Vespyr had been sleeping since the sunrise, wallowing through shapeless sleep and nondescript dreams until the warm touch of a cat's paw aroused her from her slumber. Violet eyes fluttered open to see another, smaller amber one peeking out from the darkness.
Rrrow...
"Yeah i know, i overslept. Sorry." the femme grumbled, rising from the matress on the floor and slipping into a pair of ripped jeans that lay beside it. She finished dressing and briskly ran a comb through her sleek hot-pink-and-blonde hair before stepping out of the dark room, followed by the persistant feline. Cold moonlight poured through the broken glass windows, spilling across the concrete floor like a tipped can of the purest white paint. The mural of the sunset glowed with an eerie indigo light as the moonshine held it in its silent grasp, and the two companions exited the building without a sound to disturb it.
Once outside they were immediately swayed by an icey gust of night air, a reminder of the coming winter. Vespyr bent down to pick up the cat, and with him tucked cozily beneath the folds of her trenchcoat near her chest, they set off onto the desolate, lamplit streets.
There are more people visiting the grocery store in the late evening than one would think, and this was preferable for the tiny heist about to take place. As the two neared the bustling entrance of the supermarket, Vespyr withdrew Fleesh from the warmth of her jacket, planting a quick kiss on the top of his head before nodding toward the door, whispering, "You're a trained professional, darling. Watch out for the carts, and have fun."
She rose and watched him dart unnoticed between the legs of the shoppers with a sly grin across her black cherry lips, fishing a cigarette from the depths of her pockets. It was lit, and she leaned comfortably against a concrete pillar a few paces away from where the diligent shoppers hustled like ants. In about ten minutes, they'd be on their way home again with enough munchies to last another week-- free of charge.

( ooc: Wow..this is like the one thing I had never thought to play. Grocery shopping XD Epix! )
Kevala was not in a good mood. Here she was, at the grocery store...for the first time in....FOREVER!! Why? Cause she had people do to it for her usually. She was not above doing the task herself. It was just that when you had such a busy schedule such as hers, you tended to despise such small tasks cause they took away from your free time with your family.
Spike and the twins.
Yes, Spike was her family. She was not sure when that had happened, but it had. But that was beside the point. Here she was, no standing in the isle and trying to decide which formula would work best for the twins. The one they were on just did not seem to be working and though Aiden was growing like a weed, Kazumi was still rather small for her age.
Suddenly something brushed against her leg....
WTF???
Her brow rising as she looked down and noted a cat darting off.
What the hell?
She shook her head, looking about the area for the feline's owner...spotting a girl standing against a pillar beside the door. A grin on her lips as she looked into the store. Hmm....interesting....
She figured what the hell...why not be annoying and ask. (and cause the mun is having post block on how to get the two to meet. XD )
Moving forward she would leave her few groceries behind. Cause yeah..they really were not that important to her at the moment.
Approaching the girl with pink hair she would stand back, speaking up softly.
"Your cat I take it?"
Yeah she was just that good. ( For the sake of this thread. Hehe )

Vespyr flicked the remains of the cigarette away as Fleesh scurried out of the store, his jaws full of food. As she was about to stoop down to pick him up, she noticed a petite, brown haired femme looking, rather interested, at Fleesh.
"That's not edible." Vespyr murmered to Fleesh in a manner that was only funny between the two of them; Vespyr's sly and dark sense of humour was often taken literally, but indeed, she wasn't always a serious person.
"Your cat I take it?"
A thought-provoking question indeed; Fleesh did not belong to her nor was tied to her in any way-- he was as free as the wind if he wished to be. Yet here were the two, inseperable. "He's not really mine..." Vespyr replied, her voice smooth, regal, almost eerie in a way, as the cat climbed with ease onto her shoulder, wrapping his tail around her neck like an orange scarf. "Like you wouldn't necessarily say that a friend belongs to you. We're companions, yes. But property, he's not."
The curious girl would most likely not have noticed that the food that Fleesh had pillaged from the welcoming shelves of the store had now disappeared into the abysmal pockets of Vespyr's coat, all but forgotten. Just a girl and a cat, nothing more.

