Taron chuckled. "Well sorry, some of us creatures need a little sleep every now and again. And you could've gone out and done whatever you wanted anyway, no one was forcin' ya to stay here." He quickly lifted his hat to smooth his short hair before putting it back on. "Could've gotten yourself better adjusted to the world n' all." Taron went to the cooler and took out a jug of milk, quickly downing it in a few gulps. The cold, white liquid ran pleasantly down his throat, giving him a nice, full feeling in his stomach. He could almost feel the energy and strength he was getting from his favorite treat. It'd be plenty enough energy to pull off an alpdrucke.

"Bleh." Vera grumbled, watching him. "I'd probably just have gotten lost."

Taron shrugged, saying, "Well, we can see 'bout gettin' you a Planar Mage to help you wit' your problem soon, but right now I'm thinkin' about pullin' of an alpdrucke. Wanna tag along? I can break into houses easily and quietly, you could eat the corpses relatively quietly after I've done my thing n' whatnot. It'd be one heck of a lot easier than poaching more guard members..." Toran chuckled.

"Um... Sure." Vera shrugged. ".... What the heck is an.... alpdruck-whatever?" She asked.

"Alpdrucke translates to "elf pressure" in' English, it's basically used as a word for an alp attack. We got it 'cause one of things we alps like to do is sit on people's chests and slowly become heavier, crushing all the breath out o' 'em. Gives 'em quite a start when they wake up from that, too. Occasionally we've even accidentally paralyzed people fer life." Taron said, heading for the door. "Basically, I go in, pull a few pranks, steal whatever dairy products they got, give 'em a few nightmares or otherwise mess with their sleep, and then you can devour their corpse. Alright, let's head out, we're burnin' moonlight!"

Vera blinked and got up, following him. "....Okay, that's weird. What's the point of doing that?"

"Hrm... well, it's a lot of fun fer me personally, and gives me somethin' to do. But there's a bit more to it than that, really. Let's see... how to describe it... I feel a need, if you will, to cause mischief n' the like. Somethin' like how you may feel hunger, but not as strong. I just feel great when I cause mischief n' stuff, so I do it. And I raid the dairy products 'cause, well, we alps gotta have our milk. It's as much of a treat to us as chocolate is to 'em humans," Toran told Vera as they walked through the woods. The sounds of the day were just ending, and the silence of night began to set in. The sun completely dipped below the horizon, enshrouding the world in a blanket of darkness.
It wasn't long until the town was in sight. Taron and Vera made their way through the streets quietly, keeping on the alert for any sign of the night guard. Taron ducked in the space between two houses with Vera, quickly asking her, "Alright', I got us a target. Any questions before we do this?"

Vera looked around and shrugged. "....Not really. You break in, do your weird alp thing, and I get to eat the person. That's about it, right?"

"Yep. I'm gonna sneak in, make sure the coast is clear, and unlock the back door fer ya. Then you come in, I find my prey's room, I do my thing, then right when they wake gag 'em and eat 'em. It'd be a pain to run into the night guard again," Taron sighed. He crept around to the back door, then transformed into a thin mist. In this form he drifted around the house, poking from prodding the sides. He found a small crack, barely small enough to be even noticeable. He entered the house through the crack, and quickly looked around. The lights were off, and all was quiet. It was a rather plainly decorated house, with naught but a few tan-colored chairs and a modest television set on top of a black armoire. The walls were a brown color, enhancing the darkness of the overall area. He grinned, transforming back into his true form. He unlocked the back door, beckoning Vera to get in.

"...." Vera blinked and just stood there for a second, the shrugged and went in. "You know, you didn't really have to open the door, I could've gotten in the same way you did. But oh well."

