment about Pru's weight and nodded. "Yeh, she's not toned at all. There are jiggly bits all over her." She poked herself, showing she was completely toned and without any fat on her. "She needs to work harder! And.... if you can do those things. Sounds like you're a Killer. I know that one, cause that's what Pru and her idiot husband are."

Andrzej Plamen: "Who’s her idiot husband? Maybe it's that random guy that just gave me stuff. He gave me a blade, gun and some ammo. Not like I was going to turn it down. Considering the hunters and such down in the sewers." "Yeah maybe we should call her fatty from now on" He laughed at this, he didn't care if Prudence hurt him, not like he was going to die again any time soon. "Yeah you definitely are toned. But got no muscles really to speak of, not like me anyways." With that he did the classic body builder pose showing as many different muscles as possible.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "He's called Cliff. No brains, total roid freak. And I have muscles, they're just nice and sleek and not exploding out of my skin. If I looked like you with all that **** going on - no-one would want to watch me dance. Nor would I be able to work the pole properly as there'd be too many lumps. As for Pru, call her what you like - but she and I aren't on good terms."

Andrzej Plamen: "Oh, whys that. Cause she killed you? I'm not sure how I feel either way right now about her." So the random guy is Cliff, different name for sure. Prudence was married too. That definitely didn't sound like the Prudence he knew. She was more carefree and a wild spirit too hard to tie down. Cliff didn't look like him that he could tell. But then again the whole vampire thing didn't conform to normal standards, hence the unnatural part.

[Andrzej Plamen (DELETED 4668)]

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "No. Cause she interfered in my business that had **** all to do with her, and chose the side of the other person over me. And in doing so - she shot me in the head repeatedly and turned me into a frickin vegetable for a week. So yeh, I don't need people in this shitty life who aren't loyal to me. I've been alone for so long, I'm not about to start making allowances now just cause she thinks she owns me."

Andrzej Plamen: "Yeah not cool. I guess the whole vampire turning thing changed her a lot it seems. That doesn't sound like her at all." Wow Prudence really was a whole lot different from the past. Maybe it had something to do with the new guy, Cliff. This guy would have to be watched. Not like he could do much now about anything, give it time and he could maybe influence things more. "Well you’re about the only person I really know so far. If I can earn your trust we will see what happens. I wouldn’t shoot ya in the head like Pru did." So you could still get totally fucked up, even as a vampire. He needed to watch himself it seemed. His human attitude could get himself into trouble real quick. He wasn't at the top of the human ecosystem anymore.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: Raises an eyebrow at him. "What do you mean it changed her? Anyways, personally - I think that Cliff should be gotten rid of and pushed out. There's this female vampire, Superbia, she's cool beans and Pru obviously loves her and she's such a better match! Only thing is, Pru can't see it. So I think we need to make it happen!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Hahaha, match making. That's one thing I steer clear of. Getting killed and turned into a vampire is more fun compared to that." Setting people up in the love game, was definitely something Andrzej, kept clear of. It only leads to trouble. "As for how it changed Prudence, there was never anyone who could hold her down, let alone get her hitched into one place. When I knew her at least. But then again this turning thing doesn't always keep you completely whole like your previous human self." Superbia, different name, but then again depends on what you were used to. "I can't hold any judgement on this guy as yet, he has been but nice to me thus far. Time will tell I guess."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She snorted at that and shook her head. "Seems as soon as he learnt what I did as a job, he turned his nose up at me. Plus, he can't handle my attitude, too much of a pussy. He thinks he's all big and bad, but he's nothing special in the slightest. Despite how I think she's a disloyal ***** - she could do better than that!"

Andrzej Plamen: "We are all different and do different things. I know better than most. We Romany have been persecuted from the dawn of time." Every profession was a means to an end. Everyone had to make a living somehow, no different to the undead either. "As far as relationships go, we will see what happens. I’m sure I will see the light of day so to speak soon enough in that regard." Prudence disloyal, huh he didn't see that coming. He would have to watch his back with her in that respect.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Exactly. Don't judge someone because of his or her damn profession. And yeh, just watch yourself with Cliff. He might be all creepy pally with you to get on your good side. I don't know. I just know I don't trust him with myself or with her!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Thanks for the advice. I always say actions speak louder than words. That’s how I judge people." He said that with a straight serious face. I don't judge. But then again you can get a better impression of who I am as time goes by. After all we have only just met. Kinda crazy how we met and all."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Kinda poetic. Pru will probably hunt me and kill me if she finds out. Again"

Andrzej Plamen: "Nah, I won't even tell her. Our little secret. Besides what’s a little violence between siblings."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She grinned and nodded her head. "Good monster!" Chuckling softly. "So, you got any questions? I know about jack ****, but it's more than you know!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Nah, but when I do. I'll hit ya up....Literally" With that he poked out his tongue at her. "Monster, yeah aren't we all now. Well in human standards anyways"

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She smirked and shook her head. "There's no way someone the size of you is creeping up on me. Not a chance! The only hitting being done - will be one way. Me to you!" She winked at him by way of return to his tongue. "And you're more of a ******* monster. Look at you all veiny and ****!"

