General Description:
He is a tall dark skinned gentlemen, long white hair with braids at the left side of him. On the right side of his face and down to his hip is his tribal tattoos that date back to 100 years from its origin. One could see how many men he killed, his achievements in the tribe he came from, his travels and birth name and date. That is if you could read the language and hieroglyphs. His ears are notably pointed and pierced in steel cuffs with a chain connecting to the tip and lobe of the ear on his left hair. Warm golden hazelnut eyes, an angular face and pointed chin with a small nose.

His form is slender with toning, seeming to have both a masculine and feminine hourglass shape. Perhaps he is both a heavy lifter and runner, when he wants to be but then again he does like to dance. On the left side of his neck, chest and side of his ribs however, this being the only blemish on his skin, he had large scars, deep from shrapnel and bullet wounds.

Mentality
Personality:
Due to his origin, his appearance sets him apart from others in Las Vegas making quite the....show for this and the fact that he hates crowds he stays away, in the dark somewhere, though he can be, warm, calm, nice. He only gives that if he choices or that they earn his trust then he will show it but otherwise he will most likely seem cold and de-attached unless you strike up his curiosity then he will be more sociable in order to learn more about you.. He is a hard person let alone a vampire to read, he is unpredictable, with his temper. He is quiet, or at least chooses to be considering his actions speaking more, than speech itself.

Though most vampires tend to say within their groups and look to the others in disgust he is one for breaking rules or not caring for them, often mixing with other vampire types from himself, without them realising as he is currently the only one of hi kind in Las Vegas that he knows of that can shape shift his very appearance. Perhaps it is to learn from them? Prey on them? Spy on them? No one knows except him. His unpredictability makes him dangerous apart from the fact that he is a vampire. He is one of the most dangerous in the vampire type Homo Wampyrus Chiroptera.

History
-------Part of a true event------
Present in The South African Border War, commonly referred to as the Angolan Bush War in South Africa, was a conflict that took place from 1966 to 1989 largely in South-West Africa (now Namibia) and Angola between South Africa and its allied forces (mainly UNITA) on the one side and the Angolan government, South-West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO), and their allies (mainly Cuba) on the other. It was closely intertwined with the Angolan Civil War and the Namibian War of Independence. He was a tribal warrior turned from one of his kind on the second day of this centuries old war.

His origin Namibia where the border war started and he in his new state of life helped win the war, fighting for his home for years........then he appeared on the Las Vegas scene...he has a hard time talking about his long past and often has to be feed alcohol to actually open up about it.

Family/Associates:
During the South African Border War(SABW), he fought alongside his father and male siblings as females were protected, in his clan females were rare. So there was often same sex couplings that produced children even. The clan was not known for their ability to reproduce without females until later on when a few of his clan members that were captured were dissected. Males were found with inactive wombs and strange ovaries that could change their own semen into eggs for the betterment of their clan to stay alive. A birth canal would travel down into their bowel as a separate passage way in their anus so they could birth them naturally or have a c-section, most chose natural means to refrain damage to their form or child(ern). It comes from their ability to shapeshift, so naturally internally males could reproduce. So females were protected to the very end.

But they lost the fight as their numbers shrunk. Alan watched most of his brothers be tortured to death, captured himself and his mother raped and killed. His sister though, sacrificed herself for her brother, her name was Aisla Hope White. She shapeshifted into one of the guards to free Alan. Ending up being killed in the end by a shotgun blast to her back and chest, Alan obtaining his scars this way from gun bullets to the side of his ribs and shrapnel from grenades in the underground facility. He saw the dissection of some of his people, it sickened him. When he got out, he obtained some burns from sunlight from being in it too long and he disappeared on a boat sailing away. He left his life behind.

Resurfacing after a century or two in the Las vegas seen, completely different in a suit rather than tribal fur attire but his dark skin, white hair and tattoos certainly made him stand out...

So begins...

The music was loud, the rythmic beat felt as if it was pounding inside his skull but the man sat at the bar didn't mind this one bit, it just added to the atmosphere in the room creating a thick and primordial, animalistic charge that hung in the air as the customers either raved to the beat or sated their varying thirsts. Smiling to himself as he saw the revellers having a good time whilst the staff tried their best please them, the figure sat at the bar picked up his drink and downed it's content; feeling satisfied at the burning sensation of the whiskey and a coppery taste of something that wouldn't be found in a lot of people's cocktail. After ordering another drink the man lit up a cigarette, taking a long drag on it before letting out an equally long exhalation the individual scanned his environment; as he looked past the usual customers and the "entertainers" he noticed the owner of the nightclub was no where to be seen but his favourite pet, one which was rumoured to be the owners right hand man despite only being a worker, was working the floor as he usually did, the man he was looking for on the other hand was as absent as the owner.

Hmm, Petrov mentioned the parte codardo di merda would be paranoid but this is ridiculous, the man scolded in his head picking up his fresh drink and once again downing the contents, his one good eye fixed on the entrance. After some time had passed, his mark finally showed up and headed towards the watching man, his head was down and the man looked like he would run as soon as the watcher made any movement as he shuffled towards the bar. "H-hey there Carth what's with the sudden meeting, ey?" The newcomer asked, squirming as he made himself on one of the stools next to the more imposing man. "Well Jacob it's the usual stuff, one of us has been running amuck amongst the donatore dii sangue and Petrov's found out," Carth mentioned light heartedly a casual grin on his face as if he was filling in an old friend on the latest gossip, noticing a slight tremble in the smaller mans lower lip, "And he's asked us to get rid them." At this last sentence Jacob seemed to visually relax, causing the grin on the other man's lips to retract I to a smirk.

With a nod of his head he signalled the bartender who had been waiting on them to serve them two drinks, Carth's usual: a whiskey cocktail containing sugar syrup, single malt whiskey and his most favourite liquid, A- blood. For the man who was no longer squirming on his seat, a screw driver was poured but with something else added to it as well, a little something extra Carth had tipped the barkeep to add once the mark had shown up. Picking up his own drink, Carth saluted both the man behind the bar and the man sat next to him and drank his beloved liquor in one gulp and waited for the other man to follow suit, to which he did as on que. With the smirk still on Carth's face he asked for his tab and payed it, grabbing Jacob under the armpit and half dragged him out the back exit, the drug that was added to the drink was now taking hold of the man as he made no attempt to resist the only thing he could do was whimper. When they where safely out of everyone's sight in a back alley that stunk of urine, Carth threw the man into the closest pile of refuge, his whimpers growing in intensity. "P-please don't do this, we're buddies right? You wouldn't kill a buddy over a mistake right?" Jacob begged on his knees, tears in his eyes a glimmer of hope in those brown doe like eyes that maybe he could squirm his way out of his inevitable demise. "I don't make the rules." Carth said flatly, as he pulled out a colt .1911 from a hidden holster attached close to his left shoulder and attached a silencer that he produced from his pocket.