"..." Taron thought about this for a moment. "Ah. Right. Good point." Taron shrugged. "Didn't come to mind, I 'spose." Taron then nonchalantly walked towards a door that was at the far end of a hallway. Taron put his ear to the door. He heard rhythmic breathing from inside, nothing else. Good.
He opened the door quietly, revealing a bedroom with a dark wooden vanity in the corner and a twin-sized bed in the middle. It was nothing fancy, just as the rest of the house. In the bed slept a young woman, perhaps fresh out of college. Toran didn't know, or care. He grinned mischievously, leaping up onto the bed with expertise. He crouched on his victim's chest, ready to begin. He started very subtly, just adding a very small amount of weight. It would grow enough to wake her up soon, though.
He then closed his eyes, entering the young victim's dreams. He was granted with a vibrant world of color, he appeared to be in some sort of shopping mall. He was in a circular area with a grand marble fountain in the center which spewed forth water. Pleasant little benches were placed throughout the area, giving it a charming look. Plants were in pots, decorating the area. The entire space was topped by a glass ceiling, which revealed a starry sky above. He spotted his victim next, who was dressed in a rather flashy dress and was with a dashing young man. They were holding hands, speaking to each other. Taron thought he could make out the words "I love you" from leading the guy's lips. Psh, what a cliche dream!
It would be terribly easy to corrupt this dream, thought Toran, rubbing his hands together with an evil smile. He began to manipulate the dreamscape. He found little resistance as he began to change the reality of the dream, most subconscious minds were powerless against his hat's powers. First, he began by slowly fading out the entire dream into darkness. It started from the edges, a great black tide that swallowed several of the buildings. It devoured the fountain, the plants were gone as well. Now there was just the girl and her lover, all alone. Not even the ground they were standing on was visible.
He then began to manipulate her lover's form, a classic trick. He was holding her hands, looking around worriedly with her. The reality of her dream's changing into a nightmare was most likely dawning on her subconscious mind. Suddenly, the lover stared straight into her eyes, obtaining a toothy, maniacal grin. His nails and fingers stretched, becoming demonic claws. His eyes became blood-red, his tongue become long and hung openly out of his mouth in a disgusting fashion. His grip on her hands tightened, she struggled to get away but couldn't move.
"What's that look? I thought you loved me?" the man said before breaking into hysterical laughter. The laughter echoed in the abyss, the girl shivered, wanting the nightmare to end. She was already screaming, which was music to Taron's ears. He could feel her fear, he fed off of it. It gave him strength, made him feel a strange euphoria. He wasn't quite done, either. Tentacles of darkness broke out of the man's back, wrapping around the girl's mouth to silence her screams. They wrapped around her limbs, restraining her.
"Good night, my love..." the man said before biting into her neck. --- Taron snapped back to his body in time to clasp his hands over the girl's mouth. The scream was muffled, but it was still just as sweet to Taron. He had gotten her quite well, he decided. He used his hat to send her back to sleep, which was rather easy since her mind was in such an unfocused, panicked, and generally fuzzy state.
"Your turn, Vera," Taron said with a happy smile as he slipped off the bed.

((.....Looooong post. Makes mine look real crappy. Oh well.))
Vera looked at him, then at the girl, then at him again. "...Well that was.... interesting." She said, raising an eyebrow and going over. "Lesse... I'm guessing I can't play with her first, huh?"

((Thanks! And I'm sorry!! I didn't mean to...))
"Well, actually..." said Toran, walking over to the closet. He opened it, finding colorful shirts, pants, and dresses. He took one of the shirts, walking back over to the victim. He seized her by her neck quickly, gagging her mouth tightly with it. He kept her sedated with his hat the entire time, which wasn't very easy considering. The girl's mind fought with great ferocity to wake, but Toran managed to keep her at least too groggy to know what exactly was going on.
"Go ahead and do your thing," said Toran.

Taron shrugged. "Well, I don't want to take the chance that she wakes up the neighbors who call the authorities... people have been awfully suspicious of the night ever since this war began. Leave as much evidence as you want though, really won't matter 'cause we'll be long-gone by the time anybody learns o' this. It would appear this young lady lived alone, which makes it even easier for us."

"Whatever then." Vera shrugged and picked up her body and put it in a corner. "Wouldn't want this to get all bloody. Now lesse.." She went back to the girl and grabbed her arm. She looked at it for a couple of seconds, then shrugged and took a bite out of it.

More muffled cries came from the victim, who was helpless as Vera fed. The girl's eyes were filled with terror, looking about wildly. Tears sprang to her eyes, running down her cheeks as the pain of Vera's bite finally hit her. Getting a chunk ripped out of your arm really hurts, y'know. Toran found Vera's eating habits morbidly interesting. She ate without much speed, gracefully hovering over to a place on her victim's body where she could eat without doing lethal harm. The fact that she purposefully left the victim alive while doing this reminded Taron vaguely of how he tortured victims in their dreams.
He slipped out while Vera was busy feasting to check the refrigerator of the home's owner. It was a large but plain white object, in a kitchen that was all-in-all not that visually appealing. The woman must not have had a lot of money, Taron implied from the lack of decorations which usually were abundant in human homes. He opened the fridge with one hand and nonchalantly began sifting through the contents. He took out some of the meat which was in a small red packaged container and placed it on the counter. He then rummaged around and found a package of cheese and a gallon of milk.
Using bread he obtained from a small pantry, he fashioned himself a hearty sandwich, with extra cheese. He began taking bites from his sandwich, relishing the delicate tasteful blend of the meat and cheese. He then began downing the gallon of milk, quite quickly. He gathered up his meal, sandwich in his left hand and the milk in his right, and took off down the hall. He entered the victim's room. "Yo, Vera, you about done?" he asked, taking another bite of his sandwich and washing it down.

