As intimidating and downright frightening as the expression on her face was, Vergil held his ground; he had seen scarier and judging from this girl’s appearance she was not someone who needed to be considered as a threat. Choosing not to answer her for the moment he looked away and surveyed the mess that was strewn across the room; it did not take a genius to figure out what was going on.

“You aren’t going to find what you’re looking for. Didn’t you realize this when you came here?” He enquired as he arched an eyebrow calmly. She looked flustered and downright desperate but it wasn’t as though Shade kept any living creatures here other than the humans that wandered around the sub. “It would be best if you calmed down.”

[keptwaiting]

"Excuse me?" Alice scrutizined his words silently, the ideas clipping together in her head. He... knew? He knew what she was searching for? How in all of the world could he?

He hadn't arrived till just now. She knew that much: she would have heard, or at least, have some predained warning to his arrival. So her speed that no human could see wouldn't have given her away. Though her mind acutely reaquainted her with the fact there were many, many, many people from different worlds here. It was plausiable...

Deciding to play it safe, she merely arched an eyebrow delicately and it almost disappeared into her hairline. "I have no idea what you're talking about," she said innocently, folding her arms in the process, though her voice was still dripping with venom. Probably was.

[yamatodevil]

Well that settled it, judging from her reaction not only had he caught her off guard but he had been on the right track when he had assumed that she was looking for something of the living variety. It stood to reason that there were others on the sub who were less than human given the various different worlds that people had been drawn from, it was only a matter of time before he came across someone like himself; granted they were more barbaric than he was if they were willing to eat like that

Alice's eyes flashed and a glare set within her eyes. Composing herself, it disappeared within less than a second. "You're a right one to talk," she said speculatively. "And it is here that I'm wonder what you were doing down here..." she trailed off, thinking to herself

[yamatodevil]

She was perceptive; something that was almost refreshing to see from someone who was living in the same close quarters as himself but he saw no reason to explain what he was when she was begin so difficult. He remained impassive to the change in her voice and the same bored expression was still engrained on his pale features. “A monster perhaps,” he agreed calmly “Though I doubt you could even frighten a child,” maybe he was just trying to wind her up or maybe he was just bored; people here drifted from day-to-day with their heads in the clouds so there were few who were even worth talking to.

“Is it blood?” He continued to press as he met her gaze head on with an accusing stare. “Tch disgusting. You are a lower creature if you partake in such a thing, especially since you don’t seem to have any self-restraint. If that is what your after.” He knew he was goading her, testing her limits to see just how long it would take to make her crack.

[keptwaiting]

Her lips curled back over her teeth - not something you expected to see from a four foot two inches young woman. Her expression was back to normal in a matter of miliseconds though, so to an onlooker it could merely be just be a figment of the imagination.

If nothing before had gotten her irritating, the second of his statements did. Her eyes and face hardened - she looked more like a statue than before. Hard as marble and a life figure carved from a stone. It took her a few seconds to regain composture. The nerve, the downright nerve... self restraint.... it was what was keeping her from ripping his throat out right about now. "You have no idea," she snapped back at him. "You tell me and I'll tell you. And you can stop guessing."

[yamatodevil]

“You lack self-restraint,” he repeated as he leant back against the kitchen units with his arms folded across his chest. What was he doing here? He had been on his way back from the training facility when he’d heard noises... why he was still here? He had no idea. “I understand the nature of primal instincts willing every fibre of my body to let go and behave in a manner that is beneath me. If you must know then my name is Vergil, something I would have expected you to know already. I’m part demon.” He felt like he was standing up in the middle of one of those self-help meetings and admitting to a room full of people that he was bordering on insanity despite what he was saying being nothing but the truth. He wouldn’t attempt to lie; he was downright awful at it.

[keptwaiting]

"A demon?" Alice's eyes lit up with sheer curiousity for a moment, pushing all he'd said to her at this point to second place in her brain. A demon... she'd thought that was a myth, a legend. But then, that was definately hypocritically. She lived in the world of myths and legends. Afterall, she was one. "Or, part," she ammended. She still seemed just as fascinated.

She unfolded her arms, dancing lithely around to look at him, and to lean foward slightly in his direction. Fury still seemed to bubble under her actions, probably from his misconcepts. "Then I'm afraid you're very wrong about me, mister Vergil. You seem to be under some delusions... though some of them aren't that far off the mark..." she smiled pleasently even though it still seemed menacing, "But since you're of the supernatural world, and I'd rather you did get all the things right about me..."