Andrzej Plamen: "We will see. I may be big, but I am nimble. As for the ******* monster part. That took years of body building practice and training. Well that and eating ridiculous amount of food daily." It was kinda surprising that no one had interrupted their chat, by the sewer grate. But then again they were in the QZ.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She grinned wickedly at that as a thought crossed her mind. "You realise, as a killer you can't eat. So it means that you can't keep that up. So.... you're going to turn flabby!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Nah, just means I have to eat human, or other flesh to keep it up." He wondered what she was thinking, that was some wicked grin she had on her face. She probably wanted to slice him again. He instinctly clutched the handle on his scabbard. "Flabby, I’m sure once we are turned the same rules don't apply." Although he thought to himself, there isn't exactly a medical journal on this sort of thing that he knew about at least.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She shook her head. "No, eating flesh will do the same thing and make you sick. You can literally only drink blood. And too much - will make you sick too. So, yeh. You're going to go flabby and alllllllllll that muscle will turn to fat!" She couldn't stop grinning as she pictured the monster melting into a fat blob

Andrzej Plamen: "We will see skimpy one." His face showed a little concern, not what he imagined. All his life work turning to flab. "Just means I will have to work out harder than before. I mean I can nearly lift cars by myself right now as it is." Just blood for the rest of his life, oh well so be it. Life throws you lemons, you suck on them. "All I can say is there better be more perks to this unlife than there has been thus far."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She set her blade away and walked over to him, wrapping her arms around his thigh she just... picked him up, held him aloft and then set him down again - once more winking. "Skimpy one got strength!" She beamed. "As for perks - My powers help me make more money. So that's always good."

Andrzej Plamen: Andrzej didn't really know how to take that. After all she was miniscule compared to him. "Huh, so you have. Perks yeah I guess I will know more as time goes by." At least she put her blade away.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Yeh, good things come in small packages." She nodded with a knowing look on her face. "So, what sort of girl - or guy - you want to dance for you?"

Andrzej Plamen: "As long as it is a chick, I’m not too fussy. Not always the outwards appearance that matters." He looked her up and down, she hit the nail on the head with that comment. Good thing sin small packages indeed. "So what sort of jobs you need done at your workplace, security, I’m guessing."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "I could be a ***** and put you to work as a janitor. After all, if you're going to go flabby on me.... I'm not putting you on the door that's for damn sure." She looked him over critically. "I've got a certain standard to uphold."

Andrzej Plamen: "Flabby..better watch yourself there Sis. I’m not flabby yet. If that even happens." "If Janitor work is what you want, so be it. A jobs a job after all." If she kept talking about him getting flabby, he might get a complex about it.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She could see it was beginning to bug him a bit, and that just made her grin all the more. "As for the girl - surely you've got a preference? After all, this isn't for a relationship. This is just for you to watch and get a jolly from."

Andrzej Plamen: "As long as she is all there, I don't have a preference. Women are beautiful in all their forms. Surprise me." She would be a wicked one he could tell, much like his cousin Anya. A little sigh and sadness came across his face briefly at the thought of her. As he would no longer be able to visit or even see them any more.

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Bit of a soppy sucker eh?" She watched him and saw the change in his face. "What's wrong?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Soppy, meh, depend son what it is. Usually it's the small stupid stuff. Otherwise I don't give a damn." "Nothing wrong, just thinking of my family that I won't be able to see ever again, is all." Definitely would take a little getting used to not being part of the huge family that was the Romany. For all he knew they were the hunters and templars that were running amok, out to kill him and his kind now. "Just a lot going through my undead brain is all. A lot to digest is all. After all I was only alive not too long ago."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Oh? You're still a new boy? When did she kill ya?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Like a couple of days ago. I thought it was pretty obvious, but I guess not."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She shook her head. "Wait until you meet dipshit. You'll see it's not obvious at all."

Andrzej Plamen: "So I'm pretty good for a newborn then huh?" He smirked yet again. “Cliff you mean?"

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "No, Ami. And you're hardly newborn. You're what? 40 something years old?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Yeah, well in terms of being turned was what I meant. Ami, oh the one you said I should steer clear of. Right."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "That's the one. Yeh." Nods her head. "So, what's the plan for the rest of the night?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Not sure, been killing zombies and collecting random stuff off the ground. keys, rings etc...Other than that I go north east of the city on the train to feed on citizens of the city in the parks. Been hiding in the sewers ever since I was turned, that suns a ***** now."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Yeh, we definitely need to get you out more! You can't ******* live in the sewers from now on for ****'s sake."

Andrzej Plamen: "Hahah..yeah well. New to this remember. Not like there is a beginners guide to being a vampire, you know."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Yeh, I know. I've only been about a few months myself. Still learning. But I have a place you can crash if you like? I'll send my slave over to invite you in so you can get in and out freely."

Andrzej Plamen: "Cool thanks, appreciated. I will take you up on the offer. Will be a while before I acquire funds for a place I'm sure."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Yeh, they're like 50K each. Just... don't mind the noises coming from my room. I sometimes bring work there when they don't want to be seen in the club."

Andrzej Plamen: "Hey what you do is your business, I’m not a peeping tom. Damn that is expensive too!"

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "No, I just mean - if there's crying or screaming and stuff - don't come running in to try and 'save' me. I can handle myself and I'm being paid big bucks for what I do. But yeh, Veil Towers, 6th floor, apartment 4."

