Pandora's Dream Ic

[Mysterious Old Guy]

"Dragon!? Oh, you mean the dragon Chief Grok's living with! I wouldn't know! I'm from a Chieftain Lork's tribe!" The goblin replied in a squeaky voice. He flinched away from the fireball.

Mythrandir had the female Avian's new cage built next to his sleeping place. He liked to hear the distressed cries of her screaming. "Why are you doing this?!" She cried out. "Because, snack, I was attacked earlier, and I have my right to take at least one person for each attack. I disdained to carry your friend, so I simply bit off one of his wings. It was his complete lack of luck that made him die. You are entertainment. Or a snack. Dance, tell a story, perform a magic trick, or sit and wail and wait to be eaten. Choose an option. "

Peter looked at the Goblin, "OK then wrong tribe, just get the crap out of here...wait in fact tell you what carry a message to your leader...me and a few people are going to either move dragon out of said area either by violence or reason...unfortunately the former i fear will come into play... I know you people love clan violence this may in fact be to your advantage if you do some scouting...it would greatly help us and think less competition around the area."
Peter put the goblin down and handed him a few bucks "For the trouble and the delivery of the message, deliver the Intel to a box outside this address if your chief accepts."

Balika hung up his phone. He had been calling in soldiers since he had seen the Dragon. He had about fifty of his toughs with him, a fairly large number, though most of them were his mid-level men. Ones he could trust, but still new enough that their loss wouldn't be catastrophic. "You're staying here tonight. We may need to hunt the beast that has just entered my city. I hope that S.W.A.T. deals with it soon. If they kill it, we don't have to worry. If they lose we're going to try and bargain with the beast." The assembled men nodded, and several of them tiredly left to sleep in the guest rooms of the mansion. Others went to hang out around the grounds. Balika ran the scenarios through his head again. There was much to gain here, and much to lose. Sacrifices would be made, but he hated pointless waste almost more than disloyalty to him. He realized that he had erred in one aspect. The police teams were now more divided. He had no eyes or ears in S.W.A.T. but he intended to rectify this and soon.

[Mysterious Old Guy]

"Ok, human. But why are you attacking the dragon? It is only retaliating. I heard that he has been attacked twice already." The goblin said.

[Luca]

Luca sat at his desk of his home and buisness. The shop filled with odd bits an ends, really old and a few items that would interest those in the paranormal. However it seemed though that he never had a customer, as people wondered how he's still in buisness, which meant a lot of free time was on his hands.

Mirasuke, his pet Husky, lay in her own little dog bed as Luca played with a Tarot Deck. Luca had spent most of his using these and had become wiz at it. He layed a few cards down at random. the cards were pretty clear with what it meant: A friend is tempted to Lust. "Well, Mira, looks like it Cassy's feeding time, and Tirla's the candidate."

The husky only picked up te word 'feeding' and trotted to Luca and put her two front paws on the desk. Luca smile and patted her. "Alright, Alright." He took off his glasses to reveal glowing eyes, and motioned to the dog food bag. It lifted up and poured part of its contents into the bowl nearby, then found it's way back to its first position Luca put his glasses back on. "Well, Mira. Dig in." The husky ran down to the andstarted eating as Luca picked up the set and started playing some more.

Peter looked at the Golbin. "we're not trying to kill it, but we don't want a dragon burning destroying kidnaping ETC. we don't know what the hell it will do so reasoning with it seems best if anyone attacked it first, then i'm sorry nothing i can do about that...we jsut want to see what it wants, and muke sure it dosn't BBQ everyone within a 50 mile radius."

[Mysterious Old Guy]

The goblin nodded and said in its squeaky voice. "Alright, but be careful, it already ate a human paladin, along with a red and white mage." The goblin scurried off to report to its chief.

Rachel finished showering and started drying off her hair. Things were going too fast..but damn, she was gonna say hi to a dragon! That would be awesome. She wrapped the towel around herself and gathered up her clothes before walking into the main room. She'd have to figure out some way of meeting up with Charles that didn't make her want to eat him, though. Why did the nice hot guy have to have that effect, anyways? She leaned up against the wall for a bit, gathering her thoughts.

