Ooc: Others are welcome to join, simply pm me :) But for now it's Roderic and the other invited party :)]
It wasn't that she was going out of her way to piss of Doc or even irritate the new family she had become a part of, but at the same time, she was a grown woman and hated seeing people always down. Perhaps that was why Elliot had chosen her out of so many others to share his secret with. Whatever the reason, she refused to stand by and let others be what was obviously in some kind of a killer funk.
Doc had simply gotten lucky enough to display what was obviously some serious anger issues first before anyone else had. She could tell he wouldn't listen to her, and clearly the kitten gift hadn't worked, nor had the telepathic messages of good will and cheer.
So she, being determined to help him, had gone outside the crownet of the D'artois and found the public area she rarely bothered to keep up on. She figured the more people who could help the better, whether they were strangers or not.
She ignored the upset replies and finally found one who seemed like he honestly wanted to help. Bringing up his crownet handle, she sent off an email to him and waited for a reply.
"To: Interested Party
I would love help with this. Perhaps we can meet up somewhere and discuss deets? My phone number is ---/---/----. Feel free to text me to confirm the meet/place!
Sincerely & Happily,
Jia li D'artois

I stared at my computer screen for a solid three minutes.
I couldn't believe what I was reading.
It hurt to look at it.
I wanted to delete it, but it wouldn't matter.
The memory would be engrained in my mind for eternity.
"To: Interested Party
I would love help with this. Perhaps we can meet up somewhere and discuss deets? My phone number is"
I couldn't get much further than that without wanting to grab the nearest pencil and jab it in my eye.
She took my words seriously.
This woman was serious.
Who the hell sired that?
She was as annoying as Saige.
Then again, even Saige wasn't that annoying. Saige I could work with.
This woman?
I just wanted to put her out of her misery and give her a harsh reality check on the way out.
I sat back in the computer chair and gave this email and the woman some deep thought.
Maybe she wasn't really like this.
Could be a trap, or a guise.
I'd be impressed, but I doubt it.
It had to be done. I had to kill her.
She'd be back, but weeks without her around would do me a favor. And this guy she was talking about too.
I hit reply and type out a short reply.
I don't want to give myself away, or my motives.
I can meet up whenever. I don't like clubs or bars, so somewhere not so busy would be good for me. Let's say 10:00 p.m. on whatever night you pick. I'm free most nights.
I hit send and then close the email system out. I can't stand to look at her words for a second longer.
If I could bleach my eyes, I would.
Come to think of it, I could.
I stand and head for the kitchen.

She had to admit, she wasn't sure about helping Doc anymore, especially since right at this moment from catching up in the special internet for her family, his girlfriend or whoever she was had decided she was trying to hit on him and not help him.
She had to laugh at that, even if it took willpower to not respond. She didn't want to add to the anger of her papi, he had already been more upset lately then she had seen him. So she held back from replying, since keeping her temper seemed the better part of wisdom.
Feeling her phone vibrate, she welcomed the distraction from the annoyances and grinned. The guy seemed a bit hesitant to meet up with her, but still seemed willing by the end of the text. Perhaps she had come off a bit crazy in her stunt, but she liked to have fun and so far most the peeps she'd met were all on the super "serious vampire of doom" side.
She thought over all the places she had happened upon in this city and figured that Dragomir place might serve as a good out of the way meeting spot.
"First thank you for responding. Second, how about Wednesday night at Dragomir Temple? I've only been there a few times, but I hardly see anyone there, so we wouldn't be disturbed or crowded by others. I'm still getting used to being up nights, so how about midnight?"
Sending the text, she waved her hand at her computer and shut it down. Deciding that she would try and go find Elliot and see if she couldn't cheer him up in person.

I got a reply back a few minutes later.
I shake my head.
Sure, I get people don't need to be rude in their replies, but this woman seemed to reek of desperation.
Or was trying too hard.
Either way, it was irritating.
I think on a reply before I send one out.
Something short and to the point.
"Sure. Wednesday works good.
That temple is around the Honeymead area, right?
If so, I'll see you there at midnight on Wednesday."
I hit send and think about how stupid she is.
Midnight?
Alone? Or as close to alone as possible?
Perfect.
I was doing the world a favor.
If not the world, then at least the person she was on about in a public forum.
Either way, she would permanently shut the **** up.

