Unfortunate turns

TheJokur: -the door is suddenly thrown up and 3 individuals, waltze in as if they own the place
TheJokur: -the leader has two big thugs behind him and he glances around the place distainfully
Heockius: -Lydia was in the middle of pouring herself a glass of wine.- I'm sorry gentlemen. We're closed today...
TheJokur: oh is that so? -the man does not even look at her and sits down casually, putting his feet up on the table
Heockius: -Lydia sips the wine as she looks over- Yes... I'm sorry.
TheJokur: get me some wine, now.
Heockius: And if I said no?
TheJokur: -the two big thugs stand by his side, crossing their muscular arms glaring at her threateningly
TheJokur: -he sighs and shakes his head as if talking to a slow child
TheJokur: you don't know who I am, do you?
TheJokur: I will explain this slowly for you lady...
Heockius: Please do. -Lydia turns to them and sips her wine-
TheJokur: me and my friends...are going to offer you our protection....and from now on you are going to pay us....hm....what shall we say -he leans back amused
TheJokur: you will pay us 45 percent of your earnings from now on
TheJokur: -the man brings up a lighter and starts to smoke now inside
Heockius: Protection? Oh dear, in such a small town?
TheJokur: yes, that's right -he nods
TheJokur: pretty little thing like you sure needs it -chuckles
TheJokur: -the big thugs laugh as well
Heockius: -Lydia swirls her wine as she seems to consider it- I don't know... Forty five percent... That's a lot... And this place is just getting started.
TheJokur: well tough luck, I'm sure you will manage
Heockius: -Lydia sighs and shakes her head- I don't think I'll be able to afford it.
TheJokur: -he stands up now glaring, the chair creaking behind him
TheJokur: maybe me and my "friends" ought to show you just how ...serious we are about our services... -he walks closer cracking his knuckles, the two large men following after him
Heockius: (One moment)
Heockius: (There. Extra dots)
TheJokur: (he is not a vampire btw, just a cocky human)
Heockius: -Lydia feigns terror as she backs up against the bar- W-what?
Heockius: (I figured)
TheJokur: -he goes over and corners her, standing with the two intimidating tall gangsters behind him
TheJokur: listen, I would hate having to mess up such a pretty little face, so just do as we want, okay?
Heockius: I told you. I can't afford it... J-just... Please...
TheJokur: -snickers cruelly
TheJokur: you better speed up business then
TheJokur: -he casually leans his arm back, knocking down and breaking an expensive bottle off the counter
Heockius: -Lydia raises an eyebrow-
TheJokur: now, are we gonna have any issues? -leans back looking her up and down with a raised eyebrow
TheJokur: you can start now, open the register.
Heockius: How about I call the police? -Lydia reaches for the phone-
TheJokur: -he smacks it out of her hand!
TheJokur: how about me and my buddies break your fingers?!
TheJokur: -he gets up in her face
Heockius: -Lydia watches him and leans away- Your breath is terrible...
MorphieusV: ^ The Door opens^
TheJokur: -the man blinks as if not believing her nerve, then snarls and raises his hand to backhand her!!!
Heockius: -Lydia is suddenly standing behind him. She moved fast enough that his eyes would have had a hard time tracking her-
MorphieusV: ^ A Tall man stands in the door^
TheJokur: wha.. -the mans hand moves through thin air and he stares dumbly at nothing
TheJokur: where??!!!
Heockius: -Lydia taps his shoulder and whispers- Back here.
TheJokur: -he turns quickly!!
TheJokur: how did you...
Heockius: Your eyes aren't that good... Have you seen an optemtrist lately?
TheJokur: -he is angry and punches at her now!
Heockius: -Lydia turns just enough for his punch to miss. In the same motion she sinks her fangs into his hand-
TheJokur: GAHH! -the man panics, startled!
Heockius: (Phiphie. Your dude might realize he walked in on a shake down)
TheJokur: what the fuck?! -the two large thugs stand still for a moment taken aback
Heockius: -Lydia tears her fangs free and wipes her mouth- Breaking a bottle of wine...talking big... You're new at this, aren't you?
