Ysabella chuckled silently to herself as her eyes slid shut, the force of Jolyne's blows rocking her body like before. Now that the human had figured out what she was, the punches were falling more strategic and much harder than before. Each one that drove into her gut actually came close to causing real pain, impressive for a human female in a vampire's eyes. While the attack didn't hurt, it didn't leave Ysabella completely unscathed, the woman loosing her breath somewhere around "4" in her countdown. "3...2..." Ysabella's body shook with a mighty cough, the woman coughing up a fair amount of her own blood onto the ground as she did so.

Inhaling deeply through her nose, Ysabella righted her posture and straightened out her outfit. Finally open, her cold eyes fell upon the girl hungrily. "1... Time's up." Catching Jolyne's wrist she yanked her forward harshly, Ysabella held her arm stretched out as she caught the small of the girl's back with her free hand. "I'm not particularly fond of tasting my own blood... You'll need to make up for all the damage you've caused." She hissed in Jolyne's ear before sinking her teeth into the soft flesh of her neck, shuddering as the sweet taste of blood danced across her tongue. It had been months since Ysabella had hunted last, suriving off of small tastes here and there on her journey "home".

The bliss Ysabella felt in consuming fresh blood almost changed her mind about her plans for the evening, her thoughts wavering as the delicious scent rose about them. After a few moments Ysabella finally lifted her head for air, still holding Jolyne close to her. "What a shame I can't completely drain you... But rest assured, I've got better things planned for you." She sighed, sounding disappointed but firm in her statement. "But before I go, I think I'll have another bite." Ysabella smiled softly to herself as she leaned in for another drink, already thinking ahead to the hell this girl was about to go through. Not everyone who came into contact with Ysabella's fangs turned into a vampire themselves, she had to want them to. She wasn't quite sure how it worked, but it seemed she had some willpower over the transformation (or infection as humans chose to see it). Thus she only had to decide to turn someone for it to happen, but even that didn't guarantee success, especially if a target were older. Teenagers tended to be the prime age group for a successful transformation, hence why she was picking on a girl who looked young enough to still be in high school.

Pulling away to face Jolyne, Ysabella held up the girl's weight with ease, leaning far enough back so that she could look into her eye with ease. "Are you still with me Jolyne? How are you feeling?" She asked, only somewhat sincere in her question. Ysabella honestly wanted to know how the girl felt, but it wasn't as if she truly cared for her safety... After all she had just attacked and decided to turn the girl into a being just like her.

Wow, exciting! How did it go?

I've noticed that too but I'm okay with that. Especially with all of the personal mayhem going on. . And besides, it's a Monday. Who has energy to do anything on a Monday? XD

Ysabella's eyes narrowed as she smiled, finding victory in the rapid increase of Jolyne's pulse. She didn't care which emotion it belonged too, all she knew is that she had her right where she wanted her: frozen in place within her grasp... That was until she wasn't. The vampire had known from the start that this child had some fight to her, but the fact that even through all of the fear she was still able to react the way that she did, it took her by surprise. The force of Jolyne's fist against her face was enough to knock the woman back a few steps, her back arched slightly as she stared at the sky in shock. Slowly she righted her posture, brushing her nose gingerly with the tips of her fingers. "You should be a little more careful... You could have seriously hurt me, Jolyne." Ysabella laughed mockingly, having felt minimal pain from a strike designed to knock out an opponent.

"That's good though, you still have some fight in you. I was getting worried that you weren't as much fun as I originally thought." The woman inhaled calmly as she fixated her gaze on the human before her, feeling her own heart beat with the excitement of a chase. Ysabella wore a smile unlike any of the ones she had during the conversation with Jolyne, predatory in nature but in no way natural in the eyes of a human. The illusion she had placed over the appearance of her teeth had faded now that Jolyne was becoming aware of the oddness of her being. Two sharp fangs made became visible as she stared at the child lustfully, the blood in her veins calling to satiate the thirst that had been building up for weeks. Ysabella disappeared from Jolyne's view only to reappear behind the human, pressing her back lightly into the girl's. "Despite your lack of manners, I'm feeling rather generous today. You can have a ten second head start, do with it as you will." Ysabella's voice remained light and airy as she taunted the child, watching the human out of the corner of her eye. "10...9...8..." She hoped that Jolyne would turn and run, but that would also have been the predictable thing to do. Fighting was a hopeless option but ten seconds of pummeling on a "defenseless" target was also too good to pass up. Either way the game had begun, all Jolyne had to do was choose how it was going to end.

"Hahaha, yeah I am." Caden scratched the back of his head as he chuckled, beginning to feel more comfortable now that he knew someone understood his craft. "You've got a good point. A lot of "DJs" these days overdo it with the effects or end just end up with a ipod playlist. You've got to be able to find a particular balance, especially if you're interested in mixing your own songs. I'm not quite there yet myself, but it's a goal of mine." Sitting back on his hands, Caden nodded his thanks at Jess' offer to retrieve his drink, returning his attention back to the twins he'd been speaking to earlier.

"If you guys are willing, maybe some time I can listen to you guys play? I love discovering new bands." He asked hopefully, turning his head as Jess re-entered with his drink. Accepting it gratefully, he shook his head with a smile. "No, it's alright. I asked for an odd drink anyway, I'm surprised you actually had it." Caden took a sip and sighed contently, the sweet liquid raising his spirits and calming him down some.

