The group has made their way to the sacted pueblo.
Morgaine: Well, I'm starving. Where's the food.
Grey Wolf looks concerned at Emily, knowing the last thing she needs right now is to be aroun human blood.
Emily: It's fine. I'll take a walk
Vix: I'll come to
Morgaine: What, not hungry?
Emily (sharply): no.

*Gray walks back to the girls*
Gray Wolf: well ladies we have 30 days to kill the man who bit you both and get his ashes back her to ressurect miss emilys beloved
Morgaine: shesh why she would want to hell he was just about to screw me when I killed him and he did a few other girls back stage when you were just 12 feet awat
Emily*angrily*: he wouldn't do that, he couldn't
Emily*softer*: I'm sure he wouldn't...
Gray Wolf: come with me both of you
Morgaine: where?
Gray Wolf: to the pueblo of spirits
Emily: wow it exists? I mean I heard legends...
Gray Wolf: I shall take you and those Morgaine brought with her in to my home you shall be rested and well fed after I have conducted my buisness here we shall be off to find Mordred
Morgaine: fed? uh...how?
Gray Wolf: I am friends with the true vampires remember? they have many human friends who give blood on a reguler basis so that the vampires don't have to hunt and kill humans they keep "blood banks" in many spiritual sites around the world so really I have to ask what do your prefer? a nice O+ or perhaps some rarer A/B- the last vampire who passed through said the A+ we have on hand is superb...
*they (Vix, Kwai, Emily, Morgaine and Gray) leave the bar and vanish in to the night towards the sacred pueblo*

OC: FYI kate: there are six elements, not eight.

Oh right.... *Walks of muttering 1,2,3,4,5,6*

quote:

death is death and people can't be brought back from it

That makes sence (Sp). I can change it if you want, but being you, you have a whole alternate plot figured out

IC: Liz concentrates on her shirt, trying to make it change colors. Soon her shirt has gone from blue to red.
Alex: Good. Now, geting it to change is the easy part. No see if you can stay concentrated enough to keep it that way.

--After a few minutes--
Simon: "I see. Thank you Gray Wolf, I appreciate this info."
Gray Wolf: "No trouble at all."
Simon: *addressing the girls* "You girls owe Gray Wolf some gratitude. Thanks to his knowledge, not only am I going to spare you, but I am also going to be able to cure you & solve yet another murder case. Now if you'll all excuse me, I have a vamp to go kill."
Simon puts on his shades & leaves Sad Haven.
------------------------------------------------
OC: FYI kate: there are six elements, not eight.

IC:

Alex: "Lets try something simple. Change your own appearance."

OC: drat kate I wanted you to say that you and morgaine would be human again, death is death and people can't be brought back from it...though let's just say that if the over vampire (vampire who creates other vampires) is killed in say 30 days of the death of the individual some of the ash from the overvampire's body will ressurect said individual

Gray Wolf: I'll deal with him
*stands up and walks to simon*
Gray Wolf: Hello simon
Simon: Gray Wolf, I hear you've been harbouring fugitives
Gray Wolf: now simon does the guild need another lesson about what happens to those caught interfering with the affairs of the Gods and Spirits?
Simon: *looks down* no the last time we tried to fight you people, you alone took down half the guild
Gray Wolf: Simon I've always liked you and I've always found the guide to be a noble cause, misguided perhaps but noble still, So I'm going to offer you a little gift
Simon: a gift?
Gray Wolf: the Vampire Mordred's head on a plate and the secret to curing the vampirism mutation when it is forced on humans
Simon: you have my attention

OC: remember when a human is turned in to a vampire it's a mutation or a pact with satan. These are the twisted individuals like Dracula, Malus and company are the species vampire and are all rather good natured fellows (hell in this story many of them are good roman catholics)

Alex, Wink, and Liz have made their way down to the beach.
Alex: So, todays lesson. You've learned the basics of controling the elements. Now you need to learn how to put them into action.
Wink: Don't you think you're getting a bit ahead of her capibilities?
Alex: She can handle it.
Wink: Fine
Alex: Everything around you is made up of the 8 elements. By using your powers you can twist what is there untill....
Liz looks down and suddenly the sand under her feet has turned to grass.
Liz is shocked
Alex: Thats nothing. I met a man once who could turn the ocean a ship was sailing on to solid rock. Can definatly come in handy once you learn what your doing.

Simon: One...
Morgaine: What the...? We're not hiding anywhere. *group was seated at a corner table speaking quietly enough for only them to hear*

Just then Simon walks into Sad Haven, takes off his shades, & pulls out a badge.
Simon: "The name is Snake Eyes. I'm with the Hunter's Guild. Gray Wolf, Morgaine, & Emily Smith, show yourselves & you won't be killed on sight. You have until the count of three."

