Nathan was busy preparing tonight's ritual. He didn't have much time, it was already late. He wanted to get this done right away. The sooner he gave his offering the sooner his son's blessings would come. If he didn't do this tonight, he would have to wait another month at the very least. Nathan hated waiting.

When he heard the sound of the other man calling out, Nathan cursed. What the hell was he doing awake? He dropped what he was doing, was that a syringe? And then swiftly turned to hush Landon. "Quiet. People are trying to sleep." 

Well. Maybe not his uncle, certainly not in fact... but, his son for sure was in bed at this hour. It was a school night after all. A late night no less. And the last thing Nathan needed was for his son to find out about the secrets in their basement. He wouldn't understand, even if this was all for him. This had to be done.

Nathan stepped forward "As a matter of fact, you should be one of them." Nathan growled

No one knew Nathan's other side. He kept the bloody acts secret. He didn't need his rituals ruined, who would save his family then? He couldn't rely on other humans or any God they might look too. It was his Gods that would save him as long as he could please them. He just hadn't found the right offering just yet.

Clean shaven, well dressed, and with a catchy smile he played along to none one the wiser. He was always on the look out for someone to keep in the wings for a sacrifice. Passing Saint on the streets he gave pause. Something about the man called too him. Perfect.

How did he get to him? He needed to keep tabs on him. Get him into the restruant so they could meet and go from there. Not as simple as it seemed. Nathan left the building and crossed the street. He introduced himself. "My name is Nathan, owner of the restruant across the street. You look like you need a good meal. How about a coupon your first meal free?"

Nathan wasn't planning another ritual and even if he was he wouldn't need any human sacrifices this time yet he always kept his eyes open and hopes high. However, the time was almost at hand for an anuual tradition, his favorite holiday. Maybe he should do something special. 

The man was more focused on his 'normal' life his public side. Restruant owner, single father, compassinate member of a community. He minded his own bussiness and carried on as he kept careful tabs on those who came and went, anyone who passed him on the streets. Everyone. He never knew who would catch his eyes or be perfect for the comming bloodletting cermonies

Today it seemed he was getting that lucky catch after all. He saw a man that caught his eye, he looked strikingly similar. Maybe the Gods would finally free his family of the curse if he gave them such an offering. But how was he going to do that?

This time of year was busy for them. Usually, the small town didn't get much in the way of traffic. But summertime called tourists to the areas. People wanted to get out of the cities and into the woods, people wanted to go on vacations, go hiking, someplace new. The local inn made a good place to stay and Nathan's own diner was the only restaurant in town. They made for good people-watching locations when Nathan had nothing better to do.

He was always happy and excited to see someone check into the inn all alone. That made it easy if he choose them for a blessing. Today was just his luck, he spotted the woman in the front foyer of the inn and eyed her. Would she be worth it? He didn't know if this one felt right. He could go home and pray about it... but who knew how long she would be in town for? Nathan was at a standstill. What should he do?

He stepped toward her and offered a friendly, welcoming smile. "My name is Nathan, owner of the local diner and town Mayor. Might I offer you a tour around town?"

He saw her enter the diner. His fine restaurant was the only eatery in the small town, it made a good point of contact for all the tourists and travelers the small town saw through here. Every so often he saw one he liked. This woman was no different. He liked her. There was something about her. Why was she here? He always wondered what lead people to this place. 

He followed her into the eatery and approached the table she was seated at. He invited himself to sit down across from her. "Welcome Miss! My name is Nathan owner of this diner and Mayor of this town! What brings you here on this chilly day?" 

Always friendly. Just an act and he knew it. He knew what he was but he had to put up his acts, no one else would understand what he was doing. It was a shame. If he didn't give the Gods their required sacrifices then who would? How else would he heal and save his family? His son's future was at stake.

He wasn't planning on looking for another sacrifice. But seeing her pass by he felt a spark. She would be perfect, this was just what he was missing. What kind of passion and fire she would bring to his rituals. Who was she? He needed to know more. He didn't see many newcomers in this area. It was a small mountain town. Everyone knew everyone but tourists still came and went. Was she just a tourist or was she here for something else? Curiosity pulled at him as well. Watching her enter the local diner, he owned, he smirked. This might work out.

He entered after her and approached her table. He held out a hand "My name is Nathan. Owner of this diner. What brings you to our lovely little town?"

"And what would make you say something like that? My uncle could be a bit odd but why bring me into this? We're both fine."

Nathan was dressed in casual clothes, no one would pay him much mind. He was known in his small town as well. Everyone knew everyone, locals-wise. Then there was the flow of various tourists. Tourism depended on the season, they had busier times than others, and even then the local inn didn't see much traffic. But as Nathan saw to it to introduce himself to those coming and going, especially if they caught his eye. he was also on the lookout for new sacrifices and ritual mates.

The newcomers this time around, looked strong and healthy. The perfect life energy he needed. But how was he going to get them alone? At least he knew where to find them. The town's old inn was the only place to stay for miles. 

His restaurant was the perfect meeting place. Introduce himself, and offer a tour. Some people took him up on the offers. Others were smart and cautious. How would this man fare? There was one other problem. The man had a child with him, assumingly his daughter. That complicated things but didn't scrap his plans. Nathan was a father as well. He knew the protective nature of a parent. He did everything he did for his son after all. Nathan went for it.

He approached the table "I'm Nathan, owner of this diner. You folks enjoying your meal?"
