Welcome to Gaia! ::

One of the men glanced at Calli and briefly left the other pair. As he approached, she took the opportunity to look him over. His face was typically European, and his walk was confident. She watched his eyes and wondered if he was offended at her nosiness.

"My wandering feet have lead me back home again as normal. Really it is good to be back. I think I might stay an extended period of time for once." The gentleman said as he smiled at her. Not little indeed...and yet she was younger then him still. He however didn't point this out for it would come to no end. There were vampires that where young then him and yet had just as much potencal as he did.

"Times change many things and yet some things stay the same. Like your lovely face. It hasn't changed since last we met. However mankind seems to have changed in many ways. Some still fear us, some want to be us, and some really don't care at all. All we can do is watch to see what will happen next." Clifford finished and then looked to the direction that Georg had gone. In the dim light he saw the outline of a woman. Perhaps she was listening in...perhaps she was with the enemy...who could tell. He turned his attention back to his lovely companion. "So tell me...what do you know of what has been going on lately? I just got back into town this evening."

As Georg finally reached the woman looking at him, he crossed his arms and looked at her. "Pardon me, madame, I do not indend to be rude, but I must wonder why you were looking at us just recently. I hope you do not mind to answer my question." he said. His manners were as usual polite, and even if his body language didn't treathen in any way, his eyes told that it was better if his question was answered with the truth.

"In that case, allow me to introduce myself. I go by the name Georg von Ostwaldt." Georg said and bowed deeply. "May I ask what the cause of your curiosity was?" Georg din't belive she was a suspicious character any more, but he kept on asking her questions to confirm this. Also, he didn't want to interrupt his friends talking too soon. However, nothing in his expression told what he thought.

Clifford reached out and places a hand on Ariai's hand in a comforting jesture. "I am sure thiings will settle down before that happens. I have faith in our kind. As humankind changes to adapt so do we."

Slamming down a book, she got up and grabbed her car keys and jacket. "I need to get outta this dump," she muttered. She needed to become part of the investigation on the 'zombies' strolling around the city. The police could not explain it but she knew she could. And she knew exactly where to start.

"All I need to do now is find one of them," she sighed as she walked out of her building. She knew of them and they knew how to contact her... but she ahd no way of locating any of them. 'Of course I don't... I'm generally asleep when they come out,' she thought as she walked away from her building. The "them" she was thinking of were straight out of horror movies: Vampires. Somehow she had become on the select few who knew about their existance in the world. Because of this, she was wondering why she had not been contacted already about the recent happenings in the city.

"I seriously need a new job," she muttered as she passed a talking pair on the street, unknowling passing by a haven for those she sought. She reached a bus stop and pulled out her wallet. She did not drive; she felt it was a waste of money that could be spent on more important things. She stuck her keys in her motuh as she dug through the wallet for her spare change. She had almost got enough when another person passing by knocked into her and sent her wallet and bus money flying to the ground, a few cards and some money scattered every where. "Bloody Hell..." she growled as she stooped to pick up her change.

((If you guys get tired of typing his ful name call hiim Cliff....just not Cliffy or he will hurt you XD))

Cliff shook his head. "Never seen her before. I can tell she isn't as old as either of us though." It was true that Clifford had an uncanny way of telling if a vampire was as old as he was. Not that it effected his behavior towards them much. With moving a wisp of his raven hair from his face he smiled slightly at Ariai. "Could you tell me where the royal family happens to be? I would love to see them. Maybe you could show me."

At the near by bus stop a young lady had dropped her wallet. Clifford had always been known as a gentleman and so excused himself politely from Ariai's presece before going over and helping the young woman collect her things. "Here you are." He said handing her some of what she had dropped.

"Yeah, thanks," the woman muttered as she grabbed her stuff from him. She was in a foul mood from her lack of work. With an exasperated sigh, she fished out a business card that read:



Along with those words was her office number, her fax number, and her cell phone number. She knew she looked desperate but she handed it to the man. "I doubt you'll ever use this, but if you ever have any problems, give me a call. I'll even throw in a huge discount since you helped me out here," she told him. It was a small attempt at bringing in some business. After all, if she did not get anymore cases she would probably be evicted from her apartment. Her landlord wasn't very happy with her since he rent was always late.
