Vampire In The Moonlight (Open)

[Man of Many Murders]

Julius stood on the dock in front of the North Central garden. For all he could tell he was alone at the moment. And that was the way Julius wanted it to be. He was dressed in his normal attire of a black suit like pants and a white polo shirt. His eyes were purple in color and as the moonlight struck his body it gave it an odd glow. Julius reached behind his suit coat and pulled out his two guns. He would not need these. Not for the moment anyway. Letting them fall to the floor Julius took off his suit coat letting it drop to the floor. As it did he began to undo the buttons of his dress shirt. It was a very good thing he was alone because as looks of it this person was undressing for unknown reasons. Well reasons unknown to everyone besides Julius himself. Julius had a mental sheild around his mind as always blocking anyone from reading it. He had spent years perfecting this technique. As he stood on the docks he let his dress shirt drop to the ground. Julius took in a deep breath. Every once in a while he had to let himself unleash. Had to let the vampire inside him get out. Otherwise it still had a chance of taking ahold of him when not wanted. Julius skins suddenly grew much paler as his fangs grew wider and his eyes went from purple in color to a bright red. The veins in his face as the bloodthursty vampire was unleashed. Hopefully people would be smart to stay away.

There were smart people in this grand old world...and then there were people with the common sense of a rock. Estrik whistled along the beaten path, arriving at the site in which Julius was undergoing his transformation from 'human' to bloodsucker. Estrik was not wearing his usual blind fold, although a pair of stylish sunglasses were over his eyes, as well as a bandanna obscuring his face. A plain hoodie and jeans was what he wore, emanating almost a bank-robber feel about him. Although, when you couldn't actually see what you were stealing made it pretty hard to steal. From his side hung Kensei, making muted clanks with each step he took towards the metamorphose Julius. Ryumizu floated beside him, then over him, beside him again, etc., as if circling some precious cargo.

"So, are you going through some extremely tough mental battle right now or do you just enjoy stripping randomly?" Estrik asked. His 'mental image' of Julius went from the traditional red outlined blue figure to more of a purple blend as the transformation to more of a vampire took place, so Estrik knew a bit before he walked in blindly...literally. He just enjoyed making the sarcastic remark every now and then as comic relief to some invisible audience.

Krios wandered about. 'God damn it... This place is too big.' he growled to himself. He looked around and spotted two people. "Uh. Hello there?" He called rather timidly as he stared at the two. One of which seemed to be stripping, and that sent a shiver down Krios's spine. Oddly enough, was rather homophobic so he hoped that these people didn't go that way.

Julius eyes shortened closer together. As Estrik arrived and spoke to him Julius the words went in his ear and out the other. In this state Julius was seeing thing much differently. As Estrik stood before him all Julius could see was his outline. And inside that outline Julius could see the rushing blood flowing through his veings. And it looked absoultly delicious. As his lips moved Julius mind was telling him to tackle the man to the ground and eat that tasty blood as his. And as another person came the temptaion rose. His entire mind was hungry and that was all he could think of. Just like an animal. And in this state that's what he was. In a small corner of Julius' mind a small voice was telling him to leave these two alone. Well that voice was a tad to small. And it showed as while using amazing speed Julius charged Krios fangs out ready to sink into his neck.

"By the six hells, what the-?!" Krios cut himself as he darted out of the way. Not knowing anything about vampires, he assumed something else. "L-look sir, I'm not like that.. So, uh.. If you'd kindly leave me be I'll, uh.. Be on my way." Krios stammered.

[demonfire]

Estrik, not knowing too well what Krios meant, took a quick peek in his head to discover the answer to this arcanum. As he did, underneath the sunglasses his eyes grew wide in surprise. Estrik put his hands to his knees as he bent down a slight bit, laughing as hysterically as a hyena. "Vampire dude, this kid over here thinks that you're--" he said, pausing as he ran out of breath from laughing. He wiped away a tear from his eye as the fit passed with a smile on his face. "Oh, now that's a good one. He isn't gay, my guess is mister Vampire over here just needs a bit of blood to feed on. And since you're the only real human here..." Estrik said, drifting off and looking at the sky in an innocent way. "Just so you know...I guess I'm already 'taken'--is that the lingo for people who are essentially canteens?--by Eithne, many sorries, but I guess Krios is the only prey here tonight," he said as he leaned back on air in a mime-like fashion, being held up by his own telekinesis. He was content that he had essentially just sold out another and saved his own skin, for that was how Estrik was. Self-preservation over preservation of others was his motto.

