A building stood out in the middle of many run-down buildings. With flashing neon lights, it invited many people in to have a drink or dance. It was quite a clean place, despite its location. One or two bouncers usually stood by the door, but not tonight. There were more, for tonight was free drink night. It was quite a rush, and nary a person could sneak past this bunch of bouncers. You'd only be let in if you looked like you could handle how many drinks you'd be drinking.
Kaori, like any other vampyre in the area, ventured towards the doors of the famous Rhapsody Club. Dressed in her usual, she was let in, but not without flashing a smile at the bouncers, or showing a bit of leg. 'Pathetic fools...' she thought to herself as she went through the pack of dancers and to the bar. Tonight was a night to indulge herself, and drown herself in her misery. To drink down every last drop of sorrow she held...for this night was one where a few years ago she'd done something terrible.
((ooc. just a little attempt at a kick-start...hope it works!! ^^))

Oltri observed the club from a distance, checking ever person who entered. Some of them were rich; she could tell by their haughtiness as the bouncers let them in. Figuring she could get some nice things from them to pawn off, she went around the corner to where a broken back door conveniently unguarded and snuck in. She never stole, just "relieved" people of some unnoticables. Nothing that looked important or too valuable, her stealing once in a while didn't taint her sense of morals (much), and also that stealing the stuff no one cared about was much safer. ooc: thiefy

Kaori, now on her fifth drink, lay her head pathetically on the bar. She usually paced herself, and now she was getting a headache. Taking a deep breath, she decided she would wait awhile before she ordered her next drink.

Oltri squeezed between a couple of overly plump drinkers and spied the counter. That was the best place to get some stuff, so she went. Picking up a few loose gold coins from a few drunken swordsmen, she pocketed her loot and continued onward, sweeping clean the counter of anything forgotten. A jewelled dagger had been left on the counter, most likely by the rich-looking man who had found the floor more comfortable than the chair, and took it. She could always keep it as a momento of the club, take off the jewels and keep the knife, or sell the entire thing. Deciding this was enough for the night, she started to head out the door. The front door, this time.
As she walked over to it, some man drunk off his ass bumped into her as a brawl began. It was impossible to leave now, as an eager audience had blocked her way. She sat down on a nearby chair, watching the fight ensue, not noticing that a half-drunk girl with black waist-length hair was sitting head down next to her.

Kaori lifter her head as her keen vampyre senses picked up the sound of a human body hitting the seat next to her. She saw a young teenager, watching another barfight erupt, which was soon over because more bouncers came out of a room and stopped them. She looked at the young person, and from her own experience, deducted that she was a theif. Kaori checked what few belongings she had braught alond and found the nothng was missing.

"Aw, nuts." Oltri muttered as the drunken slobs were booted out of the bar. She yawned idly, and heard some sounds next to her. A girl who looked her age was searching through her things.
"Hi." Oltri greeted, and gave a small wave. "I didn't steal any of your things, if you're wondering that. I'm not a real thief, just a desperate kid looking for pawnables."

"Ah..." Kaori said, nodding uncertainly. "Well, just like you, I'm quite desperate, but in a different way. I'm desperate to get rid of my sorrows..." She nodded to the bartender as he came with another free drink. "With this..." She took a swig of the sakii.

"I heard that drinking magnifies your sorrows more than it drowns them," Oltri stated. "Talking helps more. If you feel like it, I'm here to listen." She had planned to leaving, but usually when a fight took place more were guarenteed to break out. Might as well talk to someone while she waited.

"..." Kaori didn't say anything, just looked at Oltri. "Many times this has helped me," Kaori said, taking another swig of it. "And I don't like telling my tale, it's quite a long one, and it draws people away from me..."

"Same as me," Oltri said, "Long, boring, weird, and entirely secretive. I suppose you're some sort of mercenary?" She pointed to the swords Kaori had set by her chair.

V walked in front of the bouncers and sweeped her golden hair behind her shoulders. She winked at them and walked in through the door. She sat down at a little table and ordered her drink. This place seemed normal. She sat back and closed her eyes.

Kaori raised her eyebrows to confirm what she had said. She ordered another drink as she finished her other one. "It has good pay, especially if people know who you are, no matter if it's good or bad..." she said, remembering the incident that got her famous.

"Sounds like a nice job," Oltri waved down a server and ordered something. "Back where I used to live, alcohol was illegal until you were of age, but it seems to me it doesn't matter around here." She looked at her drink and took a sip. "I don't know why this place is so packed, their stuff isn't really that great. How could I get a job as a mercenary, if I chose to?"

Kaori shrugged, downing another drink. "It's probably popular because the drinks are free tonight," Kaori said, ordering another one. "Also, I wouldn't know how to actually get into the business...accidents happened that got me known as a merc...and here I am..."

"Which leads to the story you say leads people away from you." Oltri took another swig of her drink. "You say you're famous. Who are you, anyway?"
