Ice Cream (RP)

Max nods, not offended by the impression she gives of age. "Yeah, the streets have a way of making your soul old. They harden you up, kill your innocence, you know? You've had a good life Circe, I would think. Or at least, you're lucky enough not to have had a life like mine."

She considers Circe thoughtfully and takes a drag. "S'right, I'm not a vampire. The only blood I drink is from a gal named Mary, if ya catch my drift." She takes another drag. "But uhh... shit, I can't believe I'm telling you this. It's not like it's a secret or anything but... we just met and I haven't even got a chance to tell Benji yet."

Eventually she nods as if making a decision. "So yeah... normal is what I call people like us... I mean... like you. Is it rude? I mean yeah, probably, but I can't be bothered to think of a polite way to go about it. See... the thing is, six months ago I stopped being all that normal. I'm a werewolf now. The only one in London, as far as I or anyone else knows. Don't tell Benji, I want to talk to him about it myself. I need to ask him... ask him what it felt like when he first realized he was no longer human. Fuck of a lot to process, I'll tell you that much." She takes a second helping of the joint before she offers it to Circe again.

--Persephone--
Persephone lies sprawled sideways across her bed, naked, in human form, snoring. Viv lies naked nearby, similarly disheveled and sprawled awkwardly, as if she had collapsed and fell asleep where she lay. Persephone looks down and sees that the harness is on the floor--a bit of mess she will deal with later.

She sits up, stretches, and looks down. Seeing her human self, she shrugs and figures that she tired back after collapsing with exhaustion last night. Though, once again, she feels refreshed. Her phone buzzes and she finds it in a sofa cushion. Seeing it is from Emma, she opens it immediately and mumbles to herself, "Huh. I guess she's finished doing her Ice Queen thing. Good!"

She showers and begins to dress as Viv finally begins to stir, mumbling about how sore she is, though it's clear she isn't complaining. She looks up at Persephone with awe and admiration. Persephone goes to her and kisses her passionately and then says, "Honey, I have a work thing coming up. You can totally chill here while I go, if you want. Otherwise, it's time to get up! I'll make a pot of coffee." She buzzes about, doing hair and makeup, then makes the coffee and a protein shake in the kitchen.

Then she drinks her coffee and shake, checks in with Viv once more, and heads out to meet up with Emma. She arrives at the location from the map pin in a short time.

--Persephone--
Persephone arrives at the cafe, well put together and relatively calm. She wears a camel colored soft Ralph Lauren cashmere trench, a Tom Ford charcoal ribbed turtleneck, with a little red foulard for a dash of color (or French silk scarf worn around the neck), some black Alexander McQueen flared denim jeans.

She smiles and says, "Hello Emma! Benji! Emma... We can talk more later, but I did want I apologize. I was in a lot of pain and said things I regret. And I never meant anyone else to hear, so I hope no one else did... Needless to say, I am grateful that you reached out today."

She shrugs at the end and then says, "So what's this about a lead on Elliot? He's the missing vampire, right?"
