Sybil nodded, watching the wolf's actions. It was certainly aggressive, despite its small size. She reached out to touch Raikou. "Believe that this is wrong," she whispered, gesturing to the freezing weather around her. "You can't cut yourself off, you can't hide. You can't freeze your heart or it will wither and die, and you with it. Believe in warmth, believe in strength. Believe that you are worthy of peace, and you will achieve it." She blew out a warm breath, hoping to melt a bit more of the ice cold shell that surrounded the werewolf.

[Raikou]

The wolf growled and jumped in front of Raikou. "Stop filling her head with lies. Nothing good can come from people. They hurt her and so will you.." Raikou looked at the wolf, but she couldn't move, she couldn't stop her other half. "Get out before she hurts you." Raikou said scared for her friend. "Touketsu please stop." She said pleading with the wolf who growled and shook its head. "She can not help us no one can."

[Billie_blujean]

Sybil smiled at the wolf. "You do not wish to make me your enemy, ego," she said softly, before turning to Raikou again. "Reign in your beast. You have more power than her. I feel it flowing from you. Take care, we will see one another again soon." She smiled at the werewolf, waved goodbye, and was gone.

[Raikou]

Raikou continues to sleep being tried from the day before. Was she really stronger than her wolf? If so why was she always scared? She sighed as she woke up to see what time of day it was.

[Billie_blujean]

Sybil woke up, tired and feeling alone. She wandered around her apartment for hours, until dusk fell. From there, it was a quick stop to perform damage control with Prince Gerspacher (it went quite well, all things considering). After that, Sybil wandered the area, avoiding most of the better known supernatural spots. She was lonely, and sort of wanted to stay lonely. Jinx walked with her, surprisingly quiet, merely keeping an eye out for trouble.

Charly was walking through a neighborhood when she saw a woman walking with a cat. As she was walking by the cat looked at her and made her stop walking. She bent down and started to pet him. "What's your cat's name?" She asked the woman,standing back up.She extended her hand in greeting."Charlene Farida,I just got the title of Daeva leader against my wishes. Might I ask you who you are?" She was very polite for a Daeva noble,not using any mind tricks to siphon information.

[Billie_blujean]

Sybil smiled slightly, getting ready to answer. Jinx meowed loudly, before saying, "I can tell you my name myself, vampire."

Sybil shot the cat a nasty glance and smiled up at the girl. "He's Jinx. I'm Miss Fortune. I work for Prince Gerspacher. You're obviously kindred, but I can't say I've seen you around." She offered her hand to the Daeva. "And you are?"

[Mr Hyde]

Skidding to a stop on yet another rooftop Grim peered over the side at the street below. This street was quite different than the others. While much of the city was crammed and bustling this street remained quiet and almost completely devoid of traffic. The reason was a high class building with a scattered group of vampire guards surrounding it. Overall it seemed this region was filled with mostly humans, yet the vampires ran everything important. From what Grim had managed to gather a high level noble of some sort resided here. Just the same, he was merely curious. Picking a fight with anyone in charge was never a good idea, and the disquiet made going unnoticed hard enough.

Ducking down as one of the guards peered his way Grim quickly headed towards the opposite edge of the building. He was pretty sure the man had gotten a look at him, if only for an instance. Just the same the sight of a darkly cloaked man on the rooftop might attract some attention, depending on whether or not the guard was sure of what he’d seen.

Skidding down the building’s fire escape Grim quickly disappeared into the crowd, heading back to the rooftop he’d previously visited. It’s peaceful atmosphere would be good for him.

[Tony Gerspacher]

The phone rang. Tony looked up from his writing, frowning. He reached over to answer the phone. "Yes?"

"Hello, my Prince. This is Mina."

"Yes, my darling," Tony sighed, leaning back at his desk. "How can I assist you?"

"Well, love, there was a man on your roof. We caught a glimpse and can't find him now. What do you want me to do?"

Tony stood and walked to the windows, scanning the skyline. "Find him, sheriff," he switched swiftly from politeness to hard dominance. "Find out who he is and what he wants. Do no harm unless absolutely necessary."

Mina was grinning. Tony could feel it in her words. "As you wish, my master." And the phone was dead.

Tony frowned, settling down again. He couldn't help but continue to steal glances at the windows. Things were odd in the city, he could feel it.

[Miss Mina]

Mina followed the trail of the mysterious being to a tall building near the center of the city. Shit... she thought, pursing her lips as she looked at the symbols engraved into the corners of the wall. Flipping open her cell phone, she dialed without looking. "My Prince, you should come quickly. You won't believe who appears to be back."

