AU Event - Open To All

Who: Enis Edrin & YOU
When: 18th - 21st
What: AU event - Her mother will live through her father's experiment. This allows Enis for a more normal life since she would be shielded by her mother. She gets to go to school and keep her memories of it! It also means that her father's final experiment on Enis wouldn't have failed. He would have successfully implemented his life's work inside the chip in her head as well as properly introduce DNA into Enis's system so that it's accepted and alters her genetic make-up to make her a vampire though it's not an undead vampire, details here.
Where: Varies. She can be found all over so feel free to wildcard it too.
Warnings: Possible violence, hunting, swearing, being over all inappropriate, will update.

BEGINNING - AROUND

"This is... odd." She hummed softly as she began to investigate this strange bed that she'd woken in. It didn't take her long to pull up the data she needed. It was one of the advantages to having a computer chip safely implanted in her head. She was the perfect vessel for the information that she protects.

A brief smile tugged the corner her lips as she mentally sorted through the rows of information. "Interesting. This is going to be fun."

Enis's tongue flicked across her upper lip flashing a brief glimpse of pearly white razor-blade like fangs as she rose from her bed, grabbed her leather jacket and left her done to see what mischief she could get herself into.

HUNTING GROUNDS

There was nothing like a leisurely stroll in the middle of the night.

Enis was relaxed though her gaze was sharp, scanning the streets and walkways for shadows that appear out of place. She needed to feed though she might not find her donor tonight. She wasn't worried. There are other domes and other ways for her to find a food source. Though she didn't want to stretch herself too thin...

These domes were too small for that. It was better to find someone willing to lend her a hand.

Enis had made some interesting style choices when she had selected her attire for the nights prowl. Anyone who might have mistaken her for her previous self would find it nearly impossible to do so now. A small smile danced across her lips as she walked through the merchant dome towards the crowd. It's only when she spots someone interesting that her steps slow to a stop and her voice rises to greet them.

"You can come closer. I promise I don't bite."

Much.

BAR/MUSIC

Enis didn't need to sleep and she didn't know she had a job, so she found other ways to occupy her time. She dressed suggestively, in something fitting to a girl going bar hopping.

She could be found in one of many bars though she wasn't always drinking. Some nights she was playing pool or betting on games while flashing a flirty smile at her opponent. It could be very lucrative but sometimes had the tendency to make people a little upset too. Not that she was bothered by it but confrontations were known to happen and Enis didn't try to hide them. At the very least, she lead her wound-be attackers outside before the fighting began.

She managed to find a bar with a piano and decided to play a song or two. She didn't ask permission but slips stealthily behind the ivory keys and began to play. Her first song was well known to those who've experienced Earth any time after the late 80's. She took requests and was happy to play while someone sung along.

Enis was personable, open and always interested in a new conversation. She was 100% unlike the girl that had been living in the domes for the last six months.

WILD CARD

Baz is still digesting. Simon is apparently a vampire and he's never met his own mother. It's weird. It's incredibly weird knowing your boyfriend's last name and parent when he doesn't know it himself. It's more than enough to make a man have to go out and drink - or think. Maybe both, which is exactly what Baz chose to do. With a drink on the bench next to him he say frowning as he tried to figure out what to do next. At least Simon still rememberd he was his boyfriend, and no amount of his being a monster would push Baz away from him. They'd been together too long and Baz loved him too much for that (even if his mother would have probably set Simon on fire on the spot).

It takes until she speaks for Baz to notice the girl standing near him. Instead of moving, he offers her the drink. "You as mized up as the rest of us?"

Enis had a way of appearing like she was watching nothing while simultaneously inspecting the entire room. There was music faintly playing through the speakers around the bar though it was difficult to make out more than just the beat over the chatter of voices. The scents around her were both rich and stale, alcohol filling her nose and rolling around her tongue. She needed to dull the heightened sense, even briefly before finding the nights meal.

She had no intention of hurting anyone but she had to eat and most of those drinking would already feel dizzy. Her form of drinking was no different.

Her dark eyes glanced towards Baz and she smiled a flirty grin. "It's like you were reading my mind." She took the drink and let the flavor roll across her tongue and encase her senses. "Mixed up? You could say that. I don't know if the word does it justice. What about you? Something on your mind cutie?"

"You can save the flirting, I'm both very gay and taken." He's not here to look for a one night stand, just sort out everything that's going on in his mind. His or not, Baz will always be loyal to Simon. "You check the network? People are changing, and I think I've changed too."

Enis smiled and shook her head. "Don't worry. I'm not looking for a one nightstand. That said, I enjoy flirting. I hope you do mind if I flirt though if it bothers you I can go else where." This was just how she was. Enis needed blood if she could get it but she didn't much care for anything else at the moment.