Andrzej Plamen: "Me run in to save you. Ummm..you just picked me up in one arm. What am I supposed to do if you can't handle it."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She chuckled and shrugged. "I've had bouncers try it before. Obviously, they didn't know what I was, or how I could handle myself. But yeh, they were being gents or some **** like that. Had to sit them down and describe exactly what I do for some clients. One of them quit after that."

Andrzej Plamen: "Hey that’s all up to you. Your business is your business. I’m not the noisy type. I you want something done, I will do it. The whole morality thing is different now, that we are what we are."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She just laughed at him. "Good to know you're not the noisy type! And do you think? I think the morality should be just the same as before. No?"

Andrzej Plamen: "It is a mental thing for sure. Just depends if you can keep to what you were before the change. I guess it depends how the change affects you. How you think shouldn't change. But the whole moral compass can change, compared to human lives. As the whole procreation, life and death is all different now too."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Yeh, you get to pick and choose what you want as a kid. I picked wrong my first time. I'm hoping the second will be better!"

Andrzej Plamen: "I can't complain, life is what it is. This just happens to be one hell of a curve ball is all. It definitely depend son what you make of it for sure."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Yeh well, you've not turned anyone yet. Nor tried to 'fit' into the family. It's a joke!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Turning anyone...yeah that may never happen. Got to get used to this first. Family, you mean there is more than just Prudence, Cliff and Ami?"

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Yeh. MUCH more. Pru's got a sire, who's got a sire, who's got a shitload more kids and kids and kids. There are hundreds of them. And they're pretty much all douches"

Andrzej Plamen: "Oh well that’s just awesome. I'll just keep my distance for a while then. See what transpires."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Yeh, looks like there's a few of them around too. Trans-pires. Least, that's how they look!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Gay vampires, or just whoosie vamps?"

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: "Oh, there's a load of gay vamps around. Just like there's a load of gay people. And the ones in between who like both." She chuckled. "We cater for them all at Silks. But I was talking about trans."

Andrzej Plamen: "Oh right got ya. Makes sense."

Cinnamon Cherrywhip: She looked at the time and frowned, realising she’d been chatting for far too long. “Look, I’ve got to run. I’m late for helping with the setting up and opening of the club.” She looked down at the gash in her stomach and decided she needed to go right to the office to find something she could change into to hide the wound. She grinned at him and then used her powers to vanish from his sight as she ran off at speeds the eyes couldn’t follow.

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

Andrzej Plamen: Yo what up stripper!

CC: She turned around and then looked up and up, and finally up a bit more with a grin. "What's up freakazoid?"

Andrzej Plamen: Ah ya know, not too much. Just increasing the city bill for road works

CC: She looked at him with a confused frown. "You're doing what?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Just one of the powers I gain as a vampire, I can tunnel through concrete into the sewer system. I get sick of finding the sewer entrances sometimes." He said with a stupid grin.

CC: "Ohhh. Gotcha. So, this you back for another stabbing then eh? Just like that Rudy punk!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Rudy punk? Not familiar with that name. Give it your best shot. Although you got me good last time. Took a few days to heal." He rubbed his throat absentmindedly.

CC: She ran her hand over the smooth surface of her side, the tats perfectly aligned. "Yeh, yours too. But see, no scar!" She grinned and leant against the wall, pulling out her phone to bring up CrowNet and then handed it to him to read.

Andrzej Plamen: "Ahh I see, so he is rather ignorant with what he speaks apparently. Common logic if ya ask me. Just like calling me a meat head instead of a strong man from the carnival so to speak." This Rudy guy had some mouth it seemed.

CC: She took her phone back and nodded. "Yeh, he's an 'uncle' of ours. He totally whaled on me about my job on that family board thing. In the raid here earlier - he said something about me standing on street corners, so I took his eye. He then started that, attacked me physically, and missed, so I slashed his ******* arm!" She grinned, totally pleased with herself.

Andrzej Plamen: "Sounds like he should keep his mouth shut until he can back that **** up. Gets what he deserves from the sounds of it."

CC: She beamed wide and nodded. "Exactly. And I have no qualms smacking him until he learns!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Yeah what goes around comes around, whether that be verbal or physical." Seems like Andrzej may be getting hurt more than he thought, if this is how things worked in this city.

CC: "Yus!" She grinned and looked at him, then in a sudden burst of energy she put one foot on a bin, leapt at a lamppost and grabbed it with her hands. She used it like her pole to swing around before letting go and wrapping a leg over his shoulder and then the other over the other. Both feet got tucked into his armpits as she sat on the back of his neck, holding herself there with her bare legs tight to his body. "Wow.... so.... this is what it's like being tall...." She chuckled, ready for anything he might try.

Andrzej Plamen: A look of surprise was clearly visible on Andrzej's face, not like he hadn't seen her move this quickly or nimbly before. Something he would never get used to. "Comfy there CC? Wow your light. So where to now?"

CC: Her hands played on his head, tapping out a rhythm on it while beginning to think 'mine'. "Damn right I'm comfy. Just don't mind if you get pricked by my blade. As for where to.... up to you. You're the legs. I'm the queen being carried." She smirked

Andrzej Plamen: "Aren't we full of ourselves today, queen." With that he sniggered. He just started to walk down the street passing mere mortals along the sidewalks.

