"Of course he wants to." Kesika muttered, having expected little else from the great, cursed, ex coven leader. Her eyes turned to Adrian's for a moment as she contemplated what to say next. He was probably fishing for support, she couldn't imagine Claud had anyone at his side so soon after the grand finale of the whole Delano affair.
"No." She finally added with a shake of he head. "If you're looking to convert me you're wasting your time. This city has taken everything from me now, everything but my life at least. I'm done with it. I tried, I failed and I have nothing more to give." Her eyes dropped from Adrian's and back to her glass, her eyes closing as she sighed softly. As it stood she was going to find somewhere else to go and not look back, anywhere had to be better than this city.

Natalie carefully dropped each shot of Jagermeister into its glass then moved down the line slinging each into down her throat a single swallow. Last came the tequila to burn away the sickly sweet aniseed flavour and then a sip of the beer to finish it off. Now that she had a reasonable amount of alcohol coursing around her body she started paying attention to the bar around her.
She heard the door open behind her and glanced over her shoulder to see who was walking in. She was reasonably surprised to see what looked remarkably like a small child walk through the door and toward the bar followed by a woman in a cloak.
When the pair arrived at the bar next to her she grinned to herself at their appearance. Feeling mildly buzzed from the alcohol she decided she'd give them a little advice. Leaning over toward the woman she spoke in a mock conspiratorial whisper.
"Y'know, a cloak is possibly one of the worst ways to be inconspicuous. People tend to stare at someone wearing a cloak, it just attracts attention. S'like trying to follow someone discreetly wearing shades and a brown trenchcoat. Just so you know."
That was possibly not the most tactful start to a conversation, but alcohol made everything seem like a good idea.

The figure alongside her smirked slightly, turning to her. "Who said I was trying to be inconspicuous, or secretive?" Came the reply. The tone seemed a little mischievous almost. "I've just got a bit of a thing for cloaks, is all." She purred, looking up slightly so her white and black two-toned eyes rested on Natalie. "And alchohol is the worst way to keep up you're health you know." She added, smirking slyly.

" Sorry, I shouldn't of hinted." Adrian responded as his eyes casted down. He smiled softly at this.
" In the least.... it's good to talk to a fellow witch again. I've missed the company of magic users..... I miss my desk..... I miss working the streets." he started to pine but stopped himself.
" Hey do you know what happened to the girl who ran the morgue? I was a bit curious... where she went to." He told her.

"Cloaks Forever!" Yelled VG, raising his glass. He turned back to his own conversation right after, like nothing had happened. "Well, young blooddrinker. It seems we will have to travel a bit further then the confines of this bar to teach you." VG stood up and said, "Wait here please." He walked over to the bartender, "Do you think I could have some of that blood?" If he was going to stay here for a while, he would need to be prepared. He realized something then, and searched around his pockets. He found what he was looking for and pulled it out. In his hand were four pure gold coins about the size of half-dollars.

"The figure smiled at Natalie again. "Tell me, you've been in this city a while. I heard of this place, an... 'organization', you might say. I believe it was called the Coven or something." She said quietly. "I wasn't sure where I might talk to someone from there." The boy next to her looked around the room, fidgeting restlessely before slamming his hand down on the table and standing up abruptly. "Which one of you wants a fight? C'mon, bring it on! I'll take on any of you!" He yelled so any and everyone in the bar could hear. The cloaked figure grimaced slightly, turning her head away from Natalie. "Bad Dog." She uttered. Around the boy's neck was a black collar with a large, square chain link. It rattled for a moment before the boy gave a shriek of surprise and slammed head-long into the floor with a loud THUD. He moaned as the older figure looked at him. "This isn't the time or place to be looking for a sparring partner. I told you to behave yourself." His head shot up and he glared at her in disdain. "You're so mean! Using that on me. How could you, you bi-" "Bad dog." "Gah!" He slammed into the ground again, his head making a dent in the floor. (Ow XD)

"I miss..." Kesika started again before she paused, a pained look crossing her face for a moment before she drowned it with more of the strong alcohol.
"A lot of things. I just... don't think I could keep a level head. I know I wasn't perfect to begin with but, well... I'd rather not ruin the witches image any more." She shakes her head a little, honestly believing after all that had happened she wouldn't be the most impartial person to uphold right and wrong among the night creatures.
"Last I saw her she was hanging with that demon, no idea where she could be now."