"And I have seen the network. It's hard to miss when its implanted in our heads." It was uncomfortable really. "There isn't anything I can do about these changes, so I've decided not to worry about it. I have other things I need to worry about. As do you, I'm sure."

"Bit more tricky for me." He shrugs but doesn't say much about it. Baz isn't one to share with the rest of the class. He'd rather handle his own problems for as long as he has to. Doesn't mean he can't poke his nose into other's business.

"So what about you's changed?"

"You're certainly skilled at not talking about yourself." She laughed as if this didn't bother her at all. "You could say my diet has changed. I have memories that I didn't before but there are ways to pick up bits and pieces of my other life here." Enis rolled her shoulders in a shrug.

"That is why I am here tonight. I have to adjust to my changes and I need some... assistance to do that."

The corner of Baz's mouth quirks slightly. She's right, he does have a way of not talking about himself, but that doesn't mean she's going to be able to make him change that because of her.

"What sort of assistance are you looking for?" Not that he feels obligated to help her in any way, but curiosity is a thing that he happens to be have.

"It's sensitive." Though she looked very comfortable talking about it. "I will tell you but only if you offer one thing about yourself. That will make us even. And it can be anything you like."

That seemed fair.

Baz can't help the smirk that crosses his lips. Anything is a broad arc of things. Which is exactly where he takes it. "I hate peas." And that's it.

Antonio didn't always keep to himself, and since his sleep schedule was so different from the others in the dorm, he often spent late nights at one 24 hour establishment or another. Tonight he had a sketchbook open before him, and through the gloom of the low lighting, he's watching the murky waters beyond the glass of the dome. He could see in near-complete darkness, which meant he might catch a glimpse of something no other living being had ever seen, and if he did, he was going to sketch it.

He casually sipped a dry white wine while he waited and listened. There was an argument going on in the other corner of the bar, something about boundaries and not respecting someone was with the other, rather than the former, gentleman now. At the bar, a pretty blond was attempting to shrug off the advances of a lewd man who probably thought himself charming, and he might have been if this wasn't his seventh whiskey. He'd actually worked himself up to actually rising, to come to the poor woman's rescue when a scent reached him that gave him pause.

Antonio hadn't met many vampires, a handful at best, but her scent awoke in him instincts he opted to ignore most of the time. She wasn't male, he wasn't violent, but he hadn't scented another's territory here until this very moment. No, not territory, but...something. His eyes found her on instinct as she made her way to the pool tables and he folded his sketchbook closed, sliding it under his arm as he made his way to follow her, knowing she'd smell him too as soon as the ventilation shifted the air.

Enis found the noise and thick heady scent of the bar and it's patrons pleasant. It had a way of addling her senses, allowing her to focus on everything and nothing, cataloging and filing information that was useless and soon to be discarded. This person, that person. None of it mattered to her. They were sheep or toys to be played with.

She grinned when she caught the eye of another at the bar and then continued on her way. Enis was comforting in the surroundings and moved like she owned the damn place. That was until the currents within the room shifted and a familiar scent filled her nose. It wasn't anyone she had met before but he was like her. She tensed briefly and then relaxed as she moved over to the pool tables.

She joined in on a game with a pair of cute males but it wasn't long before she was waiting her turn. She stood back against the wall with a pool cue in her hand and her eyes on the pool table. Antonio wasn't in normal ear shot but she knew that he'd be able to hear her, he's been following her long enough. "Are you going to keep following me or come over and say hello."

"I hadn't decided." She as petite, smaller than him, and he moved closer, predatory, his instincts taking over quickly. An easy smile spread across his lips as he moved beside her.

"It's been some time since I've met another."

"Allow me to make the decision for you." She glanced over at him and smiled. Her expression and demeanor were relaxed though there was a set to her muscles that made it clear to Antonio that she was on guard. "I have met another once before. It hadn't gone well but I can see you're more thoughtful than he had been."

Her tongue danced across her lips as her mouth tugged into a smirk.

"I haven't been here for long. I am surprised. I take it that you are new as well?" This place had an ironic sense of humor.

"I am." He inclines his head in confirmation as well. He keeps his distance, though, noting her wariness. His instincts rage for him to come closer, but he's been ignoring them for centuries. He could ignore them a few more hours.

He thinks.

Enis hummed softly as she took another swig of her drink. "Excuse me a moment." It was her turn and she stepped forward to take her shot. The men she was playing with had the audacity to touch her hip as she took her second shot and it might be obvious to Antonio that Enis had to stop herself from breaking the man's wrist. Another shot and another, then she missed and she returned to where she'd been standing before.

"I think a truce, at a minimum ,is in order. I'm not particularly interested in fighting in this place. This territory can be yours." She only needed enough freedom to survive. Surly she could hunt without getting int Antonio's way. She had no interest in killing her prey, at least not in such a small space.

