Comrade unlocked the door to the bar. Having everything polished and ready for his first customers of the night. He went back to the bar, watching, waiting as he tended to fidget and mess around with things. Kicking on the grills, makeing sure he had plenty of ice stored away for the throws that would enter here. Be it demon or human he was ready for them, though well. Most sane humans never tread here anyway.

VG walked in with an unconscious boy, his blue and smiling mask slightly gleaming in the dim light of the pub. He faced Comrade, "Good Afternoon."

Natalie strolled down the the busy pavement towards Comrade's bar, dodging the bustling humans as they ploughed along the pavement, minds on their destination and not what was in front of them. She reached the door to the bar and leaned her weight against it, causing it to swing open and let her half fall, half step into the dimly lit room beyond.
She glanced around and stopped short as she took in the scene before her. She backed toward the door slightly, her mind jumping to all sorts of unhealthy conclusions.
"Oh...Sorry if I'm interrupting something, I'll just be leaving again shall I?"

"Please don't," said VG in a low voice, "I was just coming in to have a drink with my friend." He nodded to the boy on his shoulder. Then VG bowed his head to both the bartender and patron, before going to a table and putting Aexri in one and sitting in another. He was careful to position him to where he would not fall and was leaning on the table.

Comrade raised a brow to the first customers of the night. Surely a strange lot he thought to himself. The were rat snorted. Running his hand through silver locks as gray blue eyes drifted cross one form to the next.
" Whats your poision?" He called over to the beings, waiting to see what their order was. He didn't care what they did, as long as he got money out of them.

"What will I have?" said in an extremely serious, almost scary tone. After pausing for dramatic affect, his tone lightened substantially as he said, "Chocolate Milk please." Then his mood went a little darker, almost worried. "As for the child," he said, "he is a blood-drinker. Do you have anything that could suit his needs?"

Natalie visibly relaxed when she realised she hadn't walked into a crime scene. Still avoiding the weird guy with his unconscious friend she walked over to the bar and sat carefully on one of the rickety looking barstools. She stuck a hand into the pocket of her jacket and pulled out a battered leather wallet, removing a few notes and a small vial filled with a cloudy fluid before replacing it.
"Could I have a bottle of whatever beer is cold and a glass please?"

It wasn't even all that late in the evening yet but the day had dragged on just the same as all the others had. Stopping at the first open pub on her travels seemed like the most reasonable course of action, even if the place didn't tend to cater to her type without an ulterior motive. If she still considered herself would easily be grounds for a reprimand and even less prospects of promotion, hell she'd have been reprimanded a while ago if anyone still cared. Since no one else cared she was going to be far from the first one to right now.
Kesika entered the dim room, not even bothering to cast a glance over the other occupants as she moved to the bar itself, taking a stool away from the other patron who was there. She padded down the pockets of her dark jeans before she managed to find the one containing a few notes. The rest of her attire was equally plain, a simple, slightly baggy, black shirt and a pair of black boots. Her hair, though still as obnoxiously bright yellow and lime green as ever was starting to show signs of her natural brown colour at it's roots.
After withdrawing and inspecting the notes she had in her pocket she placed them down on the bar in front of her. Forty dollars should cover her for the night and she knew it wouldn't take long for the money to attract the attention of the owner if what she had heard about this place was true.

" Of course I do." The were rat spoke as he turned and opened a fridge, pulling out some human blood and poured it into a glass. He then... begrudgingly made a simple glass of chocolate milk for the creature with the mask. Really... you would come to a bar for that? Well to each his own he figured as well. As long as the man paid he really didn't care. That was when the money appeared from another customer. Giveing her his coldest glass of beer and a glass he slid it her way before his palm was already out greeting the green. That was when another hand of currency appeared. Oh how he was loveing this night already. Snatching the notes he played the bar top. Leaning over and putting his hand on the money.
" For me?" he asked the woman that was till he sensed the magic in her. His hair was a bit on end as he looked up slowly to her eyes. " Whats your buisness?" he whispered, unsure if this was a crooked witch or a goody two shoes looking ot shut him down.
"Of course, my friend." He smiled with the warmth of a snake.

Quietly groaning as he woke from his un-planned nap, Aexri stirred, not quite sure where he was. Okay, so he remembered that strange masked man persistantly chasing him through town... And ending up being carried to the door of some odd place before his memory got a little hazy. He could feel his head throb where the masked man had hit him with his staff, and somewhat pieced together what happened.
He lifted his head and looked around the room slowely in a daze, not seeming to notice VG yet. He blinked stupidly, still gazing around the room as his nose registered the drunk-scent, his nose twitching once or twice in disgust. What other scents were those? ...People... And... Blood? Maybe that was what woke him. The scent made his mouth water, but he barely moved, still trying to make sense of things.

Kes just smiled at the rat's reaction, though right now she doubted her smile would manage to be at all reassuring as she tapped her fingers on the ends of the notes before her.
"My only business is to drown out this dump of a city with as much alcohol as this will buy me. You just happened to be open while I was passing," she explained in a low voice. She leaned an elbow onto the bar, resting her cheek against her hand. "Of course if what I am is a problem I can always take my money elsewhere." She gave that comment a few moments to sink in as she watched the were in return before releasing the notes.
"Just put it on a tab or something and keep them coming," she sighed finally.

