“I like your style.” He says, reaching behind himself to touch the hilt sticking down by his spine. He also opens his jacket to show not one, not two, not even three, but four holsters. Two on the inside of his jacket, and two more shoulder mounted ones. “Here in case you need it.” He says, and you assume he’s going to give you one nod those, but instead he pulls a smaller, but still high caliber handgun from his boot. The thing looks small in his hand, but in yours it’s pretty big. “Careful, it has a bit of a kick. Tuck it away for now. We’re almost to the pizza place, where you’re going to have to bar those pretty eyelashes of yours. We need to know where these fuckers are, and I’m sure you can flirt it out of the driver.”

She takes the gun and after thinking for just a second tucks it down in her boot as it would be to obvious in tucked anywhere else in her tight clothing. "Awww see I knew you were taking me for Italian..." A giggle slipped past her lips as she referenced his date idea from yesterday. Running her fingers threw her hair to de-tangle it a bit more and kind of wishing she had some makeup on but oh well, she would just have to let her body do most of the talking.given the stares she was already getting as they walked down the street it shouldn't be to hard...

You look at Checkers as you approach. It’s in a row house, nestled between a pot dispensary and one of those herbal supplements places where they try to help you loose weight. The front of the store says checkers in black hand writing. The walls are large black and white tiles, and the floor is the same but with only one inch squares. There is remarkably little room inside, maybe six feet from front door to the counter that is about eight feet long. There isn’t anywhere to sit, but there is a short shelf along the window some people use to eat. The counter is half rotating display for the pizza, a cash register and a little space for the customer to interact with the staff.
Behind the counter you can see a middle aged, brown-skinned man. He wears white cotton pants, a scrubs style white shirt and a white apron with flour handprints near the hips. His hair is in a hairnet and we wears a little white paper hat. He gives off humorless vibes from the way he moves to his expressionless face.

"hi" she says as she kinda bounces over to the counter looking excitedly at the pizza or atleast pretending to. "hmmm so many choices.... What would you recommend?" She asks as she turns her attention to the man behind the counter, flashing a sweet smile at him. "it's been so long since I had a good slice of pizza." Gone is the normal cold and almost aloof person that bud usually gets when he visits and here Infront of him she seems almost human in her actions.

Bud waits outside across the street. Not wanting his size to draw attention away from you. The man behind the counter’s expression doesn’t change in the slightest. He points at the meat lovers, and says, “You like meat one?” Then shifts up a layer, “Of veggie one?” Another layer, “Or maybe Hawaiian?”

"Hmmm I think I'll go with the meat one please." After staring at the pizza for a bit. "just one slice please." She says as she reaches down into her boot for the little pocket that holds her cards and money.

He pulls out a slice of the meat lovers pizza, drops it on a paper plate and sticks the plate into a waxy paper bag. "Drink?" He gestures at the fridge behind him, which is filled with coke products as well as milk and chocolate milk. Once you've chosen or declined, he finishes out the transaction. "Is there something else I can help you with?"

"no i think thats it, " she says and pays for her pizza and takes it over to the counter for taking small bites, she knew she would only be able to keep this up for a short time and hopefully someone else would come in that might be a bit more welcoming or she would have to try to seduce the owner and she wasnt to keen on that idea. Glancing out the window she looked for tombstone, hoping he didnt ditch her here. "he said i can trust him..." she whispered to herself as she tried to look interested in the pizza.

You take your meal slowly, but the only people to enter are a couple of teenagers. They grab a slice and stand outside so they can smoke and eat at the same time. The owner works away at cleaning stuff, and replacing the meat lovers that only had a slice or two left. The pizza here is pretty good, and the prices were excellent.

After finishing what she could of the pizza as she knew her limits on eating actual food she wanders over to the counter. "so im new in town and was hoping you could tell me about the town, i'm sure you know all the ins and outs." she said as she leaned on the counter flashing a good amount of cleavage at the man. as she turns her most dazzling smile towards him.

The man’s eyes do not drift down to your cleavage as is normally the reaction you would expect when you’re in this position. He seems entirely disinterested in your dazzling smile either. “I wake, I work, I sleep. What do I know of in’s and outs?” You do manage to catch sight of a delivery map behind him on the wall. The shaded area shows pretty much what Tombstone described. Not much help there either. “You want more pizza?”

