Nestled into the Umpqua Forest, Eugene, Oregon is a very busy college town that bustles about 24/7. A very rainy urban oasis in the middle of dense green forest. Within this town, among the unsuspecting human race, live vampires, just like anywhere else in the world. Currently staying on the Northern outskirts are a coven of governing vampires dedicated to the keeping of the Code. The Code is the vampire law that all vampires must abide. Of course, there are delinquents.
Live as a vampire or human in the world of Ashen Nights. Abide by the Code or break it and face the consequences. Create your own coven or your own empire... For the vampire, the whole world is a playground.

The Local Buzz
This coffee shop is stuck in a strip just outside the main buildings outside the Oregon University campus. The outside has very heavy foot, bycicle, and car traffic along with green plastic chairs and while plastic tables with umbrellas sticking out of them. The front of the shop it glass and is normally covered in all kinds of multi-colored flyers from local bands and shows, to demonstrations, to study groups, to most anything else. The inside walls are painted brick-red and the seating area is filled with missmatched comfortable couches with missmatched coffee tables. And tall tables with mismatched tall chairs. They have a windowed-display counter showing off all kinds of desserts and sandwiches. Wonderful aromas of coffee, caramel, chocolate, waft out the open glass door enticing those to enter. The people that work here are the hippy sort. Men and woman around early twenties to late fifties work here. They tend to wear things like tie-die hemp and beaded jewlery and have their hair in dred locks.

Boredom comes all too easliy for the immortal. Once you get so used to everything it is hard to find something interesting. New activities get hard to come by, after one has experianced all there is to experiance. What do you do when anything you do holds no real interest? What do you do when you have done it all before? Going through the motions of activities and ideals that do not interest you can be simply maddening. If one was not already there. I am afraid I may have already gone off the deep end long ago, and have grown so used to myself that I cannot even notice impending (or present) insanity. So what do I do? I go for a walk.
I leave my house. The overly glorified hunk of stone and wood set on earth than makes Aislinn happy. At least she is kept busy. I did not grab my car keys out of the door of the useless kitchen. I was not going to take my car into town. I could tell my dull streak was going to last for a while, tipped off to my coven by my dull words. I was going for a walk, and they knew better than to ask me if I wanted company.
The center of town is about eight miles away from where I was, strolling down my expansive lawn that I did not care to keep up but looked emaculate anyway... another product of Aislinn. My dark brown leather jacket, a prop for the human society, was draped over my left shoulder. I was not going to put it on. It was daylight, about four o'clock in the evening, and it was drizzling. The light rain clung to my white hair, makeing it sparkle and look crystaline. I pulled my black sunglasses out of my pant's pocket and put them on. Even with the cloud cover the daylight still ached in my head.
My black combat boots made no sound as I walked human-pace toward town. I passed bicyclists and training college track-runners that stared at me as I walked across the old decaying sidewalks alongside busy roads. This, I was used to, albino as I am. The roads were dotted with business and homes, a cross-zoned area of commercial and residential. The houses looked low-income. With prayer flags hanging over windows, car-ports, and front doors. Flaking paint of various colors and semi kept up yards. Hippies. Most of the people in this town, young and old, smoked pot or visited woodstock...
Still I walked, jacket draped over my left shoulder, droplets of water clinging to my hair. I found myself close to the college campus. There was busy foot traffic here. Students running infront of traffic, traffic honking angrily at the students. Young adults ducked in and out of shops along the road... staring at the abnormally white guy. Again, I did not mind. You would think they would get used to me eventually. I was not a hermit, I did frequent the inner city. Maybe it was just their human instincts telling them something is wrong with this man. Something dangerous. Something inside of what was left of their primal fears making them debate whether ti fight or flee. Fighting was useless, even if they had a gun. Flight was useless, I would catch them and wisk them off somewhere so fast that their heads would be spinning so fast they would forget even their names.
I could tell some reconized me. Few did not even look up from their laptops and books as I chose to sit down on a green plastic chair, next to a dirty white plastic table with a broken umbrella in the center, infront of a coffee shop to people watch.
Humans had it so easy. Among the smell of coffee beans, cocoa, caramel and other flavorings wafting outside from the open doors of the coffee shop; I could smell the amazing aroma of the blood that pulsed and swirled around me. A smell, flavors that a human would never understand. And as my thrist grew. The hollow burning ache at the pit of my stomach. The dry burning in my throat. The way my eyes watched the unuldalation of blood through the blue veins in their necks. Yes, humans had it too easy.
When they got thirsty all they had to do is walk to the nearest refridgerator, or here, to a coffee shop where they can have anything from the obivous to water. No waiting, just a monetary cost. No human deaths, just a thirst quenching beverage that came hot or cold. I shuddered as the thought of cold blood came into my head. Disgusting.
I spent most of my time debating with myself about taking someone here. I guess that is what I did when I people watched. Kind of like a human walking into a seafood restaurant and chosing their lobster from a tank. I wondered to myself how I would go about it today...
Would I simply stand up and ask if they wanted to go for a walk with me? Would I ask them for directions and have them lead me for a short distance away from onlookers for me to act? Would I simply just follow a passerby until they were alone for me to feed? Too many options, I did not really need to drink today anyway. Yes, I was thirsty, but I was always thirsty just at varying levels. I sighed and leaned back into my chair. I loitered here as I watched unsuspecting prey subjects pass by in an effort to continue on with their daily lives.
If only they knew who watched while his lips sheathed venom coated fangs.

