Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Nonono," Wham! Klyde managed to take the hit, since he was trying to move away from the other cross dresser, which nearly sent him over the bar the bartender grabbing his shirt collar and hauling the vampire up.

"Trying to shut down my bar are you?" The shemale hissed, a fist coming back to nail Klyde again.

"Nonono, It's a misunderstanding!" Klyde tried to yell out a hand coming up to catch the fist coming for his face. God bless brute strength and quick reflexes. "We have no idea what he's talking about!"

The cross dresser than had attacked Desmond tried to pull back the hand that the vampire had caught, though he was quick to throw the other one. "Liars. You're just a bunch of haters trying to take away places like this where we can be ourselves!" The man bellowed out.

"I heard that too!" Someone else piped up.

"Yeah, I heard someone else talking about it, it must be true." Someone else chimed in.

Soon the bar was a brim with angry chatter, the trannys coming in from all directions shoving and pushing their way trying to get at the two boys at the bar.

"s**t....RUN!" Klyde yelled out trying to pull back from the bartender and keep his shirt intact.

Meanwhile, Suto took up residence on the back wall witnessing their handy work in all of this. It seemed like quite the riot was starting up.

"I don't think this is the best time for movie references," Klyde yelled out as Desmond jerked him forward through the crowd. Man, what a nightmare. Klyde was dodging punches left and right but thank god he and Desmond had speed on their side.

Near the end Klyde had to shove a few people out of the way who were determined to block their path to the door but finally they managed to exit, nearly charging into the street. Klyde didn't bother to look back, the bar was in an uproar where it sounded like a fight was still going on. He by no means wanted to stick around to see if they would be followed. "Let's get the ******** out of here." He yelled taking off for the nearest alleyway. A creature of the night was better left to darker places after all.

Suto was rather enjoying this though...Lou's pun could have used some work. Do his best to keep from doing a face palm, Suto simply pinched the bridge of his nose lightly before he looked back up to see what had become of their prey.

It looked like the boys were having a heck of a time but they were quick to take their leave. "Looks like our little mice are on the run," Suto said with a grin. "Best not to let them get too far ahead. Wouldn't want them to get too comfortable." Suto said peeking out the door before exiting. It looked like the two junior vampires were headed somewhere dark. How excellent.

"But you can't run from me, I'm the boogieman." Suto finished with a slight chuckle. "No need to hurry, Lou." Suto said, his own pace becoming more casual. "I have a little greeting party in mind for them. We'll see how our little vampires hold up against other creatures that go bump in the night." As Suto spoke it was easy to see the shadows shifting on the street and heading toward the alleyway with high speed.

Once they had made it a fair distance down the alley Klyde finally slowed down feeling a little safer. They had escaped and if anyone had followed them they could be easily dealt with in the darkness of the alley.

"You really think someone spread rumors like that on purpose?" Klyde asked slowing down a little more so that he could fall into step with Desmond. "Someone probably just saw me and recognized my face from one of those stupid magazines or something and got the articles they were reading mixed up in their head." It seemed like a good enough explanation.

But when Desmond mentioned going back to the dorm Klyde looked a little deflated. They really didn't hang out anymore so it felt like their activities were being cut short. "You really want to head back? I mean, there are plenty of other places we can go to-" Klyde was cut off as he suddenly tripped over something. He hadn't seen anything in his path so it had come as a complete surprise to come face to face with the pavement.

Grumbling a bit he started to push his way up, the shadow that had tripped him shifting a little flatter and moving to a different spot but managing to brush up against Klyde in the process. Looking back when he felt something touch him Klyde's eyes searched for a moment but there was nothing there. Nothing that could have touched him nor anything he could have tripped on. Maybe his mind was playing tricks on him? "Desmond? Do you see anything?" Klyde asked as he stood to his feet dusting off.

Another shadow had moved up behind Desmond, long tendrils of black snaking in around his shoes. It tried to keep with the darker shadow that Desmond cast in the alley so that it wouldn't be visible to the vampire's excellent night vision. Without warning those tendrils latched onto his shoes to do what the other had done to Klyde and send him to the ground.

"Moldy....crumpet?" Suto couldn't help but question that one, though he knew he would probably pay for it in the end. That aside they had some planning to do as they made their way toward the alleyway. "I know how much you enjoy seeing the boys suffer. I'm just toying with them a bit, building up the suspense until we get there. They think themselves creatures of the night but why don't we show them what true monsters can do?" Lou always did bring out the best in the scientist.

"I think there's something here..." Klyde said about to take another step when his fellow vampire met the concrete as he had done only a moment pryer. Okay, now Klyde was a little on edge. Neither he nor Desmond were clumsy creatures, they could see fairly well in the dark to avoid obstacles...so what the hell was here?

"What were you saying about going back to the dorm?" Klyde asked, keeping a watchful eye out as he leaned down to help his friend up.

As the vampire focused his attention on Desmond a mass of black sprang up from the vampire's shadow. The form grew to nearly the same height as Klyde, a constant shifting mass slowly taking on a more human like shape. It was silent, even against the quiet of the alleyway. As its arms came up toward Klyde, claw like fingers formed from its hands twitching and flexing as if ready to attack. In the last instant a small hairline crack form across the creature's lower face that suddenly opened up onto a white void, the opening twisting up into a smile as the creatures hands grabbed for Klyde, one falling over the vampire's mouth and the other around its middle.