CC: She just waved at the people who stared, then reached into the bag that was over her body and pulled out some fliers for her club. Leaning down to one side of him and then to the other, even bending over backwards to get the people walking behind in a show of strength. She wasn't going to pass up this opportunity to market her club!

Andrzej Plamen: Hmm seems like I am a walking billboard today. "Do those things actually work? Isn't there better ways to advertise?" She definitely was a very flexible gal. She would have fit into the carnival very well. Probably another reason Prudence chose her also.

CC: "Oh, word of mouth works too. Probably better than these for the actual club. But...." She thrust one in front of his face to read, wiggling her hips against his head to wrap her feet around his back and anchor herself in place. "These are for dance classes you see?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Oh so side business too. Fair enough." He said nonchalantly. "So you travel like this much? Oh and that Rudy guy needs a punch to the face too."

CC: She smirked and patted his head. "Awww, baby bro getting all defensive and protective?" She chuckled at his comment about punching Rudy, then went back to what he'd said about her business. "Not exactly a side business. It's all part and parcel of the whole. I like cash. I will literally, do anything for cash"

Andrzej Plamen: "Live for the almighty dollar eh? Well to each there own, depends on what one likes to live with and without." He may be new to this vampire family, but he was devotedly loyal to family. Just like when he was still breathing. "Yeah hard to do much without it these days."

CC: "What else is there but yourself and cash? Only two things you can truly rely on in this life or any other."

Andrzej Plamen: "True true. can't really argue with that. Except loyalty and family." He said with a very stern and determined face.

CC: "No." She said, because she relied on no one. They’d all proven they couldn't be relied on or trusted already

Andrzej Plamen: "Well sorry to hear you didn't have anyone to trust in your breathing life. I hope it still isn't the same now." It was sad that some people had been burnt and broken by others that destroyed the trust that was easily given in the first place.

CC: "It's the same then and it's the same now."

Andrzej Plamen: To change the mood, Andrzej grabbed CC and threw her high into the air. Ready to catch her when she came down. "Wow your light."

CC: "holy....." She'd not been ready to be tossed as he grabbed her and dislodged her leg grip on him before she flew into the air. Her instincts and training kicked in however and she flipped and twisted in the air so that she would come down in an easy to catch or land fashion. A number of people stared in disbelief at what had just happened as she was caught and she just grinned, shouting. "Carnival is in town! Come and see the show!" Then she glared at him and whispered. "Look, you've got to be careful. Normal humans can't throw like that! You'll draw attention to us and get us killed. And thanks for the compliment - short height and lots of working out will do that to a girl"

Andrzej Plamen: "It's cool I don't look like a meat head for nothing." He grinned mischievously. "No probs." He grinned. He said in a whispered voice, "Yeah not like I want those Hunter or templar jerks gunning for me anytime soon. I’m sure there are some crazy vamps that would do the same thing too, no doubt." "Oh I didn't tell you when I was in the north side of town, there was some crazy zombies that were wandering around town. They didn't last long though."

CC: "Those fuckers get EVERYWHERE!" She grumbled and then just nestled into his arms as he held her. "And yes. You get a bounty, the vamps will kill you for breaking their stupid secret. Hell, you look at someone wrong - they'll ******* kill you. They've killed me twice and turned me into a vegetable once!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Damn if they killed you, I’m screwed if I do anything wrong." She got killed twice and turned veggie. That does not bode well at all. They had passed a few blocks and were getting closer to the harbour. Some fishing vessels were heading out for the early catch already. "So can we go in water or cross it?"

CC: "Well, some vamps can jump over it. Others can walk on it. I can do neither." She looked at it, shivering a little bit in fear. "But there are bridges to go over or sewers to go under. But I do own a boat"

Andrzej Plamen: "Oh I can do the jumpy thing, it’s kinda surreal. You wanna jump the water?" Being a vampire was pretty cool, he wondered what other cool stuff he would learn as he aged as a vampire. A boat...Hmm what kind?" Boating, last time he'd done that he was in a container on a shipping vessel getting a ride with more of his Romany friends and family.

CC: "Will you definitely get across?" She said, staring at the water and clinging to him. "And it's a boat I need decorated and refitted, for another business venture"

Andrzej Plamen: "Not sure haven’t really done the jumpy thing too much. Maybe another day then. Let's have a look at that boat of yours." He notice the cringe from her, he guessed that water and vamps didn't really mix. If the legends were accurate, vamps couldn't cross running water. Things like that.

CC: She visibly relaxed when he said he wouldn't jump. She wouldn't admit it, but she couldn't swim and was scared of the water. So the thought of his jump failing and them landing in the water - for her to be swept down river again - was not a good one. She pointed towards the docks and grinned. "It's in there"

Andrzej Plamen: He hoisted her back up onto his shoulders, then headed in the direction she pointed in. "I haven't been around pleasure craft in along time. In my life as a meat bag, I didn't really get to do it too much unless I was travelling somewhere. Usually hidden under crates or other such contraband." It was good to get out from the Carnival tent and walk in the moonlight.

