There were few things Alex liked more than spending her evenings messing with young human boys. Though alcohol did nothing to her, nothing whatsoever, she chugged it down like water, challenging every foolish idiot willing to participate. And once the foolish idiot got drunk enough, she’d take a sip or two out of his neck and feel the buzz herself, allowing her to enjoy the brief reminder of humanity. 

She was on her third tequila shot with a foolsih idiot of the day, rather entertained by his quick wit and sense of humour, until her eye spotted another curious figure approaching. “Well hello there gorgeous, feel free to join in…”

Frequenting bars was never Veronica’s favorite hobby, people got loud and rowdy. But there was always enough gossip and drinking to out weigh the discomfort that came with the men and women around her. Tonight was just the perfect sort of night to ease drop on conversations and butt in where she wouldn’t normally be welcomed if they had been sober. There was something about being intoxicated that provided her with more than enough intel and rumors to last for years. 

Roni usually had to wait at the bar for half an hour, scoping out the room before she wedged her way into a group. Making it seem as though she’d been there for hours or rather years. Then her eyes caught someone else’s. The words hadn’t caught her too by surprise, but she wasn’t used to be invited to join in this early into getting in the bar. The man next to the woman who had spoke looked like he was already buzzed while she looked unaffected. “What’s the game? Or is it just drink until you’re gone?” Veronica asked before sitting next the the two people. “I’d love to join either way.”

Debriefing|Nai & Roni

Feet can only go so fast before they start breaking out into a full sprint. And a sprint would only give the people around her suspensions that she couldn’t handle at the moment. But this. This was too important for the brisk pace she was currently at. This could mean her head. She’d heard the rumors, ignored them even, and never in a million years would she have believed that the trueborns had survived in an old mansion for this long. Veronica decided, she’d leave that particular part out of what she was going to tell Naiara, the withholding of that rumor was something she shouldn’t have done. How could she have known the importance of it? “All information is important information,” she chided herself under her breath. She didn’t have time to contemplate that now, however. Shit was about to hit the fan and she didn’t want to have of that land on her.

Veronica’s feet guided her automatically to the woman’s office. She’d been to this building more times that she could count; even if she had ten hands it’d be near impossible. Though the number had began dwindling as of late, Roni had to make her intel worth it when she did show up. Well, if there was nothing else in the world, this would have been all she’d need to set herself on the map. Information like this wasn’t hard to come by, but it wasn’t like any of the people who would know went spilling the secret. No, that’s why she was still here, because no one else would do it. Her body paused outside the office. 

Frantic hands tapped against the wood harder than she’d meant them to. She waited until she heard a murmur. Maybe it said ‘come in’? Or perhaps ‘go away’? Indistinct sounds were more accurate for what was said from her vantage point, Veronica’s body was too winded to tell the difference.After opening and shutting the door but between Roni’s attempt to reclaim her breath came out the phrases: “Trueborns.” and  “Out of crypt.”
