Damen staggered, and caught Amy in his arms. "Girl, watch where you're....." he stopped and watched her, sniffing. "Watch where you're going." Mila shot the girl a glance out of the corner of her eyes, and scowled. Damen looked back at Mila, with a hunger pained expression on his face. "Don't you dare Damen." was all Mila could say and shook her head. "But..but...she has pure blood...fresh pure blood....where do we find that now a days?" He winced like a pup awaiting a treat, and Mila still shook her head. "Absolutely not Damen. Some other time I would care less, but not right now. We have meetings to attend to!" Damen shook his head and winced some more, then looked back at the girl. "What's a day walker like you doing in a night walkers territory at this time of night anyway?"

[[ I've been pretty good. Just throwing myself back into this sort of thing for once in a long time. ]]

(( Thanks! ))

Name: Lavi Huntington Age: 21 Gender: Male Sexual Orientation: Gay (but not in appearance, close friends would know) Race: Werewolf Bio: Lavi was born an interesting type of werewolf, his shifts are usually violent and not voluntary. He spends all of his time in the Magic District because of this. He was shunned by his mortal family after his first change as an infant and was only left alive by the good graces of one of his parent's grounds keepers. He has an extremely friendly demeanor that could be connected to the dog inside of him. Lavi spends most of his time with a beer in hand as hes found over the years that being a little 'tipsy' helps to control his changes and leave him more himself. Looks: Reference Other Things: Being a werewolf gives Lavi a lot more strength regardless of his form so he sometimes gets a little messy if he's too drunk and running into things. The strength also makes him very good in a fight.

Lavi stumbled into Grimm's, using a wall to brace himself. He'd just gotten back from one of his more unpleasant shifts and still felt the adrenaline shaking his limbs. He glanced around the shop, seeing his usual crowd sitting already. Pushing off the wall, he moved past the bar and grabbed his usual beer, already waiting for him. Taking a long drink from it, he let the alcohol move through his veins. He walked a bit unsteadily to the table and gave the group a smile, knowing his appearance easily said where he'd been. He chose a seat closer to Avy, knowing she'd be able to deal with his clumsiness. "Hey Avy, and friends." He said, a bit too cheerfully with his beer mostly gone already. He sat down heavily beside her and felt the chair beneath him slide out, leaving him to land on the floor with a thud. "Looks like I got the cheap seat." He said with a lopsided grin. He then noticed that Braxton had a more serious expression on his face and wondered if he'd interrupted anything.

Amy got up and looked at Damen as she regained her balance, "I work at Grimm's all the time and I was just going to run home real quick before my night shift starts," she said smiling at Damen. " I actually know who you are, your Damen Iveretti. Your go to Grimm's allot a nightlife most of the poor and middle class vampires around here. Your sign your name pretty fancy on the bill of all the alcoholic vampire drinks you get. You are actually one of my favorite customers because your not a jerk like the really older looking ones that come here" Amy said to Damen. 

"That's because, Amy, I'm not as old as they are yet. Give me another century or two, and then we'll see." He crossed his arms as he stared down the girl. "You're just lucky I'm not that hungry right now; or you'd be going to your night shift well....a little less alive." He smirked and looked at Mila, who was now staring down the girl real hard. "Come Damen, we mustn't be late. After all, you were trying to rush me earlier. Why should we stop just because you've met an acquaintance on the street?" She crossed her arms as well, and tapped her foot, as if she were impatient. But oddly enough she was doing this for the protection of the girl alone, knowing that Damen was actually VERY hungry, and they both had no time to waste. "It's amazing however, how you remember so much of such little detail Amy." He licked his lips, and closed his eyes. "But for now, it isn't important. Dear Mila here is right about one thing, we don't have much time." In fact, he wasn't referring to how much time he had to talk, but how much time was left before all hell broke loose between the day and night walkers.

"Ok that is fine, I am sorry I fell I just had a lot on my mind today but maybe I will see you later at Grimm's tonight. I am working full shift and it is going to be a little crazy tonight since all the older male night creatures are having there last couple drinks because tomorrow the invitations for the ball go out tommorow to all males over 16 in the whole district. Since the ball is in a couple of days they will be going through all the trouble to get ready for it with the girl they asked to go with them. Since the ball lands on my birthday every year Grimm's is usually slow that night so I get a nice gift of being off my feet." Amy said. She then waved good bye to Damen and walked past him. She went home and grabbed a spell book that she just got and headed back to Grimm's. She walked back in and sat down with her friends while she was still on break. "Hey Lavi how have you been," Amy said waving to Lavi.

