voice;

[nosympathy]

[The voice that comes over the device isn't nearly as confident, or steady, as it usually is. As much as she loves a good fight, a certain dietary lack is finally taking its toll along with all the spent energy.]

So as much as I enjoy the...options available via the Underground I'm in need of something a bit more...reliable.

[Cleaner, safer, trustworthy...

There's a long pause as she tries to convince herself this really isn't that hard or dangerous since she's not at home and no one here has ever heard of a Lesser other than from her.]

Shit.

I'm in need of a volunteer blood donor of a particular type.

[And another pause.]

Vampire.

Male.

[And with that she's disconnecting from the network because that was the most pathetic point in her life.]

Comments

[nosympathy]

I didn't mean you. [Although really...] That there aren't too many options here. My kind are born not created.

[council_king]

Is that so. And you are what exactly?

[nosympathy]

Depends on who you ask.

[The saying goes even a drop of symphath blood makes you a symphath...still she was raised by vampires.]

[council_king]

I was asking you. [Purebloods are not accustomed to having to ask twice, but it's not been an uncommon experience here in this place.]

[nosympathy]

Vampire.

[council_king]

... vampire born. Well, well~. How... refreshing.

[nosympathy]

Think so do you? Seems unusual to everyone else around here.

[council_king]

Does it matter...

[nosympathy]

Not really. The opinions of others never really mattered to me much.

[council_king]

That's a start.

[nosympathy]

[Color her confused as hell; what the fuck is he going on about?]

A start to what?

[council_king]

Keeping my attention. What's your name?

[nosympathy]

Xhex. And who are you that I should care?

[council_king]

A Pureblood. And you should watch that tongue of yours.

[nosympathy]

Pureblood...

[The one Karl mentioned, damn why didn't the idiot just say that in the first place instead of playing games?

There's a long moment where she stops to bite her tongue and words; she's a fighter not a diplomat.]

Please accept my apologies for my...ignorance.

[council_king]

Good.

[Because if it's one thing Rido likes... it's a game~.]

Now, tell me about yourself. I'm curious to hear more...

[nosympathy]

[Typical.]

What do you want to know?

[council_king]

Everything... until I say stop.

[nosympathy]

My name is Xhex, Xhexiana. My mother was the Princeps Council leahdyre's daughter. I work in a night club called ZeroSum as the head of security...

[council_king]

And your people, your society...

[nosympathy]

I'm not sure what you mean. We have a king, sort of, but the ones who think they're in charge are the Council.

[council_king]

Is that so.

And... what's your level. What, if anything, can you do?

[nosympathy]

Level?

What can I do...[there's a definite pause before she answers] same thing anyone can. I'm stronger and faster than most humans, I can dematerialize as long as I'm not surrounded by lead...

[council_king]

Level of purity. Anything else?

[nosympathy]

[Okay she has to laugh at that, missing the point he's aiming for.]

I'm far from pure.