Mercedes;;
I had woken up about noon, and had strolled about my apartment basically wasting my life. I did some laundry and other household tidbits; I got into a spat with my only roommate, who was even more lost than I was, so I do not hold her disposition against her. Instead, I just grabbed my white shoulder tote that was filled with my laptop and school materials, and walked out the door.
Of course with my luck, half-way walking down the sidewalk, it began to drizzle, and of course, I didn't bring an umbrella with me. So, I had no choice but to run from stoop to stoop until I finally reached my destination: the Coffee Shop. I can't say my strategy of running from cover to cover worked exactly, because I was still all nice and "moisturized". The warmth of the store and the delicious, comforting aromas of coffee managed to subdue my worries and even put a small smile on my face.
Once inside, I did not bother to look around for someone I knew, because Heaven knows I had no one to meet here. So, I scurried into the bathroom and in a dire attempt to dry myself took the paper towels and wiped my face, neck, chest, arms, and legs. My white, tightknit, longsleeved shirt and dark denim mini skit would dry in time. Most people probably would put their hair up in such a condition, but I just let it down, for whatever reason, water seemed to help my dark locks.
With a final look in the mirror and a shrug of the shoulders, I left the ladies room and found a darkgreen, comfy chair calling my name. I did what every other college student in the store seemed to be doing: getting out the laptop, the schoolbook, and perform some last-minute duty.
Half-way through my research paper on the poem "The Mirror" by Sylvia Plath, I noticed the presence of a strange man. His skin was the whitest shade of pale, equally matched by his hair and eyebrows. Was he albino? I couldn't tell because his eyes were hidden by dark sunglasses. Sunglasses in this cloud cover? Strange.
As a matter of fact, everything about him was odd, and I couldn't help but just, well just stare at him. He was just sitting there, watching the people of the coffee shop. He wasn't drinking coffee or reading a magazine- nothing. Perhaps thats why he wore the shades, in order for him to be able to look where-ever without anyone noticing where his eyes were going? I do not know, but all that I do know, is that something was..something was..off...