"It's nothing personal." And with that said, he placed the tip of the silenced gun to the begging mans forehead and pulled the trigger, shielding his face from the splash back as Jacobs vitae as the man's body slumped backwards, bending it's back in an unnatural way. His job still not finished the armed man placed a carefully aimed round into the body's heart and that was it, job over although conscious wise it wouldn't be over for another week but still he was done and that was all that mattered. He detached the silencer and placed everything back were it had previously been, he even went has far as picking up the spent cartridge and dropped it, nonchalant into the closest trash bin. He needn't worry about the body being discovered, it would be nothing but dust in half an hour or so, with that on his mind he pulled out his mobile phone and called his employer. When the call was accepted he stated, "It's done Petrov, the 'miscreant' has been dealt with. If you need anything else I'm just a call away." He let out a loud sigh as he hung up, pulling out a cigarette and lighting it, hopefully that's it for the day but... The night is still young.

William's deep pink eyes narrowed as he peered over the shoulder of his guard. "Who is that?" He demanded thrusting a narrow pale finger at the screen, the blurry image of a man flickered at the bar. The guard blinked and leaned in squinting at the screen.

"I dunno." He muttered. William smacked him in the back of the head with his cane.

"Don't give me I dunno. Give me names. Watch him, and figure out who that other man is." He snapped. He knew from experience that these things didn't simply go away. He needed to take action before the shit storm blew in his direction and ruined the crops he'd worked so hard to sow. He turned away, leaning on the silver handle of his cane and pulled out a cell phone. It was an old flip model colored purple and green as most of his things where, the image of a white rabbit printed on the front. He pressed a few of the buttons and typed in a message before flipping it closed then left the security room, leaving the guard chatting on the coms.

William walked down the narrow halls that lined the upper floors of his club, he could feel the vibrations of the electronic noise coming from the dance hall of the night club but the sound itself was muffled thanks to the money he'd spent in noise cancellation insulation, it still made he head ache, which was why his own living quarters where several stories up still. These floors belonged to the staff and for the few who could manage to afford a private evening with one or two of his ghouls the price was higher than admittance to the club AND the Feeding floors combined so the rooms on that level where never filled completely. William took to the stairs and carefully worked his way up them, hoping that his Little Cat got his message.

Robb, meanwhile had been on the stage. Treating the guests to suggestive glances and winks as he shook his arse on stage. He'd started off in little more than a fluorescent green suit coat and pants and a loosely done purple tie, his pale shapely torso visible to all as he danced to those who enjoyed that sort of thing, tossing his tie and coat into the audience until all he wore was the pants low and revealing on his waist, an equally fluorescent pink G-string just visible. Robb had felt his waist vibrate as William paged him and he finished up his act, bowing low and giving the women at the front a wink of his blind eye, and a grin. Robb had a body nicely suited for his job, thin, his stomach flat but not emaciated, muscles just rippling beneath his skin. For an 87 year old he had a body to die for. He left the stage and pulled on a dark purple dress shirt over his bare torso inquiring on the nearest guards what had happened.

"Some suspicious guy spotted at the bar. Spotted him going off with another guy might've been drugged. He wants us to bring the guy up to him for payment." The guard said. All the guards where dressed in all black with the logo of the club stitched on their breasts and a purple and pink tie. They all wore earpieces and radios and they all carried both tasers and guns. Every single one of the guards where big burly men with at least basic training in the art of subduing a rowdy party-goer. Half where also trained in killing vampires.

"Why does he want me out there?" Robb asked, exasperated. The guard merely shrugged. Robb sighed. "Two of you come with me, let's go offer this man a rare visit with the White Rabbit."

Against The Sun || Opening Theme || Rootkit



Alan and Alesso the night before had been out for the usual 'clean up' of undesirables in the city causing havok. Of course there was other reasons for doing this part from making sure the completely insane, feral or deformed beyond saving nightwalkers were out of sight... Or gone by request. Both Alan and Alesso were like towers, quite fitting and perhaps ironic as they lived in The Ivory Tower on top of their Casino and Hotel that they built together. Penthouse level. Of course, they weren't the only ones that lived there. A young girl, Anais Calverleigh lived with them. Both of them, doing the same thing as kill lowly vampires, all but husks of their former selves. They stumbled onto her, frightened to death. Alesso took one look at her and instantly wanted to take her with them. He embraced her, keeping her intertwined in his elongated arms and clawed fingers. A gentle giant. Keeping her close but had her watch as Alan slain the beasts that ended her normal life, and her brother. A harsh sense of justice, a brutal thing for such a young thing to see. She also saw something that was not very common for a vampire to do that night, but she - of course, kept it to herself.

Ever since then, the young lady, Anais Calverleigh had resided with them. Getting a life of glitz and glamour, from poverty to riches. Perhaps this was God's joke and gift to her. Wiping her clean of her old life with a swipe of claws and red in her vision. Cruel, but rather wonderful for her. Of course these two men were not exactly normal, that much was clear from the night and as well as their behaviors. Contrasts of each other yet they also resided in a strange harmony. Her included. She was very much treated to the best by them, but of course. She also resided in their business world too. Working as a presenter, host and manager at times in the Casino and Hotel marked as 'The Ivory Tower.' But behind the legitimate books she was also there to deal, presenting unimaginable firepower, help heads roll and manage differing vampiric hirelings. After all, every tower has its closed walls, its dirty laundry... The girl was strong, Alan and Alesso saw this instantly the moment she did not die. Though she would have a privileged life she of course had to do her own work in their weird, frightening but exciting world of wonders.

Every time Alan came from a night of hunting, in the night he would be quite sickly for a time, sometimes in pain but once that passed he would awaken and be rather full of life and energy. So he finally slept peacefully once the pain and burn ended and when he opened his amberish hues, blinking a few times he rubbed sleep from his eyes. Feeling warmth on his back, claws threatening to scratch into his chest he sighed. ''Alesso.'' The man in question, actively spooning Alan, all to happy to be there, rubbing the side of his face into the back of Alan's neck and hair made a happy and dreamy. ''Hmm~?'' In response to Alan, the tip of his browny red tail wagging as it was wrapped around Alan's ankle. His slightly pointed ears twitching to his voice as Alan spoke further. ''Get off.'' Alesso whined sadly, the words making him only squish closer to Alan, which just sighed again before barking his name again. From there, Alesso hissed lowly before smiling with a whine at the end as he pulled away. ''Okay... Morning Alan.'' He sat up in the large king sized bed, which was Alan's. Alesso had his own room but had actively watched Alan sleep for a long while before slithering his way into it with him. Sneaky devil.

Alesso crawled out of the bed, his arms, legs and fingers rather elongated. The man was actually slightly deformed from his...lineage of where he came from, not exactly a pure blooded Sauria thanks to his father. But his father, Ruvik Von Burgentine loved him very much. The man owned all Hospitals and medical centres in Las Vegas, rather smart and well known for his own talents in human anatomy and care. Alesso hummed to himself as he slowly rose to his feet, stretching his long limbs. Alan looked away as he sat up in his bed and got out of it. Both men not particularly shy of one another giving the fact they were both in the nude and didn't bat an eyelid about it. Alesso looked at Alan as he walked into his bathroom, doing his business and getting into the shower even though the night before he went into one to wash himself of any blood before hand, just like Alesso had done. But Alan was a particular man of class, taste and perfection. Perhaps a bit OCD but other than that, which the gentleman. ''Alan, you should relax for this day and night. Perhaps socialize. Take Anais out with you. She can keep you all nice and calm no? et out, have a drink~'' Alan didn't answer until ten minutes later when he came back in with a towel. By that time Alesso went off on his own and slipped into a loose white shirt, formal black trousers where he kept his tail hidden and some formal shoes. Slipping a black and deep blue waistcoat on just returning back to Alan as he finally replied.

