Persephone blushes and says, "Sorry… it was a mess in here and I didn’t want to feel embarrassed if you saw it… too late! But Viv, straight to the bedroom huh? Well, I wouldn’t call that ‘straight’," she giggles, as she approaches the girl with bedroom eyes.

She takes her by the hand and leads her to the freshly made bed. They sit next to each other and Persephone takes it VERY slowly, letting Viv lead on it and when to escalate. She takes her hand and lifts it to her lips, kissing it, then kissing the inside of her wrist, before gently placing it onto her breast. She leans in to kiss her.

Persephone recalls her first experiences with women—the fear, excitement, and intensity of it all—and she wants Viv to have a positive, memorable experience, one that will help her to embrace her identity with joy and love.

For now, at least.

Emma sighed softly to herself. Of course, it was just her luck, that out of all the vampires she could have run into, it had to be the one who couldn't see beyond her own immediate self-gratification. She was starting to feel more and more weary. She looked briefly down Tara's plunging cleavage, into her vapid eyes.

She really hoped there was something more than that. She tried reading it in her body posture, but the longer she looked at her, the more she started to worry that what she was seeing was all there was.

- Persephone -

"Oh? Uh, yes." Viviana stammers, as though only now realising the implication of where you are and blushing too, but not backing away.

"I don't know what to do." She whispers when her hand is on your breast, though she seems to have gotten the gist of it. She follows your lead, somewhat clumsily, but she is insatiable once started.

Hanna would be jealous, but she was young and you know more than she did. If you leave it here you will have given Viviana a good introduction to being a lesbian and have done a good thing. If you continue on your allotted path, you might undo all that good, and, presumably, also doom her soul as your is doomed...

What do you do?

"I guess that depends on your idea of fun..." she finally answers, trying to stall as she thinks of a way out of this mess

"DB said you were the expert on having fun." Tara says, she almost sounds like this new life as a vampire, even with all the trappings of non-stop parties and penthouse lifestyle has been unfulfilling.

"He said your blood was the best," —this is a lie, since he never tasted your blood— "and that you knew how to show a ... him a good time... that I shouldn't be jealous, because you would show me a good time, too, if I let him change me... I just want to have a good time."

She has been slowly edging closer to you, sniffing the air and is obviously intrigued by this 'best blood'.

Emma panicked.

She didn't know how much Tara might take if she bit her right here in Eliot's office, without anyone to intervene. She could easily drain her dry if she lost control, and it didn't look like she had much to begin with to lose. She still remembered how Chablis was totally intoxicated with her after just a few drops. It wasn't a risk she was willing to take.

She sensed backing away would only make things worse. Sorta like how a Lion would sense you're prey and pounce on you if you run away from it. Instead, she leaned in, and raising one hand, she gently trailed her fingertip down Tara's lips

"We should go back to the party then" she lowered her voice to a husky drawl "And I'll show you just how much fun I can be"

Tara shudders as your finger touches her lips, her mouth opens slightly and she slips it in, you can feel her teeth, but she does not bite down hard, just a nibble. It is clear what she has in mind, you are used to people thinking lascivious thoughts upon seeing you, but you are married.

"Boooring." Tara says about the part behind her. "It's much more fun in here. Isn't that why you came in here? I know it was not just for the money. You can tell me the truth."

What do you do?
OOC:
Figure Someone Out: 7 [ref].
  • 'how could I get your character to allow me to leave?'
    • You could allow her to drink... but you would need to roll Keep Your Cool [ref] to maintain enough control to not end up in hospital from blood loss (that is the 'worst case', on a 7-9 you probably should still go to hospital, but can choose to not.
    • You might be able to convince her that you are more valuable 'kept for later' that there are plenty of people to feed from right now, but that that might not always be the case. This could be through your suggested Let It Out to convince her to 'act on her own best interest'. You never need to keep your promises, there are no mechanical effects for breaking them, but there are in-world, social consequence.
    • There may be other, similarly scoped options if you want to come up with something else?
  • 'how could I put your character in my Debt?'
    • You realise that this might not be an option (which is valuable information). As it stands, she is not overly interested in building up Debts or thinking about the future. But she is also not overly concerned with handing out Debts, so it should not be hard if your way of dealing with the above question leads to it.

• She is asking: • what's your character hoping to get from ... coming in here? You could, possibly, try to hide the fact that you are here for information or the subject of that information, but mechanically she is going to learn something.

"Oh, that?" she tugged her shoulders when Tara asked her what she was doing here, as if it didn't really matter, because right now, it didn't "I was hoping to find Eliot’s backup drive. Information’s worth more than money these days."