Nova shrugged at Agent Chandle's assessment of the ancient story, knowing she was correct but still not agreeing with it. "Still, I'm fairly certain our governments were worried about such stories having the power to start riots. That's why they had them turned into children's cartoons with talking animals and happy endings for everyone... Including the villains. Take away their power and the threat of riots goes down, not that many people in this country would be willing to get up off their couches for five minutes anyway." Nova chuckled and accepted Alexis' hand, shaking it firmly.

"Good work today, not sure where we'd be without that shot of yours. You serve somewhere? I get that fierce army blood feeling from you." Something about this particular agent interested Nova, this one seemed to have real life to her. Many agents, despite being part of NAIL were quite by the book and a stickler for rules. This one didn't seem like the type to cause trouble but she would take anyone's crap either. "Drinks on me then, just pick a place." Nova turned her gaze back to the vigilante, raising an eyebrow at his new voice.

"You know, for an Englishman I expected more manners out of you. Must be American raised." She jested, stuffing her hands into her pockets and resting her weight on her hip. "Just because you don't wear a hood doesn't mean that you don't resemble the guy. You've even got an accent to match." Nova's mischievous streak had returned, her eyes flashing playfully to match her laugh. "But in all seriousness..." She started, unpocketing her hands to fold her arms across her chest. "We'd use your vigilante names if you'd just give them to us, but you guys have a bad habit of shutting down every time we attempt to make contact. You're the first I've ever had a conversation with if we're being totally honest here. If you want a better codename than 'Robin Hood' then why don't you tell us who you are and that'll solve that." Nova stated definitively, a movement in the corner of her eye catching her attention. She turned her head slightly so she could watch a young man wandering around, asking questions.

Caden typed furiously from his desk at an internet café he'd chosen to use for the day. The room around him was dimly lit and isolated, like all the other cubicle like rooms in the joint. Unlike the other rooms, however, the desk space had been cleared for his own equipment, which he carried around in a backpack. The young man ran a hand through his hair before pulling up the live video feed to his drone Yuuko, who had been pulling various amounts of data NAIL could use for the deceased villain's profile. "Geez, this guy's anatomy is a mess. I sure hope he wasn't planning on returning to normal after this. Caden mumbled to himself, moving the drone about the scene. He had planned to check up on his sister, who had taken the vigilante to get medical assistance but a wandering G.C.P.D. detective caught his eye. Sighing to himself, he knew how frustrated the young blood must have been. "We could be nicer to these guys, they try their best." Moving the drone closer to the young detective, Caden made a point to catch the man's attention before speaking, so as not to freak out the detective as badly.

"You're with G.C.P.D. correct? I'm Agent Black, NAIL intelligence officer. You look a bit lost, is there something I can help you with?" Caden wasn't stupid, he knew exactly what the man was doing. It's what all new detectives tried to do, find answers. It wasn't easy with all of the agents walking around blocking them from witnesses and censoring all information. He sighed to himself, the idiocity of it all. How were they supposed to do their jobs if they had no information, and yet they were blocked from information because NAIL viewed them as incompetent and untrustworthy at their jobs. It didn't make any sense.

Taking a deep breath, Caden sat back in his chair and linked his hands behind his head. "Sorry about the appearance, by the way. I'm not much of a field guy, so I use these drones instead. I apologize if she startled you." He chuckled, knowing how odd it must have been to be speaking to a person through a flying toy.

Ysabella decided not to respond to the girl's comment, not finding a retort worth the effort. Instead she continued to stare at the human child with her judging gaze, the hint of smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Does it seem like I'm being flirtatious?" She chuckled sarcastically, allowing the smile to infect the rest of her facial features. "If that's the case, there's no reason for you to be nervous around me. You're a little too young for me anyway." Ysabella shrugged again, relaxing her stance and dropping her arms to her sides. It appeared that her subtle tricks were working as intended, the sound of the girl's beating heart falling on her ears like music. As a pure blooded vampire, Ysabella's presence alone was often enough to make people nervous, but it wasn't any fun if that's all it took. Because of this, Ysabella often had to keep her aura under control so that she could toy with her prey the way she liked. With this particular girl, however, Ysabella didn't have to reign it in quite so much seeing as the child was naturally strong willed.

Having finally touched the right nerve with the girl, Ysabella was finally graced with the name she had sought after. Not that Jolyne was planning to stay much longer after spitting it out at her, but the small victory was all it took to finally break Ysabella's façade. As Jolyne turned away Ysabella's own smile darkened like the world around them, the pupils of her eyes distorting into hungry slits. Laughing to herself at Jolyne's question Ysabella shrugged as she rolled her neck, listening to every individual pop of the vertebrae. "A survey? You could say it was something like that, yes." Ysabella responded, completely closing the distance between her and Jolyne. She bent forward so that her face was just a couple of inches away from the human girl's, taking her jaw between her thumb and index finger so that Jolyne was forced to notice the unnatural shift in her predatory eyes. "You see, it tends to freak the prey out when you say their name. So what do you think? Jo-lyne." Ysabella cooed, emphasizing each syllable separately to drive her point home.
