Blue flames dance over the man's body as the alcohol ignites. It takes a few moments for it to penetrate his already dazed and drunken mind that he's burning, at which point he lets loose with a bloodcurdling scream.

She has already stepped back and gone to the bar to get a gin. Mary is detached from the situation. Teach that son of a bitch to mess with me.

"How could you?" Cassie screams within her mind. "How could you do such a thing? Didn't Jesus say to turn the other cheek?"

Mary answers cooly in her mind as she raises a glass of gin to her lips, "Worked real well for you, didnt it. Im in charge here now, miss, because you are too weak to handle this yourself. Stay back and enjoy the show."

Blue eyes watch the dancing fire.

Marcus turned away from placating the kine at the sound of a scream. It was then that he caught sight of Wright heading directly towards him.

"What the hell is going on?"

"You sorry cocksucking motherfucker, you come into my fucking turf and play with my fucking toys!" he bellowed at Marcus.

Holden finds what he needs, and throws a heavy curtain over the burning man. However he is less than interested in hopping on liquid fire. The first mortal that turns his way has his will ripped away in a single demand to pat the flames out.

Marcus blinked in confusion. "What the fuck are you talking about? Is this about Cassie? Is that fucking ki... kid telling you I did this?! When the fuck have I ever done anything but fucking help you?! You're gonna believe the word of some fucking loser who would do anything to save his own skin?" Behind Marcus's eyes the beast began to rise slowly.

Blue eyes sparkle, as a soft voice spoken outloud says over her glass. "Already? Things were just heating up"

Cassie chastizes. "You think this is funny?"

Mary ignores the overeager overzealous jiminy cricket and downs the rest of her glass.

Something cold and rational snapped in his mind as he absorbed the words.

His voice was suddenly cold, icy, strangely calm.

"So you heard what he said about you telling him to do it?"

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:22 pm

Marcus looked confused and a little angry. "Heard him? I hear him screaming. So what is that jackass saying? That I told him to do this? Fuck no. What the hell would I gain out of it? I'd just be pissing you off, and that's sure as hell not on my list of things to do."

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:26 pm

"Yeah, and he'd finger you for it why?"

It didn't add up. The Freak was obviously an in guy around the club, close to Wright. Much better to scapegoat somebody disposable, one of the regulars. Fuck knew, these assholes had all their own rivalries, cheap shit compared to kindred ones, but they'd fuck each other over in a heartbeat.

He moved over to Cassie as the flaming one was taken care of in one manner or another.
"..Now, that's a damn shame. The shining lady of the night, tarnished." He shook his head. "Back then, it was easy to miss a guy who made a mess of things. Now the world's all gone and started payin' attention to that sort of thing."

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:32 pm

Marcus sighed and raised his hands. "I was talking with Cassie, she looked tired so I told her to get some sleep. I couldn't lock the door so I just pulled on it until I thought it was snug enough no normal person could get in. The asshole must've seen me heading out and took his chance then. Now you see why I want that guy's head as much as you do?"

Bratty · Post by **Bratty** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:34 pm

Cassie sets her glass down and shivers, her hands going up to her robe. She looks around her, a sharp inhale in. She whispers, "It is so cold." She looks around and her eyes drift up to her room. "How did I get down here?" She asks with trepidation.

imperfect vision · Post by **imperfect vision** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:37 pm

"...Somebody decided to play a trick on you, miss. But don't fret too much." He checked his coat pockets and then slid it from his shoulders to place it over hers. "He's bein' dealt with in the swiftest and most precise of fashions."

Bratty · Post by **Bratty** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:39 pm

She nestles underneath the coat, allowing its warmth to flow over her. "I ain't used to sleepwalking. Was this one of those hypnotisms I heard about once? My cousin said he went to a circus and the guy who was hypnotised barked for hours. I didn't do anything dumb like that, did I?" She looks up at Holden with a gentle smile.

imperfect vision · Post by **imperfect vision** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:43 pm

"No, miss. You acted in a manner appropriate to the situation." His own face remains, as always, cool. He wonders about her state of mind, and what may have been inflicted upon it. "However, let's see about squeezin' you past these gawkin' fools and back upstairs."

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:46 pm

It still didn't smell quite right. But the Freak had a point.

And something else...

"Why do you give a flying fuck about the dame, anyway?"

Bratty · Post by **Bratty** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:47 pm

She nods, smiling up to Holden. Definitely a gentleman. She was right about him. She shivers again and curls against him, allowing him to lead her upstairs. It is then she notices the throbbing in her hand. She frowns and asks Holden as they move together, "I don't suppose you know to fix this do you?"

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:48 pm

Marcus looked away. "I've got my reasons. But she's all yours. She just, reminds me of somebody. That's all."

imperfect vision · Post by **imperfect vision** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:52 pm

"I c'n do what I can, miss. I've caused and dealt with enough of that to get it taken care of." He looks at the mess of the room in greater detail now that the crowd has been diverted in many directions. He helps her to avoid the broken glass on the floor. "Got any tweezers or tongs?" He surveys the rest of the room as well.

Bratty · Post by **Bratty** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:54 pm

"What kind of question is that? Im a showgirl, aint I? Ooooohhhh..." She can feel wetness on her legs, she looks sheepishly at Holden. "Let me freshen up a bit, and I'll get those tweezers" She makes her way to the bathroom. Of all the times for her to begin her menstration. And this is going to be a really bad cycle. She is already sore.

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:55 pm

"Yeah, well, you just stay away from her unless I'm around, got me?"

At this point, he was buying the Freak's story, but his territoriality had been threatened and he was feeling a tad defensive.

Charon · Post by **Charon** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:58 pm

Marcus kept his hands raised. "Alright. I'm sorry." Marcus looked over Wright's shoulder, his eyes catching odd movement as if someone was patting something. He also caught Cassie walking off with some other guy.

imperfect vision · Post by **imperfect vision** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 9:59 pm

He nods and turns from the bathroom, his nose wrinkling in disgust. Blood from sex, not nourishing in the slightest and honestly did not warm his heart in the slightest. He inspects the table where she sat when she prepared for her shows. He takes a peek at the armoire where she probably stuffs her outfits. He looks for Wright's presence in this room and what he does to show it.

Josh · Post by **Josh** » Wed Sep 14, 2005 10:01 pm

He turned and stalked back toward the downed partier and noticed that the other fucking asshole was trying to abscond with his ghoul.

Jesus fucking christ on a goddamned crutch, did any of these assholes respect a guy's domain these days? Fucking animals all over the goddamned town.

"HEY!" he shouted, charging after them. "Get the fuck away from her!"