She nodded. Yes she understood that. She would never think to say she owned any of her friends. So who was she to say that a cat was any different. After all, she considered her dog to be her best friend. In some weird way. He understood everything about her, and he knew her deepest secrets. So to say that she really owned him would be wrong.
"Yes, I can understand that."
Her hand extended outward as she smiled. Oh yeah, she was trying to make friends...again...gods she needed help it was becoming some form of addiction to her.
"I am Kevala and you are?"
She really paid no mind to what the girl was doing here with the cat. It really made no matter to her. She was not once to get into other people's business. She had simply been curious and now she knew. But that was no reason to up and leave. She was curious about the girl. She was far different than any of the others she had met while being here. And in her experience the ones that were different made for the best company.
With the exception of crispy critter boy......he was just a pain in the ass. But yeah! Different was good!

Vespyr looked disdainfully at the girl's hand as she outstretched it welcomingly, feeling rather odd and out of place. She had not been herself lately, for whatever reason. It seemed her mind did not beckon for the same violent urges, and so she shook the girl's hand without even an ounce of antipathy. But there was that question again, the issue of names which the importance of seemed to baffle her. Vespyr didn't give a rat's ass about the girl's name, but still...
"I'm Vespyr..." she said, trailing off and swiftly depositing her hand back into her pocket. Fleesh watched this curiously, leaning in closer so that his pale orange face brushed against his mistriss's, his one eye gleaming sternly at Kevala. Vespyr felt this but did nothing, hoping the cat's cold demeanor would ward her off so that they could return home.
Social situations like this were always more than a little awkward.
(ooc: sorry for the shortness and... awkwardness lol. Vespyr's antisocial, i always have a hard time making her do threads with people xD)

( ooc: Sorry for the delay was trying to think how best to handle this. XD )
Kevala noted the mood of the situation. She was clearly unwanted but meh, she really did not care. She was not the type to give up easily. Hell she hung around Gabriel for god's sake! You had to be stubborn and steadfast to do that.
So, instead of leaving she would lean back against the wall and look at the girl with the feline. Her mind running over things she could say at this point and coming up with only one.
"So, do you go to school at 259?"
She had a feeling she didnt. Or else Kev would have seen her. But for the sake of converstation, she asked. Who knows? She could just be in all sorts of classes where Kev would miss her, or she could just skip class....A LOT....either way....she asked. Heh

Vespyr narrowed her eyes grudgingly at the girl's question, cracking her knuckles within the folds of her jacket pockets. Of course she didn't go to school, she had many other more... important things to attend to rather than waste her sanity in that asylum.
"No. I don't." she growled, becoming miffed at the extension of what was to be a quick food run. The gregarious, talkative ones were usually to first to die. Vespyr's haunting violet eyes shimmered a nefarious gleam for an instant at the thought, but no... not here. Too many people bustling around, no dark alleyways to lurk in the recesses of and make the cold black walls steam with blood. Very, very disappointing.
All of a sudden, an idea came to light in Vespyr's mind, one that shone something wicked. Now was an opportunity for the advancement of undisclosed purposes. In an instant, the underlying hostile glare had been replaced by something warm and inviting, and Vespyr's black cherry lips pulled back into a fake smile-- a very well-replicated one, recognizeable not to strangers as something false and dangerous.
"I may, however, be attending sometime in the next year. Perhaps you could tell me what to expect? A little insight, maybe? It would be rather helpful to a new student." she inquired cordially, resting with catlike ease against a pillar. Fleesh slithered behind her neck and lay across her shoulders with his one eye fixed on his mistriss in questioning silence.

(ooc: Sorry it took me so long. Things have just been.....bleh....*sighs* Next time just MSN me and poke at me til I reply. Heh )
She noted the sudden change in the girl's attitude. It was enough to get her to raise a brow, but she would blow it off and shrug softly.
"Well there is not much to know other than be careful how you speak to certain people. Some just tend to be a bit.....touchy."
She nodded, thinking that was the best way to put it. Honestly she did not know what was wrong with some of the people at school, but she did not bother to ask. She really cared about nobodies past aside from her own and figured staying out of everyones way was the best way to avoid getting into trouble.
Cause ya know it had worked so well for Kev in the past. heh.
Either way she would continue to let those icy hues scan over the girl, not sure what to make of this one. She was definately different than the rest but at the same time she found the girl rather interesting.
But only time would tell what this person was really up to. Did Kev trust her? Pft! Kev trusted Gabriel. That was it. Hell she lived with a man she did not fully trust yet. But when you have been down the road of betrayl as many times as she had, it was understandable.
"Anything specific you were wishing to know? I mean, I can try and assist as best I can."