Zion Alexander Koslov
Here it was. My big chance. I had been inside, staring blankly at a computer monitor behind my dark sunglasses when he had appeared inside. The internet held mild interest for me, someone was always putting something odd or unusual on it. I had plugged the headphones into the side, and was watching people do stupid stunts on a site called YouTube when I saw him.
Abnormally pale, even more so by the fact he was an albino, hidden under the dark shades that made him look even more so. I wasn't sure what exactly he was doing here. I mean, of course he had every right to be, but he didn't seem to be doing particularly anything...except people watching. Or perhaps better yet, food shopping. I at least had my 'normal' charade down-pat, and I didn't draw quite as my stares as I used to.
I pulled one headphone of of my ear, pausing the particularly idiotic stunt some people called 'Jackass' were doing. Something more had caught my eyes from behind their dark cover. It was that girl I had seen the other night. She was staring at Aries Andaire just like I was. And almost like she was staring at the moon the other night, stupidly.
Under the quiet human murmurings, and the clicking of computer keys I could imagine what Aries could hear. The blood coursing through all of these people. And of course to the reigning 'King' they weren't anything more than...well like ice cream to a mortal child. Which one did he want? What flavor? The hollow ache in my own stomach twisted and knotted. I had been only three days since a good meal.
But at least it was slight. Closing the laptop on the table, and placing the headphones on top I got up warily from my own green plastic chair. I watched as many nerds looked mighty greedy for my computer, left sitting on the table, and I didn't care if one of them took it. Without a second glance at the contraption or at the girl I had met the other night, I gracefully crossed the room.
I reached the table, perhaps too quickly, and snagged one of the chairs. I did not look up to meet whatever gaze, instead I merely looked interested in the broken umbrella. "Well, well, well...mighty King decided to go for a walk?" I hissed quietly. Here he was. The item of my hatred, and admiration. Hatred, by the monster, for limiting his kills...and slight admiration on the other half that was grateful. But I had heard too many stories of this man.
He was just as bad, letting his urges drive him to kill others. My head shook sadly, consciously. It was a reversal then. The monster half was delighted to meet another with views such as his own....as my own, and then the human type piece that was continually fading over my hundreds of years was beginning to ebb towards hate for him. I glanced over to where Mercedes sat, only a fleeting glance before boring my gaze back at Aries.

ooc| Amazing. Somehow this was akin to fishing, I got two bites... And somehow I ended up inside the shop? Nice. lol, I'll fix that by back tracking a little...
And again... I grew even more tiresome of my activities. I sighed and leaned forward on the dirty white plastic table. Folding my hands together and interlacing my fingers in the process. I stared into the dust and black specks that seemed permanent on the surface. I tried to image little pictures in them as I allowed my brain to wander else-where, done with staring at things I wanted too badly, but could not have, for the moment.
I found in the dirt beside my hands an AK-47, a pair of sneakers, a lionfish, ...a cat. I grinned and laughed quietly to myself. A cat? My imagination was spent. When my grouping of grime was splattered away by larger raindrops that I had not noticed falling, I sighed again, stretched my back very slightly, got up smoothly and walked inside. I followed a girl in with a white tote that seemed thoroughly irritated with the rain. She quickly perused the woman's restroom. I sidestepped to my left, finding yet another plastic green chair and white table ensemble, complete with broken umbrella. My guess was that the reason why this one was stored inside was because there was simply no room outside with the other tables, chairs, and foot traffic. I stared at the umbrella, amusement forcing my emotionless face into a more thoughtful guise... Was there an anti-umbrella movement somewhere?
I folded my hands again, leaned forward onto the table, and stared at the U of O students busying away at their studies and sipping away at their caffeine. Inside the shop now, the closed space (someone had shut the doors due to the weather) captured and held all the mingling aromas. My expression of amusement washed away. Leaving nothing in its place...
I watched as the one who I followed in walked out of the hallway were the restrooms were stored, still seemingly flustered by the wet, set up her workstation to join all the rest of the studiers. I stared at her. She did smell quite appetizing as I followed her in. It was a while before she looked up, and stared. Of course. I was glad my dark shades served more than one purpose. I wonder how she would act is she knew I was staring at her.
But I did not get to linger on that thought for long. My gaze shifted to one that stood up, looking at me with intent. I closed my eyes in a slight annoyance. I had seen him when I walked in and already noticed the affiliation, so I had paid him no attention since. But here he was, strutting towards me. A faint air of arrogance surrounded him. It reminded me of Leo.
I did not move when he pulled up the chair next to me. The copper haired vampire did not hesitate to start the mocking. However, he stared at the broken umbrella, not meeting my stare. Was he in on the broken umbrella epidemic? "Well, well, well...mighty King decided to go for a walk?"
Patronizing. Nice. I shook my head with a condescending smile and allowed a chuckle to escape me. I leaned back in my chair while doing this, making myself comfortable. "Yes." I spoke. The slight hint of an older-than-Celtic accent shining through the one word. My strong voice was smooth. I wondered if I should play his silly game. What the hell, I had time on my hands. "Anything else?" I left the question open to interpretation. Curious as to what he might answer me with.
ooc: I edited. The bolding of spoken word grew on me.

