Deanna: Dea was annoyed that she’d taken so long to build her strength up. Sure if she wanted to go around stealing anima it would be easy but she preferred not to. She ;d asked Keara to let her know if and when her path crossed Ric’s and it seemed, that tonight luck was on her side…Not that she had many places to go check for him if she really wanted to track him down. Heading to the catacombs, she swiftly made her way through the tunnels and made sure she approached him while visible. “Hey Ric. You up for trying that experiment?”This RP takes place on Friday 30th May 2014.
Roderic: Someone was talking to me. I looked around, left, right, left and then right again before it registered with me who it was. That female wraith. The one that was on about possessing women for whatever reason. I didn't answer her at first, not until I ripped off the bone of the large monster that roamed these parts. "Sure. Got a target picked out, or we just going to wing it?" I didn't really like the idea of winging something, too many variables that couldn't be controlled, but sometimes you had no choice.
Deanna: “I was kinda hoping you’d have someone in mind. I mean it’s not really gotta be an issue…I don’t think. I mean I could probably do this alone. I just thought that maybe it would help to have someone there in case it like…went wrong or something. My boyfriend. Or ex-boyfriend. Or whatever he is now. He’s kinda opposed to violence and stuff so I’m not sure this is a great idea but you seem like the sort that would enjoy this kinda thing. Was I wrong?” She wasn’t really aware of the fact that she was babbling but she was, it had been a rather stressful night all things considered. All of which just made her more determined to do what she was doing.
Roderic: "Wrong about which part?" I ask her before putting my broadsword away in the sheathe behind my back. "Violence or the experiment?" I was up for either, but I was wondering why or how she seemed to know so much about me.
Deanna: “Both I guess,” she shrugged though it probably didn’t show much. “Never hurts to have someone around to witness what’s going on…clean up if needs be. I’d ask my sister but I’m not sure she’d want me doing this. I mean I told her I might do it, but she doesn’t know I’ve been building my energy for this.”
Roderic: "I wouldn't have told her you might do it. In case something does happen." I shrugged my shoulders, then nod my head. "I've got some ideas on who you can try this one." I say after giving it some thought. "Let's get out of here." I look at where I think she is, then head to the sewers entrance. "Are you sure you don't care who she is? I hang around a rough crowd sometimes." I forwarn her before standing at the train stop.
Deanna: “I don’t much care who it is. I mean it would probably be better if we can get a willing person to play host but I don’t think that matters too much. It’s not like I plan on making the body commit suicide or anything.” She followed after him ready to go invisible again once they reached the surface as she didn’t want to be seen by the local populace.
Roderic: "I don't think anyone is going to want be possessed. Not that I'm going to ask her. Are you?" I look back at where she is and shake my head. She didn't even sure she knew what to do or if she could even do it. "You're not doing this for your ex-boyfriend are you?" I look back at the sewers around us to make sure we're going the right way. "So we'll need to catch the train to Coastside. I've got a few girls in mind."
Deanna: “Oh I’ve got no intention of killing the person… But Keara hates leaving evidence of vampires and stuff… So I have no idea what to do if the person like freaks and stuff. You didn’t seem that keen on me back when you were human if you remember. And well…Kinda I am. I mean I’m not sure what he is to me now. He’s said he won’t date anyone while he’s trying to get over my age but… I dunno…seems odd to me… right?”
Roderic: Yeah. She was going in on this for all the wrong reasons, but who cared? She might not want to kill someone, but the cold hard fact was, I did. And no way was I going to let her possess some woman at a club that I go to and let the woman live. I would be caught that way. I wasn't ready for my experiments to end yet. So she was going to die. Whoever she was. "I don't know. Do I look like I know a lot about boyfriends?" I say before I head over to the train station.
Deanna: “Do you know much about girlfriends?” she asked, keeping the conversation going. She was aware that he probably looked like a lunatic talking to himself now but there weren’t all that many people around.
Roderic: "Do I look like it?" I ask before grabbing one of those crappy freebie newspapers in some plastic newsstand on every few corners and act like I'm reading it. "No. I don't date. There's nothing wrong with that. Just not interested in it." I fold the paper in half as the train appears, grab out some money for the ticket, progress to get the ticket and hop on the train.
Deanna: “But like… if you did date… I mean yeah you probably wouldn’t date a wraith or anything but like…if you could get past that…would you then be freaked out by the fact that wraith was turned when she was like 17?” She kept her voice down and stayed close to Ric so that he’d hear her.
Roderic: "17?" I look around and shake my head. I don't want to hear about this crap, but I definitely wouldn't ever be in that situation. "Yeah. That's jail bait. I'm not going to jail. Ever. Especially not over a piece of ***." I sit back in the plastic seat of the train. "If I ever wind up in jail, it won't be because I couldn't keep my dick out of a kid."