''Drink and me don't get on.'' Alesso giggled some before snapping back a response playfully. ''Don't drink then. Just take the lady out will you~?'' Alan frowned at Alesso then walked to his wardrobe getting into a white suit without a tie, slightly open shirt that was light blue. He also had a old pocket watch he wore around with him then he slipped some white formal shoes on before turning to Alesso as he closed the wardrobe doors. ''I will think about it.'' Alesso smirked, clapping his hands then turning away and started to walk out. ''Good good.''

At first, Anais thought she was looking at herself in a mirror. Green eyes, a cat's eye green, stared back at her, unblinking. She could see, this close up, that the eyes had flecks of darker green hidden within the almost neon green, and each individual eyelash that failed to move, as the eyes didn't blink. Anais stared back, before she leaned forward to breathe on the mirror glass, expecting it to fog up. Except it didn't. And that's when she realized.

Those eyes staring at her weren't hers... They were Stefan's. She noticed his short, spiky black hair, the pallor of his skin, and the bloody wound that steadily dripped blood onto the wooden floorboards on his neck. She remembered where she was... Under the bed, hiding from the terrifying monsters that had torn her family from her in the worst way possible. She muttered his name, and shuddered as she felt a cold, clammy hand wrap around her ankle.


Anais had to stifle a scream by hiding her face in her pillow. She hated dreaming about the day she lost her family, even if it was the day she had met Alan and Alesso. She still didn't know what to think of the pair - Alesso, although sweet, did have a habit of watching her sleep, and the pair had some... secrets... she knew she couldn't pass on. She thought highly of the pair, for saving her life, even if they couldn't save her family. Huffing out a sigh, she hauled herself out of the bed and hurried to get dressed - today it was her exquisite blue silk floral dress, trimmed with pink, and a short white apron, carefully embroidered with blue and light green, and her black boots, before remembering her knife, and sliding it into the custom made sheath in her boot. It made things easier that way. She ran a hand through her hair, and, with one look in the antique mirror that hung on the wall, she slipped out quietly and made sure to close the door.

The Ivory Tower always caught Anais by surprise. Even though she'd lived there for who knows how long, she could still remember the edge of poverty she'd lived in before her life had changed so dramatically. With memories still fresh in her mind, she hurried over to the piano in the corner, playing Clair De Lune by Debussy quietly. It was her favourite melody so far, and one of the first her Mother had taught her. It was her favourite, too. She let her thoughts drift away as the notes created a lovely atmosphere of nostalgia - at least, nostalgia for herself.

She heard muffled voices coming from Alan's room, and shook her head, smiling to herself. The two were the strangest pair she had ever met, and she only turned when she heard footsteps heading towards her. Her hands drifted away from the ivory, and she turned to face Alesso. "Master Alesso! Did I disturb you?" She frowned to herself slightly. "I am indeed sorry if I did so." She brushed her black hair away from her face with both hands, and tucked it behind her ears.

''Dreaming in white, splatter in red, blue faced terror I bid you goodnight.''
Valkyrie II: Lucuna || Varien





He smiled as the young girl in question that he wanted Alan to take out was at the Grand cherry oak polished piano. Such a lovely sight to see her in bright clothing, so vibrant and alive. Void like hair running down her back, like a silent hymn to remind everyone that though the star shined, darkness was there, but even that was like a siren's call. He could imagine her when she was older to have men at her feet. What a lovely sight that would be. Of course, himself and Alan would be the only men she would look up to, just as he liked it. He smiled, showing a bit of his sharp teeth, his pinky red hues bright and slightly pointed ears twitched to the notes played. But then they abruptly stopped.

He blinked, looking at Anais as she turned, her hearing was getting so much better with training... He smiled at her as she spoke, greeting him then instantly apologizing for disturbance that was none-existent. He made a small sound of entertainment before slowly putting his hand out and running his two fingers along the wooden piano, watching them before pressing a few keys. He stood taller than almost any man and Alan was even taller. He looked down at her with his reptilian hues, smiling continuously, his voice quiet and clear. ''You play this number almost everyday... A memorial of someone perhaps? How sweet. No doubt a female's influence otherwise your fingers would play the piano with so much pressure and rustic behaviours of a man's gentle touch, which still holds firm on a woman's hip. Such soft hands... Definitely a woman's touch was here. No doubt your mother's. May she rest easy and smile on her daughter to this day.''

He smiled to Anais slowly, turning to her and crouching down to her level, running a clawed hand with elongated fingers through her void like locks. ''No worries, Anais. We were just getting up. Alan is moody as usual with our.. nightly duties. He was terribly sick. I have told him to take you to the The White Smile. Perhaps a bit of outside time will be good for you, and him. He needs to socialize more. I am sure you can... keep him calm.'' He smirked some before making a happy sound. ''My devil in disguise~'' He chuckled before standing, sighing. ''I must attend to the hotel, much to do, much to do.'' He began to walk away, talking to himself, to create the checklist like he always did.

After he was settled into his attire, spraying some aftershave, he sighed as he looked in the mirror. Looking at the dark tattoos on his face down his temple area, even on his neck and ear. It was detailed, almost telling a story of his life... It was a part of him that held pain and achievement both. How he hated and loved it all at the same time. He brushed his hair of snow white locks, tightened his braids before making his bed and fluffing the pillows. Once he was happy with it he tried his hair with the blow dryer then headed out of his room, closing his door gently behind him. He was full of sighs today, rubbing sleep from his eyes and holding the bridge of his nose, shaking off some remaining part of his headache then he walked over to Anais.

One hand in a pocket, he smiled as he approached the pair and looked down at the young woman before her, so nicely dressed in her own creations. It was often that he would sit, watching her for hours with some wine as she created her clothing while he looked at his business stats. Often including her to get her eyes on it and to make sure she understood some things. He even thought that once she felt more confident, she could open her own shop with the many dresses she had created. She was very talented. ''Hello Anais, did you sleep well?'' He looked to one side before sighing lightly and smiling again. ''Perhaps we should go out tonight. Give you a chance to wear some of your night out clothing? How does the The White Smile sound? A few drinks and some dancing perhaps would be nice for a lady like you no?'' He smiled with a small chuckle to himself, nervous already at the thought of being surrounded by unknowns. But at least he would know two individuals... And they owned The White Smile. Nice connections to have no?

Anais watched as Alesso brushed his fingers along the keys of the piano, a beautiful, cherry wood instrument, and once again marvelled at how tall he was. He was incredibly tall, and thin, yet not 'lanky', as many of her generation would call it these days. She listened to his kind words, trying to hide the blush that coloured her pale cheeks pink. He was absolutely correct in the fact that it had been her mother who had taught her, and she couldn't hide the small smile that crossed her lips when he mentioned her mother. "Thank you for your kind words, Alesso." She thanked him quietly.

