Aubry walked up to the old, rotting door and knock five times, then eight times. a man about seven feet tall came out.
"Ah, Aubry, and what do i owe such pleasure?" he said with an old English accent.
"im showing a friends around... she was very excited to come..." Aubry replied.
"well, go on in... i won't keep ya waitin'..." the man said, moving aside.
"Thanks Harold..." Aubry said, walking into the darkened room.

Davi followed Aubry in. Immediately, she was defend by the blasting dance music and neon lighted folk bobbing everywhere. Neon lights seemed to be the only form of lighting in the place.
Davi was wide eyed, and staring at everything as they threaded their way through the crowd of just about every species that the lightie had ever heard of, plus a few she didn't recognize. One man...thing...in particular caught Davi's attention: he was green, and had scaled skin. Or what little she could see through the short, bristly spikes covering the man from head to toe.
"Wow..."

"ah! Von!" Aubry said, walking over to the scaled man. "i haven't seen you in decades! how was South America?"
"heaven... i long to return..." he said, though you could barely understand it in his rough accent.
"we should have a drink together sometime..." Aubry said, smiling.
"as long as it's not on me... and not me." Von said, grinning.
Aubry sighed.
"you a**..." she said as she turned to Davi. "well, how do you like my bar?"

Davi with some effort tore her eyes away from the man, Von, apparently. She smiled at Aubry.
"You...own this place? I think it's wonderfully quaint!"

Aubry laughed.
"thank you... it's named after a pirate ship i had in the 1700's... brilliant ship it was, scared the heck out of other pirates, not to mention it was crewed only by female vampires. it sadly got hit one too many times and is a wonderful addition to Calypso's collection... i have yet to strike a deal with her to get it back..." she said, glancing at Davi. "you don't believe a word i just said, do you?"

Davi blushed and looked away. She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
"Well...you have to admit, it does a little far fetched. I mean, I knew you were old, but the 1700's? Making deals with Calypso? Scaring other pirates?"

((did you recognize the ship name Izzy?))
"well, the deal with Calypso was a little far, i wouldn't dare go near her and her temper. but the other stuff is true." she said. "i am old. i was, what, 18 in the 1700's when i was a human, er, actually, now that i think about it, i never was a human. i've always been a vampire, either a half-vampire or full."

[Yeppers. Clever name too, if I do say so meself.]
Davi tilted her head to one side, looking a little confused.
"So, you can go from being a half vamp, to a full?"

(((my dad came up with it in like, 5 seconds he's one of those people that you can ask anything and he'll have the answer in like, 10 seconds...)))
"yes you can... i was born a half-vampire, and since i wasn't a full vampire, i aged, and then i got changed..." Aubry explained, shrugging.

[Give him my regards, then. It's a good name. ^.^]
Davi ordered a coke from the bar. She turned back to Aubry, icy drink in hand, looking more confused then ever.
"But...how can someone be born a half blood sucker?"

Aubry raised an eyebrow at the word 'blood sucker'
"thought you would be more optimistic then calling me a blood sucker..." she commented. "and my vampiric dad ******** my human mother... that's how..." she shifted slightly, and smiled lightly, though it was forced and tight.

Davi immediately felt like an a**.
"Sorry, sorry. I didn't know you didn't like slang."
She cleared her throat, and tried to move past the discretion. Davi blushed at Aubry's mention of reproduction.
"Oh! I-I-I assumed that part. But, I mean, how can someone end up...oh...never mind. It's just hard to imagine, you know? So anyway, a halfie like you got turned to a whole vamp?"

((it's kinda weird, 'cause it's usually me whose in the awkward position considering reproduction... odd))
"yeah, i was kinda confused with that part as well, but a vampyre named Ranu ((*wink wink*)) made me a promise and turned me after i saved him from hell... interesting journey that one..." Aubry trailed off as she was lost in the memory. she snapped back instantly. "srry, im getting caught up with myself..." she turned to the bar and ordered a drink. it was a thick, red bubbly drink that looked questionable. she took a sip and sighed. "you know, it's kinda pointless to come to a bar and just get a coke..." she said, eying Davi's drink. "we have almost anything you could think of, and you order a coke..."

[Speaking of which! Boy, do I have a story for you! ^.-]
Davi pulled her glass of coke closer to her body, half afraid Aubry would try and spike it with...something or other.
"What's wrong with coke? It's nice tasting, bubbly and it doesn't leave you feeling like s**t in the morning, like vodka, or a screwdriver, or a Bloody Mary, or something else equally incapcitating. Plus, have you ever tried flying while drunk? Trees just spring outta nowhere, trying to kill you!"
She gestured wildly, to reinforce her point. Unfortunately, Davi also managed to teach half her drink to fly at the same. She cursed and grabbed a napkin, trying to mop the mess up.
"Sorry, sorry."

((what is it?))
"it's ok, you can leave it, Hunter'll get it..." as if on cue, a large, hairy dog came over and slurped up the spilled coke. "thanks Hunter..."
"my pleasure... it's not very often that i get soda, usually, it's like that." Hunter said, pointing his head towards Aubry's drinks. "don't you ever get something different?"
"yes i do... only i decided to play it safe today." Aubry said defensively.
"uh-huh..." Hunter said, rolling his big brown eyes. "well, i gotta get going... there was a spill in the bathroom that wasn't pretty... green blood everywhere..."
"ew... who was it?" Aubry asked.
"Lizard boy had it coming... Wolfie took a snap at him, and well, you get it..." Hunter told her. he turned and walked towards the bathroom.
Aubry sighed.
"that the third time Von's been beaten..." she said, shaking her head. "any way... so, trees try to kill you when you're drunk?"