MorphieusV: ^ Boidae walks up behind the other two man and cracked thier head together, hard^
Heockius: (Aw. I wanted Lydia to handle it)
TheJokur: my hand! -he stares at his bleeding hand
TheJokur: you....bit me you bitch!
MorphieusV: ( I so love the clock-the-badguys-heads-together thing.)
Heockius: -Lydia takes her sunglasses off so he can now see her monserous eyes. Her fangs glisten in the light of the bar.-
TheJokur: (yes)
TheJokur: -he goes still...freezing...
MorphieusV: ^ The two thugs lay prone on the floor^
Heockius: -Lydia smiles and locks her eyes on his. The lights in the restaurant seem to dim... - When you offer protection... You need to show the person what they should be scared of.
TheJokur: -the leader seems to shrink almost, now that his big thugs are no longer there
TheJokur: why I...! -his hand reaches for the gun in his pants!
Heockius: -Lydia shouts at him- SHOW ME!
TheJokur: -he almost drops the gun at the shout, but raises it at her face
Heockius: -Lydia looks disappointed. She walks closer so it is pressed against her chest now- Another limp bluster
MorphieusV: ^ He lifts one of the big pluglies over him head^
TheJokur: -the man walks back, backing away from Lydia
TheJokur: I will...shoot you!
Heockius: -Lydia smiles wickedly. Her eyes glinting now and her fangs on clear display- do it.
Heockius: -She walks with him... Slowly backing him into a corner-
MorphieusV: ^ Boidae's face is fill with anoynuos, He chucks the big baddy at the man with the gun^
TheJokur: -his black eyes look nervous and confused, his fingers nervously squeeze the trigger
Heockius: -Lydia snaps her cane up to stop the thrown man from hitting her prey-
Heockius: Do it. You'll never get a clearer shot
TheJokur: -he shoots!
Heockius: -Lydia flinches from the impact and looks at the fresh hole- Again.... -She laughs... her tone menacing-
TheJokur: -the gangster stares, blinking as he looks at the wound....
TheJokur: -he sways a bit as if he might faint, still holding the gun up...
Heockius: -Lydia looks up. She snaps her hand to his chest to grab him there- I had hope for you.
Heockius: -Her clawed fingers would sink into his flesh if she got a hold-
MorphieusV: ^ He walk up behind Lydia and places a hand to her sholder^
TheJokur: ahh! -he grabs around her hands painfully
MorphieusV: The Peace officer am come. ^ he said softly^
TheJokur: -the gang leader sobs terrified now
Heockius: -Lydia lifts him from the floor and pulls him close-
Heockius: I never called the police... I don't even have alarms here...
Heockius: They will never find your body. -Lydia whispers to the man-
MorphieusV: ^ Looks at the weeping man^ The big cat do need foods.
TheJokur: -he tries to pull Lydias hair
Heockius: I'm famished myself.
TheJokur: I don't wanna die..!
MorphieusV: Cats eat fleash not blood.
Heockius: -Lydia's fangs flash as she pulls him in and sinks them into the man's throat-
TheJokur: -he screams!
Heockius: -Lydia drains his blood greedily. She has no intention of stopping-
TheJokur: -he struggles and claws at her faintly
Heockius: -Lydia does not relent. It even seems his struggle excites her as she drinks him-
TheJokur: -claws more, trying to escape! weaker now
Heockius: -Lydia grips him tighter as she drains the last of what she can get from him-
TheJokur: -his hands fall down by his sides limply, eyes rolling back in his head lifeless
DrArtemis: *walking along with my dog...*
DrArtemis: *Bruno growls...*
DrArtemis: Bruno?  What is it?
Heockius: -Lydia drops the man and wipes her mouth- Hmph. Try to rob me...
DrArtemis: *Bruno runs ahead and I follow*
TheJokur: -the gang leader lies dead now at her feet
DrArtemis: Bruno...  Slow down...
Heockius: -Lydia sighs and looks over the mess- One quiet night... One? Oh well...
MorphieusV: ^ He looks at the body with endifferance^ And the other two?
