Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Well, I guess I just lost twenty dollars," Shadow said, handing the money to Vlad, who grinned and took another sip from his glass. Caroline had bandaged her wrist and was polishing the bar.
"Since they did find thier way, you can remove the spell," Shadow said to Caroline.
"Already done," she replied, frowning when a spot wouldn't come off the counter.
Vladimir stood up and walked over to Tanis and Attimasc.
"I'm oh so glad you arrived," he said, laying on his accent extremely thick. Shadow sighed and thought about what she wanted to drink. "Thanks to you I just won a twenty dollar bet." Vlad smiled. "I'm Vladimir, by they way."
"They don't care who you are, Vlady," Shadow said. "Caroline, I think I'll take the usual."
"I don't care about your opinion," Vlad said, losing the accent. "Maybe their only wish has been to meet an extremely old Russian vampire."
"I seriously doubt that." Shadow walked over to Attimasc. "This is Vlady. Call him that." Vladimir hissed and walked back over to his stool and downed the rest of his drink. "The witch behind the bar is Caroline, and the buff boucer downstairs is Christopher. I wouldn't recomend making Caroline or Chris angry. Vlady, on the other hand, can't do much of anything, so piss him off as much as you want." Shadow ignored Vlad's growl and walked back to her seat.

"Nice to see you again, Kaminari," Shadow said, bowing. The bow was sincere and respectful; Shadow had always posessed a deep respect for demons, especially the powerful ones. "Glad to see you decided to join us. The more the merrier." Glancing at the pool tables, Shadow sighed. "If only I could find a worthy opponent...I've been playing pool for quite awhile."
"I play billiards," Vlad said.
"Shut up, Vlady," Shadow hissed. Then, turning to Kaminari, "You don't play, do you?"

((They're called Pool Que's))

((the thing with me and jokes, is that both are awesome, and awesome things have to stay together XD ))
Tanis walked over to Vladmir and said, laughing "Hi Vlady,"
he then walked over to caroline and asked, "what kind of beer do you have?"
he then felt a tingling at the back of his neck and turned around, seeing Kaminari once again
"hello again," he said quietly

Downing the rest of her drink, Shadow grinned. "Sure, I'll break." Shadow moved up to the pool table and cringed. She concentrated and then...a que appeared in her hands. It was solid black and attatched to her palms. The tip was pure white. Shadow was concentrating all her energy into the tip so that when she hit the ball it would make contact. Even though Shadow had just taken a pill, she was putting enough energy into the tip that her feet melted into the floor. Shadow pulled back and...whack! The little triangle of balls flew all over the table, but none went in. "Damn it...I suck at pool." Turning to Kaminari, "Your go."

'WHY do I put up with her???' Vladimir thought. He then sighed as he looked away from Shadow. Pursing his lips, he pushed his emotions back. He glared at the boy that had called him 'Vlady' and took another sip from his drink. 'Ooh...I don't like him...and neither does that woman that Shadow is playing pool with.' Vladimir looked at her and tried his best to not make it obvious. 'She seemed hostile right away towards me too...I wonder why? It's not like I'm a bad person...anymore...'

"Honey, we've got anything you want," Caroline said to the boy. 'Well, it's obvious she's powerful. I can feel her power coming off of her in waves. I doubt this boy or Vlad can feel it. But I bet Shadow can...' she thought to herself. 'Maybe they already know what she is. It's a possibility...hmm...she seems to be closely related to Shadow, and yet nothing like her. Shadows give off a specific wave of power that seems to blend in with everything...where as her's is extremely specific as well. I've never seen anything like it before. But I can feel her spirit in the walls, the ground, everywhere. It is possible that she has been here before I started working here. It is also possible that she is a being whose essence is always everywhere. Something powerful...I'll have to ask Shadow...' Caroline carefully opened a vein. Vlad's eyes shot towards hers. He smelled it immediately. Caroline put a finger to her lips. Carefully, she muttered a spell and her blood took off. The vein closed. 'If that spell works properly, then that little bit of blood should have formed a pentagram above the main enterace by now. That way I'll be immediately alerted to whenever someone of power enters the place. I've been meaning to do that anyway...' Vladimir shot her a glance that said 'Caroline, you better watch what you're doing. You might have quite a bit of magic in your blood, but you're still human.' Caroline stuck her tongue out and went back to her duties. But then she froze as a thought popped into her head.
'Immensely powerful...essence everywhere...is she a demon?'

Vladimir kept his cool on the outside, but on the inside he flinched.
'What do these people think I did??? I haven't done anything wrong in four hundred years! Even when I was in Russia, I didn't do anything terrible...I think that maybe the worst crime I've ever commited was killing a woman with child...and I regret that terribly...'
Vlad smiled and locked eyes with the boy. "I do not know who you think I am or what crimes I have commited, but I must say that I am one of the nicest people you'll ever meet." Vlad smiled, showing his fangs, but then immediately regretted it. 'Erk! I'm not supposed to do that when I'm trying to make friends! Stupid, stupid, STUPID Vladimir!'
"He's right, you know," Caroline said. "I'll vouch for him. Vlady here is one of the biggest pansies alive. Well...undead."
"Hey! I'm not a pansy," Vlad said, pouting. "And don't call me Vlady."
"You let Shadow call you Vlady," Caroline teased. "I wonder why?..."
"I do not!" Vlad blushed and took another sip of his drink.
"Ha! Then why are you blushing? Which really is amazing, since you've been dead for quite awhile."
"Caroline, will you just please shut up???"
"I don't think I will." Caroline grinned and Vlad rested his head in his hands.
"Hey, boy," Caroline said. "What did you call Vlady? I don't think I've heard that word before."

Shadow grinned and moved over to stand next to Kaminari. "Of course he does, darling, but I just don't have the heart to reject the poor boy. He's been all torn up about me since we first met. But even though it should be obvious-I don't date at all-he's still dragging that crush around," Shadow whispered, making sure to position her 'voice' right next to Kaminari's ear so that no one else would hear. Looking at the pool table, Shadow smiled, took aim, and knocked an orange ball into a pocket. "I'm solids; you're stripes."

Kaminari smirked, looking back at the waterboy, giggling slightly. So he had a sense of humor about him; how interesting. Kaminari turned and nodded, looking down at the balls. She smiled again, taking a sip from her drink, waiting for Shadow to go again. She looked back at Attimasc and smiled again, "When is anything not my business? I could knock down your time into nothing." she reminded him, her glass tilting ever so slightly, "But since I'm so, we'll call it caring, I wouldn't do that to a Puddle." she hissed, taking another sip.
