It didn't seem to want to end, this exhileration. It was something mortals would take for granted, he was sure. Just the simple process of how the day progressed, from sunrise to the mid-morning point he was at. He might have thought it would wear off, but it hadn't. And part of him very much expected that it was all going to end any second, that the magical protection Dahak had given him would wear off, and he'd be incinerated instantly. Every moment, he expected this to happen, and it led a new sort of frenzy to his movements.

He had Max slung over his shoulder, and the blood of the alien had driven this frenzy to whole new levels. He was in the sun, he was full of alien blood, and he felt at that moment like he was never, ever going to let Max go. The whole experience, all of it mashed together, was affecting him, driving him more than a little insane.

Of course, he still had one more to find. A girl, he'd seen her. Dahak had shown her to him. He set off to find her, and this time, he brought a couple of the lizard creatures with him. After all, he wasn't about to let Max go, and what if he needed someone to carry this girl? He searched through the resort, which didn't take long when one could move as fast as a vampire can, and stopped when he saw something odd. Pieces of random stuff, garbage really, lay haphazardly about. What was a junkyard doing here?

Violet always had a curious nature when it came to both science and life around her. Being on the run for so long had made her a bit more of a hermit but she had been trying to be a bit more social. For the younger girl this was a tiny first step in the right direction.

She scanned the building and explained,"Old habit of mine since I understand science and do see things as possible future projects". The simple skirt and sweater set off her dark hair and pale skin as they walked.

"What part of the city?" she asked. "To be truthful I only saw most of the major places but wanted to explore some of the smaller areas but time was a bit of a factor" trying to remember the name of one area from an old book of her brother's. She made sure the little kit was still around one shoulder as they walked.

The vampire nodded thoughtfully in response to her explanations, and he pushed open the door and stepped inside. He was still holding her hand. The spa interested him, which is why he'd picked it. These mortals all had such an obsession with looking beautiful, which Armand didn't get. But then, he didn't have to do any work at all to look as he did. Still, it was an odd phenomenon, and he didn't understand at all.

Soft, relaxing music tinkled, appearing to originate from everywhere and nowhere all at once. There seemed to be water features everywhere, and it was just such a different world. The sort of spa that only the very rich on Earth could afford. Armand loved it for it's strangeness.

Still hand-in-hand with the girl, with the lizards following him, he pushed open a door. A sudden surge of strength and he flung the girl into the room, shutting the door. It locked automatically. A light came on, but it was dull and red, and didn't illuminate much. Still, an stone alter was clear in one corner, covered in black candles. There wasn't much else to the room.

"Now that was some landing!" Violet had felt the leather kit cushion her fall. She fished the little flashlight out and went to exploring, just in case she needed to pull her little save the day bit before this was all done.

"Curious" she observed as she worked her way around the room. But now she had more questions and not many answers. "Stop and think" she decided as she sat down and went to work on possible options.

(I think we can call Violet kidnapped now).

Once in the room, he settled down, still holding the alien boy on his lap. Occasionally, he stroked his hair, his face, in a very creepy way that probably wouldn't be appreciated if he was awake. He watched in amusement as the girl went around peering at things.

Maybe he should take her kit away.

On second thought, no. He wouldn't. It amused him to let her have it. Anyway, what could she do? Soon, too soon for her to figure anything out, everything would happen. It was amusing to watch her scurry around, anyway.

[I'm putting a complete tag on this!]