Getting his text back, she could almost feel his enthusiasm. Maybe he was like her in the aspect that he really wanted to help others. She wondered if she should bring a weapon along to defend herself, but grinned at the thought. She was a big bad vampire now right? So she could hopefully defend herself. Considering tell Elliot she was going to meet up with someone, just in case, she shook her head at the thought. He had sounded so stressed the last time they had talked and she didn't want to worry him over nothing. This guy was probably perfectly fine and here she was thinking he was a serial killer or something.
Giggling out loud, she texted a reply and then wondered what one wore to a session of plotting on how to make others happy.
"No its by the Gulls station, but its only a block down, and a block to the left. Easy to spot. See you Weds."
-Wednesday-
Her fingers flipped through the closet, flicking past the super casual clothes to the dress section. It was almost spring and you could feel it coming in the air. Or at least she could. Picking out a simple dress, she matched it with black nylons and decided it would keep her warm if it was chilly outside, but would still fit her spring mood.
Deciding to get to the meet early, she got on the train an hour early and was quickly at the Gulls station in no time. Unsure of exactly what this guy looked like, she slowly walked to the temple, looking around her. It wasn't crowded, so she could hang out at the door of the temple and still be able to see him coming , unless of course he was already inside.

Wednesday came pretty fast.
Nights seemed to do that when you kept them busy.
Sleep during the day, work at night, time seemed to fly more easily then when I was human.
I had scoped out the place she was talking about the night before.
Just to get a feel for the layout, how busy the place was, things like that.
From what I can tell there are one or two regulars that rest there.
Maybe people who live on the street.
Maybe drunks.
I don't really care. But I do keep that in the back of my mind for future reference.
I take my time getting there.
I don't see the need to hurry.
She'll wait. I can tell by her over-eagerness.
She would probably wait for hours. After emailing me a hundred times.
As I get there, I look around.
The two people I saw the night before were there.
A woman, an older male and another woman.
I disregard the men in the building.
I trust given by her personality on the public forum that she is in fact a woman.
So which one, then?
The Asian woman in a pink colored dress?
Or the blond in a skirt and sweater ensemble?
I'm not sure so I take a seat at a bench and just watch the two women, eyes sweeping from side to side.

Her head lifted as she saw a new male walk in. Her face gaped for a few seconds, nothing about his text had suggested he was drop dead gorgeous. Coughing a bit at the thought, and hoping she wasn't obvious, she put a smile on her face and got up, walking over to him.
She hoped she wasn't assuming wrong, but the other man in the building had seemed to old for the language used in the text and she figured it had to be this guy as he was appearing a tiny bit late to the meet.
The end of the pink outfit swirled as she walked, her smile widening as up close he was still gorgeous.
"I do hope you are the one interested in my fun activities?" Her eyes gleamed brightly as she snagged the other seat on the bench and faced towards him.

The Asian women gets up and comes towards me.
It seems that answers that one.
I observe her appearance again.
Her physique.
She's like most women.
It's obvious she took care of herself before becoming a vampire.
I assume that's what she is because of that forum.
It's what I've been told that place is about.
More or less a ***** fest for vampires who have nothing better to do with their time.
A little disappointing since I'm now stuck as a vampire forever.
The blood thieves didn't even have this much in house fighting between them.
And they were just human.
Humans that could die and not come back.
Anyways, she's average in her physique.
Not much fat anywhere.
She's not very tall. Possibly a good advantage for her.
Lighter people tend to run faster.
Especially if their life depended on it.
But she's in a dress and some heels.
That possibly works to my advantage.
She speaks first, which is fine by me.
I'm not a big talker anyways.
It doesn't register to me that she could mean something else with her question.
I take it at face value.
"Depends. Define, fun." My eyes move from her to our surroundings after I shoot a question back at her.

The question had her pausing for a moment. What did she intend to do. Honestly she had been joking a bit when she had posted the whole post about Doc and hugs and such. But she did want to make him a happier person. In fact if she could do it with him, then she could do it with anyone. But idea wise, she found herself being blank. All she knew of what Doc liked was violence and that was it. Maybe this guy would have some ideas.
"Honestly, I'm feeling a bit blank. I'm so ashamed. I had all these plans, but I'm just not sure if they will work on someone whose filled with violent thoughts. Do you have any ideas? I'm sure you have been in this city for ages and know more then I do. I just recently came here and found myself turned into this cool vampire form!"