CC: She nodded and prodded a muscle as she retook her seat on his shoulders. "Well, pleasure craft would sink with you on them!" She chuckled and bent down, pressing a kiss to his head. "That's free. Next one will cost ya!"

Andrzej Plamen: He chuckled at that comment, there were a few captains of craft that refused to hide him. Until Anya berated them into giving in. He felt the kiss on the bald noggin of his. "Free, why did I deserve that?" Not that there was anything wrong with the kiss. "Cost me you say? hahaha, we will see."

CC: She wasn't going to tell him that he got the kiss because he wasn't going to jump the water anymore - or attempt to. So instead, she just patted his head happily, feeling the possessiveness of her nature reaching out to him and claiming him for hers and only hers. Not Pru's. Not in her head. "Everyone gets one freebie. And we'll see will we? You think you can get more free from me?"

Andrzej Plamen: He knew he would, but then again that was just his cocky nature. "Time will tell won't it! So how much you pay for this water born vehicle?" He was expecting some old fishing boat, 20-30 years of service, smelling of fish and other sea creatures.

CC: "200K" She said, matter of factly as they reached the docks and she tugged his ears to direct him to the double deck cruise liner.

Andrzej Plamen: He had no idea what the prices of boats were, it could be good or bad. I guess he would know soon enough. Being directed by his ears was different, worked though. Not like he was going to argue with a chick that could slice him ear from ear. Especially in her current position. They got up along side the double deck cruiser and took her in all her glory. "So this is it huh?" He squeezed her leg gently.

CC: She nodded her head and smiled. "Yup. This is her. You want a ride?"

Andrzej Plamen: For a second he was wondering whether she meant the boat or something else.. "Sure, how choppy is the water round here?" It would be different to the other boat traverses he had done in the past. Much bigger and looked a lot nicer.

CC: "Oh, hardly at all. It's just a river, not the sea you know." She lifted her feet up and pulled herself up to stand on his shoulders and then jumped onto the deck of the boat, beckoning to him with a smirk. She turned, not waiting to see if he'd join her, and then went to the controls to start her up.

Andrzej Plamen: He made sure no one was around to see what he did next. Then super jumped onto the very top deck from the boat launch. Landing gracefully for such a big guy. He went up to the front of the boat at her side. "So what do you have planned for the boat? It have a name yet by the way?" He took in the scenery from the top of the boat.

CC: She jumped when he suddenly appeared beside her and swatted him hard for such a little person. "Don't do that!" Then grinned and shook her head. "No name yet. But something like 'The Silken Maiden' works I think." She nodded and pointed to a rope he needed to cast off for her. "As for what's planned, I'm going to host booze cruises on it once it's fitted out and pimped up!"

Andrzej Plamen: He laughed at her swatting, nice to that even he could surprise a vamp that had been around longer then he. He went down untied the rope and threw it to the dock. "Ropes away! Lead on Captain!" He joined her back up at the wheel. "Booze cruises huh, humans mainly I gather. Not like many vamps could do that unless it a mixed cruise." Huh makes sense.

CC: She smirked and drove it out through the dock to float down river, then opened a fridge and pulled out an ice cold beer, opening it and slurping it in front of him while making little orgasmic noises of pleasure. All designed to wind him up. "No, vamps and humans. Equal opportunities and all"

Andrzej Plamen: He hadn't had a chick be this blatantly provocative in along time. "Careful you'll spill your beer that way." He couldn't help be turned on a little by her display. "Throw us one over here!"

CC: She laughed and shook her head. "Seriously, it will make you ill if you drink one. Like - projectile vomit ill"

Andrzej Plamen: It’s amazing how quickly he forgot what he had become. "Oh yeah right." He frowned in disappointment. "This is double torture!" He took a seat on one of the comfy seats nearby and looked out over the side.

CC: She sniggered and then wondered. "Wait, double torture? Why double?"

Andrzej Plamen: He realised that he had been caught at what he had just said. "Ummm ....Being a dead vampire and not being able to drink alcohol! " He looked seriously distraught at the thought of not being able to enjoy vodka, let alone a beer any more. He looked bashful at her and timid at the same time. No more alcohol, like they made in the carnival. This was the worst day of his life!

CC: "Yeh, that's one." She nodded, taking another drink and watching him carefully. "What's the other?"

Andrzej Plamen: He looked even more innocent and said "Yeah the dead bit and the not being able to drink!" He looked away trying to hide his expression on his face. "So does the beer taste the same as a vamp, or different?"

CC: She didn't believe him for a second, but she couldn't work out the other thing. However he asked a question and distracted her, nodding. "Heightened senses. So it's EVEN better than before. Not to mention, no calories!" She smirked and drove the boat out to the lake in the East of the city, anchoring it there in the peace of the wilderness. "Oh! There's still that dance I owe you for the stabbing. You want a girl from the club? Or I could do it. There's a pole in the stateroom of the boat I can easily use."

Andrzej Plamen: "I don't see anyone else on this boat, so I guess you'll have to do." He smirked and giggled a little. Pole in the stateroom, damn sounds like she already had the boat pretty much already rigged for the new business venture. He waited for the punch or kick that he was used to getting from most of the women he hung around, it was inevitable, with the majority of his banter.

