<<Joining with Orpheus and Eurydice>>

[Mokona-Senpai]

(I'm joing with Senzi, Ukyo, Sarabitch, Houmei...ect...y'know...when we feels like bringing in random vampies we will...)

[Kai]

(And I'll play with my usuals as well! The Damon Clan and what not)

[Risu Kitsunegari]

Orpheus woke Up quietly, as he normally did. Senzi, though now a vampire was still a light sleeper. Orpheus sat up an looked at the ceiling pensively. He was in a melancholic mood and so his hair was a medium grey. He looked around his Victorian styled room. The tall book cases and wardrobe in the far corner, then a few modern things. On his side table his Cell-phone and reading glasses. On his black desk he had several books stacked and his lap top was charging in the outlet. Orpheus sighed and looked back at Senzi, and somehow this made him feel at ease.

[Mokona-Senpai]

Senzi sat straight up. "Is it time to get up yet?" She asked, looking around sleepily, she stared at Orpheus and smiled. "Morning...er Evening...er...Hi." She said. Even though she had been a vampire for a few months, she was still unsure of what time it was whenever she woke up.

[Risu Kitsunegari]

"Good morning dear, It's about one A.M." Orpheus said stroking Senzi's hair. "Go back to sleep, Love." Orpheus said and he lightly kissed Senzi's forehead, he looked at the ceiling pensively, his next birthday was soon. He had a summer birthday, June thirtieth. June Thirtieth, and he would start Really training to take over as leader of the council. The training would take two to four years, depending on how much time he spent training. June twelfth, a week ago, he married Senzi- who was by some social miracle a pure-blood. one week ago, it was the twelfth, it was now the twenty second. That left exactly eight days until the thirtieth.
"Ten days huh?" he muttered to himself.

[Mokona-Senpai]

Senzi yawned. "Nooooooeezzz, now that I'm awake it's going to be hard to fall back asleep." She said. "Cause I'm a light sleeper, and I'm still sort of p-paranoid." She said, leaning her head on his shoulder. "Besides I heard Sarabitch talking about some sort of important people coming over today...er tomorrow...er night after the day time..." She yawned again. Senzi couldn't hide the fact that she was tired, but she could try. "And how do I know you won't leave while I'm asleep and go goof off with Deepi or Bells?" She asked.

[Risu Kitsunegari]

"I'll be right here, don't' worry" Orpheus said, "I was just..." His voice trailed off and Orpheus sighed "...Thinking, I guess." The melancholic look on his face apparent, His sister Susan would have picked up on this immediately. Orpheus hoped Senzi wasn't as good at reading body language.

[Mokona-Senpai]

Senzi stared at Orpheus' face for a moment before grabbing his cheeks and pulling them up, to form a smile. "Much more handsome." She said, smiling herself. "Keep your face like that more, m'kay?"

[Risu Kitsunegari]

Orpheus took Senzi's hands of of his face and held onto them. just for a bit feeling her pulse. This was somewhat comforting, and he just looked at Senzi's blue eyes this was also somewhat comforting.
'There's tough times ahead, Orpheus' a voice in the back of his mind said.
"Tough times ahead." he repeated in a voice barely audible, maybe, but was it possible to relax until then?

[Mokona-Senpai]

Senzi tilted her head. "What's wrong Orpheus?" She asked, lightly pushing her forehead against his. "Are you getting sick, do you have a fever or a headache?" She asked, clearly worried. As a healer Senzi could make headaches and small fevers go away easily, so she usually took advantage of the ability, especially when it came to Orpheus.

[Risu Kitsunegari]

"No, nothing like that," Orpheus said "It's not something to worry about right now." Orpheus said Looking out the window, it was still dark. It wouldn't be for very long though.
'better close that' he thought getting up and walking over to the window he closed the shutters and curtains.

[Mokona-Senpai]

Senzi layed back down letting out a sigh. "I guess I can try and fall back asleep, it's going to be reeeaaaalllllyyyy hard though." She pouted. She always had issues falling back asleep. "Why'd you have to wake me up at one a.m?" She was now whining.

[Kai]

A tall man walked the city streets in complete silence. His long black hair was pulled back, laced with a black ribbon. He was dressed casually... or at least casual for him. To any passer by, he was still dressed very nicely. (Not that anyone was passing by at that hour) He wasn't really doing anything in particular... it just felt good to get out of the house from time to time, and he did have to eat eventually. Even though he loved his children, hated relying on them for meals when he couldn't leave. So now he was stalking the night for anyone who might stumble across him at the wrong time.

