Summary; Lucy's hungry and is going to start nomming on people now. Repercussions to follow
Log;

It takes Lucy a moment to orient herself. Everything is coated in blood and pain and shock makes her whirl. She can't think. She can't comprehend what happened. Hunger eats away at shock so that it over rides everything and sends her hunting. She's not very good at it and she probably looks a bit like a drunk, raving lunatic tearing through town looking for something to satisfy her hunger. Any~~one~~thing will do.

[ooc: Because I'm forced to be uber organized this weekend. I'm putting up threads for Chris and Menolly then one for the Master & Rido.]

The scent of blood had greeted him as he descended from his nightly stroll through the tunnels of the Underground. Human blood, such a delicious aroma, and so out of place. So it was with a natural curiosity that he'd follow it, just like a shark would hone in on a single drop of blood in the water.

But what he hadn't expected was to hear the faint sound of the Master's plaything calling out his name in the distance.

Rido tilted his head, muttering softly under his breath. "Wandering off again where you shouldn't be?" His mouth pressed into a slight frown and he shook his head, resolving to suggest ways for his Favourite to better control his women.

The vampire shoved his hands deeply into the pockets of his long black coat as he casually made his way to the errant Lucy. The Master would owe him for this...

Lucy cocks her head, listening. She realizes she can smell and feel so much more. It's this feeling she follows, coming up on Rido. She doesn't sneak though. She wants him to be aware she's there. She needs it even.

"Lord Rido?"

His steps slowed, having her clear in his field of vision, and he couldn't help but to smile. "My, how polite~."

It was a far cry from the last time they'd spoken when she seemed to have some sort of death wish. And Rido would have kindly granted her that, if not for the delayed message that his Favourite had had delivered at the last moment.

Better late than never.

"Why are you down here, Lucy..."

Well you know...

Lucy was scared before and when she's scared she tends to do things like be a smart mouth. It's all about fear and right now she's scared of herself more than she is of Rido. In fact oddly enough right now Rido is comforting and some of her fear over what's happened to her is leaking away in his presence.

"I...I think I killed two people. Plus I think I'm having dental issues. Of the fangy kind. If I go home I might end up biting the Master and I like his teeth the way they are and I figured I'm less likely to bite you. Or...you know I won't care as much if I bite you. Probably also it wouldn't have the same effect."

More respectful? Yes. Less honest? No.

The Pureblood's expression sobered as he listened quietly to her explanation. Even though the stage on which they met was the same as the last time, Lucy was anything if the same as he remembered. At least physically.

Unamused at her exact choice in words, he gazed at her with feigned disinterest. ".... why should I care if you kill people."

"Because if you don't help me, I'll probably go home. Bite the Master and kill him," Lucy responds. She's not entirely sure that she can kill the Master or turn him into a vampire but she wasn't betting against it.

How bothersome.

Lucy was right that such a thing would annoy him, if not just for the fact that the Master's blood might be tainted from being transformed into one of the City Dead. And such delicious blood too...

The Pureblood paused, mulling over the pros and cons of involving himself in this matter, and with a sigh, resolved himself to being helpful.

"So, what? You expect me to take you home with me? To look after you? Feed you so you don't attack anyone again?"

Lucy thought about Rido's 'offer'. She wanted to make certain that she knew as much as possible what she was getting into. She had examined her options before coming to search out Rido.

"Basically...yes."

The vampire allowed for the silence to thicken for a few minutes before finally giving a slight shrug of his shoulders.

"You're a lucky thing. Don't abuse my 'hospitality'."

"It's a theme with me. The lucky. Although really it wasn't that lucky that I got bit," Lucy answered. "I'm a good house guest. At least I was before I got turned into whatever. I make the bed, wash dishes and set the table."

Turning on his heel, he walked towards the passage that would lead back home. He didn't bother to raise his voice as he spoke to the girl behind him. Her vampiric hearing should be more than enough to pick up his every word.

"You make it sound like what happened was a bad thing. The things in this city should be so lucky to be elevated to such a state."

Lucy follows behind Rido almost obediently.

"Sorry if it takes me a little while to make the transition from sucking coffee to sucking down blood," she responds.

"You're thinking too much." He almost smiled at his statement, amused at the irony. But he was being 'nice', far more for the Master than the girl tailing behind him down the dark Underground corridor that led to his lair.

"I suppose I need to make a call on your behalf though. So he won't worry. ~~If he'd worry...~~" His hand slid noiselessly into the breast pocket of his coat, and he switched on his network device. "Anything you don't want me to tell him~?

Lucy shakes her head at Rido's question. "I haven't talked to him since...He's probably worried but there was the whole biting thing and I couldn't go back there but no...you can tell him anything."

