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.

It had been almost over two years, but Vincent still had trouble dealing with the cold. It had been something he was conscious of as a child, but the cold that Earth had to offer had never been anything he had to worry about. Still, winter in the city was lovely, so he was out for a walk. Something pinged at his consciousness however. It wasn't anything hostile, so he took his time heading in its direction.

	Rita had to start heading west as soon as she was done here. She missed Seattle. But tonight was about cleaning up a problem. And dressing up as bait and walking the streets after dark wasn't her idea of a good time. She could work with this though. It could be fun anyways. She had missed hunting.

	A flash of vivid red catches Vincent's attention as he rounds a corner, blinking momentarily as he finds himself in front of a rather striking young woman. "Hello there." He watches her curiously, something about her aura being unusual. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Uh... Hi." She's defiantly a looker too. But her coat is hiding some of what she looks like. What can be seen though is... eye catching. Very pretty on her though somehow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Now the awkward part. Often enough, people can have some discernable magical capacity but be uninitiated, and tend to take it badly if you just tell them there's something supernatural about themselves. "Miss... are you having trouble with something? You seem distressed." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm fine." She steps back and gives him a stern look. "You shouldn't assume a lady walking alone is in distress." She knows as long as she can attract the vampire or vampires everything will be just fine. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 07:15 pm UTC (link)
	"It's not the fact that you're walking alone that makes me think you're in distress." He says evenly, lowering his head in apology. "There's... a tension around you. Something not normal. I tend to be rather familiar with 'not normal'." Vincent makes a small fireball in one hand, then extinguishes it again. "I'm kind of famous for it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2011-11-29 07:34 pm UTC (link)
	She just gives him a look. A stern kind of look. "You shouldn't do that in public. I don't care that Dr Strange himself has been in the news. That's still not the kind of thing you just show off." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	He furrows his brow. "Dr Strange is a great man, yes, but don't you recognize me? Vincent Vernard, of the Fantastic Four?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sorry but I couldn't hear that over how awesome you think you are," she can't help but say. Then she just rolls her eyes. "I can't do what I need to do if you're here. You'll throw my act off." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 07:40 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent wants to get annoyed, but damn, that was good. He laughs. "What act?" He looks around with concern now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2011-11-29 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	"Haven't you ever played bait?" She just gives him a look but can't help the way that look turns into a smirk. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 08:07 pm UTC (link)
	And he can't help but just look her over, again, and smirk back. "Good bait. What else does it attract?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2011-11-29 08:08 pm UTC (link)
	She's glad it's cold otherwise she might blush. "Vampires." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Suddenly, Vincent is all business.

"Are you tracking a specific nest or just hoping to find something?" He looks around carefully, putting his back towards a wall, as his voice seems to grow slightly ethereal, and his eyes shine.

"Guardian of the Bifrost, give me your sight..." It sounds like whatever tongue is most native to others, but there's something about the way it resonates that makes it as if he's speaking another language.

	"A nest I think. There are signs," she mutters and takes out a pair of goggles and sliding them in place so they rest on top of her head. "I can't let them remain here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 08:19 pm UTC (link)
	Vincent's vision sways to and fro, and he can pick up a recent trail of blood and cold footsteps heading into a nearby building's service entrance. "There... that's where they'll be." He looks at his companion. "You're equipped to fight them?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	artofcreation 2011-11-29 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	"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)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 08:40 pm UTC (link)
	"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)

	artofcreation 2011-11-29 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	"I..." But she goes silent, just so the spell is actually effective. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 08:54 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	artofcreation 2011-11-29 09:03 pm UTC (link)
	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)

	quitethecharmer 2011-11-29 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	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)