Not far off stood his son Damien, who had trained himself to sleep accordingly to his father's schedule, still allowing himself some day time hours. He had grown well, and had become quite a good tracker, so he always stayed close to his father as a kind of sort of body guard.
Next to Damien was another boy, perhaps a bit older, but about the same age. He was slouched forward, his hands in his pockets, and a cigarette in his mouth. He kept his bright green, good eye on Damien, waiting for some kind of cue, noticing the boy's aura flair up now and then.
"Damn it, Duo!" Damien finally snapped. "Would you put that damn thing out, it hurts my nose!"
Duo's face fell, and for a minute he looked like a sad puppy, but he took the cigarette out of his mouth and dropped it on the ground, putting it out with his foot.

[Mokona-Senpai]

Melanie walked around the city, trying to find her way to the council building, she'd been seperated from her attendant and was now lost in the city. She looked now around the age of thirteen, but in reality she was about eighteen. Her once black hair was now long and blonde and her eyes were still a bright black with small hints of blue. She wore a knee-length blue dress, and black platform maryjanes. She carried a small yellow handbag in her right hand and she swung it lightly as she walked. She suddenly heard Damien snap at Duo a few yards away and quickly hid behind a nearby tree. She knew that She and Damien shared the same father, but she didn't know if Damon knew she was one of his daughters, and she didn't want to find out if he did, so she hid behind the tree even as she saw them walking toward where she was hiding, also knowing that it would be bad if Damon, Damien and Duo saw her walking unattended this late in the evening.

[Kai]

Duo looked up from his cigarette, a sudden pulse rippling through the air. He turned his head to a near-by tree. He glanced at Damien, to see if he had notice, and almost slunk back when he caught Damien's eyes.
Damien had his lips curled back, showing his teeth, his eyes hard. He was facing the tree too, stepping forward. Not only could he read Duo's thoughts, but he could smell Melanie, and he could read every one of her fears about being caught. A low snarl escaped his throat, causing Duo to slink further back.

[Mokona-Senpai]

Melanie froze, listening, resisting the urge to see what was happening on the other side of the tree. If she actually had a beating heart it'd be thumping loudly from fear. Just walk by, please walk by she thought over and over.

[Kai]

Listening to the girl's fear only upset Damien more. Another sibling... another useless, traitorous sibling. His pace towards the tree quickened, his red eyes glowing violently. He was upon the tree when-
"Damien... Duo..." came a voice from not too far off.
Damien's head snapped over his shoulder. He gave the tree one last look and hissed darkly, before taking off in the direction the voice had come from.
Duo was at Damien's ankles as they ran. It was only about a block before they found Damon, waiting for them, his eyes cold, though his smile was warm. "I think you two have done enough for tonight. You can go home." he said.
Damien's eyes widened. "But father, there was-"
Damon's smile vanished, and he bared his fangs for a moment, before smiling again. "Go on."
His son lowered his head, looking up at his father for a minute before trudging off in the direction of Damon's manor.
Duo smiled gratefully at Damon, bowed, then took after Damien

[Mokona-Senpai]

Melanie looked out from behind the tree, seeing Damien and Duo gone, she let out a sigh of relief. "That was close." She said, walking out from behind the tree and looking around to make sure they weren't up in the trees hiding or in the bushes. "They're really all gone, but thank god they are, I wonder what made them leave..." She said to herself.

[Kai]

"That..." came a soft voice, "would be me." Damon turned around the corner, his green eyes much warmer than they had been when he had been addressing his son. He was smiling too. "I figured that if Damien got to you, he might bully you." He took another step, bringing him closer to the young girl in front of him.

[Mokona-Senpai]

Melanie took a step away from Damon. "You're D-Damon..." She said, pointing at him. "U-Uhm Thank you for make him leave, I'm just l-looking for the council building, I got seperated from my guide..." She explained. "I really should continue looking for the building." She was suprised to finally meet her father, he was kinder looking then the council made him out to be, but she was still unsure if she should be alone with him. "Do you possibly...um...know where it is?

[Kai]

He tilted his head. "I can't take you there, but if you head towards the edge of the west side of town you should find it. It's hidden, mind you, so you'll have to pay attention." He was still smiling, his voice sweet and warm. He knew that there would be no instantly turning this child... she was a council member, and a high ranking one if he remembered correctly. But what better way to get on her good side than being polite. It upset him something awful, knowing that he had to try to impress people... it was degrading, but still. She was his daughter. He had known it from the moment he sensed her.