CC: She just smirked and shook her head, offering him her hand and then waiting.

Andrzej Plamen: He got up and took her hand. "Lead the way my stripper vixen!" With that he smirked yet again and observed her as she lead the way.

CC: He wrapped her fingers around his hand and then put it to the small of her back, the epitome of professionalism and sex as her hips swayed and led him down the stairs. Once there, she let his hand go and then pulled a set into the middle of the room, before the pole. She walked around so he was between her and the chair, and then pushed him down into it. Her body rolled as her hands rested on his knees and then she stalked off into the side room to get ready and sort out the music.

Andrzej Plamen: This was something that he was not really used to or did very often at all. He sat there and enjoyed the music and the display that she had already started to put on the way down to the stateroom. She went off to get ready. He wondered what attire she would be getting changed into. Well it didn't hurt to get a better understanding of a business, than from the owner. He waited patiently in the chair that he had been lead to.

CC: The guitar began to play and as the door opened, her leg appeared first and then the rest of her, now dressed in thin, little black panties, a red and corseted under bust corset and a red and black bra. She walked before him as what sounded like an organ played a chord and slowly walked around the pole with one hand holding it. Her knees bent with her back to him, and she stuck her *** out, swaying it across the pole in one smooth motion, and then back again. She played with the pole, her feet still on the ground as she spun to face away and back to it again, grinning as she caught his eye.

Andrzej Plamen: If he wasn't paying attention before, he sure as hell was now. Even dead, this was one way to start a heart again from the dead. He sat up at attention, drawn by the allure of the music and Cinnamon Cherrywhip's graceful, seductive dance moves. He let out a low growl.

[Andrzej Plamen (DELETED 4668)]

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--

CC: She stepped away from the pole, bemused by the growl, and pointed her *** at a wall before bending over at the waist, hands by her hips. Then she continued to bend until her head was almost on the ground and her hands teased down her own legs before finding themselves flat on the floor. Then in one movement, her hands moved forwards, her weight went onto them and her legs split front to back so she could sit on the ground. She rolled towards him with a seductive sweep of her hair and found her knees. She pushed back so her bum hit ankle, then pressed forwards and brought a leg up and over her head in a scorpion kick. Then once more she was flat on the floor with legs spread as she crawled - hands only - to the pole again.

Andrzej Plamen: "Damn girl! Were you that flexible when you were human?" He was really getting turned on by the display and performance that she was putting on. He was having trouble sitting still in the chair, getting rather antsy.

CC: She smirked a little to herself as he spoke, but like any professional, she wasn't breaking the performance to answer him. She crawled up the pole with her hands and lifted the leg closest to him up so her knee was at hip height, and her ankle was tucked on the other side of the pole. One hand held onto it while her other hand stretched back and lowered her head and upper body down as far as she could. Up she came again and with a wiggle of her hips and torso, she stepped down and spun to the opposite side of the pole to him. She circled it in big, hip swaying movements until she was back where she was started. Grasping the pole in two hands, she once more bent in half, letting her hands slide all the way down until they parted company to lie flat on the floor. Her head and neck pressed to the pole and then her arms lifted to hold it higher. Then ever so slowly, with her head facing him and smiling, she lifted her feet from the ground in the upside down pose.

Andrzej Plamen: He wondered why he had not frequented establishments like the business that she ran, but then again he could have gotten into a lot of trouble back then too. He was sitting eagerly on the edge of his seat enjoying the show immensely. He was definitely enjoying the reward so to speak. He really wished that he could enjoy a good hard cold drink of vodka right now. Now that would really top off the night.

CC: Her hips lifted until her bum rested against the pole, legs apart, Then she brought her legs up together so that she was now lying flat up the pole, supported by her two hands behind her. Her head moved past the pole, hips lowering towards him as her legs parted, but her feet moved backwards so they were over her head and she'd turned the pole into a lower cased b from the side.

Andrzej Plamen: "Double Damn!" If she didn't stop soon, things may lead to other things. But he definitely didn't want her to stop. He could watch her beautiful, sexy form all night long. This was surely going to be trouble for him for sure.

CC: Her body straightened and her legs lifted to the pole up again and then grabbed it with her calves. She let go of the pole with her hands, and slowly sat up in mid air, her arms out behind her as if she were floating in the water. Her hands found the pole by her ankles and she took hold, moving the pole to between her knees and spinning around it slowly as she righted herself to lie right way up along the pole. She slid down and feet hit the ground, walking around the pole again to the beat as her hands undid the under bust corset and tossed it aside to reveal her bare, ripped stomach. Her shoulder leant against the pole and she went down backwards, her body rolling provocatively before standing up and with a high kick, took hold of the pole and used her momentum to spin around, legs split and above her head, with the pole on her shoulder still.

Andrzej Plamen: He started to absent mindedly grip the chair with his hands in a bear like grip. Lucky he was being a gentleman and could sit still. This display was something that he had never truly experienced before and could learn to love on a regular basis.