Desmond was no exception from the action either. While Klyde was busy with one creature another was creeping up behind the junior vampire. It first brushed up against the boy, a gentle caress before it vanished into Desmond's shadow to avoid being seen. For a moment it waited there until it sank underneath Desmond making his shadow shift and come to life underneath him. All at once long tendrils of black shot out at the vampire gripping at limbs and clothes to keep him close to the ground. The substance looked almost like tar but proved to be much stronger.

"Ah," was Suto's response to Lou's little explanation behind his nickname. He was certain the older vampire didn't put any thought at all behind the names so that was just something off the top of his head. It was amusing none the less.

"Hmm, so what to start with," Suto lapsed back to the subject of the boys in the alleyway. "What do you think drives home fear the most for them?" The scientist was rather amused thinking over the variety of cruel things they could do with their prey. "I guess we could experiment. I do like to experiment."

Klyde try to yell out but whatever it was that had a hold of him had a hand over his mouth. A strange clawed hand. The creature seemed to be dragging him toward the darker parts of the alley but Klyde had to wonder why.

Struggling the best he could to get free, Klyde had to wonder if this was some sick prank Riyo's grandfather or father had cooked up. The principle behind the magic seemed similar and it was obvious they didn't like him. If only he knew the creatures before him weren't a creation of the dark arts but something else.

The creature holding Desmond down started to wrap around the vampire like a cocoon, pulling Desmond feet first toward the wall. When it was close the creature started to ascend with the vampire in tow keeping him upside down for the time being. As it continued to climb the tendrils of black wrapping Desmond up started to take shape, one of them forming into a hand that gripped at the vampire's arm.

Stepping up to the alley, Suto peeked in seeing that the boys were being separated. Divide and conquer. "Would you like to double team or choose your victim?" The scientist asked not worried about being seen. The boys were probably too busy trying to figure out what was going on.

"Yes," Suto agreed. "I was looking forward to tormenting our little blonde night dweller. The creature with Klyde should listen to whatever you tell it. So enjoy." Suto mused before he slipped into the alleyway, his attention on the vampire that was slowly being pulled up the wall.

His ears caught the tail end of what Desmond had said, that smile broadening all the more. "I'm sure I can help you find your way back if you really wish to go." The creature holding Desmond came to a stop midway up the wall, it's body constantly shifting and moving about feeling like bugs crawling along the skin.

Through his struggles Klyde managed to pull the hand away from his mouth, eyes glowing fiercely in his anger. "Let go of me!" He yelled trying to pull the rest of his body free but whatever this was it was strong. Klyde had never known himself to feel so physically weak before.

Klyde's eyes widened the instant he heard Lou's voice, though he continued to struggle against his captor. So he and Suto were behind this? When the elder vampire finally came into sight, Klyde's eyes narrowed at all the colorful things he had to say. He knew Lou enjoyed getting under their skin, but Klyde's problem was that was very easy to do.

"What the hell do you want?" Klyde hissed. Apparently he was mad enough to talk back, at least for now.

Suto did not hide that demonic smile like he usually would, that wicked grin pulling back his mouth in an unnatural fashion. "Saw you at the bar, didn't want you to leave before I said hello. I see your little pet isn't with you today. Keeping her locked up in her room for safe keeping since you obviously can't protect her?"

Klyde let out a grunt as the fist met his stomach, unable to pull away and avoid the punch. He had forgotten how much stronger Lou was than Desmond and himself. While they had a great deal of strength beyond that of a normal human and Lou had quite a bit more strength than them. And that cheeky smile he wore...that b*****d.

Letting out a low growl, Klyde took in what else Lou had to say. "That's the same crap my so called father spouted. Maybe I don't want to exist like that anymore." The creature behind Klyde tightened its grip on the vampire, its form breaking up and turning into long tendrils of black that wrapped around him to limit his struggling. "And get this ******** thing off me!" Klyde growled redoubling his efforts to struggle and get free.

"Oh? Not afraid of me are you? I'm sure I can change that." Tilting his head in an almost curious way, Suto spoke to the creature that had Desmond bound. "Bring him down will you? There's no need to be gentle about it."

That was the only warning Desmond got before the creature let go of the wall it had been clinging to, descending with Desmond toward the ground. As they hit the creature moved its body away from the point of impact only to slither around Desmond once again.

Moving toward the vampire Suto knelt beside him reaching into his pocket and pulling out a scalpel. Apparently he carried them with him at all times. "I wonder, Lou never lets me do anything to him, how quickly can you heal? What can you tolerate? What would bring you to your knees or make you writhe in pain? What would make you wish you were never brought into this world?" They were all curious questions that Suto would love to find the answers to.

"I am a man of science, dear boy. It's my duty to find answers to questions such as these and many more, but there are things I have questions to that slicing you up simply wouldn't answer. Like your interest in a living girl. I would like to know your thought process on how you think that would work out. If you didn't by mistake kill her on your own one day what happens when she withers and dies and you're still as young and full of vitality as you are today?" Suto twirled the scalpel in his fingers for now, looking down at Desmond with amused interest. "Though I guess I can understand, your parents aren't in the normal frame of mind for a vampire. It would only make sense that they would teach their child to uphold a useless notion that the living could co-exist with them."