However, when he knelt to her level, and brushed his hand through her hair, she couldn't suppress the shudder that ran down her spine. She sat very still as he did so, though, and breathed slowly through her slightly parted lips. She was relieved when he reassured her that he that they were just waking up, which calmed her down slightly. He also told her of the plans to visit the club, 'The White Smile' - a club that had lower levels for vampires and Ghouls. Unsure of what they were doing there, but knowing that Alan was, in fact, a business partner, she nodded her head once before watching Alesso walk away, muttering to himself. She made a mental note that she would have to help him out later.

Alan had entered just as Alesso left. He smelled strongly of aftershave, and looked very attractive in his suit, with one hand in his pocket. She looked up at him from the piano stool and smiled at him in return, running a hand through her hair where Alesso had touched her. As he spoke, she smiled once again, before standing up slowly. She could pick up on his nervousness. "Don't worry, I'll make sure you're safe." She smiled again, before drifting back into her room for a few minutes. When she appeared again, she was wearing a black number, accentuated by a silver brooch that pinched the longer material at her hip. It was one of her newer creations, intended for the hotel, but since she hadn't actually been to a club before she had no clue what to wear. The black contrasted with her skin nicely, which also accented her facial features, and she wore no makeup, as always. She hoped she looked more appropriate than the blue silk dress she had been wearing casually, and smiled once again at Alan. "I'm not sure about the dancing, especially in my boots, but I can give it a go." She shrugged nonchalantly, as if it didn't really matter to her, before smiling again. She was nervous and excited for what they had in store.

Alan smiled before watching Anais stand and walk to her room, he walked with her but halted, staying at her door, leaning on the wall beside it, waiting for her. It was about fifteen minutes until she emerged in her lovely black dress, he looked at her, up and down, every detail then her makeup less face, so youthful and unblemished. She, indeed, didn't need make up. But maybe like most women, she would start using it at one point, his only hope for that venture was that she refrained from overdoing it and going orange or using so much eyeliner that she looked like she was punched in the face. In Las Vegas, women in short sparkly cocktail dresses, super high heels, dark fake tans and the overuse of perfume was quite common. He hoped that Anais didn't take their 'style' into account to her own, lest he have to hold her down and take the make up from her pretty face himself. He was a particular man but it was certain, he loved natural beauty and since he was from Africa, he was not used to such things as make up, heels or perfumes. He was quite unfamiliar with them, he put it down to attract the opposite sex but what of same sex couples? Very confusing.

Once he was done admiring Anais' dress choice and so on, looking at her boots he looked back to her face and smiled. ''You will be surprised what two feet can do barefoot, perhaps you will do better with protection on your soft feet.'' He put a hand on the small of her back and began to walk her with him to his bedroom, getting his keys, wallet and a side firearm. Taking his blazer off to put the harness over his shirt then put it on again. He then walked to Anais and smiled down to her, taking her out from his bedroom and walked her to the elevator, going into it and pressing the button to go to the ground floor. ''You look very nice Anais. Much better than most women around here.'' He smiled to her briefly before the doors of the elevator doors opened. He was hit with the wave of the scents of different people, loud music and people, his ears twitching to it all. He pinched the bridge of his nose as he stepped out from the elevator. Humming lowly to himself, speaking to himself. ''The night is young..''

He opened his eyes, his face along the casino as well as Alesso's and his father's. They were known, bodyguards escorting him and Anais to a car in the front of the hotel and casino. Closing his eyes every time a picture was taken to save his eyes the temporary blindness. Paparazzi going mad by his appearance and even more so to see him with a woman, no doubt wild stories in the news would appear on the new and newspapers when daybreak came into the dark sky. Once in the car, he breathed, looking at Anais. ''I hope you are okay... very overwhelming, I know.'' He folded a leg over the other after putting Anais' seat belt on her, seeing the cameras flashing before they left and started to drive, he put his own seat belt on. He looked at her again. ''You will like this club, we will get you a drink there. Perhaps you can try a few things there and get some food if need be.'' He smiled before fiddling with his cuffs, he often did this when nervous. It was a hour's drive to 'The White Smile' and he got out, waiting for Anais to come out, from there, he put his hand back to the small of her back, looking at the bodyguards at the front of the club, no doubt they knew his face. He tilted his head at the door. ''No doubt William is walking about now, perhaps he can sense my presence to.''

Anais was pleased with Alan's reaction. A light blush turned her cheeks a sherbet pink, before fading. He walked her to his bedroom, to pick up a few things, a hand placed on her back. She swallowed the fear that threatened to make an appearance, and steeled her nerves. She was not going to show fear. She had resolved that years ago.

After Alan had pocketed his keys, wallet, and a sidearm, Anais was ready to go. She could feel the silver knife in her boot, a comforting feeling to her, as it meant she had both protection and a little bit of family with her. They walked towards the lift, where Alan voiced his opinions on the dress, creating another hint of pink on her cheeks. As the elevator opened, she was hit with all the strange new smells she hadn't quite gotten used to yet. She could smell perfumes, the scents of people, and clothes, in the air and into her nose. She had to force herself to stand still and not recoil, because the scent was a lot stronger than she was used to, especially as a Ghoul. As a human, in her old life, before everything in her life went crazy, Anais knew that she could have never smelled the things she could now. Taking a deep breath through her mouth and holding it, Anais entered the elevator with Alan, and could soon hear the hum and hubbub of people in the casino, and the thud of the beat. Anais decided that she liked the stairs more than the elevator. There wasn't a falling sensation there, and it didn't smell of everything that had been in the room.

Anais soon picked up Alan's soft humming in her ear. She thought she recognized the tune vaguely, but she thought it was also her imagination. She decided not to ask, but let her facial expression convey what she was thinking - intense curiosity and intrigue to what the tune was. A little while after, she heard him mutter the words, "The night is young" and again, said nothing, but turned towards him with a confused expression. It faded quickly and the elevator door made a ding! and slid open. Once again swallowing her fear, she stepped out with Alan and watched with a sense of caution, yet she felt excited. She felt important when bodyguards escorted them past large portraits of Alan, Alesso, and Alan's father. The portraits still captured her attention, even with the real Alan beside her - even with him beside her, she was sure the Alan in the portrait breathed.

She was surprised when people began taking pictures, but only because they were of her. She expected Alan to have his photo taken by everyone, because he was rich, and owned the casino - but she did not expect photos of herself. She tried to hide her face, to protect her eyes from the near-constant flashing from the cameras. Only after they had escaped the paparazzi did she realize why there were photos being taken - she realized what she must have looked like to people who didn't know their story. She happily slid into the seat beside Alan, glad that she was out of the public eye. She breathed out heavily, eyes wide with the slight surprise of the whole experience. She sat back into the seat as Alan put her seatbelt on, and she smiled gratefully at him. The cameras continued to flash as the car pulled out and they were on their way, much to her relief. She nodded at Alan's words. "It's a little bit more than overwhelming." She huffed quietly, trying not to sound rude. "They're getting the wrong impression of us." She stated quietly. It was true, at least in her opinion. She listened to his kind words, deciding not to mention that she didn't drink either, but thought to herself that she might try some, at least tonight. She placed her hands over his as he fiddled with his cuffs, trying to keep him calm, as Alesso had hinted at earlier. "Master Alan, we're going to be okay. There's no need to be worried about anything. I'll make sure of it." She smiled reassuringly at him, giving his hand a quick squeeze before placing it back in her lap.