Emily: So, if he dies, Roger will be alive again
Grey Wolf: Yes
Emily: I have to find him.

Emily: I'm 850 thank you very much
Gray Wolf: any way moving on
Gray Wolf: when you are bitten by a vampire your body is frozen in time at the state that it's in making you immortal it also mutates you driving you to drink blood
Vix: what about malus and them?
Gray Wolf: there is a differance between the species vampire and the vampires created through evil, you ladies are examples of the latter half.
Gray Wolf: now then if the Vampire who bit you who is named Mordred is killed the mutations in your bodies shall reverse and time will pick up for you where you left off at 19 and 22 respectively

Morgaine: Are you sure it was just one for the both of us? I am over 1500 years old, you know. And she--she doesn't look a day over sixteen.

Gray Wolf: now I need you both to play like reasonable adults or I'm perfectly willing to stake you both and turn you in for the reward despite the history I have with both of you, you are endangering a rather important plan of the Gray Council and I cannot let that plan fail
Emily/Morgaine: bu....
Gray Wolf: now shut up and listen for a bit, as you know if you kill vampire all the evil it has woven is undone including vampires it has created
Emily: right that's common knowledge
Gray Wolf: my people have located the vampire that but both of you

Morgain walks into Sad Haven and comes straight up to Grey Wolf, without looking to see who he's with.

Morgain: We need to talk
Grey Wolf: I know. So does she
Morgain: Her, how?
Morgain takes a second look at Emily. She now can smell that she is a vampire.
Morgain: Oh
Emily: Her! How could you!
Morgain: What, him? It was only a mortal
Emily: I loved him!
Morgain: Really, from the way he acted while he was alive, I'd say he didn't return the feeling.
Emily stands, knocking over her chair and tries to hit Morgain. Grey Wolf stands and stops her.
Grey Wolf: Don't make a scene. Thats the last thing either of you needs right now. Lets go in the back and talk.

Simon caught up with the remaining band members at the club where they had all played the night that Roger was killed. He didn't end up getting much out of the other guitarist or the bassist. After they left, the drummer on the other hand, did have some info.
????: "Those two idiots say much?"
Simon: "Other than the fact that your lead singer is a vampire? Not much."
????: "Well they wouldn't, would they? Thats because they are new. I on the other hand have known Emily & Roger since high school."
Simon: "...& you are?"
????: "Greg Mason. Drummer extraordinaire."
Simon: "I see. Well Greg, what can you tell me?"
Greg: "I can tell you that at one time those two were absolutely in love. They went everywhere together. A real hard rock couple. Then Emily became a fang. After that, Roger wouldn't touch her with a ten foot poll attached to a ten foot poll. There's been bad blood between them ever since. They tried to hide it, but I knew. *sighs* ...& now Roger has been killed in an act of sexual vampirism. My first thought? It had to be Emily. But after seeing the body? It couldn't have been her."
Simon: "What makes you say that?"
Greg: "Just the placing of the wound. Whoever or whatever did him in was very very old. Probably from Dracula time in old Europe. At least thats what I figured from my current knowledge of the occult."
Simon: "I see. This is interesting information. Do you have any idea where she would be right now?"
Greg: "Right now? Shes probably at Sad Haven hoping to catch a ride out of town. We've played there before. That place is a stew pot for inhuman rejects."
Simon: "Sad Haven, huh? Then I just missed her. Well, thanks for your time, if I need anything else I'll contact you."
Simon left & headed back to Sad haven.

Note: Additional background on Emily (things I was to lazy to think of last night)

Emily became a vampire when a vampire bit her, but didn't drink enough of her blood to kill her. Right after she became a vampire, she was so hungry that she ended up killing dozens of people, in an almost animal state. Eventually, she gained back controll of herself. She no longer drinks human blood. Instead she has been hunting animals for food.

Emily walks into Sad Haven. Grey Wolf sees her from across the room.
Grey Wolf: Damn
Kwai: What is it?
Grey Wolf: An old friend
Grey Wolf waves Emily over to the booth. Emily sits and introductions are made.
Grey Wolf: I take it you showing up here means the band put 2 and 2 together?
Emily: I didn't kill him, you know I don't do that anymore
Grey Wolf: I know. But did the band tell Simon?
Emily: Snake eyes! He's here!
Grey Wolf: Showed up last night
Emily: Thats not good, I was hoping to lay low here, but if he's in town....
Grey Wolf: You should definatly leave. I think I know someone you can travel with.

OC: I refuse to let Alex and Liz die.