"no thank you," she says and turns to leave, no point in trying to charm the uncharmable, perhaps she had lost her touch after all those centuries of being alone. With a slight shrug she heads for the door. "thank you for the delicious pizza" she calls out as she steps out of the shop. Immediately searching the streets for trouble and for tombstone.

The man immediately goes back to work, almost as if you ceased to exist to him the moment your interaction was completed. A minor ding to your ego, but you've had centuries to ignore such miner rejections. When you step out into the street you find both pretty quickly. The two teenagers take notice of you right away, one giving you a cat call whistle and the other offering his sexual services in an inappropriate, but creative way. Just like that, that dent to your ego is repaired. Those boys must not have noticed you inside, so focused on their stomachs at the time.
Tombstone is leaning against the wall across the street roughly where he was before. He makes eye contact with you when the boys begin their harassment, standing up to his full height. He doesn't approach, but you can feel his intensity from here. If you want these boys hospitalized, all you have to do is nod your head. The boys are too focused on you to realize just how close they are to death, and then there's Tombstone across the street.
A beat up gray car with a checkers sign on top pulls up to the curb in front of the store, scraping it's passenger side tire a little before the driver corrects course. A lanky young man dressed similarly to the charmless fellow inside steps out of the car. He leans back in to grab a pizza carrying bag.

Ignoring the two boys she glances at tombstone and gives a slight shake of her head to say no that she doesnt need his help, glancing towards the man that just pulls up she puts on her most flirtatious smile and walks well more like glides over to him." hi, sorry to bother you, i'm new to the area and was hoping you could help me..." she said as she looked him over, before turning her gaze back to his face. this kid seemed like an easier target than the pizza joint owner.

“Uh maybe? What is it that you need?” He closes the door to his car, and tucks the bag under his arm. The other two start making offensive comments about your sexuality, and pretty much anything else they can think of since you didn’t give them the time of day. The pizza boy looks past you at them, “Hey! Shut up already.” He says, though he doesn’t look as confident as he sounds. “Sorry, you were saying?” He says to you after yelling at them.

"i was hoping to find some people to do a job for me, under the table kind of hush hush type job, you wouldnt happen to know where i could find people like that?" she said as she leaned in close her words whispered almost, the angle gave a nice view of cleavage as she spoke before straightening up and flashing a smile at him. She knew tombstone was watching and part of her wanted to put on a bit of a show for him by flirting with this kid but she knew she had a job to do first and foremost.

He pitches his voice lower and looks around, especially past you at the two teens who haven’t shut up, and in fact are only becoming more vulgar. Tombstone cracks his neck to the side and stretches, his muscular frame bulging against his shredded tee shirt. If he’s putting on a show of how relaxed he is, you know he wants to hurt those teens. They’re being loud enough that you’re sure he can hear them.
The pizza guy leans in, not to close, but close enough to quietly say, “I don’t know anybody like that.” Then he quickly adds, “But I’ve been delivering to these guys.” so quickly that it almost blurs together. “Here.” He digs around in his pockets and pulls out a delivery slip. “This is the address, they’re shit tippers by the way.”

"thanks so very much," she says and winks at him as she takes the slip and tucks it into her corest top before turning her attention to the vulgar teens, no longer amused by their talk as she walks over to them... " you two really need to learn how to talk to a lady...." her voice darkens and seems to drip venom as she looks at them. "now why dont you both run along and be good little boys. like im sure your moms actually raised you to be." gone is the sweet and flirty girl she was a few seconds ago, a darkness seems to roll over her as she stares them down. even at her 5'7" height she is intimidating at this moment.

The pizza guy follows the paper as it vanishes into your cleavage, then gulps audibly as he jerks his eyes back to yours. The two boys stop talking as you turn on them and both take a step back. One does manage to say, “Oh yeah, this bitch is feisty I like that.” But they’re both cowed by your abrupt turn and extreme change in demeanor. The pizza guy mumbles, “That was awesome.” Pitched so only you could hear it as he passes by you and into the store. With the address acquired, the pizza guy charmed and the teens cowed you head back over to Tombstone. “Did you get what we needed?” Is all he says, but you see the smirk on his face. He loved every minute of that.

Reaching into her cleavage and pulling out the address she holds it out to him. "Of course I did. I batted my pretty little eyelashes, flashed a bit of boobs and he was putty in my hands" she says with a chuckle as she looks up at him, a smirk on her face. Pleased that she was able to get the info from the driver and she managed to do it without violence.