"Damen. Really. The bartender? Do you know how many vampires, some even older than you want her?" She sighed and looked back at Damen as she started to walk forward. Damen shook himself out of his trans and gazed up at Mila. "Well? Are you coming or not? I can just as easily tell Christian you bailed on us and that you're 'out'." Damen shook his head and jogged over to her, grabbing her by the arm, quite tightly. "If you ever tell any of the elders, or newbloods that I was thinking about it, I will take you forever." Mila laughed and shook her head, "Don't tease me with a good time Damen."

Lol I need to make my characters a little more social. xD

Lavi had picked himself back up, carefully sitting back on the re-positioned chair. He'd been fiddling with his now empty bottle, watching the incoming night crowd, when Amy returned again for her shift. He watched her walk by and smiled when she addressed him. "Hey Amy!" He said, waving back. He got to his feet and started to sloppily walk after her towards the bar, "I've been good, can't complain, how about you?" He asked, sliding onto a stool at the bar and putting down his empty bottle on the counter.

  "I have been good, I am getting ready to finally turn eighteen and plus I can do what ever I want on my birthday cause my parents are out of town for the next month," Amy said with a smile, " Anyways guys get what just happened to me." "What happened Amy" Liam said with curiosity while look at her with a curious face. " I tripped and fell into Damen vampire guy and he was like in awe of me," she said giggling a little bit. " Oh gosh Damen he is always so desperate when it comes to women poor man is comically lonely" Liam said.

Saphinel and Rexilyle came into Grimm's shop arm in arm, singing a Gaelic tune. When they were through, they couldn't help but laugh at each other. "Sometimes I wonder if others think were drunk" Saphinel laughed. Rexilyle grabbed her hand and skipped over into the restaurant. They were placed at a table way off in the back. "So have you found a girl?" Rexilyle asked, as the waiter/waitress walked off. Saphinel pouted and shook her head. "Have you had any luck?" she asked. He shook his head and said, "Some of the boys think I am too 'old' for them. And I can't find a girl like you". Saphinel giggled. "Well I am sorry that I only bat for the ones with boobs"

Damen took Milas hand and let into a large greystone building. Mila looked around at the vampire council, and at the age of the building. "Evening gents, and ladies." She did a quick bow, and smiled, her shopping back still on her wrist. "Hope we didn't keep you guys waiting for too long." Damen nodded and closed the door, studying Mila from behind. He thought to himself, "If she wasn't such a crazed witch (( substituted b for w )), she'd be a great catch for someone one day." Mila stood back up and put her hands together over her mid-drift. "Now, to get down to business. I know you need me for a high order, now what might that be?" Damen came and settled beside her, like a lap dog, and just listened.

The Eldest member of the council, Christian Valmedori, stood and said nothing. Instead he reached his hand over, and handed her a scroll. "Really? We came all this way for a scroll?" she thought to herself and nodded. "Will that be all?" Christian turned his hand over and opened it, moving his arm in a slow motion from left to right, signaling it was time for them to leave, probably because he could read her thoughts, and how incredibly rude she was being. "Alright Damen, let's go." Damen followed closely behind Mila, and left the big beautiful building. "And that was just as easy as getting this scroll in the mail." Mila sighed and shook her head.

Avy smiled brightly. She always liked the way Braxton blushed whenever she addressed him. He seemed to be so easily embarrassed whenever she talked to him. It made her smile that someone would be like that when it came to herself. She wasn't easily embarrassed, but Braxton tended to set her heart a flutter more often than not. Probably because he was such a sweetheart and the kind of guy she got along well with. They had a good friendship and Avy liked being around him more than she did the others. They were so loud and rambunctious. It made her wonder how Braxton and her ever became friends with them. At least they kept things interesting.

