A miserable vampire

[Rosier Moore]

His stay in Avaleur so far was, simply put, boring. People did not wander the night as much as he had hoped- Rosier was stuck feeding on travelers from roads further away. It was such a hassle, Rosier couldn't help but think he might as well move to the next town. But a few things kept him there. One of those things- determination. He had not met a town that had not kicked him out. So why would he back down now?

Another thing that kept him there was Coriander. What if the elder vampire decided to hunt him down and kill him if he ran off? The thought made Rosier shiver. He did not want that.
He walked along the streets in the daylight, stressing over another subject. He had no money, no job, his house was shit, and he had no way of paying for anything. So if he wanted to do something fun, he couldn't.

Rosier sighed, sitting at the edge of the fountain with his head resting on his hands, staring at the ground. He could work at a bar? He looked the part. But he hated alcohol. He could fight at the arena? No, no he couldn't. He was a silent killer, not a fighter. He would get his ass kicked in seconds.

As he thought, a little girl stopped in front of him. Her mother had gone to one of the nearby stores, and the girl was allowed to wander near the fountain. She couldn't be older than eight years old, with a little dress and curls in her hair.
She noticed Rosier, and his pitch-black eyes, and couldn't help but stare at him.

Rosier finally noticed her and looked up, and the staring contest began. For a few seconds they just stared, before Rosier, in the grumpy mood that he was, decided to get her out of his sight.
"You know, if I were you, I'd get out of here. I have a particular taste for little girl's blood," he smiled, then licked his lips. The little girl's eyes went wide, and soon she was running towards the store with her mother in it, with one large yell of 'Mommy!'

He stared for a moment, then looked around. Many eyes were on him. But he chose to ignore them, and looked down once more, thinking about possible jobs to do and possible closer victims to take.

[Denzel Kumori]

Avoiding people as well as she could, denzel headed over to the fountain.A scared little girl running past her. She could see someone with red hair and black eyes smiling, licking his lips. 'another vampire...' she thought, finally sitting down with her arms crossed. "Its not nice to scare kids like that. You might give us a bad reputation." Denzel frowned, keeping her voice low. "If you are in the mood for threatening people, try doing so in the back alleys. at night."

As people stared, denzel examined each persons face, and their scent. They seemed uneasy, but did well to keep walking and not stare.

[Rosier Moore]

Rosier tensed up- oh, how he was not in the mood to deal with this. Another vampire. The thought nearly sent shivers down his back, but he kept his composure as he turned and looked at the woman, a grin leaping to his face. She was definitely not as frightening as Coriander. Not to mention he had to get used to other vampires presence anyways- being recruited into Coriander's vampire group would surely be unpleasant for him for a long time.

He looked the woman over slowly with his black eyes, finally landing on her eyes. He shrugged, his large grin showing off white teeth.

"I don't like to be stared at," Rosier stated simply, as if it was nothing. "It wasn't as if I was actually going to hurt her. Please. I have rules for myself." He felt that those rules would probably be destroyed by Coriander rather soon. Rosier shook the thought from his head.

[Denzel Kumori]

She shrugged, smiling. "A good scare sets kids right usually. keeps them out of trouble I guess." looking at the sky, she thought to herself for a moment. "Im Denzel. Denzel kumori. Nice to meet you... and believe me, I don't like being stared at either. But we are fascinating creatures, and humans just love getting too close to fire."

[Rosier Moore]

He thought about this for a moment, before laughing.

"I suppose they don't set boundaries for themselves like that, hmm?" Rosier stated, shrugging once more. "I suppose I am not one to judge. Every creature has the potential to like getting close to fire."
Like I am right now, he thought, wondering why he had not excused himself at that point- even if it would be better for him this way.

"Rosier Moore, at your service," the vampire gave her a grin, sitting up straight and stretching his arms.
"What brings you to town square, Ms Kumori?"

[Denzel Kumori]

" Well... im just- you know. Shopping?" she smirked slightly, looking away and off to the side. " What are you in town for, mr moore?" Denzel focused her attention back on the other vampire, twiddling her thumbs. Its rare for her to get to others of her kind. It was slightly intimidating, and fun at the same time. But to be honest, she was tracking people for hunting later on. Gotta eat when your hungry.

[Rosier Moore]

Shopping, eh? the vampires lips curved up slightly. His nerves were still on the edge, but for a vampire she didn't seem too bad. Were all vampires like this? Rosier wouldn't know. After all, he rarely interacted with them.

He hoped that most were like this one.

"I suppose I'm not entirely sure yet, to be honest," he spoke with a shrug, placing his elbows on his knees. "Looking for a new start, maybe. I travel mostly, though, so I don't know how long I'll be staying."

[Denzel Kumori]

Denzel frowned, resting her head in one hand, her elbow resting on her other arm which was crossed. "I actually have tried to leave this place quite a few tomes.... but something keeps bringing me back. Avaleur is a great place for a new start, but once you get in, there is almost no way out. Its interesting. Its like this place has something that just draws people in. Be careful though, this place isn't all sunshine and daisies." As she stared into the distance, she recalled all the past events of avaleur. Its been rough, but hopefully things would start to look better.

[Rosier Moore]

Rosier thought about this for a moment. He rarely learned about a town before moving to it- Avaleur was no exception. What did she mean by all of this?

"I would hardly think that I should be worried. After all, we are the superior species, are we not?" he forced a smile. He knew full well they weren't- savages, more like it. But, perhaps he was wrong, and more of their kind were like her.

He hoped it to be true.

"What exactly has happened in this city, anyhow?" the vampire smirked, leaning forward in interest. He caught a bigger whiff of the scent of vampire, and had to force himself not to move away from her.
He had to get used to it eventually.