IC: About 30 minnutes later Alex and Liz come downstairs. Wink is waiting for them, with Kamuy at her side.
Wink: Good to see you 2 could drag yourselves out of bed.
Liz yawns.
Liz: If I had my choice, believe me I wouldn't have
Alex: Come on, its been ages since your last lesson.

--Present Time--
Simon arrives at the hotel where the murder took place. A few detectives are there investigating already. One of them is interviewing a witness. As he walks up to the room, a patrolman stops him.
Patrolman: "I'm sorry sir, but you can't go past here. We're investigating a crime scene."
Simon: "Its ok. *takes off sunglasses* I'm Snake Eyes."
Patrolman: "Excuse me sir! Sorry sir!"
The patrolman runs over to one of the detectives.
Patrolman: "The hunter is here!"
Detective 1: "Well send him in!"
Simon walks into the room & greets the two detectives. He looks around the room for a few minutes.
Simon: "Typical class B sexual vampiristic homicide. Done by an older female. Got any witnesses?"
Detective 2: "Yes. A man that was in the hotel room across the hall. I just finished speaking with him."
Simon: "I'd like to talk to him."
Detective 1: "Please. Right this way."
Simon walked in the room of the witness. He puts his shades back on before interviewing him so as not to scare him.
Simon: "Hello. I'm Simon Beck."
????: "'Sup? I'm Kurt."
Simon: "Alright Kurt. You wanna tell me about what you saw two nights ago outside your room at 9:46 PM?"
Kurt: "Look dude, I'ma tell you what I already told them two detective guys, ok? What I saw was just plain bizare & creepy man! I was on my way back from getting ice down the hall when I saw this chick sneaking out of the room across from this one. Her face was fucking dripping with fucking blood! She left the door open as she was leaving, & I was wigging, ok, so I went to investigate. When I looked inside I saw that guy, just laying there, all bloody like a scene from a vampire movie. As soon as I got back to my room, I called the cops. Then a few rocker looking dudes came by & they acted like they knew the guy, so I told them what I saw. Since then I've talked to about six different cops besides you, & I keep telling the same fucking story. I don't know the guy, or what exactly happened, all I know is that he is now dead. Thats all I know."
Simon: "This girl you saw, did she look like this? *holds up a photo of Shadow*."
Kurt: "No. The other girl wasn't as gothed out. She had on a renaissance style dress."
Simon: "I see. Thank you. We're done talking to you for now. If we need anything else we'll contact you."
Simon walks back to the two detectives.
Simon: "Where can I find the remaining members of the band Helldust?"

Emily has left the hotel she was staying at in a bit of a hurry. With no where else to go, she heads to Sad Haven, to get some help from her old friend Gray Wolf.

Gray Wolf: shadow you and frank need to leave and soon
Shadow: why?
Gray Wolf: Simon Beck is in town and he's out for vampire hunting
Shadow:*looks at Gray Wolf's vest* is that a gun? Gray are you packing?
Gray Wolf: yes I'm carrying a desert eagle pistol just in case
Shadow: but aren't you..?
Gray Wolf: not in here for the love of the Gods, I need to go talk to some people get out of here with shawn as soon as you can

*Gray leaves and walks over to the booth Vix and Kwai are in*

OC: ...& here is the stats for my new character.

Name: Simon "Snake Eyes" Beck
Sex: Male
Age: 34
Eyes: Reptilian, green
Hair: Cornrows, black
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 176
Skin: Very dark, smooth
Body: Muscular & athletic

Favorite saying: "I see you...monster."
Lives: Los Angeles, California
History: At the age of three he & his mom were attacked by a weresnake. His mom was killed, & his eyes were damaged by venom that the weresnake spit in them. He was found by a police officer & rushed to the hospital where he was told that he would be legally blind for the rest of his life. After that he was placed into foster care. A year later, he could see again. His eyes had mutated & become reptilian in appearance, allowing him to see far greater than a normal person. Because of his newfound "deformity", he suffered from attacks by bullies. At the age of fourteen, he was arrested for robbing a convenience store where he met up with the policeman who saved him as a child. The policeman told him about what happened that day. He spent the next two years studying & researching about werebeasts, vampires, demons, ghouls, & other occult creatures. At sixteen he became an emancipated adult, & began searching for the monster that killed his mother. After a years worth of searching he found the weresnake. It was his first kill. His first hunt. After a brutal battle with the beast, he defeated it, & right before he delivered the finishing blow he said, "Thanks for the eyes". From there, he joined the Hunter's Guild, a group of mortals dedicated to exterminating "the scum of the darkness". After all these years he is now a skilled & ruthless hunter, & a high ranking officer in the Hunter's Guild. He carries a long bow, two crossbows, a shotgun, kunai, & shuriken.
