[quote=@lovely complex] [@Akai no Senshi] Her vision moved away from the boy and to a new figure that entered the Pharmacy. The female who looked fourteen but had eyes of a ruthless killer. Her aura was a combination of dark pink and cloudy blue, revealing she still had a lot of growing up to do, but also that her desire for control was and always has been her security blanket. Unveiling a deadly soldier's pike, the tiny girl began threatening her customer, [color=ed145b]"Hey! Boy! You have something of mine!" [/color] [i]Oh this won't do. [/i] Snapping back to the physical realm, Madame Fortworth covered the jar of red powder and sighed. With her grace and dignity, she slunk into the other room and crept behind the Loli [i]vampire[/i]. Mirela went beside the girl and pressed downward in her clavicle causing a striking pain to run through the girl's body, who immediately dropped to her knees, [color=f9ad81]"Observation is key. You still have a lot to learn, Igraine."[/color] Afterwards, she tapped at two nerve points on her back causing the girl to enter a state of paralysis. She wouldn't be able to speak or move, but she could see what was going on around her. Madame Fortworth took the pike out of the girl's frozen grip and put it to the side, [color=f9ad81]"Don't worry. You'll get that back soon enough."[/color] She turned her attention to the boy, not forgetting he had a dangerous weapon on his person, [color=f9ad81]"Looks like your package attracts Grangrels."[/color] Walking away from Igraine, she cautiously approached the boy, [color=f9ad81]"You have a few options. Shoot me, her, draw attention to this shop, brand yourself as a murderer, and have enemies that surpass you in every way, shape, and form."[/color] She laid her hand out for him to give her the pistol, [color=f9ad81]"Another option you have is running away. But know this... you won't get very far."[/color] Her eyes glanced passed him to reveal a tall figure waiting in the darkness of the back room, [color=f9ad81]"Or, the best option in my opinion, you can trust me, do exactly as I say, and I promise you, you will leave this place with exactly what you want."[/color] Her stormy eyes locked into his as she gave him a reason to accept her offer. Smiling, Mirela revealed who she was,[color=f9ad81]"I am Madame Fortworth. You and me, boy. We're not so different. You're an exceptional human, and I am too."[/color] Not waiting for a response, she blew a strange, neon green powder into his face. The tall, mysterious figure approached Igraine, the candlelight revealing the face of Marc Ravnos. He loomed over the tiny vampire for a moment before lancing a finger at her temple. [Both of your characters should be unconscious now.] [hr] [i]The two captives wake up in a clean, modestly lit cell. They stand across from each other, tied to a separate pole. Augustus is bound with rope, while Igraine is held by thick chains. Ravnos sits before them in a chair, reading a huge grimoire. At his feet lie Igraine's pike and Augustus' pistol. [/i] [/quote] Igraine slowly blinked awake, but the moment she realized that she had been shackled, she instinctively struggled against her chains, causing quite a loud rattle. Igraine quickly realized that it was a futile attempt and looked around the room. The first thing to capture her attention was the powerful aura that reclined in front of her, a force on par with her father. She wondered if she was face-to-face with an Elder; after all, no human could have such an aura. Igraine also wondered if these were her last moments on Earth. The next thing she noticed was her pike at the man's feet. Turning, she could see the boy who she believes stole her coca; which in turn makes her notice that she cannot see the coca in this room, though she attempts to confirm its presence with her nose, though she first catches Ravnos' scent. The man smelled of waterfall mist, but instead of thinking of the gentle softness of dew suspended in air, Igraine thought instead of the rumbling power of the waterfall behind the mist, an endless cascading roar that cracked rocks, dashed bones, and cleaved mountains. Looking at Elder Ravnos, Igraine attempts a smile and tries to play coy, if he wanted to kill her, he probably would have done so already. [color=ec008c]"It appears that I am at a disadvantage, my Lord,"[/color] Igraine said, referring to the fact that she was tied up as well as to the fact that she had no idea who he was, though he likely knew who she was, considering what Madame Fortworth had said earlier. [color=ec008c]"The madame out front told me I'd be getting that back soon,"[/color] Igraine motioned to her pike with her chin.