Vespyr noted with keen watchfulness that cock of the eyebrow, the slight note that meant her motives weren't completely transparent. She would have to be more convincing, but that wouldn't be a problem. Vespyr could feel the girl's eyes sweeping over her as a cold gust of wind swirled past. She forced herself to look away in the direction of some twirling leaves; if their eyes met in scrutiny, there would, without a doubt, be a following moment of silence in which each of their worn congenial demeanors would shatter. It was an interesting sort of thing that played out between strangers, like a complex and strategic game-- to observe while being observed, but without having the appearance of watchfulness. It was almost like a dance, where each of them carefully and secretly studied the other's movements while marking up their own in response. In this way, Vespyr could see the distrusting nature in the girl's heart as if she were made of the clearest glass.
Be careful what it is you say... I can see right through you on a cloudy day.
Her eyes still glittering with quiet optimism, she shrugged indifferently and continued. "Well, i've not attended a real school before. I'm not really sure what to expect so i don't really have any specific questions... Heh. I guess i'll just have to go with the flow of things and hope it works out."
Vespyr wasn't exactly sure where she was going with this, but she had a vague idea in her head that she was cautiously baby-stepping toward in hopes that it would help her out in the end. She had a feeling that Kevala might be useful to her later on, so she would keep her as close as possible for now. No harm in that, right?
"When i do start at 259, could i seek you out? Perhaps you could show me around?"

( ooc: Well don't they make quite the trusting pair? XDD )
Kevala could tell this girl was not being honest, it was something she felt filling the air around them. She was withholding truth or perhaps simply had some other goal in mind she did not wish to bring forth at this particular time.
Either way Kevala would only continue to smile. Nodding softly as she brushed her tongue slowly over her lips.
"Yes, you make seek me out. I am not hard to find."
She would then reach up, a few strands of raven locks being tucked back behind her ear as she kept those icy hues upon the girl. She did not know if she should be glad that this girl would seek her out, or worried.
Not that it mattered either way. She was always willing to help and even though this one may not trust her, she could understand that.
"As for the school itself..well, it is a violent place. I shall not lie about that. But there are good people there none the less. It is all dependent upon how you act as to how they will act toward you."
She shrugged softly. Kevala was able to make most people her friend over time. With the exception of one or two. It was a gift and yet a curse. For it was because she was able to do this that Gabriel had been drawn to her, and that had led to a whole mess of complications.
Bah!
Mind wandering once more she would shake her head lightly. The voices she heard constantly wishing to rise up once more. But she fought them back. Now was not the time for a mental conversation. Not when she had an actual one right before her.
"If you ever need anything...."
She reached into her back pocket, pulling out a card which held her name and cell number on it. A simple black card with red lettering. She held it out to the girl.
"Feel free to call me."
Yes, Kevala would like to keep an eye on this one. Not so much out of distrust but more out of curiosity. A true weakness to Kev.

Vespyr nodded in understanding as Kevala spoke, jotting down quick notes in her mind. She slipped the card smoothly into her pocket (where it was bound to never be seen again) and rose from the pillar, outstretching a hand to mimic the friendly gesture from before.
"Well, thank you. It was nice to meet you, but i'd best be going now. If all goes well, i'll be seeing you soon..." she said, a trickle of something dangerous and foreboding creeping in to her voice, though barely noticeable. Her violet eyes glinted in a chilling manner as she turned away, the cat returning nimbly to the ground as she did so. He paused there for a moment, giving Kevala a haunting stare momentarily before twitching his tail and following his mistress out of the light.
As soon as Vespyr was out of the girl's sight, her visage returned to its normal state of cold apathy and she shivered in silent excitement. Kevala had said the school was a violent place; but they would soon know the meaning of true violence.

Kevala knew something was up, but she pretended not to. Best to let the girl believe she had pulled on over on her. Shaking the girl's hand she would nod softly.
"I shall see you another time perhaps."
With that she would watch as the girl left. Day after day more and more evil, vindictive people made their way to the school. It was chaos, to say the least. Gabriel wished to change that, but would he ever really be able to do such?
Shaking her head, she would wait until the girl was out of sight and then turn and make her way back into the store. She still had to get her shopping done and then return home.
Her mind making a mental note to keep an eye out around school for that girl. She did not know if she would ever see her again, but it did not hurt to keep tabs. Did it?
