Libby
Libby was drinking another beer when she felt it. No, that was incorrect. It was when she felt him. One second her eyes were on Seth and then the other, Vincent was there in all of his glory. A smirk tugged at her lips but the demon forced herself to show no emotion through her face especially when Seth started conversing with him. If he was out, then he had a charge. She had picked up on two girls with him but that did not say much where he was concerned. Libby tore herself away from her groupies and ended her hold on them as she made her way over to the two men.
Her butt found the seat on the other side of Seth just as he had finished making his request. "Well, you should be able to find that him in him. He's just as manly as a demon can get. Of course, Vassili won't be too happy to hear that but whatever." The demon pulled on her beer, her eyes going crimson at the sight of Vincent again. When was the last time that she had seen him. What was the last story that she had heard where he could be the only one to blame? "Seth, meet Vincent. Vincent, Seth. What are you doing here, Vince?"

Aimee Lynne Cox
Aimee was just starting to get worried about Vincent when she noticed him being chatted up by a pretty looking girl and what she presumed was her boyfriend, at the bar. Aimee started to dismiss the couple (and thus the stab of dark jealousy that was rising up in her for some reason) but stopped, and gave the girl another look. There was something...off, on her. She nudged Lilly, disrupting whatever it was she was trying to tell her.
"Lilly, do you see that girl, at the bar, by Vincent?"
Lilly looked for minute, and then nodded.
"Yeah, what about her? Jealous that she's with your boooyfriend?"
She giggled, and Aimee rolled her eyes.
"What are you, fourteen?"
Lilly stuck her tongue out at Aimee.
"Nineteen, thank you very much."

Seth
Seth's eyes did nothing, his face remained slate blank, but the news hit him in the gut. This man, this demon who passed as a perfectly normal surfer dude was one of the other three demons, specifically the one who was considered the water god. Woah.
"Nice to meet you. More importantly though, are either of them available, cause I distinctly remember both of them are students at my school." This was sure to make Libby double take.
"Seeing as I have had my heart punched around like a punching bag, I'll stick to girls I can relate to. Cheers, you two have fun catching up." Seth hadn't even faced Libby once in that transaction. He grabbed two of the Martini's and his own refilled sifter of scotch and weaved his way over to the table, though there were very few people on the edge of the dance floor. Seth sat heavily at the table and passed the two Martini's out.
"Seems as though my friend knows your friend, so A is to B as B is to C. I'm Seth and I believe we are all enrolled at the same college, though I am a History Major, oh and a addict of Speed." He chuckled, lightly. "I should say going fast really, but I like the reactions." Seth gulped some of the scotch down and glanced back at Libby and Vincent. He wished he hadn't.

Vincent
"Uh, high Libby, been a while. Oh both of them are available, sorta." Vincent watched Seth grab two glasses, his own and begin to teeter off.
"Hey don't let it slip what I am, one of them doesn't know." Vincent looked back around to Libby with a questioning look.
"He looks like he could be a heavy drinker, but isn't holding his drink to well. And what is this heart knocking? Aren't we supposed to try to keep them emotionally stable? A girl drop him cause she saw him with you. Yeah well I'd go for you too, but with those two, maybe not." Vincent chuckled and took a sip of the Martini. It was good.
"So how many have you had since we last bumped into each other? First one since the Admiral died at Hiroshima. Seven before that, after we met last. So nine for me. All well known, as always. What draws them to me? So annoying sometimes." He looked Libby over and realized he might have to go back on the statement before. She looked better than ever and ever was a long time for him.
"And we are neighbors, how'd we manage five days without bumping into each other?" Now Vincent really laughed.