CC: Her leg lifted and kicked around the pole so that it was held in her knee. The knee pressing one way on it while her shoulder pressed the other way, meant that she could remove her hands and continue to spin with no fear of falling. She took a few rotations and then lifted her hands back to the pole as her body became smaller on itself and the rotations sped up. She let her hold release slightly so her body slid to the floor, looking like she was falling, but before she hit the ground her legs tightened and stopped herself. Hands on the ground, her legs unwound and split to the side, her hips resting on the pole and hands on the floor in an odd handstand that she held for a couple of beats. Pressing down on the ground with her hands, she hopped up and hooked one leg around the pole, a hand coming up to grasp the pole as she spun around and around backwards in a lounging pose. However when she brought her other leg in, she spun in a blur as centrifugal forces did their thing.

Andrzej Plamen: Andrzej never thought a simple metal pole could be used for such art and beauty! It was exquisite! He had never seen the female human/vampire form move at such speed around a pole, let alone anything else for that matter.

CC: Her legs split to the sides again, slowing her down and she let her hands slide down until her bum hit the ground right in front of him. One leg bent over the other and she rolled to lie in front of him and in a quick bend and gyrate, she'd hooked her fingers in the panties and removed them, to reveal a silver thong. She rolled once more and kicked off her heels, getting up and making her way back to the pole while removing the red and black bra - to reveal a matching silver, smaller, bra top. She grinned at him as she caressed the pole in an almost loving fashion, before reaching up as high as she could and placed a foot flat on it's surface, splitting the other leg out behind her.

Andrzej Plamen: Andrzej never drooled, but that was what was happening now. This was ******* fantastic! How had he never experienced this before! It was unfathomable.

CC: She got down again and bent over, hand standing against the pole once more as she had before, and then hooked her foot to it, bending the rest of her body away to create a capital D. She dropped down as the music changed and with a quick circle flat footed the pole and began to spin, kicking her other leg up and over her hands so there was now a foot either side of them. After a couple of revolutions like that, the top foot dropped down, to straddle her hands - all while she continued to spin.

Andrzej Plamen: He had never been to ballet or opera before, but if it was like this. He would be the most eloquent and cultured person there at the front of the line. Especially if it was Cinnamon performing. Because that was what she was doing a fantastic job of right now!

CC: Her left leg stretched down the pole, her right crooked around it - once more creating pressure in opposite directions, so that she could let go with her hands as if she were a figurehead of a ship - still spinning. Her hands once more found the pole, but her crooked leg released and she split her leg up and back over her head. Finally, she brought herself back together and squashed the pole between her stomach and thighs - letting go with everything else - all while still spinning. Then, she released her hold a little as the music crescendoed and dropped to the floor as her finale - once more tightening her hold to stop herself mms from the floor.

Andrzej Plamen: He gulped at the pressure the pole must be taking from her thighs gripping the pole.

CC: She uncurled from the pole and slid herself across the floor until her hands were on his knees and she pulled herself to her own, keeking up at him with a grin. "So.... disappointed there wasn't someone else here for you?" She said in the void the music had left when it stopped.

Andrzej Plamen: Gulp..."Um No No that was just perfect." Wiping some drool from the corners of his mouth. "That was ******* fantastic. I never really appreciated what you did until now, first hand." "Damn girl."

CC: She ran her fingers up and down his thighs and nodded her head before standing up again and perching herself on his lap. "Yes. Everyone thinks it's nothing special and just a dumb girl on a pole, and that anyone can do it. They don't realise the skill and training it takes to do something like you've just seen."

Andrzej Plamen: "No arguments from me, CC. You got me all hot and bothered now." "And that really takes a doing with no heart and blood to pump with any more!" She looked so scrumptious he could eat her right up.

CC: She grinned and gently caressed his cheek, still in work mode. "Well, now you see why someone like Rudy saying what he did pisses me RIGHT off." She said, wriggling against his thigh to get comfortable.

Andrzej Plamen: "Careful, you might get in trouble, you get too comfortable. And yes RUDY, can suck my you know what!" He got a rather pissed off look in his face at the mention of this so called RUDY. He ran his hands through her hair.

CC: She grinned and nuzzled her head to his hand as it played through her hair. "I'm always in trouble. So nothing new there. No fear. You know?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Yeah I know the feeling. Authorities have always been on the Romany’s backs. I’m sure it is no different as a vampire. Just different kinds of meanies." He could get used this sort of thing, could be an interesting working/family relationship for sure.

CC: "Mmm hmm." She all but purred into his ear, teasing a finger across his chest. "So freakazoid. What are your plans for the rest of the night?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Nights pretty open. Why what ya got planned?" He sat there enjoying her company, wondering what else they would get up to tonight.

CC: "I have no plans this evening. Clients are all taken care of and work is all done. So, time for some fun I think. Just at a loose end as to what sort to have! Any ideas?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Haven’t got anything solid, just going with the flow. Up to you otherwise I will just hang here before I go hide in the sewers."

CC: She looked at him, unimpressed. "Sewers again? Why don't you come back and take up that room I offered you?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Oh yeah I forgot. Sorry been busy and forgetful of late. What’s the address again?"

CC: "Veil Towers, 6th floor, apartment 4" She grumped at him, getting up with a yawn, still in her miniscule outfit. "You want to go back now?"

Andrzej Plamen: He picked her up and twirled her around. "Hey no sad face allowed!" holding her by her waist.