Ooc: Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! Perfect opportunity for Teazle to appear.
Natalie grimaced at the cloaked woman's mention of the coven.
"Well up until recently you could find them at the big clock tower in the old part of town. But a few weeks ago something happened and all the witches went bat shit crazy and started trying to kill each other."
She took another sip of her beer and nearly spat it across the bar when the child erupted next to her and then promptly collapsed on the floor.
"What the bloody hell did you do? And why is he so insane? And more generally, what the deuce?"
-------------------------------------------- Ooc: Speak of the devil and BAMF! . . . he appears.
The door to the bar swung open to reveal a slouched figure, wrapped in a army surplus coat and looking downright miserable. They stepped into the bar and trudged over to the bar stools, levering themselves onto one to sit and stare dejectedly at the bar top. A hand came out of one of the pockets and threw a few notes onto the sticky surface. It then flicked a mess of white hair out of the man's eyes and returned to it's pocket.
"Drink please, something strong."

Comrade nodded as he went to the fridge and poured the guy some fresh blood, though when he turned around he did not expect the sight of gold coins to greet him.
" This includes tip?" he asked praying he didn't have to give change... since really... that was a nice chunk of change for him.
-----
" Oh. I hope she's okay." Adrian frowned as he shook his head just a tad.
" I don't think it could get anymore tainted then what Delano did to it. " He sighed once more. Finishing his drink and getting a refill before starting the next.
" They should really put into place a mental exam before letting a new leader take over. Really, who couldn't see that the guy was stark raving madd." He cursed a bit under his breath.
" Oh well, he's dead now. I guess thats the only good thing to come of this.... no matter how mean it is. " He shook his head a bit.
" Oh! If you ever need anything magical. I'm running a shop know, midnight callings. My... friend had it... I.... I don't know what happened.... to him.....so... I'm running it till he comes back." He told her darkly. Unsure if he was dead.... alive.... or what not.
" It's the only thing I'm good for now a days." He moaned as he drowned his thoughts in another sip of his drink.

"I guess in the end the bastard got what he had coming. Though the cost..." Kesika trailed off, far too many people had died over the mess though there was only one in particular playing over her mind right now.
"Maybe..." She muttered at the comment of needing anything magical, flexing her fingers and dancing a small field of force around them. She kept this up for a few moments before she clipped her fingers with the field, sending a jolt up her arm. She flinched her fingers back and sighed. dispersing the little field.
"Seems I can't even use it right, not that it's ever been of any use." She smiled a little, rubbing her hand to ease the slight lingering stinging sensation.
"I hope your friend is okay though. I guess I could stop by some time if you'd like some company or something." She shrugged a bit. Not sure if she was making the offer because she cared or because she was getting quite plastered on this alcohol right now. That was probably a good thing though, she'd missed the new man moving to the bar and more importantly his voice.

"Don't mind him, he just gets a little stir crazy sometimes. We've been through a bit lately." She put in. "So, then the coven isn't in the clock tower anymore then? Do you know where they are?" She inquired curiously, the boy still growling detestably. ------------ Aexri got the cup as soon as it appeared, slurping away at it happily, seeming to forget the current conversation about 'monsters'.
(Urgh... short D; )

" I do to.... if you want help with your magic I can aid you." Adrian smiled.
" I fuck up quite a bit but I'm starting to learn alot more about controlling things. Especially recently." he admitted as he laughed just ever so slightly and sipped his drink once more. His eyes looking around among the faces in curiosity.
" Did you hear about the were leaders? Three of them have dissapeared. It's making quite a upsetment in the community. What do you think thats about?" he asked changing the topic a bit to some other weird goings in this strange city of theirs.

"Ummm... sure, tip too." VG smiled at Comrade's exitedness, he was a little embarrassed. VG didn't really know the exchange rate for dollars and gold. "Oh," he said, "I kind of meant like... to go." VG wasn't sure what this town was like, but he definitely did not want to see a lot of murder. Therefore, he would take some blood for Aexri to have later.

Teazle glanced along the bar to where Comrade was ogling what looked remarkably like some weirdo in a mask's gold coins and completely ignoring him. That was not right, Teazle did not like being ignored, it made him feel sad and feeling sad made him feel angry... most things did. He glared at the were-rat and shouted out the first insult that came to mind.
"Oi Buckteeth! Am I getting served some time this century or shall I get my own drink, you lazy prat."
-------------------------------------
Nat shook her head and shrugged as she replied to cloak lady's question.
"To tell the truth I have no idea, quite a lot of them are dead I think and all the others seem to have gone into hiding. I pretty much just kept my head down the entire time so I'm not really the best source of info."
She took another swig of beer and brushed some hair out of her face before continuing.
"And before the conversation goes any further, I don't know your name and you don't know mine. To change that I'll tell you that my name is Natalie and ask you what yours is?"

