Log:

The ultimatum that had been broadcast to the City at large both amused and annoyed Dracula. He rather enjoyed the reactions displayed by several residents so far, but he chafed at the idea that he should owe others anything for any purpose, save the deal he had made to obtain eternal life.

Despite the looming deadline, Dracula had other business to attend to. He required servants in this place, and a particular young man had attracted his attention. The vampire had hopes that the boy would be useful.

Katou had already forgotten about the private conversation on the network he had with Dracula. It had been cryptic and kind of confusing and Katou rarely retained such things in his memory. So, he saw no danger in going out to buy a pack of cigarettes, hell maybe he'd hit Automatica if the mood struck him. Once he had the cigarettes in his possesion he decided maybe he would go to Automatica.

He took a quick look at his surroundings and figured out that if he cut through an alley or two he'd get to the club pretty quick and set out that way through one of The City's many back alleys. After all, who was old fashioned enough to jump someone in a dark alley. That only happened in horror movies after all.

Dracula had no such sentiments. He had no trouble locating Katou, or slipping into the alley before him. Mist often went unnoticed when spread thin enough. The vampire materialized in the deepest shadows, then stepped forward just enough for the boy to take notice of his presence.

Katou had been about halfway through the alley when his senses had pricked, the bit of astral power he had alerting him to Dracula's prescense before the rest of his senses registered it. He turned, vaguely recognizing him as someone he'd talked to on the network but he couldn't remember ever getting his name.

But still, it was a dark alley and Katou was slightly wary. "You need somethin'?"

"Only a few moments of your time," Dracula replied with a gracious smile that nevertheless kept his fangs from sight. "We spoke not so long ago. I offered to show you what power is."

"Oh, you were that guy." Katou said, the conversation coming to him. He remembered how creepy it had sounded, but not enough to warrant too much worry.

"So, what do ya mean by 'showing me power'?" Katou asked, mostly out of boredom, he didn't really think Dracula was a real threat yet. Just a weirdo.

Dracula's smile widened, exposing his fangs.

"This."

The vampire had Katou pinned to the wall before he could move, one clawed hand around his throat. His other was raised to his lips, and he carefully bit into the pad of his thumb. Dracula forced the bleeding digit past Katou's lips.

"What the fu-"

Before Katou could say anymore in reaction to Dracula showing his fangs he was against the wall, the apparently very sharp claws in his throat. Before anymore questions could be asked the digit was in his mouth and the bitter taste of copper and salt filled his mouth. Before he could even stop the reaction he'd swallowed the blood that was already in his mouth before attempting to bite down on Dracula's thumb.

There was power in Dracula's blood, as there was in any vampire's. This exchange was minimal. Katou would be subject to Dracula's control, but the connection would only work one way.

"You are mine. You will serve my purposes in this place. Perform your tasks well, and you will be rewarded. You will be granted the strength you lack."

Katou wiped some blood that had trickled onto his chin away and glared at Dracula. What was it with people choosing him to be their puppets?! First Rosiel and then Enra-O. And now this guy.

"So I'm your servant?!" Katou asked, the anger in his tone clear.

"Yes." Dracula drew back, satisfied with his choice. The boy might be difficult, but his very obstinacy was part of what the vampire fond appealing. "You have a choice. You may do as I ask willingly, or you may fight and be forced into slavery. It's up to you ... Of course, one option will bring more rewards than the other."
