"You look puzzled, Cat. What could possibly be on your mind?" He stared down at her gun, not really glancing up to notice she looked confused. Sleekily he raised his head with a seductive grin across his face.

Cat spit out, "What makes me 'puzzled' is that your holding my gun, I just took a bath in you tub, and I'm in the one place I said I would not go to. I am not very happy right now." Cat stood to try and calm herself, she pretended not to see him smiling, having no responce for it in her fury.

Lee sat forward, putting her gun on the table. "Cat, don't worry, no one is going to hurt you here. There is no aggression coming from me, and I would like the same from you. The only precautions i have taken is locking the doors. and that is more for your protection then mine." He sat back and intertwined his fingers. "Look around you," he shook his head, staring at the weaponry, "you think if i was worried about you, i wouldn't have left all of my weapons up. Relax." He stood to his feet and walked to a small bar near them. He mixed himself a drink, and her one too.
When he came back, the drinks were a neon blue. He set it down in front of her, and took a large swallow of his own. He looked at her, "I don't keep poison in my own room, this is a drink that comes from my planet, very hard to find here. Try some, i think you will enjoy." He gave her a second seductive smile, and took a long sip of the drink this time, returning more elegant then he had been when at her place.

"My saftey?? Do you not think I can take care of my own well being?" Cat fell, literaly, into a chair and put her head in her heands, focing herself to regain control of her temper. She swollowed and commented on how nice his wepons were. When Lee put a blue drink in front of her, she looked into his eyes. "I do not know where you are from. For all I know, everything on your planet could be poisoness...." Cat frowned and took a second look at the drink, thinking, *Well, I supose it wouldn't be so bad, if it was poisoned.* She sat back in her chair, thinking. When Cat had made a desision, she sat up again, all dignity, and took the drink in her hands and took on long pull. Surpirisingly, it did taste good, but she kept a straight face. When she looked back at Lee, and cocked an eyebrow, "Are you trying to make some point to me Lee?"

"i'm not making any point, i am proving something, to myself, and to you, though you may not realize it. Tell me, Cat, the first thing I want to know, is where the hell i am, and secondly..." he sighed, not wanting to reveal his vulnerablilty, "im sensing something, more like someone. its something people from my planet can do. We can sense humans, such as yourself, our enemies, and poeple like us. There is someone here, kind of like me, but not of my race. I have many books, all around, as you can see... what the hell is this vampire? i've read so many things, especially on Dracula... your books, your language, is confusing. At there is one of two choices I have with this land, either i find a way out, or i take control over it... my men and I can find a way to do so, and we will fight you, and your gang, if you choose not to help."
Finally he let out a sigh. "There isn't much I want from you, i was hoping the cooporation of your gang with my own. But, if you do not wish to cooporate, i have means of making you do so."

She looked up sharply, "You want to cooperate? Hmmm, when I'm done, you may tell me your proposal on the terms of this... agreement. But, I will tell you what I know." She sat back in her chair, and sighed.
"You are on the planet Zefta, the year is 7424. Earth, the homplanet of humans, exploded with our entire solar system about... a milenia and a half ago. A few decades ago, a scientist, I forget his name, discovered the technoledgy of time travel. It was tried, once. It was a catastrophie and that information was locked away, and is gaurded so tightly.... I don't know if your gang and mine's best players could breach the security on this stuff. Well, I'm guessing somone finaly get through and used it. It proly' got out of control and it pulled many different people out of many different planets out of many different times. You and your....," She looked around again, "ship. I've met, a few people that have been through your particular expirience."
She thought for a moment. "The humans were never told where the Vampire homeplanet is now. It's been kept a secret. But I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few here on Zefta. But the HPP, human protection program, keeps them from taking humans as victims. There are certain races they can legally take part of nowadays. But of course, they were never onces for the law."
Cat sat up and sighed, "Now that you know what you want, I want to know the conditions of our cooperation, if you please."

Jedi Master 1 Kadea smiled slightly and continued down the halls with out responding. "The bells at morning, noon, and night are the meal bells as well as wake up call, trust me if you don't get to the mess hall fast there is no food left. The red blareing lights and sirens alert to an invasion by enemy forces....We have a training ground here and workout room which you've already seen. Heres the mess hall." She pointed to two steel double doors to the left. The medical area is one door down from the main entrance." SHe said pointing to what apeared to be a plain wall. "All though they don't admit it and don't except the fact...Cat and Boss are pretty much the leaders around here. As for money...as far as i know it costs nothing to live hear but i haven't been here long so....you may want to find work. You'll have to ask Cat." She said turning and coming to a halt outside a side door. "And this is your room, enjoy" She said shortly pointing towards it and with a small bow walked away. "...Thanks." Harley walked up and opened the door. ((What does the room look like?))

((Weird. I asked because I wasn't sure if there's like, a specific room design for this particular building, and didn't want to describe out of the blue only for it to be shot down because it didn't fit with everything else, etc.))