"I have to admit that I was thinking about chucking that brick at those teens." He gestures to the corner of the building he's leaning on. You don't see any bricks laying around, but the building itself is made from bricks. From this distance it would have been a hell of a throw, but he sounds confident enough. He takes the paper and glances at the address, then he pulls out his phone to look up where it is. "Okay, it's not that far. Maybe ten minutes. Let's go." The teens shout one more obscenity at you, and Tombstone just tosses one hand over your shoulders and with the other he flips them off. "Those pests are lucky we have other people to kill."
The two of you walk together to the address. A fair sized warehouse that has fallen to disrepair. The whole property is surrounded by a chain link fence with sheet metal wired to it. "Try not to stare, but there is a guy on the roof with a rifle. These Followers of Set are not messing around." You both walk past the property, noting an open gate with a pair of guards sitting in a little shack. You turn down the next street. "If they have a guy on the roof, and guards on the gate then they likely have patrols walking around too. We've already killed three of their men tonight, and none of them were the three you dealt with before. How the fuck did they recruit this many Humans under our noses?"

"i dont know, a lot has changed in the last few months so its not that surprising," she says and shrugs as they pass a group of people and she leans into him to keep up the appearance of them being a couple out on a stroll together. Having discarded the rest of the pizza in a trashcan during the walk. She knew she wasn't going to be able to keep down the food for much longer and spots a small coffee shop across the street and starts heading towards it, doing her best to keep up the appearance of a couple out on a date.

Tombstone follows Elle’s lead. He’s not really sure why she wants to go to a coffee shop, but is willing to play along if he keeps getting her tits squished into his ribs. “We should grab a coffee and make the start of a plan. I’m not very sneaky, but I can be fast as hell.”

"i can be a distraction," she says and shrugs as they step into the coffee shop, "I'll be right back" she calls over shoulder as she heads for the bathroom, Glad that the bathroom was empty as she proceeds to vomit up the pizza she had eaten. Silently cursing at herself for actually eating the stupid pizza, even though it had tasted good she knew better than to eat actual food. Once she has emptied the contents of her stomach she is careful to wash up and make sure she doesn't look like she was just vomiting before making her way back out to figure out where tombstone was. Having disappeared for about 20 minutes or so he was probably wondering what happened to her.

“No.” Is all he says to your offer of being a distraction. When he sees your confusion, he adds, “You got run off the road by their crew. They know who you are. If you show up, they might just shoot that pretty little face of yours.” He sits back in his chair, the chair creaks under his weight. “I’m thinking we go in quiet, try to take out the guy on the roof. Then we can use our phones to coordinate hits on the guard squads.”
You excuse yourself and he nods, recognizing the desire to rid yourself of solid food. It’s just not worth the hunger most times to force your blood to process actual food. As you head to the bathroom, he starts drumming on the table.
When you exit the bathroom twenty minutes later, Tombstone is nowhere to be seen. The chick behind the counter says, “Excuse me Miss?” When you turn she continues, “The big guy you came in with said he got bored of waiting, and will try and leave you some.” She looks confused, and she hesitates like she wants to say something else but chooses not to. As you leave, she catches up to you between the two doors and says, “Sorry. This is none of my business, but I don’t think he’s a good guy. He identified you to me as the hot chick in the corset with the great tits.” Her body language says she’s uncomfortable, but she seems to be genuinely looking out for a fellow woman.

When she realizes he is no where around she rolls her eyes and heads for the door till the girl behind the counter gets her attention and she rolls her eyes again, not at the poor girl but at tombstone. "its a bit of a joke between us, no worries." she says to the girl as she heads out the door. "thanks for the concern though." turning and heading back towards the run down building they had scouted, looking towards the roof to see if tombstone had taken out the guard on the roof before getting closer to the front gate, she didn't have tombstone to hide behind at the moment so she was wary of getting to close incase the guards recognized her.

