Expired Dreams

[Lachek]

"He likes beautiful things too, and pays well for them." Lachek runs his hands down her sides, tracing the curves of her hips.

[Jezma Bon Li]

I am starting to think this is a waste of time. I should have gone for Dinari himself. I kiss him anyway, to see if there is anything else I can learn from him. He sounds more like a pimp than an antique dealer. I care to not know about "the beautiful things" he sells to Dinari.
"Why were there only women at this party?"

[Lachek]

"Dinari seems to have them flock to him." Lachek is starting to get annoyed by all of these questions. He continues to kiss Jezma, indulging his hands in her body.

[Jezma Bon Li]

I stop kissing him. "Yes women do like him. He is rich, so I suppose thats what attracts them." I think for a moment. "No female spy sent to his mansion has ever returned." oops, that was not what I wanted to say. "Actually, never mind about the spies. Your passionate kisses are making me say strange things."

[Lachek]

"Well, I had hoped that things would turn out differently, my dear, but it appears that you have a knack for annoying me. And seeing as how it does't look like any of my other plans are destined to work out this evening. I will take of you that which I desire." with that, Lachek bends over her, grabbing ahold of her arms tightly with his hands, and bites into her soft, pale neck. He drinks for awhile, and then lets her body fall to the ground. She is not dead, but very weak from the draining. He bends over and removes his jacket from the heap, dusts the grit off of it, and puts it back on.

"Ah yes, vampire blood. It is old, rich, and sweet. I see that you have other blood mingled with it, but that matters little. I thank you, my dear, for making my evening pleasant. But for now, I must leave you. I have lingered here long enough. I have other beautiful things to find. Ones that have eluded me as of late." Lachek then transforms into a moth and flies away. He will have to thank his host later.

[Jezma Bon Li]

I lay near death in a pool of my own blood. Some vague memories flood into my mind. I look at the stars. I can not move or scream. I feel the strong arms of a man lift me from the ground. After that, all is dark.

[Dinari Dollar]

She is so pale and weak. I hold her tightly and bring her up to my bedroom. I might not cross her off the list afterall. But she needs to heal first.
No spy has ever left my mansion and returned to Red Infinity. she won't ruin my perfect record.
I lay her down and cover her with blankets. The bleeding has stopped. Her mouth is open a little. I see some fangs. "Why would Laschek go after one of his kind? Isn't that a taboo or something? Oh well."
I rejoin the party. I'll check on her later.

[Janele]

I start to get annoyed. "Do I sound like I care!" I yell at Riku facing him from the kitchen. My eyes widen and I slap my hands over my mouth. *Iamstupid Iamstupid Iamstupid* I keep on tellng myself for that little outburst between a private telepathic conversation.

[Lemminkainen]

my wounds feel totally better, but Genki and Hope have been totally downers to hang out with. Genki has been all gloomy since Quan Ji left, and Hope hasn't wanted to talk since Bassarov left. This really stinks. "Guys, we need to do something. i am so like totally bored."

[Jezma Bon Li]

I wake up in a soft bed, with red satin sheets. I am alone. My mind is foggy, but it is alwasy foggy. I can never remember much of anything. I look around the room and see picutres. Dinari Dollar is in some of then. Others are of attractive women. He brought me up here. Good. I can find out information from him. I dreamily close my eyes and wait for him.

[Arlee]

"Hey bro, did you hear that a Druidian commune west of here was totally wiped out? Wonder who did that?

"Red Infinity."

"Really...you think so Diagh? So what should we do about it?"

"Nothing."

"You really are no fun, you know that right?

"Yes"

"When can we go back to our people?"

"Never."

"You suck Diagh. Come on, lets go to the party the Druidians are having. "

"I hate parties."

"It will be totally cool. Now come on, don't be such a grumpkins."

We go to the party, and have a lot of fun. There is all kinds of dancing and a huge bon fire/ Druidians sure know how to celebrate!!

[Dinari Dollar]

I go up to my bedroom. Her eyes are cracked open.
"How are you feeling? You look better."
I sit down beside her, and she scoots away. aha, so she knows my reputation.

[Jezma Bon Li]

"I feel better, thankyou." I look at him. "So, you are the great Capitalist Dinari Dollar, why hasn't any killed you yet?"

[Dinari Dollar]

"There are many reasons. One, I pay them off. I pay, I live. That's simple. Two, everyone they've sent to kill me has been a woman, They should know better than that. Three, why waste the time? I don't bother them, they don't bother me."

"They've killed my family. Kith killed my parents, but they dissreved it. My old man was investing in some anti-government projects. I'm smarter than that.
"I play their game."

[Jezma Bon Li]

"You survive by playing their game."