Vera kept eating the rest of the arm, then laughed when she saw that the girl was crying. "Aw.... does it hurt?" She grinned and licked her cheek. "Don't worry. It won't hurt for much longer." She said and ripped open her stomach, starting to pull out her guts and eating parts of it. She kept doing that for a while, before finally cracking open her ribcage and ripping out her heart.
"...Hm?" Vera looked up when Taron went in. "Yeah. Almost." She said, gnawing on the heart.
((>.> ... As I said, completely nuts.))

Toran had walked in on quite a gory scene, as was to be expected. Blood the bed and the floor, a remnant of Vera's meal. She was currently chewing on the victim's heart, which he noticed she had actually -dug out- via the stomach. It almost disgusted Taron to see it, but then again he'd done the exact same thing to people, if only in their dreams. It was actually quite interesting to see techniques he had used in the dreamscape actually used in reality, as unnerving as it was.
He quickly finished his meal, as the scene didn't really disturb his appetite. He finished off the milk, throwing the empty container aside. "Alrighty, let's get ready to head out... let's hope we don't find any o' 'em guards on the way out," Taron said, turning towards the door.
((Posts from this point on will most likely be a little slower for awhile, heh ^_^; because I need to think about what exactly to do next. If you have any ideas, please feel free to roll with 'em! I didn't exactly have the storyline on this RP planned out... heh.))

Vera shrugged and finished too. "Alright then." She got back into her body and followed him, then suddenly stopped and looked around. "Um... Since you're already taking stuff here... you think there's any vinegar in this place?"
((That's okay. I can't really think of anything, but... ))

"Yeah, I believe I ran across some in the cupboard, actually," said Taron had he walked down the hallway with Vera. He found the cupboard in question and began digging through it until he found a bottle of vinegar, which he tossed to Vera. "So, I'm guessing you Penanggalans have a thing for vinegar like alps do for milk? It would make since, you do smell of vinegar." he asked her.

Post by Ratty on Feb 11, 2009 17:54:57 GMT -5
"....Not exactly." Vera said, catching the bottle and pulling her head aside, then pouring some of it into the hole in her neck. "More like I need it. If I stay outside my body for too long my organs dry up and I won't be able to get back in, so I gotta soak them in this stuff. No idea why it's gotta be vinegar. Part of the curse, I guess. It also works as a preservative, I think." She shrugged and put her head back on.

"Ah, I see, 'makes sense, 'makes sense," said Taron, heading for the door. He casually opened it and left the house, making sure the coast was absolutely clear before gesturing for Vera to follow. The two walked through the shadows together, stopping periodically when Taron had a good "feeling" about a house. They raided, killed, and tortured several humans. Taron admitted it was at least interesting, working with someone else. Usually he went solo. He didn't mind the company, as obviously insane as it was.
Soon, the night passed the midnight point and began to reach into the tender hours of dawn. There was still time left, but Taron was satisfied and Vera was satiated, for the moment. The two began the quiet trek back to Taron's small shed, making it to the forest without any problems. Taron was carrying a jug of milk he had stolen, and Vera was carrying the limbs of her latest victim. Nothing like food "to-go."
They walked past the shadowy trees, which loomed over them oppressively. Yet, as the shadows danced in the moonlight, Taron felt the strange, dark comfort of Mother Night's embrace. The air was cool, sending a light breeze into Taron's face as they traveled. Well, at least THIS night had been relatively uneventful...

Micky, a small girl in baggy clothes with dead white eyes, was continuing to walk with Sarah, where she thought the woods was but she suddenly stopped and blinked. "Wait.... something changed. Sarah, does it look different? I'm confused..."
(( I should also mention that she can see with auras. ))

Taron suddenly heard something up ahead that broke the serene silence of the night. He immediately ducked behind a tree, motioning for Vera to do the same. He could hear voices... two of them, most likely female. Taron looked out from behind the tree to see his guess was correct. They did not look hostile, and he decided they were most likely not human, since the vast majority of humans were either asleep due to the curfew or patrolling the streets with weaponry. He decided to try approaching them, they had some time to kill.
"Heya, how're you creatures o' the night doin'?" he asked, revealing his presence. It was always nice to be civil towards other demons.

"Woah woah now, calm down 'dere girlie!" Taron said, raising his hands to show that he had no malicious intent. The younger of the two women, a girl who didn't look to be much older than 15, was looking around wildly with unblinking eyes. Hrm, maybe she was blind? Was he wrong, assuming they were also demons, were they just some lost humans?
"My name is Taron, I'm just an alp, don't mean ya any harm, nope, not at all. You're awake," Taron said with a chuckle. "Would you two ladies mind tellin' me why you're out here so late? Or rather, now I suppose, so early? Are you lost?"

Micky calmed down a little and blinked, staring at his aura "You are an alp..." She agreed, quietly, but scooted behind Sarah slightly and didn't say anything else. She definitely didn't want to take any chances, especially knowing some of the alps she'd met before. She couldn't even begin to figure out what the other woman was, having never seen anything like her before.