The car journey would be a long one. However, it passed quickly, and mostly in silence. She slid out of the car as elegantly as she could, observing a sign that displayed the name 'The White Smile'. She suppressed a smile, as a thought flitted through her head that it was perhaps a little ironic that a vampire club was named something they were so iconic for. Then they were off, weaving through the bouncers and bodyguards. Where to exactly? Anais wasn't quite sure entirely. Perhaps they were going to search for William, or maybe even have some fun. Whatever they did, Anais could hardly contain her nerves or excitement.

Every stripper and guard in that club was a pair of William's own eyes and they watched as Alan, Alesso and their lady Anais made their entrance followed by their flock of hungry camera vultures. Just what he needed. A body in his alley and cameras on his doorstep. William had made it to his office by the time word of their arrival reached his ears and he sighed. His bad knee throbbed angrily. "Offer them a private feeding room if they'd like and tell them I'll be there to greet them in a moment. I need.....some time." He said, a bit irritably to the young woman that had approached him. He needed to deal with a certain mercenary first. He pulled on a dark purple suit jacket and put on a striped green and purple tie that matched the pants that he wore then he placed a short maroon tophat with a hot pink feather tucked in the ribbon wrapped around the base. He looked tired but he willed a bright grin to lighten his face. "I have an expectation to uphold to be the mad rabbit of the White Smile." He muttered to himself, straightening his bowtie. He then stepped into the express elevator that went straight down behind the main stage.

"My boss requires your audience. Whatever sweet maiden you have calling you will have to wait." Robb said after taking a deep draw from the cigarette. "He's decided to offer you a free pass to a feeding room for the evening. As much blood as you'd like.....and women. Surely after such...." He glanced at the pile of blood stained ashes that spattered the wall and trash bins. "distasteful work.....you deserve a moment of peace and pleasure, after all....peace and pleasure is what we offer here."

Robb watched Carth closely, his icy blue-green eyes steady. He was quite a bold ghoul, with confidence enough to stand right next to a vampire without the slightest bit of concern. Then he gave up the sly ruse, knowing the man wasn't likely to skip out on his master's call for a night of partying. "This is a club, sir. Not some pit stop for you to take your dirty work. There's a price to spilling blood on this property. You will be expected to pay it."

''It is in us all to be living for something if not, then why exist? So long as you have a purpose you are fine, it doesn't matter if it changes, it just means you are growing.''
Emergency || Pegboard Nerds





Alan took Anais' hand this time around and watched as familiar faces that were bodyguards of William's look to him and his young lady beside him come over to them and escort them inside. Keeping the vultures of the news away from him and Anais, how kind. Once inside he looked around he looked at the woman that stood out the most to him due to her scent. 'Sauria..' He thought to himself. After all, he knew that smell well, he resided with one. He then looked around the for a moment, grinning to himself a bit as he looked at the dancefloor. One time he was here, Alesso was there, laced in glow in the dark make up, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Rather entertaining to look at it, he was a good dancer as well. He shook his head some. He could not believe the man got him up to dance that night. Apparently he was good too. Such a natural boost to one's confidence.

He looked to Anais and smiled to her before going to the front bar. Picking her up and putting her onto a bar stool then got seated himself. The bartender looked at him and he spoke. ''Cranberry vodka and cola for me. Lemonade and vodka for the lady, one shot's worth please.'' The bartender nodded and started to make the drinks before passing the glasses which were normal drinking glasses. He sipped his, his was more strong and for Anais it would mostly taste like lemonade. He turned to her and smiled before putting his glass to hers then sipping more. ''I think you will like that... it will taste mostly of lemonade. It is while simple but well, it is better to start small.'' He chuckled a little about that, mostly because his experience with alcohol landed him in the hospital. All because he didn't stop drinking. He had also vomited on Alesso. He was devastated when he had to bin his favourite loose top. But though Alan apologized to him for it... He actually didn't like the top and was glad it was gone.

''So, how do you like it, Anais? If you would like to go up and dance... I will go up with you. The music is good here.'' He took off his blazer, with his holster at the same time so that it was not disclosed and put it behind the bar as the bartender said he would look after it for him then he looked at Anais. Putting his clawed finger up to the song. ''This is a good song.'' Aero Chord || Boundless

Anais was glad for Alan's hand. She was quite overwhelmed by everything, but as they entered the club and the paparazzi were behind them, the shattering beats of the music soon drowning her thoughts and she grinned to herself. She had a feeling that it would be a good night, or at the very least, exciting.

As they entered the club, Anais almost thought that Alesso was around, or had been. There was hints of what smelled like him in the air, and Anais frowned. She doubted he was here, so she supposed another Sauria was here. That made sense. They walked over to the front bar, obviously going to get a drink of some sorts. Anais was confused. She'd never really taken shots and didn't know what went well together. She frowned, biting her bottom lip slightly, before she was lifted up onto the stool. That made her jump a little, and she flinched, before laughing out loud. She felt silly for jumping, but she swung her legs from the stool like a little girl anyway. Her feet didn't quite touch the floor.

Luckily, Anais didn't have to order her own drink, as Alan ordered her a lemonade and vodka. The shot glass was placed in front of her - a colourless, bubbling liquid that smelled strongly of alcohol. Slightly unsure, she picked up the glass and clinked it with Alan, before sipping at it. The bitterness of the alcohol exploded across her tongue, along with the artificial sweetness of the lemonade. It was strange, as the liquid almost counteracted itself, and Anais decided she liked it. Before long the liquid had disappeared, and her head was feeling slightly foggy, and she felt all the more confident. She smiled over at Alan and told him, "It's really nice. The bitterness of the alcohol and the sweetness of the lemonade kind of balance each other out."

If Alan had suggested dancing before the shot, Anais would have declined politely. Now, she smiled back at him and slid off of the stood with grace, her boots making a quiet thud as she hit the floor. The song that had been playing and a new one came on, something more electro, if that's how you could describe it. Not knowing how on earth she was supposed to dance in a club, she shrugged, nodded her head in response to the question Alan asked and took him hand and headed to the dancefloor.

At first, she had no idea how she was supposed to act, but after a few minutes she was jumping up at down with the rest of the crowd, and laughing. her head still felt strange, but it was blurred out by the dancing. She could not stop laughing, and eventually let the music drift her away.

Boundless || Aero Chord





Alan was rather surprised that Anais hopped off the stool. Watching her as he slid off his own stool and stood up at his full height that certainly made heads turn and eyes wander over his form like he was a rack of meat to hungry animals, drunk animals that is. But there was no doubt that there were even sober individuals looking. Alan, despite his quiet personality in the way of crowds was certainly something exotic, different and handsome. And if you wanted a tall partner, he definitely fit the bill.

