[ Isabella is in the Library, digging through piles of CDs and records. Occasionally, she moves something to a separate pile. After a moment, she looks up, smiling graciously. ]

After the festivities, there will be a smaller celebration. Much less formal. You are all invited.

[ A pause. ]

What music do you prefer?

Ooh! Ooh! Can we have carnival music?

[King is trolling you again~]

[lamortdeshommes]

[Have one angry vampire, King. She's staaaaaring.]

[Video]

[hadalotofsugar]

[Have a vampire hunter, who is clearly amused!

And. makes clown noises. He might be humming that eponymous ferris wheel song.

But he stops after a couple of seconds.]

Seriously, though, you're probably gonna end up with a lot of rock music. I suggest the B-52's.

[Action/Audio]

[lamortdeshommes]

You're not amusing.

[And in the few seconds where her communicator is off, Isabella has jumped from shadow to shadow. She's right down the hall, King. Waiting.]

[Action/Audio]

[hadalotofsugar]

And here I thought I was the best thing since sliced bread.

[King is unaware that Isabella can shadow-jump, but he also maintains a healthy dose of paranoia.

So the silence puts him on edge as he walks back from breakfast.]

[Action/Audio]

[lamortdeshommes]

Sliced bread can't possibly hold a candle to irony.

[In the shadows, she can hide herself, throw off the sound of her voice. Enjoy it when you get here. You'll have no clue as to where she really is, King.]

[Action/Audio]

[hadalotofsugar]

But if you hold sliced bread over a candle, you get toast.

[Weelll, that's not creepy at all. King pauses, glancing around, and then moves cautiously, keeping his back to a wall, the side he knows his and Bryn's room is on.]

Or burnt bread, but some people like that you know.

[lamortdeshommes]

[Isabella is silent. As king shifts closer, she smirks and steps through a shadow, turning on her heel to allow some sort of motion from where she just left. Distract the prey.]

[Action]

[hadalotofsugar]

[The silence is worse than if she responded, and the flash of something in the corner of his eye only confirms his theory that she's here.

So where is she? Can she camouflage herself, or what?

He scans the hallway, looking.]

[Action]

[lamortdeshommes]

[His eyes pass over her twice. She shivers. It's been a while since she's gone on the hunt. She steps once more, into the shadow right behind him. Once his gaze is focused away from her, she reaches out slowly...

Slowly.

And taps his shoulder, before slinking back into the shadow, completely hidden by shadow again.]

[Action]

[hadalotofsugar]

[He nearly punches the wall, he turns around so fast trying to catch her.

As it stands, he stops short, and exhales sharply out his nose.]

Haha, very funny. Am I going to be part of the next tea party then?

[Still, he's moving towards his room - Bryn's told him the rooms are supposed to be safe. While he doesn't think Isabella would kill him - she apologized the first time, and he pissed her off that time, even though she doesn't remember what happened - he's still unnerved.]

[lamortdeshommes]

[Isabella smirks. Oh, he's scared! Smirking still, she steps again and emerges from the shadows, slowly, lazily.]

So jumpy, little boy.

[She licks her lips.]

[hadalotofsugar]

[He tenses when she appears, but files that information away. She can move through shadows.]

Considering our history you can't exactly blame me.

[He slides the comm into his pocket. He's not worried about death, but a fight? Maybe.]

[lamortdeshommes]

What history?

[Isabella scowls.]

Stay and tell me why you think I would kill you.

[You've piqued her interest.]

Or I can tag now because awesome

[hadalotofsugar]

[Well, that command is actually one he would have obeyed without it being a command.]

You've been on this boat before? You killed me when I insulted the thought process that led to you turning someone into a vampire that didn't want to be one. Sorta set you off.

[He knows she doesn't remember, but it doesn't make him any less wary.]

Re: Or I can tag now because awesome

[lamortdeshommes]

Ive never been on this boat before, don't say stupid things.

[She scowls. What he says rings true. Had she sired someone against their will and been critisized for it, she may well have killed anyone that spoke against her.

Stalking closer, she looks King up and down.]

You ought to know better than to toy with a predator. Now tell the truth! Perhaps you hold a vendetta. Did I steal your lover? It would not be the first time.

[She sneers, feeling the beast inside of her grow irritated.]