Comrade's head snapped to attention at the insult. He chattered his teeth at this. Snorting in the guys direction.
" You'll get served in your own turn." He snapped as he excused himself for a moment and made his way back to the demon.
" What is your drink?" He asked, trying to be respectful though well..... he was tempted to say a nasty word or two himself.

The cloaked person seemed to hesitate a moment before smiling gingerly at Natalie. "It's Ahva." She answered simply, though she seemed to be making it a point to keep her name between just the two. The boy grumbled, fidgeting still though restraining himself from anymore outbursts, lest Ahva give another disiplinary command. "So, the clock tower used to be the Coven headquarters? Well, thanks for the information, however small it may be." She thanked briefly, before slipping out of the bar stool. "We'll probably see each other again. Goodbye." She thanked sincerely before making for the door. "Time to go, Flint." She said. The black haired boy seemed to brighten and hopped after her merrily. "Coming!" He barked.

"No that's okay... I don't know how to explain it but I... I guess I just don't believe I can protect anyone with it anymore." Kesika half sighed in reply to Adrian's offer, it was nice, but she was concerned that even some things that'd seemed simple now seemed so hard for her ton conjure. All of this only after Calvin...
"I wasn't sure how much of that was rumour and how much of it was fact after the last North leader turned up dead. I know they are supposed to be blaming us for it though, given how Delano was going I couldn't blame them." She decided to save herself from that train of though by quickly moving to the new topic. Honestly she'd been far too worried about everything else to think on it too much, but it was jsut another thing to make rebuilding the coven more difficult.
"Oh I don't bloody believe it." She cursed as she heard tha all too familiar voice being yelled just down the bar.
"Did every crapping person I know suddenly become alcoholic or what?" She complained loudly, not really thinking much thanks to effects of the alcohol kicking in. First Adrian and now that bloody demon that had bounced around killing witches happily, wasn't that just great.

" Looks like it. I'm rather surprised Claudius hasn't traveled here himself. He's usually drinking up whisky and rum left and right to drown out his sorrows." Adrian frowned for a moment then laughed lightly in that charming boy next door manner as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head.
" Seems like we've all become very emo as of late huh?" He grinned to her a bit softly.

VGT tilted his head, "Whatever, I'll get some later." VG walked back to where Aexri was sitting. "Come young blooddrinker, we have to go find someone," he said as he headed for the door. VG headed out the door and toward nowhere in particular.
(VG out to... uh, how about the city park?)

Teazle sat up slightly once he'd got Comrade's attention and tapped his lip thoughtfully before giving his order.
"I will have ... a pint of ... whiskey, if that's not too challenging."
He heard the exclamation just down the bar from him, and turned his head to look in it's direction, completely blanking Comrade in the process. He recognised Kesika from the coven, before the whole big bloody fight thing.
"Oh hello witchy lady. How've you been since your boss man fell on his own sword, as it were? I hear your chum with the icicles made a full recovery. I hope I didn't leave too much of a scar."
Teazle was just in a provocative mood, too much sitting around seemed to do that. Bring out the demonic tendency to insult, tempt and generally be nasty to everyone around you.
----------------------
Natalie pouted in annoyance at the weird cloaked woman and her odd child leaving, didn't really leave anyone to talk to. On to the Moonstone then she guessed. She gulped down the rest of her beer, put the bottle back down on the bartop and strode reasonably steadily out of the bar and toward what would hopefully be a fun night.

Comrade complained a bit under his breath as he sent the demon his will. The liquid slideing to a stop before the male for him to take up the cup and slowly become intoxicated sip by sip by the bitter nectar.

Kesika glared over at Teazle as he finished, the hand that wasn't holding onto a ddrink quickly balling into a tight fist. Oh he had to didn't he, he just had to go there of all the places he could have gone. She debated ignoring him, she debated just actually letting the comment slide, but what the hell she was far from concerned with any reprecuyssions right now.
Watching the gdemon's drink slide in front of him she decided to 'help him with his drink. Though enveloping the cup in a green field then flicking it up to send the the drink over the demon's face probably wasn't the most helpful guesture as far as most were concerned. Spite was a great motivator for magic use it seemed.
"Just about everything you just said was a load of crap." She growled, jsut taking a sip of her own drink before waiting for his retaliation.

Adrian's eyes went wide at this.
" Oh shit." He remarked as he jumped back a bit as to not be in the direct line of fire between the two.
" Can't we just get along here.....okay?" He asked like the innocent brother trying to keep peace amongst rivaling siblings.