He blinked as his hand was grasped by a daintier one, Anais's. The next he was pulled onto the dancefloor, instantly nervous but the drink certainly helped. He swayed to the beat, it was one of his favourite songs. The helped too and not to long in the future of the night he too was smiling and jumping up and down on the dancefloor, laughing as Anais laughed. He was aware of the eyes though... He couldn't help but be wary of people but her presence calmed him to have some fun. He kept her close though both because she calmed him and because the eyes over them... Drunk people were rude, they would steal a dance if they got a chance. He would not allow that. Not. At. All.

''Dreaming in white, splatter in red, blue faced terror I bid you goodnight.''
Valkyrie II: Lucuna || Varien





Since the early evening where everyone in his and Alan's home at the top of 'The Ivory Tower' Hotel and Casino and woken up and left him. More so for Alan and Anais to bond and wind down. He had been managing the Casino's incomes, customers in the high class suites, Getting bookings for birthdays, weddings and so on and finally guard detail, though admittedly Alan had always been better with the men and women. He seemed to be able to get on with all Vampiric races where himself had trouble often finding himself wanting to rip a few throats out. But once this was done he sighed in relief as he went back into the private elevator back up to his home.

After using a keycard only himself, Anais and Alan had to get into their home and he reached the top, the door opening and he stepped into his living room. He sighed, smiling and showing all of his sharp teeth and he threw his briefcase and wallet onto the couch. ''Finally! Away from work~! Time to get to the real work~ Fun fun fun...'' He rubbed his hands together as he walked to the open kitchen and he opened a cupboard and started to make himself a caramel latte. Humming as he waited for the water to boil. When it was done he poured his drink into a tall latte glass and put whipped cream, caramel sauce and chocolate powder over it and finally put it on a saucer with some chocolate. He would not lie. He loved such detailed and sweet things.

With that done he kicked his shoes off and loosed his tail and went to his office and opened a book with room designs, music choices, menus and entertainment ideas. ''Alright. This should get everyone into the casino for the Annual Charity Ball.'' He sat back in his leather computer chair, eating a bit of white chocolate as he spoke aloud to himself. ''Everyone loves Masquerade balls. Means you can be mean without getting told off.'' He chuckled before sitting up straight and picking up the office phone. ''Hello. Alesso Von Burgentine here. Oh great, perfect. So it will be ready for tomorrow night as planned? Oh great. Did the drapes and crystals go up alright then? Oh thank god. I would of been so upset if they didn't go up. I will get to sending out the invitations then. Okay? Okay.. bye, bye.'' He hung up and picked up the phone to see if food was getting ready then got invitations sent out to all the vampiric people of high class and middle class for the night to go on. And of course, ghouls were welcome too. No need to eat the servers and chefs now is there?

William appeared, flinging the curtains aside, cane in hand glimmering in the lights of the many strobes and stage lights which swung to face him as thick fog rolled out around his ankles. The beat throbbed a heavy beat that drove the crowd mad. He plucked up a microphone from its stand and walked forward, arms raised to the applause, tipping his hat to the ladies in the front who screamed in response. His eyes glimmered vibrantly a deep rose colored pink, his pupils piercing pinpricks. He could hear the roaring of the whispers even over the din but it only seemed to heighten the energy he felt standing in front of the croud. " Welcome all to the White Smile, where madness reins. Scream as loud as you can if you've brought forth the maddest of pleasures here! Scream loud as you can if you look forward to seeing the maddest of pleasures tonight! I guarantee you will find your madness and I beg of you just one thing for each and one of you. Enjoy. It. All. I am the mad rabbit himself and I say to you WELCOME TO THE WHITE SMILE!!!!!"

His teeth flashed white in the lights, fangs completely visible for all to see in that brief moment as he threw his hat into the air much to the crowd's pleasure. They screamed as the music went to full swing and the dancefloor writhed like a pit full of ants, pulsing with the ear shuddering base.

William's hair had become unkempt and strands of it fell into his face but he pushed it aside. He tried to ignore the figure that showed up in the shadows of his vision, knowing full well it was only in his head. Regardless of the repeated reminder he gave himself dread leaked into his gut and tied it into knots. He walked to the bar to order himself a drink. On the house of course since he owned the place. Just what he needed. Visitors and a mercenary, the last thing he needed was an episode. His gaze fell quickly on Alan and Anais and clasped his hands together. He knocked back the shot he'd ordered and called for the bartender's attention. "Anything they order will be on the house tonight, no charge, my orders. They're my guests."

With that he approached the pair after it seemed they where going to take a break from dancing. "Alan! It is nice to see you again, dear friend! Come, you must join me we should catch up and you must introduce me to this fine young lady." William bowed slightly towards Annai and took her hand to place a kiss on the back of it, charmingly. He smiled, flashing his white fangs again. "Come, let's get out of this noise I have private seating on the balcony."

'It should also be a perfect place to receive my other....guest.' William thought as he led the pair to the spindly staircase that led to the balcony. There was indeed a place roped off. There was another vampire up there but he was preoccupied with a few strippers and had a pitcher of blood wine to keep him uninterested in what they had to say.

"Come with me." Robb said, quite glad the man chose to cooperate. The guards closed in behind them once the man re-entered the club. Robb paused a moment to ask one of the dancers on William's whereabouts and they where pointed in the direction of the VIP section. He thanked the woman and led on. "Wait here." he commanded once they reached the top of the stairs.

William was seated with Alan and Anais. Robb came forth and bowed politely. "Excuse me, but the mercenary is here."

"What are you waiting for, bring him in." William turned to Alan and Anais. "This man seemed to think it was a good idea to spill blood on my property bringing whatever filthy business he had to my doorstep."

The guards led him in, Robb in tow. One of them put a heavy hand on the man's shoulder to have him kneel before William and his guests.

"Robb, fetch me some blood wine, the good stuff please top shelf, my personal stores." William said before looking to Carth. "You brought blood to my doorstep. I would like answers and payment. I'll take your hand if you don't have a better bid. The only blood I allow in, on, or around this club is blood from a willing donor. Anything else comes at a hefty price."

Anais didn't notice the eyes on the dancefloor - and quite frankly, she really didn't care. She thought Alan deserved the attention - he was an amazing person and deserved to be recognized, although she did wish they would leave him alone a little more. She could see why it was off-putting, and made people want to stay inside a lot more. However, she didn't show this on the outside, and instead continued to jump in time to the music. Anais was still unsure about the music, of course - it was very different from her own style, but the beat was very catchy all the same. She decided she liked it, even if the clouds in her head made her think so.

Anais stopped bouncing when a man dressed in a suit walked out, fog swirling around his ankles and lights hitting his skin, pallor with vampirism. Anais was beginning to notice the slight differences now - she saw them every day with Alan and Alesso. His eyes were also an odd colour... She listened intently as he began his speech, and listened to the crowd around her scream in response to him. He nicknamed himself the White Rabbit... Anais thought that perhaps this may be a fitting name. She supposed he was a Perturbato, as she had educated herself, although only minorly, in common vampire species. She doubted she had met one before.