She glanced over at him but only briefly before looking back at the game.

"What is it that you want?"

"A truce?" He arched an eyebrow. Strange undersea world or no, for a vampire to so easily relinquish her territory was odd. There was something strange about her as well and has he got closer it only became more evident. There was something odd about her scent, something he couldn't place, but something he also had never scented before.

"To satisfy a curiosity."

It was unorthodox but she was an unorthodox person. She hadn't been born a vampire like most in her world but created to be one. A perfect vessel for the valuable information that she carried within her. She was lovely, deadly and very difficult to read.

"Yes. I think it's best considering the odd circumstances." She hoped that he would agree. It would make her life significantly easier if she didn't have to worry about another vampire trying to kill her. She's already handled that once before and it had been a tiring event.

"What curiosity is that?"

Rhys hasn't seen Enis at work for a couple of days, and since he's had his little ride-along AI bugging him this whole month, he's kind of glad. But it does make work harder. Especially with Jack nagging him about his "super-hot babe of a girlfriend". It was hard to ignore.

It was at Jack's insistence that Rhys found himself in this particular bar tonight. He's floating just to Rhys's left, familiar blue hologram lighting up the corner of his eye. It's good no one else can see him. And having Enis out of the office has made dealing with Jack fairly easy. However, he is feeling a little lonely.

It's Jack who spots her first, somehow. 'Kiddo, ain't that your girl, over at the piano? Why don't we go get her to tickle our ivory, eh~?'

The suggestion makes him blush, but...well...she's very tempting.

He walks over and flashes her a warm smile as he leans against the piano. "Hey, you're a sight for sore eyes~"

Enis knew that there was a version of her that had a job and a life in world but that wasn't her and she didn't care. She didn't need to work. In fact, she could do whatever she damn well pleased.

She smiled at the gathering around her, letting the thick rush of ambient noise fill her ears as pleasant aroma's of cologne, perfume and alcohol filled her nose. Her shirt caught the light and simmered, accenting her chest and drawing the eyes of those around her. Her dark hair was a little wavier than what Enys remembered but otherwise this was his usually socially awkward girl friend.

She glanced up when he walked over, her fingers bringing the song to an end before she stopped and turned towards him. "Oh? I'd hate to make your eyes sore." Her voice was light, airy and flirty. "Did you want to sing a song or two?"

Him? Sing? No way, he wasn't drunk enough. But Jack's egging him on.

'Go on, woo her with some sultry song or maybe a jazzy little ditty, eh? Make her swoon.'

He's pretty hard to ignore. Especially since he's floated up behind Enis and is groping her with a lecherous grin plastered on his face. Rhys can't help the frown that creases his face. He quickly remembers no one else can see or feel Jack, and schools his face back to a friendly smile.

"What song did you have in mind? I'm not any good at singing, but I'll join you~"

Enis watched his expression shift and while her old self might not have noticed, this Enis did. She was designed to watch and study those around her and while she has yet to pinpoint the cause to Rhys distraction, she knows that there was something dividing his attention.

"I have nothing in mind. Not yet." She quickly played a tune on the piano in front of her before glancing back up at Rhys.

"Is there a song you like? I'm sure there is one. I can play anything flawlessly."

'Pick a song about gettin' frea-kay! Get her in the mood~'

Because of course that's Jack's suggestion.

Rhys has something else in mind. He quickly searches through his stored music, looking for just the thing. He finally finds it and sends it to Enis with a fond smile.

"Think you could play a piano version of this?"

Enis released a low pleased chuckle. "Old school. I like it." She shifted in her seat and played a little flourish before starting the song. "I actually know this one. Are we singing together or would you rather sing on your own?"

She had a nice voice. It wasn't practiced but it was warm and she knew all of the words.

Enis secretly loved this song. It was a good choice Rhys, whatever other changes to Enis, she was still at her core the same.

It's rather hard to ignore the blue specter miming out his disgust to the side. Clearly, the author of the AI program didn't think Jack was a romantic. Maybe he could change that later...

"Yeah, sing with me. I've never had someone that makes me want to sing this one, much as I like it~" Which was true. He'd had romantic partners before, but looking back now, they all just seemed like distractions.

Enis truly felt like a partner.

Enis laughed a little and shook her head. "I make you want to sing a song about a monkey?" She didn't sounded like she minded but humor danced within her bright blue eyes. She was more relaxed than she used to be and gained the skill to take the moments happening around her lightly.

She was different but it wasn't a bad different.

"Then let's sing." Enis played another little flourish and started the song. Her voice was warm and pleasant and she knew all the words. When the song came to an end there was a weird little murmur but the bar seemed to enjoy despite what an odd choice it was. It likely helped that the pair of them were very attractive.

"Any else you want?" It didn't sound like she was just asking about music anymore.