[Mr Hyde]

Scurrying up the last fire escape Grim viewed the peaceful setting on the silent rooftop he had first visited after his meeting with the Muse. He’d never noticed it before but it seemed as if all the noise of the chaotic outside world had dimmed and dispersed as he stood upon this peaceful platform of concrete and steel. After their time in the midday sun many of the flowers were bright and in full bloom. Even in the many years he had wandered this dark world Grim had had little time to learn of such things as flowers, yet just the same he enjoyed the simplistic beauty of them. The sight of something so delicate, beautiful, and full of life was a welcome sight to one of his kind, as deformed and unnatural as he was.

Stepping into the small greenhouse Grim knelt to smell a small yellow flower with curved petals as the sound of a rusty doorknob disturbed the quite tranquility. His scarred head snapping to one side Grim clumsily leapt out of sight, diving behind a large pile of boxes just outside of the small greenhouse. Quickly regulating his breathing Grim peered around the boxes to one side and watched as an elderly man opened the door and headed towards the small greenhouse. The man was very strange to be sure. While he showed the signs of an age that few humans ever reached he walked with a slow leisurely gait that showed no signs of pain or discomfort that commonly came with such age. In his left hand he held a gnarled old stick the showed signs of long use, yet seemed to be held more as a comforting friend rather than a crutch or cane. His chaotic tangle of light brown hair gave him a harmless and strangely natural look.

Stepping over to a small patch of tomatoes in the far corner of the greenhouse the old man turned his back to Grim and carefully began watering the small patch. Seeing his chance Grim slowly got up, heading towards the small fire escape just a few yards away.

“You don’t have to leave if you don’t want to.”

Freezing where he stood Grim kept completely quite. Was it possible he was talking to someone else? Did he have a phone or something on him he hadn’t seen?

“It’s ok; no one will harm you here, promethean.”

Ok, that was definitely him. Regaining his posture and straightening himself to his full height Grim turned towards the old man, who had yet to have turned around, seemingly having found his plants more important than Grim for the time being.

“You can stay here if you like, being your first day here it would probably be best if you first stayed here for a while, just to give you a better feel for the city.”

Blinking in surprise Grim slowly walked towards him.

“How do you know I’m new to this place? And why are you helping me?”

“I know pretty much everyone that lives around here. And why shouldn’t I help you. You’re just a another being that’s been thrown into this strange thing we call life. I help all beings that I can, from the worms in this soil, to the birds in the sky, to the humans that walk in the streets below us, you are no different, no matter what your origins may have been.”

Cocking his head to the side Grim watched the old man.

“But aren’t you human?”

“Human? No, not really, but that doesn’t really matter. If you’d like you can stay here for a while you can. We’ve got room for any that need aid, and food and drink a plenty, no matter your tastes. As long as make no quarrel with the rest of the guests you may stay as long as you like.”

Turning from his gardening the old man looked unflinchingly at Grim, smiling and gesturing towards the door.

“I….I can’t…..it doesn’t work when I stay somewhere for too long. Things just go bad...”

With a knowing look the man headed towards the door.

“Aaaah. The Disquiet. Rather unfortunate thing it is. I can’t cure you of it, very few can for that matter, yet I can assure you as long as you are within these walls it will not hinder you. You may rest here in peace and safety, and leave whenever you like. It is all up to you.”

Feeling very uncomfortable Grim takes swallows and looks fidgets nervously.

“I…I…ok…thank you…I…what is your name?”

“The young call me Uncle, the religious call me Father, and you may call me Bob, just Bob, if you’d like.”

“Bob….”

With another smile and a light bob of his head Bob opened up the rusty door and walked inside. Peering cautiously inside Grim slowly walked through the doorway and was confronted by a very strange sight. The top few levels of the building had been hollowed out, and a peaceful breeze seemed to run throughout the entire upper structure. Smiling and leading the way the old man, Bob, led Grim down a network of platforms and walkways around the outer perimeter of the structure. As they walked Grim noticed curious eyes poking out of many makeshift structures that dotted the canopy-like area. At times he saw the bodies to which they belonged. Sometimes they were small ape-like creatures, other times humans, and other times a scattering of many other races.

As the came down the last walkway Bob led Grim down a rustic spiral staircase into a well lit room that had the look of a central lobby. Turning Bob pointed to a large map to Grim’s left.

“That should help you in finding a suitable room. We have accommodations fit for any individual, whether you seek a quite and peaceful rest in a forest setting or a more energetic environment in one of our upper canopies. Also you may wish to leave your weapons at your room. It is your choice, but many of the other residents will likely not speak to you if they see them.”

“Uh….thank you…”

Smiling politely once more the man headed off to a connected room and began speaking with a young vampiress who sat in behind a large desk in a formal looking room.

Walking up to the large sign Grim read it up and down, finally finding an open room that looked as if it would suit his tastes. He was surprised to find that the building had over a dozen levels, many of which were underground. Taking the small dangling key that sat next to the room’s location on the map he headed out, quickly finding that the many signs along the way made it extremely easy to find his room.

