The barely audible taps of heels hitting the ground could be heard as the woman made her way towards the entrance, only to be stopped by the younger of the bouncers. The boy was young and obviously taller than her. Way taller she noted as she had to tilt her head back slightly to look at his face. He was handsome, hardly any flaws on his bone structure. God, she even managed a blush as she imagined how her knife could cut into such perfect features to reveal the bones. But her daydreaming was cut off by the man snapping his fingers and waving a hand in front of her face. ”O-oh! What? My….I should be on your list under regulars.” Yes, Isolde has been visiting the place for a while now and even earned her spot as a regular. Not that she came to speak with anyone in particular or even to have fun. It’s just, well, her own damn business why she was here. ”Isolde Druantia.” Was the name she offered when he asked for it. The irish accent slipping out some at her annoyance as the other pretended not to find it. He must have noticed her annoyance because he shot a goofy grin her way and pointed to the list, letting her know she was on it and could step inside.
She walked past him, giving the man no more than a nod in answer to his words and stepped past the entrance and towards the inside. As always, she picked a table where she could see the entrance and all the possible exists, in case he showed up. As she took a seat, she moved to place her messenger bag on her lap, pale fingers adorned with perfectly cared for nails and cuticles moved to open the straps and gain access inside. The first thing she slipped out was a yellow folder labled as ”Mrs. Robinson #73” and placed it on top of the table. The next thing to come out from her bag was a sketchbook and a case that held all her favorite pens and pencils. She placed that next to the folder and moved to take one more thing out...A bottle of SoBe vitamin water and placed it to the side after taking one sip. She closed the flap of her bag and placed it next to her as she turned her attention to the files.
As she opened the folder, the first page contained a form. A death cert. To anyone who was in the morgue business they would have thought it was all in order. Well, all with the exception of the crossed off line of the name “Jane Doe” and how in pink marker it was replaced with “Mrs. Robinson #73”. It was just a quirk Isolde had, that whenever a no named corpse that no one came to claim showed up in her morgue, she could name them. Instead of calling them Jane Doe as per norm, she simply called them Mrs. Robinson. A simple and innocent quirk that despite others frowning at her for it, she kept. ”Alright...Mrs. Robinson, today I’ll attempt to finish your makeover” She added as she flipped the page. The first picture was of the deceased left profile. It was gorgeous. Perfectly arched eyebrow, eyes almost catlike in shape. Her nose was strong, but Isolde found that it complimented her lips and chin as well. ”Gorgeous...It’s such a shame though” She thought as she flipped the page to reveal the corpses other profile. The right side was missing the eye and part of her face had been bashed in with what Isolde could only assume was a meat mallet. She had several perforations and not to mention a deep gash on her cheek. She wrinkled her nose in disgust. The attack had obviously been done in a moment of rage, there had been no real finess in it.
In her years working at her adoptive parents morgue, she had seen many corpses come in from the hospital’s morgue. The murder cases always intrigued her, as it was an assassin's mark of art. Or so she liked to think of it. Most of them were messy or crude, much like Mrs. Robinson’s tactless killer. But others….Oh God, it just made her swoon at how some of them could be seen as gorgeous pieces of art. Her favorite had been and will always be the first Mrs. Robinson. A young woman of pale hair much like her own. Her body had been used as the pages for a story, a poem if you will, oh how she had memorized it from start to--Isolde paused in her thoughts and shook her head as her thoughts were taking her from the task at hand. ”Come now...You can swoon over art later.” She thought to herself as she opened her sketchbook and stared hard at both pictures, trying to imagine how to piece back the womans face back together before her eyes glossed over and she turned to begin sketching.
Forty minutes had passed since she had arrived and began working. She was almost done with the other side of the face, pausing as the young server brought her the ordered drink. ”Thank you.” She said to the young girl, eyes studying her and a smile slowly forming on her lips. She was gorgeous, like a doll she thought. Almost too perfect. It was sickening. People should not be that perfect! But then again, she felt her skin burn as the need to sketch her appeared inside of her. God, what she would give to be able to touch her even. Explore her unique bone structure and--”Isolde! Snap out of it. You have been staring at the girl far too long.” She sighed, knowing most people did not appreciate this type of behavior and she offered the young girl a smile once again. ”My apologies...You are just very beautiful. One day, you should let me sketch you. Thank you for the bloody Mary.” She let the girl say her piece before turning back to her work and letting her return to work.
Isolde stared at the drawing for a bit longer before letting out a sigh. She would work with that damn arch soon enough, she thought as she closed the book and file, placing them inside her messenger bag and turning to her bloody Mary. She eyed the dark red drink as it began to bubble and an eyeball floated up towards the top. ”Unhealthy, you look bloodshot” She let out a soft snicker at her own attempt at a pun or joke, whatever you might call her thoughts. Pale fingers dipped inside the drink and picked up the eyeball, drips of the red liquid leaving trails on the table as she brought it towards her line of vision to examin. ”Not much I can do, if I can’t see your iris….” She said as she stared at it for a bit more before leaning in and giving it a lick. God, the taste of metal made her cringe as she glared at the drink. As she should have expected, the tomato juice was really blood and she was far from being a vampire. Sure, blood was pretty to look at and study, but she had no real want to taste it. If she had wanted it, she would have drank water washed in pennies or something.
Turning her attention back to the partially cleaned eye, she noticed she could barely see the iris and frowned. She was not prepared to lick it clean and turned towards her bottle of water and placing the eye on a bunch of napkins, she began to slowly pour the water over it, washing off the blood. Once that was done she took some more napkins and wiped the table from the water escaping the first napkins. Once done, she bunched them all in the center. She would be sure to apologize to the server once she returned. But for now, her attention was on the eyeball. She turned towards it and began to frown. The iris was a simple, muddy brown. Nothing special about it really. She would not have minded, if there had not been a small gash on the side. It was damaged. Really, part of owning a business like this was representation! If they were going to serve eyeballs, the least they could do was use the proper tools to extract them from the eye socket. Shaking her head, she looked for the front pocket of her bag and took out a small ziplock bag she had someone spell with ice magic, making sure it kept everything in it refrigerated and dropped the eye inside before zipping it and placing it inside her bag.
Once her damaged prize was placed safe inside her bag, she moved to grab her laptop from inside the bag and placed it on the now dry table, flipping it open and using the face recognition option to unlock it and having it take her to the main screen. As it loaded up, she took a pen from her bag and giving her hair a twist and stabbing the pen through her hair, she gained a messy bun. Her eyes turned to the files opening before her, pictures on the side of the screen as she typed, pausing only to take the drink and sip from it again, cringing as the metal taste hit her tongue. How did vampires find this tasty? She thought as she took another sip and the cringe was less the third time around, making her shrug before putting it back on the table and immersing herself in her work once again.