Deanna: “But that’s the point. I’m not a kid. I was turned at 17 and then I was a vampire for 12 years. I was born in frickin’ 1786. I’m older than almost every vampire in this god damned city.” She sighed. “And I’m a wraith… It’s not like anyone’s putting anything in me anytime soon… Get it? Why are people in this era so closed minded?” This was like talking with Robert all over again, only Ric was much more crude in the way he phrased things.
Roderic: "It's the law." I shrug. I'm not going to go in to details about why I don't want to go to jail. Who would want to go to jail? No one who had a lot to lose. Like me. "I don't know or care about what the law was back in 17-whatever. Right now? It's illegal to **** someone that young at my age." I look around in her direction. "Why do you care? Since you're a wraith?"
Deanna: Deanna signed realising this this was going to be pointless and that she was likely to get her heart broken, as apparently all men in this century felt the same way. “So if you met a girl. A vampire. And she’d like been turned when she was 17 and then been a vampire for like a few more years…You wouldn’t like…you know…”
Roderic: "You're talking in hypotheticals. Hypotheticals that are almost non-existent. I don't date, so the chances of meeting a vampire, 17 or older that I want to date is next to none. If she's a vampire, then it's not against the law. So there's that to take in to account. You didn't say that at the beginning. And the chance of ******* her or anyone in any form that would be appealing sexually is also a non-existent variable in this equation you're trying to solve." I get up when the district of Cherrydale comes in to view. "Come on." I make my way to the centre of the train and grab a metal pole, as if I need it to steady my stance.
Deanna: Dea laughed and followed Ric. He was an odd duck to be sure. “Yeah well. It’s even more of a non-point when the 17 year old vampire is now a wraith and therefor incapable of such things. I mean it’s not like he can touch my actual body…Right? And you’re a bit of a weirdo aren’t ya? Most people like sex you know… from what I’ve heard.”
Roderic: "That's because they're ruled by their emotions and the **** that goes on in their brain with the chemicals that get released." I get off the train, then look around. I'm not sure which 'club' I'll pick tonight, but I know it won't be Silks. Strix is still working there. "Clouds your mind and judgement. And there's really only one reason to have sex. To have kids. I can't have them anymore, not that I wanted them anyways. So it's sort of pointless for our kind to have sex in a romantic capability. At least I think so." I finally figure it out and point to the end of the block. "Come on." I point to a large neon sign that read 'Full Moon Saloon.' "That's where we'll find her."
Deanna: “I think it’s more than that. It’s like a comfort thing too. And expression of your feelings. It’s how you physically show someone you care about them.” She followed closely behind him. “And you can create creatures if you have sex as one of our kind. So I guess that should rule it out too. I mean there used to be a law against it in my day.”
Roderic: "Sounds clingy." I say as I head to the club. I never stepped in it, just kept it in the back of my mind and on a list at my apartment. "Rule against having sex? It's not my thing, but I don't think it's anyone's business. I don't care if you have sex or who is having sex. Seems as stupid as having sex." I get out my license for the guy at the door, proving I'm the legal age, get a nod of approval and head in. There are girl's working the stage in all sorts of get-ups. I don't really pay any one of them any attention, in my mind she gets to pick which girl it will be.
Deanna: “You’re kinda cute you know. You’d have no trouble getting a girl if you wanted one. I mean yeah. You might have to tone down the weirdness a bit but you’re intelligent and talented and stuff.” She was half winding him up now since he’d said he wasn’t interested in dating and women in general and yet everything she said was truthful. “So…which woman did you have in mind?”
Roderic: "Why would I want a girl? There are tons here. That I can leave here." I say to her before I take a seat on a cushioned couch, more or less. I look around and then in her direction. "Well, if it works, what kind of person do you want to be in? I'm not sure it will work and if it does, how you can get out of her. So if you're going to be stuck, don't you want to be stuck in someone you'll be happy being stuck in?"
Deanna: “I doubt I’ll get stuck but I guess that’s a good thing to consider. Hmm… So… Erm…” Deanna began looking around at the people around them. “I dunno really. A brunette I guess. Some that isn’t bad looking? You’re still likely to be a better judge on that than me. And just backtracking a bit… You do know some girls like a challenge right… So all your “I don’t like women” talk is bound to lure a woman in someday.”
Roderic: "You think so? Hope they don't whine over missing a few appendages on a consistent basis." I shrug, not really caring. A woman can't really try and touch me if she's missing her arms, right? I look around the club and pin point all the brunettes in the place. There are a few. I narrow it down to those that have decent qualities about them. Toned calves, little arm fat and a decent core. So that left us with five potentials. I point them all out. "The one in the pink g-string, the one dressed like a doll of some kind, the cowgirl on stage, the one in a purple two piece and another in a bright, neon blue number." I say as I point to each one.
Deanna: Dea follows his view as best she can. “Yeah I really think so. And if she’s a vampire…I don’t think she’ll mind a few missing limbs. Foreplay and all that. Just makes you a greater prize. Never understood it myself but some women are into pain.” She knew a little too much of her sister’s love life and so knew this to be true, though she wasn’t about to drop Keara in it by naming her as exhibit A. “I like the one in the neon. She looks cute.”