Aimee Lynne Cox
Lilly gave Seth a lovely smile and took a sip of her martini; Aimee of course didn't touch it. They both knew Seth by sight (he was down the hall[ish] from their room and Aimee was pretty sure he was in one of her classes) but that wasn't nearly well enough in Aimee's book to be delivering drinks. She didn't want to wake up the next morning and not remember what'd happened the night before, like so many of her friends had had happened to them. She stirred the toothpick spearing the olives around in the drink slowly, listening to Lilly's sooth prattle.
"We call it being 'friends in law.' It's less of a mouthful, in the end. I'm Lilly, and this is my roommate, Aimee."
Aimee stayed quiet, letting Lilly do all the talking. She was hopeless with men, while Lilly seemed to be able to attract them with less then half a thought; it was a sheer wonder then, that Aimee had had as many boyfriends as she'd had (9). Lilly's smile faded and her lips dipped into a cute pout when Set clarified the drug reference.
"You like going fast? Pity. I could've used a hit or three of the K. Finals coming up and all that."
She took a delicate sip of her Martini, giving Aimee ample time to pitch into the conversation. Almost when it was too late did she pipe up.
"You're a history major? What time period are you specializing in?"

Libby
Libby listened barely to Seth's pity party and only glanced over at him for few seconds as he settled down by Vince's girls. She nodded at the fellow demon and placed her finished beer behind her.
"Sure, no problem." Vincent's warning about Seth could not hold anymore truth. The human was already flushed. It would only be a matter time before he began talking crap unconciously. Her teeth gritted against each other as her colleague made his own assumptions about Seth's current disposition. "There was something like that but it's more because he thinks that he loves me but I know that I don't love him back."
She shrugged her shoulders. "It has been too many if you ask me but to be clearer, let's say twice your amount and all are dead, yum." The demon motioned for the bartender to give her another and waited for it before answering his last question. "Seth and I were always outside. You were probably inside. It's that or we just suck at noticing each other." As much as she hated to admit it, Libby's eyes had not left the scene of Seth and the two girls except to get the other drink. "So, which one is yours?"

Seth
Seth watched Aimee not drink the Martini, but Lilly seemed to have no qualms about it, well then Aimee was a little less trusting.
"No K for me, just as fast as I can go on Raithsburne, soon to be St. Claire. My Bikes." Aimee's question didn't surprise him, everyone wanted to know what time frame he was going to specialize in. Well he hadn't decided yet, and that was coming up. Senior year time to focus on one instead of all.
"I'm in between Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, and The Crusades. I might though just drop all that and study the Oriental, maybe the Three Kingdoms, but my Chinese isn't up to snuff yet." Seth was now more focused on Lilly than Aimee though, it was obvious Lilly was the more outgoing of the two. Though his next statement was directed to Aimee.
"Vincent ordered those drinks, all I did was bring them over. Seeing as Vincent is a good protector I don't think he'd let anything get in those." Seth chuckled lightly as he focused on the Blond.
"So Lilly what is your major. No wait let me guess, I seem to have a knack for these things." Seth rubbed his temples in mock concentration and then cracked a broad grin.
"I have it, Art, specifically an Artist. So then you wouldn't happen to be one of his fanboys would you. Rushkin. If you are, that's alright. His art is okay. I'm sure you can guess who I like. Ancient." He chuckled.

Vincent
Vincent listened to her and a broad smile spread across his face. She was causing trouble as always.
"Wow, sounds just like you Libs. Doesn't help you are stunning, but charming, intelligent and well downright cool. Give the kid some slack." Vincent laughed lightly as he looked over his shoulder to watch the three college students for a second.
"You keep staring at him Libby. Maybe there is something growing there. I have no say, not a mind reader like Vas. ******** b*****d. Bet he got another old man. Sucker. Anyway, the Redhead. The blond is her roommate, so both in reality seeing as if Lilly dies, Aimee will be devastated." A wicked grin spread across his face at the thought.
"Aimee is in love with Lilly. So nice. Aimee won't admit it, but I'm working on it, shall we join our charges and make sure they don't get in any trouble."

Libby
"Who else would it sound like?" she asked, letting the subsequent compliments fuel her innate vanity but taking them as the truths that they were. "Why should he have any slack? The impossibility of us changing our true natures for the "better good" keeps us imprisoned. I'm just having fun while I can."
The demon took note of their names and ignored Vincent's quip about Vas. He probably did not get an old man. She could hear the smile in his voice though. "Is she shy? I could take care of that for you, you know and I suppose we could. I don't need him dying physically as well." Libby slipped off her stool but waited for Vincent.