My straing tranze was broken at the appearance of Zion. I do not know if it was the surprise of seeing him, especially so soon, or something else, but my heart skipped a beat. I do not know if he saw me, but I am much to shy, and kind of almost still in a state of surprise that I was not about to go up to him with a big ol' smile and a friendly 'Hello'. Although, I couldn't help but be curious to how this moonlit stranger, who I nearly believed was a dream, behaved in daylight.. And in an attempt, to cover my curiousity, I lowered my eyes to the my laptop, pretending to write my paper. When I dared to look up from my work again, Zion was already striding over to the strange man, and almost angrily pulling out a chair. The sight of the two of them sitting so close, gave me chills. Zion, like the stranger, had the same white color skin, paired with dark sunglasses. If I remember correctly though, and I should because a night like last night never happens to me, Zion didn't have the red eyes that are a trait of albinos, and he definately does not have the same ghostly white hair that the unknown man has, but yet, they both share that icey ivory skin. Strange..
I attempted to strain my hearing in order to pick up their converstaion. Definately not proper etiquette, but hey, curiousity is a flaw of mine that I am not ashamed to have. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but I think I heard the word "King" escape Zions lips. King? No, I must be mistaken. There aren't any 'Kings' in America, and especially not here in Oregon, they are clearly talking about something entirely different.
And so, before my mind was off on a wild, creative rampage of conspiracies and what-nots, I returned to my paper. My thoughts, however, were not entirely on what I was doing, and every once in a while, my flaw got the better of me, and I glanced up to see what Zion and 'the ghost' were up to...

I let my fingers drum noisily on the plastic white table, tapping out a song of my own composition. The dull thudding of my fingers was nothing compared to how it sounded on the piano, but it was relaxing. I let a small, amused, smile creep onto my face. So he atleast had some sense of humor. From rumors, I had heard he was a nasty old fart. My gaze looked up form the dirty white plastic to my abandoned computer, and then to Mercedes. I wondered if she had noticed I was even here. She was staring busily into her paper, seemingly not interested with us anymore. Then she looked up, as I looked away. Wrong, I suppose. The light thudding of my fingers grew quieter as I leaned forward on the dirty plastic.
"Yes, actually. I was wondering as to why that is. From what I have heard, you wander often alone. Are you so unafraid that others might take you out?" My question was quite honestly curious. He was quite old, weathered in immortal years, though not looking a day over his transformation age. Had he not bothered to think that someone might just decide to gang up on him, and pull him to pieces with a comrade or three? Take over this city, and knock his family down from their high horse? Had he not thought that I may or may not seek such a thing? I kept my face very open, struggling to look as though I knew Aries personally. I think I was trying far too hard.
The sun made my head throb, despite the dark shades covering my pitch colored eyes. I let out a tired sigh. "Boy...I was sure, this would be more...exciting or something. I was sure that I was going to get some sort of fight out of this." I let my fingers drum boredly on the table again, almost fidgeting in the green plastic. I wished I had someone to fight. Real or playful otherwise. It'd been far to long since I'd had anything that could put up a good fight. One of my hands ran over the pale scar that extended from my left eye to the base of my left ear.
A scowl twisted my features, as I pondered on the origin of the scar. I didn't remember ever getting it. But it was there....real as life. I concentrated on the unneeded breath. It was uncomfortable without a sense of smell, but we didn't,technically, need to breathe. I wondered how long I could go without breath. I'd never tried it. I put it on my list of stupid vampire things to do. It was two hundred and eighty-nine on this list...and even in eight hundred plus years, I'd never gotten around to them. But now I was wandering off. I tried to pay more attention. Damn.

