seattle at night
So there were vampires in Seattle. Alright, that just meant she needed to have a wooden stake with her at all times, among other things. Now was one of those good times, being nighttime and walking alone. Marie felt more confident in her ability to protect herself, now that she was aware of the dangers of the night. Well, at least one of the dangers of the night.

And maybe they were aware of her and her knowledge, too, because not a single predator of the night had tried to attack her. It's possible they learned their lesson when Bram took care of them the other night.

	Greg needed some fresh air and decided to take a walk. His bar was crowded with people and he needed a breather. He was glad the bar was doing well, but some nights he needed a break. Hands in his coat he walked down the sidewalk. (Reply to this)(Thread)

Sometimes, the Loa gave Marie subtle hints. They weren't exactly clear about what they were telling her, though. It was always more that they gave her a sense of direction. As she turned the corner, she saw a man in a coat walking her way. He certainly seemed normal, but a feeling from the Loa indicated more.

It was similar to when she was found by Bram.

"Excuse me," she said, trying to get his attention. The Loa wouldn't give her any real help on this one. She had to figure him out for herself.

	Greg was lost in thoughts when she said something. The coming full moon weighed on his mind and he had been aimlessly walking. "Yes?" he said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He seemed distracted, but at least she got his attention. Now, she figured, she might as well be up front with him and ask him something. She got the same feeling from him as she did with Bram, so maybe they'd know each other? "Do you, by chance, know a man named Bram Harker?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Greg blinked, a little surprised by the question. "Yeah, I do. Why do you ask?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"He saved my life from vampires the other night," she replied. She didn't like to be so forward, but sometimes that was the best way to handle a situation. "I don't believe it was by chance. The Loa guided me to Seattle and, I believe, to both of you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-12-14 10:13 pm UTC (link)
	Greg eyed her. The Loa were Vodu gods and their followers practiced sympathetic magic. "Greg Price," he said with a nod. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Marie Chabert," she replied. "My father is Jericho Drumm." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I've heard of him. I believe my uncle worked with him a few times." Greg smiled. "My uncle is Jack Russell." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2013-12-14 11:00 pm UTC (link)
	"Jack Russel," she repeated, trying desperately not to make the connection to a Jack Russel Terrier. "He was the... Werewolf By Night? My father had mentioned him when we talked." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-12-14 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Greg nodded. "The one and only. My sister is Nina Price, Vampire By Night." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2013-12-14 11:14 pm UTC (link)
	"And are you anything By Night?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-12-14 11:33 pm UTC (link)
	Greg chuckled. "No. I just run a bar and take care of the occasional problem." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2013-12-14 11:41 pm UTC (link)
	She didn't feel it was her place to comment on the occasional problem or investigate further into it, so she didn't. "A bar? Is that how you know Bram?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-12-14 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	Greg shook his head. "No. We occasionally work together to take care of those occasional problems. When vampires and whatever rear their ugly heads." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2013-12-15 12:11 am UTC (link)
	"Ah, so you also hunt vampires. And there are other creatures that roam the streets of Seattle, then? I assumed there would be, but I wasn't sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-12-15 12:14 am UTC (link)
	Greg nodded. "We just dealt with some tryks. Nasty buggers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2013-12-15 12:20 am UTC (link)
	"I didn't know the men paying for hookers were so offensive here," she replied. She had no idea what a tryk was. The broader spectrum of the supernatural scene was new to her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're a subspecies of vampire," Greg said. "They don't die easily." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2013-12-15 12:24 am UTC (link)
	"Oh," she said. "So a wooden stake wouldn't be the best option against them, I take it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-12-15 12:27 am UTC (link)
	Greg shook his head. "Fire or decapitation. So I take it you're new to Seattle?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2013-12-15 12:30 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. "Until recently, I lived in New Orleans. I traveled with my father, and now I'm here." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-12-15 12:42 am UTC (link)
	Greg smiled. "I love New Orleans. The food and the music alone. I'm a huge jazz fan and you don't get better jazz than New Orleans jazz. Find a place to stay yet?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2013-12-15 01:00 am UTC (link)
	"Jazz is wonderful, but it can't be surprising to hear somebody from New Orleans saying that. And, not a permanent place, yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-12-15 01:02 am UTC (link)
	"I have an empty apartment above my bar if you need a place. Good food and great music right downstairs." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2013-12-15 01:12 am UTC (link)
	She was a little taken by surprise, to say the least. "That's a generous offer. I'd be happy to accept, though I don't have much in the way of money. Do you need help around the bar?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-12-15 01:30 am UTC (link)
	"Don't worry about the rent," he said. "But if you feel like you must do something, I could use a part-time waitress." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2013-12-15 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"It's the least I can do for your kindness." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-12-15 02:10 am UTC (link)
	"Don't worry about it if you can't. You can still have the apartment and just pay when you can. I know what it's like to be in a strange city." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2013-12-15 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	"Thank you, Greg. It's been a long time since I've met a kind person besides my father." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2013-12-15 11:18 pm UTC (link)
	"Then you're not meeting the right people," he said. "Come on. I'll show you the place. It's a few blocks over." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aerosmithette 2014-01-03 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"Alright," she replied with a nod. "I have a feeling I'll soon start to meet the right people." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2014-01-03 01:42 am UTC (link)
	Greg smiled. "I think so. They're an interesting lot." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Interesting how?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She paused momentarily. Then continued walking. "At least I won't be the only woman," she said jokingly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No, you won't be. Rita and Jo are pretty cool. I think you'll get along well with them." (Reply to this)(Parent)