She was as equally surprised when he showed off his fangs to the crowd of vampires, ghouls, and humans. She hoped the humans hadn't noticed, and smiled to herself. Oh, if she had spotted the signs when she was human... Maybe things today would be different. Stefan would have liked this club. Her being in it, however, she wasn't so sure about, especially as she was in there with an extremely tall, handsome man, and - Anais blushed and banished the thought from her mind. She wouldn't allow herself to think like that. They had saved her life, and they hadn't asked her for anything like that, so she would remain on friendly terms only, she resolved, and would not go down that route. She leaned over to Alan and whispered; "Is it wise of William to show off his fangs like that in public?" She looked up slightly, before returning to her original position. She could never quite sate her curiosity once it got the better of her.

Out of breath, but still trying to suppress giggles, she suggested that they sit down for a little. The clouds in her head were starting to dissipate a little, but she still felt strange, and wanted to sit. She had to remind herself that her energy levels, although a lot higher than they had been, were not exactly inexhaustible. She grinned again, and sat up straighter at the bar stool, turning her feet so they were pidgeon-toed, and put her hands in her lap. She looked over towards The White Rabbit and nodded her head politely in acknowledgement, smiling. He approached with a warm welcome, before bowing towards her and kissing her hand gently. Her cheeks turned a light pink, and she had to hide a laugh as she thought of how Alesso might react to this. He certainly wouldn't be happy.

She stood up, and followed Alan and William up to the balcony, where it was indeed much quieter, although she could still hear the thumping beats in time to her heartbeat. She could smell something strange here, too, even though it was masked by Alan and William. It was sweet and delicious and...

Anais knew what it was, deep down. It repulsed her to know that she was craving it, but she didn't need it, and if offered, would turn it down. Her eyes had lit up in slight fear and nervousness of the situation, as she had never really been treated this way until recently. It was concerting for her, but she swallowed her fear and forced it down.

I will not show fear. I must not show fear. I do not fear.

She repeated this in her head several times as they approached the table, her black gown sweeping across the floor. Her boots made comforting thumping noises as she stepped, as she knew that in her boots was her knife, and that was comforting to her. She smiled once again, and sat, before crossing her legs beneath the table. She listened to William's words, and spotted his Ghoul leading a man in, with a few spots of blood on his coat, and a plaster on his nose. Anais shot a look at Alan, something that conveyed her uncertainty of the situation, and her worry for the fate of the man. She ignored the mention of the blood wine, even though her gut twisted in her stomach. She wished she could tell them that she could offer her own, if they wished, but daren't speak out loud. She sat in silence, confused as to how the situation would play out.

''It is in us all to be living for something if not, then why exist? So long as you have a purpose you are fine, it doesn't matter if it changes, it just means you are growing.''
Boundless || Aero Chord





Alan stopped dancing as he saw William on the dancing stage to welcome and make his appearance. He looked right at the man as he spoke, seeing through the cheery exterior. Though he did pull Anais to him, just a bit of paranoia getting the better of him within the rowdy crowd, screaming out for the 'Mad Rabbit'. Rather ingenious referring to 'Alice in Wonderland.' Perhaps this was a human's dream though... How twisted desires made the innocent darken. All to familiar with their choking presence. He looked around as he thought to himself, wondering out of all in here... who were really innocent here? Then he looked down to the side of him at Anais and smiled a little to himself. There was an innocent... He saddened then suddenly. Though he saved her... Did he save her from one evil only to be housed with the next? He felt self conscious the next, a tight feeling in his chest brewing. It was getting harder to breathe all of a sudden and though he looked calm, the colour seemed to leave his face.

He had to lead Anais from the dancefloor once the dancing and loud music started to get out of the crowd. Once at the bar a small gasping breath came from Alan as he stared at the bar. Looking calm but it was obvious something was wrong as he loosened his shirt, well... to Anais anyway. Maybe to William in some sense but it would stand out more to Anais. Then William came over and he looked at him for a moment, swallowing down his anxiety before smiling. ''It is nice to see you William. I didn't think you would come from behind the curtain like me my office.'' He looked at Anais as she was greeted quite warmly before she whispered into his pointed ear beneath snow white hair and he looked at Anais and bend his back and whispered back. ''It is quite alright. You will find intoxication makes people rather... uncaring to teeth. Most likely think it is the ones you can get in shops.'' He smirked at Anais before looking at William and tilted his head playfully before smiling and nodding. ''Sure, that would be lovely.'' He bowed his head respectfully. *Always count on William to get you out of the crowds... Thank you for that...* He smiled, rubbing the front of his throat for a moment before speaking. ''Lead the way then.'' He then followed as William got moving to the Balcony. He did love William's balcony, he often found himself here not only for business either. He quite enjoyed the man's company in all honesty and he would like to think the man liked his too.

He sat beside Anais at the table, looking at her he watched her. Seeing her craving eyes... He was not her master. Alesso is. But he would... attend to her needs, by hers only. He was about to ask her if she would like to go to the bathroom and he would like to help her find it. Which was more of a... question if she needed blood but in a discreet manner. But Robb appeared, sitting beside him and he looked at him. ''Evening, Robb. You look handsome as always.'' He smiled before raising a white brow. ''A mercenary? Interesting.'' He watched as the said Mercenary was led in and he looked at him and instantly recognized what he was. ''Hm.'' He looked at Anais as she gave him a look of uncertainty. He looked at William as he spoke and waited for him to finish before speaking to Anais but aloud and looked right at Carth as he spoke. ''I would not worry Anais. He is no mere man. He is a Homo Vampyrus Draco.''

He folded one leg over the other and looked at Carth with a charming smile. ''Good evening, sir.'' His smile then left as he spoke further. ''It is quite simply. He, himself must clean up his mess. No need to litter now I should think. And the gentlemen that hired you. I would like his number. To discuss compensation for my friend here. The rules here are quite clear and they apply to everyone. So do not think this is some effort to separate you from the rest. In my eyes, we are all equal. Perhaps this is a new way of treatment you are not used to but with fairness comes gain in the end.'' He smiled before looking to William for a moment before looking at the guards keeping Carth at his knees, smiling to them like he knew them before speaking to them. ''Jaron and Mathius. Do step away from the gentleman. Let him stand. If he tries to do anything which I am confident he will not I will allow you to have your hand on him again.''

The guards looked at Alan before stepping away. From Alan's voice, an African origin, it was clear he was not from here and therefore, customs were not the same but perhaps this was a good thing... ''Please stand up. What is your name? I am Alan Francis White. You may call me Mr. White or Alan. I am not particularly bothered. Now, I would actually like to hear why you would break the rules? For what reason was it so important to break obvious rules that ensure a truce and peace between all the vampiric races?''

As he followed the ghoul, the mercenary noticed the sudden change of the atmosphere within the nightclub, the air contained a aspect of a frenzy within it as the smell of sweat, blood and other bodily odours grew thicker with each passing minute, something had riled the customers up something which Carth himself thought he'd rather be a part of than being stuck in the predicament he was now in. It didn't take long for them to reach their destination but no sooner as he made his way into the VIP room, he was forced to his knees by two of the guards that had accompanied him, "Prendre vos mains sur moi vous baiseur de porc!" He cussed in the language of his previous home land, his usually friendly demeanour gone at the insulting gesture of the two guards who were centuries younger than him as his one good eye tried to burn a hole into the two guards heads. "You brought blood to my doorstep. I would like answers and payment. I'll take your hand if you don't have a better bid. The only blood I allow in, on, or around this club is blood from a willing donor. Anything else comes at a hefty price."