CC: She chuckled softly as he picked her up and spun her around. "What do you think you are? A CC dancer?" She laughed gently and pointed upwards. "You've got to take me to the controls so I can drive us back"

Andrzej Plamen: He pulled her into his arms and carried her up to the wheel house. Took his time and carried her tenderly up the stairs and to the wheel. "Hahaha me a dancer, that we will have to see!"

CC: She wriggled out of his arms once they were up there and took to the controls. "Yeh, can hardly see you being graceful...." She laughed and spun the boat around, heading back to the docks.

Andrzej Plamen: "Being a vamp can do funny things, you never know!" With that he did a clumsy pirouette like a ballerina on the deck. "Maybe I'll just watch instead."

CC: She looked at him in concern, then looked at the floor. "Did you slip on some water? What happened there? You ok?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Hahaha..yeah that’s it." Looked rather amused. "Yeah need more grip on your decks, better add that to the upgrades."

CC: She nodded her head and winked at him, backing the boat up into the space in the docks. "You mind tying us off?" She didn't wait for a response and nipped downstairs to tidy up while he secured them in place.

Andrzej Plamen: He leaped down the next level, tied off the boat back at the dock. The climbed back up to the top deck. “You need a hand cleaning up down there?"

CC: She emerged at the stairs and shook her head, having finished. It was after all just a few clothes that needed put away. She still had on the silver thong bikini, having absolutely no shame, as she skipped up the stairs towards him. "Ready then?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Indeed, aren't you afraid of people getting a free view of your outfit?"

CC: She shook her head and grinned. "When you look like me - why not show it off?"

Andrzej Plamen: He climbed out of the boat, like any respectable human. "You want a ride again, skimpy one?" It was hard to deny her logic there.

CC: She nodded and simply ran at him, using his muscles as a ladder to climb up him and then to perch on one shoulder. "Tall isn't a bad thing!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Hahah, since when did I ever say it was?" He stood like the immovable mountain that he was. Kept walking once she was perched on his shoulder, towards Veil Towers. "I suppose I better not do the other power that I gained. Not sure if you like going real fast or not?"

CC: She knew exactly what he meant and grinned. "Catch me if you can!" Was the only warning he got before she used it herself and ran towards Veil like a bullet.

Andrzej Plamen: He chased after her at break neck speed, dodging dogs, cats and humans as they went. He had to keep on her tail. As he had no idea where they were going in the first place. He was still learning the layout of the city, after all he hadn't much use for leaving the Carnival, except as protection on shopping visits.

CC: She burst through the front doors and stopped, looking around to see if she was first or not, grinning as she found that she was indeed. In the extra seconds she had, she struck a pose full of attitude, ready to mock him for coming last.

Andrzej Plamen: He let her get there first, after all, hard to beat someone at a race when you have no idea where you are going. He wasn't too far behind her. He arrived seeing her strike a pose. "Going to gloat now too." At which he stuck out his tongue at her.

CC: She smirked and nodded her head. "******* slowpoke!" She laughed and led him to the lift that was just to the left of the door and pressed the button to wait for it to descend from wherever it was.

Andrzej Plamen: "Yeah yeah ..whatever. Ladies first." With that he smacked her on her behind as she was waiting for the elevator.

CC: She just wiggled her bum at him, stepping in once it arrived - pressing the button to close the doors repeatedly to try and close them before he got in. Grinning mischievously

Andrzej Plamen: He just pulled the doors open and stepped in. "Really now. I could just run up the stairs, but I might freak out all the residents." He said in a laughing manner.

CC: She smirked and shrugged, pushing the button for the right floor. "Worth a try right?"

Andrzej Plamen: "Love you too." AT which he bear hugged her so she couldn’t move.

CC: "OOF!" She said as she was squished, and no amount of wriggling was going to get her out of this one because she was just at the wrong angle completely.

Andrzej Plamen: "What now, smarty pants?" he tried to tickle her at the same time, not real easy when you are pinning someone.

CC: The lift tinged as they got to their floor, but her feet weren't on the ground to take them out and she was stuck - mostly. "Well, there are a few things I could do. But they aren't too nice for you..."

Andrzej Plamen: He released her so she could get out of the elevator, without anyone seeing what they were doing. "After you sexy pants. Lead the way gumby."

CC: "Gumby?" She chuckled, not knowing what it meant and then wandered out of the elevator and all the way around to the other side, opening the door for him. "Welcome home!"

Andrzej Plamen: "Why Thank you CC." He took a bow and entered. "Yeah he's a super flexible kids show character. That claymation stuff, saw it on a TV in one of the trailers at the carnival once."

CC: She followed him in and shut the door behind them. She pointed to the smaller room and smiled. "You can have that one. There's a bed and a wardrobe and a chest of drawers in there. So feel free to fill it with what you need and own." She sat herself on the sofa and laid her head on the back of it, relaxing with a contented purr. "Mmmm. Much better!"

Andrzej Plamen: 'Cool, Thanks." With that he plonked himself on the bed in the spare room and went to sleep. What a night he thought to himself. At least he found one cool vamp so far in his family.

CC: She laughed as he went straight to bed, amused that such a small thing as a dance and a chase had obviously knackered him. He had a long way to go to be any sort of a threat to anyone, but she'd help him and protect him. Much more than Pru ever had her! She'd show him the right way.