Tombstone sits at the table in the coffee shop for a minute, drumming away on the table. 'Where is she? It's not like we need to piss anymore.' He thinks to himself. He drums on the table for another couple minutes before he gets tired of that and begins pacing the room. 'There are people to hurt just around the corner. What's taking so long?' After five minutes, Tombstone is done waiting. He approaches the counter, "Hey there. You know the hot chick in the corset with the great tits that I came in with? Tell her I got bored of waiting, and I'll try to leave her some." With that Tombstone heads out the door, back toward the warehouse.
On the way over Tombstone psychs himself up, forcing his blood into his long dead muscles. Making his nerve endings sing with long forgotten sensitivity. He moves along the sheet metal covered fence listening for guards, and peeking through gaps for a likely place to jump over into cover. When he finds a suitable place, he casually leaps completely over the fence without touching it. He dodges behind a pile of scrap metal to allow a patrol of two guards to pass, then runs to the main building itself. Wanting to get up onto the roof before the patrol passes again Tombstone begins climbing as soon as he reaches the wall. Using whatever he can grab to haul himself up. A rusty pipe, a boarded up window ledge, and some sort of electrical conduit get him near the top, but one of the screws holding the conduit pops loose with a loud snap.
Tombstone freezes a foot from the edge of the roof, listening for the guy with the rifle. A moment later he hears what he was hoping to avoid, careful footsteps approaching his location. 'Fuck this.' Tombstone thinks to himself, 'I'm not fighting from way the fuck down here.' Hauling himself up and over the edge of the roof, Tombstone charges the man, slamming his full weight into him before he has a chance to aim his rifle. They both go down hard, but Tombstone stubbornly refuses to let the man go. He wraps his powerful arms and legs around him, squeezing and twisting until the man falls limp in his arms. He holds that position for a moment longer to make sure the man is unconscious. Then he sinks his fangs into his neck, allowing his warm blood to pump into his mouth. This man will require medical attention, but that isn't Tombstone's problem right now.
Tombstone wipes the blood from his mouth, and licks the wounds on the man's throat shut out of habit. He untangles himself from him, and searches through his pockets. Pack of gum, a spare mag for the rifle, a cell phone and some smokes. He takes the rifle, the spare ammo and the phone. The phone he shuts off and sticks in a pocket with the spare ammo, and the rifle gets shouldered. By his count he has four more people to take out before Elle gets here. Hopefully without raising the alarm. Tombstone moves to the edge of the roof to see if anybody noticed the commotion. The two gate guards are still standing by the gate, while the two on patrol are still patrolling. "Good." Tombstone says to himself. "Now where to jump the pair of you?" He says, scanning his surroundings for a likely ambush point. With his spot located, as far from the gate as possible he climbs down the roof's access ladder and moves into position.

Tombstone gets into position by the corner of the building where the patrol will circle past as they walk. He misjudges how far away they are and leaps out to attack them too early. The men go for their guns, but Tombstone is quicker. He smashes the first man in the face with his fist, and he crumples to the ground. He then grabs the second man's head, yanking it down as he drives his knee upward into the man's face. These men will live, but they will never be models after this.
Tombstone drags their bodies to a more discreet location, and goes through their pockets. A shotgun, and two handguns, a dozen shotgun shells, and two spare clips for the handguns. He hides the ammo under a nearby barrel, which he then sticks the guns inside of. None of the ammo would work with his own weapons. Two more phones are turned off and stuffed into his pocket. A small pocket knife, some change and a flask are all left where they are. "Three down, and two to go." He says to the two unconscious guards before moving toward the front gate.

Tombstone approaches the men guarding the gate, hoping that his approach from the inside of the compound will aid his efforts. Having been warned that other vampires might be coming, are paying more attention than usual and spot Tombstone approaching. Tombstone charges forward to close the distance, but one of the guards is faster on the draw and manages to get a shot off before he can reach him. Tombstone ignores the bullet wound, and tries to punch the guard in the face. Again the guard is faster, ducking under the blow. Tombstone has had enough of this Human, so he smashes an elbow into his face. The guard drops to the ground unconscious. Tombstone spits on the unconscious man, forgetting in his anger that there were two guards. He's reminded quickly enough when another shot rings out, punching harmlessly into the undead flesh of Tombstone's back.

Elle is currently on the street where the building is located scanning the roof to look for the guy with the rifle. Then her attention is drawn to the front gate by the sound of two gunshots. The battle is taking place just inside the gates, so you can't see what is happening in there, but you know that Tombstone has gotten himself into trouble. It's your turn to declare actions, if you want to get to the gate it will take you your whole turn to do so, though you could spend blood on celerity to have an additional action at the end of the turn.

"of course he got himself into trouble." she mutters as she makes her way towards the gate pausing long enough to draw the small gun from her boot. Tucking it against her side as she walked so as not to draw attention to it as she made her way towards the gate. So far no one else had seemed to notice the gunshots though she was sure it wouldnt be long before either the cops or other people showed up so this needed to be quick. "impatient asshole." grumbling about the fact that he couldn't have waited for her now she had to play catch up.