[Mokona-Senpai]

Melanie smiled back. "That's pretty far away, do you mind walking with me part of the way atleast?" She asked, her eyes gravitating to her shoes. She did want to get to know her father a little more. "I don't really have to be there t-til tomorrow night though, and s-since you're nicer then...well people say you are...I wouldn't m-mind getting to know you a little er...better, if you don't m-mind that is..." Her face began to slowly turn red.

[Kai]

His smile brightened. "I think that sounds lovely. I can walk with you as long as you like... or until we get to be a mile from the building." he said. "I've always wanted a chance to get to know you too."

Damien kicked a rock, sending it shooting like a bullet across the grounds of the park. He was angry... again. As usual, his father had blown him off to spend time with another of his children. He gritted his teeth, breathing hard through his nose.
Duo slunk after him, afraid to get too close. "Hey..." he finally got the nerve to say, speeding up so that he was walking along side Damien. "It's cool... your dad just probably wanted to deal with it himself." He watched Damien's face, hoping for signs of improvement, but he only seemed to have upset him more.

[Mokona-Senpai]

Melanie looked up at Damon, her smile as bright as his. "That's great." She said, nodding. "Do you mind if I call you Papa?" She asked, walking in the direction Damon said the council building was.

"Is Daddy's boy mad?" Jamie asked, appearing behind Damien and Duo. "Or would the correct word be jealous?" Jamie was a bit taller then before, her hair was no longer long, it was short and fell a few inches above her shoulders, her eyes seemed to look more and more like Damon's with everyday though. One thing that hadn't changed about Jamie was her love for torturing her brother. "Good evening Duo." She said smiling eviley.

[Kai]

Damon laughed. "I wouldn't mind it at all." he said, following after her, glancing quickly in the direction that Damien and Duo had gone, before returning all of his attention to Melanie.

Duo smiled weakly at Jamie. "Evening... he said quietly. He wasn't a big fan of Jamie. She always seemed to picking on someone, and in a very indirect way, it always felt like she was teasing him too.
Damien scoffed. "I'm not mad... or jealous. I'm frustrated..." he hissed, feeling his father and half sister, Melanie, walking off in the opposite direction.

[Mokona-Senpai]

Melanie thought for a moment while they walked. "Papa, is what the council says about you true, they make you sound mean and scary." She said, a little worried that the topic might cross a line.

"So Father's walking with the pampered princess of the American council, big deal." Jamie said, grinning. "Why must you pout so much over something so stupid?" She asked. "If you want to watch him so intently then do so, go follow him, what's stopping you?" Jamie put a hand on Damien's shoulder. "Or are you afraid of Princess Melanie?" She smiled bright smile that looked just like Damon's.

[Kai]

"Well..." Damon said, looking to her. "What do they say about me? I've heard a lot of rumors, but I'd like to hear it myself."

Damien scoffed. "I'm not afraid. I'm not going back there because father told us to leave, and I'm not jealous that he's walking with her." he sniped. "I'm worried about him wandering around with one of the council's dogs so close to their lair."
Duo smiled. "You don't have to worry about that, Damien!" he said brightly. "You're dad's tough! He can handle anything they throw at him."
"I'm well aware he can take care of himself, but I don't want him to HAVE TO." he grumbled.

[Mokona-Senpai]

Melanie's eyes met with Damon's. "They say you're a selfish and cruel person,who destroys others and wants to destroy the council." She said, giving the short version.

"Then go after him to protect him, Daddy's boy." Jamie said, grinning. "Isn't it secretly what you want to do, why not disobey him if you're worried?" She was getting a kick out of this.

[Risu Kitsunegari]

"I'm going out." Oprheus said and he began to change into out-of-house clothes. "I need a walk to clear my head and if it's one AM then I don't' really have to be sleeping do I?" He said putting his cross around his neck and slipping his phone into his pocket. Orpheus opened a drawer in the black desk and pulled out a pair of ear buds and an iPod. Orpheus slipped them into his pocket and left the room to go outside.
Orpheus was thinking a lot as he walked to the door, he didn't even slide down the banister-rail as the normally would. he actually walked down the entrance hall steps. Once outside Orpheus took in the smell of summer. The air was so warm he barely needed a shirt, but for the sake of decency he had put one on.
OOC: Would Orpheus have met Damon by this point?
