Khane sighed slightly. Shiia was up to her old tricks."Shiia, you, I, and Nana here all know full well that no such agreement has been made. If there had been, she would have said so earlier. The fact that you take me for a fool offends me. Please don't do it again, I hate having to bring out my work on my holiday." Khane's work was of course, death. He was an Assassian by trade, expensive too, because he was the only one who could guarantee the desired results the first time around, and quickly at that. Most others in his trade took months to prepare, Khane could have it done within the hour, given that the pay was right.

Dariel's form materialized from the shadows. What light dwelled within the confines of the Chalet grew dimmer in his presence but not to the point of complete darkness, all could still be seen. He walked gracefully across the room to a comfy seat and plopped down. The shade leaned back and watched the events occurring around him.

Flustering Nana nearly jumped out of her seat.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. I'm sure this will all work out with the sleeping arrangements."
She didn't want to offend anyone, or show her fear, which was clearly the true motive. For a second she glimpsed a shadow like man appear in the corner of her eye and turned around to see what a seemed a rather tall white haired man. Quickly regaining her thoughts she turned back to face Khane and Shiia. Nana then smiled slyly and placed her hands on her hips.
"You're absolutely right. Since we're here, let's enjoy ourselves."
Playing cool was the only thing left to do.
"Let's drink!"

Khane lifted an eyebrow at those last two words and literally dove behind the bar, popping back up with a drink mixer in each hand. He started bringing alcohol out of every variety, mixing drinks of every colour and sending them down the bar. His speed and proficiency were amazing, even by his own standards. Vampires, Screwdrivers, Rusty nails, Cosmopolitans, Zombies, Whiskey Sours, Pink Roses, Diablos, and his personal favorite, The Undertaker's Cocktail, all slid down the bar, a little spin being added on them just for kicks. He mixed faster and faster, juggling the mixers, spinning them over his knuckles, and never once spilling a drop of the precious liquid."Ladies and Gentlemen, step right up and take your pick, every drink is free, me, and 100% guaranteed to knock you right off your feet. Just don't touch the white one, That's for me."

Mmmmn.... Erica knew the scent of that sweat anywhere. That single scent that both her, and her unborn child recognized as they walked in the room. She lifted her head slightly, two black and purple pigtails bobbed in the air as she did. Yes...that blood...
She followed the scent until she found her fiancee sprawled out on a couch with two other girls. Her blood broiled as red hot as her eyes did. Glowing crimson encircled in black leather walked towards Khane with a stare so piercing, it could impale a tank on meth. She watched as he jumped to the bar, and she too changed her plan and direction.
She smiled, showing off a set of glass-like teeth, sharp as razors, yet charming as a snake. She sauntered up to the bar and smiled at Khane as she pulled up a seat.
"One glass of bloodwine. Preferablly with the missing fiancee." She said to Khane who was going bar-crazy.

Dariel cocked an eyebrow at the sight of the purple haired girl. She didn't look happy, in fact she looked rather angry, and the guy behind the counter didn't seem to be helping. You know what would make them feel better.... death. Why don't you just kill them all right now and end what ever is troubling them. The goddess had to give her two cents on the situation. "I thought I told you to shut up." Why should I listen to you? "Because your in my head when you have a million other people willing to throw themselves at your feet." Well they don't have rings that keep me from controlling them. "Does this b***h ever shut up?" I heard that. Dariel let out a slight groan at her answer.

Nana was pleased with her offer. She slowly walked to the bar, and tried to contain her excitement. Drinking, as sad as it was, was her only pain reliever, and an only friend for a long time.
"Mmmmm. The Zombie. Rum's deli..."
She paused. Nana couldn't comprehend what the girl sitting next to her had just said. After a moment she turned to look at the woman beside her, examining with her eyes.
It couldn't be. Khane...and that girl? A fiancee? No. Stop. This isn't possible. Could this mean he's more tamed than I've taken on? Maybe there was no reason to be frightened...

Khane ran a dagger down his arm and dripped it into a large wine glass, half filling it before leaving his arm to heal, the cut closing almost immediately. He downed his cocktail in one, then added red wine to the blood, stirring it quickly and sipping it down the bar. He quickly mixed another Zombie and slid it to Nana. He looked Erica in the eyes and smiled at her, a bartender's smile."Fiancee? Nope, no one like that come through here tonight. You sure you should be drinking that with a baby on the way?"

