Back to the Same Old Routine (Mortll)

[Kennedy]

The little squirrel woke up from a sleep that seemed like forever. She wasn't tired but she didn't really feel like she had the energy either but then it was when she looked around and seen the dust before the deep rumble moved through her. Hunger, that was a feeling that she hadn't felt in a while. Kennedy realized that she had been asleep long enough that her relic stopped making sure that her blood levels remained content. Frowning as she crawled out of bed to look for blood packs that she was sure Mordie has stored somewhere. Finding the blood packs, she sat on the couch, feeding from each one until she was full and a smile slipped upon her lips as she leaned back and took the moment to enjoy the feeling. After a few minutes, she looked at the clock and noticed that the sun had officially set for the day. Jumping up to get dressed for the evening, she wanted to go on an adventure. Even though she had daywalker abilities, she preferred to go out at night as there was a calming nature given her past profession when she was human.

Once she was dressed in a pair of distressed jeans and a Poison rock band tee, she went to check her bank balance because she wanted to do some shopping only to frown. There was a nice buffer in her savings but realized that she had been fired from her job. How long had she been asleep? A frown slipped upon her lips as reality set in and remembered that she had woken up alone. What the hell was going on? A new phone was first on her list so that she could contact those everyone she was associated with. Mordie hadn't been home it seemed and made her wonder if he was sleeping somewhere or at least Kennedy hoped because if he was stuck in the Shadow Realm, she would have to go on a spree for anyone that would have hurt him. Maybe he was safe at that treehouse on the other side with that group he had joined. Many thoughts had moved through her mind in a split second but she didn't want her heart to feel heavy so she hoped for the best. She needed to see Mortll about getting her job back, if that was even possible.

Grabbing her keys and wallet as she rushed out of the apartment. She would need to stop by her Swandale home later for trap supplies but that was towards the bottom of her list. Slipping into cell phone store, she started a new contract, grabbed the most expensive iPhone that had all the bells and whistles because why not and quickly sent off a text to Mortll while she waited for the train to take her to Mortll's shop over in Thornside Park. 'Hey Mortll, it's Kennedy, new phone! I was wondering if I could stop by and speak with you.' The energy in the air was strange but she wanted to keep it short in text. Slipping her phone in her back pocket as the train pulled up to take her across town. It was a short trip though it felt like an eternity as she felt that many eyes were on her but she ignored the stares as she pulled her dark locks up into a pony tail. Quickly she stepped of the train as it arrived at the station and made her way the short distance to the building just south east of West Tower. Kennedy opened the door, listening to the bell that alerted the staff of a new arrival and waited to be greeted.

[Mortll]

The large pink roundness of the bubble grew larger and larger until Pop! it exploded and deflated against Janes mouth and lips. She quickly pulled the gum back into her mouth and continued to chew absentmindedly The blonde was not in such a bubbly mood today despite the ones she had been blowing with the gum as and leafed through the latest fashion magazine. Mortll had been riding her *** lately about dropped sales ... What could you expect with zombies frigging roaming the streets and soldiers stopping and searching everyone ... Thats when the Vampire had told her to get off her *** and find something that would bring people to the door despite the problems It had to be worth their while to go out in such conditions they wanted a escape they wanted to forget their problems for awhile they wanted something fantastic .... Jane hated it when Mortll got this way the woman was down right frightening on a normal day and where in the Hell was Jane supposed to find something like that ...

Suddenly the bell rang drawing her attention away from the magazine and her thoughts to the door ... A really pretty lady stood there " Hello Welcome to Jardin De Fleurs... What can we do for you today Flowers or one of our many hosting services or just a Tour through our wonderful Gardens ?"

[Kennedy]

Kennedy took a few steps into the shop, looking around at all of the flowers. Nothing really seemed to have changed which made her smile because everything was changing around her and the feeling was rather unpleasant. The flowers smelt amazing and she made a note to take some back to the apartment to attempt to give it some life that was seemingly missing. She was instantly pulled from her thoughts the moment a voice called out to her. Turning her head towards the voice, she looked at the woman that was behind the counter.

She took a quick smell of a colorful bunch of flowers that were next to her before she made her way to the counter. Grazing her fingers over the top of the flowers as she walked through the store, letting the soft silk petals massage her fingers to help her relax with the changes that was in her face. Reaching the counter, she looked down at the blonde with the magazine in front of her. "I'm sorry to disturb you but I am actually looking for Mortll. Is she in this evening? My name is Kennedy Cole."

Her eyes watched the woman in front of her and it was clear she was a human but she hoped that she wasn't as ditsy as she seemed. Getting in touch with those that she known before whatever happened to her happened was important and if this woman remained as ditsy and not be helpful, she would kill her. Hell this wouldn't be the first human she would threaten to kill because her grandsire, Pru, had a human that annoyed them all that had daily threats of death. The thought made her smirk and laugh inwardly but she would at least warn Mortll if she was going to kill the girl. She was an allurist but damn her beloved rubbed off on her more than she thought. "I'll be right over here looking around, thank you." Stepping off to the side, she went to look at a variety of vases that she could take home to fill the apartment with flowers. If Mordechai was to return, he probably wouldn't recognize the place.

