"There's corruption everywhere - it's what you do about it that's important," Jeni spoke softly. "And I don't...mean just fighting it. Using it is a good weapon as well." She grinned wryly. "It's just what people are like, and how more obviously is it than a place like this, with all kinds of people from all kinds of worlds?" She paused for a moment, turning her head to look inside the building.

"Speaking of," she added. "What are you both?" She looked back and forth between Lumia and Shun, as if trying to place in her mind the name of their people, incase she knew it already.

"That was the government's army?" he frowned, "The way they were acting I would have thought them to be more of a fancy street gang."

Shun sneered at the thought. While his roots were pretty deep into crime and he had taken the lives of targets and bystanders alike himself, there was just something about actual government issued soldiers raiding the streets that put him off. Weren't those people typically supposed to protect people? Corruption was indeed all around.

"Cowardly lot too for that matter," he grumbled under his breath.

Looking over towards Jeni, he shrugged and answered simply, "I'm a human."

Why was everyone asking that? Lamia mourned for the days where she could hold a decent conversation without having to be nebulous about her...heritage. "Human as well," She said quickly. "We're both from Earth, though perhaps," she glanced at Shun, "Not the same Earth. Are you a human as well?" Lamia asked Jeni, hoping to move the conversation topic over to her.

"I'll take it under consideration," Seist said slowly in response to Rivek's warning, "I suppose since I'm standing here breathing and talking my death doesn't feel terribly real. Like a half-remembered dream. Perhaps I still do not fully grasp my situation though..."

He trailed off, allowing himself to be transferred to Lurp's keeping without any further comment. He'd just have to see for himself if Rivek was merely being modest. Regardless of appearances, he seemed like an interesting person at the very least.

"I say we go find an inn," Seist said, "One that isn't blown to pieces. With a functional kitchen. I don't know about you two, but I certainly need some rest."

"A human, how sweet!" Jeni smiled fondly at Shun, and then at Lumia, but her expression suddenly changed. "Me? A human!" She placed her hand on her chest, clearly afronted, then seemed to realise herself. "I appologise, I didn't mean to be offensive. I'm afraid it's a common misconception but despite appearances I would no more consider myself to be part of the Children of Earth than I would an earthworm or a rock. I am a Torcotuan. I'm not saying that being Torcotuan is, ah...perfect, far from it, but it's who I am and I can't change that." She hadn't intended to make such a speach but she felt it needed to be explained, she'd had to do that quite often since her arrive here some ten years ago. Shame there's no printing store, it might be easier to get it put onto paper and just hand out. The thought made her smile to herself.

Briefly, Shun looked to Lamia as she said she was a human, but he didn't say anything of the matter. He did recall that she had been trying to keep that under wraps and he couldn't really blame her. Vampires didn't have the greatest reputations as a race.

Turning his attention back to Jeni, he furrowed his brow, unfamiliar with what she had said.

"A Torcotuan?" he repeated.

Her unexpected reaction was quite pleasing to Lamia. That sputtering indignation usually meant that whatever statement that was just uttered likely drew just enough affront to distract, but did not quite dredge up anger. Usually, she accomplished it with a question of clan, but she supposed that race was the mortal equivalent. Lamia put a polite, curious expression on her face at Shun's question.

"How can I describe Torcotuan?" Jeni wondered out loud, brushing a loose strand of her hair back behind her ear. "Arrogant, decadent, sometimes cruel and scheming, we are a people very interested in ourselves. They say that to see how a people are you should look at how they treat the unfortunate in their society, well...I judge us on the only thing I know first hand, how we treat our slaves, and the answer is...just as I said." She smiled softly, hoping the humor would be recognised by her companions. "As you can see we do appear to be like humans in appearance and I understand that we do share their - your - genetic makeup, but Torcotuans are Torcotuans and Children of Earth are Children of Earth." She hoped that would make sense to them.

"If either of you are hungry," she added, anxious to appear concerned for potentially insulting them. "I could fetch something for you, there's a rather nice bakery across the plaza that appears to still be intact?"

It sounded as if the Torcotuan were rather similar to humans but were a different people over all. At least that was what Shun got from that. In any case, the specifics likely wouldn't matter all that much to those who didn't care who was what all that much.

Raising an eyebrow at the mention of food, he glanced back in the general direction of where she seemed to be talking of. Pickings had been a little slim the last few days due to his money situation, so getting something to eat sounded pretty damn nice right about now. The mention of food sparked up some hunger that had been lying dormant within him.

"That.. doesn't sound like a bad idea actually," he mumbled.

"How delicious," Lamia thought. Arrogance was something she had acquired a taste for in her years in the hotbed of vampiric politics. She was no stranger to it either, but this was not the time to indulge any such whim.




"Why don't you two go ahead, Lamia smiled. "I have to keep guard, and I'm certain you both would prefer a nicer place to eat than sitting in front of a charnel house, especially a Torcotuan;" she flattered gently. "Why don't the two of you eat and return, if you don't mind keeping an old guard company," she laughed. "I have no stomach for food."

edit: Oh, forgot to mention, I'm going to have to step out for a bit

"It seems unhappy to leave you all alone Lumia, none the less," Jeni smiled, amused by the woman's assumption that she had been describing her very own traits in that sentance. "I will go and bring back something for Shun - are you sure you wouldn't like anything?" She tilted her head to the side. "I am happy to provide it as...my treat, for your efforts in defending the Inn."

All in all, it didn't matter to Shun if he went with or stayed behind. It also didn't matter to him where he ate. Food in general sounded excellent. Keeping his hands in his pockets, he looked between the two and shrugged.

"If you're fine with running to get something, grab something cheap and I'll pay you back when you return," he said.

[Luna_et_Noctis]

"Very well," Lamia acquiesced, "perhaps something that I could keep until I am hungry, then please? Thank you for your generosity." She inclined her head. "Maybe I can give it to Shun later if he is still hungry," she thought.

((Sunlight? oh noes! I thought it was night ^^))

Today was another full day of sneaking and running and hiding and sneaking again. Teagan was starting to find these little groups of people useful to spy on. While she was too unsure of herself to approach the groups that formed after the attacks, they were finally producing the gossip and knowledge of Serendipity's politics that she needed so desperately for her report.

At noon she returned to her new workplace and home, glancing over her report one last time. It contained several eyewitness accounts of the recent attack, as well as general information about the city and the average person's take about why these attacks occurred. Unfortunately the only thing missing for now was an eyewitness report given by a local- the strangely dressed people that avoided the "outsiders" like her.

Teagan had by now learned that most outsiders believed themselves to have died, in order to come here. There was talk of magic and the afterlife, but for the most part she ignored it- at least for herself. As long as she believed herself to be alive, and just misplaced, she was useful and productive. Trying to entertain the thought of Purgatory only brought her to a state of emotional chaos. So she walked into the lobby, smiled at Samantha, as she would if this were any job, any day, in any city she'd become familiar with. For now, denial in small doses was exactly what she needed.

"Good afternoon Samantha," she said, trying to match the woman's cheeriness. "I have a completed report about the recent attacks, and the woman involved. It took me a lot to get this information so I hope very much it pleases Mr. Fletcher. I know I could get more but I figured he'd want this sooner than never, you know?" She sighed.

Maybe I should still talk to people one on one. I just don't know. I just really need to get paid.
