Albert is still pretty sure that the only dangerous thing in Siren's Port was the darkness and the monsters that came with it. And the Underground Mall was darkness proofed. So it was always totally safe, right? Which is why he completely shocked by the sudden threat. Trying desperately not to panic, he tries bravado first.

"What do you want?"

[Yeeeaah, I pretty much had to do this to him. He needs to learn to stay away from blue space vampires. I hope the mall was an okay location?]

Still gripping the man's shoulder, Raphael began to steer him into one of the abandoned hallways of the building, away from anyone who might walk by.

"A simple matter, monsieur," he said.

Once they were a good distance into one of the alleys, Raphael slammed the man against the wall, holding his arms behind his back and leaning in close over his shoulder... seemingly content just to breathe in his ear for the moment.

[Perfect.]

"What the hell do you think you're- Ugh!"

His protest ended when he hit the wall. Great. He was about to be mugged by some stranger in the mall. Some very creepy stranger. How did he always manage to get into these kinds of messes? Like hell he's accepting this without a fight. He attempts to twist around and free himself from the man's surprisingly strong grasp. When that doesn't work, he'll try swinging a leg back to hopefully kick him.

[I figure that in a contest of straight strength, 'vampire' beats 'teenage French aristocrat.']

The curse's strength increased in the darkness, and Raphael was easily able to overpower the young man... though the kick was annoying. He was certainly energetic, though... his blood would be full of life and energy for Amy.

"It will be so much easier if you refrain from struggling," he said darkly.

Without further ado, he leaned into the side of the teenager's neck, sharpened teeth puncturing the soft flesh and sinking in deep. Raphael's eyes lit up as he began to feed.

[Hey, what do you know, Raphael is himself a French aristocrat, who also hates French aristocrats!]

Though normally Malik is meticulous and precise in his time-management, he isn't above occasionally making mistakes. He'd lost track of the time during his usual information gathering session at the library, and by the time he steps out of the subway, it's already past the evening sirens.

He'll just have to be quick, then. Hood pulled up to conceal his features, he briskly makes his way back towards shelter. weaving his way through empty alleyways, when this uncouth interruption makes him stop.

His limbs are immediately tensed beneath the other's grip, but his movements are small and calm as he lets his one hand stray towards the short blade at his belt. "What do you want." There's no emotion in his voice, and he doesn't bother to look back at the culprit yet.

"Nothing you cannot spare."

Raphael began to guide the man off to the side of the alley, towards the wall. It was much easier to hold them still when he had the aid of a solid building, he'd found, and many of them remained shocked long enough for him to take as much as he needed. This man would be another nourishing meal for Amy.

"Hold still, and I shall spare your life."

Eyes narrowed as he felt himself being herded towards the wall, Malik only waited for the other to finish speaking -- hand slowly drawing his short blade from its sheathe.

A lesser man might have obeyed the threat, but Assassins were never taught to surrender to their foes. Before he could be pinned against the wall, he pivoted on his heel and parried the dagger away from his back with the clash of steel on steel. He reeled his arm back for only a moment before stabbing it deep in the other's abdomen and jerking up. The action merited no words, but he did take the chance to glare at the man's face, assessing his features.

Ah! A man of the sword! Raphael was honestly surprised, as he had yet to run into a single person here who held the same reverence for the blade that he and Amy did. Why, it was almost enough to make him miss all those worthless warriors he'd faced down abck home. What he'd give for a good rapier duel...

He was interrupted by the sharp pain of the dagger stabbing into his abdomen, a cold sting that ripped through the black clothes he was wearing, opening an ugly wound up the front of his body. Raphael froze for a moment, stunned with pain, but his look of shock turned slowly into... was that amusement?

The curse made him stronger at night, and now it seemed to be dulling his pain. He smiled malevolently at his victim, pointed teeth standing out on his lips as he reached down, grasped the man's dagger hand with his own and jerked the blade right back out of his body, shoving the man hard towards the wall as he did.

[ Death Gods don't necessarily need to eat, but this particular one has a bit of a taste for chocolate. Particularly fine chocolate of the marked-down-after-Valentine's-day variety. Grell leaves the chocolatier's with a bulging bag of goodies, and turns a corner, intending to leap up to the rooftops, which is his preferred mode of travel.

When suddenly Raphael makes his trademark attack ... ]

OOooooh la la~~~!

[ There's something poking insistently into Grell's back. He TOTALLY MISINTERPRETS what that something is! ]

Vous etes TRES ENTHUSIASTIQUE, Monsieur!

[ Spoken with the WORST French accent imaginable! ]

[It's not as though Raphael has any kind of real powerful patriotism for his country, but to hear his mother tongue absolutely massacred in such a way...

