First time in Central Park [Open]

[gareth]

Gareth could barely contain himself with glee. The possibilities here were endless. More fun than he'd had in at least a hundred years. Life gets boring when you count years as a human would count days.
This male from Chicago was clearly completely fallen for the female's charms. And if he had his facts of the city correct... The fledgling of Ruban? Oh yes this was going to be so interesting, all he needed now was for that half-wit, Shaden to come along and make the atmosphere tense... Or possibly.
Perhaps he was thinking this all wrong. Thrill of the hunt?
The idea struck him with such brilliance that he almost shouted with enthusiasm! Oh yes, he would scare them... but let them barely escape. Perhaps making them think that a scout of this coven the male feared was here already. Yes and when they started to go on the defensive then the game would be on. Oh yes!
He would first frighten them to be wary of him and be prepared for him to the best degree that they could and then he would hunt them.

He stalked closer and let himself circle around them, slightly upwind. Inching closer... he was now close enough he could smell them easily, they would be able to detect him soon. Oh the games he would play!

Prey was so much more fun when it could think of way out of traps...

"I think you could convince him, he gets very bored..."

She hesitated, not liking to talk about Ruban behind his back. And especially with Talon. Things could go very wrong here, she knew. Ruban would want to know why she was talking to him in the first place, when he'd more or less ordered her to stay away from other vampires. After a fashion, she did respect him. And sometimes love him. She didn't want to lose him, no matter how romantic Talon's battle was sounding. And Talon himself. Guilt hit her somewhere in the gut- this was a position she had never been in before. If she cared so much about Ruban, shouldn't she be totally disinterested in the vampire she was talking to? Her eyes flickered away from him, she looked out over the darkened park.

"He wouldn't have wanted me to talk to you."

She said quietly. The thought of telling her sire about the stranger she'd met hunting in Central Park grew less and less attractive. Her ink-dark eyes turned back to Talon. At the very least, she couldn't bring this stranger to their apartment. Trust had nothing to do with it, it was sheer stupidity to show someone where they lay helpless in the daytimes.

"It's alright, I'll get him. Wait here for a minute."

She flitted away with vampiric speed, a bright spark in the night that dissapeared quickly into the shadows.


((ahahah paging Ruban to thread!))

[talon]

Talon cocked his head curiously after she sped away to find her sire. Did he hear a faint rustling close by? Probably just the night life of the park.
Waiting for Morgan to return (he didn't have any other engagements to be rushing off to of course), he clasped his hands behind his back in a military posture and began to look away into the darkness... into his own fantasies which unfortunately already included a certain female vampire he'd just met. He hoped she would return soon, though he had a feeling her sire probably wouldn't be completely open to his situation. Perhaps if he could convince him to keep her as minimally involved as possible...

[gareth]

Almost grumbling to himself, he had sat just outside of their vision for almost ten minutes, the female had flitted away to find her sire and the male wasn't even noticing him! Damn, he was more taken by that female that he had originally thought.
Gareth took a steadying breath and relaxed. Calm yourself, hunter. There will be plenty of time for the chase and it will be a bit more interesting if the sire is involved at the beginning as well...

He waited while watching the male from Chicago fantasize about the female... how disgusting. He hated saps...

[talon]

((I vote for ganging up on Gareth, he's only one vampire lol, just joking that would ruin the suspense, though really when you return with Ruban I can't see a 3v1 going that badly. But either way I'm going to sleep, I'll be back continuing again tomorrow probably.))

[artistgayle]

Ruban was perched in a tree downwind of the entire situation, he often fallowed his young Fledgling on her hunts especially after what happened with that Shaden character, he sipped at a crystal glass of wine, watching everything, a smile spread across his face, even though he had told Morgan to stay away from strange vampires, he could see the curiosity was more then she could handle, however he was proud at how she handled it. He wore a red silk shirt and black pants, a long black cape hung around his neck and fluttered in the wind. Something he didn't like however was another vampire was watching them as well, he didn't like this character at all and was very wary of even making his presence known. He finished his glass and hoped out of the tree just as Morgan ran by, grabbing her and pulling her into an embrace "Boo" he whispered in her ear with a playful smile he had been drinking but not enough to get him drunk, he was loose and relaxed and appeared to be up for a little fun

[morgan]

Morgan yelped in surprise as Ruban grabbed her out of nowhere, grinning suddenly as she realised who it was. Perfect! Though maybe too perfect, he was probably following her. He was in a good mood though, and it rubbed off. And he'd been drinking. She could smell it on him.

"Ruban! Why, what a suprise!"

She leaned into the embrace, still grinning. With her bowed lips close to his ear she whispered to him. Her dark eyes flashed with joy.

"Just who I was looking for. I've got someone I'd like you to meet-"

Her voice cut out suddenly and she stiffened in his arms like a startled cat. Her lips curled unconciously to bare the tips of her fangs, and she stared into the shadow where Gareth lay hidden. A hand went to where she'd taken to carrying a slender knife, slid into the top of her boot.

[artistgayle]

Ruban grinned playfully at his childe, his hand went and rested lightly on the hand that went for her dagger "Easy my childe" He whispered his voice comforting "Be away of his presence but do not allow him to know you are aware of him....relax" he whispered just so she could hear him

"Now...about this new friend of yours?" he said with a smile straightening up he loosened her slightly so he could see her

[morgan]

The tension went out of her, and her hand moved away from her hidden dagger. Though she did move slightly more carefully. She managed an easy smile, looking at Ruban's calm expression was reassuring. This other one couldn't be that dangerous. Her eyes didn't stray again to where Gareth was hidden as she slipped from his arms.

"Right this way, dear teacher."

She led him the short distance back to where Talon stood waiting, stepping into the light again. In total she'd been gone only about ten minutes. She hoped the hidden vampire wouldn't notice. They approached Talon at a leisurely pace, as he looked up she gave him a brief smile. Her nerves screamed, she wanted to tell him about the spy- but the other vampire was probably within earshot.

"Ru, meet Talon Consance."

[artistgayle]

Ruban smiled politely and bowed in a gentlemanly manner, he found this vampire interesting, he was young...well younger then himself but he carried himself like an ancient, he also appeared to be somewhat guarded, with the conversation he had over heard he was sure the vampire had his reasons "It is a pleasure to meet you Talon" he said taking a not so formal approach to counter his overly formal bow. He stepped closer more into the light a daring thing to do, and something he didn't do often, must be the wine, he folded his arms over his chest and stood there a calm practiced smile, a mask of politeness, on his face. "My Childe has told me you are in need of aid and possible allies" he looked around "But we are not alone...shall we to my place where we can relax and talk in privacy?"

[talon]

((Hold on, I've angered my girlfriend. I wasn't paying attention to my character's emotions and I was making him too flirtatious. I'm sorry for delaying but I won't keep writing until I get her okay on it. If I don't continue, I'm truly sorry for ditching you in the middle of the storyline. I'll ask her tomorrow.))

[morgan]

((Um ok, can't say I understand but do what you have to I guess ))