She chuckled nodding her head slowly. He was getting all flustered and it was adorable. "Well I'm sure you'll remember whatever it is you wanted to ask me. You always do in the end. Probably something about my species considering you're reading a book on us," Avy replied, gesturing toward his book. He had a certain fascination with the elves and Avyra loved telling Braxton all about her kind. It made her feel proud that someone enjoyed learning about them. She narrowed her gaze at Braxton when his face became completely alert to something else.

She leaned toward him. "What's wrong?" Avy asked, just as Lavi entered Grimm. He looked like he'd just gotten out of a shift. His body was shaking and his skin looked pale and covered in sweat. He was already carrying a bottle of beer and was probably drunk off his ass. She shook her head as he attempted to take a seat beside her, but the chair flew out from beneath him and he fell to the floor after greeting the table. She nodded to his acknowledgement and watched him climb back into the chair. Several seconds later Amy entered the room blabbering about some vampire she'd run into who was all gaga for her. She rolled her eyes as Lavi followed her to the bar stumbling as he took a seat on a barstool. She quickly shifted her attention back to Braxton. He seemed to be the only sane one at this place and looked for his comfort. "Braxton. What's going on?" She asked again, concern on her face.

     Amy looked at her watch and saw it was going on 8 o'clock, she turned to Lavi. "Hey Lavi it will be nightfall in minute, you might want to go in another room when you change into a werewolf for the night so you don't scare anyone. " Amy said as the night creatures began to pour into the bar. "Oh yes the drunken idiots pour into the bar to commit more crimes that make us day creatures suffer more with rules." Liam said.

((short, sorry I am sick))

Lavi sat picking at the edge of the bar counter, easily able to hear Avy asking Braxton what was wrong. He was intrigued and felt a prickle of worry seeping through his drunken outer layer. There were always rumours of this and that going around Grimm's but rarely did any of them merit any actual worry. However, he knew that if Avy was at all uneasy, there was good reason for everyone else to be as well. He was listening intently, waiting for any information when Amy spoke to him again. He looked up, quickly replacing his wary expression with a smile.

"Actually my transformations don't really work that way," he said with an easy laugh. "I can honestly say I'm glad of that too. It mostly acts up with trigger scents or emotions, but I already went for a turn around the block this evening so I'm all set. You don't have to worry about me frightening anyone away, thanks for the concern though!" He glanced at the gouge marks he was leaving in the table from his fingers and moved his hands quickly to his lap, "Sorry about that, do you think I could get another beer?"

(Wow I didn't know any one has posted in this. >.< I didn't even post my intro and never got any pings until just now...... Can I get a recap?)

Damen looked around and stepped into the bar with Mila, assuming his usual seat in the back corner, throwing his feet up on the seat across from him, as Mila sat next to him. "So you mean I actually get to see you drink? An actual drink from the bar?" She sarcastically faked a shocked expression and unrolled the parchment, but Damen quickly snatched it away from her. "Are you crazy? Don't you know what plans you can be unraveling by opening that here with roaming eyes!? Think Mila...Honestly. Sometimes I just wish you would stop and think!" Mila blinked and stayed silent, for once, and crossed her arms looking away from Damen.

Damen sighed, and placed a hand on her arm and put his feet to the floor. "Mila come on, don't do this. Not here. Please!" She shook her head and turned from Damen, wiping away real tears this time. "Damen, good luck with those plans. You might as well just keep them in your pocket. I'm out." she said in a quivering voice, and got up, walking away and out of the bar. Damen scoffed and got up, trying to chase after her but she was already gone. "Shit. She could actually die here at night if she isn't in my sights. Ughh..." At that moment Damen showed that he COULD care if he wanted to. Just depended on the person is all. Damen looked around and knew if he had a heart, he'd feel it breaking somewhere right around this point. "Mila! Come back!" he called from the bars doorway, but after about ten minutes of calling her, he turned around and stepped back into the bar.

"Amy...the usual. Please." He took a seat at the counter, and put his head down. Damen knew if anything had happened to Mila, Christian would hold him solely responsible and nothing good could come of that. Meanwhile, Mila was just wandering around in Vampire territory, knowing that no matter where she went, it wasn't completely safe for her. "Damen...why do you have to be such an idiot..." her voice was still shakey as she sat down on a bench and hid her face in her hands. Mila honestly knew that she had feelings for Damen, but they clearly weren't returned feelings. "Why do you do this to yourself Mila...?" She sighed and looked down at the ground.

