The city is full of life, the area is full of vampires, they gaze at you and give you looks of a stranger. the sky is red from the filter, the water is nothing but blood, the city is full of Gothic architectures. the fountain in the middle of the town center has statues of crying angels pouring urns of blood and tears of blood leaking from their eyes. the path is dusty, all you see is different tones of red, it dosent matter if your a vampire hear or not, you don't feel welcome.

Dycepius walks through the town, ignoring the uninviting glares from the vampires that roam it. He approaches a man on a bench on the northern portion of the square. Irritated, the man on the bench bares his fangs and says "What do YOU want?"
Staring at him for a moment, Dycepius reached into his pocket. He pulled out a photograph. "Tell me if you have seen this man.", showing it to the vampire, demanding rather than asking. The photograph contained a hooded figure, seeming to be a powerful presence, and appears to of been barely captured in the photo. He was shown from behind, apparently the best that the anonymous photographer could get.
"No, now get out of my fu-..." The vampire said and paused, thinking for a moment. "Actually, I think I did. He went into the Spider Forest to the east of the city." Without thanking the man, Dycepius walked east. "Jackass!", he heard from behind him, but again ignoring.

Returning to the Sanguine City, Dycepius and Lark enter the town center, both victims of foul glances and snickers. Dycepius first noticed the empty bench, where the vampire who was responsible for his meeting with Leweyenus. Passing that fact, he thought of a way to find out more about this "Garvix" character.
"It would be quicker if we split up, but you'll have to be on your guard. I'm sure that being the thief you are, eavesdropping should be a second nature to you." Dycepius told Lark, who seemed to be a bit confused at the moment.
"Just scan through the residential district, and ask the citizens if they know of Garvix. I'll stay around here and see what I can find out as well. We'll meet back here in the town square in an hour, alright?" Dycepius felt strange about Lark, as though he could trust her. Trust. Something Dycepius had been without for years.

"First off, I know bloody well I have to be on guard," an second, I lived in a temple half my life of course I can eves drop. and better than any gods cursed pick pocket I will tell you.” she said and took a small ally leading towards a hotel popular with mafia men, she had preformed there a few times so she would not look misplaced. Once she had arrived she went in the back way ignoring curses from serving girls. She had deserved it any way. {She stole there nights profit.} She gathered from a birdie of hers that Garvix was living in his fife home third street down number 4867. Lark thought moment and decided she had a little time for fun before she had to go and repot back. She tugged her top lower on her chest and picked up a tray of drinks. Then she walked into the common room. Men were lying about some sat in circles discussing quietly others were so drunk they probably had just passed out on the floor. Lark walked up to a group of men discussing in whispers. "Can I interest you in any thing gentlemen?" she asked them. They stopped there discussion and glanced at her. There were six men all in nice clothing. One had hazel eyes and a y shaped scar over his left eyebrow, he was very pale but had black/blonde hair that was popular with teenagers. He said. "Yes, I would like ale all around. " she nodded and went back to the kitchen where she poured out six ales in leather jacks. Walking back into the common room lark saw what they were whispering about. One man was holding an inscribed throwing knife like the mafia men carried and was taking about some ones death. Lark walked up to the table. The men stared at her. The dagger had disappeared. Lark handed at jack to each man smiling as she did. One man motioned for he to have a seat next to him she did and glanced at his face he was sweating profusely and was nerves. Once she was settled the man took out the dagger. "Do you know what this is?" he asked her as if he asked a small child " no, but it is very pretty." she said tilting her head well looking at the dagger. Of course she bloody hell knew what it was! But a serving weantch had to be quite and unknowing, good only for bringing ale and to use as a bed warmr. "it looks expensive." she said after a second. "were did you come by it?" asked lark as if she had noidea. "umm, i bought it from a market seller." he lied, lark could te he lied. dumb itiot. lark looked at the clock in the cornoer. damn! she was late. she looked at the men and said. can i get you more ale?" they shou there heads and wispered among there selfes. odivously haveing no intenshion of letting lark up any time soon. "the man next to e wiser some thing and eyed lark. then the othere men nodded. "how much ?" the hazle eyed man asked lark hated it hen this happeded. she shok her head and scuted back but one man had hole of her wrist. she kept he other had to the floor and tugged out a throwing dagger and put it the the mans hand at he wist. "sir i must be going. she said harshly as he let go ing fear of haveing his hand cut. lark walked out the back door and back through the alt twords dycepius.

After hearing Lark defend herself, Dycepius almost chuckled. "The rambunctiousness of youth.." He thought to himself. He then left the square and decided to search by his own right.
But, with his current attire, he assumed just asking wouldn't do much help (It sure didn't last time..). Shrugging it off, Dycepius walked the streets, most people refusing to respond. Until, nearly half an hour later..
"You've been asking around for Garvix, haven't you?" Spoke a vampire leaning against the walls of the alleyway. He was wearing what seemed to be a blue or purple vest, over a possibly red shirt, the difficulty in indentifing due to the blood-red barrier's effects. Dycepius simply nodded to the question. "Hmph, then you're asking to die. Garvix is the head of a mafia crime syndicate, based in this, our "not-so-fair city." The fanged anon said.
"The last time someone asked for him, the man was found hung from a streetlamp by his intestines." The vampire continued. "of course the people there were satisfied with it..", he added.
"But whatever the case, do NOT keep looking for him. One way or another, you will die if you keep this up." He warned, still not even disclosing his name.
"For one who knows this much, you must of made this same mistake." Dycepius pointed out, and the vampire fell silent. "You know exactly where he is, but for my sake, refuse to tell me where." The vampire then gave Dycepius a bizarre look. "Tell me, or I will be the one to kill you." Dycepius added, putting his hand over his sheathed katana.
"I have nothing to say to you, I'm leaving." And with that, the vampire walked away. However, behind where he stood prior was something, a piece of paper, perhaps? Seeming too coincidental, Dycepius walked over to it and picked it up. His fingers felt a different texture on the other side of it than his thumb did on the front. Flipping it over, it was actually a photograph.
The photo was of an apparant home, or something similar. He could faintly tell a word etched into the stone walling, but it's doubtful anyone else can discern that.
 Now having some reference, he decided to return to the town square and inform Lark, that is, if she hadn't been as lucky as he.

Dycepius walked up from behind Lark, seeming from thin air.
"Did I miss anything?" He said calmly, his eyes focused on the vehicle in front of them.