DrArtemis: *Bruno scratches at the front door of the restaurant*
Heockius: Tie them up and turn them over. -Lydia pokes the leader's body with her cane- He ran off, correct?
MorphieusV: Indeed. ^ He turns to the door^
Heockius: -Lydia groans and pulls her sunglasses out- The doctor.
DrArtemis: *I eventually catach up with Bruno as he begins yanking at the door handle with his mechanical teeth*
MorphieusV: ¿Es un amigo, señora?
Heockius: -Lydia lifts the body and dumps it over the counter-
DrArtemis: *I look in...*
DrArtemis: Oh my word.
Heockius: -Lydia has a hole in her dress that looks like she had been shot-
MorphieusV: ^ A tall cold eyed man stares at the Doctor and the dog^
DrArtemis: *I enter, with gun drawn*
DrArtemis: That's far enough, Miss Hargrave.
Heockius: Doctor. -Lydia busies herself with picking up pieces of a broken wine bottle-
Heockius: If you don't mind... I just suffered a shake down...
DrArtemis: I saw what happened here.
Heockius: -Lydia looks over- Did you?
DrArtemis: I saw you trying to hide that body.
Heockius: -Lydia sighs and looks at the the two unconscious men behind her-
MorphieusV: Man come and tryed to do crime.
DrArtemis: Don't move.  These are silver bullets, encasing a droplet of Holy Water.
DrArtemis: Leftovers, I see.
Heockius: ... I should have paid 45 percent? I should have let these men threaten me? -Lydia looks over the rims over her glasses at him-
DrArtemis: We have a police force to handle such things.
DrArtemis: Now we have yet another bloodsucker on our hands.
Heockius: -Lydia sighs- I was going to dispose of him before that could happen... We don't need that.
MorphieusV: These man are unharm just out.
DrArtemis: This is murder, Miss Hargrave.  Your promise to not kill didn't mean much.
Heockius: -Lydia turns and points to the bullet hole in her dress- I did not act until he used force.
DrArtemis: Force?  A common bullet is no threat to you.
MorphieusV: ^ Boidae frowns and graps at the Doctor's gun^
Heockius: Mister Bodae. Please.
DrArtemis: *Bruno lunges and his jaws clamp down on Boidae's arms, shreadding flesh!*
DrArtemis: This ends, Lydia!
DrArtemis: *I fire once at her!*
MorphieusV: ^ The shirt rips but the flesh is not cut beneath, his hand still gripping the gun to point up^
Heockius: -Lydia's form collapses into mist just as he pulled the trigger. The bullet passing through where she had been-
DrArtemis: OOC:  How exactly in Boidie immune to Bruno's bite?
MorphieusV: ( His skin is hardened, he still gets bruised and bones still brake)
DrArtemis: OOC:  The bullet will not kill her in mist form, but it is Holy and therefore does cause her some damage.
DrArtemis: OOC:  His skin is so hard that Bruno's rotating bladed teeth do NO harm?
TheJokur: -jokur walks towards the restaurant and hears some noises.....then walks closer
Heockius: -The mist rolls over the counter and Lydia reforms crouched behind it- Ow...
Laneruby: (Howdy)
MorphieusV: ( Well that may brake through after a bit of time.)
TheJokur: (break)
DrArtemis: OOC:  Lydia will be unable to transform for a time, as she needs to be at full strength to do so.
Heockius: (Oh so stuck in mist. Ok)
DrArtemis: OOC:  No, no.  She resumes human form, whether she wants to or not.  And she must stay in human form.
Heockius: (Ah)
TheJokur: -jokur peeks in through a window
DrArtemis: *I wrestle with Bodie*
MorphieusV: ^ He pulls with monsterus strangth the dog off while yanking at the gun from the Doctor^
TheJokur: oi! what's going on in here?! -rushes inside
Heockius: -Lydia stays down and groans- Doctor... I promised you I would not feed.. I told De'Annar I do not pounce... I was caught up in the moment. Defending my establishment...
DrArtemis: OOC:  What is up with Brodie?  Is he a vampire?
TheJokur: are you bullying Lydia doctor??
