\Misery Loves It's Company\, open

[Adalia Wolf]

Adalia had just been walking. Not realy having a destination she just needed something to do for the time being, that wasn't hanging out at the same club she worked at. Sure she loved going out and having fun she just wasn't in the mood to stand there while some randome guy, attractive as he was, handing out drugs at her bar. She was done with that. So once she'd gotten off her shift she bailed and just started walking with no place to go and no one to see.

She was still dressed in her barista best, a jean skirt with a studded belt, and a sleveless black shirt with matching braclet. But no outlit of hers was compleat without her trusty pair of 'hair accesories' that doubled as leathal weapons. Though they really did go well with any outfit. It was a warm night so she'd gone with just a light black jacket that really wouldn't kep her warm anyways. Her boots clicked on the ground as she kept walking. Why she'd unded up there she didn't know but it seemed like a nice place to walk to. Maybe she'd meet someone new. Or someone that she didn't actually want to me. Either way she'd have someone to talk to, or blow off. It would be a perfect night.

Reaching into her pocket she pulled out her pack of ciggs and pulled one out and put it between her lips and reached for her lighter. Covering the lighter from the wind she tried to get it to light. Nothing. "Damn it." She shook it by her ear and it was empty. "That sucks." She threw it in a trashcan and pulled the ciggeret out of her mouth. "Must be a sign I really need to quit." She pulled her pack back out and put the cig back in it. "To bad it will probubly never happen." She said to herself as she slipped the pack back into her pocket.

[Callic Masters]

-- A simple stab to the heart is all it had taken, she had died in his arms with little pain. Her death had ben necceserry, she had upset the balance and her death would ensured that Callic would stay alive for at least a little bit longer. Callic had left the body where it had fallen, wanting to put as much distance as possible between him and the body, unwilling to stay around it any longer than he had to. After killing her Callic took back the vial he had given her, the Black Crystal that could have made his life that little much more difficult. After dumping his blood stained jacket in a trashcan Callic starts on his way back to his apartment.

-- Leaning against a wall he takes out the glass vial, slowly his fingers close around it and he crushes it, glass shards cutting into his fingers. He winces a little as the glass cuts, opening his hand and turning it upside down to drop the glass shards and black powder to the ground. Slowly the cuts heal, the blood wiped off onto the black material of his jeans. Sighing softly Callic looks down at the ground. "Valentine you'll be the death of me".

(sorry for crapness was rushed)

[Adalia Wolf]

(Its ok don't worry about it mines rushed too )

Adalia couldn't help but feel like there was someone a head of her on the street but she tried to ignore the feeling. She wasn't in the mood to be on edge about something that probubly wasn't there. Even if it was she'd be fine. Hopefully. As she went forward she did notice someone standing or more leaning against a building infront of her. Thats when she noticed who he was. The drug dealer from her club. "What didn't like today's batch?" She said as she walked by. "I mean in all honesty shouldn't you be out selling those to teenage girls or something?"

She'd had enough of this guy durring work and the one time she desides to leave to not have to see him where is he but right there on the street. It just wasn't fair. I thought his name was Valentine. Maybe its just a cover name or something like that. She stopped walking and turned back around. "Do you have a lighter?" Whats the harm in asking said dealer if he had a lighter? It would make it easier to smoke then to have to find an open store and buy one.

[Callic Masters]

"Shouldnt you be out selling those to teenage girls or something?". Callic looks up at Adalia, his violet eyes turning a dark shade of red for a moment, his alter ego threatening to come through. "I wouldn't sell to teenage girls, they don't understand what it is, what it does to them. I'm not some mindless monster who'll sell to anyone that gives a price... I have morels and standards". "You look at me and see what you expect to see; a lowlife selling to the desperate and powerless. I am not that, I give warning I give understanding". His words to Adalia may sound like nonense ramblings. To Callic every words he says is carefully thought out, said in just the right way to keep himself from getting into any trouble.

"Do you have a lighter?". He laughs, "First you scorn me, then you ask me for help. But since I am a forgiving individual I will oblige and give you what you ask". From out of a pocket Callic takes out a silver zippo lighter and holds it out to Adalia. ""What do you care if I sell my 'drug'. It wont affect you, and believe it me there are more dangerous ones out there, it could be said that mine is infact the safest, with all the ups and none of the downs".