Tara didn't allow her to leave, not even to rejoin the party. She had no options. Either she offered her blood willingly… or it would be taken by force. At least this way, she might keep Tara from snapping her neck like a twig

Slowly, she reached for the waistband of her pants and slid them down her ankles, kicking them off to the floor before climbing on top of Eliot's desk. Looking into Tara's eyes, she shamelessly spread her legs wide for her

"Just don’t take too much" she warned her, her heart pounding so hard she could feel it throbbing "Else there wouldn't be anything left for next time"

After Viv has had her fill, and a good deal more, Persephone winds down the play and holds her. They lie on the bed, sweaty and glowing, enjoying the post-coital bliss.

Maybe it was getting in touch with her body, or releasing so much tension, but Persephone is finally able to hear her inner feelings and thoughts.

This job didn’t have a specific timeline, so… I’m gonna go slowly, at least until they push… I … I can’t do that to her. Not yet, at least.

So she just holds her for a while. Then, in a quiet, soft voice, she says, "That was lovely. Thank you. I hope you enjoyed it? And, well, I’d like to see you again. And maybe, you know, get to know you better?"

Tara dismisses your answer, strangely disinterested as she seems to be about money, she cares even less about information and how it could be more valuable than money. It probably does not matter that she knows you have Elliot's drive... but you just have to hope she cares so little that she does not think to mention it to anyone else, others could make good use of that piece information.

As you drop you trousers Tara is forced to watch in fascination. She is drawn to you and can't help but sniff at your panties —with a small shudder of delight. It may be only the sound of your blood rushing though your femoral artery that protects the sanctity of the underwear and your honour, as Tara is diverted away from original target and first gives your thigh a long, slow lick before sinking her teeth in.

She is young and not experienced, and lacks the self-control of older vampires like Elliot and, from what you have heard, Benji. At least she is not starving and mad like Chablis was, so she takes her time, savouring the moment and your blood. She is way too strong for you to stop her, but, at some point you remember that Tara did not close the door when she entered and you have a significant audience. Maybe one of them pull Tara off you, you can't quite remember, your head is swirling.

Your clothing is way over there, where you kicked it, and your handbag is also open to the world, at least the money is on top...

The next thing you know you are dressed —though your have no recollection of doing that yourself— your bag —still bulging— under your arm, and the security guard from the lobby is helping you out of the elevator and offering to call an ambulance or to take you to the hospital. You have lost a lot of blood, but you would need to check if you are still bleeding, you might need stitches if you want to avoid scarring.

What do you do?

- Persephone -

"So, I didn't muck it up too badly?" Viviana ask, keeping it light but with a querulous note suggesting it is a real question she desperately wants an answer for.

"Um... I'm a bit sore... but 'again' sounds grand... maybe after we get a bite to eat." A stomach growls, it is either hers or yours, both of you have only had coffee today.

You have been at it for hours. Circe will be wanting to come home again soon —there are a few messages from her complaining about your taste in shops and that 'nothing here suits me'— and, uncomfortably, a missed call and then a message from Henry (obviously not a adherent to the 'three day rule') hoping to have dinner with your tonight.

What to you do?
Aug 4, 2025 8:31 pm
The fluorescent lights of the lobby felt as bright as staring at the sun. Her head throbbed, and she could barely lift her arms. She could hardly focus as she tried to piece things together.

She remembered sitting on Eliot’s desk, parting her legs as she deliberately teased Tara. The sudden sharp pain when she sank her teeth into her thigh. The blood flowing out of her body. Then she was lying back, back pressed against the desk, as Tara’s tongue slide up her thigh, licking her blood...

And now she was in the lobby.

Did she dress herself? She didn’t think she did.... she couldn’t remember doing it. Her blouse was buttoned incorrectly, but maybe that’s how she wore it earlier? She could feel the wetness in her panties. She hoped it was blood. God, she hoped it was blood!

Her stomach twisted as she assumed the worse.

The guard was saying something, but his voice sounded distant, as if coming from a great distance. She didn’t answer him, instead, she fumbled for her phone. What time was it? What day was it????

"Just...one moment"

She managed to open her phone and typed:

"Bev....I’m sorry. I was bitten. Can I come to the clinic? Please. I’m not sure what happened. I feel...wrong"
Aug 4, 2025 8:40 pm
- Emma -

The security guard supports you while you type. Your fuzzy head might bring forth the tidbit that your spent many hours in the hospital last night, and saw no sign of Bev... but that does not mean anything, right? It was probably her off-shift, which might mean she is working now... no reason not to head there... Bev is not answering... She has not been in contact since last week... the security guard is looking at you with concern.

"Is someone coming to get you, ma'am?" He asks, his voice sounding all far away and distorted.

What do you do?

Persephone tilts her head and says, "Awww, honey! You were great!" Then she comes closer and places her hand on Viv's cheek. She speaks with kindness, saying, ""One thing you'll learn is that sapphic, or lesbian, sex is not like typical cis het sex. With men, sex is often very goal-oriented. Men's sexuality is like a stretching rubber band--tension builds and builds and they seek release. If they don't reach it, they are frustrated. Once they do, they are finished. And things like skill and experience help build that tension and reach that release in the most intense and pleasurable way."