[[ I would say that was a well needed three paragraph post to get my creative juices flowing again! ]]

    Amy looked at Lavi who was extremely typsy,"Ummm ya one more but maybe wait a little bit after it," Amy said. She went and got another bottle of Exo and Burties Ice Beer. She put on in front of him and went back to waiting tables. Amy then saw the whole thing with Damen and Mila happen, then he came and asked for a drink and she got him one from behind the counter. She turned the the tap off and let the mixture of pig's blood, alcohol, and cauldron fizz sit for second to let the fizz die down a little bit. She then she took it over to Damen and placed it on his table, "Here you go I put a little extra in cause you seem very stressed out from that whole situation. It is never good for a vampire to be stressed, it is worse than anything under stress. I read that in book" Amy said smiling and being nice to him. "Hey look Amy is talking to that blood sucker again. This is going to be funny I love when a vampire suffers haha" Liam said to his friends pointing towards Amy and Damen.

(( noting really we are just all in the bar at night))

"A book? You learn all you know about Vampires from a book? Honestly, if you wanted to know how Vampires really live I could show you. Bet you'd never think twice before speaking to one again." Damen smirked and sat back in his seat, sipping his drink. "Can I ask you a question about another being? Women. What is the deal with them?" He shook his head and sat forward, leaning his elbows on the bar counter. He had no idea where Mila had gone off to, and no idea why she freaked out the way she did, but maybe now he'd learn a thing or two about women.

Meanwhile, Mila was still sitting on the bench as other Vampires walked passed her, smelled her, and smelt Damen all over her. "Ah another pet, another toy for Damen Iveretti. How sad." They in fact didn't seem sincere or upset one bit. If anything, any Vampire would love to get the chance to mess around with Damen; old or new blood, it didn't matter. "Will you just go. I'm not having a very fortunate night. Unless you want to end up as ashes on the ground I'd suggest you turn around and go to where it was you were going in the first place." Mila had a serious look on her face, and was in no mood to mess around with a Vampires trivial game tonight. The Vampire scoffed and just walked off, leaving Mila to herself once again.

 "Well I have never had chance to experience the true night life of he district I have always dreamed of walking on the shadow side of the road it is interesting thing you night creatures," Amy said to him, "But hey I have been working here every night for years. I could get a day off on my birthday but what would I do no one has ever asked me to the ball that falls on my birthday. The ball is great it is like very one forget that they are night or day creatures and they just have fun for the night to celebrate who they are." Amy then used her magic to refill Damen's drink and made a shape of vampire fangs in the fizz of the drink with her magic. "Well from what I saw she is the type of girl who is stubborn and always has to have it her way and nothing else,"Amy said to Damen.

(( did you hear that Amanda is making a new album right now in Australia))

Holly watched the nigh creatures walk in. "Harper has always wanted to see someone transform into a werewolf." Holly said. Harper shot Holly a scolding look. "I'll go get us some drinks." Harper said as she walked up to the bar. She walked over to Amy and the guy she was talking to. "Sorry to interrupt but could I get the usual? And in Holly's could you possibly put something in it to make her shut up about me? If I cast a spell on her dad would find out...he knows my magic" She told her. She looked at the vampire and looked away quickly. She hadn't been close to a vampire before. This was a definite first. She kept her eyes down at the bar and her body language read uncomfortable.

Holly then turned her attention to Leon. "You going to the ball?" She asked him. He shook his head. "Why not?" She asked. He shrugged. "Then go with Harper and I." Holly told him. Leon gave her a quizzical look right then and there.

  "Sure thing and I can see what I can do for a little shut the bloody hell up spell," Amy said then turned to Damen " I am just going to get their drinks." Amy went and got Holly and Harper there drinks. She took Holly's drink and whispered a spell and used her magic to charm the drink. She then gave them to the girls, "Umm Holly only non mortal males over sixteen are invited to the ball. The tradition is that the male has to give there invitation to the person they want to go to the ball with if they accept it they go to the ball with them if they don't, they don't go with them." Amy said giggling at Holly and Leon's puzzled look. She then walked back over to Damen, "Crazy isn't, they at least know they get to get all pretty upped and go have there Cinderella moment, even though Cinderella and all the other royal princesses became spoiled snots." Amy said to Damen.