"Waking up little one?" VG said quietly. "Do not worry, I have bought you some blood." VG sat and sipped his chocolate milk with a straw that he brought out of his pocket through a hole in his mask. He waited for the young one to fully awaken. He quickly had a thought and slipped some of the essence of chamomile he usually used in his own tea into Aexri's drink. That should calm his nerves. He quietly prodded the little boy with words, "Wake up little one, you look like you could use some blood.

Aexri seemed to snap to when he heard VG's voice, obviously recognizing it and still not harboring the nicest feelings towards him. He whipped his head around towards the older male and eyed him suspiciously, seeming ready to start yelling at him again in hate but his hunger won over hate and he wasted no time in taking the cup of blood for himself, sipping away at it pleasantly, obviously enjoying it dispite the fact he hid it quite well.

VG held out his cup as an offering, wondering id blood was all the kid drank. "So, friend, what is your name?"
((Sorry, short!))

He took a few more mouthfuls before pulling his lips off the cup, licking some off his lips with the tip of his tongue. It was apparent he still didn't like or trust him, but he seemed calmer and more open to discussion than before. "Aexri." He chirped before going back to his drink enthusiastically, not seeming to take the slightest interest in what VG's name was.

" No,no,no, your race is not a problem if your not going to cause trouble." Comrade smiled serenely to the woman. " No.... witch.... is a problem, as long as they don't go scaring away my paying customers." He added as he nodded and quickly snatched at the money before the woman could take it back. Oh the lovely green he thought as he slipped it into his drawer and started to mix the drinks for her with skill.
" May I ask what troubles you are drowning? It's not often witches will grace us with their prescience. Usually, ones like me are not even good enough to lick their boots none the less serve them drinks." He smiled to her acting concerned about her sorrows. Just another method though to get information, and perhaps somehow a bit of a tip in the end of things.

VG looked at his now empty cup, slightly saddened. Then looked back at the boy. "Well," he said, "Do you have a guardian young blood-drinker, or a creator?" He quietly waved to Comrade, holding up his empty glass, almost begging for more of the substance he considered heavenly.

"Gaurdian?" Aexri parroted, looking back up from his nearly empty cup. He smiled meekly and help up his wrist so the black bracelet he had was visible. On it was a beatiful red stone that glistened unnaturally, giving away that it was a stone with magical qualities. "'She' always protects me. Ever since right before the Fakes took me, after 'he' and 'she' left. But 'She' still protects me. Whenever any bad ones try something, 'She' always protects me from them. Just like the bad ones earlier. Now they won't wake up. It was all 'Her'." He smiled innocently, not seeming to think people dying was very serious. "Some bad ones tried to take 'Her' too, but she never leaves. They can't take 'Her', she'll only if I take her."

Natalie nodded her thanks at the barman. There was something about him that was making her feel hungry, not quite sure what it was but she shoved it to the back of her mind and unscrewed the top of the little vial. She carefully tipped the contents of the tiny bottle into the bottom of the glass and filled the rest with beer, mixing it with her finger and then sucking all of the liquid off her finger. She picked up the glass and took a sip, grimacing at the taste.
"Gah, you'd think that by now evolution would have made it taste good or something?"
She'd wanted the beer to mask the taste of her own venom, which was not entirely pleasant. Strangely Natalie was not naturally completely immune to her own venom and had to regularly ingest small amounts of it to keep up her immunity.
The mixing done Natalie dumped the now empty vial into her pocket and took another sip of her tainted beer. Her ears pricked at the tone of the conversation between the bar man and his newest customer, seemed like he wasn't fond of her at all.

"You can ask all you want but I wouldn't expect an answer any time soon if you don't want me to be scaring off your customers." Kesika half glares at Comrade.
"And you can cut that racist crap right now, your harping at the wrong witch about that sort of thing. I couldn't care less what you are so long as I end up with my drinks one way or another this night." To think she'd have so much trouble just finding somewhere to drink herself stupid without all of these questions.
"Let just say I've had a rough week and the sooner I work on temporally forgetting about it the better we'll both be." After all the sooner she was drunk the sooner she might well spend some more money, which she was quite sure would come to pass.
Of course she wasn't going to promise not to start trouble, she really wouldn't mind something happening either way at this point.

" I can provide all the drinks, as long as you supply the cash." The rat laughed a bit as he winked to the female before tending to others all the same.
" So what are your top choices? That I should keep comeing hmm?" He asked her with that devious grin that meant well. He was expecting a good payout from the woman after the night was done.

"Shots of anything that's a spirit with some kick. Nothing with blood in, otherwise I frankly don't care as long as I'm throughly smashed by the time That money runs down." Kes' told the were with a little less attitude than she'd been using, more concerned with getting her first drink than dealing with the were any longer.
"If I choose to stay drunk here I'm sure you'll get some more money by the end of the night as well." She throws in, just trying to prompt the barkeep into being extra attentive. She hadn't thought he'd be quite so bad but at least the info on the place seemed accurate enough.

Comrade nodded excitedly at this.
" Sure thing." He smirked as he mixed a powerful tonic often drank by the were's of the city. It had enough kick to get them drunk pretty quick and if a human was drinking it. Well it was a doozy that was for sure. He filled the glass with a touch of cherry flavor and a cherry inside of the pink mixture. Knowing the flavors the ladies often liked. He slid the drink her direction. Smiling with a bit of charisma.
" There you go. Might not want to drink that to fast now. It's down right strong for human blood." He smirked to her.
