A different kind of dance
Rita had been keeping busy. Winter was really starting to hit them and she was enjoying the fact it was getting chillier out. She loved the cold!

What she didn't love was hearing about trouble. The kind of trouble she wanted to nip in the bud.

She was sure it was the kind of thing that would leave her terrified but she wasn't going to let a little fear stop her. So she hoped on her bike and went to track it down.

It took some work trying to pin it down because she was rubbish with directions.

Then by the time she found the area she was going to check out it was dark so she shivered just a little and hid her sword under her coat and slung her bag over one shoulder and started walking. She had to play up the poor innocent girl act a bit.

Too bad her hair and boots don't help capture that image very well.

	"Of course I do." She shifts her coat so he can see the pommel of her sword she has hidden on her. "I have other things too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smirks again as he calls his staff to him. "I'm sure." He advances on the service entrance, swiping a card from his pocket through the electronic lock to pop it open. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Handy," Rita mutters drawing her sword as she follows him. They need to be careful. She doesn't know how many vampires there are but it's less than five for sure. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was taught by the best." Vincent smiles softly, but focused on the task at hand. "Shroud of the Liesmith." He cloaks them both with an invisibility spell, motioning for her to be quiet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I..." But she goes silent, just so the spell is actually effective. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent takes her hand and moves onward. Invisibility can be disconcerting. He gestures with his staff down a flight of stairs to a sub-basement, nodding grimly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She gives him a look. She's fine and understands what's going on. She pulls her hand back and moves ahead of him and grabs a Light bomb from her bag. She'll be ready to throw it when she sees the vampires. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Making sure she's following, Vincent advances on the door at the bottom of the stairs. It seems to be jammed shut from the other side. He raises his staff and starts channeling a spell through it. He readies to blast the door open on the girl's signal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She hates that he puts himself between her and the door. Did she ask for help? She fights back the urge to be angry. She knows better because evil must be fought. She has the bomb an ready for throwing. "Close your eyes once the door is open," she mouths at him then just nods. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 09:13 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent nods, then spears the end of his staff into the door's lock. A quick explosion goes off, making the door swing open abruptly. He shuts his eyes in preparation for whatever she's about to do. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She throw the bomb and averts her gaze quickly. There is a bright flash of light and screams of pain and burning. "Now! They're stunned. It's just sun light,we're safe," Rita snaps then flies into the room to attack. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent rushes in behind her, calling upon Try of Battles to guide his movements. Being at the base of a building, and with an ally nearby, he needs to handle this with martial skill. His staff is shortly driven like a spear through one of the vampires' chests. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Some of them are smoldering from the bomb. She spins and cleaves one vampire's head off. Then she gets jumped from behind and thrown into a wall. "Shit!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	"Defense of the Bright One!" Vincent screams as he sees the girl get caught off guard. He creates a shield the size of a dinner plate, nearly impenetrable from either side. Of course, one's head rarely needs protecting from one's own neck, as one vampire just discovered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She stills herself for a moment to get a breath of air in she needed. Then she spun to continue fighting. "Just one more." She twirls her sword then attacks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The last vampire is fast, flitting about the chamber wildly as it copes with the wounds the light bomb inflicted. It dodges ahead of the sword, running for the door, but finding the other spell-caster in the way.

Vincent makes a lunge, but he hasn't been able to call upon Tyr again yet, and his movements are clumsy. He barely manages to hold the gap, as the vampire retreats to another corner of the basement.

"Wielder of Thunder and Earth, arm my ally with your righteous fury!" Vincent stamps his staff against the floor, and energy crackles across it, wrapping the girl's sword in lightning, ready to discharge against a target.

	This time Rita moves again. She doesn't like people messing with her sword as it's already magical but she wings again. It hits true and she smells burning undead flesh from the lightning. "Awesome." She finishes it off with a swing. "That was.... easy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent dusts off his staff, checking it for any undue wear and tear, as he does after every battle. "Yes, well, we're obviously professionals." He smiles. "Dinner?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm not dressed for usual places." Her sword gets hidden away. "But yeah. Sure." She pauses and offers him a smile. "I'm Rita, by the way." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	"Don't worry, I know some unusual ones." He grins, tucking his staff back away whence it came. "And I am still Vincent, a pleasure to meet you." He gestures to the way they burst in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She leads the way up and out of there. "Should we fetch my motorcycle," she calls over her shoulder. Vincent should get a nice view of.... shapely legs because she was very much dressed for bait on their way out. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-30 12:15 am UTC (link)
	As observed earlier, good bait. "Better than leaving it unattended, I suppose." Vincent nods. "What kind of food do you like? You killed more than I did." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2011-11-30 12:25 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not picky. I eat anything." She rugs the back of her neck. "High protein would be good. I may or may not be starting a long trip tonight." She glances back in his direction. "Maybe the morning Sometimes I get..... Tired after hunting." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-30 12:56 am UTC (link)
	"I know a good place for dinner, then. Where are you headed? I could make arrangements if you need a place to stay for the night." A pause. "Not that I'm trying to be presumptuous. My home simply has a lot of extra rooms." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I was going to ride my bike back out to Seattle. It takes a while," she admits. "I usually find myself fighting stuff on the way." She chuckles softly. "Do you always offer aid to strange women?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