[Denzel Kumori]

"Many things... We had a huge tournament, and I actually died. We had a war or two... um... yeah. a few things happened" she nervously Twiddled her fingers, wanting to avoid talking about the time she massacred almost all of avaleur.

Unlike some people, rosier was really nice!

"People have died, to be blunt. Lots." Denzel bit her lip, getting a bit more nervous. Only vampire other then her parents that she has ever had to deal with, would be coriander. A name both rosier and denzel have in common.

[Rosier Moore]

She was doing it again- twiddling her fingers. Was she not liking how the conversation was going? Rosier ignored the thought.

"Seems like this place has been through quite a bit," his lips curved up into a smile, revealing his teeth. It seemed to show slightly in his black eyes.

"Though I'm quite curious- so you've died?" Rosier chuckled slightly in amusement, never coming across a story like hers before.

Slowly he was already becoming accustomed to her presence, the vampire in her not seeming as threatening.

[Denzel Kumori]

Denzel stopped twiddling her fingers, noticing a slight change in rosier. Was something bothering him perhaps? "Yeah, this place has been through quite a bit. but despite that, its not a bad place. Ive died once or twice. Died defending an old friend who had memory loss. It was for the tournament. It was a three way match. I could have let the other contestant kill him, but I had hate for the other contestant. A werewolf named steele. complete and utter ass who was dating someone I used to also be close friends with. I died, saving one person, putting another in the hospital on his death bed..." she paused, thinking it through. " When I died, I got sent to hell for something that happened not long before the tournament. A demon ended up bailing me out of jail, and while I was down there, we managed to get one of my old friends out. it was my fault he died though. either way, that's the past now. Not something I talk about often. The devil likes to mess with my head still sometimes. If I die again, I know Lucifer wont let me go a 3rd time. the second time I met him, I actually sought him out to question him about something. But I don't quite remember why. I try not to remember the past." Sighing, denzel looked over to rosier carefully.

"Id rather push forward, and not look back to the past. Im still paying for my mistakes, even now."

As people passed by, they avoided the two vampire. Rosier looked like someone dangerous, and everyone knew who denzel was by now. Denzel is a bit more dangerous then some may think, but she keeps it under lock and key.

[Rosier Moore]

Rosier took note of everything the girl said with much interest- it seemed to him that this girl was having quite the interesting life. Dieing, participating in tournaments, making enemies, resurrections, being rescued by demons. And to top it all off, the devil had it in for her.

Slowly, Rosier was becoming more and more interested, a sleek smile growing on his face.

"I can't say I've had even half as interesting of a life as you have, Ms Kumori," the vampire grinned, his eyes running over her once more before landing on her eyes.
"Though I can't say that a beauty like you should be paying for any mistakes made in the past," his grin grew. "After all, you seem to be pretty set on leaving that all behind you."

[Denzel Kumori]

Denzel blushed, struggling to not stammer or slur her words. " I-its nothing really... My life is a lot more boring now." She examined his face carefully, smiling. damn was he a cute vampire.

"Yeah, of course I wanna leave it all behind me. Not as easy as it sounds..." her smile dimmed a bit as she spaced out a little. "Im sure you must have some interesting stories though~!"

[Rosier Moore]

Although his eyes could not see well, as per usual, he did see the blush on her face. Which made him grin wider.

"Now now, I'm sure with enough effort your past will be behind you in no time," the vampire attempted to console the girl, before moving on to her other statement.

"As for interesting stories...not quite. Some, I suppose. But I don't have too many. None that I can remember, anyways."
The man laughed, shrugging.
"Perhaps sometime that you are free we can sit down and share these interesting stories of ours."

[Denzel Kumori]

She grinned, Nodding. " Sounds Like a plan. I actually usually have nothing better to do. Life has been rather dull lately. I look forward to our next meeting. Lets hope its on good terms. Avaleur has a way of messing with people." she wanted to bring up the massacre so bad, just to get it off her shoulders. But he is a new guy, and she didn't want to scare him. In time, he would no doubt hear about the past, and why it was difficult to put behind.

" I really enjoyed this conversation, rosier."

[Rosier Moore]

Rosier thought for a moment on how to respond. Then, surprisingly, he answered with a smile, "I did as well, Denzel. I look forward to seeing you again as well."

He was surprised with himself. He actually liked this girl. He was never one to like anyone- least of all a vampire.
Perhaps she would be the first person he would talk to about how he turned. The first he would willingly show the scars on his wrist.

Rosier was looking forward to it, if that day came.

"Have fun shopping, then," he grinned, holding in a laugh. After all, vampires shopped for people more than items. Certainly that was what she was doing, he felt.

[Denzel Kumori]

And he was right. this whole time she was picking those out who had good blood, and qualified for a hunting game. " I always have fun shopping." Her grin widened slightly, slowly turning into a smirk. She knew why he was holding back laughter. She could hear it in his voice. Human hunting. Was it that obvious? Denzel crossed her arms, entertained. " okay, the shopping is only half the fun to be honest. still enough to enjoy it slightly. Its not always fun though."

[Rosier Moore]

"Oh?" Rosier raised an eyebrow, amused.
"I'd have thought most vampires thought shopping was fun. Myself, I prefer a spur of the moment. Why is it that it is not always fun?"

He would creep down an alley, find someone that he did not know, and kill them. Simple as that. Nothing more, nothing less. As much as he likes looking around, he didn't do much but browse through the people.

Hardly any would ever catch his attention enough to attack.

[Denzel Kumori]

"The hunt is sometimes pretty fun surprisingly. Humans can be fun to mess with, especially when they are drunk, and paranoid." denzel shrugged. "I don't hunt as often as I should." of course, she had her fears.

"Spur of the moment can be entertaining since you don't know how it will play out. I plan mine out as I go. but I also track them for awhile."
