"What's so wrong with drinking from a faucet? It's perfectly normal in some places." Said Sky.

"You all go ahead, I have to check out with the hotel." Said Alice. Alice then left the room and headed to the lobby. "I can teleport us back into the Rift Rider if that's alright with everyone." Said GC.

Chal stretched her back, "Yeah. Im cool with teleporting. Ziath abd Beta ran into the room, "Yeah! Teleport!", Beta yelled excitedly. Atlas and Veorie stood by Chal, "Yeah. Although I can teleport on my own", Atlas said.

"I would also like to be teleported." Said Sky. GC nodded and everyone in the room was teleported into the Rift Rider's game room, after a bit Alice walked into the game room.

Ziath and Beta instantly ran off. Uzali sighed, "Now there are two of them. Of well. I'll see you girls later", she said waving. Cindi began to walk toward the kitchen, "Im going to go find my husband. If I know him, he'll probably be eating".

GC stood up. "I think I'll go with you, I'm a bit hungry myself." Said GC. Alice looked at herself. "I think I may need a shower after last night, see you girls later." Said Alice. Alice then left and headed for her room.

Meya waved, and followed Alice. Chal grinned, "Anyone wanna go swimming? We do have a pool right?", she asked.
"We have more than a pool, we have an entire water park, pools, water slides, a wave pool, even stands that sell food, only roots work those stands though, and you have to order off a tablet using an electronic menu." Said Sky.
Chal pumped a fist, "Pool party!", she said, and took Atlas hand, "Come on A, we gotta get you a swim suit", she said running off. Veoire sat down, "I've never swam before...my memories say otherwise, but I cant trust them", she said.
"Hey, swimming is like riding a bike, once you know how you can never forget, and since your memories said you swim, I doubt that they'll tell you wrong, but I'll help you if you need help." Said Sky.
Veorie nodded, "Okay. Hey. Um sky? I dont have a bathing suit", she said, "Would it be okay if I borrowed one?", she asked with a nervous smile.
"Sure thing, follow me, I don't have much, but I do have a few spares." Said Sky. Sky lead Veorie back to her room.
Veorie followed Sky back to her room, "So, how did you get so many clothes?", she asked out of the blue.
"Yes Fate has a way of getting its fickle hand in everyone's business, doesn't she?" The duo stood outside the Gambit Building, there were a couple hours before the sun rose, and Akshasha bid her newfound companion farewell. "Well! I'm sorry this is turning into such a deal, I will see you tomorrow night, when I'm free again. Do you mind meeting me here? Navigating to the bar would take some of our precious time."
With that, Akshasha set out, going only a couple streets down from Gambit's and looking for a potential victim. She chose a young lady, walking the streets alone at night. The girl seemed intoxicated, and more importantly, completely alone, not even passing pedestrians. Without bothering with the small talk, the Vampire simply tackled her, crashing to the ground and sinking her teeth into the girl's neck, and draining her dry. The girl might've had family or friends that would look for her, the huntress cared not. She cast a spell, and the girl's body disintegrated into dust, scattered to the wind.
The Drow returned to her temporary residence, the apartment of a man she had charmed and turned, more or less, into a thrall. He dreamily smiled at her as she got home, but she simply pushed the man down and retired to her coffin. The sun rose and fell quickly, or at least it seemed so to the Dark Elf as she slept. In no time at all, she found herself returning to the Gambit Building. The moon rose as the sun fell, and Akshasha stood idly outside the Gambit Building, waiting for Gabrielle to rejoin.
Nodding absentmindedly when Akshasha mentioned meeting back at the Gambit building instead of inside of the bar, Gabrielle felt exhaustion quickly setting in and wondered if the Drow felt the same. Stretching her arms up high above her body to pop the bones up her spine and into her neck, the teen groaned a little, realizing she was incredibly tense. Making a note to find someone to give her a deep tissue massage, she returned her attention back to the conversation before waving a hand.
“Sure thing, see you tomorrow.” With that, Gabby was off, heading inside of the bar. She moved to the back room and unlocked the door. Slipping inside, she glanced around, swearing she smelled Renee.
“Dumbass…” Muttering, Gabrielle managed to lock the door behind her before collapsing into bed. It was strange for her to sleep most of the day, but she did, and the teen was soon getting ready to meet Akshasha. Moving back through the bar and around to the front of the Gambit Building, feeling a little better than she had been previously. Spotting her sort of friend, she waved at her while flashing a light smile.
“Hey! I’m glad you came back. Part of me feared this had all been a weird dream and you weren’t truly coming back.” The words slipped out before she could stop them and Gabby bit nervously on her bottom lip, hoping she hadn’t offended the Drow.
Gabrielle smiled at the Drow and waved, and the huntress found herself smiling back, a dazzling white smile. One that would have been too perfect were it not for the elegance afforded to her by her peculiar heritage. The mutant girl mentioned that she worried her midnight escapades with a Vampiric Drow through Wing City had only been a dream. How ludicrous, Akshasha thought, that Gabrielle might've accidentally dreamed up the innermost workings of Kindred society.
"A promise, is a promise, after all! And I'm afraid I'm no dream, quite the contrary to be honest." I'm more like a nightmare! The thought made her smile again, and start up a slightly manic fit of giggles. There was a short moment before she regained her composure.
Akshasha produced a flask of strong liquor, one hundred proof, and took a swig before replying "I um," she stopped to clear her throat, "The trail from last night led out to a small narrow valley just outside the city. We should start there, unless something new came up?"
“Well, the only thing new is that I swear I smelled my stupid sister last night when I got into the bar, but I might have been imaging things. If it was her though… she’s already gone and none of the staff said anything.” Shrugging yet again, Gabby started off down the sidewalk, wanting to get things going so she didn’t spend anymore of Aksasha’s time than was necessary.
“Where does that small valley lead anyways?”
