ROLEPLAY HQ - earth-reborn

Chicago. Downtown... It was almost a war zone these days, but the city refused to accept it because the violence didn't occur in the broad daylight on the streets, but it was very prevalent. The warring gangs of werewolves, witches, werebears, and gobs had been raging for as long as the town had been around. Some even blame the fire of 1871 on them... John Smith had just gotten into town. He had no identity, hence the name, but right now, he was needing money. He was a changeling. He could use any face, any body (or body parts that he needed), or any personality he needed to get what he needed. He had been using that to get his ear to the ground to find out what the leaders of these warring factions were doing. Now, it was time for his play. Stepping up to the doors of the building, he would give a soft knock, a rhythm that was told to him by another patron. A sliding window would open, "What?" "Tavern seems to be full of ale," he stated a rehearsed line, "Be a shame for no one to drink it..." With that the door's window would shut, the door would open and he would be allowed access. The floor almost bounced from the sound of music below.

Faelani's body rocked with the music, her hips swayed with the beat. Her golden curls bounced against her round face as she danced with herself. Her father hated when she came to these secret clubs, it was unbecoming of a young alpha in the making. Faelani kept dancing as an unknown man came up behind her and grabbed her hips. She continued to dance, unfazed by her new partner. She moved her hips in time with his and the music. The lights flashed as the music thumped, almost as if it could shake the entire building down leaving nothing but rubble and rock behind in its wake. As the song came to an end she finally calmed her body down and pulled herself together long enough to walk over to the bar and called for a drink. She pulled up a seat as he placed it in front of her. "Escaped your bodyguard once again did ya?" He looked at her knowingly and she smirked at him as she responded. "Haven't found one yet who can keep up with me." She took a good drink of her beer and watched as the music turned back up again, pumping up the crowd and clearing the bar save for her. @jakeybean

While he slipped into the shadows in the hallway that separated the stairs to the dance floor and the upstairs security check, he would begin to morph his body. The six foot tall human male that entered the room would be replaced by the appearance of a 6 foot, 5 inch hulking behemoth of a dragonborn. He smiled down as he would reach into his now leather coat pocket and pull out a cigarette from it, lighting it up as he walked down the steps of the building. He would find himself overwhelmed by the sounds of the music as he opened the doors at the bottom of the stairs. He would walk across the threshold and begin to observe. Above the dance floor was a overlooking edge of flooring, something for everyone. A VIP area, a bar area, a lounge area, and even a game room. This place surely had everything. He looked across the crowd, he knew she was her and she was going to accept his offer, he just had to find her first. And find her he did, sitting on the end of a barstool, nursing a beer. He would approach with caution, he didn't want her running off without him getting the word in. "Ah, Ms. Faelani," he would say as he approached from the side, "Your father would be disappointed..."

Faelani took another sip of her beer, listening to the music play her foot tapped against the bar. As the bartender walked away to help other customers across the bar she head footsteps behind her. She assumed they were someone coming to sit beside her. But she was wrong in a few more ways then one. Little did she know they were looking for her. As she turned on the barstool to greet them, they spoke and she blinked away her surprise and looked at the tall human like dragon. His stature much taller then she was anticipating. "What my father doesn't know, doesn't hurt him. Or me for that matter." She added as she took another sip. She turned back to the bar, already over this conversation. Her father was a thorn in her side every day of her life. She gently lifted one of her hands and touched the side of her face that was scarred. Her fingers ran down the soft still very pink middle. She sighed and took a heavy swig of her beer, washing away the thoughts of the assault many years ago. "What do you want?" She asked out loud, not needing her father to know where she disappeared to. @jakeybean

"Weird..." he said with a smile and a hush tone as he would find the seat beside her, "This is not the kind of place I would find the future alpha of a crew at. Especially one like yours. I was expecting more of a bar or heavy metal scene... Not dance club." Waving to the bartender to get their attention, he would continue as he waited, "What I want isn't important right now, but what I need to know is more..." A soft smile curled his lips, "I am looking for work, I hear you are not someone who is easy to keep up with, maybe you can test me for some pay?"

"Well I am not a normal alpha heir that's for sure." She looked over at him as she took a drink of her beer. "You ask my father I must have been hatched because I don't act like either of them." As they talked the music changed and became a little heavier, almost rebounding off of the walls and floor making it even louder. "Test you?" She looked over at him and calculated her chances of evading him. "I definitely think my father would like you for sure. You actually know who I am, I come here for that reason. To most here I am just another person ready to party. Not someone who eventually has to battle their father and take over an entire community basically." She drained her beer and looked over at him. "We can see how you do. But first I need to use the bathroom." She told him as she motioned for the bartender to bring her another beer as she got up. "Be right back." She turned and headed towards the bathroom which was next to the kitchen doors, she slipped in to give the illusion that she was in fact going to go to the bathroom. As the music thumped louder she poked her head out of the door to see that the crowd had moved towards her direction and she thanked her luck as she slipped into the kitchen and headed towards the back door of the establishment. As she slipped through it she climbed the fire escape and shifted into her beautiful dark colored wolf and began hopping over rooftops, moving swiftly and quietly away from the stranger who came to her. @jakeybean

He watched her, almost hawk like in a fashion as his eyes would narrow like that of a bird watching its prey move through a crowded area. As soon as he saw that she moved into the bathroom, his form would shift. In an instant, his body would change from that of a dragonborn to that of a party goer, changing to that of a demonic, blue skinned raver. He smiled as he would move to the edge of the crowd, ready to enter the bathroom, hoping she would attempt to exit through the bathroom, but as he stepped towards the door, he would see her poke her head out. She would look at the crowd and then escaped through the kitchen side doors beside of it, where he thought she was going first... With another moment of change, his body would shift, this time shrinking down to the size of a small bat, but the speed would enough to keep up with the closing door as he would just able to squeeze through and watch as slipped through the backdoor and out of the establishment. Finding a small vent nearby, he would fly in and out of the building as well. Up into the air, he would use sonar to pick up footsteps in the fire escape, and one final switch to eagle, allowed him to watch her as she would begin to move over the tops of the city. He waited for the moment when she stopped or slowed.