He says nothing, merely pushing the dagger harder so that this foolish woman might understand just what was going on, steering off towards the abandoned alley nearby.]

[ Chocolate and being assaulted by mysterious Continentals -- this evening was turning out to be INFINITELY better than expected! ]

OOOoooOOoooh~! Monsieur! Ou etes-vous--

[ Aaaaaand Grell's rubbish French breaks down completely. ]

Where are you taking me, you bruuuuuuute! Won't someone saaaaave me! Oh! Oh!

[... What in the world is wrong with this woman?]

Quiet, you fool. Do not flatter yourself. [He's got all the sexual libido of a maple tree and don't you forget it.

He shoves Grell against the wall of the alley and moves in close, shoving him against the opposite wall with two firm hands on his shoulders, leering with those blood red eyes of his.

At last. The sort of taste he enjoyed in his blood.]

Another underground mall victim~ yay_us February 18 2011, 14:35:41 UTC
Vanille knew better than to go wandering around at night after a few mishaps with Darkness monsters. Or at least she knew better than to go wandering around alone; it wasn't that she couldn't fight, but she did better as part of a team anyway, supporting the people she cared about! But the underground mall hardly counted as a dangerous place to be. It was too early to head home, and never too late to get a delicious smoothie and wander around looking at pretty clothes while sipping a frozen mush of strawberries and bananas.

But the shock of someone grabbing her from behind, something sharp pressing lightly into the small of her back, made her drop the cup, the remnants of the smoothie splattering across the floor. Her voice came out rather high-pitched. "Um! If bonsoir means give me your money, I don't really have that much left! Smoothies are expensive, you know!"

"Relax, my dear. I do not desire your money."

Raphael was pulling her off to the side, into an alley between shops where nobody would bother to look for a few minutes. Already, his mouth was watering at the tantalizing scent of this young woman's blood... it had been so long since he tasted his favorite brand.

"It's so much simpler than that," he said quietly, pushing her down on her knees, facing against the alley wall. "You'll barely even notice it's gone."

This all seemed very bad to Vanille. In fact, an unknown man pulling her off alone somewhere was probably cause for serious panic. If he didn't want her money, then who knew what he wanted?! This was exactly the sort of thing Fang and her angriest glares would have discouraged any strange man from doing, but unfortunately this time she was on her own.

"I think I most certainly would notice if something was gone!" Almost as soon as she was pushed down to her knees, Vanille sprang up again, aiming a foot for the stranger's instep. "Let me go, you fiend!"

Even the finest in 16th century leather boots couldn't stop the sting from a stomp like that, and Raphael was thrown off balance as he staggered in pain. Hissing viciously, he snagged her by the back of the throat, squeezing tightly and shoving her back against the wall.

"It will be so much less painful if you don't struggle," he snarled, leaning in close and seeming to inhale her scent. So sweet, so pure, so young and beautiful... oh, she would taste divine.

Seven was no stranger to walking home in the Darkness, her temporary employer seemed to be happy to let the 'Newcomer' stay as late as she liked, perhaps hoping she'd get attacked or killed on her way back home. Normally she could avoid the night creatures decently well, her enhanced senses warning her well in advance of when she'd stumble blindly into the things, and the simple bludgeon weapon she carried was generally enough to incapacitate most creatures when combined with her strength.

She was careful, but usually not concerned. That changed when she felt a hand on her shoulder, an instant before its fingers clamped down, vice-like, and the blade against the small of her back. She stiffened, thoughts running through her mind a thousand a minute--none of them panicked, just honestly curious. How did this man sneak up on her?

"If money is your aim, I have none." Her voice was calm, collected. Even if she was afraid, she wouldn't show it.

[Just as a heads up, Sev has a bloodstream laced with tiny machines with not-so-nice ( ... )

"Money is worthless to me." He tugged against her, using the dagger and his strength to drag her away from the front of the building, off to a side location where they could have a little more privacy.

"Never fear. I don't intend to take your life, unless it is foolishly offered to me."

[EWWW SHE TASTES LIKE OIL]

Seven frowned, intending to resist--and she possessed enough strength to do so--but deciding cooperation was the more prudent course of action for the moment. There were any number of things he could have wanted from her, but until she could extradite herself from the situation safely, it was better to play along and wait for an opening.

"I do not intend to offer it," she said dryly. "But perhaps you should reconsider the manner in which you attempt to reassure those you assault."

"You'll find, madam, that I can be very convincing."

He continued dragging her off to the alleyway alongside the building, finally forcing her against the wall. He leaned in close to her and seemed to be... was he really smelling her?

"You have the scent of no woman I've experienced before," he muttered, close to her ear.