[Adalia Wolf]

Adalia listened to Callic and laughed. "They don't know what to do with it? Where have you been, teenagers do know what drugs do to them and they don't care." She rolled her eyes it was like he was deffending being a drug dealer by saying he had morals. "Its not like I can do anything about it I just don't like seeing anyone get all exited to see you at the bar. Its pointless to have morals if you sell drugs to anyone in a crowded place."

Reacign back into her pocket she pulled her pack back out slipping one cig out and putting it back between her lips and taking the lighter from Callic. "Thank you." After she lit it she handed him the lighter back. "I only care because I work where you sell it." She paused. "How do you have all the ups and none of the downs? Isn't that kinda impossible?" She took a hit and slowly blew out the smoke. "Oh do you want one?"

[Callic Masters]

"Teenagers do kw what drugs do to them and they don't care".Callic just smiles. "There you go thinking everything is so simple and straitforward, it confuses me how you can live your lives in a state of perpetual denial. Dening that there's something just beneath the surface something that shouldn't be there. You think that you've figured everything out in this world". "It's pointless to have morals if you sell drugs to anyone in a crowded place". "I make no apologies for the things that I have done, all those things I've done were necceserry for me to continue living. And I don't sell to teenagers, I only sell to those that can pay my price- the rich and spoilt of this tow; they have the money and none of the denial".

"How can it have all the ups and none of the downs? Isn't that kinda impossible?". "I am not at liberty to divulge the workings of Black Crystal. All I will tell you is that it's like nothing you've ever seen or tasted, and probably never will.. been such an upstanding member of society". "Do you want one?. Smoking is a habit Callic detests, but Valentine adores it for the fact that it can't do him any damage or kill him, only adding to his god-complex and feeling of invincibility. With a small smile he takes a cig' as it is offered letting it hang limply from his lips as he lights it. "Thankyou".

[Adalia Wolf]

"I don't live in denial." Adalia pointed out. She was so confused by the fact that this guy, a guy that sold druggs to anyone with the money for them, was talking about how he does whats nessicary. "Do you mind explaining to me how selling a drug- black crystal or whatever to anyone? I mean it doesn't even seem all that great." She listened to him talking about black crystal and raised an eyebrow it was like a sales pitch. "Are you trying to seel it to me? If so sorry its a no go I may smoke but I don't do anything else unless there's alcohol involved in some way."

"So just out of curiousity what is your name? I heard you earlier saying Valentine would be the death of you but I thought you were Valentine thats what I've heard people call you at least." She blew out a line of smoke away from Callic and dropped her cig before crushing it with her boot. "I'm Adalia by the way."

[Callic Masters]

"Do you mind explaining to me how selling a drug- black crystal or whatever to anyone? I mean it doesn't even seem all that great". "At first glance it may just appear as just a simple black powder, like dirt. But it's not the appearence that makes it so great, it's what it does..like most things in life looks can be deceiving. One little taste of this stuff will make you feel the wind on your skin as if each particle of air is hitting your body one by one, you can see the scars on the moon and secrets that hide in the darkness of the night". "Are you trying to seel it to me? If so sorry its a no go I may smoke but I don't do anything else unless there's alcohol involved in some way". "Selling it to you? No I'm not trying to do that. I only sell to those that are willing to take on the consequences of taking something like Black Crystal. I would never force someone into taking it". "You smoke and drink but you wont have anything to do with drugs". Callic smiles. "But then again I guess you could say that alcohol and ciggerates are drugs in a way, they're addictive".

"So just out of curiousity what is your name? I heard you earlier saying Valentine would be the death of you but I thought you were Valentine thats what I've heard people call you at least". "Oh yes, that. My name is Callic, but I do also go by the name of Valentine". His eyes close a little, when they open fully they have lightend a little in colour. "I am Valentine. The better half of Callic. I am the maker of Black Crystal. I am exactly what this town needs, I bring excitment and wounder, I bring the fantastical". Valentine laughs. Perhaps he would let this one go.

[Adalia Wolf]

“It sounds-” Adalia cut herself off. How did it sound? The way he made it seem if she didn’t have a fear of drugs she’d take it just to have that feeling. “like every druggies dream.” She finished. “What are the consequences I thought you said it had all the ups and none of the downs. In my opinion a consequence is a downer.” She laughed and patted her pocket before smiling at Callic. “They are addicting I’ve tried to quit a few times but once I get stressed its what I reach for. There are better things to be doing when I’m stressed but this is what I do.” She shrugged.