She paused for the matter of about two seconds. As she spoke, her skin seemed to glisten in the dull bright lights of the kitchen. "I'm a vampire."

[yamatodevil]

Well that explained why she had become so offended at his comments about the blood. He had never heard of real life vampires existing outside of fiction and the occasional newspaper article by a man who had confused a demon for a vampire but that did not rule out their existence and now she had admitted it... things made a lot more sense. “Your appearance gives you away to anyone who is familiar with the more supernatural side of the world. You’re humanoid enough but there are differences that just don’t fit in with the norm. You have the look of a person who died recently,” it was the pale skin that had become quite an unnatural shade.

Still... there was one thing that still did not make sense. “If you’re a vampire then you’re here looking for blood, why not save yourself the trouble and bite a human?” He asked. Humans were a lower species, killing one off every now and then wasn’t something to get worked up about.

[keptwaiting]

"Do I? I guess it is very pale," she admired her skin - pale white, marble, stone-like as always. Glistening slightly. Alluring to humans. Most would miss the dark circles that were slowly forming under her eyes. "You're not the first to say my appearence gives me away," she mused. Bella had said that. So did the dog.... wolf... Jacob.

At his statment about biting humans, her brow furrowed again. A look of distaste crept over her face, and she shook her head. "I may be looking for blood. But I don't drink... human blood. I'd never dream. If I were a normal vampire by your standards, then I wouldn't be able to even be here or survive. I'd have killed half the populace by now. No compassion for humans, the normal vampires. I'm a vegetarian," she laughed at the private joke she and her family shared. She explained, "We feed off animals..." her gaze wandered to the food proserves, "...but none of this has blood."

[yamatodevil]

“That’s... disgusting,” Vergil replied as he thought about just what she was saying. In his opinion it was degrading enough to even require something like blood to sustain life in such a manner but to take it from animals just made it seem even worse. “Humans wont appreciate your efforts. If they were to find out what you are they would still be too narrow minded to accept you regardless of whether you have ever bitten a human or not. Your putting yourself through unnecessary stress for a species that as a whole don’t even realize you exist.”

[keptwaiting]

Alice, in a sudden blink-and-miss-it movement, was in his face - or as close as she could get with her petit height. Her face was angry. "There's someone you should meet," She said coldly. "My brother's... soulmate. She'd disagree with you. She appreciates the effort. This life isn't someting you're born as. Why, when a curse is put upon you, must you curse others and take their lives away? We try to do something good with what with have," she snapped. "We can coexist. We can be civalised. The others cannot."

Wow. Carlisle would be proud. She sounded like she'd been listening to him too much... or thinking about what he said too much.

[yamatodevil]

“Then what happens to you?” Vergil asked calmly as he shifted slightly and gently pushed her away. The girl was invading his personal space and he was by no means comfortable with that. “Can you even sustain a life on animal blood? I imagine your abilities are severely stunted because of it, why go against your nature for the sake of one individual at the cost of yourself?” Humans existed simply as a means to get what you wanted, they had no real purpose and only served to be a drain on the planet, ridding the world of a few people every now and then couldn’t be considered a crime.

[keptwaiting]

Alice didn't seem keen on his hands on her skin - it wasn't a comfortable feeling. She was used to it, due to Bella and her close proximity with her - but having not hunted, the human side of Vergil was almost singing it's praises to her. She pushed the thought aside.

"We can sustain on animal blood," she said firmly. Almost proudly. "We are as strong as any other vampire... perhaps stronger. We are more focused. And as I said, civalised," she nodded to herself. "We go against our... nature, as you put it..." she paused. "Look at it this way. You live a normal life. One day you wake up and you're told you're bad. Evil. You should kill. What if some of us didn't want that? Is it such a crime?" she shook her head, not waiting for an answer. "I don't think it is."

[yamatodevil]

“It isn’t helping you now,” he pointed out flatly. There wouldn’t be anything like what Alice was looking for in the kitchen on the sub, if she wanted blood she would have to go against her principals and bite a human or go through the sewers to the surface. “There are times when you have to let go of your principals in order to survive, where else are you going to get a decent supply of blood?”

[keptwaiting]

She folded her arms again, accessing. "By sneaking out," Alice said, almost smiling but keeping her face firm. "I'm not going against my principles now. I've stuck to them for fifty years. If I kill one person... in the state that I'm in, then... you can imagine. The rest would follow pretty quickly."

Alice sighed again. There was also another factor there, though it wasn't as prominent as the first. "I'm not killing everyone here. They're fighting for their freedom. I'm not going to hinder that."