"With most women, however, sex isn't like this; instead, our pleasure waxes and wanes like ocean waves. And the waves can keep rolling in, indefinitely. So we can keep doing it until we get tired, or thirsty, or hungry, or whatever! And the whole time it's enjoyable. So it's much more about the journey than the destination. And what makes the journey enjoyable is less about 'skill' and 'experience,' but vulnerability and intimacy. Which is to say, Yes! it was lovely!"

Then she laughs and says, "And when I mentioned seeing you again, I didn't mean... like right now! I'm sore too... And my little sister will be coming back soon! You can stick around if you'd like to meet her? For now, though, how about we order some food?" . She smiles at Viv and says, "Lemme order something for us real quick..." She pulls up a food delivery app and just re-orders whatever she got for lunch last time, so that it is over quickly, giving her a bit of time to send two more texts.

First, she sends Circe a text: Sorry about that! The meeting is over. I'm just having a late lunch with a girl I'm dating now. We can try some of the hipper shops tomorrow, ok? Then she sends Henry a text, saying, Hi cutie! Sure, dinner tonight sounds great! Sorry I was in work meetings all day... Let's connect at, say, seven?

Persephone has the distinct sensation of trying to juggle one too many balls at the moment, with a feeling of overwhelm creeping in. For now, though, she feels as if she is pulling it off. At least it keeps her mind busy!

Then she puts her phone away and returns her attention to Viv, moving over to her and kissing her softly. "OK, food's on the way! You want some water?"
Aug 5, 2025 12:43 am
Benji sighs, a bit sad, and lets his hand drop. "I’m just chatting to you because I wanted to apologise and make sure you’re both okay," he explains. "I don’t normally bite people like that." Catching Frank’s skeptical look, he raises an eyebrow. "You don’t believe me? About the vampire thing? I thought that’s what you were doing down here— looking for monsters, no?"
Aug 5, 2025 3:51 am
Bev’s not answering. Why wasn’t she answering? Was she avoiding her? Was something wrong?
Her throat was really dry, and everything was spinning around her. Even the phone felt so heavy in her fingers.

She clutched onto the security guard’s arm, leaning against him softly, and raised her head so she could look into his eyes:
"Can you take me to hospital?"

Viviana looks sceptical at your 'honey, you were great' comment, she has heard those exact words before, only to hear from others that she was reported as 'a cold fish'. "So you ... didn't arrive?" She asks, clearly still 'goal orientated' and trained to fixate on the destination. A lot of your jargon goes over her head, and she is starting to tune you out when you get into lecture mode.

"Do you need to be somewhere?" She asks when you are busy sending texts after ordering. "I don't really want to leave..." She starts to say, but by then you have ordered food and invited her to 'meet the family' —which seems like a big step— and turned your attention back to her.

"Waves and waves, you say?" Viviana says, returning your kiss with a playful bite of the lip. "The food will take a while to get here... whatever shall we do to pass the time?" She doesn't do sex-kitten overly well, but she is making a spirited attempt.

Circe may be on her way home, after your report of 'meeting over'

What do you do?

- Benji -

"Yes." Frank says, while at the same time Ernie says "No." in answer to your question of if they are down here 'looking for monsters'. Ernie has reached his gear, and feels a little more confident now that he is armed, at least he hasn't spoken into his radio, though you can see its illuminated face glowing faintly orange on his harness.

"No. We work..." Frank starts to explain, but Ernie cuts him off again.

"Why are you down here, Bennie?" He asks suspiciously.

What do you do?

"Of course." The security guard says. He hesitates a moment, trying to decide how to do this, cab vs car and such, before radioing in for a replacement at reception and leading you down to the parking garage.

He drives an old Toyota Hilux, which he has to help you into. The ride is bouncy and you hurt when you sit, but he bullies his way through traffic, making others get out of his way due his lack of concern for dings, and gets to the hospital drop off in short order.

An orderly takes you in, seeing the blood on your slacks he gets you to the front of the queue and you are soon with a doctor in the A&E examining room, your trousers off again.

There are questions: What happened? Is that a bite? Do you need us to do a rape kit? Do we need to get the police involved? ... and on and on.

The security guard dropped you off at the front, then went to find parking, and is now waiting nearby in the lobby. You don't know what he has told them.

Your head is starting to clear, and you can think again.

What do you do?
Aug 5, 2025 12:35 pm
Emma gave the doctor some flimsy excuse about a snake bite. No, she didn’t want to involve the police. Her head was starting to clear after they hooked her to an IV, but when they posed the question about a ‘rape kit’, she felt the panic rise in her chest again. All she could do was give them a silent nod. She kept her eyes down after that, unable to meet the doctor’s eyes, as she waited for the results.