[Mortll]

Janes eye started to twitch slightly as she tried to keep her composure .... Its one of them she thought ... they usually leave me alone now days ... but this one is asking for Mortll they never ask for Mortll .... Unless its bad and the Mortll type of bad usually has me transporting dead bodies at 3am in the morning getting chased by god knows what ... Jane stammered "Uhhhh I'll go get her right away..." She backed away from the woman almost tripping over her own two feet not wanting to turn her back to the vampire .
She almost ran to the office and did trip over her own two feet as she ran through the door "Mortll... Umphhhh the wind was knocked out of her as she face planted into her Bosses office ...she quickly scrambled to get up and just pointed towards the shop ... " There's a uhhh a... Visitor for you a Kenlie or something ...." sh faltered and just pointed as the woman at the desk stated at her with a scowl on her face .


The fact that her assistant had come barging through her office door Yelling her name and face planting on her office floor did not surprise her ... The name that came from the womans mouth however did ... " We will talk about this later Jane ... " Her tone stern . Mortll pulled the gun from its holster checked the magazine replacing it satisfied it was full and pulled on her coat that had her sword concealed inside ... She was on fantastic terms with most of Docs spawn .... but her and Kenlie had never been particularly close and Docs spawn tended to blame and hold grudges for a long time ... Mortll had taken one to many trips to the shadow realm due to her former lovers family ... she was not about to take another a abundance of caution was in order .

She made her way out to the show floor of the garden and looked around for the other woman When she Turned around with a bouquet of flowers . Seeing the other woman's face brought a smile to Mortlls "Kennedy ... Is that you ? Oh man its good to see you back !"

[Kennedy]

Kennedy couldn't help but laugh as she heard the woman stumble to the back room which alerted her that Mortll was either in the store and she hadn't received her message yet or the woman was just that scared that she refused to be in the same room with her. Shaking her head as she heard what sounded like someone falling as she walked around the shop. There were a few bunches that drew her attention to them and she had to pick them up. They were definitely going home with her this evening. Finding the perfect vase for them, she placed them down inside and picked the vase up and held it in her arms as she continued to look around.

After a few moments, Kennedy perked her brow as she felt tension rise in the room. Shifting the vase in her arms as she carefully and slowly went to reach for her gun and frowned. How in the **** did she forget her gun at home. Mordie would be disappointed in her if he knew. Well she would use her powers if she needed to but decided to take it for what it was worth. Slowly she turned around to look her attacker in the face only to pause and smile as Mortll was standing there. Thank God she wasn't going to get shot tonight!

She stepped forward and placed the vase on the counter so that she could move in and hug the woman. "Hey Mortll..." Stopping she perked her brow and frowned. "Back? How long have I been asleep? I don't know what happened but I woke in bed this evening." She began to panic and wondered if the reason she couldn't find Mordie was that her partner might have thought her dead and moved on. She was going to need more flowers and a distraction she felt after this meeting. Kennedy planned to get her gun after this and hunt up some beasties to blow off some steam.

[Mortll]

Mortll relaxed a little as the other woman hugged her ... Well it wasn't going to be a battle to the death or some irate screaming about how it was all her fault Doc wasn't around anymore ... That he had gone ... This was Kennedy Dancer and acrobat extraordinaire ... That and and Pole dancer . In Mortll's eyes it wasn't always the titles that others gave us that mattered it was the ones we gave ourselves . " I haven't seen you around in a good long time darlin I had just assumed you had quit me and the weekend shows you were putting on here ... Too many people are moving on since the masquerade fell ... so many friends ... too many . I don't know where most of them have gone to and i haven't heard a peep from Your sire and others in quite awhile ... I'm very glad to see you ." she gestured to one of the tables and offered Kennedy a seat ... "Would you like something to drink ... Need blood ? Healed ? anything at all I can help you with ?" Mortll was always direct ... blunt ... didn't relish lengthy or beating around the bush ways of talking ... she was known for getting straight to business .

[Kennedy]

Smiling lightly as she shook her head as Mortll stated that she thought she had just quit her job and the performances that she loved to put on for the community. It was a suggestion she made to Mortll to drive more business when she was a shop girl herself. Taking a look around at the store, there was no customers other than herself and she hadn't intended on shopping when she originally came but now as thinking of plans of the apartment she shared with Mordie. Taking note of a few more things she planned to take home, she looked at Mortll. "I never would have quit without notice. If you need or don't mind, I would love to come back and help you out."

Kennedy frowned as she listened to Mortll. So much change and so many people had left. She could only hope that Mordie was still alive somewhere, hopefully with Pru but as she heard that her sire hadn't been around either, she snorted. "CC is one that only has herself to think about and does just that. If she is gone then that is for the better though probably causing trouble somewhere for someone. Mordie and Pru were more my concern." Her heart felt a little heavy but was thinking and hoping for the best for her chosen sire, Pru and her love. They deserved the best so if they weren't in the Shadow Realm, they were living the best they could and that was a hopeful thought to her.

As she was offered a seat at a nearby table, she nodded and made her way to the offered table to take a seat. It was lovely to get in touch someone she knew because that meant that not everyone had left the city. Thinking over the offer as Mortll questioned if she needed healed or blood. "I'm good on blood, took care of that this evening because I was starving and no injuries currently but I could go for a whiskey if you have any." Kennedy appreiated that Mortll was blunt. To her it was a waste of time to beat around the bush especially when one lived in a city that most everyone was an enemy, more so if you looked at them wrong.
