The city of Umbra: 2nd rp on the new forum.

[Woo]

she sighed softly. "damn shame" she whispered into her drink, before taking a sip. Conflict had always made Lula nervous, but now through no choice of her own she was being dragged into it. The whole thing made no sense, and it made her scared.
She swilled her drink a little, admired the colours, and the barman's skill with mixing drinks. She thought about joining the conversation between the men at the bar but wasn't sure how welcome she would be. instead she took another sip and got back to her listening and thinking.

There had been two of them. A vampire, and that Werewolf he had just killed. Everything was according to plan. The Werewolf was stupid, and would not run, but vampires can tell when not to fight. The creature would flee to the city, leaving a trial behind it. Walking through the forest, he could see subtle tracks, a bent twig, the very angle that it had been dragged along suggesting that the vampires pace had slowed. He either didn't suspect he had been followed, or was closer to the city than anticipated. Either way, it was bad. If the vampire made it to the city, the guards would be on alert, while if he was just going slow, the boredom could kill him... the tracks had gone, disappeared suddenly. Looking up, he saw the beauty of the night sky. Well, not really, the real sight was gruesome pair of eyes looking back at him, and a pair of fangs, attached to a body hurtling towards Shade, arms flailed, looking to kill.

Olgras came into the tavern. A stinking hole of liars and thieves. He walked by one man and stole his wallet and gave it back to it's rightful owner.
"There's that back."
He kept walking, telling people the truth behind their friend's fibbery.
"He's cheating. She's pregnant and it's your fault. He's had AIDs this whole time. He's beating your mommy."
Then he stopped.
"Ohhhhh what's this?" He whispered to himself. He quickly turned and took a quick look at his interest. "Well ain't she just a story."
He walked over to the table that this girl was sitting at. He lifted himself off the ground and plopped himself on the table in front of her.
"So, angel eh?

[Woo]

Lula stiffened, looking into the goblins sightless eyes and seeing an unknown depth of understanding there. In a tremulous whisper she asked "How do you know?"
 The bar was in uproar behind her now, ale being thrown at friend and foe alike, tankards being broken over every head. All that was a world away. The stranger had her attention. 

[JiggMaster]

"I know a great many things, more than you do about yourself, Lula. I know you have a very special blood type. I also know something you may want to know. The identity and current location of the one who turned you into the thing you are now, the bloodsucker. Only if you tell me one thing though. I cannot actually access the one memory, it seems I can't figure out what happen that made you human. If you tell me that I'll tell you where this bloodsucker lingers."

[Woo]

Blushing, Lula stared long and hard at her drink. she had tried to forget all that, to push it far to the back of her mind, and normaly she would never even admit to her past, let alone share it. But, she somehow trusted the goblin. And he promised something too good for her to pass up.
 "I went against my master. I saw no longer any joy in the work I did, nor any change in the way it was to be done. I was young, naive, upset. and looking towards a life of tireless monotony, what had I to lose? I told them, I wanted change or I wanted out. They said out. thus, here I am.

[JiggMaster]

"So the god's messengers are closed minded? No real surprise. In any case I think you're more useful here anyways. If I know the angels, which I can assure you I do, they didn't leave you with nothing. I'd like to see what a retired angel can do. Come along, I'll show you to her."
He lifted himself yet again and set himself on the ground and began to walk out of the tavern.

[Woo]

Unsure and a little uncomfortable, Lula got up, quickly drank down her cocktail, and ran to the barman to collect her pint of milk she had asked for before. she then left a tip on the counter and ran out after the old goblin, the bottle tucked into a deep pocket in her long, black coat.

"Oh lord, not him again," Grunt muttered. If it were anyone but Olgras, he wouldve kicked them out in an instant, but since Grunt pretty much owed his life to him, there wasnt much to be done.
"Play nice there, Ollie. I dont want them authorities coming down asking questions, if you know what I mean. And I know you do."



After overhearing their neighbours conversation, Mathieu started to get nervous.
"And then he said..."
"Im sorry, Runose, but this isnt going anywhere," M rudely interrupted. "See you some other time, yeah? I have a furry feeling we'll meet again." He stood up and headed for the exit.

The rays of moonlight poured through the cracks in the walls and through the moth-bitten holes in the curtains, making their way to Mathieu's skin. He soon turned hairy and flashed his tired fangs at the couple by the door trying to chew each others heads off.

Literally.

OOC: I'm a little late there, but stick this somewhere between you two leaving.

A flash of silver, and the vampire darted to the side. they were often afraid of silver, particularly when that silver was also a sword. it would fatally damage him. I need him to lead me to the city, but if i spare him, and another parry. The vampire had the sword of the blood cult, obvious as it was stained red.  The creature bared it's fangs. This type of vampire, tainted by the blood cult, had all the weaknesses of a fictional vampire. Caving to the thirst, and feeding from a living victim, made vampires weak against UV, but only if they were first weakened by something. A blow from a silver sword would not prove fatal, but would not rapidly heal, leaving a wound for the UV to widen. the skin would stop the UV otherwise. that was the weakness he needed. I must kill him, it's too late now. And he went full on into the battle. The vampire and he, twisted around each other, in a complicated set of moves. he blocked a blow, and ran up the creature, back flipping, and his sword finding blood metal. Blocking a strike from above, and giving a low twist, foot lashing out, followed by sword, and rolling under the vampire who had just leaped off the ground. Shade lashed out with his sword, and left a wound in the vampire. The vampire yelped in pain, and tried to turn away, but it was too late. The UV blast followed up the sword, into the wound, and the vampire crumbles from the inside as his innards turned to dust, skin collapsing to the floor and turning into ash. "Crap... what n....". He ended early as just as he leaped from the small hill, the city appeared. Objective one, find the city, complete. Objective two, eliminate blood cult leaders, new primary.

Circum walked through the street. he walked up to a bar run by a goblin bartender. quietly he slipped in but to his dismay a small bell on the door jingled as he opened it. so much for a quiet entry he thought. with the eyes of the people on him he sat down in a darkish corner of the bar and stared back. quickly the people found more interesting things to stare at.

[Nimnim]

runose walks out of the bar, drunk as a skunk, he had had more porkbloods than he can handle. He spread his wings and drunkingly attempted to lift off the ground, but no avail, he instead fell on his face, and gets up. he then has a scared look on his face and screams..."ZOMBIES! KILL THEM ALL" and draws his sword, drunkingly swinging it around at invisible zombies.

[elephant]

Once he got out of the Moon Room, he decided not to open the umbrella, instead he just dragged it along with the tip of the dagger scratching dry asphalt, handle firmly in his paw-like hand.
Melancholy had caught up with him.

Mathieu was used to sensing people's intentions, repressed feelings and thoughts. The fact he could, made him paranoid, because he knew there had to be others gifted with this power. He also knew that one day he would pay for his voyeuristic privilege of sniffing through people's minds and that day might have had arrived.

The sheer fear of being read like an open book had made him flee.
But apparently, curiosity was far more powerful, which is why he was waiting for Olgras to come out.

....

[JiggMaster]

Olgras and Lula continued towards the door, then Olgras stopped and Lula hit something. Lula couldn't move forward anymore.
"Come on Matt! I can see where you are, now I know you have no intention to kill me. So why don't we do this in a bit more of a diplomatic way. I'm coming out."
He begins to walk out "You stay here for a bit" He says to Lula.

[elephant]

"What's the vampire doing here?" Mathieu asked, slowly walking towards both of them.
At the same time, in his head, chanting these words like a mantra:

Stay out of my damn brain. Stay out, or I will hurt the leech.
