Light of May ::: an original roleplay

Who: Alejandro and Ava
When: Evening, around 9 pm
Where: Dive bar, Anywhere But Here

After a brief dinner and a very frustrating call from a telemarketer who kept insisting to speak to her 'mommy' or 'daddy' and refused to heed her requests to be put on the do not contact list, Ava decided she was in desperate need of a drink. As she had not yet had time to stock the bar area in her apartment, that only left going out. She'd finally gotten rid of the telemarketer by explaining very clearly that she was over a century old and if the call was not ended immediately, the unfortunate salesman would find himself on the business end of both fangs before the night was out. She was still contemplating doing just that.

She'd taken a cab and told him to find a bar, and either the cabbie was a supernatural himself or he was just smart and had seen something in her eyes that warned him against arguing. She'd dressed for going out, as she'd still planned on stopping by Heme that night, and was in a rather nice cocktail dress - a black trapeze dress with a collar that was tight around her throat and left her shoulders bare, the fabric a pleated chiffon that didn't require one to have curves to look sleek. Completing the ensemble was a simple pair of black peep-toe pumps (custom made, as they didn't make heels of that variety in children's sizes.) It was an oddly sophisticated look for what appeared to be a small girl, but Ava didn't care. The vampires at Heme would understand. More or less.

( Only without much liking. )

Who: Ezra and Ava
Where: Cherryblossom Place, Ava's apartment
When: Late afternoon

The only time one was at least relatively certain to find a vampire at home was during the day. The only time it was relatively certain to find a vampire home and not asleep was shortly before sundown. So, though Ezra had received notice of the new Gabriel House Elohim vampire's fairly recent arrival in town at midday, he waited until after five in the afternoon to visit. It was only proper to introduce himself to a potential employer, after all.

Dressed incongruously in black slacks and buttondown with a long, brown, old-fashioned duster that looked like it belonged in the old West, Ezra took the elevator to the fancy apartment she had taken out at the Cherryblossom Place. As he was fairly new to Gabriel House-- and as he hadn't paid any attention to the media, so hadn't seen any of her movies-- he didn't recognize her name. But that was all right. He knew how to be polite to anyone, whether he meant it or not. He headed down the hallway, two invisible spirits following along and silently marveling at the décor, and rapped lightly on her door when he reached it.

( Commence creepiness. )