Quietly, I watched him fidget. Patiently, I watched him also glance to the girl I had followed in. She was beginning to grow on me. In a way that I wanted to make a game of it. There we go, something to do. I decided. Sometimes, and no matter how sick or sadistic it sounded, I would spend months stalking just one human. Finding everything I could out of this person. Parents names, home room number, study hour, favorite TV show, phone number, best friend, a lover... soon their pet starts missing. Always the easiest place to start. They are concerned and scared for the companion creature they kept with them... The their parents start getting strange phone calls, her best friend starts acting weird. The lover comes over one night, watching the favorite TV show. Loss of reception, perhaps? A phonecall by me... the lights go out. A scene set up as an occult murder-suicide. All fun and games... I laughed inside. Aislinn would kill me if she knew of the sick games I sometimes played with my victims. Scaring them to their wit's end before the kill. Heh, she probably already knew. She was too forgiving. But with a shake of my head I stop daydreaming and come around to the present...
"Yes, actually. I was wondering as to why that is. From what I have heard, you wander often alone. Are you so unafraid that others might take you out?" He seemed honestly curious but it seemed as if he were trying to convey some strange emotion. I could not help but smile at my own amusement. "Boy...I was sure, this would be more...exciting or something. I was sure that I was going to get some sort of fight out of this."
I laughed. It was no chuckle. The sound rolled from me effortlessly, not subdued, but not boisterous, either. "And what if they do find me? What if they do rip me to pieces? Should I live each and every one of my long years in fear and cowerdice?" I asked him and then, slightly indignantly, "I think not!"
"And why do you think I wanted to fight you? Has that all what has become of rumors these days? That I may just be some red-eyed wild monster, a bloodthirsty tyrant hell-bent on destroying existance?" I shook my head half-heartedly and allowed my eyes to wander to a upper corner of the brick-red painted room before settling on staring straight ahead, then back at my visitor. Though the eye-action was covered by my black sunglasses. "Heh, or are you simply just bored," my tone becomming more tame, "such as myself?" I chuckled a little, "I'll be the first to admit, however. More fun is held at an open cakset funeral than most time with me."
"All this, and I don't even know your name." I added, raising an eyebrow momentarily.
Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

It was my turn to chuckle. "No, I suppose not. I'd figure you'd have some type of body guard. Maybe you are just an old fart." The last sentence was a bit more for myself than him. I sighed, half tempted to rise from the table and leave again. I stared quite interested at his white features, from the hair on his head to his pallid skin, he was whiter than me. And I was pretty damn close to being an albino myself.
"Yes, I'm starting to see that now. Nor do you seem to be as intimidating as the others preach either." I mused thoughtful. My gaze turned to the outside world, the drizzle was begining to get harder. The clouds were darkening a rather unfriendly shade of grey, and I sighed. Easier for me, but I would damn sure be wet.
I looked back to him, as he spoke of not knowing my name. Of course, he wouldn't no mine. I didn't think he exctly had a reason for knowing. "Well since it seems I'll be the one breaking the rules in this city, you'll lean it soon enough." I laughed again. I glanced back over at Mercedes, and then at my computer. Hmph. The headphones were gone. My eyes narrowed as I looked for the theif. Stupid no good humans. I made a low hissing noise, shaking my head.
"Annoying....humans." I wrinkled my nose in disgust. I looked back over at Mercedes again, smoothing out my facial features. I pulled a half genuine smile from somewhere, and raised two fingers...beckoning her to us. I looked back to Aries for a moment. "I hope you don't mind, King Aries." I sneered. I leaned back over my chair, recklessly balancing it on its hind legs. I smirked.