MorphieusV: ( No, he is not undead but he is not humen)
MorphieusV: ^ Boidae's green slited eyes flash with wath^
DrArtemis: *Bruno and I back off from the monster Brady, regarding him...*
Heockius: -Lydia stands slowly- Can we cease the violence... I was actually closed for the night to relax...
DrArtemis: The violence preceded my presence, Countess.
TheJokur: -crosses his arms as if annoyed
MorphieusV: ^ Boidae stands glaring at the Doctor and the dog, his arm is cut and is bleed slightly^
DrArtemis: Tell who... or what... your bouncer is.
Heockius: He just visits for wine...
DrArtemis: He bleeds, at least.
MorphieusV: Humf. I so none of her's.
Heockius: Doctor. I got carried away... My intention was to scare the man... I promised you I would not feed at the library. Have I? Haven't I been civil there?
TheJokur: you have Lydia -says loudly
DrArtemis: There?  So morality is geographic now?
Heockius: Not morality. Everyone can make mistakes.
DrArtemis: Your mistake cost a man his life.
TheJokur: oh it's just a misunderstanding I am sure
TheJokur: relaaaax -walks around casually now
Heockius: And you haven't made such a mistake?
DrArtemis: Okur, stay out of this.
MorphieusV: Men come with ill to give. She fought. These men intend to harm.
DrArtemis: As I said, one calls the police under such circumstances.
DrArtemis: Especially for you, Countess.  They could not harm you.
Heockius: -Lydia points to the damaged phone on the floor-
Heockius: I attempted to do that first.
DrArtemis: You could have pulled your like dissolving trick and scared the bejeezus out of them.  They would have run off.
DrArtemis: ^ little dissolving
MorphieusV: La muerte es un regalo para estos hombres. ^ He crosses his arms with derision^
Heockius: And have random people running around telling their friends about the "magical disolving woman"?
TheJokur: my glass is empty -frowns as he dangles his empty glass around
DrArtemis: What random people?  You said the restaurant was closed.
Heockius: -Lydia rubs her head- A turn of phrase doctor...
Heockius: But having three men telling whatever criminal boss of theirs that this place fought back. The owner was -Lydia imitates an uneducated criminal- "Houdini or some shit"
MorphieusV: ^ Boidae puffs again and walks to one of the men on the floor.^
DrArtemis: Tonight, your true nature was revealed.  You're a killer, Miss Hargrave.  Nothing less.
MorphieusV: **huff**
Heockius: Only to have them return with more men... ON a night my business was open?
DrArtemis: Criminals are a superstitious lot.  A good scare will send them packing.
Heockius: Not in my experience...
DrArtemis: Your experience is to kill them.
MorphieusV: You be the one who has the gun señor. ^ He cheacks the man^
DrArtemis: And I want it back.
TheJokur: -yawns looking bored
Heockius: -Lydia groans- Doctor Artemis. I won't let it happen again. Not here. I am capable of learning. Allow me the chance to prove that to you.
DrArtemis: ...There is no Three Strike system for murder.
MorphieusV: ^ Boidae looks at the Doctor with hummorless smerk^ Are you safe?
DrArtemis: You threaten me?
Heockius: -Lydia leans on the counter and looks at the doctor- I think he's asking if you have commited murder.
TheJokur: -raises his eyebrows, turning to the doctor...
TheJokur: yes, have you?
DrArtemis: ...I did not come here for this.  You are not even alive, Countess.
Heockius: I was never a countess.
DrArtemis: I may not be able to stop you tonight, but I will not condone your actions.
DrArtemis: No?  You remind me of one.
DrArtemis: Come along, Bruno.
MorphieusV: Un doctor en prejuicios.
Heockius: -Lydia watches-
DrArtemis: *I pull Bruno out with me*
DrArtemis: *I depart*
MorphieusV: ^ He hiss at the dog as they leave^
Heockius: -Lydia slumps to the floor and hisses-
TheJokur: -jokur goes over to her
TheJokur: aww...
Heockius: So his magic bullets hurt even in my mist form... Unexpected...