On hearing the voice, his eye turned their attention towards the owner whom was none other than the ghouls master but unlike what the kneeling vampire was expecting he wasn't alone, two others were sitting next to him. One needed no introduction, even if he had never seen the extraordinary man before, his sources had told the Draco all about him and he himself had even done business with the other vampires subordinates. The second guest was someone he was not familiar with, a dainty young human who was just as easy on the eyes as Robb was but unlike the other ghoul, Carth could make out the slightly sour aroma of fear escaping from her; something which caused the vampire to relax a little at the thought of having someone in the room who possibly would not take pleasure in causing him pain. After having scanned the two guests enough he turned his attention to William, allowing a smile to his lips despite the situation. "If you do take my hand can you take the left one, the right is rather partial to me." He joked.

"I would not worry Anais. He is no mere man. He is a Homo Vampyrus Draco." The other man, Alan, spoke this time to his ghoul, to which Carth turned his friendly smile towards her, allowing his fangs to extend to their full length before retracting them shortly afterwards. After a few more words were exchanged from the giant of a vampire, some of which were addressed to the guards, he was allowed back into his feet much to his relief before being questioned by the politer of the two vampire. ''Please stand up. What is your name? I am Alan Francis White. You may call me Mr. White or Alan. I am not particularly bothered. Now, I would actually like to hear why you would break the rules? For what reason was it so important to break obvious rules that ensure a truce and peace between all the vampiric races?''

"Well I guess there's no avoiding it," He sighed out loud, his eye not leaving the two vampire as he did so, "My name is Carth Insidiatori and if you have never heard of me, I've obviously been doing my job right. As to why I broke the rules." He began, lifting the sleeve of his jacket to reveal a marking of the elder of the Dracos. "I'm afraid that one of my fellow Draco's had been disturbing the 'blood do ours'; mainly the humans and ghouls working under one of the companies owned by my master's son, to which I was given the task of putting down unless he brought suspicion to both the company and our world from the human authorities." He stated casually as he sat himself down on a rather lavish couch situated infront of them pulling out the last of his cigarettes and lighting it, giving the ghoul named Anais another smile as he did so. "So if you want some sort of compensation I would advice you to take it up with either, Petrov my current client and son of the already mentioned elder or to your local administer of the Perturbato elder." He took a drag on his cancer stick and exhaled slowly, attempting to savour the last of his packet as he waited for the two other vampires reply.

William shifted in his seat and sat forward, annoyance etched on his smooth milk pale face, his deep pink eyes flashing. "The elders." He said, spitting the words like a curse. "Perhaps I ought to cut Petrov's hand instead, is that what you're suggesting?"

He could see the eyeless demon of his madness blurry and flickering before him hissing and whispering curses and vile profanities a lipless grin drawn across his skeletal features. He bent low over Carth's back stroking at his shoulders and digging bloodied nails across his skin. William trembled slightly gripping his cane, jaw clenched. He locked his eyes on Carth wishing nothing more than to behead him where he stood. Surely the demon was insisting upon it. He was chosen, and he broke the rules. The only price for blood is blood. "I don't think Petrov or his father would be thrilled to know that they are required to both pay you and pay my blood price for your fuck ups." He smirked. "Frankly I think a man should always carry out his own dirty work. It's a virtue, to hand out your own judgement. To cut off the hands that wrong you.....on your own." He fingered his cane and clicked the latch locking the sword inside of hit. An inch of the thin blade was revealed. He stood and walked over to Carth till he stood face to face with him. "Frankly I find that cutting off your hand would be easier."

Robb placed a hand on William's shoulder and looked at him meaningfully. "Perhaps we ought to let him off on a warning....just this once. If Petrov finds you've mutilated his...."

"Dog?" William spat, staring at the nonexistent demon behind Carth. Robb sighed, he knew William better than anyone and could tell he was hallucinating again. It was effecting his judgement over the poor man. He gave Carth an apologetic smile.

"I'm just saying...last thing we need is to kindle a war over a mercenary. Like you said, this is neutral ground." Robb rubbed William's back. William shrugged away but seemed to see reason again. He sat back down and smoothed out his suit.

"I always require a blood price, how else is one supposed to manage a place like this. Vampires are dogs, viscous, ravenous dogs we feed and we fuck and we ravage and only ever listen to strength or age. A master who beheads his offenders is listened to. A master who gives second chances is taken advantage of. You know this, I know this, otherwise people like you wouldn't have a job." He pointed at Carth venomously. He snarled and waved his hand. "Get out of here, before I change my mind. Don't hunt here again!"

Alan looked at the man now standing, puffing on his cigarette as William obviously lost his sense to reality and fiction. Making him look to him then were his eyes glared to before frowning in concern. However he was relaxed by Robb's intervention as William snapped at Carth, threatening him with a blade he had seen a few times himself. It quite simply would not stand for him for William to cast judgement when he was simply not fit for it. So as Robb calmed him and he sat and smoothed his suit out, holding onto his cane for comfort none the less. He stood up after William spoke, looking to him with his amberish hues as he showed just how giant like he was. But he stood with grace his voice calm, words elegant with a exotic tune to it from his African heritage. His dark tattoos along his cheek bone, on his temple and down his neck where the rest of the tattoos were hidden showed he had a wildness to him. A differing of stance and opinion here.

So he stood to better his dominance in the situation as would his own people, long since departed and disbanded would. His eyes looking first at William and Robb. His words respectful but held a bite to it despite his soothing voice. ''Yet the very dogs you permit to walk your halls are mine.'' He looked to the guards, Jaron and Mathius that had backed off from his word alone. ''Dogs they are not. Savagery comes from their master and I am not theirs at this moment. A higher voice they listen to but the savagery falls to you William.'' He turned to look at the man as he continued. ''And they have names. It would not surprise me that you did not know them until now. Such a disappointment that you don't treat them as people but dogs. No wonder they still listen to me without reason.'' He walked to the guards and clasped his clawed fingers around their throats, picking them up and walking to put them between him and Carth. They showed no fear, relaxed just as he picked them up and put them back down. ''These men do not fear me, yet they know who I am. Forget suits, fine dining and wealth. Power does not come from strength or age. It comes from sacrifice, leadership and equality. Where numbers are, they more strength there is.'' He frowned as he looked at William. ''Don't use my people like dogs. If you want one. Get one.'' He looked to the guards. ''As you were.'' They pair of them bowed before going back to their place behind Carth.

Alan then walked to Carth and put his hand out, a white gold tie bracelet with rose diamonds in it was in his hand. ''Take this as payment. A gift or pawn it. Which ever tickles your fancy.'' He looked at the cigarettes. ''I am sure you will find use for it.'' He looked back into Carth's singular eye. ''But I would like your contractor's contact details.'' He smiled most charmingly. ''If you want something done proper, you do it yourself no?''
