Joc walks down the steps carefully as to not make a sound incase the intruder was dangerous. Her fangs retracted slightly as the fool her opponent should the worst happen

Cat sense suddenly that the other person is a vampire. She straightens up and calls out. "Hello?..... I didn't know anyone lived in this house....."

Joc let out a sigh of relief both knowing the other was a vampire and that they seemed harmless enough at the moment. She blindly reached for a small light switch that illuminated the stairway dimly, casting an eerie glow about the steps.

"Hello..."

Cat smiles. "I'm new in town..... You the only vampire here?..... Or do I smell another one?..." Her smile turns to a grin.....

"You smell Derrick, he is upstairs asleep." She smiled before taking a few steps more so that she stood before cat, auburn hair tied away from her face and hanging long over her shoulder and down her front, glittering green eyes meeting Cat's

"Not many of us around town is there"

Cat shrugs. "Oh, I've sensed a few here an' there..... But you seem to be one of the only civilized ones so far...." Her ice-blue eyes meet the other vampire's eyes fiercely and without fear, and with only a tiny margin of respect......

"I thank you for that, we have not seen another in our kind for many years." Joc sighed before meeting the others gaze once more.

"Care to talk over a drink? Or would you rather speak on the stairs"

Cat smiles in thanks. "I drink would be nice..... Could you spare a place to sleep, as well?.... That's one thing I was looking for, besides things to raid...." She grins wickedly up at her new 'friend'.....

"Of course you can stay as long as you like, two vampires cannot stay in so big a home without getting bored. It will be nice to have a fresh face here..." Joc walked past Cat and down the stairs towards the marbled and stoned kitchen that connected to a plush living room and fireplace.

Cat grins and looks around. "This place is beautiful...." A wistfulness enters her voice that was unapparent before. "I love older things..... The old ways were so much nicer, they had much better taste....." She looks at the fireplace and snaps her fingers. Blue flames leap in the grate and burn warmly, whether there is any wood in the fireplace or not.....

"I admit that is what attracted me to this place. Derrick is a sucker for old things as well." She walked about the kitchens gathering glasses.

"What would you like... umm what is your name?" Joc did not see the way the fire was lit but she felt a strange bit of magic in the room all of a sudden.

Cat looks over at the kitchen and follows her in. She smiels appreciatively at the decor and then looks over at the other vampire. "Cat.... And you are....?...." She raises an eyebrow in question. "Oh, red wine, please....... Got any 1835?....."

~The Mercenary A-U Gentlewoman~

"Jocelyn or Joc as most call me" She looked through her wine cabinet and pulled out an 1835 setting it on the table before getting herself chardonnay.

She uncorked them both pouring them in their respectable glasses before replacing them and handing the drink to Cat.

Cat takes the drink, sniffs it, peers through the glass at it, dips her finger in it and tastes it, then downs the whole thing. She grins and looks over at Jocelyn. "My full name is Catalina O'Riley.... But my friends, if I had any, would call me Cat....." She sits down at the table. "So what're you two doing hiding out in this mansion?....."

Twirls the contents of her glass around before sipping it before walking into the warming living room and sitting down in one of the two red plush armchairs.

"Long ago we lived here with a human family, we were young and afraid of what we were. But our pasts caught up with us and we ended up killing them out of need. We could not leave this place, not after that memory. So we live here watching the world change through the windows"

Cathrine walked slowly through the streets, wiping calmly at a few blood splatters at the collar of her shirt.
She dressed as a man, but on closer inspection you could guess her real gender. She passed as Pascal Raven on account of her hair which she wore short yet still in the style of the early 18th centry.
She preffered to hunt alone, though times would come when she would team up with anoth, only to disappear afterwards, never to be seen by them again.
She glanced back at the body she had left lying in the gutter and chuckled to herself, continuing on her leisurly stroll.
She turned her gracefull sinewy body round a corner, and headed for the end of the road, feeling some precence at the end of it.