Adalia tilted her head to the side and watched Callic as he started talking about himself as Callic and then Valentine. It was a very odd thing for someone to do. “The better half? Well you look the same.” She looked him up and down and crossed her arms over her chest. “Still just as attractive and a little creepy but not too bad. My new question is how to you bring excitement and wonder? I haven’t felt either since we’ve been talking” She took a step closer to Callic or Valentine whoever he was and gave a cheeky grin. “So do something exiting. Or are you just all talk with no action?” She teased.

[Callic Masters]

“What are the consequences I thought you said it had all the ups and none of the downs. In my opinion a consequence is a downer". "True that Black Crystal can be addictive, but only if used in excess. You can't understand the consequences without understanding what Black Crystal is. It brings you up to the hights of the sky, it'll make you more than human. I can hear your heartbeat, I can hear your blood rushing through your veins and arteries. The only downer is knowing that you have to go back to been human, dull and boring. Back to been normal and ordinary". The main difference between Callic and Valentine is that Valentine isn't afraid to make people think that he could be something else, something other than human.“They are addicting I’ve tried to quit a few times but once I get stressed its what I reach for. There are better things to be doing when I’m stressed but this is what I do". Valentine shakes his head slowly. "To each their own right".

“The better half? Well you look the same". "I concider myself the better half, I'm all that he's ever wanted to be. He's weak, a coward hiding behind me from the cruelty of life and reality". "You're not getting it Adalia, I keep telling you that looks can be deceiving, what you see isn't always what you get". The better half? Well you look the same.” She looked him up and down and crossed her arms over her chest. “Still just as attractive and a little creepy but not too bad. My new question is how to you bring excitement and wonder? I haven’t felt either since we’ve been talking”. "Just a little creepy, well I'll have to work on that". "Attractive? I like that yes I like that alot". “So do something exiting. Or are you just all talk with no action?”. Valentine takes a step towards Adalia. "You want me to do something then do you". Valentine looks up at the sky, back at Adalia then vanishes for a brief moment before reappearing about seven meters away from her. "That may have not been very exciting for you, but that's just one of the few things that I can do". Suddenly he is back at her side, standing close to her. "See that rooftop. I could get up there no problem at all".

[Adalia Wolf]

There was something odd about Callic that Adalia just couldn’t put her finger on. He was different but she didn’t know how. The fact that he said he could hear her blood pumping and her heart beat was odd but exiting at the same time. “Well listen to it now because like you said it fades and you’ll just go back to being boring.” She couldn’t shake the feeling that there was something about Valentine that she didn’t know yet. That he was something more. “But if he hide’s he’ll never become stronger.” She pointed out.

“If looks are deceiving then I’m not so sure that you’re just playing with me with the whole two people thing. You’re another personality aren’t you. A part that’s stronger.” Adalia smiled. “Cocky too.” She looked at him as he took a step closer and suddenly he wasn’t there anymore. That made her jump and turn to where he’d gone. “Wow.” Then he was back next to her. “How did you do that?” She turned so she was facing him trying to figure out how someone could do that. When he mentioned the roof top she looked up at it. “Is all of this part of your drug or is it all you because I have a feeling there’s something about you you’re not telling me.” Her heart beat had quickend a little because of the shock/exitement of him being able to dissapear like that.

[Callic Masters]

“Well listen to it now because like you said it fades and you’ll just go back to being boring". "No, it never goes away for me, it's always there in the background. I can heart your breathing, your blood racing through your body, I can see every emotion on your face and know if you're lying to me or telling the truth". “But if he hide’s he’ll never become stronger". "Interestingly enough he doesn't seem to want strength. He blocks his mind off from me at times so I'm unable to know what he his thinking and feeling. But from what I've been able to learn he seems to just want peace and to be left alone. How someone could live like that is beyound me, it sounds to dull and useless".