I had just finished my paper when the soft sound of laughter tickled through my ears. I looked up to see Zion looking disappointingly at his abandoned computer. Before I had time to ponder what he was disappointed at, those haunting eyes met mine. I drew in a quick breath, but didn't look away although guilty I was at watching him. Then, a small smile broke upon his lips, and I returned the gesture. I must admit, it was awkward seeing him so soon, and especially in daylight. I dont know why, but night time just suited him. In daylight he, and even the stranger next to him, reminded me of foreigners in some distant country, although beside their lack of hue in the skin they appeared 'normal'. But then again, normal to me isn't normal to the next person and so on and so on, but that is another topic entirely, and his motioning gesture for me to approach the duo kept my mind from wandering down any tangents of thought.
For some reason, I did not want to go over there. I was content with my computer, just gazing after them every now and again, but even I know such behavior is strange, and in a small case, pathetic. What do I have to be afraid of? The answer is nothing.
So, without allowing my mind to explore all the possible, crazy ideas as to what I will encounter when I approach them, I did so. With my belongings already put away, I walked as calmly and with all the confidence I could muster up to the table that held Zion and the stranger.
"Hello Zion.." My voice was soft and calm, and a touch of smile graced my supple lips.
It was probably proper etiquette to allow Zion to introduce me, but these past two years I have been more on the independent side, and plus, I was never one for 'proper etiquette'. So, I extended a slender, petite hand towards the stranger. "Hi, I'm Mercedes."
Re: They had it too easy [closed to others] « Reply #9 on Jun 19, 2008, 2:10pm »
I watched and listened to him with a raised eyebrow, pulling my hands together so my fingers touched but not my palms. It was nothing I have not heard before. Threats and names, just more threats and names. Someday this marry-go-round will have to stop, until then I'll just keep seeing the same things go around and around.
It amused me to see him so amused with himself. As if the words comming out of his mouth were supposed to mean something to me. As if the words were supposed to push buttons connected to my anger censor. No, I may just be a bit irritated. I was never one to be directed to as "king" but I will sit it out. Giving him my useless time of day. He looked irritated as he glanced back over to where he previously sat, something was missing. Oh, his headphones.
He said something condencending toward humans, which I did not entirely believe myself but we all had our own, personal, opinions on the subject. He then beconed one over. I was suprised with the one he had chosen. The same woman I was allowing myself to daydream gory fantasies over. It suprised me even more that she knew him. And when she introduce herself to me and stuck out her hand for me to shake I took it. I held her hand firmly, for her, not for me. "Old fart." I intoduced myself as. "Or, Aries, rather." I corrected for the better benefit of her knowing my call name as I released her hand.
My cell phone buzzed. The I was not expecting it, so the vibration of my phone slightly startled me, though I did not show it. I scowled slightly as I rose just a bit to be able to pull the phone from my black slack's pocket. I then sat down and answered it, keeping my eyes on both persons in my company to better judge reactions. I did not speak first.
"Just you and Leo at the house?" "I see. I will return home in about ten minutes."
I flipped the slim black phone shut and set it down on the dirty white plastic table. Ignoring the fact I received a phone call at all for just a few more moments. I wanted to know why he brought the girl this way, out of simple curiosity.

I smiled as she sauntered over this way, glad and some what surprised. It seemed she was either on her way out, or perhaps thought of joining them. Of course, who wouldn't want to join two handsome men. If they could be called that anymore. Brone's thoughts on the subject weren't much help either. I chuckled as Aries introduced himself, the grin quirking even more. Crazy old man. Mercedes took the time to introduce herself, even though I would have been glad to do so. I watched Aries closely as he took her hand.
"It's nice to see you again Mercedes." I turned my full attention on her. I glanced away for a moment, and stood offering my chair. "Would you like a seat?" The dark shades covering my eyes kept the sun blissfully out of them. I preferred the night, and I couldn't quite figure out what about the day drew me out anyway. I heard a muffled buzzing, and took it as a cell phone when he pulled the black item from his pocket. After rising of course. I hadn't looked to see if Mercedes had taken the chair I offered. Unfortunately my hearing wasn't quite as tuned as I had though, so I only caught one side. "Problems?" I questioned, my brow quirking.
He set it down onto the soiled white table. I barely glanced at it. I looked back to Mercedes. "Writing a paper?" I guessed. Many others were doing the same, but I didn't know if she was even in college. She seemed young enough, smart enough for that matter. But looks can be deceiving. Take Aries and I for that matter. We didn't exactly look like blood thirsty monsters. Or myths for that matter. We just did not. But we were similar. The skin, the shades, it was just e was more devoid of color than I. Like a glass of milk. Only there was no sweet taste that comes with milk. Hmm, I hadn't had any milk in the longest time. I snapped out of the mild of course day dream. It was stupid. I rolled my eyes. "Do you need to depart from us?" I asked.