Vincent
Vincent slid off his stool and took his Martini with him. His body broke the alcohol down in seconds and stored it in a organ he used for special uses.
"That would be nice. She made a promise I can join them if they ever do hook up. You might have to loosen Lilly's inhibition if she has any, which I don't think she has any." Vincent led the way over to the table, their conversation still a mysterious due to the massive music still droning around them. They all had to huddle together.

Libby
Libby slipped into the booth after Vincent which brought her parallel to Seth in facing him. His suggestion that it was a simple matter of making Lilly more loose did not cut it in Libby's mind. The demon leeaned back in her seat with an easy smile and explored both girls' personality. Both were confident in their own respects but Aimee seemed lacking in beliefs that she had a chance with Lilly or that Lilly did not swing that way. She was sure that a little experiment would make those assumptions blow away instantly.
"Hello, girls. I see that you've met my friend, Seth. I hope he isn't too much trouble." She said this with a grin at the poor boy but a wink at Lilly. If she was going to play this right, it was more an issue of disproving Aimee's insecurities than just doing away with them. "I'm Libby, by the way."

Aimee Lynne Cox
Aimee wasn't a history major (not by far) but she had studied certain time periods here and there as it pertained to her novels and short stories. She knew enough, therefore, to recognize the fact that Seth's potential specializations were specializations only by the fact that they cut away a third of history. Despite Seth's reassurance, she didn't make a move for her drink.
"Ancient Greece? That's a bit...broad, don't you think?"
Lilly looked amazed that Seth could not only pinpoint her major (forgetting the fact that she still had paint on her arms and in her hair) but her favorite artist.
"Impressive. And hey, don't go knocking Rushkin. He's...he's amazing. Better then anything I'll ever paint, that's for sure."
She sighed, but seemed to enjoy the attention that Seth was giving her. She slide over when Libby and Vincent joined them at their table, giving the new comers a smile.
"I'm Lilly, and this is Aimee. Trouble? Seth? I wouldn't think of it!"
Lilly giggled and took another drink of her martini.

Vincent
Vincent slid closer to Aimee and wrapped an arm around her waist lightly.
"So what you don't want that Martini? Don't drink do we?" His mind sent out a message, he could feel the insecurity off her.
'Seth didn't drug that. That is Libby St. Claire. As a rule of thumb we don't try to mess with each other's charges, or let each other's charges mess with ours. Perfectly safe to drink, but if you want mine?' Vincent switched the glasses, his full again. Not as strong but he, that's what happens when you water it down with molecules in the air.
"That's good Libby cause I'd have to pound Seth." Vincent laughed heartily as he took a gulp of the Martini Seth had brought over.

Seth
"I was thinking Macedon, the Rise of King Philip and then his subsequent death and the Rise of his son. Alexander. I have a source that know more information on him than any other." Libby sitting down and Vincent following stopped him. Oh well.
"I have been, well not the perfect gentleman, but close enough. Anyways I was about to guess Aimee's Major. Unless you wanna take a crack at it Libs?" Seth knocked back the rest of his scotch and let his fingers trail on the seat towards Lilly's They were next to each other, the rounded booth made it so when Libby and Vincent had joined. One finger found hers and slowly the rest.
No obligations to her, Angel wouldn't care either, she just was using me and wanted to keep using me. So why not use the new found freedom from the oppressive shyness and get lucky. Lilly was a buxom young women and Aimee was, sorta taken. Funny seeing as he guessed right after seeing the massive stone on her hand.

Aimee Lynne Cox
'I don't care one way or another, what he did to it. I don't drink, unless its one special ******** occasion.' Aimee raised her eyebrows.
"Just going out on a limb here, but is your source your, uh, demon lover girl?"
She smiled gently and settled back into the curve of Vincent's arms, clearly flaunting her own demon. Lilly for her own part, gave Seth's hand a small squeeze and then dropped it, bringing her hands to above the table's level. She drew small nonsensical patterns in the shiny hardwood.
"'Demon lover girl?"
"A pet name."
"Uh-huh."
Lilly clearly didn't believe Aimee, but she took the hint and made a mental note to ask Aimee about it, when they were alone again.