"You’re another personality aren’t you. A part that’s stronger". "Yes. When he was twenty-two I think I emerged from the depths of his mind. I can't make him physically stronger only mentally. I am smarter, I know how to deal with life when it goes wrong" “How did you do that?” -- "Is all of this part of your drug or is it all you because I have a feeling there’s something about you you’re not telling me". "I don't know really, I don't know how it works only that I can. But you're right that it's not because of the drug. It's something I've been able to do for a while now. There is something about me Adalia that you do not know, and I'm not the only one that is like this. There are many like me. I am not like you Adalia, I'm something of a myth in some sense of the word. By your thinking I shouldn't be real". Would he get in trouble for telling someone about the existance of vampires? probably not, he does it in hopes that he might be able to covert someone into wanting to become one, and perhaps have them tell others. Valentine grins a little, hearing her heart beat faster. His eyes close halfway, listening to the sound of the blood been pumped. Valentine has never been any good at controlling himself when it comes to blood.

[Adalia Wolf]

“Well its not really hard to tell when I’m lying I’m not very good at hiding it. Plus I haven’t lied to you yet so its ok.” Adalia just looked at Callic or Valentine whoever he was with interest. “So an attractive skitso nice. Not someone you meet everyday.” She frowned hearing what he said about Callic. “Why can’t he have it? You have your fun he just goes and sits alone. Its only fair.” Unable to hold it in she laughed when he mentioned he shouldn’t be real. Someone like him shouldn’t be real no one should be attractive and crazy to her it just wasn’t that fair. “You know what Valentine- Or Callic whoever you are at the moment. I think you’re just messing with me.”

Adalia circled around him looking him up and down before stopping in front of him again. “Other then the split personality you seem pretty normal to me. I think the movement thing was a trick that you show all the girls. Makes you seem impressive. But I’ll humor you for a second.” She leaned against the building and grinned. “If you are something from a myth what are you? Plus there has to be a little more proof then just being able to run fast. Lost of people can run fast.”

[Callic Masters]

“Well its not really hard to tell when I’m lying I’m not very good at hiding it. Plus I haven’t lied to you yet so its ok". "No, you haven't lied to me yet tonight, which is quite decent of you. I find that there are far too many people lie these days". “Why can’t he have it? You have your fun he just goes and sits alone. Its only fair". "It's his choice and he's been like that for about a year or so now. Certain things have happened in his life and I guess he's just given up trying to do anything about it. Most of the time he just takes things as they come. I can't do anything about it though, I can't tell his mind what to do when he's in control, I can only make suggestions".

“You know what Valentine- Or Callic whoever you are at the moment. I think you’re just messing with me". Valentine shakes his head slowly. "Would I do that to you Adalia? You've been graceous and friendly towards me so it's only right that I act back in kind". Yes, he will let this one live, maybe even make sure that she has some kind of protection. "You've appealed to my softer side Adalia, which very few people hve been able to do". “Other then the split personality you seem pretty normal to me. I think the movement thing was a trick that you show all the girls. Makes you seem impressive. But I’ll humor you for a second"."I don't need cheap tricks to make myself seem impressive". “If you are something from a myth what are you? Plus there has to be a little more proof then just being able to run fast. Lost of people can run fast.". "What am I? I am Nosferatu, Dracula, the undead, the damned, blood sucker. I am vampire". He turns around to face Adalia. "Watch closely". Valentine keeps his eyes wide and slowly his pale pink irises start to change colour to dark red then pure black. "How's this for proof?".

[Adalia Wolf]

Adalia nodded. She couldn’t agree more. People lied too much sometimes it was like it was all everyone could do nowadays. “It makes me feel bad for him. Someone shouldn’t be like that all the time.” She actually felt bad for him because of the way Valentine was describing him. “So if he knows what’s going on when you’re in control I don’t think he’s going to be very happy that we’re talking about him.” She couldn’t help but smile when he told her she appealed to his softer side. Though she didn’t like the job he did the person was a different story. Once she got to know him he really wasn’t that bad.

She couldn’t help but laugh when he said he was a vampire. It was just funny to hear him say it. “Yeah right Valentine. You’re a vampire.” She pushed off the wall and started to walk closer to him when he turned around. Seeing his eyes chance she was against the wall again. “Did you really just do that?” Scared wasn’t the right word to describe her, she was more shocked then anything else. But there was a little fear there. “You really are a vampire.” She took a step closer to him and just looked at his eyes. It was amazing to see something like that. She kept taking deep breaths trying to slow her faster beating heartbeat. “So you have teeth?” Her voice was low when she took her gaze away from his eyes. She was hoping that if he did have pointed teeth he wouldn’t use them on her.
