Regroup (RP)

"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?

"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'.

What do you do?

- Emma -

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?

- Emma -

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?

"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?

- 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?

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?"

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?

- Emma -

"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?