((And, of course, this is the exact perfect moment for Alex to show up.))

[Pyromancer]

Alex finished looking over the documents, finding everything in order. He walked over to another small room off from his workroom and tossed his trenchcoat onto the bed. He took a moment to rub his eyes and go over all that had happened. First I assassinate a drug-dealing mage, then I get a roommate. Then I get caught up in a three-way firefight between Rachel and me, the SWAT, and a necromantic black mage. I engage two black magi in an attempt at a philisophical discussion that ends in me shooting at them and them both escaping. Then I meet a paladin, admit what I do for a living to my roommate, and run out to get my bullets only to have a dragon move into town. After I get home I find a SWAT sniper in my living room, my roommate almost feeds on him, and I wind up tipping the police off on a new drug. Not to mention that tomorrow morning I have to run out with my roommate, a red mage, and a paladin to either fight or reason with the dragon. He sighed and started downstairs. I really need a drink.

He came downstairs to see Rachel leaning against a wall wearing nothing but a towel. He averted his eyes and face from her as he went into the kitchen and got an IV bag of blood. The last thing he needed was to make a worse impression on his new roommate as he undoubtedly already did. "Penny for your thoughts, Rach?"

[Arachnion As Captain Jack]

Rachel drew the towel closer around herself when Alex showed up.
"..well, my life seems to be slowly sliding into chaos. I've never tried to feed on someone without asking first. And..one of the good things about working at the hospital was that I could get blood to drink for free. But that's over now."
Her eyes fell on the bag of blood he was holding.
"..you keep those in the fridge, right?"

[Pyromancer]

Alex jerked his thumb at the large freezer against one wall ((Yeah, I know, I said cooler the first time. I actually meant freezer)). "They're in there. I have all different blood types if you prefer a particular one." He took a drink from the blood bag. "It sounds like you're not feeding enough. Based on my own experience, a vampire needs about a body's-worth of blood every couple of days. The reason you almost fed on Charles is that your body's forcing you into autopilot, trying to get you to feed." He took another drink. "Thankfully, I have a couple of friends at the blood bank who keep me well-supplied."

He sat down in the recliner, being careful not to look at Rachel more than passing glimpses. He then remembered what he wanted to ask her. "You wouldn't happen to know how to play a strategy game on a computer, would you Rach?"

[Kilroywuzheere]

Nergal looked at Tanya, taking her in. Attractive... And she was buying him a drink. Feh, it had been a long time since someone else's presence hadn't pissed him off. "Whatever, I couldn't give half a [censored] about your name," he said, smiling slightly. Seemed despite her... calming effect, he still had his apathy and anti socialism. At least it wasn't an about face. He picked up his drink, taking a sip. If this continued, he might just get his [censored] drunk... which was probably a bad idea. No more drinks for Nergal.

[Optix]

Viral woke up to a beeping noise. She hadn't even realised she'd fallen alseep.
She looked for the source of the sound, only to find that it was coming from her laptop. She'd gotten an email while she was asleep.
She slowly got up and went over to her laptop. She clicked on the email and began reading it.
One of her old friends was in town and wanted to meet up with her at some old hotel.
Weird. It seemed unlikely that anybody would want to meet in an old hotel but she shrugged and went to go get changed into someting less... evil.

[Arachnion As Captain Jack]

Rachel frowned at his blood bank comment.
"Other people need that blood, you know. And..that's way more than I would have guessed." Damn..does the universe hate us?

She smiled at the games question and sat down against the wall.
"..Is that supposed to be some kind of weird euphemism? Honstely, I didn't know you had a sense of humor.." Good god he had better say no..I hope he says no..I mean, he seems like a nice guy...
"..But yeah, I guess I do. What game?"

[Der Kojote]

Peter looked as the golbin went off and took to the skies he looked to the moutins to see if the dragon was comming, it didn't show up. he landed outside his house and slid inside he took a shower and hit the sack. jacob looked at him with his beadie little eyes. "well man ommorow i fight a dragon...or try to reason with it...fun well g'd night." he rolled over and closed his eyes.
