[info]justification

Who: Cordelia & Adam
When: Wednesday, in the mid-afternoon
Where: The Medical Pavilion
What: Cordelia is attempting to get the necessary blood supply for herself and her husband, feeling quite persecuted in doing so, and what could have been a very harmful situation for a young medical assistant is avoided as Adam offers help...
Rating: R, for Cordelia's language

It was never a good sign when her jaw was set in place like that, moved forward to be just a teensy bit so her lower incisors pressed firmly against the much more pronounced uppers that were indeed fangs. This was how Cordelia held her tongue, by not allowing it to click against her teeth and hiss out threats that would surely land the vampire into a mess of trouble. )

Who: Devin and Cordelia (I'm also verrryyyy sorry to you!)
When: Late Night
Where: The Wine bar
What: Don't underestimate your company..


Devin had finally reached the wine bar with no social intentions. Of course, if anyone planned on talking to him he had splendid ignoring techniques. Eventually, Devin would just ask for the bottle of his poison of choice and drink until buzzed enough to block any voices coming his way. But usually he had a certain ‘look’ that was good enough to give off the impression he wasn’t up for bar conversation.

He asked for the barmaiden (he thought she said her name was Eliza. He didn’t quite pay attention) to leave a bottle of vodka beside his shot glass currently half full. His bored expression reflected in the clear fluid but rippled away when he raised his glass and downed the alcohol with ease. It once used to send a sting down his throat, but now he barely felt anything but slight ease. He just hated change, fruity drinks and having whatever everyone else was having.

He eased back in his seat with a bit of a sigh. “Christ, I feel like I’m the only one who’s going out of mind.” He refilled his glass and this time didn’t hesitate to take his next shot. He didn’t mean to speak out loud, that was an accidental invite for conversation.

[info]justification

Who: Cordelia & Sanura
When: Nearing curfew
Where: In Helicharis
What: Cordelia sees someone appealing to her eye...
Rating: TBA

The curfew was going to begin soon enough; ha! Cordelia had decided that a curfew was only meant for those that were incapable of defending themselves from would-be attackers; as a possible would-be attacker, it seemed only natural that she be allowed out to roam about as she pleased. After all, without her, what sort of reinforcement would there be for the new rule? Tut, her husband would say, behave yourself. The vampire had been behaving very well as of late, given the fact that virtually every day that passed, her desire to kill someone grew. Not because there was something in a vampire that hissed kill, kill, kill every night--one could feed and spare a life--but she wanted to kill because it was so incredibly boring in this place and the adrenaline rush of feeling a life crumble in her hands would be enough to sustain her for awhile. 'Awhile' was at least three weeks, give or take, but if she could draw out the death, the longer her satisfaction might last.

She missed being able to kill the over-privledged, ungrateful, or especially evil socialites of eastern Europe. Cordelia was not all that terrible; most of the lives she had taken by her own hands or fangs had it coming. If anything, they got off easy, but not all that well. There was still a lot that went into what they, Danukas and Cordelia, had done before all of this. As she left the glassblower's shop, she sighed wistfully. Oh, if only, if only. How Danukas could be pleased with this plague was something that was not beyond her, because she knew her husband well. Cordelia simply did not want to accept that he was satisfied with this new life and that he expected her to enjoy it just the same.

An appreciator of beautiful things, seeing as how she could spend much of her time in the glassblower's shop, it was not hard for her eyes to begin to search out beautiful people. There were different forms of beauty here; she wished to have seen more during the Full Moon but it appeared that many of the lycans were hidden away, by their own choice or someone else's, and so she had not been so lucky as to observe someone change. She supposed it was a very intimate for them, but truthfully, Cordelia was uncertain that she had met any such people thusfar in Elysium.

Cordelia strolled along, gaze shifted from one path to another, until her eyes fell on a pretty young thing. Quite beautiful, classic American-adored beauty. The eyes, the lips, the thin frame. The vampire herself was much more curvacious than her old society seemed to appreciate but it suited her well. She might very well have stalked the little slip of sweetness until the girl had to be off, protected by the curfew, and that would have been disappointing. Instead, Cordelia walked smoothly up to her and asked lightly, "Pardon me, do you have the time?"

Who: Zach and OPEN
When: Afternoon
Where: Alchemy Labs
What: Zach is finally taking some time to devote practice to his alchemy.

Zach set up the ingredients with care upon the table. The various bowls filled with minerals crushed into fine fragments formed a half-circle about a foot from the edge. Nearby, there was a heated furnace with a fire burning. Zach walked over to a cabinet and retrieved a number of tools for working with mineral fragments, such as a mortar and pestle, tongs, a filer, iron molds, and a special iron tray for handling the hot molds. He grabbed a pair of special gloves. Since he would be working with hot metals, it was best to keep himself protected from the heat. He also donned the rest of his body in heat-protective gear. It was something his grandmother always warned him about and required of him, even though in her days she never had those devices to help her while working with alchemy. She received several burns in her time for it, though, so Zach took it to heart and protected himself.

It had been a long time since he focused on his alchemy. First, handling the grief that came with losing his brother kept him from worry about things like that. His life became about trying to deal with the anguish dealt to his family with the passing of his older brother, Jared. Then, things calmed down after the war ended outside of their borders. Zach began to understand what it was like to have a normal life.

While living in the outside world before Pandora, he was an outcast kept away from other people because of his abilities. For once, in Elysium, he wasn’t different anymore and he was accepted as he was by everyone around him. He ignored his natural abilities with alchemy, elated about living in a place where he belonged at last. Zach was happy, something he hadn’t been able to say for a very a long time until recently with the love and support of his family and his girlfriend, Adrienne.

His grandmother urged him to continue with alchemy. Your hands’ll get all rusty if you don’t, Zach, she said to him. Zach picked up the minuscule bowl of tellurium. The amount was so small. It was mostly used to help strengthen an alloy mixture, which was exactly what he was making. He poured it into the mortar, picked up the pestle, and began to crush it into a finer dust. Zach was focused on his work, not paying attention to whether or not anyone had come in. The alchemy labs were empty aside from him today, and he sometimes enjoyed working in the silence. Having company was always nice, though.