At last he appeared in a small comfy room that had a soft poofy bed in one corner, a small bathroom in another, and other assorted things that gave it a rather homey feel. Sitting down lightly on the plain but comfortable couch that sat on one side of the room Grim took a long look at his new surroundings. It was small, but not cramped, and it was strange, but he felt at peace here, for the first time in a long while. With a content look Grim slowly fell off into a deep sleep.

[Tony Gerspacher]

Tony stood with his arms crossed as he looked at the building. "My word," he said, trying to continue his nonchalant attitude he'd become so popular for. "My dear friend is indeed back. I should wonder how long he's been here, and more importantly, why I wasn't made aware of this earlier." He glanced at Mina, who fought not to cringe at the look he gave her. "Ah, very well," he said softly. "I shall send my dear Sybil with a letter encouraging him to meet with me."

"But I can take care of such a task, my Prince," Mina said softly.

"No, my darling. Not this time. Miss Fortune shall do it. I trust her implicitly." He turned to face Mina, but only caught a glimpse of her as she dissipated into mist and blew off in a hurry. He sighed. "Perhaps that last statement crossed a boundary of which I was unaware," he murmured, staring back up at the building.

[Raikou]

Raikou laid back on the roof something was going on. Something was different with her pack and she didn't like it. They use to act as though she wasn't there and now before they walk off they look up at her. Well it was more like a hateful glare, what has she done to make they upset with her again? All through out the night she stayed on her guard waiting for one of them to turn on her. It wouldn't be the last time or the first for her.

[Nekochan92]

Charly jumped when Jinx talked, "Oh god! You have a talking cat,that is so cool!I'm Charly. Yes, I'm a distant relative from the Daeva community about thirty miles away. I don't visit the prince often because I absolutely despise vampire royalty and nobility. They are very disgusting beings that act charming and polite while you're there then plot your death as soon as you've left. They're snakes in human clothing. I hate them all,I prefer the company of peasants and humans. Since my sire died though,I now have no choice but to become what I hate. I don't think I can do it,I don't have the heart to be evil to my own brethren." She sighed,taking a couple of steps forward. She turned around,"Do you do fortune telling? I can pay whatever price you want." She said,she was desperate to know her fate.

[Billie_blujean]

Sybil cracked her fingers, a bit surprised at the girl's potent case of verbal diarrhea. "Wow, you have some strong feelings on vampires. They're not all that terrible, you know. And you should be careful who you express those feelings to. While Prince Gerspacher could care less what a neonate like yourself believes, there are others out there who would become quite... displeased with you should you state your opinions too loudly."

Jinx snorted, but meowed in agreement.

"And yes, I do tell fortunes," she said softly. "I don't typically charge money, although I'm sure we can reach an agreement we see as fair should we both sit down to discuss it." She gestured to an all-night coffee shop. "Shall we?"

[Miss Mina]

Mina stood at a distance, watching the werewolf. As she heightened her sight, it was determined that she was most certainly the one she had seen with Sybil previously. "Little Sybil, why are you cavorting with a were? Especially one that is unwanted by her pack," she said softly, to no one. "Perhaps because you are unwanted, too?"

She leaned back, against a tree and waited for the watchful eye of the wolf to view her.

[Raikou]

The feeling of being watched was something that Raikou hated very much. The feeling wasn't coming from her pack members, but from somewhere else. She used her senses she was about to find and target the one who was watching her so ruthlessly. Deep sliver pools turned and looked at Mina, staring into her eyes. Coldness could be felt from just looking at her, it was a warning not to come any closer.

A low growl rose out of Raikou's trought as she looked at the vampire that was at a distance from her. "What is a vampire doing this far from their safe area?" She asked herself, vampires never really came this far out of the area that they have claimed for them selves. Also werewolves never travel into their areas avoiding all contact.

[Miss Mina]

Mina smirked, and gave the wolf a very clear signal - she pointed her two fingers toward her eyes, and then turned them towards Raikou. She was certain the wolf would get the message - Mina was watching her.

[Raikou]

Raikou seeing the signal, glared coldly at the woman. She didn't understand why a vampire would be interested in her. As long as the blood sucker stays out of the marked areas, she didn't have to fight her. Once she steps foot into the marks she would have to take action.

Charly nodded silently,following Miss Fortune into the small coffee shop.She sat in a booth and looked at the other woman. "Now,lets get straight to it. How would you like me to pay you and where shall we do the reading?" Charly was very business-like in everything she did,which explained her lack of invitation to anything more than vampiric business meetings,when they needed to use her skills. She glanced down at the Mocha that was just placed in front of her. She hated to meet people`s eyes unless she was arguing,otherwise she didn`t feel worthy.