Erica's eyes grew wide at his words, turning from glowing crimson with black rims, to jet black with red pupils. She grasped the glass slowly, then began to squeeze. Within moments the glass shattered, and as if she were startled, she snapped back to reality, well....sort of.
With her eyes still the odd shade of black, she smiled, but the voice that slipped out from her lips was not her own. It was deeper, almost male.
"Ah, sorry about that. My little sister tends to exaggerate. She understands whom she belongs to, and about this pregnancy, well, with all things planning themselves out as we speak, it'll be gone by the end of the week. Anyway, the name's Max." With a raise of 'their' hand, Max reached out for a handshake. "My little Eri made a silly mistake is all. Anyway, your child will not come with enough luck. I guess this makes all our lives easier now doesn't it?" Max smiled a toothy grin, more malevolent than anything Erica could have mustered. Max pulled down Erica's hair, and let it flow all around 'them'. Max raised 'their' hand, which was now dripping witbh both Erica's and Khane's blood and licked it. "My my, no wonder she fell for you, you have the blood of one very powerful slut."
Max looked up at Khane after retracting his thought of a handshake, then continued to lick the blood while he waited for an answer.

Nana clasped her drink at this scene. She felt like she was trapped and had to get out. When coming here, she never felt that it would be more dangerous than the streets. This seemed to have proven her wrong.
No. I won't let this stop me. This has nothing to do with me. I'll enjoy my time.
She then quickly gulped down her glass, and felt the warm after feeling of rum in her throat. It soothed her. She placed the glass back on the counter and gave one last glance towards the couple before beginning to walk over to the fireplace. The bar seemed off limits to the likes of her at the moment. No matter how much she wanted to drink, she wouldn't risk her life for it.
To think of it. How many times today did I risk my life?
She then calmly sat down next to the fire, and closed her eyes.
Too much excitement, and not enough booze. I suppose I could always leave campus to get something for the night. At this rate, Shiia's offer to spend the night seems pretty good. Who knew the ordeal with Khane would take such a turn?
A giggle escaped her lips, like a sign of relief. She didn't want to do something she'd regret later.

Dariel's eyes grew wide as he witnessed what was happening at the bar. I like her. The goddess' words were the only ones that ran through the Shade's mind as he watched. He didn't even raise his voice at the goddess this time but rather kept a steady gaze on the bar.

Khane smiled gently. Whatever this was, he needed it gone, so he decided to drive it off the easiest way he knew without hurting him... refuse to serve him."Sorry pal, I don't serve multiple personalities, figments of the imagination, or self defense mechanisms" He sighed, Nana had bailed again. so many interruptions. And there was that freaky guy over in the corner. He was starting to twitch. Shiia, freaky guy, Erica/Max, Nana... Too many things to concentrate on. Too many plans. Not enough nicotine. He doubled over, threw up, and stood back up, a completely new look in his now bright green eyes. Normally his pale blue eyes carried the gleeful joy of a child, immersed in the wonders of a new world every day for him to explore... mixed with the psychopathic blood lust that the universe had only managed to dream up in its deepest, darkest, most terrifying nightmares. His eyes were now bright green, and filled with a combination of trickery, mischief, and malevolence in equal measure."Hello, would you like to guess my name?"

Now Dariel was really curious and wanted a bit of a better view of what was going on. He scanned the room with his eyes and saw a hanging fixture above the bar area. Dariel was a light Shade and would easily be held by the fixture. So he poofed from his comfy spot in the chair onto the fixture without a sound. The fixture didn't even move when he appeared on top of it. He gazed down from his perch and watched closely to see what would happen next.

Suzu who woke up from her Hazy sleep began to hear noise. "Geeze! So Noisy!" She yawned, and stretched. She noticed a "menu" 'Hmm.. They dont have the blood of Kindness?' She walked up to Khane, "Dont you have any human blood? I expect the sweet personality." She said, anyone would notice her fangs, but she didnt, something had her "fangs" attention. Though she was perfectly normal, cept her fangs, she felt very hungry. Her stomach began to growl. 'Shoot! I should get a bloody drink quickly, or a feast atleast!'