Rido's mouth quirked slightly as he focused his attention on the transmitter in his hand. As of late, all of his attention had been with various members of the Police force and it struck the Pureblood that perhaps his friend might need some reminding that he was still very much around.

"Master~... are you listening? I have something of yours~. Or maybe I should say I'm 'taking' something of yours. I thought you'd like to know."

If that didn't get his attention, nothing else would~.

At not even quite early morning anymore, the Master had been pacing the path from his flat to Lucy's workplace and Rido's announcement to him pinged him right away. Still somewhat wary, he responded soon after, already heading off towards the Underground and Rido's home.

"Taking something. Really."

Lucy follows close to R, gnawing a hole almost literally in her bottom lip. She sucks at the blood on her bottom lip as she listens to Rido and the Master's conversation. She's worried about being around Rido. She's worried about the Master's reaction. She's worried about her reaction to the Master and on top of it all she's trying not to think about how she's getting hungry. Again

The Pureblood took an abrupt turn, leading Lucy into a darkened recess where a tall ornate door stood. Still, his attention was on the voice of the man on the other end of the line. And he trusted that his unexpected ward would be obedient enough to not stray off when his attention was on more important matters.

"You sound 'concerned~'." It was enough to put a smile on his face as he turned a key in the door and swung it wide open. "Don't be. I'll take care of 'things' from here."

Rido suppressed the urge to chuckle as he flicked the communicator off. The Master would be here soon enough, there was no need to keep the conversation so impersonal. Glancing back at Lucy, he led the way inside, and with a casual ease, he slid out of his long coat and tossed it over the arm of a brocade chair.

"Welcome to my 'home away from home', Lucy~. Why don't you make yourself comfortable..."

After living there for a month, the Master knew perfectly well where Rido's home was. And he was speeding up gradually as he went, running as fast as he could to reach Rido and Lucy. What was the purpose of that deliberately threatening-sounding announcement? Probably to make him hurry, but as for the precise meaning...well, it was worth speeding up for. Rido shouldn't be allowed to make a fool of him.

Making herself comfortable means more pacing. There really isn't a comfortable for Lucy right now. Hunger and guilt are gnawing in her stomach. Hunger is eating guilt and she's envisioning ways she could just leave and grab a snack ~~kid~~. She tugs on her hair and nibbles on her bottom lip and tries to distract herself by taking everything in.

"You've got a nice house. My Mom would love those chairs." My Mom who probably tastes like minit juleps and vanilla. The horror of realizing she's actually considering biting her Mom if she were there will hit her later.

In truth, Rido was merely waiting. Waiting for the Master to arrive and add a bit of excitement in the evening.

He wouldn't have long to wait.

A small smile graced his lips, and he turned and dropped easily into the comfort of a nearby couch. He could see the hunger devouring her... it was lovely to behold.

Tilting his head, he held out his hand. "Lucy~... why don't you come sit with me."

He does have to shoot a monster that is standing in his way on the way there, but otherwise, his path to Rido's door is unobstructed. Rido's door which is still open. The Master slows down and strides in through it to fold his arms and stand just inside the room.

"What exactly is going on?"

Edited 2010-07-15 17:38 (UTC)

Rido still gives Lucy the creeps. She still remembers how he scared her in the alley--it would be hard not to as she still has nightmares about it occasionally--but now that she's a vampire there's also a sense of awe and a need to obey and please him. She hesitates when he makes his offer but she can't hesitate for long.

The Master comes in when Lucy is over half way to Rido and his perch. The hunger comes over her, hot and hard. She can't think, can't see but she can smell his blood and hear the double beat of his hearts. She lunges at him, intent on drinking his blood. It doesn't occur to her that it might kill him; that it will infect him or that it would be bad for their relationship. All she cares about is his blood.

A moment too soon. But Rido was nonetheless pleased to have the Master once more in his home. Lucy's reaction was to be expected, so it didn't surprise him in the slightest bit to see her course abruptly turn towards the enticing morsel standing ~~angrily~~ in the doorway.

Still, it was something he could not allow.

The Pureblood's body was a blur of motion as he launched himself to intercept Lucy's attack. If the Master didn't get his answer from this, then Rido had greatly misjudged the man's intelligence.

Yellow eyes. Teeth. The Master instinctively took one step backwards, an arm up to block her and his other hand reaching into his pocket already. He relaxed somewhat as Rido did the intercepting for him but looked more closely at Lucy, sniffing slightly. She wasn't alive. Undead.

So, there wasn't all that much he could do if it were true, but he felt the need to ask all the same, his expression grim. "Were you responsible for this?"
