"Don't step into the circle. What is this; a seance?"
"In a sense. Although we will be the only dead entities communicating in this ritual; it is a magical formula for conversing between beings. You will have to briefly widen your perspective for 'reasonable doubt' until you come to terms with the myriad of cross-species which now perpetuate inside the supernatural realm."

The blatant noise of footsteps traversing across the aging floor also brought his attention to the perceived intruder and warily he took the several strides needed to place himself a quarter angle aside his in de facto ‘charge’ although does not proceed more than a further half step in front of her. His arm comes up to face the newcomer in a gesture that might at first seem to be mixture between a salute or a wave although there is no greeting in manner behind it.

"If you were Ai'shi or even familiar with any Misfits who once found their homes here; than already you would know how this is a public house whose entrance is barred to none whom do not seek violence under this roof. In deference to Serenity, and abiding by these principles, this is the only reason why I do not eject your insolent personage from here by force.

My friend and I here were just starting a process and if your behavior does not become too abhorrent than you may also may be allowed to stay and witness."

It was a stare down and even with the bristle Katalina felt she wouldn't have looked away. But, Ripper's presence suddenly beside her made her waver and her eyes flit away. The ghostly vampire started to chuckle sounding like the shatter of ice, or maybe it was a set of lungs he had not used in a very long time. "A Master and his Pet? This is a sight. Do tell me dear, what you had to do to become more than a flay." This time a growl did rise from her throat but before Katalina could even move, Ripper made a motion that she didn't recognize. The stranger stopped before he could even shut his mouth. He seemed hung in suspension as Ripper spoke "My friend and I" Yes that little snipet of correction did make her feel better. The word Pet made her want to rip his unbeating heart straight from his chest and force him to choke on it. Just at the thought, her eyes that were already bright blue seemed to shine and glow with an iridescent light, like that of a wild animal. Her fangs lengthened. She wasn't supposed to fight and she could almost imagine Ripper's glare without having to glance his way.

With a small snarl, Katalina slowly tore her mind back to the previous conversation. "I didn't believe in half the **** I read about. But, you're real and I'm here so, the other stuff can be too, right?" It was more of a rhetorical question but she didn't mind if he answered it. Then again, with her eyes still a glow it was hard to believe she'd mind anything.

Had she glanced askance at his expression during that moment he would indeed having been giving her a look although more slyly than the irate one she intimated assuming. (But as this did not happen the moment never came to pass).

Ripper's face had already sobered up by the time she addressed him to grant the full gravity of his response.

"There are, and I will even show you now what is another side of the coin; although sit lightly and do not watch too close for if this does not work right than we will once again have occasion to focus on our new companion."

Upending a stoppered bottled jar across his jot of scribbled lines the white chalk seems to pulse with a light shine of illumination as the liquid splashes upon the textured surface and from within a glowing red ball of mist start to covelance into vaguely human like proportions.

"Des~usu ryt~mox!" the vampire chants and a shrill shriek of anger can be heard piercing through the air with absolute clarity.

"Isk~met, lalu~opet!" the Killer's litany continues and after a few moments of shouting the paroxysms of rage seem to still inside the circle and the being is quiet for several long seconds before occasionally stopping off completely to respond in kind with several guttural enigmatic syllables.

" :jon: :space: :athe: ."

It was against her instincts, but she turned her back to the annoying threat. Her mind was focused on what was behind her. So much so that she almost turned her head. It wasn't a lack of trust even though she really didn't have much of a reason to trust Ripper. Then again, he helped her. Hopefully, it wouldn't hang over her head. Just as she went to look back, a bright light flashed from the circle. It drew her in like a moth to fire as it grew crimson. She took a step closer, curious but it was Ripper's voice booming that made her stop just as something within pierced her oversensitive hearing. She gritted her teeth, nearly slicing her own lip wide open, just to keep from putting a hand over her ears.
As things go still, she slowly moved her head out from its wincing position. "What did you just do?" She asked in a much softer voice than it had been just a few seconds ago.

"There is a longer and more detailed explination to that question; but the last thing I did was to ask them your name...."

"My name?" She had already told him that unless...was he referring to a Soul Name? Katalina had always loved fiction and myths as much as the next little child listening to a bedtime story. To her, it was all rather interesting how a person could leave this realm for another one without doing anything more than moving a finger. Somewhere in that far off place where ghosts were real, wizards wave wands, and vampires did indeed dwell, there was something about a person's true name, a soul name and how it must never be known or spoken by anyone it didn't belong to. It was said to give power to the one who held it and therefore was never to be told to a demon in pure fear that it would send you straight to Hell. Such was the case of the boy in the story. Katalina remembered.

Standing, by her terms, too close to the chalk lines, Katalina eased away before tilting her chin to the side; giving Ripper an expression of question. Wondering if her thoughts were right, and praying to someone who didn't exist that they weren't.

“The Art of a Deal—these buggers can’t seem to resist one.

Again, any further detailed explanation will have need to wait until another time later.”


And with that he moved directly across the room, not so much at a run towards the lunatic as walking with a markedly faster pace than a normal stride should carry him.

Upon reaching his target, he (gently) outstretched both of his hands to (carefully) grab onto both lapels on the other male vampire and (firmly) guided his seat backwards to land upon what was obviously a draped over sofa or couch. A large bundle of tightly bound currency was dislodged from hiding somewhere in the maneuver.

“Oh-ho-ho! And what is this?!”
the tall Killer scooped the bundle of cash up quickly and started in fanning it out in what was already a large spread of highly valued currency.

“No, no, wait...let me guess: you got all this dough from selling some girl scout cookies and then were just over on your way to make donations for a charitable contribution. I’ve got a real nose for these things; how well am I doing so far?” :))

Keeping a ‘friendly’ hand on the interloper’s shoulder, he called once more behind him softly with out turning away his gaze from their guest.

“Katalina....if you could please take a look around for something and bring it over to me that can be tied into knots?”