Julius payed no attention as he tackled Kiros on the ground. His eyes flashed towards Estrik as he burst out laughing the blood in him rushing faster as he got excited. Julius watched the blood rush through his veings as Estrik said something about being used already. But the matter of the fact was. Julius didn't care. He never used a single specimen for his feeding only. And he almost never used the same person twice. Even though Julius could see the marks where another vampire's lips had been Julius simply ignored them as he himself charged Estrik. The matter was simple to Julius. The person with the warmer more excited blood got his attention. And that was the person he was after. The fact that Estrik was being used by another vampire meant little to Julius. It was mearly as if he was tasting the lips of another vampire. If he managed to drink from Estrik's blood that is. And as he grew inches away from his blood thirst in his eyes the thought of how Estrik might retaliate never occured to him.

"I'd prefer not to be bitten, thank you," Estrik said as he jumped sideways onto the edge of the dock. He reeled backwards, his arms flailing as he tried to keep balance of himself. Estrik could be compared with felines by the fact that he did not like swimming. He was fine and dandy with water, just not swimming or wading.

Estrik fell backwards onto the water before stopping via some invisible force. He got up, with just his back soaking wet. He raised up slightly, taking his shoes out of the superfluous liquid, or at least in Estrik's opinion. Estrik shook out his shoes in a vain attempt to dry them, "Like I said, I'd prefer not to be bitten. If you want to bring it to violence, then let me just say one thing, do you really want to try?" Estrik's face emanated a cocky so-you-think-you-can-do-it feeling, as if challenging Julius.

"Vampire?..." Krios didn't move from the ground. He had heard of them before, but had never really listened to the stories that the elders had told. Krios watched as Estrik seemed to have a nice little chat with the blood-sucker. Silently he unsheated his sword, and without making a sound he began to walk toward the vampire. He had a feeling things were about to get messy.

Julius landed on his arms and legs like a beast as he watched the outline of Estrik dodge him. Julius noticed the outline of his mouth moving but no words came out of it. All he could see was the blood inside them. They looked so tasty at that moment. But it was clear this boy was a tough opponent. Julius didn't know how much time he had to get his feeding. He decided he would choose the lesser opponent instead of the richer blood. Besides his blood had been used by a vampire before. Julius' eyes flashed towards Kiros and the blade he had in his hands. It would be easy to dodge the blade and even if it was made of silver, which Julius doubted he believed it would not give him much trouble. Julius ran towards Kiros and as he did he used speed unable to be seen by the human eye.

"How about you just go sponge off of a squirrel or something?" Estrik said with some stress apparent in his voice. His place in the water lowered a bit, as he attempted to sweep Julius off of his feet. The slightest tint of blue appeared by the vampire's feet in a sweeping motion. Julius may have been too fast to see with the human eye, but it was a good thing Estrik didn't use his eyes, or was completely human for that matter. In his 'view', a slight foreshadowing to his movements was seen via a slight change in tint of the purple, a purple that was more transparent. If this Julius was human, Estrik might have been ignorant to that little fact, as the blue would have just collided with the blue of the landscape, making it invisible even to the blind child.

"Now, stop trying to feed off of us nice pedestrians. It begins to pose a problem when either A. One is terrified to death of you and will end up with some weird, unexplainable complex that ends up vegetating the person, or B. is already sick of being fed off of. I suggest some animals or something. Like I said earlier, go feed off of a squirrel. Easier meal," Estrik said, shrugging, now slightly rising back up 'on' the water.

[Jackie]

Krios rolled his eyes, "Leave me the hells alone! I just got to this cursed place and already someone wants to eat me!!" He freaked out as he sheated his sword, which would allow him to move faster. "I don't plan on dying today.." Krios whispered to himself.

[Man of Many Murders]

A flash of blue water came towards Julius' feet. He had known the other would act and was prepared for it. As estrik attacked Julius he forced himself into a side roll on a diagonal. One that hurt alot thanks to the speed he was going and the way he rolled. But it was enough to dodge Estrik. Which was good enough for Julius. Julius eye's were still on the other. His lips were moving that Julius could tell. But he could also see that the blade was now sheathed. Julius decided to attack. From where he was he leaped into the air like a lion attempting to take it's prey. Julius' hands were outstreched his fangs long and ready to sink into the man.

"Well then, guess you've succumbed a bit too much to still retain any humanity," Estrik said with a sigh. He unsheathed the katana at his hip and rolled up his left sleeve. Estrik gripped the sword with his right and cut into his arm on the left, wincing underneath the sunglasses and his mouth grimacing under the bandanna. A cut was made on his arm, and Estrik held it as for it to drip to the ground, "Mmm, nice blood ain't it?"

Ryumizu went through some telepathic conversation with Estrik and knew what he had to do. Ryu readied himself, with drips of water turning into ice escaping its muzzle.

Krios quickly scurried away from the vampire. "Go suck a tree dude.. Y'know.. Become like a vampire hippie or something. Sucking human blood is bad for you.. Who knows what disease we might carry?" Krios was trying to buy himself some time. He had to figure out a way to get the vampire into the water. If he could do that he figured would be able to escape.