The first person Kadea found was Boss. "hey Boss you have a sec." She questioned runnning to catch up with him. He looked over his sholder and stoped, looking impatient and angry. "What is it." There was a tone in his voice that said he was either greatly worried about something or royaly pissed at someone or both. "How do you get your business." She asked fowardly having no desire to raise his ire. He looked at her blankly for half a second and then understanding flooded his face "You gotta go out there and build a reputation for yourself...put the word out in the questionable hangouts or known crime spots. Word will eventually get back to the politicians and the business will come flooding to your doorstep. Take my advice though it's a risky business. Once you put your name out you also become a wanted person. Both by the law and by the friends of the people you dispose of. I was there at your testing, and i know you can handle it, and i'm guessing that you a fair tracker. So you'll do fine just remember that it's a dangerous business and a risk each and every time you step foot outside this door way....Now if you don't mind i have a question for you." He said pulling her into a quite alcove. She nodded folding her arms across her chest a strange glint in her eyes. "Can you help me?" He asked finnaly leting the unconcerned mask fall. "Help you with what?"she asked sounding mildly surprised that Boss would even be asking for help. "Listen....Cat was taken earlier by that strange shadow man." He trailed off noting the spark that had come into Kadeas eyes. "From my knowledge there ain't no better trackers then those from the past.....As your first job to prove that you can be a good hit man...find her and bring her back." He said watching her for any signs of anger or emotion but she kept a straight face. She nodded and rested a hand on his sholder. "She saved my life...i'll find her. I promise." She reasureed but when he opened his eyes to look at her she was already gone.

Harley looked around the room. It wasn't big, but it wasn't small, either, sort of in the middle. The entire room looked kind of, sort of, not really like something out of Star Wars. She sat down on the bed and looked around. Just some more random furniture here and there. She could recognize things like chairs and a sidetable, but they looked...alien-ish, giving the room a shaceship feel.
She dropped her backpack, jumped on the bed and lied down.
"Since I'm obviously from the 'past' or wherever, George Lucas is probably dead by now...good thing, too. I can just imagine the lawsuit."
Harley giggled at her own smart remark, but was disappointed that no one was there to hear. She frowned, then sighed. She lied back to go to sleep. Maybe, just maybe, this was some strange dream, and that when she woke up, she would be back home in New York.
Yeah...right. Only happened in Wizard of Oz. Stupid movie, luckily part of the past and probably never heard of by these people. Thank goodness.

The cold wind wiped the losse strands of her hair into her eyes as she stepped into the only slight warmth of the sun. She crouched and serched for signs of the strange mans passing. None could be found...at least none from the man. Her fingers brushed lightly over a sticky brownish substance that was resting on a overturned leave at the base of a wide tree trunk. She snifed the substance and ammediately retracted her hand. It reeked of hours old dung. She rubbed the substance between her fingers...To thick to be a birds..deffinatly not a mans or any other land based creature. Zefta was the home of many strange and new types of beings it could be from any of them she reasoned. But in my world such dung belonged to bats. I guess i don't have much more to go on but that. She thought and rose sighing heavily and turning her face to the wind. She wiped her hand on her coat and walked into the trees. This wont do me much good....i need to think of some other way to find her she thouht scaleing up one of the trees vast trunks and sitting on it's mamoth branches. Her fingers intertwined and came to rest under her chin her two pionter fingers steapled tapping her lips thoughtfully. I could try the blood connection.She thought. But what if the enemy has a connection to blood as well. He will feel the tug of it's use...Is it worth the risk. She wondered staring down at her left arm were the tattoe was concealed. If Cat is bloodkin then I should be able to get a feel of her genrel direction by just the slightest activation...It may leave her with a headache though. She'll kill me for that, she wondered. Then slowly dilerberatly rolled up her sleeve exposeing the tattoe to the cool air. At first the breeze passed over it uneffectively then a distant hum filled her ears coming from the direction of the other gangs lair. She glanced down at the tattoe to find it glowing dully. So it is true. We are bloodkin. she thought amazed.

Before Lee could answer, Cat felt a wave of nausia and pain wash over her. "Holy s**t..." She clutched her head and swayed in her seat. "What the hell....."

A small smile touched her lips as she thought of all the things Cat was going to do to her for the huge headache she had just given her. And lept from the tree, landing soundlessly in a crouch her throwing knife in ready position as she scaned her surroundings for anyone who might have seen her or her mark. Satisfied she ran off at the speed similar to that of what she had used during her test, fallowing the distant hum that rang in her ears, even though the tattoe was covered.  ((This is Kadeas tattoe by the way, excuse the messiness i did it on MSN paint...))

Harley woke up. Whether she had been out for a few minutes or a few hours, she didn't know, but one thing was for sure was she was in the same room as before. She racked her brain, trying to recall exactly when she'd fallen asleep. No luck. Harley looked around. Same surroundings.
She got up, trying to make heads and tails out of things.
